THE GIRL WITH A WISH

CHAPTER 4

I couldn't get over Ajay as I loved him so deeply and truly. The change of city didn't help me either. But I tried to pull myself every time as I tried to forget him but his voice was heard in my mind and the memories which we cherished flashed often... My heart broke completely but I pulled myself up every single time

Weeks passed,

One day as I was walking towards the streets of Bombay I met Malhar Desai sir. I was Happy to see him. I went up to him and greeted him and he was so excited and Happy to meet me too. We started talking and we entered a cafe to have a long chat because it's been days since we  last met . We started talking about many things that's when he asked me how my job was going. I said to him I resigned long back due to problems with the new boss. But didn't state the real reason and he looked at me and said it's good to move out of something which is stopping you to achieve something in life.

I knew he tried to tell something indirectly. I asked him what was his reason  to quit the job . He looked sharp in my eyes and said I'm almost 52, I always wandered looking for something new and for my wishes to come true. But none of which didn't happen at all. I searched for inner peace and joy from others for the work I did which didn't help me either. So I decided to quit the job and to start live for myself and not for anyone else. That's the real reason behind for me to leave  the job. He also stated that his wife moved along with him and now they are running a small nursery School and living their life of them and not for anyone else. We left the the cafe and before we could leave he said to me, Don't let anything pull yourself down. Live for yourself and not for anyone but for you

That kept me thinking for a while. That's when I decided to do something rather than dwelling over my past life. I returned home. My new apartment in Bombay was a much comfortable one and I rented it for a less cost. That night I kept thinking about malhar sir's  words. I decided to live life for me. As I was wondering what I would do to get me over Ajay that's when I met sara Khan. Sara lived in the next street I met her one day on my way to the market. She is one of the high tech person in town her knowledge on websites and other stuffs were really fascinating. I invited sara over and spoke to her about my new business and I asked her to help me with the websites and other online stuffs. She was also interested in it and accepted my offer immediately.

Yes, I finally  decided to live my life for myself and soon I'm gonna open online cake baker's shop. As I was good at baking and  which eventually  faded with my marketing job, but still I had a seed of it. I came up with this idea and invested my rest on my savings in this. I opened my websites first few weeks of the business were very dull. As I would get less orders and sometimes none.

But after few weeks my business saw  great development. Orders came from in and around Bombay for weddings, birthday parties, for anniversaries and what not.. Online is a Great way to reach out to people which indeed boosted my business to a great extent.

I was head over heels Happy as my business developed fast. Soon after few months I decided to open a shop next to my house. I saw a small place down the street and had asked about it to the owner and mr. Ramalal agreed for it and rented us the shop. Sara helped me with the interior work. It was a train themed cake shop. Soon after we shifted from online to real market our business saw a great pick up. In the mornings it was crowded by tourists as it was the heart of Bombay, in the evening by School and college students and during the nights by the couples. 

During my Business time I totally got over Ajay and was living a life of my own and no other second thoughts distracted me .  But as soon as I got over him. He appeared before me again
