He was surprised. He had read the name (Dhriti Ranjan) on the CV several times. He thought he was dreaming. Why did their destiny bring them together when they had parted ways long back? God and his work! He was the one who separated them and now he was bringing back again.
Maybe she was not the one. Maybe his mind was playing games. Maybe they weren't meant to be together. He felt disheartened. Why? She was the one who dumped him. But still he loved her though there were many layers of hatred that hid his love for her.
Tiny drops fell on Dhriti's face. She was waiting for the bus. It was about to rain. Nothing was unusual about the city's weather. It had different moods for different parts of the day just like her. Morning would cool and pleasant. Afternoon would be hot like summer. Evening and nights would have pouring rainfall. But sometimes the cycles wouldn't be same.
Right now it was about to pour. She prayed that it rained after she had reached on time for interview. She didn't want to get wet at this time. She had made sure that she looked very professional in her dark cotton sari with 3/4th sleeve blouse. Her hair was tied back into a bun. She wore black bindi and kajal. She didn't apply any make up.
She wore tiny earrings and small necklace after her mother forced her to wear. She had prepared herself from past few days since she had applied for the job. She wanted this job badly. She didn't have enough to support her family and especially her daughter.
At last her prayers were heard. She got inside the bus. She took first seat which was empty. As soon as she paid the ticket, she got engrossed about the worries in her life. She had many things to take care and one of them was meeting her daughter's needs.
