A Destiny Designed beneath Coincidence

Sharanya, who walks the stairs of her life, with heels beneath her feet, but her head held always high and mighty, is known for being a person who never bends in front of anyone, but still walks the path of justice, truth, honesty and a life full of principles, filled with discipline, the one who never breaks but follows all rules, respects everyone who is either above or below her, never mistreats anyone, never gives a reason to fight with her, but still people feel jealous of her, hate her for who she is and has become, badmouth her behind her back but never dare to mess with her in front, because people who hate her are afraid of her and her personality, but the people who love her genuinely, support her, trust her and are always proud of her. 

She rules the hearts of all, stays in all of her beloved people's minds and cherishes them truly with all her heart; she never disrespects them, supports them as they support her in all difficult times. She is known for being good and kind, but when someone challenges the dark side of her, she never fails to make them afraid of her and always has a way of taking Revenge on all who wronged her or any of her beloved ones in any way. She is good for the people who are in actual good to her and worst for the people who are in any ways bad to her or her loved ones. She might forgive the people who wronged her but will never forget what they did and will always be wary of them. She forgives only her wrongdoers; with all the kindness she has, she always gives them a chance to mend their mistakes and walk the right path. 

She works in a global MNC, one of the largest MNCs with the highest package any of her family members, relatives, friends, neighbours, or the whole society has ever had, but still walks with absolute humility, that the unknown would think lowly of her, as her being beneath anyone's feet. She keeps the difference distinctly between private and professional life, knows which things to keep private, and how to lead a professional life with strength, smartness, and class and grace, without making anyone above or below even slightly uncomfortable. The one who gives respect earns respect is the theme she has always believed. 

Working in the company, while moving down the stairs on Monday with a mind that's distracted, she was completely caught up in the thought of her Project and its current dimensions. With a coffee in her hand, she bumps with a person who was in a rush, apologizes her and rushes up the stair whereas her distracted mind had her coffee spilt on her office formals, making her realise, she needed to go to the washroom immediately, to wash off the coffee before it stained her formals. She rushed to the washroom, cleaned the coffee and was on the way to her desk while she heard some commotion. She turned around to see that someone had fallen out of dizziness and the whole crowd other than helping him out was looking tense to start gossiping. 

Then came a young man, looking dense, calm and cool, who bent down and asked for the man's wallet, where he found a Card stating the person was diabetic and needed something sweet; he immediately turned towards the cafeteria and asked for something sweet, but the cafeteria denied helping out of uncertainty, fearing that helping without knowing might make the situation fatal, making the man lose his cool. I just couldn't stand to look at them, remembering the floor's doctor, who was out of office for some reason and was unavailable but by any chance I had her number and gave her an immediate call, and asked the attendant to work accordingly. Learning of his situation and recognising him as her regular patient, she asked the attendants to provide him a sweet biscuit for diabetic patients, and they immediately proceeded with the order. Fortunately, some biscuits for tea was left, and they gave the middle-aged man 2 pieces, and he felt better. 

Sharanya and the young man helped the middle-aged man to his feet and made him sit down on a chair at the cafeteria. Then, my gaze went to the man who had helped him; he looked at me at the same time, and I greeted him with a polite smile. He came to me and thanked me for helping him out while I just shook my head, showing a gesture that it was not a big deal. Then he said, "Hi, I'm Aadish. Nice to meet you. May I know your name, Miss? Sharanya, she said. He extended his hand, and she shook it politely, continuing, "Nice to meet you too, Sir". Aadish laughed. Sharanya paused and asked, " Was the man someone known or special to you? You helped him so willingly, with eyes curious, she asked. Aadish shook his head. He was just a person from this office; I saw him a few times. I don't exactly know who he is. Did you know him by any chance? he questioned. Sharanya replied, I happened to be here walking out of the washroom and heard the commotion and saw the whole scene and coincidentally happened to have the number of the office doctor, so you can say it was a coincidence. 

Nothing happens coincidentally, words slipped out of Aadish's mouth before he coould stop it, startling Sharanya, Pardon, I couldn't hear you, jerking him out of his spellbound trance, mending his earlier words, he said, Oh Nothing, well if it's just a coincidence, why don't we have a coffee by that time we will get to know each other. Sharanya laughed, " Well, I won't mind, but in all of this commotion, I lost the track of time, I was wandering with my coffee, but it spilt due to a sudden collision on the stairs, if I don't go now I might be late, Sharanya answered making a Sorry face, so Aadish said just one coffee, won't make you much late, if someone scolds you for that I might take the responsibility of telling the truth. Sharanya smiled, couldn't come up with words suddenly, but then her team members suddenly reached and asked to come to the desk immediately, since the manager is with the HOD asking about the projects and their requirements check, that led the coffee time being disrupted between Aadish and Sharanya, knowing the intensity of the situation, Aadish backed off, saying Let's meet some other time since we work on the same floor, we might catch up some other time. Wiithout saying anything, Sharanya nodded with a charming smile on her face and left the spot. While walking back to the desk she replayed the series of incidents in her mind again and again, because with a character and personality so strong, she was never charmed by any boy or any man in her life, this was the first man she wanted to know and trust him for some unknown reasons.
