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",
