MINE

Part 5 - Ice Cream

KHUSHI

After the busy and tiring day, I finally arrived at home, I dropped everything on the sofa and settled down to take a rest. One of the servants walked with a glass of cold water, I took it and told him to take my things to the room as I sipped the water.

"I thought you wouldn't go for any shoot today." Ananya said as she walked inside the house looking all cheery and happy.

"Why so?" I asked as I placed the empty glass on the table.

"Oh, let me think, because before I left, I saw your boyfriend coming and I thought you two would like to spend some quality time together." She giggled.

"Is someone jealous?" I teased.

"Sure, I actually am, I mean I've been with you for years now and all those guys you've dated are always just as perfect as you." She giggled.

"Oh come on, you know I dint even date them all, some just came home once or twice besides all they wanted was the famous model, not me really." I shrug.

Since I came to this industry all I've found is guys lusting for me, while all I'm dying for is a guy wanting to love me, which I guess doesn't happen anymore so I've just kind of accepted it.

"Anyway forget that, tell me how was your first shoot?" I looked at her excitedly.

"Awesome, I did what you said, I believed in myself and it worked." She said excitedly.

"That's great, now keep believing in yourself and one day you might get past me too." I smiled. I was genuinely happy for her, she deserved this after all the struggle she had been through. We sat there talking about random things as a few hours passed by.

My phone started vibrating in my hand as I looked at it, it was the same number that I had received a call from in the morning, I received the call and pressed the phone close to my ears.

"Hello."

"Miss Khushi, it's Aman again, we met at the AR office today?"

"Of course Aman, tell me."

"Actually we've made the decision and we want to work with you, I've got the contract prepared too, can you pass by the office anytime you are free and sign the contract so we can begin working?" he asked.

"Sure, I'll visit tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow then, goodbye Miss. Khushi."

"Goodbye." I disconnected the call excitedly, I couldn't believe that I actually did it, I mean I was going to work for one of the hugest companies in Mumbai, it was like a dream come true even though I never dreamt about anything of such sort.

"Wow, if you hadn't mentioned the name of the person you were talking to, I would have just assumed it to be Aditya, you looked so happy and excited, what's the good news?" Ananya looked at me curiously.

"Tomorrow I'm going to sign a contract with AR Designs, can you believe it?"

"What? You mean the AR Designs, one of the hugest fashion house in the city? Oh My God! That's really some great news Khushi." Ananya said as she hugged me excitedly.

"Looks like it's both our lucky time." I smile.

"Yup, we should have an ice cream pajama party, let's cheat our diet today." I suggested.

"Great, let me take a shower, you can send someone to get our favorite ice creams meanwhile." She suggested.

"No, I'll go myself, you know I don't like anyone else getting me my ice cream" I giggled.
