A walk to Destiny.

Ken

Aria sat on a bench in the garden of hotel, she is staring at a family with two little kids were running and their dad was running slowly behind them to catch his two babies and their mother was cheering both the babies, run zen run fast ziya, dad is coming to catch you and clapping her hands.

Aria smiled and her eyes moistened, she could still recall, when she was 6 her father used to play with her and her mom used to feed her with small bites of her favourite strawberry and honey cake. Her both parents loved each other and their daughter a lot. They were a happy family until her parents met an accident and lost their lives and Samaira lost the love and care. She was brought up in an orphanage.

She had never experienced love, she always wanted to be loved. She was beautiful and from her teens boys used to express their admiration to her, but she never had a boyfriend.

Her phone rang, it was Ian.

Hi Ian- Aria answered the call.

Hi Aria, Are you good? Please come and join us- Ian insisted.

I am enjoying the weather please spend your time together let me know after your dinner- Aria replied.

I am worried, Amm actually Jack is worried, you must be hungry please have something- Ian again insisted.

I don’t feel like having anything i’ll prepare soup for myself at home, you please enjoy, Bye have a great time- Aria said and disconnected the call.

Aria stood up from the bench and walked through the red Poppy lane in the garden, the flower was bright red with white outlining on its petals. Aria was fully engrossed in watching the flowers and suddenly she hit herself to the shoulder of a man who was 10 inches higher than her. He was talking on phone and did not see a girl was walking towards him.

I.. I am sorry- Aria said.

Thats alright- He replied and continued his call.

Few seconds ago he saw a beautiful girl wearing a blue coloured sparkling dress which was complimenting her complexion, her eyes were brown and eyelids were moistened as if she must have washed them, her hair chocolate coloured, he could not resist himself from turning and watching as she passed by.

He finished the call and followed the same path she was walking through. He saw her standing between a lot of flowers.

Hello, Miss standing between the flowers is not allowed here- He said.

She turned around and said, sorry I was un aware as there is no caution board I can see here.

She came out and stood with him on the grass area.

That was not true by the way, I was being amusing-He said and laughed.

She smiled.

I am Kenneth kornillo- He said.

My name is Samaira- She reciprocated.

What are you doing here alone, it is almost 9 pm- He asked.

Aria was about to answer, kenneth cut her by saying- Though this is none of my business but people come here to have dinner with someone or may be alone this late and you are in mid of the garden.

Actually.. my friends are in, and they are having a romantic dinner as the guy proposed her for the marriage and I came with them to capture their photographs because it was a planned proposal- She answered.

Did you take the photographs yet?- Kenneth asked.

Yes, they look adorable- She replied.

And then they threw you out- Kenneth amused and laughed.

Samaira made annoying face and said, Not at all they wanted me to stay with them, it was me who wanted to spend sometime alone and wanted them to stay alone.

Did you had dinner yet- Kenneth asked.

No- She replied.

Join me if you feel like, this would lead me to have a good company for the dinner today- Kenneth said.

I don’t feel like eating anything, but- Aria couldn’t complete before that Kenneth jumped his words saying, Alright i’ll have dinner and you can sit with me.

Samaira agreed and they moved towards the restaurant hall.

They took a table for two and sat in front of each other.

Kenneth ordered two glasses of wine and spaghetti with spicy tomato sauce.

Samaira, Please order something for yourself- Kenneth said.

I am really not hungry- Samaira said in a soft tone.

Can I order pink salad for you, trust me they have best of it in the city- Kenneth said.

Okay.. on your words i’ll try but I can’t assure finishing it, you have to share- She said.

Sure Miss- Kenneth replied gently.

Please add one pink salad to the order list- Kenneth said to the waiter.

So, Samaira, you are eye strikingly beautiful, who owns you? - Kenneth asked looking into her eyes.

The beautiful mausoleum have tombs inside them, no one owns me- She replied and stretched her lips for half smile.

Kenneth did not move his eyes from her face. She looked more beautiful by the soft glow of candle on the table. Her cheeks shimmered, the light pink gloss on her lips was sparkling more and her eyes were more shiny.

What do you do Ken.. is it fine if I call you Ken- She asked.

Yes, as long as you call me daily- He replied.

My dad owns multiple businesses and I am the part of a Car showroom franchise that is on my name- He added.

My dad wants me to manage the least part of his business first before I take over something more important- He added more.

So, your father is strategist- She said.

Or you may say I do not share very good terms with my dad and he does not believe I can handle major part of his business, being his son he had to offer me something so this is what he offered- He reciprocated.

The food Arrived.

Pink salad for the lady- Ken said while plating it.

Thank you- Samaira said.

They kept on talking about their work life and how Ian proposed Jack. Suddenly Ken’s eyes fell on the ribbon tied on Samaira’s wrist.

I have seen this kind of Ribbon before, this looks fine on your wrist- Ken said.

Thank you, My mother used to tie this in my hair when I was a kid- Samaira replied.

Why isn’t it on your hairs?- Ken Asked while taking a fork fully rolled with spaghetti in his mouth.

Because, I never tried to tie it- She said.

Ken, looked at her face again and asked gently, Can I drop you to home after dinner?

Samair couldn’t say No but she had to catch her friends.

My friends are here i’ll drive back with them- She said.

Please, if possible, I will have a good company for some more time- He said.

Samaira called Jack and said I have an acquaintance he will drop me home, please do not worry if you’ll reach before me.

Jack was happy to hear that because she always wanted sometime off from Aria since when she met Ian and she never wanted Samaira to be around when Ian was there.

Thank you- Ken said.

By the way would you like to have more Salad as you were to share with me and it is already finished by someone who was not hungry half an hour ago- Ken said and laughed.

Oww, I didn’t noticed but yes it was delicious- Samaira said and smiled.

Told you- Kenneth raised his eyebrow.

Who knows you will love my tastes one day- He bantered.

They left the place after Ken paid the bill.

In next 5 minutes Samaira was in ken’s mercedes.

May I know your address mam? ken said.

Yes, 26 Van Reipen Ave- She said.

In next hour they reached to Samaira’s home.

Thank you for the dinner- She said and stepped out of the car.

He wanted to ask if she can meet him more often but couldn’t.

They bid each other Good night and departed.
