It was a blustery Friday morning, the wind was blowing and the autumn leaves followed its trail, all over London, khushi was still in bed fast asleep, dreaming about her life being perfect, she let out a small smile, but unfortunately her thought was broken, naina her 5 year old daughter was in the process of waking her up,
Naina: mom wake up wake up, its morning (she tugged on khushi)
Khushi: (lifted her hand from her sleep, and tried to pull her down on to the bed) baby go to sleep its only 6:30, (she said in a sleepy voice)
Naina: mom, this is not fair you promised, u promised we would go to hamleys today, (she sat on the side of the bed sulking)
Khushi: ok, ok we will go, but not now its early sweet heart, I have a job interview today and as soon as that finishes I will take u to hamleys I promise
Naina jumped in joy, hearing her mother will take her to the toy store today, khushi on the other hand got up with a stark from her bed, her eyes wide open remembering that she has a big job interview and she needs to be prepared for it, she quickly got off her bed, hurrying up, she got onto her daily routine of waking peter, getting naina ready, while peter prepared breakfast, peter and khushi were an amazing team together, they had mastered the art of the morning schedules, it was now 7:30 am khushi ran down to the bus stop with naina, the bus would come pick naina and take her to school, once naina was gone khushi would usually look at the papers for job opening and get redy for job interviews, today was a big interview, she was going to AR designs for her interview, for the post of a fashion designer,
Peter: hey khush, are u all set
Khushi: ya I am, I am nervous, I hope I get it
Peter: (put his arms around her) u will don't worry, have fate
Khushi: thanks babies , I hope so too, I am just going to go to my devi maya and pray
She went to her room to the little idle kept on the side was her devi maya and a small temple, she prayed to her, and hoped that she would get the job, so all their worries would get over. Then she scurried off to AR desigs, she reached picadeli street and came to this big huge building, it was an art deco building and looked magnificent, she walked inside the building and told the operator that she had come for an interview,
Operator: there is an opening for an assistant not a designer
Khushi: (looked grim,) alright I wouldn't mind applying for the post
Operator: (gave her a glance and the handed her the forms) fine fill these, I will let sir know that u have come for an interview
Khushi nodded her head and sat on the nearby desk to fill the forms , once done she handed them over and gave them to the operator, who asked her to wait as the person who she was going to interviewed by had not come in as yet' khushi waited for 20 minutes, and while she was waiting she saw a tall man who was well built and handsome, walk into the office, he came in a jiff causing the whole office to panic and shiver, everyone, looked prim and proper, the man came in yelling on his phone, his voice so loud that it could be heard from the other side of the room, she had pity for the person who was getting yelled at silently while passing by, he saw khushi sitting on the couch, he looked at her for a few seconds ad was mesmerized by her beauty, she was a petite young girl, and had this simplicity to her face that caught his eye, khushi saw him look at her and she stood up ,the moment broke his trance and he made his way through the lifts, leaving khushi to just stare at him leave' a few moments later the operator came and told her to go o the top floor for her interview, she did as she was told, she walked into the lift pressed the 15 floor button and waited till she reached on top, the lift opened into a posh office, well designed, she knocked on the glass door and herd that a voice had asked her to come in, she came in and sat on the chair, the persons back was towards her and so she couldn't see him, he turned around and to khushi's surprise it was the same man who just walked in creating havoc with his screaming, she was a bit nervous, as she was scared, but she had decided that no matter what she would get this job anyhow,
Khushi: (in a soft voice) good morning sir, I am here to apply for a job
Arnav: (looking at her from top to bottom) hmm I can see that (she was wearing a short mini skirt with a purple low neck full sleeves top, )
Khushi: sir this is my cv and other certificates, (she handed him over the file)
He took the file from her hand and started to flip through the pages, still engaged in asking her questions
Arnav: hmm, so ur a designer (he said in a husky voice)
Khushi: yes sir
Arnav: so why are you applying for a job as my personal assistant
Khushi: sir, I came to apply for a designers post, but the operator mentioned that there is no post vacant, so I thought of applying for this instead
Arnav: hmm, and u worked for rustic designs before, so why did u leave.
Khushi: because I had creative differences with the owner, so I decided to leave (she said boldly)
Arnav: (without even taking a second he said) fine ur hired, Monday morning, 8:00 am sharp, don't be late ms gupta (he said handing her back the file)
Khushi looked startled for a second, did he just give me the job' she thought, she looked dumb struck in front of him,
Arnav: ms gupta, anything else (he said raising an eye brow)
Khushi: (nodding her head in shock) n.. no
She thanked him and got up from the chair, and left the building , on her way down, she bumped into the operator, who was walking out
Operator: ms gupta, so did u get the job
Khushi: (smiled) yes' I did' u can call me khushi
Operator: hi khushi I am Janis'
Khushi and she shook hands and smiled
Janis: khushi hope u are able to handle the pressure of working with him
Khushi: (confused) what do u mean??
Janis: well he is ASR, he is the difficult man, lots of people have come and gone, and no one can last with his tantrums, let's hope ur exceptional'
Khushi: I think I can handle it, (she smiled)
Saying this she smiled and she left'
