I'm worthy enough!!! (#Wattys2015)

A new beginning...

I want to go for the interview. I texted Ali.

Wait.
Just a simple text and after 15 minutes he was there at my doorstep. Woah! How did he do that always!
Are you the most free person on earth ? I exclaimed.

Excuse me ? Madam FYI I'm THE MOST BUSIEST PERSON ON EARTH ! But since I've promised I'll be there for you so no worries! He replied back with the same zeal and inside I felt guilty once again.

Whatttt??? Why this face Bunny??? Don't feel bad about anything. We're friends and there's nothing of the past that makes me feel bad about anything you said or did to me. I know you're right. But I'm sure Khalid would mind something .

I was still amazed at his mind reading abilities when he surprised me by mentioning some guy Khalid and his disliking .
Uff Dumbo! Khalid is the school owner and of course he won't appreciate an applicant dressed up in pink pyjamas and a huge T-shirt in which two people could fit in at the same time and to top it a big green dupatta! Wow. You must be dreaming Hawaii with all those colours, ain't you ? He kept on saying all this in one go.

Punctuate Mr.Ali punctuate! I don't care what you thunk about these colours and my huge T-shirt and how may people could fit in or anything else or whatever. I feel comfortable in them and I'm perfectly OK with it. Now if you'll excuse me for fifteen minutes, I could dress up for a formal occasion and let you have the honour of seeing me like that. So shall I ? I asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Well ...if that's the case ...let's see how Mrs.Zafar dresses up."He answered back bowing a little making me laugh and I just couldn't stop myself from punching him slightly on his shoulder. He made a fake painful expression and I left him waiting in the drawing room heading towards my room.

Within fifteen minutes I got myself all ready to go in a light pink straight shirt with blue appliqué on its sleeves and collar. Blue pants and double colored dupatta pumped it all up in a very graceful manner. I had just the perfect deep blue strap peep toes block heels to go along. I covered my head with the dupatta but the bangs kept on hanging loose on sides of my face. A nude gloss and thin line of dark brown eyeliner defining the hazel color of my pupils even more and lashes curled and volumised by mascara added a 'all perfect' look to my persona.

I informed Amma in her room about the interview and with her agreement I left for the school with Ali.

Ali on the other hand opened his mouth to say something when he saw me and then just turned around picking up his keys with a poker face. I was amazed at this strange behavior.
Five minutes passed.
I could take it no more.
I asked in an irritated manner,"Whattt ????"
He simply smiled and still kept the silence eating me all up.
"Ali what's wrong? What happened to your punctuation less tongue ? " I said in raised tone.
"Oh my God! Why are you girls always so hungry for compliments ? I know you look nice but why do you want to hear it from me?" He said with a wide grin.
"Shut up ! Like I really care about your compliment ! I was just curious because of sudden lost of your ridiculous tongue which should have really been lost I wish now."I rolled my eyes while saying all this rudely.
"Awwww cmon now Bunny I know you! I was always the first person to tell you how you looked whenever you dressed up for parties in the university." He still teased.
"Well things have changed Mr.Know it all !" I retorted.
This time the smile I loved to see vanished from his face and with stern looks he simply replied," I know. You don't have to mention it all the time. "

I was speechless for a second as I had no intention to hurt him or mean that way.
"I .. I didn't mean .."I tried to explain but he simply raised his hand to stop me from saying Any further.
"Just be confident during the interview and if they ask for a demo class go for it. The joining date and other things can be finalised later. I know you're trying to assess yourself , but I know you can do it. You don't have to prove yourself to me or Anyone in this world. Never look down upon yourself , never! Just be yourself. " He stated all what I needed and once more telling me how much he knew me.
We had reached the school's building.
It was ...huge.
"Mmm...I think 30 more seconds and you'll break the record of letting your lower jaw lying on the floor. " Once I again I was embarrassed and all I could do was to ...roll my eyes. (What else could I do? )
After a general security check and answering some formal questions at the reception we entered a new beginning of my life.
