Six months later..............

"Sam, I need those copies on my desk...NOW!!" Yelled Carrie, my Manager.

When My life got back to go normal after completing my masters, I begun working as copy editor for publishing company. Since I started working, I actually begun to question my sanity..i wonder if it was crazy to work as copy editor in Smith publications.

I quickly finished my correction and sent file to Carrie's cabin..i was off towards the Mr. Greg Crane's office , the president and CEO of Smith publications. I got a call before an hour for meeting with him in his office and I didn't have any idea about what it was. Mr Crane had a little issue with his temper, he never tolerate any mistake..

I rode the elevator up stair the top floor, and when the door open I was greeted by his personal assistant , BJ..He was cool guy...And He knew everything going on building...Quite a reporter guy by nature..

"Hey, Sammy, ready for meeting with Mr. C?" he asked me while he was busy writing down on the PC

"I would be more ready if I had clue what he wanted to talk to me...Do you have any idea?"

" Secrecy Matters...But I have sworn to someone apart from Mr. C not to tell you about this on before hand...." He said still busy writing something

"is that Armaan who make you sworn?" I asked

"Yeah....he told me if I told you anything he would personally tell Mr C to eliminate me from my place..." he said

Armaan helped me a lot for getting this job. He was working as editor of romance department. He totally loved this job. His office on two floor higher to mine so he could always came downstairs visit me. Armaan was in good terms with Mr Crane. So he could do anything he wanted.

"I guess there is surprise waiting for me then???"

"Yes..and trust me..you won't get mad at Armaan..he really loves you very much..."

BJ's comment made me littke bit worried..what had Armaan done? Oh God, pls don't let this meeting to tell me to find another job

It was then BJ's desk phone ring and told him that to send me in

I looked over to BJ and he gave me encouraging smile as I walked towards the door. Turning the knob I said silent prayer to Ganesha.

"Can I come in Sir?" I asked as slightly opening the door...

" Yess....Please be seated" He said and I entered in and sat in front of him

"Miss Khanna, when were you going to tell me that you could write?"

" Sir??" I asked confused

" I was talking with Armaan and he told me that you spend your most of the time in writing at home and I was shocked since you never mentioned it. He also told me that you have dream of being an author too...."

"it's only dream , Sir. Not reality..And I am not that good..." I said sadly

" I don't think so...."

He pulled out a folder with my name on it and when I flipped it open and there laid my story on which I was currently working on for the few last years..

"Sam, this story is amazing . honestly , its powerful...it deserves to be finished and published..."

I sat there was in shock of what he was saying . I was dreaming or what...if it was dream then please no one dare to wake me up.

"Mr Crane??"

"Miss Khnnaa, would you interested in completeing this story and Smith publishing being its publisher?"

When he asked millions thoughts flooded my mind. The idea of getting chance to live my dream was beyond my imagination. It couldn't be real..i just continued looking at my boss , without uttering a word.

"Samaira?"

I blinked trying to bring myself back in reality

"Is this because Armaan asked you to do this?"

" he just asked me to read some new talent and he actually hide that it was written by you..Sam, it wouldn't matter who suggested me..your work is wonderful and I wanted you to be one of our new writer. So, what do you think? Do you wanted to stay as copy editor or do you wanted to know the world what you can do?"

And I responded quickly

"if you wanted me to write..i will..."

I shook his hand and quickly signed the paperwork related to it.

"Clean out your desk, Sam...work from home now..." he said with smile as he led me to the door

When he closed door, I was met by smiling face of BJ

"Congratulations Miss Khanna..you are now soon to be author...." He said with smile

He grabbed me and we both were jumping and squealing. Many people were passing us giving us weird look for dancing in front of Boss's office.

" Can I join in this happiness?"

I turned to see Armaan standing behind me, leaning on counter and giving me his best smile...I ran in to his arm and was enveloped by strong embrace. I wasn't that affectionate in public but this was exceptional moment.

" I should kill you for this..you know..." I whispered when I pulled away from him for a moment

"you love me...and you would miss me if you kill me...." He said playfully

I hugged him close again before pulling back from him.

" Got to go to Carrie's cabin to tell him this...." I said it with smile.

He chuckled as he released me and I headed downstairs. After completing all formalities, I grabbed my belongings to go home , when my phone rang..

"Hello......" my voice was full of music

"someone seems very happy......"

"Yes..I am..Radz..happier than I have ever been...."

"Well..then I add to your happiness...."

"then add darling...."

"Arjun asked me to marry him....."

The sequel come from the other end made me too squealing and dancing..

"Oh my god..Congratulation...when?"

"today at dinner date...I told him that I have to inform you as soon as ring rested in my finger...."

" I bet he laughed at you.....

"Oh, Sam...anyway..you have to come one month before for my wedding...."

That was I know that would be coming..going back to Goa still scared me.i kept mum..

"Radz...you know that I would only want you to be with me...please..pretty please....sugar on top...."

I looked around at my office for a moment before answering..

"okay..Radz ..for you..i will be there..."

She squealed again, causing me to pull my phone away from my ear..

"I love you Sam...I will call you with more info...later...byeee..."

The line went dead and I put my phone on desk, I couldn't help but to smile...I was getting my dream come true and my best friend getting married..What a lucky day!!

I stopped for a moment when this news enlighten me with side effect of it...Neil....He gonna be there..

My thoughts started to run at the rate of bullet train..Neil going to be in wedding...I hadn't seen him in forever and I have to face him if I was going to be in wedding.

I promised myself that I wouldn't go back to Goa but I had to go, after all it was best friend's wedding...I could change my mind..i would tell her that I will busy in writing my story..but I couldn't do that to her...she came here too many times for me and was there with me always..

Sighing, I sat on my chair in office and continued stare out of window..i thought I would stay hide from him forever..but now I couldn't see any option but to face him.

Questions flooded my mind..how would he react now we gonna see each other after so three years? Would he recognize me? Would he hate me for what I had done? I ran away from him without a word. I was coward...would it look weird he with Manya and me with Armaan? I hold my head in frustration. My happy mood turned into gloomy now..

There was saying " you couldn't run away from your past"...I had to face my past..mostly I had to face that man who had been occupied most of the part of my life...I had to show him..that..i moved on..

One month later....

I was sitting at my desk working through some chapters of my story that Mr crane wanted to see on his desk when my cell phone rang

" Samaira Khanna here...."

"You are so professional Now..."

Just then I pulled my phone away from my ear and saw the caller id..it was Sid

"Yess Sid...It tends to happen when you have job..."

"I guess so...so when you are coming for wedding?"

I sat in silence for a while. I really didn't want to think about it..

"unfortunately soon...."I mumbled

"Aww..c'mon Sammy..you know that you are excited to see everyone..especially Me..."

"I wonder who is more excited to see me you or Radz...you realize your beautiful wife might get upset as you are flirting with me...." I said jokingly

" I doubt it...she is more excited to see you...."

Sighing. I felt relived that I wasn't going alone to Goa..my two college friends were joining me, Jenny and Lyra. Armaan would going to come day before the wedding with Kriti. He had some work in his department and Kriti too had her college.

Lucky for me, that mom never sold our house in Goa...So I could stay there..trio, radz, arjun nad sid were making it to livable..

"We will be leaving tommarrow.."

"Great.i can't wait..."

It was then one question peeped in my head

"Sid, what was Neil's reaction about me coming there??"

The line went quite..i felt that I was holding my breath too..

"Sidddd...."

"he doesn't know yet....he thinks that you refused to come to marriage..."

"YOU ARE TELLING ME THAT HE HAS NO IDEA ABOUT MY COMING?"

"Radz thought that I would be better to let him find out after you got here...plus with psychic fiancé of his....." I cut him off

"It's okay Sid..I'm sorry that I just freaked out..." I said but I wanted to thrpttle Radz neck by my very own hand for this suspense she kept..

"Worry not Sammy..we will be there with you...I got to run..my wife is yelling..see you soon...bye..."

"Bye Sid..." I laughed

But the only thought of back in Goa making me dread

Two days later......

The captains voice on intercom broke that we were going to land soon, broke my sleep. My worries quickly returned and my heart started to bit irrationally.

" so how you feeling being back in your home town?" jenny asked, I guess she read my worry

"Nervous I guess..i never thought I would return back..."

"its okay Sammy...who cares if your crush is there and engaged with some evil bitch..you have wonderful boyfriend and you soon going to be published author..how could be better than it for you?/"

"I guess you are right, Jenny...so get going guys we are finally in my country..." I chuckled

We claimed our luggage and left the airport . we were going to stay in dabolium for tonight as I wasn't ready to face him..Neil..

"So, Sam we are going out tonight? I mean we should totally go out for drinks..you need to get relax plus you need to show us Goa's night life...as it is one of the most famous place in india.."

Though i brought up in Goa I wasn't much close to clubbing and outing but for my two friends I had to do it...

"Fine..let first get checked in to Hotel..then we will go out for dinner and drinks..." I replied and got into cab

As we got in to hotel room , I informed Radhika that I would be there in Panji tommarrow afternoon..

As both girls came out being already for night out and they found me sitting on couch still in the same cloths, I saw glimmer of mischief dancing in their eyes..

"you aren't ready yet, Sam?" said lyra

"I was just talking to Radz..sorry..."

Lyra grabbed my hand and pushed me into bathroom with robe in my hand...and then again I was pulling out from bathroom and in no time them made my hair curl with tong and applied light make up with baby pink lip gloss. Jenny pulled a dress from my suitcase and they forced me to wear it..

When I stepped out of the bathroom, I didn't look like myself but someone else..Like someone, who could made any guy fall at her feet and beg for her attention. She was more confident than me...but I loved it being a different girl...I wanted to be that girl, atleast for tonight..i wanted to live my life in that one night where no one going to judge me, criticize me..Especially since no one know that Nerd Sam in this city...I could be any one I wanted and I wanted this..atleast for tonight...

Sam's outfit and makeup

"Damn girl, you will have guys at your feet tonight..thank god your possessive boyfriend aren't around or we would have to be bailing him from police station for kicking butt of the guys that led eyes on you...." Stated Jenny when she saw me..

" Let's go my girls...." Lyra squealed in excitement

The Casino Royale

We didn't take a cab. We just walked down the streets. As we stood infront club Casino Royal, girls jumped in excitement just because of it's name behind the name of James bond's movie...

As we got in, the place was that could have seen in the movies of 1920's. The atmosphere was similar too. The bar was situated in the middle of the club. We found table not far from the bar table and Jenny quickly went to the bar to get us drinks. As our drinks arrived, we heard the announcement regarding a show in which they inviting people to sing..

"You should sing something, Sam..."

I turned to look at Lyra, she was seriously demanding me to sing..

"I don't think Lyra..i cant sing...I'm a bathroom singer.... not more than that.,..."

" I will sing..if you do...." She said to tempt me..

" okay..you go first..which song you gonaa sing...." I asked

"Please don't find another love...." She said with confidence

"Oyeehoyee..classic one...from endless love...."

"C'mon Sammy..Be bold..do something crazy...you just with us...no one here who know you..have a moment of fun...." Teased Jenny

I sat there..i wanted to be that confident girl who have world falling on her feet..but when that moment come I found out it difficult..Jenny was right...I didn't know any one here except my two crzy friends..so why not?

"Okay..but plz don't make fun of me later..."

"Never ever...."they both yelled in unison

I followed after Lyra..she told the Dj about the song when I kept flipping for good song from my phone..and I got that song that I had listened and fell in love with..i told it to DJ

Sitting back, we waited for our turn..meanwhile we enjoyed other people singing..rather some where making fun of themselves...It was really fun...but something told me that this moment gonna changed me life..but how it could change it...

--------------------------------------------------------------------
