Shahasra's Pov:-
I'm on my way to apartment, it is gifted to me by my papa, as i was shifting to Seoul and i love this place because this apartment has everything i need, spacious, great kitchen ,splendid view, security, soundproof walls( i love loud music on Sundays), swimming pool, privacy (as i didn't see anyone living in the apartment beside mine) and a perfect space to spend my weekends.
My thoughts were interrupted by ringing tone of my work phone. Shhhhhh..... even though i love my work, i don't like catering my personal time for work as long as it's not very important. I wish my P.A called me for very important work or else she is gonna see my rampant.
Hello
Mam, We got a request from American Embassy's director of external affairs, as he was unable to comprehend about a certain project, they wanna have video conference with as you are the one of those who worked on that project, they requesting it for today if possible.
(oh.. i forgot to mention, I'm one of the directors in Embassy for external affairs and i don't like postponing my work)
Ok, let it be, i will be available with in half an hour.
Ok Mam, i will inform them.
// call ends//
Luckily, I'm near my favorite café, so i parked my car and picked my laptop and one of the clothing bags from trunk(i always carry extra pair of formals, casuals, party wear, shoes in my trunk as it is convenient to change between my schedules and to avoid situations like these).
As i enter the café, i was greeted by the lovely one at the counter, Sofia(owner of the café and my friend here).
Hi sofia
Hi baby, what a surprise at this time? its not your usual time...
(i cut her off)
why? am i not welcomed here at this time? For your information i didn't plan to visit at this time but some unplanned urgent meeting made me come here.
Oh, ok and you are always welcome here and don't forget, who you are to this café.
(oh... i invested in this café, when she needed the investment the most, but i don't always remember that, i don't even care about it, but she is particular about it and she created an account and transfers my share of profit every month)
Ok, Ok. Please get me chocolate milkshake
Ok, but are you sure about the meeting....(questioning looking at my outfit)
(Please ignore the Background)
Uh! that's not a problem Sofia, wait and see.... bring my order fast please I'm craving for it.
Ok.
It's 11 in the morning so the café is not crowded, only few customers. So, i settled at my usual spot and started setting my laptop. As i was in white tank top and cardigan, i removed my cardigan and necklace I'm wearing, i took out my soft pink blazer from the bag and wore it, i tamed my hair into low pony with few strands leaving out to frame my face and I'm done. (As it was video conference only my upper body is enough to be presentable.. you know what I'm saying right). As i was done with fixing my outfit, Sofia came out with my drink and we exchanged some words and the she left as my meeting started.
Finally, after an two hour long talks with two large cups of iced americano, the meeting ended and its almost like an casual meeting because the director from that side one of my juniors from institute, so its actually casual and I'm very hungry. So, i decided to order something to my apartment as i was in no mood to cook. As i was packing my stuff, i got a phone call from my best friend, Srija Suryavanshi
(Srija is a jovial girl, we were friends since birth, our families used to live behind each others and be like a same family, even though both the families shifted to different place but we live in same city, our families are still friends and we grew up to be best friends)
Hey love, how are you?, time god you know I'm alive!
SHAHASRA!!!! Sorry babe busy with the company and Love life.
Oh oh oh... love life is more important than friendship since birth right and the point is that i didn't even have any clue about your love life, NOW spill everything.
Calm down babe, really sorry, let the story be for some other time ok. I have a News for you.
Story for other time and shit, what's the news
I'm engaged
What??????????? and you dared to say it now. what the hell is wrong with you sri?, so you really forgot about me.....
Not like that babe....
(I cut her off in the mid )
OK, fine. I'm not in the mood to talk about anything now, talk to you later.
I cut her call and picked up my bag and let the café. I reached my apartment, I'm in no mood to eat, its not like I'm not happy for her, but at least she should have informed me when she thought of getting engaged. I don't mind even if she dating without my knowledge because i like someone and she doesn't even know about it, but getting engaged is my bottom line, like we were friends from birth, we used share everything from chocolate to clothes, bags to bank cards, every single crush, secret and here she got engaged without informing me. It's not like i oppose her decision, even aunty and uncle didn't spill anything, when i spoke to with a week back, may be I'm not important to them as they are for me, same as the person i love. I started to feel worse remembering him, slowly i got into slumber.
(I may be confident, brave, strong, independent, but there are some people who can make me feel all the emotions I'm foreign to, like my family, srija's family and him. I'm not like this always, some situations made me this way, vulnerable, afraid of new relations)
