With her hopes high she checked her watch pasted '2 MinutesLate' on it. The pout on her lips got automatically wider. A girl walked in the lift, effortlessly, she was a perfectionist- someone who values time and had her proper schedule to follow- she could have at times been termed as a robot. But that's the way she is. A brainy chick who values time and a hardworking. Miss. Kria Ghai. The door remained open for a few minutes and then when it was finally going to close someone pressed the button again causing door to open up like wh**e's legs. She snitched, in her ever growing irritation 'god is testing my patience' she muttered under her breath, until she saw the astonishing sight of THE Reyaansh Singhania' approaching the lift in his fancymanner. He was doing something on his mobile, while Kriya was left wide-eyed to see the multi-millionaire business man right infront of her. She looked for an idol in him, he was much like her passionate and hard working. Well, thats what the google said, she always tried to know much about him but sll she could get to know was He was passionate, hard working, high spirited towards his work' thats it! Neither does he use facebook or any othersite except twitter,nor does he attend any parties except for the party he himself threw.
"Which floor?" she asked
"Thirteenth" came the strong reply
She was a bit disturbed that he hadn't even noticed her, as she was used to getting attention from the male community and he not noticing hurted her pride, no doubt, Kriya was impressed by his handsome looks and beautifully carved features, she took a glance of his reflection in the shiny door of the elevator, his stone like muscles were peeking out of the coat he had and she could get a clear view of his refined chest from the white tight shirt he had on. his stylishly dressed hair was one thing in constant motion while he stood like a statue staring on his screen, maybe reading something. Yet, he was good looking. HE WAS ONE OF THE MOST SEXY MALES SHE'D EVER ENCOUNTERED!
"Greatly Moving! Herwork is always highly appreciated, a very disciplined citizen on dutyand even offduty, never...' she let out a silent sigh wondering how hard it was to concentrate on professional works when you have a nice guy to concentrate on, right next to you? yet, she can't. She had an image to maintain and couldn't spoil her professional front. Amidst in her thoughts she never realised when the lift stopped moving, she looked around in the lift, not at all in motion, she pressed at many buttons as she could hastily in order to get it back working but, yet, the lift stood still and silent, Kriya had that 'what the f**k!' expression on her face, she was annoyed to a great extent plus the fan was getting slower and lights dimmer every second minute now, she wanted to say something but yet couldn't due to the man standing besideher,(actually theprovoking man standing beside her)
'Am I just hallucinating or did the elevator actually stop?' she heard him
She was already pissed off enough she wanted to say 'not funny' with a stern expression but instead said
'believe your hallucinations, they're true' along with a annoyed expression on her face.
He stillcouldn't believethata girl just talked to him like that, well, not exactly that, but couldn't help it if girls generally agreed to get in his bed after just one line of flirt with them, or could he? the answer was simple. NO! He was used to feminine attention, and no one, he meant it, no one was allowed to speak to him like the way she just did, yet he kept mum.
'Hallucinations are not meant to be true' he stated.
'How do you know? Do you often suffer?' she asked kicking around in the lift just to get it started.
' No, I work on days, and my nights usually are busy, so hallucinations are aware that I don't have time for them, perhaps you haven't read enough books that you have no idea what hallucinations are' he said the little smirk on his thin lips getting wider every minute. She made a face, clearly irritated, she couldn't believe such reputed man could speak such rubbish!
'Don't you dare say that, I have studied all my life!' she said then rubbing the sweat drop she spoke again ' Why on earth are we discussing this when we both know that this elevator has unexpectedly stopped and we're practically stuck in here?'
She was clearly exasperated by the guys behaviour, he knew that, yet enjoyed playing with her 'Well, yes, and we both can't help it but take it as hallucinating'
'We are not hallucinating!' she gave him a pathetic look trying to shut him up.
'How do you know? Maybe we both are just plainly Hallu..' before he could complete she interrupted
' Now, have you bought a MONOPLY on hallucinations?' she kind of yelled.
He let out a bark of laughter.
' How can you be so relieved? For gods sake do SOMETHING!' she asked.
'Well, if you possess any common sense at all, then please understand that there is no network coverage!!' he said raising his voice little by little.
She nodded, he was right this time.
'HELP HELP! SOMEONE GET US OUT' she yelled while he placed himself comfortably down the lift floor watching her petite figure moving here and there.
' It's not gonna help you know, the office is closes at 9 p.m. and my watch says its nine thirty now' he said.
'Try my cell phone' she said throwing her bag at him. He opened the zip of her bag stuffed badly, things were almost falling out.
Kohl... Mascara.. Eye liner... Lipsstick... Again Lipstick... Hand Mirror... A few Cards...and then finally cell phone!Phew!
He gave her an impossibleexpression while she kicked the lift door again and again.
'What? I stay out the whole day I have to carry my make up necessities' she said defensively.
' No! you carry your whole dressing table with you' he said shuffling through her cellphone.
'Whats the password?' he asked
'No need. Just press a few keys and check whether there is any network available' she said.
He did as he was told, he checked the network pressing a few keys and the answer was same NONE!
' No network either' he chuckled.
She sat helplessly next to him,the sweat drops travelled down her body, touching her all around,the fans were already gone and the scenario in the lift was going grey, anything barely visible.
' Hungry?' she asked unpinning her jacket
'Are you strippin'?' he asked She shot him a deadly glare then said I meant appetite
' Oh, well, yes. I'm starving' he replied.
She took out the new packet of biscuits she'd bought yesterday and passed it to him.
He took a few of them out and then handed over the rest to her, she accepted greedily, at first both sat in silence not speaking a word but later while chumping the biscuit he said
'So, what do you do?' he asked I
''m working in Crisis' she said 'I'm Kriya by the way'
'I'm Reyaansh, you can all me Rey' he grinned
' Yeah, everyone knows' she said 'So how do you find work at Crisis?' he gulped another biscuit in his throat
' It's fine, actually quite good, I enjoy my work. 'Andhow's your lavish lifestyle?' she asked
He was silent for a moment then spoke. 'I just want more' he said huskily.
'Why aren't you satisfied? You have a reputed post?' she asked beaming like a school girl.
' I want more Kriya, i desire more, I want to achieve more, I mean, its not bad where I am but still, I need more success in life' he said.
Kriya got his point, this was exactly why she had never dated anyone,no guy, she meant it, no guy of her age group wanted more, though she knew it was hard to be where they were but still, everyone was like 'I'm where I should be, now time to enjoy life' no one demanded more from life, everyone had other priorities, no one preferred working like she did.
She nodded 'I know how you must be feeling' How come you know?' he asked
:Because I feel it myself, that I'm capable of doing much more than what I am. I am passionate towards my work and I deserve more I think, I can do much more than what I am, and I'm sure I will' she paused he looked at her for a minute then said
' De Taali!'a hindi version of High Five. She chuckled.
Both got indulged each other in talking and they didn't even realise when they were slept already! She felt something warm on her skin, she opened her eyes and scrunched it in order to get a clear view, there was no light around and she was no more covered in sweat, the place felt cool, hell! Even the place she was sleeping was comfortable instead of the stone floor she'd slept on last night. Kriya?' she heard a manlyvoice and got up immediately adjusting her skirt so that he doesn't get a nice view of her bare legs. She looked around in the room, it felt more like an office, only classy and much more furnished and beautiful than hers! She opened her eyes getting out of her sleep now completely. She shook her head and scrunched her eyes again, trying to process information of the man infront of her, Yeah, Reyaansh,... no! Rey..
'Rey!' she said ' How and when did I end up here?'
'You were asleep. Hell! I was asleep, so when today morning, they finally opened the lift they found us inside, first people were hell scared that we're dead but later they were amazed to find out that we were asleep. So I brought you up here' he chuckled. Her eyes widened automatically.
' What's the time?' she asked " It's something around eleven thirty why?' he asked
'Damn it! I'm late, I have office today! Thank you so much Rey but now I got to go' she said
'At least you can have the coffee or something?' he offered while she got up, handling her files and bag along with her blazer in her hand, tying her hair in a quick bun she smiled.
' That won't be necessary, bye Rey!' she said
'At least I can have your number, or can't I?' he said
She thought for a second 'C'mon' he said
'Yeah, it's 98657*****' she said hastily before running out of the office she turned.
'Will you call me?' she asked only to get a nod in response. Sure I will' he grinned.
