She was working on her laptop when her Boss placed a photograph on her table. One look at the photo and her eyes got stuck at it. Her pretty mouth fell open. With trembling hand she took up the photo in her and closed her eyes with joy. She blushed furiously and shyly nodded.
Mr. Abraham Pretrarch aka the Bomb, the head of the office narrowed his eyes.
Bomb: Miss Vividha Kashyap! May I know why are you getting so happy and nodding?
Vividha shyly looked at him and spoke up in a meek voice.
Vividha: I am ready sir.
Bomb: Ready for what?
Vividha: I am ready to marry him.
The Bomb sighed and looked upon at one of the ace journalist his newspaper possess. But he is seriously doubting if he is supposed to feel fortunate in any way.
Bomb- Down to earth Miss Kashyap! I am not running a matrimony office! This is office. I am your boss. And I am giving you a task. This is Capt. Ravish Vashisht. Pride of Indian Army and you are going to fetch us an interview.
Vividha's sat at her desk feeling dejected. But at the next moment she perked up. At least she is going to meet him. And who knows she might actually get this handsome hunk to marry her? With the happy thought she opened her desk drawer and pulled out a lollipop and poured it in her mouth. Once upon a time one Devil Saint has said, "When in sour mood, think of a smexy man and eat a lollipop" (NO PRICE FOR GUESSING WHO THAT TADKEWALI SAINT IS😉) .. And this is what her motto is..

Ravish finished his workout and drill session with his teammates when a soldier came and informed him that Major is asking about him. With a nod and a goodbye he went to his Major's office. After finishing the formalities Major Ashwuin Hudda looked up to him.
Major: So, how's things going Captain?
Ravish: It's going good sir. Thank you.
Major: Listen, I have a task for you. A reporter from a renowned newspaper coming here to take an interview of yours. I want you to handle the matter properly. This is very important for us. Stay diplomatic. You are way too much honest. Try to crop it a bit.
Ravish scratched his head. If anything he fear that is reporters. But how can he deny his Major's order?
Ravish: Okay sir.
When he came out the soldier who brought him to Major kindly informed him and the journalist came and waiting for him. With a heavy sigh he headed for the waiting room. When he reached there he found no one waiting for him. Except one half eaten lollipop loosely wrapped in a transparent wrapper. He frowned. The journalist brought a kid too? He took the lollipop in hand and turn it over. It was of strawberry flavor.
The clicking sound of high heel brought him out of his thought reel. He looked up and stopped at his tracks. She was wearing a red shirt and grey skirt with pencil hill. Her hair was tied in a pony and she had a black full rimmed glass upon her tiny nose. She was looking exactly like the lollipop Ravish had in his hand. Ravish shook out the thought immediately. From where that weird thought came in his mind? Subconsciously he chanted the mantra his mother taught him when he was young which wards off the evil.
"Altu jalaltu ayi bala ko taal tu!"
He send a quick prayer to his Ganpati bappa and gulped.
Today the miracle happened. The Lazy Kashyap got up around 5, got ready at jet's speed and ran to the Army Academy Mumbai base just to catch her recent and 2nd crush. Well her first one is and will always be Ian Somerholder. No one can beat him nah na! As she sat in the waiting room she opened her purse and brought out her partner who till now never let her down aka the lollipop box. From there she choose the strawberry one. And COINCIDENTLY the color matched her dress, Hehehe. In middle of blissed silence time when she was enjoying her candy time, her idiot pain in the ass younger sister had to call and break it! UNACCEPTABLE!! She fondly wrapped the candy back and went to attend the call. Her sister wanted to know if she met the Handsome Hunk. She gently reminded her that only she Vividha Kashyap can droll over him. And no she didn't meet him YET.
After ending the call when she came back, she found the man of her dream already there. He was wearing a plain white t-shirt which was clung to him like second skin due to sweats. And those muscles! Damn all the man to hell! Especially a certain Captain Vashisht! She closed her eyes and pout. Then quickly send a prayer to her Ganu Bappa.
Vividha (in mind): What is this Bappa! Why are you doing this to me! Every day I give one of my lollipops on your offer na! Do you even realize how much it hurts to give up one of my Lolli! Now I will have to betray my Ian and send him to the 2nd position of my list of crush. Because this Ravish Vashisht can never be put into second position ever!
The next moment her eyes fall on her half eaten lollipop which at the exact moment was on Ravish's hand. Her whole world turned red. All of her thought got focused on that Lolli of hers. No One. Ever. Touch. Her. Lollies.
She stormed to Ravish and snatched the Lollipop from his hand!
Vividha: How dare you touch my Lollipop! It's mine!
In midst Ravish tried to say something but Vividha cut him off.
Vividha (Cont.): I know what you are going to say. But how you will know the value of one lollipop! This is not just a lifeless object! This is THE LOLLIPOP! My life force! I mean human being's life force! So many poets have written poems of Lollipop! How many great artists have made world famous sculpture and paintings! Do you?
Seeing an opportunity Ravish decided to ask the most important question that's bugging him.
Ravish: They did made poetry, sculpture and paintings on lollipop! Who are they?
Vividha: Ehhmm. Not they. Just one person. But she is a brilliant and talented multitasker. And that's me. But don't you dare to change the topic! Why did you touched my lollipop! The man who cannot protect a poor lollipop, how on earth he saves the country with such bravery is beyond my understanding.
Without giving Ravish another chance to say something she stormed out of the waiting room and didn't stop until she reached her car. But when she reached there, she literary wished the earth to open and shallow her.
She slapped her forehead. Stupid, idiot, dumb Vividha! As always she overreacted. He just hold her lollipop! Surely he was not going to eat that! Also she just kissed a good bye to her job by insulting an army man! Surely he will not complain to her boss. Will he? May be no. But her boss will sue her if she can't get an interview! She pouted and get into the car. But the image of Ravish Vashisht and his strong and heavily intense eyes kept haunting her.
In the meantime in the waiting room Ravish's phone rang. He was too stunned to even move. So, the ringing of his phone brought him out of his stunned state. Before pulling the phone out of his pocket, he noticed the candy wrapper which was still on his hand. A cute smile pooped up at his handsome face. Before attending the call he kept the wrapper in his pocket as if it was something precious and muttered "Lollipop Girl" ...
Is it the ending? Didn't they meet again? If yes, then what happened in their 2nd meeting? Or more specifically how they met for the second time?😉
For now it's a One Shot. But if you want, I might turn it into a SS. But the Key Line is- If you want..😆
Don't forget to comment after reading.. 😳
