Bloomfield Avenue, New Jersey....

_______________

In the bustling city of New Jersey when sun was already about to set during the dusk . People where packing there things to return from there respective works and shops were bustling with people.

In the bustling city two woman in their late twenties were sitting at the bus terminal located in the streets of Bloomfield Avenue.

One of them having black and another one with slightly brown hairs. One hair smooth and silky running down to her waist but a knot of rubber band tied in it at the nape of her neck. The others hair tied in a bun her hair Tangled like a nest. A few strands falling here and there from them.

The orange rays of sun were falling on their faces through the windows of bus terminal one of them so engrossed in her work that she didn't realise the small request of the rays who wants to play with her but the other looking continuously on the rays falling on her hand.

"How weird the life is! Isn't it?" Said one of them..

The other looked at her and blinked a few times.

"Are you talking to me?" Other woman asked raising a brow at her..

"I am just blubbering. Don't mind me.." she said.

"What's your name?" She asked sighing...

"Mine?"

"Yeah!!"

"Anika.. and your's?"

"Nice to meet you Anika. I am Shrestha.."

"Nice to meet you too Shrestha!!"

"Did you live here?" Shrestha asked.

"Yeah! I was born here.. dad used to run a business here!!" She said shifting her weight on her hands as she clutched the chair more firmly...

"What do you mean by used to?"

"They died a few years ago and then I used to run it but..."

"But...?"

"But now relatives from my mother's side have captured it and throwed me out from my own house. They have occupied it legally by some illegal methods..." She said and a lone tear escaped her eyes...

"That house and cafe is the only thing that was left to me by my parents now they want it too.." Shrestha sighed again....

"You know Anika. Every end has a new beginning and no matter how dark it is to see. There is definitely a ray that pierces through the dark and get to you..."

"Maybe, there is a hope of light that is created for me but still the wait is enough to make that person give up...
There are many who loses even before the ray got them..."

"I know only a few are able to reach it but... But the only one who holds until than writes their destiny according to them..." Her words were like a light for her..

"Just hold a little your life would definitely brighten again "

"It's easy for you to say!" Anika said... Shrestha looked at her weirdly and chuckled

"You know we judge every person just as how we see them but not everyone knows the depth of their scars..." Anika's eyes drift in Shrestha trying to find something but there was nothing in her eyes...

"Well do you wanna be friends?" Shrestha offered her hand to her..

"I won't mind!!"

"Where are you going next friend?" Shrestha asked
