On the other side….

Khushi woke up early, greeted by the soft glow of the rising sun filtering through her window. The warmth of the morning filled her with energy as she began her day with exercises and yoga in the peaceful surroundings of the park. The fresh air and gentle stretches revitalized her, setting a serene tone for the day ahead.

After finishing her workout, Khushi returned to her small yet cozy home, a place that radiated comfort and warmth. She quickly got freshened up and slipped into a beautiful blue cord set that enhanced her natural beauty, reflecting her calm and confident spirit. Ready to face the day, she felt a quiet sense of joy, unaware of the way her presence left an impression wherever she went.

Later in the morning, Khushi prepared her breakfast and, after finishing it, set off for the company. As she walked through the bustling streets, her eyes fell upon a heart-wrenching scene—a mother struggling to find food for her crying child. The sight made Khushi’s heart clench with empathy. Without a second thought, she approached the woman, her voice gentle and kind, "Aunty ji, yeh lijiye," she said, offering the food she had packed for herself.

The mother hesitated, her eyes filled with emotion. "Beta, yeh..." she began, but before she could finish, Khushi interrupted with warmth and urgency. "Aunty, lijiye. Dekhiye, baby kitna ro raha hai. Yeh lijiye aur isse khilaiye," she insisted, handing over the food. "Aur yeh paise bhi lijiye," Khushi added, slipping some money into the mother’s hand.

With a grateful nod, the mother accepted, her eyes brimming with gratitude. Khushi smiled softly, her heart lighter, and continued her way to the company, knowing she had made a small difference in someone’s life that morning.

Despite the usual morning traffic, which had become a routine for the people of Lucknow, Khushi managed to reach the company around 9 o'clock. As she entered the building, the familiar hustle and bustle greeted her. She made her way to her cabin, neatly arranged her things, and sat down for a moment to gather her thoughts.

A few minutes later, her close friends and colleagues, Nitya and Arshad, arrived, smiling as they stepped in. They exchanged a few pleasantries before diving into the topic at hand—the important project they were all working on. Together, they discussed the next steps and brainstormed ideas, fully immersed in the work that lay ahead.

Nearby, Vedant approached Khushi's cabin, his steps slow and calculated as he hovered near the entrance, searching for an opportunity to strike up a conversation. From a distance, he watched her intently, his gaze lingering longer than it should. His eyes followed the way her lips moved as she spoke with Nitya and Arshad, and his attention shifted to her body, filled with inappropriate thoughts. Lust and desire clouded his expression, revealing the unsettling intentions behind his stare, though Khushi remained unaware of the discomfort lurking just beyond her cabin walls.
