Met To Mend

Five

*Rohan’s point of view*

I am Rohan Oberoi, a 6’2, fair and ambitious boy. Back in my school in India, everyone calls me giraffe because of my height, but here in the USA, I am an average height guy and I am truly happy about that.

I came here to stay away from my over caring mother and especially from my billionaire dad, who always wants me to join our widely spread family business, in which I am least interested as I always dreamt of my own identity, my self-made reputation, not the one I got from my paternal business. It's not like I don’t respect my family values or dislike my parents, it's just a matter of opinion, I don’t want to follow the orthodox ritual of nepotism.

So, I studied hard to get into this student exchange programme and my hard work paid me back and I am here free to fly high.

The most interesting part in the states so far for me is Miss DEMI.

We met accidentally last night when Harry and I came back from the city tour. I was driving, apparently, I was not aware of the traffic rules of this place, I drove down the wrong way while turning for Kapoor's home and almost bumped into a luxury car, I said almost!

A frowning well drunk, the undisciplined girl came out of the car, yelling like hell at me. I tried to calm her down as nothing was damaged, but I don’t know why she got so mad, she frowned like hell, bellowing, growling in anger if it was not Harry who pulled me away saying that she is mad girl next door. We both would have landed in a police station in a drink and drive case.

But today to my most surprise the mad wild cat came out to be the popular girl of my college. Can anyone imagine the messy, drunk girl could be so intelligent and worst than that is she is my sister BFF, that's insane and another more disgusting thing is Ms. Chloe teamed us together." Me and the Wild cat," this is the most deadly combination, that I could ever imagine.

God knows how the rest of the days gonna be with her, adventurous... insanely adventurous. I am actually smiling alone thinking about the wild cat.

*Demi's Point of view*

I parked my car and entered my Dream Aqualand office. It's a startup company we don’t own a huge building as if now, I am sure one day I will buy that also.

"Hey Nathan," I greeted with a smile.

"Hey Demi, So good to see you." Nathan who was working on my designs said turning to me.

"Wow, that’s perfect!" I smoulder amusingly looking at the new aquarium he made.

"You did a great job, Nathan," I appreciated him patting his shoulder.

"It’s your design Demi, I only gave shape to your drawings." he sweetly praised me back.

This is the best part of our partnership, we generously appreciate each other.

"So, Why did you call me?" I asked.

"Demi, we got a new order." he seriously answered.

"That's great! but you don’t sound excited about it, Nathan." I concernedly asked.

"You guessed it right, Actually, this order is not like the regular orders we have so far," he said pulling out the drawer of his work table.

I arched my eyebrows in confusion... "As in???"

He pulled out an envelope and handed it to me.

It is a blank envelope, I excitedly opened it and fetch a letter ahead from it.

To,

The Manager Dream Aqualand,

I am writing to you on behalf of Mr. Mylo Miller, CEO of Miller group of companies.

Mr. Miller likes your aquarium designs and he wants you to design a huge floor to ceiling aquarium for our new company office in California. The dimensions and requirements are attached to this mail.

Kindly let us know your answer to our company's email. id.

Regards

Anthony Riveria

I astonishingly looked at Nathan.

I think it’s a prank. Nathan said throwing his hands in the air.

“How can you say that, Nathan?” I confusedly ask putting the letter back in the envelope.

It is because the envelope has no company logo or stamp and secondly, I searched on internet Miller’s are not putting up any new branch in California. He said showing the search results on his phone.

I sadly look at the envelope in my hand and frustratedly ran my fingers in my hair.

Why someone pranks us and who? A question arises in my head.

"Nathan, maybe it's about their coming project?" I asked tapping my chin.

"Who wants to have floor to ceiling aquarium in their office?" he chuckled

"And Demi, Dream Aqualand is not so damn popular that a business tycoon likes Mr. MYLO MILLER will recognise us," he scoffed continuing his work.

I agreed, heaving a sigh.

"Would you like to have some coffee, Demi?" he asked looking at my disappointed face.

"Sure, I am in my cabin?" I said walking towards my cabin perplexedly looking at the envelope in my hands.

My cabin is one of the most peaceful places in this world, where I can imagine and draw my designs without any disturbance. Though it was not a big cabin, I designed it my way with a small pot aquarium with a pair of golden fishes swimming in.

"Hey, girls... what's up?" I asked tapping slowly on the aquarium glass.

I love to have lively things around me, so I place this aquarium on the side of my workplace. Whenever I am stressed, I look at my beautiful fishes playing, bubbling, enjoying in this small pot, my mood automatically turns up.

I was having an intuition that this is not a fake order. I should have answered this letter.

So, I turned on my laptop and searched for Millers group's official email id.

If this is an authentic order, they will surely reply to me.

I replied in a very professional manner with a small sample design image and quotation of the expenditure.

I deliberately quote higher prices than our regular corporate prices.

and press the enter button.

"Done!" I said clapping my hands in excitement.

Nathan entered with two cups of coffee.

I immediately logged out, as I don't want to hear any negative view from Nathan on my reply.

Nathan gave me my cup of coffee.

"Thank you, Nathan."

"So how's your day Demi?" he asked sitting on the table.

"It was good," I answered sipping my coffee.

"Last week orders are ready for dispatch, you can call the respective customers to collect their orders." He informed me, giving the order receipts.

I took a glance at the slips.

"Nathan," I raised my voice in surprise, he jumped off the table.

"Yes, mam." he panicked.

"Don't panic Nathan, you made that complicated design in just two days. I took a month to design that and you mould it in shape in two days...Well done Nathan." I said grabbing his hand and shook it.

"OOoh, Demi... be careful, you gonna break my hand." he groaned.

"Oops sorry," I apologised leaving his hand.

I gripped his hand so tightly in excitement.

"It's ok." he giggled rubbing his hand.

We both enjoyed our coffee and I left for my home, two things still stuck in my head. One was Mr. Devil exchange student and the second is this huge order.

Two conflicts in a day.

"Oh Jesus, please help." I pray in my heart driving to my home.
