“Thanks, Raju,” I said. I was so desperate to get this job. “Raju, somehow you must make him hire me, my family’s future depends on this job,” I said. “You will get this job, but you must listen to me,” Raju said. “Come on, Raju, I am your only friend and you are my only friend, won’t I listen to you?” I said. “Good, listen, with this money that I have, we are going to invest this on dresses and makeup, okay?” he said. “Okay, but I will return the money once I get the job,” I said. “Just returning the money? I want you to buy me a new Royal Enfield bike,” he said. “How much is a Royal Enfield bike?” I asked. “Between 1 and 2 lakhs, because that’s how much you are going to earn every month,” he said. “My God, the salary is between 1 and 2 lakhs per month? It will solve all my problems, Raju,” I exclaimed. “For that, we need to transform you, I mean, I need to transform you so that the boss likes you the moment he sees you and hires you,” Raju said. “Sure Raju,” as I was saying, the old shopkeeper entered inside with the boxes of branded undergarments, and started spreading them all over the table and Raju was busy asking him doubts. “Anjali, let Raju take you over completely and transform you, if you can’t trust Raju in this big city, whom can you trust?” I said to myself. “Raju is a horny guy remember, and he even has hots for you, be careful,” I said to myself. “Stop it, Anjali, he is your best friend, nothing wrong in Raju having hots for me. You know he likes you don’t you? Nothing wrong in Raju touching you here and there, Anjali,” I was telling myself. “You are going to get a new life because of Raju, so be nice to him,” I was telling myself. Telling myself, “of course I will be nice to him, he is my best friend,” I placed my hand on Raju’s shoulder, “what is it, Raju?” I asked. “Anjali, they are branded bras and panteis for you,” as he started to say, “why buy all these expensive ones, Raju?” I asked. “It's the first and important part of your transformation process, Anjali, I got this, don’t worry,” he said smiling at me. Raju was very focussed and looked like he was very desperate in transforming me and helping me get this job, and all I had to do was just listen to him. “Your wish, Raju,” I said and smiled at him.
