Campus Selection

Chapter 1

Saanvi's POV

“You'll definitely get it, don't worry my child” my mom said in a soothing tone, and kissed my cheeks decreasing my tension level.

“ It's just a piece of cake for my angel, i have no doubts in you...” my dad said stroking my hairs softly.

I smiled at both of them and side hugged them.

I took a sharp breath and bid them bye, as i was running late for college.

As i stepped out of my home, i heard the honking sound of the car, i knew she was here.

She waved her hand twice indicating me to rush. I hopped in the car and adjusted the seat belt and heaved a sigh of relief.

“ You look perfect mimi...” she said, while looking at me from head to toe.

“ you are stunning here mimi ” i said and rolled my eyes at her.

She huffed in agreement and focused on driving.

“ Hey Meera! ” i exclaimed, my tone was a bit exaggerated. The car came to an abrupt halt, making a screeching sound. She gave me, what the hell happened kinda look.

“What's wrong Saanvi?” she asked me arching her brows.

“ I... Nothing actually, hehehe, it's just i am very scared!!!...” i said grinning my teeths at her apologetically.

She rolled her eyes and shook her head in negative and started to drive.

“ Your tone surely gives me heart attacks oneday, mimi...” she said huffing.

I agreed.

“Meera, do you think we'll pass this?” i asked her, doubt laced in my voice. My heart palpitated more as this was the final round of selection, which was happening today.

So now you must have come to a conclusion about why i am so tensed..? It's because of this campus Selection thing.

I've worked so hard these three years for this day. If everything goes smoothly, i will get placed in ACE Companies. There're many branches of this company all over India. There are many in abroad too. Fingers crossed. I should get placement.

How good it will be....just thinking about it makes my heart dance in happiness.

Getting placed in the MNCs is one my biggest dream. If i would get this job done, it'll be of a great help to my family.

It's not like my family needs me to earn money to survive. Though my dad is the only earner in our family, we are living a settled life. Anyways i can't sit and do nothing seeing him working his ass off.

He sometimes overwork, i feel bad for him.

So if i can get this job done, he can be rest assured.

“We arrived already, let's go mimi...” Meera shook me and brought me out of my trance.

I nodded and got down from the car.

“ Mimi...you can do it... We can do it...!” Meera said hugging me. She's such a relaxer for me.

“Yeah... We can and we will!” i said taking a sharp breath and parted our ways.

I clutched my resume file tightly as i was nearer to the interview room. Since it's the final round, there were only three people. I am one among them, and I am the only girl here. Rest two are boys.

I need to get this job. It's either me or Saanvi!!! Hahaha. I can't let my hard work drain for nothing. Come on Saanvi, you can do it!!

I see it's my turn now. I knocked open the door and entered inside after getting a nod from the man, who is our interviewer.

I sat opposite to him, placed my resume on the table, took a deep breath, put on this confident smile and was ready to tackle this battle.

Though i looked confident and bold, my insides were shivering literally. I was nervous.

“ Why do you think we need you or put is as what makes you unique?” Mr. Pat asked me in a professional tone.

Seems like this battle is never ending. Put an end soon!

“ Well, i think i am the best choice since i am in the final round, it obviously makes me the best out of the rest. And, i am a good communicator, which makes its easy for me to relate to others people. Above all, i am a kind person, which is rare in this world now. So yeah, that makes me a unique person.” I stated confidently with a calm smile dancing on my lips.

He was silent for a minute, my heart went crazy looking him so silent. He then nodded his head in agreement! My god!

“ Congratulations Miss Saanvi Verma, you are selected.” he announced with a professional smile.

I let out a deep breath, which i was holding unknowingly. Oh my god!!!!!

Bless this soul, i am dancing in the rain already. I am screaming inside, with happiness over taking me. wowowowo... Can you imagine this, i am selected.!!

“ Thanks Sir... thank you so much...” i replied humbly.

I was maintaining the calm outside, i swear i was shouting, screaming, jumping, my heart did somersault too. I am happy.

Well why not, i just got placement in one of the biggest companies where several thousands of people are dying to work.

“ This is your letter of confirmation” he said and passed me my job letter.

I took it and nodded, left the place with a warm smile.

Soon my eyes feel on Meera, who was standing there smiling ear to ear. My eyes didn't fail to notice the letter she was holding, i was sure as hell, she's selected too!

We both took two long strides and our faces looking at eachother,

“YOU ARE SELECTED!!!!” we both exclaimed in unison, pointing the index finger at each other.

We both laughed. She pulled me into her embrace, almost lifting me up in the air.

“It's worth celebrating hun, let's go!!!” she exclaimed, and i nodded.

It's obviously worth celebrating because it's been my goal to get placement and now I've achieved it.

After settling in the car, she drove towards my home, mama and papa are waiting for us. I haven't told them yet!!! I'll break the surprise infront of them.

The whole ride to home was filled with the talks about interview.

We reached home, i invited her home, but she left as she had other plans. Bidding her a bye, i went inside the home.

Mamma and Pappa were sitting on the couch, discussing something, they look like enjoying their conversation, so much that they failed to notice me.

“ Hey love birds, I'm home....” i said, earning their attention towards me.

They both smiled at me warmly.

“ Guess what...?” I asked raising my eyebrows.

They looked at eachother and then at me and shook their heads.

“ I am... Selected!!!!” i exclaimed.

Their faces instantly lightened up, they both hugged me, more like squeezed me and showered me with kisses.

“ I knew, my baby girl would do it...!” Pappa said patting my head softly.

“you deserve it love....” Mamma said caressing my cheeks.

So sweet.

My parents love me the most, as i am the only daughter to them. I'm the apple of their eyes. They treat me like Princess and they are my king and queen.

I've a short and sweet family. Our home is always filled with our laughs, love and happiness.

In the evening.

So, now i am all dressed up in metalic silver sequin knit party wear. It has this overlapping V neckline, and three - fourth sleeves. I styled it with, silver hoop earrings and a sliver neck chain. I applied glossy red lipstick and tied my hair in a messy bun and i was all set to go to the party.

I went out taking my purse, and meera was already waiting for me outside. Without wasting any time, i hopped into the car and she looked at me for a minute and gave me a thumbs up. I smiled and then she drove off the car.

After half an hour of drive we reached the destination. It's a private pub. There'll be many rich kids in this pub. It's my second time here, first time was when we celebrated Meera's birthday.

She's quite rich. So her parents booked us a private room to celebrate her birthday. It was nice. I enjoyed a lot.

We walked inside after parking the car. Wooden floors with colourful lights welcomed us. Since it was Tuesday, there were less people compared to weekends. Loud music was deafening my ears.

I looked around and then sat in a place which looked comfortable for me. She ordered some wine for her and a fruit pulp for me.

We were engrossed in discussing about the new job, when some stranger sat infront of me without asking any permission. I felt it was rude, how can someone just come and sit in a reserved table. Rude!!

“ You need company baby girl?” he said eyeing me from head to toe.

I rolled my eyes, and turned away. He's still sitting here, what's wrong with him?

“ Don't drink alone, drink with me, I'll pay for you!”he said licking his lower lip.

Yewwwww!!!!

“ I don't need your company, please leave...!” i said, irritation hitting my head. I faked a blank face.

“ It's okay sweetheart, don't be shy...!” he said sliding his hands on mine.

“ You bitch!!! Leave before, i throw this wine on your face....!” Meera roared on his face, even before i could react.

He looked at us scoffing and left the place eyeing me with a smirk. That's disgusting.

She looked at me crooking her eyebrows, i know the reason.

“ Don't be so soft to such bastards Mimi....!”she said more like complaining.

I nodded. She has told me several times, and i nod every single time. That's all. No changes, that's why she's irritated now!

Anyway that man looked like a creep! Disgusting!

After a few more hours, she dropped me at my place. I got down from the car, and,

“ By the way, you're looking so hot my mimi....” i said fanning my neck as if it's hot summer.

She giggled.

“ Don't forget to tell ma and pa about the job okay....?” she reminded.

I nodded my head in a yes. If not for her, i had almost forgot about the details.

After bidding her a bye, i walked inside my home.

Mamma asked me to have food, but i was full, so i didn't have food.

I will discuss about the details of the job with them later, I'm kinda tired now.

I laid down on the bed. It's so relaxing now. It was a good day, from tomorrow there'll be a new start to me, as I've got a job now. Just thinking about it makes me go crazy.

I closed my eyes, still thinking about how my work place will be, I don't know when sleep engulfed me.
