Sohni Kuddi Namkeen Badi

Chapter 4

Sohni Kuddi
The next day I went with Khushi to the card designer. Seems like she's having big plans for Rudra's birthday. I was so bored. It was two hours and still she wasn't able to select one single card. She was inviting at the most 200 people. I want to see the reaction on Rudra's face when he will be given his grand surprise. From school friends, cousins, family and business associates, she was inviting every single one. She was acting crazy.
' Kyra, you have to come ok? And yeah you have to bring a date. '
She said while looking at a golden brown card.
' why date? ' I enquired. I had no male friends here. Just because she has Rudra, doesn't means she will be so unfair. I love parties. And I don't want to miss it just because I didn't have a date.
' because sweetheart, there will be drinks, and games for couples. That's the theme. If you come alone, you won't be able to enjoy to the fullest. ' she said sweety pinching my cheeks.
I pouted, ' but you know I don't have anyone here. How can you do this to me ' I told her sadly.
' get a Rohan again then ' she winked.
I shuddered at his name. Rohan was a guy in our university who was completely studious. His day started with theories and ended with projects. He used to only speak about elasticity and utility. And the strangest thing about him was, he liked me. Like a lot.
But I always used to maintain my distance, until the time of the year came. It was prom, and I had no one. All the handsome men were taken. And I cannot miss a God Damm Prom just because I didn't have a date.
So exactly one week before prom, I started spending time with him. I actually dated him. It was literally disgusting. But I wanted to go, so I had to do it.
I was so sweet to him, and he was on the top of the world.
' Kii! Don't you wear sleeveless, I don't like it ' he used to say. He used to call me Kii, and I used to burn from inside.
One: I didn't liked him at all.
Two: I hate it when someone shortens my name. It's already so short.
Three: I hate it when someone tells me what to wear and what not to wear. Even my parents never used to comment on my clothes.
But I kept my calm. Thinking that it was just a matter of a week. I never gave him any of my personal details.
After all this, the Prom night was disgusting. When I was greeting everyone by shaking hands, he said ' don't do that! It's just me and only me who can touch you. ' I sighed in frustration, and left the party. After that day, I extremely avoided him like plague. He tried to talk but I ignored.
Until today, he keeps on messaging me on fb, about what's wrong. I have no heart to tell him that I used him. Poor guy. I hope he moves on someday. But no matter what, am not gonna get a Rohan this time. At all. I glared at her and she giggled.
' chill baba! Look at this, isn't this beautiful? ' she asked me while showing me a card that she has finally chosen. It was maroon with gold borders. It looked classy. No matter how long she took to decide but her choice was worth it. I gave her a thumbs up and she grinned. ' Bhaiyaji aise 200 de dijiye ga ' she told the shop keeper and then we proceeded to the payment counter. I was tired. So I directly went towards exit when she dragged me and told me ' itni jaldi kya hai? Abhi tak shopping baki hai ' she said and I groaned. Not more yaar. My legs were aching bad.
And I had already yawned about six times until now. But Khushi was as energetic as ever. This birthday bought new excitement to her. Even though it was not her birthday. She took me to a saree store. ' Saree? ' I asked confused.
' yes! That's the dress code. Black Saree. Common now, let's get you the best one. ' she said while looking at various Sarees in black. All of them were too good. Only if I could purchase the whole darn stock. She took a few for me and her and we went for trial. The first one was full sleeves blouse and plain black Saree with embroidery. It was good. I came out to show her and she came to show me. The one she wored was too revealing. She looked hot but she wasn't comfortable. She appreciated mine one. And we went for another round of change. Mine next was a net saree, it had a deep neckline, and sleeveless blouse. I imagined Khushi in it, and felt that this will suit her more than it does to my body type. I immediately went out to tell her to try it when I saw her in a strapless blouse and satin black saree. It was marvellous. I loved it a lot. ' I think Kyra, this will suit you better than me ' she told me while checking herself out in the mirror. ' I thought ditto about this one ' I told her and we giggled like silly girls. We bought both of those for each other and then left.
' Saree toh le li Khushi, lekin koi date ni mila toh Saree ka kya matlab? ' I said sadly.
' Don't worry dear, mil hi jayega koi changa munda ' she smiled.
As soon as I reached home and bid goodbye to my dear friend, Alia came running towards me ' Di! Guess what? You got a job. A letter arrieved just a few moments ago. You are appointed to " The K Sales " can you believe it? It's the top most company Di. Am so glad. Pari works there too. Congratulations di ' and she hugged me tight.
Although I was happy to see her happy, but I was confused. I never applied to K Sales. Maybe there's some mistake in delivering the letter. I went inside to read the letter.
