SAUMYA'S POV CONTINUES

I cried until tears stopped coming out of my eyes. I checked the time to see that it has already been 15 minutes and di must still be waiting for me. I quickly went to my locker to grab some makeup, which I carry for emergencies like this one for example and I saw a pink note which read:

Everything will be ok. Don't worry.

From yours,

Stranger.

I just looked at the pink note and then threw it away thinking someone might be playing a prank on me. Then grabbing the make up I went to the toilet and covered the black circle that was on my face as well as some signs of me crying. I ran to see that di was calling out a name, which didn't ring any bell to me. Di then went back to her thinking mode. Since her back was facing me she couldn't see me, which made me do a prank on her.

Saumya (comes from behind) - Hi di

Khushi (startled) - Hi Saumya, where have you been? It's already 8: 30 and I have to go to AR by 9.

Saumya (sad but trying to smile) - Di, I couldn't find Reyaan, but di you should go to the job. Don't want you to be late.

I know that di must know I am sad but this time, I can't tell her the real reason as I don't want to burden her more with my secrets.

Khushi's POV

Thankfully I arrived at the office within 20 minutes and that meant that I was 10 minutes early. I parked my car in the parking lot and I stood with my mouth hung open.

The building is so BIG, this is the tallest building I have ever seen. In fact, it is the tallest building in the area. This made me think about the stranger that rescued me. I feel so guilty for arguing with him and not being able to thank him for saving my life. I started slowly going inside the office and as soon as I entered inside the office my heartbeat started rising as if someone close to me is in this office. I walked up to the receptionist who was busy playing candy crush on her phone. Not having any choice I fake coughed to get her attention but she just stared at me and then went back to her stupid game.

Khushi (angry)- Excuse me, can you help me?

Receptionist (still on her phone) - (looks up) Look ms, whoever you are, the boss doesn't need any workers right now, so just leave...(goes back to playing on the phone) DAMN you made me loose (looking up and pointing to door) LEAVE!!!

I am more stunned then shocked, how could someone be so rude? Especially to a guest. I didn't have the guts to stand up for myself and that's why I ran while crying to my car. I stood for a good five minutes crying near my car. I don't know why but I couldn't bear the pain of getting rejected even though it wasn't my fault. 

As I was crying a lady or maybe the receptionist came towards me with a sad and angry face.

Receptionist (trying to smile) - Congratulations you are hired and btw you left your purse in there.

Khushi (stopped crying) - Wait.... What?... How do you know ... what I came for? And how am I hired?

Receptionist (fake smiling) - I am sorry but your appointment letter was on the table with the purse..and I am so s.... (taking a deep breath) sorry for talking to you like that and you have to join from tomorrow. So see you ... tomorrow and here is your appointment letter.

Khushi (taking the letter while her head is hung low) - but... what made you change your mind?

I was expecting her to answer my question, I looked up to see her gone and I was lonely in the car park. Since I didn't get an answer I just left to pick up Saumya from school and find out about why she is upset.
