Chapter 4

Khushi's POV

"Khushi wakeup... khushi wakeup" I heard someone's voice trying to wake me up. I slowly tried to open my eyes.

"Khushi, are you okay? How are you feeling now?" Nitya fired questions one by one.

"Nitya, I am fine, please can you pass that water to me?"

"Ya, ya, sorry" she passed me one glass of water. After drinking water, I saw my surroundings. I was in bed, Patel uncle was also there with a worried face.

"How are you feeling now, Khushi?" Patel uncle asked in a worried tone.

"Uncle, I am fine, actually, I didn't have my breakfast today, maybe that's why I fell unconscious".

"And may I know why you didn't have your breakfast?" Nitya asked glaring at me as I had committed some crime. Sometimes I am really get scared of her glares.

"I was getting late for work, that's why I-I didn't have break-breakfast," I said playing with my fingers nervously.

"It's okay, Khushi, take some rest, I will send you something for you to eat," he said, and he was about to go.

"Uncle, wait," I stopped him. I got down from the bed. "Uncle, I am really sorry for the morning incident, I didn't do that intentionally, suddenly I started feeling dizzy and that coffee spilled on him" I apologised to him and bowed my head, tears gathered in my eyes thinking about that morning incident.

"It's ok, my daughter, and you don't have to apologise, I know you didn't do that intentionally, now don't cry" he wiped my tears with his thumb.

"Stay here, I am sending you something to eat," he said and left from there.

"Come, Khushi, take some rest. Today you scared us all" she said by giving me a fake glare.

"Sorry, Nitya"

"It's okay, by the way, Khushi, do you know who was that guy whom you spilled coffee on, and that other guy"?

"No, but one thing I came to know that is that Shourya guy is heartless."

"Idiot" she smacked on my head

ouchh that's hurt

"They are the Billionaires, the one who was shouting at you was Mr. Shourya Kapoor, he is the CEO of the S.K company, and an other one is Mr. Rahul Malhotra, COO of S.K company."

I gasped with this new information."What?"

S.K company? Oh god, tomorrow I have interview there, that means that he will take my interview.... no, no Khushi don't think like that. Why will he take your interview? He must be a busy person. Any other person will take your interview. What if he takes my interview. He will surely fire me... ohh god, what will I do?

You didn't do anything, then why are you scared, Khushi? Everything will be alright, don't think the negative...think positive.

"Khushi, Khushi, what happened? What are you thinking?" Nitya asked me by shaking my arm as if she was trying to wake me from my sleep.

"Actually, Nitya, tomorrow I have an interview in a S.K company. If he takes my interview, he will surely not hire me. Didn't you see how he was glaring at me morning? He was looking like an angry bull ready to attack me anytime," I said in a worried tone.

I don't want to lose that chance. I want to earn for my mom's operation.

"Don't worry, baby. Everything will be all right, and you didn't do anything wrong, so don't be scared and best of luck, my bestieee" she said and hugged me tight.

"Thank you, Nitya, and thank you for always being there for me" I hugged her back.

"Okay, okay, stop your drama"

I chuckled.

This girl knows how to bring a smile to my face.

"Khushi, Patel sir asked you to have this," one of our staff members came with coffee and chicken rolls.

"Thank you, Nishan" I thanked him with a smile and took that plate from him.

"It's my pleasure," he said with a smile and left.

"Nitya, yesterday Ritik called me, he was asking about you," I told her while eating my chicken roll. I just love to irritate her.

"Yesterday he called me too," she said, rolling her eyes.

"Ohhhhhh, what was he saying?" I asked her innocently. I know that they never talk with each other properly. They always fight like a cat and a dog.

"What he will say, he called me just to irritate me, if he were here, then I would have fried him by putting chilli powder on him" she said gritting her teeth.

"Poor Ritik " I was laughing like a mad girl by holding my stomach.

"Stop it, Khushi, stop laughing," she said with annoyance.

"Nitya, are you planning to murder my brother?" I asked her while trying to control my laughter. Though I am trying not to laugh, but again I burst with laughing.

"You both are same" she stormed her feet and left the room.

After having my breakfast, I started doing work.

▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪

Today we had lots of customers. I glanced at my watch, it was 8:00 pm. I packed my bag.

"Khushi, how will you go home?" Nitya asked me.

"I will take a cab," I said by taking my bag.

"No, Khushi, you are not going by cab, it's already 8:00 now, it's not safe to go alone by cab. Come, I will drop you home."

"But Nitya, you will get late."

"Khushi, I don't want to hear 'NO', I will not get late, now come."

"But Nit-" she didn't let me finish my sentence.

"Come, Khushi," she dragged me towards her bike.

Nitya dropped me near my entrance gate.

"Nitya, come inside" I invited her in.

"No khushi, next time".

My mom was standing on the balcony.

"Hello, aunty, how are you?" Nitya waved at her.

"I am fine, Nitya, come inside, have dinner and go" mom also invited her, but she denied it politely by saying she would surely come next time now it's is getting late.

After saying bye to her, I went inside and hugged my mom "mom, how are you?"

"I am fine, Khushi, now come inside and freshen up. Till then I will arrange for dinner".

"Mom, where is Divya?"

"She is in her room, maybe studying".

"Okay, mom, I am going to take a bath" I kissed her cheek and went to my room. I took out my clothes from my wardrobe and went to the bathroom to take a hot shower. As hot water flowed down on my body, I felt relaxed.

After taking a bath I wore my nightdress, and went downstairs to have dinner.

Divya and mom were waiting for me.

"Come, Khushi," I smiled at mom and took a seat beside Divya.

"Hi, Di (sis),"

"Hi Divi, how was your day?" I asked Divya.

"As usual, all the lectures were boring, I was feeling sleepy" she said, rolling her eyes while taking some rice in her plate.

"Divi, if you are feeling this way before becoming a lecturer, then what will you do after becoming a lecturer?"

"Di, after becoming a lecturer, I will give my students a break to sleep" she joked.

I lightly slapped her arm.

'Please, god, fulfill her dream of becoming a lecturer,' I prayed in my mind and started having my food.

"Khushi, how was your work?" Mom asked me, and I stopped eating, that morning incident flashed in my mind.

"It was good, mom, actually we had lots of customers today," I said and started eating.

I don't want to make them sad by telling that morning incident.

"Mom, tomorrow I have an interview at S.K company"

"Best of luck, Khushi, my blessings are always there with my daughters" mom said smiling.

"Best of luck, Di"

"Thank you".

After having our food, I and Divya washed the utensils. After giving medicines to my mom, I was going to my room.

"Di, wait" Divya called me.

"Yes, Divi"

"Di, actually I wanted fifteen thousand to fill the exam fee" she was hesitating to ask for money from me.

"Divi, don't hesitate to ask me anything from me. I am your sister, so never hesitate to ask for money from me" I said, cupping her cheeks, she nodded and gave me a small smile.

"Thank you, Di, for always helping me because of you I have been able to study further to pursue my dream" tears formed in her eye, and she hugged me tight.

"Don't thank me, Divi, if your sister won't help you then who will?" I asked her stroking her back.

"Okay, wait, I am coming with money," I said and opened my cupboard and took out fifteen thousand from my bag.

"Here, take this and fill your fee" I said handing her money.

"Thank you, Di"

I gave her a kiss on her head. "Now go and sleep, good night"

"Good night"

After she left, I closed my door and lay down on my bed thinking how to face that monster tomorrow, and soon I fell into a deep slumber.
