PART 3
Entering the gates of his coffee estate, a small smile tugged at Milind's lips as he remembered the girl near the lake. He had never seen a girl blush so much. She looked horrified turning red like a cherry when she realised that he had caught her checking him out. Milind gave a short laugh. Female appreciation is something he is quite used to. Born and bought up in London, 24 year old Milind Mishra is the apple of his parent's (Anand and Shweta Mishra) eyes, only heir to the multi-billionaire empire consisting of shipping, hotel and steel industry, ranking in the top 10 wealthiest people in the world. Handsome, rich, intelligent, arrogant and with an attitude, he had the world at his feet. Girls were ready to throw themselves at his feet at the click of his fingers. But he played safe, very safe. No one would reach his heart. The one person who knows him inside out is his best mate and brother, actually cousin brother, Vicky , short for Vikram, son of his mother's sister, equally handsome in his own way. Vicky was born exactly a week before Milind. Perhaps the longest 7 days in his life without Milind at his side. With Vicky's father, a major share holder in Mishra group of companies, they grew up together, went to school together and basically did everything together. Only thing they did separately was girls, they both had their own choice and always respected each other's privacy. Without much need for words, they understood each other completely, so tuned to each other's moods and feelings, they could pass for un-identical twins. Their parents were amazed at the bond they shared. Even now, Milind was interested in taking over their shipping and hotel industry in India, and Vicky followed suit. Blessed with a shrewd business mind, Milind wanted to study the industry first before plunging full fledged into it. So he and Vicky is touring all their offices in India. Having done with north India, they are in the south and taking a much deserved break in Ooty at one of their coffee estates. As milind handed his stallion to the stable hand, Vicky drove in. They greeted eachother, slapping each other's back.
"So, bro, how was your evening"? asked Vicky. "Oh, fine mate. Just a usual day with a few girls checking me out" smirked Milind, omitting to fill him on the details. Discussing their plans for the next day over dinner, they eventually went to bed. His last thought were of a pair of beautiful brown eyes before sleep lulled him. "Cherry Girl" murmuring, he went into a deep slumber.
The next morning dawned bright and clear. After a unrestful night, prachi unusually woke up quite late. With a will to forget last evening, she went down quickly. With the smell of freshly brewed coffee filling her senses, she entered the kitchen and hugged premlatha from behind "Good morning, mama".
"Good morning, beta. You slept till late this morning. Are you feeling alright? Caressing her cheek, premlatha asked concernedly. "I am fine mama, just tired after walking a long distance yesterday".
"Then you should just stay at home and take rest beta" walked in Inder. "Nahi Papa, ab mein theek hoon. Waise bhi, lisa theen baje aa jayegi mujhe pick up karne key liye" ( I am alright now. Anyway, Lisa will be here at 3 pm to pick me up).
Inder agreed and as he suggested, all three had a lazy morning in front of the TV. Prachi had a very light breakfast as she knew she would eat quite a lot at the party. Dressed up in a long white skirt with light embroidery and a light yellow short sleeved top with a tie at the front, her hair left open and wearing short heeled yellow shoes, she looked bright and pretty and awaited eagerly for Lisa to turn up. An unknown excitement filled her.
Lisa turned up just before 3 pm on her scooty. Dressed in a pale blue jeans and a white top , she looked pretty. Complimenting on each other's dress, they set out for Peter's cottage. It was on the other side of the lake, placed slightly high on the slopes, it had a fantastic view. Prachi had been there once and absolutely loved it. Neelam was fiddling with the music system, when they walked it and giving a delightful scream, she hugged both of them warmly. The men were in the back garden getting the barbeque ready. Lisa went straight into Peter's waiting arms and both were soon whispering how much they missed each other. "Come on guys, I thought that you hadn't seen each other only for three days" Prachi rolled her eyes. Giving a sheepish grin, Peter quickly greeted Prachi. Rishi and Suraj were already there and soon they got busy setting up everything.
Prachi was in the kitchen with Lisa picking up tongs when she heard a knock on the door and then voices greeting each other and knew that Peter's other friends had arrived. As they walked back into the garden, she drew in a stunned breath. There, standing right in front of her, was Mr. Greek God, the man on the horse, she saw the previous evening. He was dressed casually in jeans and a green t-shirt. "Ohhhhh", swooned Lisa nudging prachi's shoulders, "look who we have here". Milind was equally stunned to see them.
Peter soon introduced him and Vicky to everyone. He met Milind and Vicky at a hotel industry conference in Mumbai three months ago and stuck up a very good rapport with them. They have become fast friends after they met again in Chennai where Peter had just started a 3 * hotel. He admired Milind, though he came from such a wealthy family, he was very easy to get along with and respected him for his insight and ideas in the business sector.
Peter introduced Prachi and Lisa to them. Both of them greeted Lisa warmly and congratulated on her impending engagement. "So, Cherry girl is Peter's fiancee's friend, interesting" thought Milind letting his eyes take in her appearance from head to toe. Prachi was trying to look everywhere else but him, murmuring a quick hello. He grinned at her discomfort. Soon, they were all chatting away quite amicably, as Milind and Vicky joined the men. Lisa came across as a sweet natured girl and was quite easy to talk to and Milind could see why his friend was head over heals in love with her. But Prachi seems to be a much quieter person, he thought musingly. It was interesting to see the effort she put in to avoid him completely, while chatting with everyone else. "Oh well, there is a whole evening and Milind Mishra could bring any one out of their shell". He would take one step at a time. This girl intrigued him very much. He knew that she was pretty, but seeing her in such close quarters, she was absolutely beautiful with minimal make up. Her yellow top and skirt was delightful to the eye and made her look as fresh as a flower. Suddenly, he couldn't wait to get to know her better.
The roasting lamb and chicken made everyone hungry. After gulping down most of it, everyone settled down with their drinks with the soft music playing in the background. Prachi knew that this is like the calmness before the storm. Soon, the loud music will start and they will start dancing, coupled with drinks flowing free and might go well into the night. But she would be home before all that starts.
Lisa had settled next to Peter comfortably resting her head on his shoulder. Prachi smiled at the couple and walked away slightly. Walking to the edge of the garden, She leaned slightly on the fence. It was a beautiful and warm evening. You could still see the streaks of sunrays at the distant horizon. Prachi was excited , confused and scared at the same time. She never thought that she would see him again, and that too this soon. Lisa was right that he was from abroad, and she was baffled to know that he was so wealthy. It is not everyday that you meet multibillionaires. The way he checked her out from head to toe still made her shiver.
"Hey Prachi" leaning slightly next to her milind startled her. The way he drawled on her name gave her goosebumps. Her cheeks turning pink, she mumbled "Hey". Milind chuckled softly, "you know, the way you blush and turn red like a cherry, I aptly named you the cherry girl".
"I don't blush" said a very indignant prachi.
"Oh, really, may be its just me who has that effect on you" Milind drawled leaning close to her.
"What an attitude" thought Prachi. "God, you seem to have a very high opinion of yourself". Suddenly she wanted to get away from there. "Its so beautiful here. I was just going to take a walk".
"Absolutely, it would be a shame not to, Shall we"?
Prachi frowned at him, "I don't remember inviting you along".
"I just invited myself. Don't tell me that you are scared to walk with me".
"Of course not, lets go" Prachi said sharply.
Milind knew that winding her up would have the desired effect ,grinning, he swept his hand "After you, Mam". He opened the fence gate and they walked out. Lisa looked up to see them go out "Good, a little bit of loosening up would do Prachi a lot of good" thought Lisa and smiling snuggled back into Peter's arms.
