Part - 2

Its first week of September 2011. The time when Roshne joined her article ship. It was a big CA and CS firm. Everything around her was new. All the faces were unfamiliar. She was trying to set herself in the new environment. First day passed quickly grasping all the unknown places, unfamiliar faces and new work. Second day as she reached office she was standing downstairs waiting for the elevator. It was the first time when she saw him. A fair gentlemen wearing a full sleeve white shirt. She hardly noticed him at once. As they went inside the elevator, he was gazing straight at her. Though she dint reacted at all or moved even by an inch, his eyes occupied her mind with so many questions about him. The elevator stopped at second floor. They both stepped out of the elevator and went to their respective offices. But as soon as she got occupied in her work, his thoughts wiped away from her mind.

Few days passed by casually with lot of work pressure. This gave Roshne very less time to be with her friends. Indeed it was really good for her as she got the opportunity to be away from bad company. (Always choose your friends wisely as later on they become your introduction). After some days she came to knew the name of the guy is Sameer whom she met in the elevator and that he works in other company in the same floor. Once or twice they saw each other passing by.  It was 9^th October 2011. Office was over for the day and she was about to leave. As she was waiting for the elevator, just then he passed by her. He gave her a curious look with a big smile and ran through the stairs. It made her bit crazy, the way he stared at her, his smile, the way he hurried to the stairs. Elevator came and she too reached downstairs right after him. He was just few steps ahead of her. Finally both of them reached metro station at the same time.

As soon as they reached near platform, he approached her. She was totally blank not getting even a single word to speak. Initially he was also bit nervous but as soon as they exchanged few words, they became quite comfortable with each other. After that she took leave for studies but they remained in contact. After finishing with her exams, they decided to spend a day together. They shared their journey of life till date. Sameer told her that he is a MBA, working as a finance manager. He dint tell anything about his family. She dint mind that much. After Sameer heard her striving in a wrong direction he slowly started guiding her towards the right path. He became her friend, philosopher and guide. They soon became best of friends. With him in her life, she started being herself once again. The same old Roshne who is happy with her dear ones and not imitating to get accepted in her surrounding.

She was really happy to be her real self again. She has missed herself so much from long and credit goes to Sameer. They became each others support. Her performance at work improved. She happily gave her CS Executive 2^nd group. They were having a great time together. She went to meet her family and friends. She has gone to her home town so many times before but every time her family and friends got to meet different version of Roshne which was unknown to them. It always remained a matter of concern for them. But this time it was not the same. They finally got to see the same old her. They were really happy to see her back.

The time went by smoothly. She cleared her CS Executive but flunked in her IPCC 2^nd group. She was really feeling like hell. She did her best to succeed. But the end result is failure, disappointment and frustration. Of course failure is like experiencing hell on earth. It drives away the life force. It was making her feel useless, miserable and lonely. She started loosing her self confidence. Everyone talking about taking failure in stride were talking nonsense. Failure was hurting her to hell.

She went to meet Sameer. He comforted her and was there for her. After she stabilized a bit, he explained her the reason for her failure. It was because of her wrong choice of career. She was never meant to be a CA. Instead he told her that she was born to be a writer. He showed her the texts, the poems which she wrote to dedicate it to him. He advised her to work on her writing skill instead. She was in a big dilemma. After coming so far, it was really difficult to go back.

With Sameer at her side, she can do wonders so she dint give up. She put her heart and soul in her studies. Life became too hectic. With studies and office, she dint get much time for him. She always did her best to be with him for more time.  He never used to mind that and things were at its best. In next attempt, she cleared her IPCC with flying colors. She was also working on her writing skills. In the meantime they came very close to each other. She cleared her CS Professional exams in first attempt and preparing for her CA Final. Once again she was in her small world, secured and protected. Life once again became bed of roses for her. Little did she know that roses are always accompanied with thorns.
