Hello friends,
I finally decided to pen down another FF. This story has been floating in my mind for a while and I thought I should write it down before KYM ends. Hope you will give it a read and leave your comments.
I am not sure how many updates it will take to conclude this FF though I am sure it won't be a long one.
And yes, this is not the dark Michi love story I had discussed with a couple of people here. This FF will be written mostly in English to help readers who don't understand Hindi and also for the mere fact that it would suit Milind's background in this FF.

You are THE one
Part 1

"She is the one, Gentlemen. What if she doesn't have any previous experience? Her education records are great; she has the right attitude and she will be an asset for our company" Milind announced his decision to the selection committee.

Milind Mishra was choosing the research analyst for his company. He was the co-owner of "M3" (Mishra and Mansoor Mobiles) group of companies, which had its headquarters in Bangalore. Milind and his team had interviewed 12 candidates that day and the last one was Prachi Shah. While everyone in the interviewing committee was impressed with Prachi's educational records and her sharp and foresighted answers, her lack of previous experience had many of them doubt her abilities. But Milind wanted to hire someone who could think beyond the norms and to him she was the best of all candidates. She had a master's degree from the Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore (IIMB) and being an alumnus of Harvard business school, Milind knew what it meant to graduate from IIMB.

Milind had been a go-getter in his life. He had lost his mother when his sister Sukruti was born. His father, who took care of him and his sister, had died of tuberculosis when Milind was just 18. But hardships had only made Milind stronger and at a very young age he had learnt to multitask and take responsibilities in his hand. Both Milind and Sukruti were good at studies and the scholarships they got awarded reduced the financial burden on them. Sukruti had studied engineering at IIT (Indian Institute of Technology), Delhi, and earned job in a leading software company. She had recently married her colleague Saket Sharma whom she fell in love with. Milind had studied undergraduate education in business management in his hometown Mumbai and worked for a company for a couple of years. Soon his ambitions, will power and focussed hard work had taken him to Harvard Business School. During his MBA, Milind and his classmate Ali Mansoor had planned to open a company in Bangalore. They chose the booming mobile phone market in India to start with financed by Ali's father initially. With two hard working prudent youngsters, the company had gained success and in 5 years it had grown large enough to employ hundreds of people in 5 branches across India. The headquarters remained in Bangalore, which was Ali's native place.

Ali agreed to Milind's decision to hire Prachi Shah and when the two chiefs had agreed the rest of the committee agreed too. Milind asked his secretary to send the appointment letter to Prachi Shah. That day Milind had to pick Sukruti from the airport as she was coming to visit him from Delhi with her husband Saket. As he started to the airport he noticed a woman missing the airport bus as she was late by a few seconds. Soon it registered in his mind that the woman was none other than Prachi Shah. He then had noticed her failed attempts to get an auto rickshaw to take her to the airport.

"Hello, Prachi" Milind had said sliding down the window of his car.

"Hello Sir" Prachi had wished him recognizing him.

"Looks like you have missed your airport bus and autos aren't allowed near the airport. But I am driving to the airport now to receive my sister. I wouldn't mind dropping you there" Milind had offered to drive her to the airport.

Prachi didn't really want to agree to his offer but didn't know how to refuse either. As she didn't say anything clearly for a few seconds Milind himself said "If you fear I am going to kidnap you, I am not going to convince you otherwise. Get in before the signal turns green. If not, I hope your bus arrives soon or you could take a taxi from the corporation circle".

Prachi gave a tiny smile and got into the car thanking him. Milind had smiled too seeing her getting in. He told her he had a sister named Sukruti who works as a software engineer in Delhi and she was coming for Diwali along with her husband. Prachi told that she was going back to her hometown Delhi and she had just come to Bangalore for the interview.

"Do you think you will get this job?" Milind had questioned her.

"To tell you honestly, I am not too confident. I have no previous experience and that would go against me. But if I still get it, I would be really pleased". Prachi had given an honest reply.

Milind didn't want to give away that she had indeed secured the job though he felt like making her happy by breaking her the good news. "I wish you good luck" he had said as he took a turn to enter the highway that lead to the airport.

"Why do you want to find a job in Bangalore while your hometown is Delhi?" Milind seemed to be interviewing her again.

"I have applied for jobs in Delhi too. But when I saw the advert from your company I wanted a give it a try. As I told you in the interview I had researched on your company during my MBA. I would be comfortable working here as I do have some knowledge of how your company has come up and how it functions. Your company would be my first choice" Prachi tried to give him a convincing reason though she had other reasons she didn't want to give away.

Sukruti's airplane had arrived 15 minutes before time and she had given her brother a call which he hadn't received as his mobile was silent. By then, Milind had reached the airport with Prachi and was walking in and saw Sukruti and Saket walking towards them.

"Bhaiya" Sukruti had come running hugging her brother while Saket had shook hands with his brother in law. Prachi had taken their leave then after Milind introduced her to Sukruti and Saket. Milind told Sukruti and Saket that Prachi was going to be offered the job as he drove them home.

"Hmm, you always prefer beautiful women around you. But Bhaiya, when will one of those be honoured as my Bhabhi?" Sukruti asked her brother in one of her 100 different ways when he was to marry as they all sat sipping their coffee.

"Saket, tell your wife not to trap me into the institution of marriage. As if torturing you isn't enough, she wants me to put myself in this prison too" Saket and Milind had a good laugh teasing Sukruti.

"This is why I need another woman in our family. You men always gang up on me" Sukruti had walked off to the kitchen annoyed.

Sukruti had really wanted her brother to marry someone and settle down. She always felt her brother needed someone to take care of him, someone to share his life with. She had often tried to introduce women to him but he never had taken them seriously. There were many women that she knew who would have happily married him but the biggest problem was convincing him. Praying to God to find a nice woman for her brother, Sukruti opened the fridge to check if there were vegetables to cook something for the evening.

By that time, seated in the plane to Delhi, Prachi took a long breath relieving her of all the nervousness she went through during her interview and the drive to the airport.

Hi Michifanreal, I like the way you have started your FF. Milind comes across as quite a down to earth guy even though he is the owner of such a large business empire. The bond that he shares with his sister is really sweet. Prachi also seems to be an ambitious girl, maybe with a few hidden agendas - yeah?
I look forward to reading your updates.
Thanks
Niki
