She held her report close to her chest and suppressed her laugh while walking through the corridor . After walking for a while she reached her seat and sat down . She remembered his face, his gaze, the way his mouth opened in shock after hearing her, the way his eyes followed her . She was pleased indeed . Her trail of thoughts swarmed a smile on her face and brightened her heart . She was lost in a world of her own before she was interrupted,

"How did you meeting go?", Simon asked Akira after seeing her all lost like she was captured in some kind of trance .

"It was ok . Just one parameter change in the input . That's all", Akira beamed and replied to Simon .

"Great girl . Now lemme see your report", Simon said and took the report from Akira . He had asked her earlier if she needed his help on the report and she had politely refused . So he was curious to see how this newbie had performed own her own without anyone's guidance .

As he scanning through each page, he looked impressed . Given that she was continuing her Master's degree, her report was of really good standard . He took the report and smacked Kirk's head with it and said,

"Check her report and tell me how it is" .

"Ouch", winced Kirk and smoothened out his hair which was disturbed by Simon . He took the report from Simon's hand and started going through its pages . He was also impressed with the way she had written the report covering each and every minute detail .

Akira tiny heart was elated to see everybody appreciating her work . It kind of boosted her morale and she was all pumped up . She went back to her seat and started correcting the weights which Raymond had mentioned earlier .

She had just finished changing the input parameters when she heard Kirk screaming at the top of his lungs,

"What the h.e.l.l !!!"

Simon and a few others who sat near Kirk went to his seat to find out why he was shouting hysterically . Kirk was showing everybody the last page of Akira's report . Akira saw the expression change on every single person's face who was looking at her report .

She couldn't understand what was wrong with the report and why everyone was acting so weird .

"What's wrong?", she asked .

"What's wrong? What's wrong you ask? You got a 'Good Job' from Raymond . A freaking Good Job" said Kirk and flashed the last page of the report in the direction of Akira .

Akira couldn't understand for a moment what he wanted to convey to her . So she came to him and took the report back from his hand .

The moment she saw the last page she immediately understood what was this fuss all about . Raymond had actually written 'Good Job' on the last page of her report and had signed it as well .

Her heart was not able to contain the happiness and joy which she was feeling at that moment . She was trying hard not to give away the wide grin approaching her face . Kirk's face was almost red with anger . He clenched his fist and asked Simon,

"I never got a good job from Raymond . Forget Raymond, even you have not given me a good job ever . How to h.e.l.l she gets a good job on the first report itself" . He was really b.u.mmed over it .

"You are worrying about yourself? Even I haven't received a good job ever," said Simon and Akira could see that even his expressions looked all grumpy .

Akira laughed inside her head after hearing what they all had to say .

"Will you guys just get back to work and stop making a fuss about it", screamed Brian who was another graphic lead of the team . The crowd dispersed after hearing to Brian .

Akira also went back to her seat and resumed the report work .

Within half an hour she was done with her work and sent the final draft of the report to Raymond via email . Then she waited at her desk for another 15 minutes thinking that Raymond would probably ping her or send her some comments but unfortunately, he didn't . It was almost 7 pm by then so she decided to start for home .

Before leaving her desk she texted Vikram,

"Guess what happened today at work?" - Akira

"What?" - Vikram

"I got a good job from my boss (happy face smiley) !!!" - Akira

"Good Job? Really? What are you guys in kindergarten now?" - Vikram

"Yeah go on, mock me . You don't know the good feels of it . You are the boss . You can never get a good job from anyone . Poor you (sad smiley)" - Akira

"Well, you can give me right?" - Vikram

"Yes, I can . But no I won't (tongue face smiley) - Akira

"What was the good job for?" - Vikram

"I made a demographic a.n.a.lysis report . " - Akira

"Heavy !!!" - Vikram

"Jeez Vikram, can you talk with me for one day without teasing me?" - Akira

"Now that's an unreasonable request . You are my daily dose of fun . " - Vikram

"Go, I am not talking with you . Bye" - Akira

"Ok Ok . Dinner tomorrow?" - Vikram

"Yusssss . " - Akira

On her way back home Akira stopped near a pharmacy store to get the medicines which Katherine had recommended for her . While she was waiting for the pharmacist to bill her medicines, she started looking around and a young girl caught her attention .

She was standing two shops away from her, happily busy licking her ice cream cone . She looked really pretty in her ash-green colored frock and yellow leggings . But then she noticed that this girl was unmindful of the approaching traffic as she started walking slowly, perhaps intending to cross the road . Akira screamed and waved at her but unfortunately, that had no impact . She realized in a split second that she was tuned to her iPod and had no idea of vehicles honking at her or of her scream . She was about to jaywalk into the main road .

Akira had a surge of adrenaline and she immediately ran towards the girl and and pulled her back towards the pavement side . She pulled her with so much force, that she was unable to maintain her own balance and they both fell on the pavement .

"Good G.o.d!!!", cried Akira in pain after cras.h.i.+ng on the pavement .
