Every year Naira celebrated her birthday with her family,

mouth-watering delicacy.
Until her 25th birthday. It was when the mishap took place
and Naira’s life was shattered. She lost her entire family in a landslide on
their previous holiday in Ooty.
XXXX
It has been two years Naira joined Goenka Industries as
Finance Intern. She was very honest & dedicated towards her work. In no
time she was promoted to the post of Finance Manager. She missed her family a
lot during end of the year and it affected her work life in someway . Her boss
avoided her mistake the first year but just gave her a friendly advice to be
more professional considering her past records.

Naira was waiting for the lift as soon as it stationed the
doors opened and she stepped in. At the
same time a man entered the lift. He was wearing a black business suit.
Black shirt, Black trousers, Black blazer and a Black scarf nicely done around
his neck. He was busy talking on the phone he did not realize Naira was also
there. Naira was also lost in her thoughts .He reached out his hand to press
the button at the same time Naira also did the same. It was then he realized he
was not alone. He gave Naira soft smile and allowed her to go first. As the
door closed the man finished his call and stood beside Naira with his hand
tugged in his pants pocket. All this time Naira was lost in her thoughts and
looking at the ground.
There was sudden jolt in the lift and it stopped abruptly.
Both of them stood inside the lift not knowing what happened. Naira was
frightened but thanked god that she was not alone. Suddenly the lights went
off. Naira instinctively got hold of the man’s arm like a kid and started
enchanting “Ram!! Ram!! Ram!!” under her breath. She was achluophobia.
Taken aback by the action of his fellow companion the man did not know what to
do. Sensing her unnerving condition the man placed his hand on Naira’s hand to
pacify her. He switched on his cell phone so that the light from it will
illuminate the lift and ease Naira a bit. He then moved towards the intercom.
As he moved Naira’s clutch became intense as if she was trying to say ‘don’t
leave me and go’.
Patting her arms “I am here with you. Don’t be afraid.”
Dialing on the intercom he connected to the technical
department.
“What’s wrong with the lift? We are stuck her in between 8th
and 9th floor. Do something fast and send someone up here for help.”
Turning to Naira “don’t worry everything will be ok. I have
asked to send help.” He said in a very soft voice to keep the situation as
light as possible.
Naira listened to him halfheartedly, she buried her head in
the man’s arm and her clutches were stronger than before. He could feel his arm
going numb but did not protest to the powerful clutch.
About 10minutes later they could hear some rattling noise
and someone mumbling.
The lift door opened but it was still stuck between 8th and
9th floor. The opening was divided into half. One half was stoned wall while
the other was an opening to the 9th floor. There were two security guards
flashing light inside the dark lift.
“Hey open our eyes. We will be out of the lift in few
minutes”
Sensing the beam of light over her face Naira opened her
eyes but did not let go of her clutch. She was looking straight into his eyes.
Putting his hand on Naira’s hand the man said “Listen to me.
We will get out of here in no time. I will just leave you for few seconds to go
up then I will pull you up ok. And keep looking in my direction. Don’t’ be
afraid.”
Naira gave him a soft nod and released her grip. The man
with the help of the two security guards was hoisted up in the 9th floor, while
Naira kept her gaze on him as instructed. He turned and extended his hand
towards Naira. Impulsively Naira extended her arms over to the man’s extended
hand. He hoisted her gently and did not let go of her hand until he was sure
that Naira was steady.
In the light of the lobby looking up at the man who helped
her Naira realized it was none other than the owner of Goenka Industries Kartik
Goenka.
Embarrassed with her act in the lift Naira apologizing said
“I am sorry Sir for……”
Kartik raised his hand cutting her short “Its ok” gave her a
soft smile and walked in the opposite direction.

On Christmas Kartik announced half day at office. Everyone
went home except Kartik and Naira. Around 7pm when Kartik was leaving for home
he saw Naira sitting in her cubical working. Kartik went and stood beside her
cubical observing her work dedicatedly. Realizing someone was gazing at her
Naira turned and was surprised to see Kartik standing there. She almost
stumbled while getting up from her chair.
“I am sorry if I scared you. But I think I gave it a half
day, why are you still here?”
“Yes Sir I know its half day but I get bored at home so
thought so staying and finishing some work.”
“That’s ok; it’s getting late. And leave some work for
tomorrow.” Kartik gave her a light chuckle and started to walk towards the
exit. He stopped midway and turned.
“Naira would you like to join me for dinner?”
Surprised to be invited for dinner with her Boss Naira was
dumbfounded.
“Sir…I….I….”
“Grab you things and come with me and that’s an order.” Kartik
told Naira with a soft smile.
XXXX
After Christmas Kartik and Naira become good friends. New
Year Kartik invited Naira for lunch. While they were both seated at their table
they saw a group of people siting opposite them. They were having some kind of
get together. As Kartik and Naira were placing their order they heard happy
birthday song from the opposite table. It was someone’s surprise birthday
party. This reminded Naira about her birthday which she used to celebrate with
her family. Her eyes were full of tears as her remembered her family and how
she lost them two years back.
Naira brushed her tears off smiled at Kartik was observing
all this.
“I am sorry….” wiping her tears off.
“It’s ok you don’t have to explain anything I know. You must
be missing your parents during this festive season.”
Looking at the table across the other side she smiled and
spoke “I used to celebrate New Year and my Birthday with my family. My brother
was the biggest prankster and on my birthday he was at his peak. My mother used
to bake me my favorite chocolate cake and cook lovely dishes, after dinner my
father used to play his harmonica which my grandfather gifted him on his 25th
birthday and he promised that he will gift it to me on my 25th birthday. My
simple wish.”
Kartik just listened to her silently and gave a side hug to
ease her grief.
XXXX
Everyone was excited for New Year and finished their work as
soon as possible. Naira also finished her work and was ready to leave. Before
leaving she decided to meet Kartik.
‘Knock Knock’
“Come in”
“I just came to say bye and Happy New Year”
“Happy New Year Naira.”
Naira reached her home finished her dinner and went to her
bedroom. She switched on the television, but was not interested in watching
anything she was waiting for the clock to strike 12. Time passed and the clock
struck 12. She went up to her parents’ and bother’s picture wished them ‘HAPPY
NEW YEAR’ and went to sleep. There was sudden knock on the door. Naira thought she must be hearing things and
went back to sleep. There was another thump at the door. She woke up and
glanced at the table clock it was almost 1am.
“Who is it at 1am in the morning?”
Wrapping her night robe she went towards the door, looking
through the peephole she could not see anything it was totally dark. She was
confused to see no one on the other side but the knocking still continued. She
opened the door slowly.
As she opened the door she saw a silhouette of a man
standing in front of her. He was holding something in his right hand and took
out a lighter from his left pocket and lighted the candle.
As he lighted the candle the radiance fell on the object and
on the man’s face. She was surprised to see Kartik who was holding a chocolate
cake.
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY…..MAKE A WISH!!!!.”
