AMRIT-KALASH

CHAPTER 6 : POLITE KALASH

Lula knew about my liking towards Kalash Roychowdhary. She had seen me looking into the magazine which contained the article about the Roychwdhary Scion . She looked in awe at Kalash. I went a little close to her and whispered to her ...

"Please close your mouth. He will be embarassed . He is simple and down to earth.."

Lula came out of her little moment of zoning out.

She looked at Kalash and said " Hi , Mr. Rowchowdhary , I am Lula. It's been a beautiful surprise to meet you today.."

Kalash smiled at Lula and said " Thank you , nice to meet you too..and I am glad that you know me already."

"Yes , Sir , I have read the article about you in the magazine.." said Lula smiling at Kalash.

I told Lula to make a cup of coffee for Kalash.

Lula nodded her head.

She smiled and moved to her little cubicle to make coffee.

"Come Kalash , come to my office ...." said I.

Kalash smiled at me and started to walk with me, following my steps. I took him into my office .

I opened the glass door. I held the door for him . Kalash entered the office. He looked around the place. It was a humble establishment as I stated before.

I gestured Kalash to take the seat.

My office was painted white. In the centre I have my office table and chair. Just behind the chair there was a collage hanging on the wall that showcased the few awards that I got in this short period of time.

Kalash moved his eyes at them . I saw that he smiled a little.

There were plant tubs on the two corners of the room , just to add a little elegance and greenery to my office.

My laptop , dairy and few papers were scattered on the table.

The chairs were comfortable and coated with black leather. I hope Kalash was comfortable because the chairs were new and kept in good conditions for my clients.

"Like my office ?" asked I a little hesitating.

Kalash looked around the office and looked at me.

"You know your office is very simple..." said Kalash.

My heart sank. I never was bothered on somebody's opinion about what I did or what I did not . I never had asked this question to anyone that how he or she was liking my office. I always had a bad-ass attitude where I would give a damn on anybody's opinion about my decisions. But then sitting on my chair in front of Kalash Roychoudhary , I became so bothered about his opinion about my taste in my office decoration. I got a little surprised on myself. What was happening to me ? Was I falling for that person, that his opinions about me was taking a lead on me and my thoughts ? I did not know that.

I sighed .

"Your office is very simple like me...you might think keeping in mind my family background that I would like plush , fashionable furnitures , expensive interior decorations etc. But on the contrary , I like the things that are simple . I like white colour the most , because it's so pious and pure." said Kalash smiling a little and looking straight into my eyes.

I smiled. I did not know . In that moment , one smile from Kalash pulled me out of the gloom that was forming in my mind.

That was a different feeling for me. I did not feel so close or emotionally connected with anyone before. As I said earlier too , I was never in a relationship before. I did not feel attracted to anyone. The picture of Kalash in that magazine generated an unknown click in me.

Now that click was increasing into an unknown connection with him.

"Thank you for appreciating my taste. I must tell you that I thought that you also like things that are expensive and plush. But to my surprise and I am glad that I was wrong , that I found out now that you are not like the other billionares.." said I smiling.

Kalash smiled at me.

At that very moment , Lula entered into my office with two cups of coffee.

I and Kalash both were startled a little . For the first time , I felt a little annoyed and irritated on Lula . Though I realised that she was just doing her duty yet I did not know why

I felt anger on her as if she was not allowing me to do something which I really wanted to do.

I could sense some changes within me the moment I met Kalash. I was getting possessive about Kalash. The way I reacted to that man on the road in the traffic jam and also how the sudden interruption of Lula into our conversation made me feel irritated , all these were indicating something. Something which my brain could realise but was too proud to admit.

Lula said " Sorry , but I brought the coffee.."

"Oh , Lula , please come in.." said Kalash before I could say anything to Lula.

I smiled at Kalash. He was exceptionally polite with Lula. It was in contrast to the behaviours which were done by other clients to Lula.

That made me very happy. It actually helped me to understand Kalash a bit more.

It is said if one needed to find out how a person is , then one should observe that how the person is behaving with a one of lower status and position to him. Kalash was the scion of the great Roychowdhary family. So it was quite natural for him to be arrogant.

Yet , I could find that he was different from how I thought he would be.

But I was glad to be wrong . I was glad that Kalash was so exceptionally polite. He was so softspoken .

Lula came inside the office and placed the tray in her hand on the table. I observed that Kalash was moving the papers from the table for helping Lula out. I liked this humble form of Kalash.

Lula smiled and kept all the food on the table. I could see that Lula made an extra effort. She went out to bring some snacks . She served us vanila cake and coffee.

I smiled at Lula.

Lula looked at me and blinked her eyes reassuringly. The look on Lula's eyes told me that she was doing every effort to make Kalash happy.

Oh ...Lula would always be Lula. From past few months , it had become her arduous job of match-making for me. She had tried her best to set me up with some of the handsome looking clients who used to visit. But to her dissapointment , they all were into women.

Then , Lula came to know my liking for Kalash and when she found him right in front of her , how would she not make the effort of setting the match for me ?

Though previously I scolded her for her attempts of setting me up . But that day , I could not deny that I was not happy with her little effort to impress Kalash.

I smiled in gratitude at Lula.

Lula gave her evergreen smile that said " Don't worry , I am there to get your back."
