Part-5
With much of surprise, he uttered "Prachi, its you." "ya it's me." She replies in surprise still taking the support in his arms, which was around her waist. Their eyes met for the first time. But they were disturbed by the flash light that fell on their faces. They both stand up in their own positions. "Prachi you look so different in this dress." "oh thanks, by the way, are you wating for Neev or someone here?" "no, Prachi, actually………………." Seeing the gang who was standing back of her, Milind continues "whose kids are these, are you running any nursery or what." "oh no, sorry, actually this is my gang. I play with them daily. Anyways let me introduce them to you." "who is this stranger you are talking to…..", a teenaged boy comes front snatching the camcorder from the other teenager girl. "this is my new friend, Milind." "friend.!" Milind retorted in surprise. "when did we become friends." "you are my best friend's cousin, and there is no need of any formalities to become a friend. Anyway can we be friends." Prachi outstretched her hand, Milind without any hesistation, holds her hand and gives a friendly handshake. "ok then we'll have a short walk then", Prachi starts walking with the kids. Milind sees her, pulls his hair with his hand and smiling he nods his head and follows them.
It was almost 10'oclock at night. Neev was lying on the bed laying his chin on the pillow and was going through some files. Milind was sitting on sofa, working on his laptop. He takes of his eyes away from his laptop and turns towards Neev. "I think I'm in love with that girl." "which girl, Milind?" Neev was startled with surprised expression. " it's none other ,your best friend, Prachi." Neev was shocked hearing Prachi's name. "how can it be? You don't know her properly as you met her onlty once, that too today morning." "not once but twice" Milind corrected and continued "I met her in the beach this evening. She's so different yaar. She's something……. I can't forget her……….", " if you have finished seeing dreams can we finish our presentation for tomorrow." Neev changed the subject seeing that Milind was going no where. "ok then I'm going to propose her on Valentine's Day." Milind turns back to his laptop, adjusting his Bluetooth device in his ear. "Milind you don't know who her father is, tomorrow he will be our rival company competing for this tender. So please don't do any thing in haste." "what…!" Neev was shocked when Milind uttered that word. "I'm saying the truth ,Milind", Milind turns towards him rather seriously. "what Prachi are you gone crazy…." Neev then understood that Milind did not hear him, but was talking to Prachi through his Bluetooth. "did you see what it is now? It almost midnight and it's not safe…….. if it's like this you don't go out anywhere I'll come and pick up you you better wait for me."
Milind takes the bike keys which were on the table. " I'll be back in few minutes. So you completely go through that is there in the file." Neev silently watches him going out. Prachi was waiting for Milind in the garden. Hearing the sound of bike, she runs towards the gate. She sees that he was serious. She slowly gets on the bike, without uttering a word. Milind drives the bike to the nearest ice-cream palour. They both get their ice-creams and sit outside on bench under the street lamp. After a few minutes of silence….. prachi was the first who broke out the silence. "sorry, Milind, actually this is my habit. I was very very happy and when I'm happy….. I like to eat ice-cream whatever the time is. Actually my dad would take me out, but he's on business trip and Neev, he never comes out at this time.. scared cat, so I called you. Sorry", she turns towards Milind catching her ears with her hands. "it's ok," , she could see, his expressions turning into smile. "so what's reason for your happiness, would you like to share your happiness with your new friend", "ya offcourse I will.
Actually my friend had eloped with her boyfriend…….." he was shocked to see the glow in her face while she was telling that particular point . "half n hour ago I got a call from that girl that she eloped from her house. Now you tell me, she did a correct thing doing that na," "she had done wrong Prachi, It's not the correct way of doing it. Did she try convincing her parents?" Milind was slightly disturbed by the talk. " it's useless convincing them, Milind. She did the right thing." "Prachi, it's already late, can we leave now." Milind did not want to strech the topic.
The next morning, Neev and Milind made their way to the appointed place where they both are going to crack the deal by getting quoting the tender. Neev looked very odd that day. He looked very tensed. Milind did not know what the reason was. They entered the room, there they saw someone was sitting all alone in the room. Milind looks out his watch and it was not even 11'oclock. They both made their way into the room. The person stood up, "oh Neev, I'm surprised to see here. What made you to come here." " let me introduce my cousin uncle, he is Mr.Milind Mishra, he had just came from London for this deal, and Milind this Inder Shah…………..", before he could say further the rest of the members had entered the room.
