On Shade Darker — A Devakshi FF by Nivu — part 7

       
         ” Every day is a fashion show and the world is the runway…..”

Location : Mumbai ; West Bandra….

            Setting the coffee mug aside in the cupboard ; I get into finding a proper outfit for tommorow . Seeing me rummaging through my pile of clothes like a wild beast….; Ele Comes to my help. I make her sit on the couch and show her every possible combination of various dress which would look appropriate for tomorrow’s interview. As always ; Ele has her own ways of solving problems and look how she does this one………!!

” First impression is best impression Ele…..; I want to look my best 2morow….!! Help me out na….” I ask her hoping for some help.

“Sona…..; yeh sab toh purane kapde hai….!! I think you have not done shopping for an entire year…..!!!” 

” What……!!?? Ele these are the best and trendy ones yaar…..!! You know very well that my closest never ever goes out of fashion……!!” I say in one breath cause that is the fact and nobody can deny it…….!!

” Woh bhi sahi hai…..; but…. You have become very thin Sona; I think these Tee’s will be loose on you and make you look like a drumstick…..!!” She laughs looking at my waist which has really lost all its fat in the past six months…..

” My dear Ele……!! You are sadly mistaken……!! This is not being drumstick …. Its called being in shape…..!! Just like the song ”  I’m in love with the shape of you……!!” I say pushing some of the hairs off my shoulder with style… 

” Kuch bhi…… Dress ko chodo sona…..Boss ke baare mein Socho….. Come na ; let’s google on ” How to impress your handsome boss during interview….!!” 

” ELE……!! How do you know that company boss is a guy…?? If he is a guy how do you know he is handsome…..?? Kuch bhi…..!! What ever happens…; you have one solution….. let’s GOOGLE it……!! Google ki bacchii…..!!” 

” Usually sona…; such big companies will be having very handsome and hot bosses…..!! And kise pata aage kya hoga……!! Tumhare saath…..!!” 

        ((  She is much exicted than me for my boss……!! And at this point ; I exactly know what  is going through her brain…..!! ))

” Ele ; I know that you love to tease me for the entire 365 Day’s…. And you will successfully do that for All the 365 + 1 extra day on a leap year….. But at least aaj toh help karo yaar……!! ” I really ask her this time…..

         Finally Ele is Ele…..She makes people believe and worship the word ” Google ” …… She fills my brain with some weird tips and make me watch some 15 vedio’s  which are all about being confident and giving  the best interview…….!! My brain is really stressed up now and  is screaming for 1 cup of hot  Espresso……..!!!!!

           Finally it was 5 in the evening when we both shut the laptop and go out for real shopping……..!! I love this girl who is always ready to shop during all the seasons of the year irrespective of the bank balance…..!!

            As the line goes : Nothing Can be more dangerous than 2 single girls setting out for shopping on a free day…….!! This is exactly what we are upto…..!! At first….; We went to many famous fashion stores and finally in one store we get a dress which succeeds to convinces both of us. The clock already ticked  20 mins past 10 when we were back to our messy room……..!!



           ———————–

           ” Every New Morning is the start of a New Beginning ” and I woke up to indeed a very beautiful morning. I could feel a new flow of energy within me…..Something inside me says that everything is going to be all right today……. I quickly take a shower; put on my dress ; heels , brush my hair , apply kajal and set out to venture the first day of my professional life……!! Yay…..!! I’m toooo much excited…..!!

           Usually I and Ele use the same 2k14 model red colour two wheeler which serves our purpose well. Now its 2k17 and still it looks like a new one…….. I’m happy that at least we have maintained one thing properly…….!! So I’m a bit proud and also adore this vehicle which has lot of our memories back in Kolkata…….. Bidding Ele a final goodbye I rivved my moped to life……!!

Location : On road —

              OMG……!! It seems like everybody is hunting for their job today itself . Its just 8 in the morning and there are sooo many vehicles. I look at my white titan watch and is a bit relived as so have still one hour to reach there…..

         Kolkata and Singapore were such calm places; less people….; less noise……; less traffic…..; and more parks. This nagari lacks fresh air and silence ; I think waiting for the green light to flash so that I can get away from this crowd…..

       I was trying not to pay attention to the honking of innumerable number of vehicles behind me….;  when suddenly Something hit the backside of my moped soo hard making me fall with a thud raising the dirt in the already polluted air…… I manage to get up and look back and see a royal black ‘ Volkswagen Amego ‘ standing like a big monster……!! I hate people with least driving sense. I walk close to the vehicle to bash the driver and before I could do that ; the door opens and a handsome man wearing a white shirt with Tuxedo comes out from the right door of the car…….!! Okay…….my mind is yelling me that he is handsome but ryt now I’m in a mood to fight…….!!! Before i could say anything…; he stares into my eyes and  says…. ::

” I think……; I have seen you somewhere…..!! These eyes….!! ”

” Ohhh…….. Its sooo surprising that you can see also……!! As far as I know people who have pupil and iris won’t hit others vehicles on a bright sunny day……!!” 

” Actually mam you may be good at biology and anatomy……..BUT…..; It was your Luna which was standing in the wrong angle……”

” Hello sir…..; you may be good at geometry and angles; but I know at which angle my vehicle was standing….. And for your unkind information…..; it is not Luna its moped…..!!”

” Look ms.moped ; I’m  sorry….. I really have an important work today and let us not waste time……”

” Ms. Moped……!!! What do you mean by let us not waste time….?? Is that only you who is having important work…?? You even don’t have any idea how much big day it is for me sir……”

         By this time I could see soo many heads outside from every vehicle who were busy listening to our argument just like the morning headlines airing on CNNIB….. As soon as the green light flashed ; all the vehicles started moving leaving this ‘ Dashing guy ‘ and me in the middle of the road….. I look back at my fallen moped which is badly bruised by this guy who stands like pole in front of me and there I begin again ……..

” Look ; how badly you have bruised my moped…; its high time that you  join driving classes sir….”

“Well….. In that case its high time that you join parking classes ms.moped…..!! I’m really getting late and….” 

” And…… What……!! You want me to let you go just without paying for the loss which you have incurred to me…..??!!”

” Absolutely No…..; I’m surely paying for your losses….. And I’m sorry again….”

         Saying so he takes out his black wallet inside which;  I could see 3 credit ; 2 debit and many ATM cards….. Pretty rich guy……!! His coat and car speaks about him…..He takes out a new 2000 rupees note and handing it to me  walks away back to his car as if nothing has happened……..!!!

          ” That is why I hate these rich kids and even the way they are brought up. Reach 20; get a licence ; take a Volkswagen ; roam around ; hit random vehicles ; pay them money and walk away and never bother again……!! He has hurted my moped ; wasted my time and  Look at my new black jeans…..!! It seems like the entire dust of Mumbai is residing on them……. I hate this ‘ Dashing Guy ” I say to myself lifting the fallen heavy vehicle and starts moving again…..!!

Dev’s POV ::

               ” Oh My God……!! Why is this girl so Chattyyy…..!! At first I felt  like ; I have seen her some where….; Her eyes were the same but with no tears in them this time…..!! What am I even thinking…; Then can never be same as  the gallery girl was soft and silent and this moped girl is tough and noisy…..!! ; Just in 5 minutes she speaks 500 sentences……!! Well Im happy I won’t have such employees…… Else I would drink Espresso like water……!! ” 

           Thinking so Dev drives away to his company and sona with her broken moped to the same  office for her interview…..!!
