The Happy Ending

the meeting

Andy's POV

I am Andy ...

Well the tycoon everyone wants to meet. I am a very busy man. I have been working day in and out to keep my company at the top.

I am already 35 but am single and can't afford to have a family yet. It scares me to think of getting married. I joined this company when it was on the verge of collapsing. I was really lucky that from then to now I have been able to bring it back to its glory and maintain it. This is my father's dream and I could make it true. My parents are very happy about it but are also sad. They are now ageing and want to see me settled with wife and kids.I am the youngest of the five siblings. Years back when my father incurred major lossed in. the business my brothers broke ties with us. Yes they are all very big businessman however not like mine. I made sure to take 50 percent stake in all their businesses . Not because they wanted to but because I wanted to bring them under the same roof. Its impossible for them to do business without my help I. did make sure of it.

Now my parents live in a big mansion on the out skirts of the city with the entire family.

My parents are very happy but I also know that they want to see me married . I know I have to oblige them but for now I am happy with my status.

Today I have to be at work early. There has been many employee's I have hired in the last 13years but have not been part of their induction . I do not why I am here. Deep in I know I want to meet the girl Susan spoke to me about. Susan has been with me the day o have taken over the business. I can say she is less of my Secretary and more a friend. When she asked me a favour i couldn't refuse. She has never asked for once. All I remember her saying is that she is her best friend and she needs help.

I want to meet her. Angel she said is her name. I had asked her to seat her in the front row said I would like to take a short interview but reality i am very curious to meet her.

I do not know why my heart is beating fast. May be i am too tired and need a break.

May be i will take a day off tomorrow.

Having said so I am still not sure. a days off seems impossible with the load of responsibilities that I have tied myself too. I have huge investments in my brothers businesses infact one can say I am running the entire business by myself. This is one reason I have never had time to find a partner for myself. My loneliness is having a terrible effect on my health . I have started taking medicines so I can sleep in peace. Thisis also the reason why non of my affairs are ever serious and they end up too soon. In short I am not interested in anyone till date. I have always ended up with women who are with me for my money and never for me. I doubt if there is one for me at all. Not that this bothers me anyways but yes sometimes I end up in a dark empty house when I reach back after a tiring day. Sometimes I wish someone is waiting for me at home .Just for a day I also want someone to call me up and ask me about my wellbeing , cook for me and love me for the person I am.

But why are these thoughts clouding my mind today I wonder. The day seems as usual but the why do I feel something is different in the air today .Maybe it's time for me to retire. What rubbish am I thinking . I still have so many milestones that needs to be achieved.

Anyways it's just 10 mins to 9 and for a change I am surely going to be late to work today. I hate being late. I ask Ram babu my driver to drive fast. He is not just my driver but also my confident. He has been working with our family for ages was my dad's driver a

nd now mine. He is not just that he is also the head of my security and the eye that no one person know about. He is my hawk making sure to bring any unforeseen information to my attention . The most loyal person and my guide too. He assures me that I would reach office 2 mins before time and would not be late.

I reach the venue exactly in time.

With so many thought creeping in my mind I enter the auditorium with Susan. After a brief introduction about the organisation Susan guides me through to each joinee where I have a brief discussion about their education and work and where the look themselves over a period of 5 years. I am indeed happy to meet so many young mind but the one I am so desperately waiting to meet seems like a far cry.

Alas loosing all my patience I stare at Susan who instantly understands me and guide me through the crowd to the farthest part of the auditorium where in a corner i see a beautiful girl sitting very quietly. Next to her is the oldest employee of my organisation . She seems very happy when I start walking towards them . At one glance I somehow have this mischievous thought to scare Angel. Well for once her name suits her perfectly. She is very small probably 5.5 . Her built is very petite and she was wearing a sea greenn formal dress with black shoes. She is very simply dressed but her appearance captures me and more her innocence. As I near her location she immediately jumps from her chair and wishes me morning.

I for once was just lost in her . Her voice , innocence and sound were so captivating that I am captured completely .

Taking control I wish her morning. The thought of scaring her vanishes as I meet and I immediately ask Susan for my itenary for the day and walk away. As I walk away I desperately want to turn and have a look at her but for now I hold on to my feelings
