TJL#14# She Is The One

When You Try It

Diya's POV

" Wow!!!" Aradhya told after listening everything.

" Kya wow!!!" (What wow?) I asked her.

" He took you to there. How cute!!"  She said.

" Cute nahi, hum buss Kam ki baat hi ker rahey thay, tu phir sai shuru maat ho jaana). I told her. (Nothing cute. We talked about work. Don't start over again.)

" Maine bola na k tumhare boss, he loves you." (I said that your boss loves you.) She said.

" Haan tune bola or Maine maan liya." (Yeah, like I will believe you.) I said.

" Yahi, saach hai." She said.(This is the truth only)

" No, it's not." I said. " Your bus came." I said and she jumped into the bus. I sighed. What a girl." Apna khayaal rakhna." (Take care of yourself) I said to her.

"  Jaroor, Dee." (Of course, Dee) she said. " Or tum apni boss ki bhi khayal rakhna, after all he loves you." (And you take care of your boss too) she shouted at me today as well. I sighed.  People were looking at me today again. I quickly walked passed them. They must be thinking we both are mad. I got in the bus and I sat in near to the window. I love seeing the lovely views outside.

" Excuse me." Suddenly I heard someone saying and I turned. I found a guy of his early 30. He was smiling at me.

" Yes?" I said and he pointed at my bag which I put on the seat next to me.

" Oh, so sorry." I said and took my bag. He sat next to me.

" It's ok. I am Philip." He said.

" Diya." I said.

" What a lovely name!!" He said.

" Thank you, Philip." I said.

" I having guessing that you are not native." He asked me.

" I am Indian. I am working here and studying further." I said.

" That's lovely. I am a journalist." He said. I just nodded.

" So, you are living far away from your country aren't your family worried about you?! After all a beautiful girl you are." He said and I chuckled.

" No, they are not worried. I made it sure that they can trust me. I assured them that nothing bad will happen to me. Besides, my parents gave me all the freedom and asked to behave like I a responsible girl. I will never let them down." I said.

" That's great." He said. " But sometimes world is not at all so nice to you." He said.

" Life is never ever nice to you. That doesn't mean that we need to be afraid of situation. If you think of accident and never come out of your room you can never enjoy the beautiful world out there. It's your courage which will lead you. I agree there will be a lot of danger there will be obstacles and problems moreover for a girl. But if I hold that and stay that home it won't change the thinking. If I need to change the world I need to change my vision at first. I am girl doesn't mean I am weaker sex. I don't believe such stupid thing." I said.

" That's right. I am glad that you think like that. Actually, you are right, if we want a change we have to change us first then the world." He said.

" Not always a girl is wrong and I won't be saying men are always at fault but still thinking girls as a weaker sex making things mess. You still can see domestic violence around. It won't stop until you make a change of your views. If you are strong that doesn't mean you have to show it on others that the symbol of the weakest personality. In my views if someone is strong and powerful he should help others that is how he can be the better human being." I said.

" Your words were so strong. I respect your views, Diya. If we need to have a beautiful world for our next generation we have to change our today. Only then we will be able to make our tomorrow." He said.

" That's true you said." I said.

" I am really glad that I meet a girl like you who is strong and independent. I really like your views may be some day world will change and we will have a secure place for our next generation." He said.

" Only can hope that." I said.

" Same here. I also am thinking about that." He said. " Though I wanted to talk with you some more time but it's my stoppage. I might go now." He said.

" Ok, Philip. Bye then." I said.

" Bye. See you soon." He said.

" May be, may be not." I said.

" If you are regular in this bus then we will meet again tomorrow." He said.

" Yeah, sure then. Bye." I said and he got down waving at me.

I got down at my stoppage and walked towards my office. I really love working here. I entered the lift and was waiting for it to close. Soon I reached my floor and got down. I saw a little crowd there.

" What happened, Mia?" I asked Mia.

" Bianca lost her sketch that she sketched yesterday." She said and I was shocked. I mean her sketch was really very nice. If she couldn't find it out it will be very bad. She will be very sad. Others were just mocking her for being irresponsible. Stupid people. You guys need to help her. Should I help her!!??

You should, Diya. May be she doesn't like you but her sketch is important to her. What if yours were lost?!! Feel it. How would you feel!?? Alright. I decided to help her.

" Bianca?" I called her.

" What!!!" She yelled at me. I can understand that. She is pissed.

" Let's search for it together." I said and she looked at me disbelief.

" I don't need your help." She said. I smiled.

" You just sit there. Your brain is not working properly. I am searching it for you. I am sure you left it here. Don't worry. We will find it out before Mr. Axton reaches. Then you can show that to him." I said and started to search for it. After 15 minutes Mia finally find out the sketch was under the carpet. How did it reach there!!!

"  There you go girl. Your sketch." Mia said. Bianca just was speechless. She almost cried. I can feel that.

" Thank you, Mia." She said." And thank you too, Diya." She said. I nodded and smiled. She smiled looking at her sketch.

Well, making someone smile a pure and divine feeling. You can feel it when you try it.
