AMRIT-KALASH

CHAPTER 7 : HE ASKED ME OUT

Kalash said a  polite thank you as Lula was serving him the coffee and the vanila cake.

I looked at Kalash. The humbleness was genuine.

He was not like the other billionare scions. He knew how to behave with the people who provide us with service. He must be raised up right. I smiled at Kalash.

When Lula was done serving , she winked at me and sprinted out of the room.

I smiled a little. Lula was naughty. She was always trying to set me up.

Kalash took a sip of his coffee and said " Mmm...I like the coffee.."

I smiled and said " It's Lula's speciality. I like her coffee too. "

Kalash smiled and said " I should come here often to have coffee from Lula's hands."

I smiled at Kalash. I did not know whether Kalash was finding excuses to come to my office .

Actually ,I did not know what really was happening to me . Never before this , I enjoyed my conversation with any one so much. I was not so talkative. I normally talked less . But with Kalash , I did not know for some reason I wanted to tell him more and more about myself. I wanted to open myself up . I wanted to tell him what all happened with me so far in my life. I was feeling that it was his right to know. I did not know why I was feeling that way.

Kalash said " So , what is your plan , this weekend ?"

Kalash's voice snapped me out of my deep thoughts. I looked at him and asked " This weekend?"

Kalash smiled and I think he was blushing because his cheeks were undoubtedly red.

He said " Yes , this weekend. I was asking because , I just wanted to take you out.."

Oohh...he just asked me out. Actually yes . The great Kalash Ray. The Roychowdhary scion . The billionare asked me out this weekend. I would not deny that I was not happy . I was ofcourse more than happy, to be honest. But I was happy because the person whom I was liking so badly himself asked me out. I was actually visualising of doing that pious work of asking him out myself. But as he asked me out , first he saved me of doing the hard work and second I was confirmed that he liked me equally .

I smiled at Kalash and said " Yes , I would love to go out with you.."

Kalash smiled like a child. He grinned from ear to ear.

I actually chuckled .

Kalash asked " You won't believe that how happy I am . I was thinking of asking you to go out with me from the car itself. But I could not man up courage to do that..."

"Oh , really . So the billionare Kalash was nervous to ask ordinary Amrit out ..?" asked I teasasing him a little.

Kalash smiled and said "No I was nervous because you are no ordinary. In relationship , we should not measure on the basis of our social status. In relationship we should measure on the basis of the status of our mind. Your mind is far more matured and loveable than you think it is. "

I smiled at Kalash.

" Thank you...but Kalash , have you thought that your parents did not know about your s****l orientations yet. If they see you that you are dating a man , what would be their reaction ? " asked I.

Kalash sighed and said " I don't know. For some reason and for the first time , I am getting the courage to fight for someone . For the very first time , I am getting the feeling that I have found the one for me. The very one whom I want to make mine for the rest of my life. "

I looked at Kalash and smiled. In those words , he actually confessed many things. But as I said that I was a rational person ,I wanted to give time to us. I wanted both of us to know each other well.

So I told Kalash , " Kalash , I appreciate your feelings. But I want to give us some time . I want both of us to know each other well. I want to take things slow. "

Kalash smiled and said " Yes , I understand. I respect your feelings and thoughts. I don't want to change you . I want to accept you for what you are...for your true self. So if you wanted us to know each other well then you are most welcome. But I am a writer. I believe in signals from the universe. I got my signal from the universe that I have got the one whom I was looking for..."

I smiled at Kalash and asked" Really ? What signal did you get ?"

"I will tell you with time .." said Kalash.

"Okay , I will wait for it. " said I .

I took a sip of the coffee.

Soon someone entered into my office like a storm . I was taken aback for some time . It took two seconds for my brain to register that the person who all of a sudden entered into my office was none other than Shekhar, my client and friend and few minutes back I came to know that he was the brother of Kalash.

Shekhar did not see who was sitting on the chair in front of me. He just looked at me and asked " Where were you since morning? I was trying to reach you on your phone but you were not picking that up. Even your Lula could not say anything about where are you . I got really worried. If you did not know to pick the phone why do you even have a phone ? " asked Shekhar at one go to me.

Yah , it was my mistake . I did not tell anyone that I was going to that coffee shop to see my crush for the last few days. So it was quite natural for Shekhar to feel worried about me.

I smiled and said " Sorry Shekhar for giving you a scare . I was with someone so I did not get time to pick the phone up. "

"With whom were you that you forgot your friend ? " asked Shekhar aggressively.

I smiled and gestured at the person with whom I was . Shekhar looked at Kalash on the opposite seat.

His jaws dropped.
