CHAPTER 2
(Piya reaches Mr. Oberoi's House. She is very scared thinking that Mr. Oberoi will be mad at her for getting late. She knows how important it is for her to meet Mr. Oberoi today)
Piya (nervous): Good Morning, Mr Oberoi. I am so sorry for being late. I am really ashamed of myself for holding you back. I am pretty sure you must have a busy schedule ahead.
Mr. Oberoi (smiling): Hi, there Piya. Look at you, you are so nervous and talking fast. Please calm down beta. There is no need to freak out so much. Your mother had called me earlier and had made me aware of it, so you don't worry alright?
Piya: Thank you so much Mr. Oberoi. You don't know how relieved I am feeling now. I promise I won't repeat this mistake in future.
Mr. Oberoi: Piya beta first stop calling me Mr. Oberoi ok. You can call me uncle. You do not have to be that formal with me. I know you are a sensible, beautiful and intelligent young girl. I also know what this job means to you. Did you bring your design portfolio? I need to have a look at it and also show Ms. Alisa Raichand your portfolio?
Piya: ok Uncle
Piya (curious): Uncle, who is Ms. Alisa Raichand???
Mr. Oberoi: Remember the lady I was talking about. She is co-owner of that company and is helping out her brother in this project.
(Mr. Oberoi looking at Piya' s design portfolio)
Mr. Oberoi: Wow, Piya I must say your designs are very impressive. What a fantastic combination of western and indian traditional designs!!! This is awsome and I am pretty sure Ms. Raichand will also love it.
Piya (happy): Thank you so much. I have worked day and night for this portfolio. I really hope she likes my portfolio and gives me a chance to work in that company. I need to get that job any how and help my mama to run the house. She has worked really hard throughout her life and now I want to help her and be self independent.
Mr. Oberoi: You know what Piya, I wish I had a daughter like you. Don't worry I will make sure you get this job.
Piya: ok Uncle. I will leave now. I have some other stuff to take care of at home.
Mr. Oberoi: Ok beta. I will let you know after I meet Ms. Raichand.
By the way do you have an umbrella? It is raining very hard outside.
Piya: Yes Uncle. I do have it and thank you very much for asking.
Bye Uncle.
(Piya leaves and is walking on the road. It starts to rain heavily and wind is blowing very hard. Piya tries really hard to control the umbrella, but the wind blows her umbrella away. Piya can't see anything and is about to be hit by a a black car. But the car stops before hitting her. Piya is so scared and covers her face. Since she doesn't hear any sound, Piya opens her eyes slowly and sees a tall, handsome, dashing man standing next to the car. Piya thinks she is dreaming. She can not take off her eyes from his face. The man dressed in a black suit had been staring at her since long time. Both of them kept on staring at each other. The handsome man starts to walk towards her. She starts to breathe faster. As he approaches her, she starts to tremble. He reaches her and looks at her baby brown eyes. She starts to loose herself in his hazel eyes. Then, he slowly pushes her away from his way. She gets shocked).
Abhay: You are on my way. If you want to get wet in rain, then try to find some other empty road. Do not come on my way again!
(Abhay turns back and gets into his car and drives away. Piya stands on road all wet and wondering who is this rude and arrogant guy).
