Unadulterated Love

Part 6

Sana's POV

It's been TWO weeks I've shifted. To my own house. Sounds good right? It wasn't as easy as I had thought. Though I got a good 2BHK flat, but the furnishings left me penniless.

Thanks to my previous job, I had some money apart from the one Mummy had given me, it helped me getting an extravagant interior. I've spent all of it now.

I bought a medium sized Belgian roll arm lounger sofa set and an oval shaped glass topped tea table for the living room. A full murphy bed. A miller 3 door wardrobe. A square shapped solidwood dinning.

Talking of appliances I've bought an AC, a washing machine, a refrigerator and a cookstove and a microwave oven.
I bought a kitchen set. I didn't go for a TV though.

I am impatiently waiting for my paycheck these days because I've still got anonymous stuffs to buy. Damnn! It's not at all easy to live alone. The ambitious self in me now realised.

How can I forget to mention! My companions. They've helped alot. Meeti helped me with shifting, stayed with me for a couple of days, assisted me in settling the movables.

Sidharth was always just a phone call away. I sauntered around half of the city with him to purchase my commemdatories.

Also Vikas got me some cabinetwork at tolerable cost.
I've spoken to my parents about my new house, but sadly, I cannot invite them for now. I'll just have to wait till I am prudently deep pocket. To host them.

Mummy was calling me home, to celebrate Diwali with them. I also wished to go. But Adi's health ran-down. Once we three had gone to run some errands and got drenched in the rain. It left him feverish for 3 days. Meeti had freaked-out when his temperature ran upto 102°. I was worried too.

I celebrated Diwali in Mumbai consequently.
I enjoyed alot making rangoli in the office, with Priya & Isha. My underling colleagues and new friends.

Jay had suggested to make a building in place of flowers in the rangoli. As it would symbolize our company. He's bluntly humorous, I tell you.

I remember, we decided to have a Diwali meet up at Vikas's place. I was dressed in a black embroidered crop top paired with a golden long skirt. Adorned with silver earings. I bought a packet of sweets. Besan ke laddoo with me. Mummy had asked me not go empty hands. Vikas's bungalow wasn't just large. It was a huge and grand villa!

I met Mahi, Jay, Vishal, Rohan, Aliya and so many people there. Sidharth arrived a little late, VIP. The already handsome hunk looked stunning in a carbon black kurta pajama that had golden embroidery over his chest. His mother had also accompanied him looking elegant in old lace coloured saree. I was introduced to her there.

"This is Shehnaaz... She's the Creative in Vikas's team.. " Sidharth introduced us.

"Happy Diwali Mam!" I joined my hands to greet her. I felt esteemed to meet her.

"Happy Diwali Shehnaaz... Maine kafi suna hai tumhare bare me... " she momentarily looked at Sidharth and Vikas. I smiled.

".... I'm astonished by your work... " she complimented me!

"Thank you so much..." I felt so happy at that moment. Self-satisfied.

Once I got a moment, looking at Sidharth. 'Kaisi lag rahi hu?' my lips motioned. He simply gave smirk, raising his eyebrows in surprise. I gave him a beautiful smile.

Post dinner, we began bursting crackers. My favourite thing about the carnival. I was always a pro at this. While Sidharth and Vikas stood at the portico, kept glancing at us. I began with lighting up Anars and chakaris with Mahi.
