When We Met ❤️

Hurray ! First Salary 💰

Bright Sun rays tried to enter the house along with giggles of birds and that's when the clock cuckooed seven times indicating the time. Gently rubbing the palm, Varun opened his eyes and the next thing he did was smiling, looking at the date in his mobile phone.

Yes! It was his salary day, that too his first ever salary. Even though he was not much concerned about the amount of the salary due to his wealthy financial background, the feeling that it was his money made him feel special about it.

He was having plans with his salary, he wanted to gift his parents and few others with the salary. He thought of buying something useful for the apartment security and his home servant maid. He wanted to buy clothes for his parents. Deciding on that, he started to office after getting ready.

Though he started early, Chennai's popular traffic made him wait at every signal. Somehow he managed to reached the office on time and while entering the main gate, he noticed a Gang of Four girls giggling to each other. Out of the four girls, he sensed someone looking at him, and tried to notice the girl by pulling the coolers down with one hand and riding the RE in another hand with a baby cute smile. But he couldn't, as they moved towards the building entrance and him being riding towards parking lot.

After parking his beast (RE), he moved towards the building entrance and reached his training room. He found his batch mates greeting him and few of his closed friends calling him "Machan". Most of his batch mates were from his college except few which includes a boy and a girl from Sanjana's College.

Subha and Anitha: Good Morning Varun. Looking so bright...
Brindha : Yeah! Salary Day right... Much excited I guess.
Danny: Come on Varun, you could easily get one months salary as pocket money from your dad. Then what's special about this money?
Varun : Certain things in life would be always special. First School, First job, First Salary, First Love etc., I am not much into the amount of money. Though the amount is small compared to my parents wealth, it's my salary. Even my dad would have started like this during his initial career days. So I am proud of my capability to secure a job and much excited about the salary.
Friends together : Super Varun.
Anisha : This quality in you is what makes you stand alone from the crowd. (Said teasingly with a wink)
Varun : Rightuuu.. Am I the scapegoat today ? (With a smile)
Krishna : Jokes apart.. You are really so humble.

With their usual banters, they spent their morning session of training and it was lunch time. When they were about to head to cafeteria, that's when people were standing in groups discussing excitedly by looking at their mobile. YES! It was the notification from bank indicating that they have received their salary. Everybody on the floor seems to be thrilled. Some were first graduates in their family and receiving their salary made them emotional. Some were aspirers of the job, so the salary notification made them enthusiastic. But on the whole, everyone looked enthusiastic, not because they received a text from their lover or family or friends, it was from bank indicating that "Rs. *** has been credited to your account".

Carrying the excitement, Varun and his friends had lunch. Varun had a gang of 7 friends including him, out of which 4 were girls and 3 boys. He had been with them since his college days and they had supported him throughout as he was new to Chennai. So Varun always felt special about them. Its true right , "A Friend in Deed is a Friend in Need".

After their lunch, they completed their afternoon training session as well and everyone bid bye and headed towards their home. Varun decided to go out for shopping and bought the things which he planned earlier. He bought a Formal Shirt for his dad, a Saree for his mom, toys and dress for the housemaid's kids and a new pair of slippers for the apartment security.

Since he couldn't meet his parents immediately, he thought of gifting them when they could meet. So he gave the gifts to the security and housemaid. The happiness on their face gave him the satisfaction and inner peace. With such a positive vibe, he signed off the day happily.
