"Excuse me..ummm..hello..??? wake up...helloo?" came a voice..it was faint..Ahana painfully opened her eyes hoping that she was on her bed at home and it was all a dream. She could see a blur image of a person in front of her..The sight of him startled her..He smiled at her and said "This is the last stop gal!! don't you think you can have the rest of your sleep at home";he mocked..She pulled her jacked , and adjusted her shirt. She looked at him with great suspicion , she gave him THE LOOK (the look you normally give to a pervert who dashes you carelessly in a crowded bus) . "Ishan" he said , "and you are..??" She looked at him with utter disgust, how can you just begin a conversation with some random stranger despo..; she thought . She conveniently ignored him and looked around for her scarf that had probably flown off while she was sleeping . She looked at him "Thanks, for waking me up" she said and sped away.
She did not turn to see if he was there or not ..she was petrified what if he was one of "those" guys her mother had always warned her about. Ahana waved frantically to an empty auto-rickshaw that was passing by, she jumped into the auto and said "Anna, LB road ponge". Ahana was hoping and praying that she would reach home safe. She ensured that she was not being followed by the strange man she had met in the bus. The auto stopped in front of an old building.She threw the money at the auto driver and ran to the elevator. :"BANG!! BANG!!!she banged on the door.."Riaaaaaaa" screached Ahana. "Am coming , why cant you ever take your keys" came a voice from inside..Ria opened the door ..she looked annoyed "Where were you Ahana!! and why couldn't you reply..Now don't tell me you did not have balance ..why cant you just be a little more responsible ..do you know how many times you parents called me..here", she almost threw her sparkling new Corby at her face "call them NOW!!!" she said and stormed into the kitchen.
Ahana could tell by Rias expression that she had a bad day at work and she was extremely furious.Ahana silently walked to her room , Ria followed her with a hot bowl of Maggi..The room was small , it had 3 beds and a small water dispenser in the corner. A small washbasin at the side ..Suitcases pushed under the bed and big transparent cover with junk on the steel godrej that almost touched the ceiling ..One bed was piled with clothes,junk and what not..Ahanas bed was neatly done with a simple white bedsheet , right above her bed was a photograph of her family and a couple of books near the pillow ..Ria's bed was covered with a hot pink bed spread , A huge red heart shaped pillow and the wall just behind her bed was filled with pictures of her, features, ribbons and lots of mushy pictures of her and her boy friend. Ria jumped onto her bed with a huge bowl of steaming hot maggi ," Tho, tell me where have you been?". Ahana smiled and said "No where, I went to the beach went for a walk"."Common Ahana, THE BEACH??? I would have been so happy if you had told me that you where with a GUY" giggled Ria...
"Ok? you have a boring life..I'd rather just talk about mine, you remember I told you about that Sari add I sent my snaps for??? I am in" screeched Ria..She was jumping on the bed, with one had managing her bowl."Wow, that's great !! so wen does it start?"
"Oh!!I don't know my agent called me and told me to come to his office tomorrow..I hate him yaar!!, he looks at me as if I am some sort of an alien..Today morning he was there at the shoot and kept rubbing against me..I was so annoyed that I packed up early and left to see Ashmit" ..The excitement on Ria's face changed as she spoke of him..Ashmit was Ria's boyfriend , he was a professional dancer, tall, dark and handsome..he looked like one of the charectors from a Mills and Boons novel. They looked perfect together. They were the most talked about couple in tinsel town. Ria had no problem bragging about her guy specially after his victory in "Dance,ke liye Kuch be Karega!!" a reality show that had hit the box office. "Ashmit and I, wow!!! we had the best evening of our lives", she said and winked at Ahana . Ahana threw a pillow on her "Besharam!! you are ONE SHAMELESS GIRL. u know that?, I don't want to hear about what you did with him now!!!Shut up!! " "Ewwwwwwwwww!!" screeched Ahana. Ria giggled;" Now!! what can I do if my roomie is a saint...??" she said and hugged Ahana affectionatelly.
