(Today's look for Akshu!)
It was a beautiful morning on the day of Akshu's interview. She wore a blush-coloured kurta with puffed elbow-length sleeves and white pants.
It was seven in the morning. As she went downstairs with her guitar and documents, she saw that the whole family excluding Aaru was excitedly waiting for her there, and Suvarna held a bowl of sweetened curd. As Akshu reached the last step, she lost her balance and was about to fall, but Kairav grabbed her hand and broke her fall. He glared at her and said, "Akshu!" "Why are you so careless when walking?"
Akshu looked apologetically at him. "Sorry, Bhaiya, I'll be more careful," she said while holding her ears in an apologetic gesture with child-like innocence.
Kairav's expression softened, and he relented, "Yes, please do that," while patting her head. In return, Akshu gave him an adorable smile that wiped away all the worry from his face.
"Akshu beta, you'll be late if you don't hurry now; come here and eat the sweet curd for good luck," exclaimed Suvarna, her eyes shining with amusement.
Akshu quickly went to Suvarna and took the curd before touching her feet to take her blessing. "I wish you success in every venture of life," murmured Suvarna.
Akshu, one by one, touched everyone's feet and got their blessings. When it was Mimi's turn, she kissed Akshu on the forehead and said, "Be happy, beta!"
Vansh and Kairav both hugged her while saying "best of luck."
"Akshu, after you get selected, I want you to promise me that you will go with us on a trip, because I can't even remember when was the last time we all went out together," declared Vansh.
"but-"
"No buts, Akshu, not this time," warned Vansh.
"Ahh...okay, I'm in."
"Now move fast or you'll be late for the interview," Vansh remarked with a full-blown smile.
"See you guys later!" Akshu waved her hands like a cute kid.
Akshu thanked the driver and got off in front of the address given in the email. She looked around and saw a big board with "Music Cures" written on it, and she started walking in its direction.
It was eight a.m. She had reached there half an hour before her interview was scheduled.
It was a large structure, and Akshu was surprised that they were putting in more effort than any other NGO she had worked for.
When she entered the building, people were rushing in all directions, preoccupied with preparations for the NGO's launch the following week.
She inquired about the interview at the reception desk.
"How may I assist you, Miss?" a very busy receptionist asked, not looking up from her papers.
