Anna Miller POV I’ve been working from New York with my new team of JJ fashion house from India, at first I was anxious to collaborate and work with them and even not sure whether I can handle or guide them properly from here. but Mr Joseph Josh and his assistant designer Ms Nik they completely changed my perception. His whole team was mind-blowing, but who occupied my interest is Nik and her impressions, I can see an old version of me in her, the same dedication, passion and addiction towards work. Her Ideas, imaginations and the way she mixes and blends everything was phenomenal. Very quick, I became fond of her work. she was proving herself worthy in every hard task. She dealt with each thing smartly, the idea of visiting them before the Fashion show didn't even cross my mind as for the first time in found someone trustworthy. My brother is a real master in the business world, he provided me with the best diamonds which I came across. There is a lot common in Nik and me, We not only worked but also become besties in such a little to no time. She was excited about the fashion show and her work to be illustrated in front of others but more than that she was thrilled to meet me in person. She also wants me to meet her other best friend name Moli. that made me uneasy, disturbed and mad at her, I started avoiding and talking to her personal. I was acting childish and saying nasty things to her. Although Nik acted cool, In video conference she caught me red-handed picking up on her without any valid reason like a jealous b***h. After that, She gave me an earful. finally, we sort everything out. she laughed hard like really hard to know that I was envious of Moli it was silly and I was feeling ashamed of my behaviour. but I have all right to be Jealous and why not I don’t have any best friend or true friend other than Nik, She always likes to talk about her and Moli's friendship, making me a green-eyed she-devil. Soon I realize, I am actually special to her not because I am her boss but because she admires me in every way. She shared everything about her and Moli making me feel bad about my attitude. They went through a lot of s**t together this brings out the pure and strong friendship between them. I started admiring their bond. For making me more involved with Moli. Nik created a w******p group just for three of us me, Nik and Moli. Finally, we know each other as if we are sisters by birth, now I am fond of Moli too. Sometimes I thought to myself that she is ideal for my i***t brother Steve. She is a gorgeous, kind and wonderful person. And she needs a safe place that only my brother can provide her. They can make a power-pack flawless couple. Yeah, It’s perfect to reckon but hard to implement and extremely tough to accomplish the desired result that is My brother and Moli as a couple. If I will come up with this idea and they get to know it, I will be six feet under the ground for playing cupid to them without there consent. I was more than eager to reach Mumbai India. Brother and my two sweethearts are desperately waiting for me. I reached on time, Nik insisted on picking me up from the airport, but I told her not to. she was required at the venue as I was already running late. Steve picked me up and dropped me at JJ Fashion House premises where everyone welcomed me in traditional style tilak with kumkum bindi ( a smaller dot worn between the eyebrows it may be made up of chestnut colour powder or other material or precious or normal stones), a garland of my favourite red rose and variety of Indian sweets. Mmmmm yum yum. Indian culture always amazed me, they treat their guests like a God. I know Nik planned this grand welcome for me, she greeted me with a bear hug and her as always charming smile. She was treating me as if we were long lost friend who meets after a long time. Kinda I was also enjoying her company in person. Now a few things are pending from my side, that is meeting my other darling Moli, solving her problems, playing cupid for her and my brother. "I am going to stay here until I achieved what I want," I think to myself smiled evilly although there is nothing evil in my plans. Masquerade ball party theme was on points. Mr Joseph and Nik arranged everything excellently showing of elegance, glamour and lavish life of western as well as the tradition of India. They’ve sent invitations a week ago to all-important clients and big shots. All I have to do now is sit down by Nik and Mr Joseph side and watch final preparation and runway rehearsal. Everything was in place at the time of the event. I was ready to shade tears of joy, for the first time other than my mother someone designed a ball gown exclusively for me. I get dressed in my navy blue backless silk dress, with ruffle pattern and stonework over the deep v neck. With matching heels and mask decorated with light stones and feathers. The dress was amazing and it fits me like my second skin, exposing the perfect amount of my rosy skin. Nik not only designed my gown but my brother's tuxedos and Moli's gown too. My brother came just in time to not miss the show. I was angry with him for attending the event like a guest but then I realized he believes me that I can handle every task on my own, so he doesn’t even bother to check-in progress. By the look of his face, I can easily judge that he was completely stunned. Proud of me and my team. As I was engaged in answering the reporters with Mr Joseph, Nik welcomed my brother Steve with her usual dazzling smile, and handover him his black tuxedo. He looked impressed by my Nik's dedication. I was eager to introduce him to Moli but I tried to act natural and to wait until the right time comes, She was sitting near the bar waiting for me and Nik for making our first toast prior Showtime as she has confidence in both of us, that we are going to rock this night by our talent and efforts. I mingled with every guest and was tired of constantly smiling and nodding, it really sucks when we have to persistently pretend and entertain others even if we are exhausted. Thanks to Moli she was on time to rescue me from hawks like men and green-eyed women's. Finally, Three of us were together gossiping and picking on random peoples, having some fun as real besties. When Moli caught a glimpse of my brother standing tall in his glory, mingling with some guests. Thank goodness maybe I don’t have to work that hard to pull them together, out of everyone else she picked my brother to appreciate his overall persona. Damn my brother is luck son of a b***h, I know I should not curse my elder brother not even in satisfaction but right now I am at girls duty. Now all I have to do is to make my brother notice her, I need to do everything in my power to set them up. I will be more than blessed if things go smoothly and she agrees to be my sister-in-law, A win-win situation for everyone. I was intending to do something but it seems like God is in my favour, Oh Yes, I can imagine my brother and sweetest best friend at the altar taking vows. I know it’s dramatic but I can’t help myself, I was just overly fascinated by this idea. Mom, dad and me we all are waiting for the day to see Steve getting married. “Back to reality sweet, your brother is approaching you.” My inner self catches me out of my sweet imagination. I smirked at him knowing that his gaze was all over on one of my best friend Moli. I controlled myself to not jump or do the hula-hula dance in front of them. I introduced Steve to both, his full attention was on Moli, he greeted back Nik with a formal nod but shook hands with Moli. She’s truly a natural enchantress, my brother never did it before for any women. I mean approaching, expressing interest. Yes, I knew because he never keeps anything from me. He was glowing like a teenage boy meeting his crush for the very first time. His eyes were sparkling at the sight of Moli. The look on his face was extraordinary when she acknowledged him with her melodious and soft voice. I wanted to laugh on his face but somehow I resist. He wanted to ask more, to hold her hand more, but I butt in to keep the suspense to not reveal my real intention for them. At this point, I don’t want him to know that she’s my bestie otherwise, he will run away again without giving her a chance. “ let’s go, guys, it’s time,” I asserted and gestured them to follow me towards the round table where Mr Joseph was waiting for us. The whole show was marvellous, everyone's eyes were on the runway appreciating and relishing our piece of creation but my elder brother was busy in admiring my sweet friend. His sight was only focused on her every move. Even when I was on the stage, my full attention was on my brother, he was grinning ear to ear like a nincompoop entirely bygone in her. I was on seventh heaven, first to meet my two sweethearts, second incredible and huge success of fashion show, and third sparks between my brother and bestie, for sure I have to start a fire between them and it’s time to include Nik in my plan. We were celebrating, giggling and my dear brother was peeking on Moli from the far corner pretending to pay attention that he’s listening to his group's conversation. If I share this information with mom than I will undoubtedly earn a reward in return. Right now I need to keep it with me until things go exactly my ways. Nik and I, we both got caught up in some business and Moli was too exhausted to wait further until our meeting ends, So she left to call a cab to take her home. I was happy not because she is leaving but now I can act on my cupid strategies.
