Diary of a Lost Wanderer

The story so far: Part ~ 1 The story ahead: From the next day Sakshi was not aware about the changes she went through. Or maybe if she was aware it was beyond her control what her heart was making her do. She took more pains in dressing up for the office spending hours before the mirror changing at least a dozen dresses before finalizing one. “ Nothing but the best for Avinash…. ” She secretly thought as she got ready. Her changed behavior and puzzled look on her face was a matter of concern for Khushi- her roommate and colleague. Khushi was the only one Sakshi could call a friend in the company.
