6.We Collide!

"May I come in sir?", farah nervously knocked the door and asked in a gentle voice

"come in!",

She could sense that his mood was not ok.

Farah worked as the creative head in an advertising agency, and today after holidays of one week, she feared the temper of her boss.

"Sir, I am really sorry, i..", even after practicing her apology the whole morning, she was fumbling.

"Listen farah", His boss closed his pen, shifting his attention to her and  making her more nervous, "I don't care if u drink, smoke or take drugs, I want my work on time", his voice was stiff and strict and farah, in spite of getting embarrassed, could only nod on his words.

"We need to design the Stevenson's adds till the next month, u have wasted one whole week in ur holidays, what are u planning now?,' his eyes were fixed on her and she was busy collecting all the fragments of information she had about the Stevenson's company

"farah!",

"Yes sir, actually Stevenson's are launching cosmetics for the first time, so I think we would use male models for their cosmetics adds"

Male models?" farah its cosmetics!"

"I know sir,  but u see, Stevenson's have been so popular with men's accessories so we could use male models in an add like,..ummm..my girlfriend uses this ..or something, I am planning a sensuous add, with only males."

Farah was brightly speaking and his boss was startled, "wow!, it is..

"I know..amazing,", farah completed his sentence with a confident smile,

"hmmm, yes amazing, go start the work", farah nodded and turned towards the door

"farah"

"yes sir?", she turned

"this is the only reason u are not fired, u present ideas which are un believable", he concentrated back to his work and farah walked out of the office with a smile on her face. She took her seat, switching on her computer.

She started looking for profiles of the top models, seeing who would fit in the role perfectly.

The whole office knew the capability of Farah Behroz khan.

It was lunch time when she saw all of the staff moving for lunch. She herself left her seat and moved out of the office. She wasn't in the mood of any canteen food. She moved out, it was the UNION station, where her office was located, the busiest street of Toronto, with the most high rise buildings. It was a business street, still there were many visitors and tourists, she could make out the difference. She walked a little, a new building was being constructed, and she looked at it with fascinating eyes. She always startled the way buildings were built, how could man power make such strong structures stand!, that was always an amazing piece for her.

She kept standing there for some moments, when she saw the laborers were heading down, may be lunch time, she thought. She also walked forward, when she was caught by a fragrance! '"BIRYANI", bile started churning up in her stomach. She could see it was from the tiffin of the person sitting alone on the rocks in the corner!. She thought that the person has bought this from some restaurant nearby. She decided to ask him.

Farah was always spontaneous, she never really thought about her feelings, she did what she thought was right.

She walked towards him, "excuse me", and he lifted his eyes ' THE SAME PERSON!

"OMG!, tum tu wo raat wale ho na!", her heart knew no bounds of happiness and his heart knew no bounds of amazement. "Wow! we met again!",

her ecstatic voice was making him confuse:

 "wow!",

She sat beside him on the rock, so he had to move away just to avoid any physical contact, and unfortunately in this case the male had to take care of this, because the female was just not bothered that she was pushing herself against an unknown man

"may I ask u k ye biryani kahan se li hai?, it smells delicious!", thank fully her voice brought him back of his confusion and dilemma, he remembered he was eating his lunch,

"this is home made", he replied normally

 "HOME MADE??!!??..OH MY GOD!!",

He really wasn't able to comprehend her excitement. Wali got up from the rock and farah followed him, still gazing him in amazement. And as soon as he looked into her eyes, he knew the demand, she wanted to have this lunch

"kis ne banayi hai?", she asked politely

 "I don't understand why are u asking me so many things?", his voice was stern cutting the carp!,

"ummm..sorry..i was just..", she got embarrassed

He turned to move away, and after moving few steps away, he turned back and she was still standing there  - WIPING TEARS! , but before he could think something else, he saw her coming towards him.

 "I am sorry, I didn't mean to intrude, but actually the fragrance really pulled me,",she opened her eyes more wide and smiled, "ummmm..u said its homemade, tu if u can bring some  for me tomorrow, please?", she eyes opened more wide

"What?", he was shocked beyond limits!

 "Please..u have finished urs, otherwise I would have tasted your, but please..", her voice was genuine, he could make out that she wasn't faking politeness

"hmmm", he said and turned, he couldn't believe that he actually agreed to bring her lunch but he had no other choice.

 "THANK YOU", her voice again interrupted the conversation he was having with his mind, "but where will we meet?", she was speaking with the same enthusiasm

"I don't think we need to decide - destiny is already doing this for us",
