"From Miss Samaira
Khanna on behalf of complete BirdSong... to Arjun...", Radhika was reading the
small card on the bouquet and suddenly asked, "Sam What is his surname?"
"Don't Know...actually
Mrs. Chadda told he doesn't use it often... he wants to create identity from
his name itself!", Sam replied as she was getting ready for the office
"Ohh he seems an
interesting guy ", Radhika spoke in a different tone that caught Samaira's
attention and she spoke out, "What do you mean by interesting?...", Radhika
looked at Sam
,"I sensed your
tone...why it was so sugary sweet huh?, Who is getting interested now?", Sam
added mischievously
"My tone was sweet
because I am chashni my dear friend, but what about you?, Why sudden change of
excitement", Radhika teased her back
"Okay
stop, we will leave for the office now!", Samaira ended finally
*********************************************************************************
"Sam walk slowly see
curiosity had killed a cat!", Radhika said almost running behind Sam who was
walking with the extreme speed
"Seriously? Did you
see her dying?", Samaira added with a slight humor sitting at a random desk
"Samaira What if he
is not that handsome as you are thinking him to be?", Radhika started over
again
"What will I do with his
handsomeness...he must be aged according to me and looking at the number of assignments he completed", Sam said raising her eyebrows
Just then Neil
entered in the duo saying, "Talking about me and my features?"
"No we were talking
about handsome boys", Radhika said and looked at Neil who looked stunned and she realized what she had
just spoke to her creative head, "I mean we were talking about Arjun", she said
looking at him swallowing her saliva back
Samaira who was trying
hard to control her laugh finally swallowed it, "Okay I will keep these flowers
in Refrigerator of our canteen or else they will lose their freshness!"
Samaira left and Neil
took away her chair, Radhika being uncomfortable with her just done foolishness
got up to leave without looking at Neil
"So Miss. Radhika
Mishra ready for our date tonight?", he added with a wink and smirk as soon as
Radhika looked at him
"DATE?", she raised
her eyebrows
"Yes
a coffee date", he winked again and she starred at him with a disbelief...he
waved his hands in front of her but that couldn't distract her thoughts so finally
Neil continued, "Radhika speak up!", he said moving closer that brought her
into Present world, "Neil ...y...you are handsome", she said and walked away
without looking at him!
**********************************************************************************
"Miss. Samaira Khanna",
a firm manly voice called out Sam as she was waiting for Arjun she looked up
and nodded with her eyebrows slightly pinched together as she couldn't guess the
person in front of her!
"Arjun!", he smiled
and put forward his hand for a casual handshake which she reciprocated,
suddenly he got a call and seems that it was an important one, he apologized
and went away to receive it...Sam couldn't
shift her gaze off him, he was a fine young man not much elder to her but
seemed of her very own age as he moved away he became a tall
slender figure, His hair was a dark brown which curled slightly around his
ears and hung over his forehead with two strands falling into his eyes.His dreamy eyes brought
the intensity of his gaze to her attention, startling her as after ending
his call as he approached her back with a smile she could view these features
even more clearly and magnified now as he came nearer she noticed his eyes were warm with a range of soft colours. To bring herself out
of the fantasy world she was going into she took a deep breath but all she was
taking in was his overly strong cologne and she was almost from gagging on that
powerful scent but she could successfully stop herself from fantasizing more and
took her nose to inhale some oxygen reminding herself about the place and task
she had come here
"I am sorry I am a bit late", Arjun said in order to start
a talk to make Samaira speak something
Samaira immediately landed in her professional shoes, "It's
Okay...lets talk about work!", she smiled
"Yeah!", Arjun
replied with a smile too
The waiter as decided brought them two cups of Coffee
"Actually our head wanted to make few things clear before
taking any step forward with you in this project!", Samaira said
"I know, Mrs. Chadda had told me that Mrs. Piyali Khanna want
to know few about me, before entering into a deal with me", Arjun replied
"Yah Maybellene is a big account and we don't want to lose
it at any cost and previously you were associated with one of our rival
agencies so its better if we could clear out few things", Samaira added
"I can understand...but the things such as?", Arjun replied
and asked
"The professional things will be cleared by our head
itself but the I want to clear out few primary things and see if you can agree",
Samaira replied
"Until I work in Bird Song I won't be into some other
agencies, I won't take any bribe from my previous agencies I have worked with
to disclose your plans and I promise 24*7 dedication", Arjun replied and Samira
gave him a smile
"This is exactly what we expected from you!", Samaira said
with a smile
"This could have been talked in office as well", Arjun
said
"We prefer meeting agents outside first!", Samaira
replied, she signaled the waiter to bring the bouquet she had brought and gave
it to Arjun with a smile "Looking forward to work with Bird Song!", Arjun said
while excepting the bouquet, "Same here!",
she replied putting her hand forward for
a hand shake
**********************************************************************************
After sometime Neil and Radhika entered the same cafe,
Neil, Radhika saw Sam and waved hands, Sam signaled that she is leaving and
Neil nodded
"So what will you take Miss. Chashni?", Neil asked picking
up a table for them
"Two cold coffee, please", Radhika said to the waiter who
came to them and began turning pages of the menu card
"If you just want to have a coffee, why are you bothering
about that menu card?", Neil tried starting a conversation
"You said cold coffee costs 75 and here its written 85?...Mumbai
is so costly!", she said
"Don't worry its inflation won't affect your pocket", Neil
added with a sense of humor and when Radhika saw at him he continued, "think it as interest for75",
he said with a broad smile
Things between them again went on mute button as Radhika
seemed to be increasing her GK on prices of items in the menu card and Neil
busy on his Mobile
"If my budget was a bit more...I would have purchased this
new Smart Phone", Neil said showing it to Radhika
"What's your budget?", Radhika asked him seeing the picture
of the model
"Twenty-Five thousand...", Neil said taking back his mobile
"Neil your just a bit is almost 40 Thousand!", Radhika
said widening her eyes at him
"So...?", Neil said in a impish tone
"So,," she raised her eyebrows with same expressions she
would give if someone would have told her there is a snowfall in Mumbai at this
time, Neil too reciprocated the same and looked at her, "So nothing...Coffee",
she said taking the coffee cup from the tray the waiter had just kept and
keeping it in front of Neil
