Journey - Part II

Kusuma had thoroughly enjoyed her stay at her aunt's place.It was the MOST memorable one coz she experienced her first Crush this time during her stay. Wow... what a boy she thought. Kusuma was always in awe of class. She couldn't stand anybody "cheap and sub-standard". When her other friends used to date boys for the sheer fun of dating, she was one person who always looked for quality in men even at such a young age. She guaged them thoroughly even before talking to them. She was like a human X-ray machine. This particular boy was tall and handsome and spoke extremely well. He was Sameera's colleague. She met him in Sameera's office party. But, Kusuma knew that he had treated her like a kid. Sameera herself was 10 years older to Kusuma and this guy must have been something like 24 ish. His name was Shibu. Kusuma didn't like the name though, but the guy was particularly attractive. But Kusuma knew that this was not the age to fall in love . She had a vision, far ahead of others, she had a dream, which she knew she had to fulfill, because if not for her, she strongly believed that nobody else would. Besides, as a matter of fact she knew no man could fall for her looks. So, she was even scared to think of it.
