"I feel so horrible about me..." Pooja said with a dejected look, while she and Zoya were sitting at the office canteen.
"Why do you feel that way, Pooja??" Zoya asked, wiping her tears and looking at Pooja with a smile.
"I mean...I should have been with you after school too...I shouldn't have left your side only. Due to dad's sudden transfer to Delhi, I had to relocate...and I totally lost touch with you..." Pooja said holding Zoya's hand on the table, "And see now...you had been suffering all alone in this huge city...and I am coming to know all stories like some third person."
"Pooja, there's nothing for you to feel guilty about..." Zoya said holding Pooja's hands, "I am happy, at least now we met...you know, when I came to this office, I was feeling so nervous and scared...new city, new office, new job...how am I going to tackle all this. But Allah has sent you to me...I feel strong now...happy that my dearest friend is there with me now."
Pooja smiled as she assured, "Definitely!! This was a sign of the universe...otherwise, just imagine...why would we meet all of a sudden in Mumbai like this...in the same office...after so many years?? My sudden transfer from Delhi...like I always say...maybe...a call of destiny!"
Zoya nodded her head with a smile, while Pooja said, "Now you wait and see...how Pooja brings back the old bubbly Chanchan Zoya...I will lighten up your life again!!"
Just then Pooja's phone rang, and Pooja said happily, "See...what a good sign!!" Zoya smiled listening to it.
She looked at the phone and said, "Ohhh...Adi...Well, Zoya, excuse me...you go to your seat. I will come now."
Zoya left the canteen and walked to her place, while Pooja picked up the phone, "Yes Mr. Hooda...Pooja Sharma speaking from Mumbai!"
"Great...you came to Mumbai, and I have to call and enquire if you reached...can't you at least drop me a message, yaar??" Aditya asked, as he sat at a chair in the canteen.
"Sorry yaar Adi...I reached Mumbai, came directly to office and..." Pooja looked at Zoya in her seat and quickly had an idea, "Wait...we had a dinner plan at home tonight yeah...let's cancel that...and meet at a hotel...what say??"
"Hotel?? Oyeee...what are your intentions??" Aditya asked with a horrified expression.
"Shut up Adi!! I am bringing a girl with me."
"This sounds even vulgar...Pooja are you okay?? Guess you got spoiled a lot in this one year break...what are you speaking about?? Dirty girl!!"
"Adii!!! Do I look like that to you?? Yaar I meant...a friend of mine...I want her to meet you guys...she is my childhood bestie...she is all alone here, and I thought she would feel good meeting you and Arjun too..."
"Ohhh...okay...no issues...should I book a table or...??"
"No need...I will book a table, and tell you which hotel...inform Arjun too...come with him, okay??"
"Okay!! Bye!" Aditya cut the call, and said to himself, "This is definitely Pooja's usual stunt...some silly friend she will bring, and will try to hook her up with me...God, this girl is so jobless...!!"
***
It was night and Zoya reached home, while Pooja too entered inside with her bags.
"Woww!! Beautiful flat Zoya!!" Pooja looked around, while she said, "Zoya, I agreed to stay with you only on the condition that I will pay you my rent, as any sharing tenant would."
"Okay I know..." Zoya said, while she added, "Thank you Pooja...I still can't explain how happy I am to have you here...I was feeling so lonely and dejected... Asha was my only friend here...but she is busy with her studies and can't visit me often...now that you are here, I am glad!!"
