Chapter 36: Unexpected Ride and a New Beginning

The next day, Akshara goes to Birla Hospital for her interview for the music therapist job. As she steps into the interview room, she is greeted warmly by the panel. The interview goes smoothly, and Akshara feels positive about it.

In the hospital’s office

Interviewer: "Toh Akshara, tumhe music therapy ka experience kitna hai?"

Akshara: "Sir, music meri life hai. Maine hamesha isse apne emotions express kiye hain, aur main chahti hoon ki doosre logon ko bhi iski healing power ka ehsaas ho."

Interviewer: "Impressive! Tumhari approach kaafi unique hai. Main dekh sakta hoon ki tum is role ke liye perfect fit ho."

Akshara: "Thank you, Sir. Main apni poori koshish karungi."

Abhimanyu is discussing the new appointment with Mahima.

Mahima: "Abhimanyu, tumhe pata hai? Jo nayi music therapist appoint hui hai, uski awaaz kitni soulful hai!"

Abhimanyu (smirking): "Taiji, awaaz kitni bhi acchi kyun na ho, main ek aisi awaaz jaanta hoon jiska koi mukabla nahi kar sakta. Uske saamne yeh therapist ki awaaz kuch bhi nahi hai."

Mahima (curious): "Achha? Kaun hai yeh?"

Abhimanyu (smiling slightly): "Chhodiye taiji, aap nahi samjhogi."

With that, Abhimanyu leaves, heading towards the parking lot.

OUTSIDE THE HOSPITAL

Akshara is standing outside, waiting for her driver, who is significantly late. Abhimanyu arrives on his bike and notices her.

Akshara (frustrated): "Yeh driver bhi na, hamesha late hota hai. Ab kya karun?"

Abhimanyu: "Tum yahan? Phir se kisi bache ko chot lagi hai kya?"

Akshara (laughing): "Nahi nahi, main yahan apne music therapist ki job ke liye interview dene aayi thi."

Abhimanyu (surprised): "Oh, tumhi ho jiske baare mein taiji baat kar rahi thi? Vaise ab ghar jaa rahi ho?"

Akshara: "Haan, ghar hi jaana hai, lekin yeh driver itna late kar raha hai."

Abhimanyu: "Koi baat nahi, chalo main tumhe drop kar deta hoon."

Akshara (hesitant): "Nahi, nahi... main chali jaungi. Tum kyon takleef loge?"

Abhimanyu (teasing): "Takleef nahi utha raha hoon, ek zimmedar nagarik hone ka farz nibha raha hoon."

Akshara (smiling): "Theek hai, theek hai. Chalo, varna fir se tumhara lamba-chauda bhashan shuru ho jaayega."

Abhimanyu laughs, and Akshara gets on the bike

Abhimanyu (playfully): "Seatbelt pehna? Oh wait, yeh toh bike hai!"

Akshara (giggling): "Very funny, Abhimanyu. Chalo, ab chalo!"

Akshara asks, “So, how was your day?”

Abhimanyu replies, “Busy, as usual. But I’m glad I ran into you. At least I can give you a lift and hear more about your plans.”

Abhimanyu and Akshara are chatting on the way home, both enjoying the conversation.

Abhimanyu: "Tumhare job interview ke baare mein sunke achha laga. Waise, pehli baar bike ride ka experience kaisa laga?"

Akshara (smiling): "Kaafi interesting tha! Tumhare saath bike ride aur bhi zyada mazedar ho gayi."

Abhimanyu pulls up in front of Akshara's house and stops the bike.

Abhimanyu: "Lo, tumhara ghar aa gaya."

Akshara (getting off the bike): "Tum bhi aao na andar. Ek cup coffee ho jaye."

Abhimanyu (shaking his head): "Abhi nahi, lekin shaam ko toh aa hi raha hoon na, Dhanteras par."

Akshara (teasing): "Theek hai, fir shaam ko aana padega, pakka!"

Abhimanyu (grinning): "Pata hai, aise kaise nahi aaunga? Aunty ne jo bulaya hai mujhe!"

Both laugh softly.

Akshara (waving): "Bye, Abhimanyu. Shaam ko milte hain."

Abhimanyu (waving back): "Bye, Akshara. Shaam ka wait rahega!"

Akshara walks into her house, smiling, while Abhimanyu drives off towards his home, both feeling content.

Akshara walks into her house, and her family eagerly gathers around her, curious about how her interview went.

Naira (excitedly): "Akshu, interview kaisa gaya? Sab theek tha na?"

Akshara (smiling): "Mumma, interview bahut achha gaya. Guess what? Main select ho gayi hoon!"

Everyone in the family cheers and congratulates her.

Swarna: "Wah, Akshara! Hum sabko pata tha tum zaroor select ho jaogi!"

Krishna: "Maine toh pehle hi soch liya tha ki tujhe hi select karenge! Congratulations!"

Kartik, who was standing a little apart, rushes forward and hugs Akshara tightly.

Kartik (beaming with pride): "Meri beti ne kar dikhaya! Main sabse zyada khush hoon, Akshu. Tumne apne sapne ko apne dum par paaya hai."

Akshara (emotional): "Thanks, Papa. Aap sabki support ke bina yeh possible nahi hota."

Swarna: "Aaj toh celebration banta hai! Sab kuch special banate hain dinner ke liye."

Naira: "Bilkul! Aaj ka din sirf tumhare liye hoga, Akshu."

Akshara smiles widely, feeling loved and supported by her family as they begin planning a small celebration for her success.
