19.On One Condition
‘Oh Crap’
‘She is not only mad on me’
‘She is HELL ANGRY on me’
‘Oh God, now what?’
‘Should I apologize to her…?
‘Again?’
‘Yes you should …you i***t, you moron’
‘Say it Sid…say it’
‘Come on …you can do it’
My subconscious ranted me.
I dragged a chair to sit and pulled another chair in front of me and asked her to sit.
“Please sit”
She was still standing in front of me not bothered by my words; her hands crossed in front of her and her eyes were shooting daggers toward me.
She didn’t budge a bit. So I requested again more of in a pleading tone.
“Please sit down, it’s a request”
This time she took a deep breath and sat across me on the chair that I pulled for her.
“So I assume… you are still mad on me.”
I said lowly and observed her facial expressions.
She was sitting in front of me but not looking toward me. Her eyes fixed on table. But anger was still evident on her face.
‘Oh… Those beautiful black eyes were shaded little red due to anger.”
“Listen Rabnoor…I know whatever I did was wrong and I should not have behaved like that earlier…so I really want to apologize to you for my stupid behaviour.” I finally said these words with a heavy lump still existing inside my throat.
She looked toward me from the corner of her eyes in a judgmental way. Her one elbow was on the armrest of chair and her fingers resting under her chin. She was looking towards me intently.
From the look on her face I can tell she is still angry and she must be evaluating about something.
“So ?”
I asked her again.
“So ..What?”
She snapped again.
‘Oh I tell you she is very stubborn.’
“Can I get one chance?....Please.” I said almost pleading.
‘Damn ….still no reply’
“Can we start over again?... I am not that bad…that you are thinking of me.”
I assured her and waited for her response but she was still holding the same expressions on her face.
I guess she does not believe me.
I don’t know why am I convincing her like this? Why I apologized to her? Why I am trying to get a chance from her? Why I am giving so much importance to her?
I don’t know…
Why? Why?
WHYYY?
“Okay, I can give you a single chance….”
As the words left her mouth, my heart filled up with joy. A big grin formed on my face and suddenly I started feeling excited.
But why am I feeling like this?
Damn
Why I am feeling so happy that she is willing to give me a chance.
She is no one to me. I don’t even know her. She is not even my type of girl. She is way to different from the girls I know or I used to be with.
But still I want to know her.
“BUT ON ONE CONDITION” she said again emphasizing on each and every word.
“Condition … what condition?” I asked back, curiosity building up in me.
‘Now what’
‘First my Dad …..and now she’
‘Huh’
‘Why everyone is putting up conditions for me only?’
‘Anyways carry on’
I thought in my mind and focusing on what is coming up from her now.
“I will give you chance only when you behave properly around me. No Staring and no cheeky words” she said firmly straightening her posture and holding her head high.
“Okay… as you say”
I promised and as I said that a small smile started forming on her face.
“But…”
I stopped and acted like I am thinking something while rubbing my chin.
“But…. What but?”
She asked me narrowing her eyes again on me.
“But what is bad in staring?”
I said still holding the same pose.
“Huh..?”
She was looking me in utter shock and disbelief.
“I was not staring you. I was just looking you and admiring the beauty in front of me and can’t a human being see what he likes?” I stated my point and also inquired her.
“YOU … again you started bothering me….” She huffed and I started laughing.
“See for yourself…”
“You are not taking it seriously and that’s what I am trying to say….. Now I am out of this and I will talk to Mr. CEO that I don’t want to work with you” she said getting annoyed from me.
“Oh No No No.... Please don’t do that.” I requested her.
“Do you think I will not….but I guess you are wrong…I will definitely” she threatened me.
Oh no….I could not afford to take this risk or else my Dad will disown me and kick me out of his huge empire. I have to stop her from approaching him.
“Wait… Why are you getting annoyed?”
I asked her but she didn’t heed any attention to my words.
She was about to get up from her chair when I stopped her by placing my both hands on the both armrest of her chair.
“Stop ..Stop”
“Hey I was only kidding with you.... Don’t get mad on me … And I promise that I will behave properly and do as you say.”
She arched her eyebrows in a questioning way like asking me ‘Are you serious?’
“Yes, I am damn serious this time.” I assured her.
“No Staring and no cheeky words…..I swear.” I said raising my both hands in defeat.
And now she started smiling.
It was not a small one but an ear to ear smile indicating she won.
And guess what???
My breath got hitched on the sight of her beautiful smile.
“So..?”
This time it was not me asking her….. instead she asked this to me.
“So What?”
I asked back, winking towards her.
She shook her head in disbelief getting up from her chair.
“Let’s go.” She said picking her stuff from the table.
“Where?” I asked her getting up from my chair and straightening my clothes.
I was looking at her with a questioning look on my face.
She reached to the glass door of the meeting room. While opening the door she paused and looked back over her shoulder and said.
“Coffee?”
