KABHI JO BADAL BARSE

Chapter 3

पल एक पल में ही थम सा गया
तू हाथ में हाथ जो दे गया
चलूँ मैं, जहाँ जाए तू
दाएँ मैं तेरे, बाएँ तू
हूँ रुत मैं, हवाएँ तू, साथिया
हँसूँ मैं जब गाए तू
रोऊँ मैं, मुरझाए तू
भीगूँ मैं, बरसाए तू, साथिया

Ruhanika’s POV

I strolled around the whole shop. Today we are preparing to open a new outlet of Flora Fashions. As our sales are increasing and there are many people who want to buy from us but the distance is a major factor which is making a problem. We have online services but many people find it expensive and difficult to trust. I checked each and every thing from top to bottom. The latest collections were kept just near the entrance and other works of great art were kept over the whole shop. Flora is not just for women but also men. We focus on reviving old cultures with a mixture of modern touch to it. We have everything from modern to old culture here. I walked through every corner checking out everything and looking if everything was looking perfect or not. The decorations were made with simple fairy lights and some decorative flowers and leaves. A 3d logo of our brand was in the middle of the room. As I made my way to the first floor the first thing I noticed were my designs. My designs are of two types, some are exclusively complex and detailed while others are simple yet elegant. First there were all sarees with a lot of stones and thread embroidery and then sherwani and kurtas with similar designs. I love to experiment with Indian outfits with colours and different styles so my most unique works are mostly done in Indian outfits.Then comes my beautiful simple dresses and sarees which are mostly in shades of pastel and nude colours. There were simple modern party wear and office wear for both men and women. Now the best part. The spotlight and our new release. Designed by me, Namrita and Drishti mam. We thought of combining Indian work and colours with western type dresses. So we made short knee length dresses , coats, vests and even those beautiful office wear that had a western structure but was designed and embroidered with Indian colours and works of golden and silver  threads with lots of stones and zari work. This was an experiment but people liked it so much we finally made the decision to start selling them. Flora fashions are holding a lot of fashion shows and other programs to not only show our collection and designs but it is an effective way to advertise. The inauguration is a few days later but I came to see if everything was alright or not. I hopped in my car and made my way to Namrita and Drishti Mam's house as they had invited me for a little tea party. Only three of us. We are more like friends than working partners. We share a different bond with each other. I was excited to see Mr Hottie CEO Malhotra. ( Talking about Roshan). I still remember on the first day after my interview what I did.

Flashback**

Namrita and Drishti were sitting inside a room . The tension outside the room where the candidates were waiting for their turn was fearsome. Everyone was nervous as the ones who went inside didn't even stay for 5 minutes and came back and no one was selected then when someone called Ruhanika’s name. She took a deep breath and went inside confidently though she was nervous from inside.

“ Mam may I come in,” she asked, seeking permission from the two elderly women sitting there. They nodded and Ruhanika kept standing near them.

“ Why are you standing, Miss Shekhawat?” Namrita asked

“Mam cause you didn't give me the permission to sit and if I sit without you permission it will be a very bad gesture” she said whatever was true and she was really feeling.

“ You may have a seat,” Drishti said . Ruhanika said thank you and took the chair in front of them.

“ So as you saw there were many people but none of them replied correctly to the first question only. What made you think that you can do it? Cause I saw you coming and you had quite a confident posture” Namrita asked with seriousness.
