My journey with an Endearing Stranger 4 Chapter 4

It's really terrible to move on to the top floor using steps everyday.Our lift is actually under repair and so I don't have any other choice.This changed my chirpy mood a little.But anyways I have never let it out at any cost.As soon as I got into my office,my colleagues approached me and congratulated me. For a second, I was shocked and I started thinking

"Why were they greeting me?"huh!

Then suddenly one of my colleagues came forward and gave me a letter.

I slowly opened it with fear and anxiety mixed together.

Letter...

To

Miss Helena Davies

Assistant manager

XXX company

From

Manager

Manager.

I had a smile while closing the letter. It might be because I felt little proud of myself.

I was really happy and satisfied with my job.This project is a great deal for me. It means a lot actually.I thought its time to prove myself to this world of grey.

I decided to make perfect costumes and for that I started preparing the drawings.By the way, I'm good at art.

This art was actually inherited from my dad.He's a very good artist.He won many prizes for his paintings.This might be one of the reasons for me being here as a designer.

In the course of time,many questions raised in my mind.I know it's a very prestigious project.

"But what designs will the Los Angeles company prefer?"

"What should I do now?"

"Can I make it well?"

While I was busy in making designs,one of my colleagues came into my cabin and said,

"Helena, it's already 4pm. It's time to leave..".

Actually, I was so involved that I completely forgot my surroundings.

" Okay. I'm coming", I said.

I took all my stuff and very soon I left my office and got into a local train.

I thought,

"My manager has not even seen me.But still he believed in me and my work so well that he has put the company's reputation in my hands.So I need to do something that's gonna give him a good name".

"Come on Cheer up Helena"..

On my way home, I bought all the necessary stuff for my designs.When I reached home,my mom and dad were getting ready to go out of station for about a week.They were actually going to Texas to attend one of our relative's wedding. I told them very earlier that I cannot make it out (attend the wedding).So I would be the only one at home.

I went into my room and had a hot shower.After sometime,my mom called me and so I came downstairs.Asusually, just like every mom says,she gave me the regular suggestions and placed a kiss on my forehead.Then my parents left for Texas.

I closed the main door to avoid the cold breezes outside.The climate seemed chirpy just like the day I saw the stranger. I don't know why,but the word 'stranger' itself brings a smile on my face. I am really desperate to meet him. I want to make him my friend, may be more than that.But whenever I sit beside him,my heart begins to run.Not even a word comes out of my throat.

His eyes had a magic.It also had a wonderful power to capture mine.His eyes smiles and even talks sometimes.

I don't know what this feeling is...

Can it be ....... ?
