Chapter Two - Rudra meets Anika

* As the answer of the most frequently asked question, I would like to say that dear friends, Omkara will enter the story in chap 6-7. Shivaay-Anika and Omkara-Tarini are the pairs around who the story will revolve though Rudra and Somya are a major part of the story as well. Right now I am just setting the base of it, there are many characters that are about to enter in the story.

********************************

"And that's how ladies and gentlemen; every person sitting here can become the next top businessman or businesswoman!" Shivaay exclaimed, ending his lecture on a perfect note. The people present there, students, teachers and everybody else clapped for Shivaay.

He had been invited at the institution for a special lecture, to encourage the student body towards self employment and other business related things.

"Hello Mr. Oberoi." greeted the principal, "That was a very encouraging lecture you just delivered." he praised.

Smilingly, Shivaay shook his hand with principals', "Thank you, Mr. Sarkar. I am very pleased myself.." he laughed, "Students here are very brilliant, the questions they asked me, sometimes pointing out for details. I am impressed."

"Why won't they be? When they follow you, you Mr. Oberoi are the inspiration of all these students." Mr. Sarkar smiled, gesturing to the students who were now indulged in a discussion with their teachers.

Shivaay felt proud and happy at Mr. Sarkar's statement, he felt as if he was doing justice to his parents and their parents' hard work. He talked with Mr. Sarkar for few minutes before leaving for his office.

********************************

"Damn you Mr. Rudra Singh Oberoi!!" Anika slammed her hand on the round table. She and Mishka were sitting in a restaurant, having their coffee and breakfast. They had tried to collect some information regarding Rudra from their sources but everyone of them had same answer to give, "Rudra Singh Oberoi is a very private person. He rarely gives interviews."

That's why Anika was so frustrated, because if she and Mishka aren't able to get Rudra's interview then they would get fired from their jobs. So right now they were in desperate need of Rudra's interview.

"Who does he thinks he is?! Some kind of secret undercover agent or what that he doesn't go public! Damn him!" Anika whisper yelled.
Mishka let out a mock laugh, stuffing a spoonful of white pasta inside her mouth, she said, "I think we should start looking for another job. I am sure that Cruella de Vil is gonna fire us and kick our.."

"Shut up Mishka! We still have this whole day, we may find a way." Anika toyed with the fork as she replied to Mishka, trying to maintain their hope.

"Arre yaar! Where the hell is this waiter! It's been half an hour I ordered for a choco lava caaakkkee.." Anika had stood up to go at the counter and check why her order hasn't been delivered to her. She didn't paid attention to her surroundings and collided with the waiter who actually was bringing her choco lava cake.

Due to the collision, the waiter dropped the plate and the cake with molten chocolate landed on Anika's pristine white top. The waiter looked extremely sorry while Mishka eyed Anika, trying to contemplate her mood and Anika, she was standing like a statue with her mouth open.

"Why!!" Anika cried, "Why why Kanha Ji, why? Mere saath hi kyun!! As if this day wasn't bad enough for me! Now this..!" Anika let out a tearless cry, as she picked some tissues and, Washroom?" The waiter pointed a finger in the direction of the washroom.

********************************

Rudra took in a deep breath, inhaling the sweet aroma coming from his favourite restaurant. He comes here whenever it gets possible for him to do so. He loved everything about this restaurant, especially their baked delicacies.

Today he had signed an important deal with film industry's famous couple Karan Rathore and Shilpa Mehra, he will be designing their outfits for all the functions and ceremonies of Karan and Shilpa's wedding. So before his next meeting with a textile company, Rudra had come here at his favourite restaurant to celebrate with a perfect slice of caramel n apple cheesecake.

He was enjoying his cake, when he heard a commotion, he tilted his neck and saw that a girl had collided with a waiter and due to this collision the chocolate cake fell on the girl's white top. Rudra laughed seeing that girl's expression and her loud rant to Kanha Ji about how her day has been spoiled.

As Rudra laughed, the piece of cake that he was still chewing, fell out of his mouth, on his clothes, "Eeeww..." He picked the half chewed thing with a tissue and threw it in a nearby dustbin. He finished his cheesecake first, because it was hard to leave that sweet thing uneaten. Then he called his driver to bring the separate set of clothes that is always there in his car in case he needed them.

Finishing the last bit of his cheesecake, Rudra went towards the washroom, his driver was already standing there, with his clothes, as instructed.

********************************

Anika came out of the washroom. Her top still had light brown traces of chocolate which she was still trying to remove using tissues. She was walking back to her table when she heard someone comment;

"Um yum..such a delicious looking vanilla ice cream that is.."
Anika ignored the comment and continued walking. She reached her table, Mishka had already paid the bill. Anika took her bag and they decided to go back to Anika's home first so that she could change her soiled top. They were in the parking lot when Anika heard the same voice from before;

"Look Raghu, there's mango ice cream with that vanilla one, whom we saw earlier. Both are delicious looking na?!"

Anika looked at Mishka first, who was walking hurriedly towards her scooty. Anika then turned towards the source of that voice and saw 3 terrible looking men standing there and they were staring at them (at Mishka and Anika).

Anika fumed seeing them but ignored then again.

"No Bheema bhai, that's not vanilla alone, see there is some chocolate as well.." one goon said to the other who was giving previous comments.

Anika clenched her fists tight, Mishka looked scared as Anika went towards the 3 goons and slapped each of them.
"Mujhe kyun maara?" cried the third goon who had been silent all this time. Anika crossed her arms and replied, "Because you did not stop your friends from wanting to have ice creams when they look like they have serious case of diabetes!" She then towards those two who were passing comments on her and Mishka, "And you two! Next time make sure that the ice cream you are talking about doesn't know to retaliate."

She turned to walk back but one of the goons, the one called Raghu, held her hand from behind making Anika fume in anger. She was about to answer but then a nice looking man, dressed in three piece suit came there, he pulled out her hand from that goon's hand and asked, "Are you okay Ma'am?"

Mishka was standing there as a statue, shocked to see the man in front of her. Anika on the other hand was about to say something when the second goon, Bheema pulled out a knife from his pocket and tried to scare them.

The three piece suit man said, "Don't worry Ma'am, I am here with you." Anika looked at him amused, she slowly pushed him away and stood in front of the goons.

Anika moved her hands and legs swiftly and within 5 minutes, all three goons were lying on the floor, clutching their various body parts. Anika smiled and bent on her knees and said, "And yeah, the next time you try to scare a girl just make sure that she doesn't know some karate moves!" She then finished it all with a kick in Bheema's stomach and walked away.

Mishka was all the time looking at the three piece suit man, she knew that Anika can handle those goons alone, she was actually worried about those goons instead of Anika.

"Nice moves I must say." Anika heard the three piece suit man comment. She turned around and smiled, "Thanks for the compliment."

Anika turned to walk again but the three piece suit man said something again, "Do you really know some karate moves or was it just to impress me?" Anika scowled, "You did not just said that, did you?"

Mishka slapped her forehead, knowing that someone has just called trouble to himself. It was wrong to mess with Anika like that. Before Mishka could say anything, Anika was already standing in front of Rudra Singh Oberoi, the three piece suit man. And then...

Anika slammed her knee in his stomach, Rudra fell on the floor with a thud as he writhed in pain. "Think before you say anything, because it won't take me much persuasion to react and act! See-ya!"

Anika turned and walk away, ignoring the 4 men who were wincing and yelping in pain. She walked towards Mishka, took the keys from her and started the scooty. Mishka hastily sat begin her as they both drove away.

It took Mishka 15 minutes to come out of the shock, as she yelled in the top of her voice, "OH MY GOD!!!"

Anika stopped the scooty on the side of the road. She removed her helmet and asked, "What happened Mishka?"

"What happened??!!" Mishka cried, "The worst day of our life happened!"

Anika frowned, "I know it's been a bad day but..." Mishka interrupted Anika in between, "Not that Dumbo! I am talking about our luck whom you just kicked in the parking lot!"

"What? Who?"

"Yaar Anika! That was Rudra Singh Oberoi whom you kicked in the stomach at the end!"

"WHAT!!" Anika yelled as the helmet fell from her hand. "Are you sure?"

"200% sure! You did not just kicked Rudra Singh Oberoi, you kicked our fortune as well. Now he won't even want to see us, forget about the interview and say goodbye to our jobs!" Mishka cried as she shook Anika back and forth.

"Let's get back there!" Anika and Mishka immediately drove back to the restaurant to see if Rudra was still there but as Mishka had said, that it was their worst day, Rudra was not there, neither he was close by, when the reached there.

********************************

Shivaay still hadn't reached the office. The usual route he takes to office was blocked for some reason, so he had to take the long way. The car entered an area which was surrounded by greenery and there was a board on the side of the road indicating that it was a private property.

Interested, Shivaay looked out of the window. Surrounded by green trees, there was this huge and magnificent mansion in the middle of it. It was beautiful, exceptionally beautiful. Something that Shivaay wanted to be his. So he asked the driver to stop the car at the entrance gate of the mansion.

A cool breeze caressed Shivaay's face as he stepped out of the car. He walked towards the main gate, the mansion looked amazing from there. The nameplate read, "MahiSagar Mansion".

Shivaay wondered whose property it was. Was it available for sale or will the owner sell it to him? Because he definitely wanted to buy it.
