C3 Chapter-2

Shraddha Kumar

Where is she? Why is she not coming outside? I've been waiting for the past fifteen minutes. And here she comes wearing jeans and a red t-shirt.

“Sorry! Sorry! I woke up late. Sorry” Divya said while coming out of her home.

With this, I started driving my two wheeler towards the cafe.

We entered the cafe. Today also we are late because of her. We are Boss doesn’t mean that we can come late daily.

We have kept a manager for the cafe. He is a very good person and a very kind-hearted man. His name is Srinivas Mithra. We went to our cabin. We both have the same cabin which we use. After fifteen minutes, we went to the outside of the cabin to meet the staff and to help them.

We have four barista/ Pastry Chef who works in the Kitchen Department of a cafe. Two Girls and Two Guys work in a cafe Kitchen. There are two waiters and two waitresses in each Rooftop cafe and Ground floor cafe each. And two Waiters for the outside Open space cafe. One librarian for the library corner.

Every day I and Divya work till 3 in the afternoon in a cafe. Others work till night, sometimes we also stay till the end. After the cafe, we both went to my secret place where I started my music studio. There I write lyrics and sing songs. After that Divya will post it on our website and also on YouTube channel.

If we don’t have Karate classes then we will go to our home at night at seven o’clock. But if we have karate classes then we go at 8 pm.

Today also we were going home at 7 o’clock.

When we were going home we saw an accident where one person got injured and blood flow was heavy but no one was ready to help him.

Then I and Divya helped the person. We were having a two wheeler with us so we couldn’t carry him to the hospital on it. We were trying to stop any cab or car but no one was ready to stop the car. Sometimes I think that nowadays people don’t have humanity.

Then one car stopped in front of us. In the car, there was a Couple. They offered us a lift to take the injured person to the hospital. I and an injured person stepped into the car and Divya was coming on my two wheeler.

On the way to the hospital, the women in the car asked me questions.

“Are you related to him?” She asked me.

I nodded in No.

“Why are you helping the unknown person? About whom you don’t know anything?” She asked.

“When we help other people, God will help us when we are in a problem” I replied.

She smiled, even the man who was her husband also smiled looking at me. She asked me my name. I introduced myself to the couple.

“My name is Shraddha Kumar.” With that, we reached the Hospital.

“Thank you so much uncle-aunty” I thanked the old couple and bid bye to them.

I admitted the person in the hospital and completed all formalities as well as informed his family. Even Divya also came.

After a tiring long day I went home with Divya. I said goodnight to her. She replied with a smile.

I rang the bell of my house. My mom opened the door and stood in shock. She panicked and asked me.

“What happened? Where did you get hurt?”

“Everything is ok and I didn’t get hurt. Relax.” I told her.

And entered the home. Then I told her about the accident and how I helped that person to be admitted in the hospital as well as informed his relatives. So with all this, his blood is transferred on my dress and hands. My mom appreciated me.

“I’m very proud of you kiddo,” she said and kissed my forehead.

With a smile on my face, I went to my room. I took a bath, changed into a t-shirt and pajamas. I went down to eat dinner.

“Hello beautiful people,” I said to Mom and Karthik.

“Hello to you, too ugly girl” Karthik teased me. I showed my tongue to him.

“Mumma, when will dad come?” I asked her. Dad went to Delhi for a business purpose.

“He will come tomorrow.” Told mom.

With smiles and chit-chatting we had our dinner. I said goodnight to my mom. She replied with a smile and kissed my forehead. I also kissed moms cheek. I went to Karthik’s bedroom, pushed the bedroom door to see that he was playing with his PlayStation. I joined him.

“Shall we start?” I asked to take my seat beside him.

“You won’t win this time,” he replied, smirking at me.

“Let’s see,” I replied, hiding my smirk.

I won again making him glare at me and I just gave my famous smirk. We played for some more time and after that, I went to my room saying goodnight to him goodnight and kissed his cheek. He replied grumpily.

I went to my wardrobe, took my diary. I wrote about today's incident and about that sweet couple. I have a habit of writing a diary. I shared all my thoughts, secrets with this diary.

I have a crush on one guy.

He is the man of my dreams. I never got a chance to meet him. I’m a very big admirer of his dancing. I have known him for the last two years. I have seen all his dance performances live as well on the Internet also. Even Divya also doesn't know about my crush on him.

His name is Aaron Malhotra. I’m waiting for that day when I’ll meet him. Everyone in this world has eyes for him but he never showed any interest in them.

Because he is always busy in his own life. He has never been seen with any girl. I just hope he is not a Gay.

“Why are you bothering about him as if you’re marrying him?” My brain mocked me.

“I just have a crush on him,” I replied, smiling at her.

I just can’t take my eyes away from him. He always has this aura around him making me want to look at him. He is the most handsome man on the earth. His eyes spark whenever he smiles.

“He is just a mere crush my stupid brain, nothing else.” I snapped at my dumb brain.

I don’t love him. And he is not going to be my husband. I will love only my future husband, not anyone else. But then why I couldn’t stop thinking about him. What’s there in him that is making me want to think only about him.

Shraddha snaps out of the fantasy world of yours and comes back to reality. I scolded myself. Go away from my thoughts, Mr Aaron Malhotra. I don’t like you coming into my thoughts.

With those thoughts, I drifted off to sleep......
