Sahiba Kaur Monga stared at her phone screen in disbelief. The subject line read: “Job Offer from Brar Jewellers”. With trembling fingers, she opened the email, her heart pounding in her chest. As she read through the formal letter, a rush of emotions overwhelmed her – excitement, gratitude, and a tinge of nervousness. She had been selected as a Jewellery Designer at Brar Jewellers, a dream opportunity she had been tirelessly working towards.
Unable to contain her joy, Sahiba rushed out of her room, her long braided hair swaying behind her. She found her family gathered in the living room, engaged in their evening tea ritual.
“Mummy, Papa, Tayji!” Sahiba exclaimed, waving her phone in the air. “I got the job at Brar Jewellers! I got it!”
Her mother, Santosh, dropped her tea cup in shock, her eyes widening with pride. Ajit, her father, beamed with joy, and Sukhi aunty clapped her hands in excitement.
“Congratulations, Puttar!” Santosh enveloped Sahiba in a tight hug, tears of happiness welling up in her eyes.
Ajit placed a hand on Sahiba’s shoulder, his voice filled with pride. “We always knew you’d achieve great things, Sahiba.”
Sukhi aunty joined in, her eyes sparkling with joy. “I’m so proud of you, Sahiba! This is just the beginning of your success.”
Seerat and Keerat, Sahiba’s elder and younger sisters, rushed to her side, engulfing her in a group hug. “We knew you could do it, Sahiba! You’re amazing!”
Feeling overwhelmed with love and support from her family, Sahiba wiped away tears of happiness. This moment was a culmination of years of hard work, determination, and unwavering support from her loved ones.
Sahiba had always been the most hardworking child in the family. From a young age, she had shown a natural talent and passion for jewellery design, inspired by her father’s craftsmanship. Watching him work on jewellery pieces in their modest home workshop had ignited a spark in her, planting the seed for her future career aspirations.
Meanwhile, in another part of town, Angad Singh Brar stood at the entrance of Brar Jewellers, his family’s prestigious business that had been passed down through generations. The morning sun cast a golden hue on the sleek exterior of the building, reflecting the opulence and success associated with the Brar name.
As the CEO and heir to the Brar empire, Angad felt the weight of responsibility on his shoulders. His turban was perfectly tied, a symbol of his Sikh heritage and the legacy he was entrusted to uphold. Religion was a cornerstone of Angad’s life, instilled in him by his loving family from a young age.
Like Sahiba, Angad had never been interested in pursuing romantic relationships. He believed in waiting for the right person, someone who shared his values and understood the importance of family and tradition. And while he had yet to find that special someone, Angad shared a close bond with everyone in his joint family, cherishing the love and support they provided.
Back at Sahiba’s home, the family celebrated late into the night, sharing stories and laughter as they rejoiced in Sahiba’s achievement. Seerat, Sahiba’s elder sister, had recently become engaged to Karan, a school friend whom Sahiba had never quite warmed up to. Despite her reservations about the match, Seerat had agreed to the engagement, swayed by the promise of a better future in Canada, where Karan had secured a job opportunity.
As the night drew to a close, Sahiba retreated to her room, her heart full of gratitude for the blessings she had received. She knelt beside her bed, bowing her head in prayer, thanking Rab for guiding her on this journey and asking for strength and wisdom in the days ahead.
In that moment of quiet reflection, Sahiba felt a deep sense of peace wash over her. She knew that with her family’s unwavering support and her faith guiding her path, she was ready to embark on this new chapter of her life at Brar Jewellers.
And little did she know, her journey would soon intersect with that of Angad Singh Brar, setting the stage for a fateful encounter that would change their lives forever.
The next morning, Sahiba stepped into the elegant foyer of Brar Jewellers, her heart fluttering with a mix of nerves and excitement. She smoothed down her kameez, adorned with intricate embroidery, and adjusted her dupatta before entering the main office area.
As she walked through the pristine corridors, Sahiba couldn’t help but admire the exquisite displays of jewellery adorning the walls. Each piece seemed to tell a story of elegance and craftsmanship, igniting her passion even further.
Finally, Sahiba reached her destination – Angad Singh Brar’s office. She knocked softly on the door, her palms slightly sweaty with anticipation.
“Come in,” a deep voice called from inside.
Sahiba pushed the door open and stepped into the spacious office. Angad Singh Brar, clad in a tailored suit with a traditional pag atop his head, sat behind a sleek desk, engrossed in some paperwork.
“Good morning, sir,” Sahiba greeted him, her voice steady despite her nerves.
Angad looked up from his work, his expression unreadable. “You must be Sahiba Kaur Monga, our newest addition to the design team,” he said, his tone cool and composed.
“Yes, sir,” Sahiba replied, meeting his gaze with determination.
Angad nodded, a faint hint of a smile playing on his lips. “Well then, welcome to Brar Jewellers, Sahiba. I trust you’ll bring creativity and dedication to your role.”
Sahiba returned his smile, feeling a surge of confidence. “Thank you, sir. I’m eager to contribute to the team.”
Just then, the door burst open, and in came Garry Baweja, Angad’s younger cousin, followed closely by Veer Singh Brar, another cousin of Angad.
“Hey, Angad!” Garry greeted cheerfully, his eyes landing on Sahiba. “Who’s this? New recruit?”
Angad chuckled, nodding towards Sahiba. “Yes, meet Sahiba Kaur Monga. She’ll be joining our design team.”
Veer flashed a friendly smile at Sahiba. “Welcome aboard, Sahiba Ji. I’m Veer Singh Brar, and this troublemaker here is Garry Baweja.”
Sahiba returned their greetings with a warm smile, feeling a sense of camaraderie already building among them.
Sahiba stepped into the bustling office of Brar Jewellers, her heart pounding with a mix of nerves and excitement. The air was filled with the gentle hum of activity as employees went about their tasks.
As she made her way to her designated workstation, Sahiba couldn’t help but admire the elegant décor of the office, with its tasteful displays of jewellery and luxurious furnishings.
Upon reaching her desk, Sahiba was greeted by a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a box of chocolates, a warm welcome from her new colleagues. Grateful for the thoughtful gesture, she took a moment to savor the sweetness of the chocolates and arrange the flowers on her desk.
Feeling more at ease, Sahiba took a seat and began to familiarize herself with her allocated tasks for the day. She meticulously organized her workspace, arranging her design tools and materials with precision and care.
As she delved into her work, Sahiba made sure to greet her new colleagues with a warm smile and friendly introductions. The atmosphere in the office was welcoming, and she felt a sense of camaraderie building among her peers.
Just then, Angad approached her desk, his keen eyes observing her work with interest. “Good morning, Sahiba. I hope you’re settling in well,” he said, his tone encouraging.
Sahiba looked up from her task, a smile lighting up her face. “Good morning, sir. Yes, thank you. I’m eager to dive into my tasks for the day.”
Angad nodded, gesturing towards her designs. “I’m glad to hear that. Would you mind showing me what you’ve been working on?”
Sahiba’s heart skipped a beat as she presented her designs to Angad, her hands slightly trembling with nerves. She had poured her heart and soul into each design, hoping to make a good impression on her first day.
As Angad carefully examined her work, Sahiba held her breath, waiting anxiously for his reaction. To her relief and delight, a smile spread across Angad’s face as he studied the intricate details and thoughtful analysis in her designs.
“These are impressive, Sahiba,” Angad said, his tone filled with genuine admiration. “You have a keen eye for detail and a strong understanding of our brand aesthetic. I’m confident you’ll make valuable contributions to our team.”
Sahiba beamed with pride, her nerves dissipating as she soaked in Angad’s praise. With a newfound sense of confidence, she felt ready to tackle any challenges that came her way, eager to make her mark in the world of jewellery design.
As she returned to her work, a sense of excitement and determination filled her heart. With the support of her colleagues and the guidance of Angad, Sahiba knew that her journey at Brar Jewellers was off to a promising start. And as she delved deeper into her tasks, she couldn’t help but feel grateful for the opportunity to pursue her passion in such a vibrant and welcoming environment.
As the day gradually drew to a close, Angad sat in his office, his gaze drifting towards the bustling activity outside. Through the glass walls of his office, he could see the employees wrapping up their tasks, their energy still palpable despite the approaching end of the workday.
Throughout the day, Angad had observed Sahiba’s unwavering dedication to her work, her focus and commitment evident in every task she undertook. Her passion for jewellery design shone through in the meticulous attention to detail she displayed, and it brought a genuine smile to Angad’s face.
Garry and Veer, noticing Angad’s subtle glances towards Sahiba throughout the day, couldn’t help but tease him about it. They exchanged knowing looks and playful nudges, their mischievous grins betraying their amusement.
“Looks like someone’s got a soft spot for the new recruit,” Garry teased, a twinkle in his eye.
Veer chuckled, joining in on the teasing. “Yeah, Angad. We’ve never seen you so interested in another employee before. What’s so special about Sahiba Ji?”
Angad rolled his eyes playfully, though a hint of warmth lingered in his expression. “Oh, stop it, I am just observing Sahiba as she is new recruit.”
But deep down, Angad couldn’t deny the truth in their jesting remarks. There was something about Sahiba’s passion and determination that resonated with him, something that set her apart from the others.
As he watched Sahiba tidying up her workstation with meticulous care, a sense of pride swelled within Angad. He knew that with her talent and dedication, Sahiba would go far in her career at Brar Jewellers.
With a final glance towards Sahiba, Angad couldn’t help but feel grateful for her presence in the office. As the day came to an end and the employees began to depart, he couldn’t shake off the feeling that Sahiba’s arrival had brought a new spark of energy and enthusiasm to the team.
And as he prepared to leave his office, Angad couldn’t help but look forward to the days ahead, eager to see what the future held for both Sahiba and Brar Jewellers.
After completing her first day at work, Sahiba felt a profound sense of gratitude wash over her. As she made her way to the gurudwara, her heart swelled with appreciation for the blessings she had received. Stepping inside the serene sanctuary, she bowed respectfully before the Guru Granth Sahib, feeling a sense of peace envelop her.
Sitting in front of the holy scripture, Sahiba closed her eyes and offered her heartfelt thanks to Rab, expressing her deep gratitude for the opportunity she had been given at Brar Jewellers. She prayed for guidance and strength to fulfill her responsibilities with diligence and integrity.
Her thoughts then turned to her family – her loving parents, her supportive sisters, and her dear Tayji. She prayed for their happiness, health, and prosperity, wishing for their continued blessings and protection.
Lost in her prayers, Sahiba was unaware of the presence nearby until a pair of eyes caught her attention. Opening her eyes, she was surprised to find Angad standing there, a smile spreading across his face.
For a moment, they exchanged a silent understanding, a shared moment of reverence and gratitude in the presence of the divine. And in that moment, Sahiba felt a sense of connection with Angad, as if their shared faith had brought them closer together.
As she rose to leave the gurudwara, Sahiba couldn’t help but feel a renewed sense of purpose and determination. With Rab’s blessings and the support of her loved ones, she knew she was ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
And as Angad watched her leave with a smile on his face, he couldn’t shake off the feeling that Sahiba’s presence in his life was a blessing in itself. With her sincerity and devotion, she had touched his heart in a way he never expected.
