"Of course I will be there in 15 minutes" Ashmita said through the phone. This was the last call she got from her friends. They made a program of gathering in the new cafe which just opened one week ago.
She quickly dressed up putting a light make up. She is not a fond of make up at all. She is a traditional girl with religious mind. Her cloths are traditional yet bold.
"Mom, I am going" she shouted as she came to the hall. Her mother Anupriya is a beautiful woman wearing a traditional sari with gajra
flowers
in her hair giving a totally South Indian house wife style. She was making food in the kitchen when she heard her daughter shouted.
"Ashi wait" she called her daughter with her Nick name. Ashmita was about to reach the door when she turned around to face her mother.
"What happened mom?"
"Where are you going early in the morning?" Her mother asked. Ashmita gave a bored look.
"Mom, it's already 10 am in the morning" She replied.
Her mother raised her eye brows "oh,are you running away?"
"Mom I am not going to run away from home" Ashmita rolled her eyes.
"Then why are you in rush?" her mother replied.
"What's happening here?" Nandakishore interrupt coming down from stairs. Both the woman turned towards him.
"Mr. Chaudhary ask your daughter" then Anupriya walked inside the kitchen. Nandakishore looked at his daughter who shrugged her shoulder.
"Bye dad" she said and ran out of the house before she could face any other interview from her mother. While Nandakishore stared at his daughter's back and shook his head.
20 minutes later...
"Where have you been?" Anu asked Ashmita. Ashmita was panting hard when she reached the cafe. She sit down and drank a glass of water. Her friends gave her weird look.
"Why are you panting like this? this cafe is just 20 minutes away from your home" Malini said in teasing tone.
"What happened to you actually?" Anu inquired again.
"I got in an accident" Ashmita replied once she calmed down.
"Oh god! Are you okay?" Both of her friends asked.
"I am fine, as you can see me sitting here" Ashmita said with irretating tone.
"So?" Malini raised her eye brows.
"I met an arrogant bastard" She gritted her teeth.
"Who?" Anu asked frowning.
"I don't know" she replied.
"You don't know yet you already gave him nick names?" Malini smirked earning a hard glare from Ashmita.
"You don't know what he did. That jerk head don't know how to treat a girl" she said and gripped her purse in anger.
"Hey cool down okay and tell us what happened exactly" Anu said patting on her shoulder. Ashmita closed her eyes remembering the incidence happened earlier.
10 minute earlier...
She was in a auto in the traffic line. She was checking her time than to the traffic signal. The cafe was not far, just 20 minutes drive from her house. Her eyes fall on a cute little girl who was wearing a baby pink frock and big flower hair clip. She was looking through the crowds who gathered around someone. The baby can't fight with the crowds as she is too small.
"How long it's going to be?" Nandini asked the deiver.
"May be 10 minutes madame. There are too much traffic today" he replied.
"Okay, I will be back in 10" she said before getting out of the auto. She walked towards the small baby and half kneeling before her.
"Baby where is your mummy?" She asked to the child.
The girl pointed to the cafeteria two steps away.
"Why are you here?" She asked again.
"Sister can you please get me those flowers" the girl said in sweet voice. And pointed to the crowds. Nandini looked and saw a small flower shop but there was too much crowds.
"What's your name?"
"Rini" the cute girl replied. She has a perfect pronunciation in this small age. She looked like 6-7 years old.
"Why do you need those flowers?"
"Today is mummy's birthday" Ashmita felt her heart melting like a butter. She looked at her in awe. This little cutie want to give her mother a birthday present. How cute it is.
"Which one?"
"That yellow" Rini pointed to the yellow Lilies displayed on the flower shop window.
"Wait here okay and don't try to walk on the road " Ashmita said strictly and Rini nodded like a good girl.
She managed to walk through the crowds. She don't understand why the city people gathered near this hall like there's some celebrity here. She hardly took the flowers and paid to the seller. She was about to walk back when her legs hit something and she fall on someone. The crowd gasped loudly. All of them looking at the scene.
"Oh, I am sorry my mistake" Ashmita said and look up only to found a handsome face with frowning at her. She got up from him and wiped the dirts on her cloth.
"I am so sorry I did not meant to-" before she complete the man before her cut her words in middle.
"I don't want your excuses. I know your kind of girl who make thousands excuses like this" he said looking at her coldly.
"Excuse me?" Ashmita frowned.
"Please stop your drama I don-" Ashmita raised her hand to stop him.
"I said I am sorry. I did not meant to fall on you. I was trapped and it was an accident"
"Oh please don't express your plan as an accident. I know you girls first try to flirt then come running after me trying to get-" Ashmita clanched her fist and her mind filled with rage.
"Hello, stop your imagination there mister" she suddenly yelled making him stop.
"I told you it was a mistake but who gave you right to judge my character. You don't even know me. So stop running that mind on things which you don't know. I have more works in my hand than go around and flirt with man. And I don't see any interest in you to even think of flirting" she grabbed the flowers from the ground.
"I came here for this" she showed the flowers "not for you mister" then she gave him last glare before disappearing in the crowds.
Present time...
"Oh god" Malini gasped.
"Do you know his name?" Anu asked. Ashmita frowned at her.
"Do I look like I am interested in knowing his name?" She replied.
"That was insane. How can he say like that" Malini shook her head.
"Cause he has that kind of expression about girls like us" Ashmita rolled her eyes. Suddenly Anu squealed.
"Look there, oh god am I dreaming?"
"What?" Ashmita and Malini asked unison.
"There, Rehan Varma, the great business tycoon in Mumbai" she pointed to the entrance area. Ashmita saw the scene and instantly her blood started boil.
"He was that arrogant bastard" she said making Anu and Malini gasp.
"Oh god, do you even know him?" Anu asked with concern. Ashmita looked at her.
"I don't care, just because he is a great businesses tycoon that does not permit him to judge a girl's character"
"But he is the best businessman Rehan Varma" Anu replied.
"Hell with the great Rehan Varma" Ashmita replied before turning her glare to the man whom she started to hate even more.
