The Dawn
It’s a new day, new morning in the city of dreams, New York. Previous
night was peaceful, with a willingness to wake up to the new day filled
up with new adventures and experiences. As I was thinking about the
day, I could hear my phone buzzing next to me and it’s none other than
my best friend “Jenny Crane”, as usual being chirpy and amazing she
says “Good Morning Sleepyhead” and wakes me up from my dreams to
the real world. It feels good when you wake up to a call from your best
friend in the morning. Being a little witty I say “Good morning Jen, how
are you doing and what made you disturb me so early in the
morning?”, she replies saying that “ Dear blockhead, it’s already 11am,
it’s not that early as you feel it is, so do you care to explain what on
the earth has kept you sleepy this late?”. That’s when I realize that I
am caught off guard by her question and she exactly knows what it is.
On my silence she understands the reason and her being her gives me a
piece of her mind,” Oh jezz! Do you really think i am buying that
silence? it’s been a year now and we are not letting you brood anymore because of a Moron. I swear if I were you I would
have punched that asshole hard in his guts so that he wouldn’t ever cheat on any
other female in this world.” The mention of something from my past
doesn’t allow me to get deeper into this conversation and I say “Ok!
We aren’t going into it Jen… What do you want now?”,
Jenny is not only my best friend but she is strong headed, intelligent,
funny and a Vice President to Crane Financials’ which is New York’s largest financial company, so I cannot expect any more kindness from
her when she is pissed at me. “At 7PM today, be ready we are
going out on drinks, and a hardcore party at Plush”, it’s not a request but an order from her which reflects her strong personality, which none of us could deny. Before I could say a word, the
line goes dead from her end leaving me no choice then to meet them
tonight.
(It’s going to be an eventful evening as we all are going to hangout
and party hard…also where I know they would again be pushing me
into finding a “DATE”, and it kinda terrifies me.The day passes by and
I get all decked up in a black off shoulder dress with black stilletos and a light makeup with diamond studs..what I like the most about myself are my brown eyes so I always like to keep a subtle look with my eyes as people say that eyes always speak and my short brown hairs which are falling on my shoulder.
I reach down and find my friends waiting over for me. Brett, greets me
with a huge smile on his face and sighs out of relief,” Cool, finally I could
get some relief now, getting you out of your sadistic home” He grins at
me mischievously, making it very clear that tonight is going to be a best
night of my life ever. Brett, Jenny’s elder brother, the CEO of Crane
Financials, Mr. Perfect and the billionaire bachelor of the town, a thought crosses over my mind looking at them that “Am I blessed or am I really blessed”, and there is a smile on my face as I hop in the car and we drive towards “Plush”. I find Shaun, Kim, Rebecca and Jenny in the backseats of the car. Shaun has his constant gaze on Kim and it’s pretty clear that something is up with Shaun. Shaun Samson”, well he is an entertainer in his own ways and an engineer by
profession, the heir of Samson group of industries. Having a quick
conversation with everyone, time passes by and we reach Plush.
(It’s all crowded with howdies and rowadies, loud music, disco lights, all in
all a kickass evening to start off with.)
Brett being Brett, being chivalrous of all of us, places everyone’s orders
to the bartender until he finds me lost in my thoughts. Plush is a place where I
have memories with Stefan, Stefan was the one who I had trusted everything with, never did i thought that those moments will soon turn into bittersweet memories for me, as I am in my thoughts, I can feel a gentle hand on my
shoulder, it’s Brett “Now if you brood again upon anything then I
would be compelled to set u up as a date with any random guy here,
ooo common Rach! you do not need anyone, you have us with you,
and still if you need someone then you had to try to trust again”
listening to these words, I give him a reassuring smile and take a sip of
my Martini. Brett being a party animal isn’t on the dance floor and is
with me while, my other fellows are eloped into the crowd dancing.
Giving him a wicked smile, “Bretty, Now, if you wouldn’t go and dance
your heart out, I would be compelled to set you up as a date with any
random female here”. Brett doesn’t like his nick name, but I love
teasing him, he gave me an annoyed smile and started jumping like a
party animal with others and got lost in the crowd, I ordered a 2nd drink
and enjoyed the vibe of the place, until I saw him.
