Fan Fiction

One Shade Darker — A Devakshi FF by Nivu — part 5

Location : Ishwari Mansion

          It was already 8 pm when Tina called Dev to remaind him about the auction held at “Osain’s fashion gallery” . Actually Fab India was the main sponseres of the program and Dev’s presence was much needed there. As he was caught up in Ria’s wedding preparation he could not go on time. 

        It was ready 9:30 when he parked his car outside the gallery. He was walking hurriedly thinking the auction would be over when someone tooo beautiful dashed with him. There was no sufficient light to see her face But he could only notice her beautiful glistening dark black eyes…… BUT there was already tears pooled up in her eyes……!! He did not know why but he surely wanted to know why……!!

         Anybody could notice the excitement on mine and Ele’s face as we headed to the Auction. Reaching there all we could see was a long queue of sooo many fashion designers ready with their best sketches flaunting their individual piece of work trying out their days luck…..

       After a long wait of about 45 minutes we got a metal disc on which the number 333 was written. It was our token number and as it was third multiple of a hundred I very well knew tha today’s event would be extended late night….. 

           The auction took place in a exubarant banquet hall with well furnished chairs, tables and a grand main stage where every sketch was displayed. The main sponsers included many leading companies like Fan India, 

        Before displaying every new sketch ; the auctioneer was mentioning  a few professional details like the company to which they currently worked for, Years of experience , track records etc… about the person to whom that sketch belonged to… AND that is where I could smell something too fishy……..

          As the auction went on I noticed that the sketches which were made by the SO called “proffesionals ” was bid for a higher rate denying the fact that many new and younger artists just like me; had come up with their best ideas which were even tooo much compatible with today’s youth trends. That irked Me and Ele a lot. I even suggested Ele to walk away from there but she denied and I compelled to sit with her silently….

          The time was nearly 9:30 and finally my number came. With all the confidence mustered up in me ; I got up and walked to the main stage but what happened next left me with tearful eyes…….

        I was introduced as Sonakshi Bose from Kolkata; and the auctioneer displayed all the 3 designs. I was damn sure they were the best of all and I could also notice many buyers raising their eyebrows…… They waited for further professional details but as soon as the auctioneer said that I was only assured as a intern in one of the company and hence has no experience till date they went silent……. All the 3 final calls were made and nobody raised their hand to bid my beautiful sketches…..

        Feeling worthless; I even leave my sketches there and walked out of  the banquet hall with tears rolling down my cheeks. I was too upset and embrassed that I wanted to run away from that place…… With these thoughts I was walking hurriedly until my head hit

something too hard……. OUCH……!! I thought I had banged my head to a pole but after I opened my eyes it was a man…… Amidst the insufficient light I could notice that he was a handsome man……

         Feeling embrassed I walk away from him. After 4 steps I could hear him speak….

” Hey thin girl…….. I’m sorry….did it hurt you….??” He asked like a gentlemen.

” Banging head to a hard pole always hurts if you ever had a experience……. Mr…..Mr.pole…..!!” I reply to him with my  back still facing him.

” Mr.Pole…..???!!! I’m not Mr.Pole…. I’m De……..”  Before he could complete the sentence I cut him saying……

” Whatever……. Mr.Anonymous…. ”  and walk away from there…..

        My mood was soo much pissed off to get into an argument with anyone. I quickly call a taxi and head towards our room

I even didn’t remember that I have left Elena back there until the half way….. I quickly call her back and I’m relived to know that she is also on the way……

         While having dinner I remember that pole guy calling me thin girl and I ask Ele if I really look too much thin. She nods in a ‘yes’ and I unknowingly eat more that night…… Am I being affected…..?? I don’t know…..!!

        Dev took a last glance at the disappearing figure of the thin girl .He then turned to move but he saw something shining lying on the gallery for there. He picked up the thing and it was aa small metal disc .Dev flipped it and the number 333 was written on it. He suddenly came to know that it was the token number of that crying thin girl……!! 

              Dev goes inside the gallery and once the auctioning was done..; He enquires about that token number from one of the person in the office…..

” Do you know the girl whose token number was 333…..?? I would like to know if you have any details about this person…”

” No sir….. We don’t have any details….!!” Replies the man.

         Having no option Dev comes back to his house. He goes to Nilkis room and sees her fast asleep. He closes her laptop and drapes her a blanket….. He feels sad that within one month Nikki will go to her In- Laws house…..

           

            He comes back to his room and when he takes off his coat the metal disc falls down making him think of that gallery girl…… He sees in the mirror and wonder’s if he looks like a pole……….!! He tries to remember her face but he could remember only her eyes…….Dev keeps the token safely in his table drawer…. He smiles to himself and goes back to sleep……
