Khushi reached home and sighed. “What a day!” she yelled in the empty house. She lived alone here in New York and was independent. She earned money on her own and studied hard to achieve her goal.

Khushi looked at the mirror to see herself. She looked awful and needed a nap. She slid into bed not putting on her alarm and dozed off to sleep in her warm bed.

Arnav on the other side had nowhere to go. He was walking in the streets with his luggage and was freezing.

“Looks like I have to sleep on the bench tonight as well.” He sighed.

Arnav was used to this ever since he was born. Although he had been brought up in a rich family… he never took advantage of it because he too believed that in this life he would have to achieve something on his own.

He lay on the bench hugging his luggage while Khushi was in her cozy bedroom. Both were in different situations while same positions… they were sleeping peacefully.

The sun had risen and Khushi got up pretty late for work. “Crap! What time is it?” Khushi asked herself.

She looked at the clock and here she saw it was 9am. She was late for work.

‘Who comes back from a holiday and the next day joins back to work? I guess it’s only Khushi!’ she rolled her eyes at her own speculations.

Arnav rubbed his eyes and saw people walking around. His stomach was growling and wanted something to eat really badly.

He got up and allowed himself to get in his senses. He had a bottle of water in his bag and floss… so he freshened up with the limited items. “Time to go look for some work…” he smiled.

Arnav had done a degree in fashion and was well known in India due to his father but he wanted something for himself… something that he achieved without the help of his father or anyone else.

Both Arnav and Khushi left for work not knowing that they will end up at the same place.

Khushi was walking down the streets of New York. Her work was down the street and she never cared less to drive her car down there. It was simply pointless.

She picked up some coffee on her way along with 2 donuts… who can say that this girl ate 6 meals a day and yet she was the size of a stick. She never went to the gym and would lose her breath while running up the stairs… what kept her so fit? No one knew…

Arnav was walking down the street as well but without breakfast. He had only $50 on him and he kept it aside for emergencies. Since he had done a degree in fashion… he thought of joining a fashion designing company.

He walked in front of the building.

She walked in front of the building.

Arnav looked up to see the company’s name while Khushi walked normally sipping her coffee.

Crash… Arnav and Khushi bumped into each other which made Khushi’s coffee spill.

“F*ck! Are you blind! Can’t you see?” Khushi yelled.

Arnav looked up in shock. “Miss. Locket?”

“Mr. Black Armaani?” Khushi teased back.

“Nice to see you again…” Arnav smiled at her.

“Nice? You’re saying nice? You just spilt my coffee! And you’re saying nice! You gotta be kidding me! At the Airport we had said… no you had said ‘let’s forget the past and just shake hands’. Look what happened today… again! Another rough start. Sometimes I think you really are blind! For the 5^th time… 5^th time you’re bumping into me for an entire 2 days!” Khushi scolded Arnav while throwing away her cup in the garbage near.

“Ok ok I’m sorry… I couldn’t see that’s why… I was looking up at the company’s name…” Arnav looked embarrassed.

“I’ve never really seen you around…” Khushi said in a confused manner.

“Why you work here?” Arnav laughed.

“Yup…” Khushi smiled.

“What the! You work at Jha Textiles? How?” Arnav in shock mode.

“Why? What’s so bad in working at Jha Textiles?” Khushi asked confused.

“You need a fashion degree to get a job here and you seem to be in your 20’s… maybe in University or College?” Arnav guessed.

Khushi was fuming. Ever since childhood, everyone had always judged her for her appearance and now Arnav was judging her.

“Stop judging!” Khushi brought her hands on her hips.

“I’m 23 and yes I’m in University… I’m just doing a part time job here to make a living. Mr. Jha is my Aunt’s friend’s nephew and so she got me a part time job here.” Khushi spoke confidently.

“So you’re saying you got a job because your Aunt knows Mr. Jha? So it’s not your hard work is it?” Arnav clenched his jaw.

“Why do you care… it’s not like I sit in there and do nothing… I actually do work ok. Wait… why am I explaining this to you?” Khushi bit her nails.

“Well who knows if you just got the job due to being related to Mr. Jha… there are many people who need jobs and are able to earn it without being related to their boss.” Arnav folded his arms.

Khushi knew he was right. “Why are you standing here? My shift is about to start… now move aside before I get late!” Khushi pushed him aside.

She went inside and signed in. The receptionist smiled and called Mr. Jha. “Sir… Maam is here, shall I send her up?”

“She knows… she’ll come on her own…” replied a husky voice.

Arnav walked in the building and looked at the receptionist. “Hello… how can I help you?”

“Ya…uh… I’d like to meet with Mr.Jha…” Arnav smiled.

“Do you have a fixed appointment with him?” the receptionist asked.

“Uhhh… not really… but I’m here for a job interview…” Arnav said hesitantly.

“Well let me give Mr. Jha a call and I’ll see what he wants…” the receptionist dialled the number for his cabin.

“Sir… someone is here for a job interview… shall I send him up?”

“Ya sure”

She cut the call and looked up at Arnav. “Sir has called you up…” and before she could finish her sentence, Arnav had already ran up the stairs towards Mr. Jha’s Cabin.

Khushi was with him in the same cabin discussing about their next project. “So Sir I was thinking that how about we chose this design…” Khushi pointed at the laptop screen.

“Miss Gupta… how many times have I told you to not call me Sir.” He said with an evil smirk.

“Well then Mr. Jha… how many times have I told you to not call me Miss Gupta.” An irritated Khushi replied back.

“You call me Shyaam and I will call you by your name…” Shyaam grinned.

“The name is Khushi only Khushi… is that clear Shyaam?” she pointed back on the laptop screen and continued talking about the designs.
