MINE

Part 1 - Celebration

KHUSHI

"This calls for a celebration." Ananya said excitedly as she held the contract in her hand and jumped up and down like she had won a lottery, it was none less than a lottery because after struggling for so many years she finally got her big modelling contract.

I just smiled staring at her, Ananya and I were friends since I shifted to Mumbai six years back to start my career in the fashion industry as a model and although I struggled a bit in the beginning, the journey hadn't been as difficult as it had been for her, until today she was just struggling with small stuff while I was touching the sky.

I would say I was lucky because I dint have to face a lot of trouble like so many girls in this industry did, I hadn't been a part of any sort of casting couch or anything terrible, maybe God knew I had been through a lot earlier in my life so he chose to make at least one thing easy for me.

I was a well-known name in the industry now, I was the top most model and everyone wanted to work with me, so when my career reached at the peak, I decided to buy myself a house, it wasn't big compared to what the other models lived in, but it wasn't small either, it was just a small mansion at the best place in the city, I dint really want a huge mansion or anything because I was the only one going to live in it but then the things we models had to do to just for show off.

So once I was ready to move in, I asked Ananya to come along, she had been my only friend and we were so close, I dint want to lose her or stay away from her and luckily she agreed so it was the two of us living in this house.

"You see, I told you one day I would do this on my own, that's why I never allowed you to help me." She smiled brightly. I stared at her with the same smile plastered on my face while she continued dancing on her own.

Ananya was really gorgeous, she had long brown hair that almost matched the color of her eyes, she was almost as tall as me and I always wondered how she was still struggling, I had even offered to help her in one way or the other but she refused and said she was going to work hard and earn it and today she actually did and I guess it was the power of her hard work and her beauty, I mean this girl was absolutely beautiful for heaven sake! Who wouldn't anybody want her as a model?

"I am glad you did, come we'll go to the most happening club tonight and dance like there's no tomorrow." I suggested, I was really happy for her, finally after struggling so much she had got a chance, and I wanted to make this day memorable for her, I mean what are friends for after all.

"Sounds like a plan, let's get ready and leave in half an hour?" she asked excitedly.

"Sounds good." I smiled as we both headed to our specific rooms to get ready, I was so happy for her, she was getting her due finally after all the struggle she had been through.

I stood in front of my cupboard and looked at hundreds of dresses that were hanging there, it was always difficult to decide what to wear when you had a lot of options or half of the times you had a stylist deciding everything for you.

After standing in front of it for over five minutes I finally decided to go with a white dress, it was a one shoulder mini dress, and it fit me really well, it was perfect for clubbing.

I changed into it and grabbed a pair of matching heels and did my makeup and left my hair open hanging to my waist in loose curls, as I walked to the hall I found Ananya seated on the sofa waiting for me, I don't know how she always managed to get ready so quickly, it took me ages to just get into the right dress.

"Ready?" She smiled at me excitedly, she was dressed in a beautiful red dress and heels, her hair was straightened and left open, she looked absolutely gorgeous.
