CHAPTER 2
“My lovely mom, will you please speak in English.” I asked her
“My baby, I always speak English while talking to you.” Mom said with the same cheesy tone just like me.
“Ok fine! Mila, finish it and come with me.”
“Mila, baby you go with her or else she will get mad and will also make us mad.” Mom said and they both laughed, and I scrunched my nose while listening to her.
“Sometimes I feel like I am not your daughter.”
“Because mom and dad adopted you silly” and here comes my brother, stupid brother.
“Oh hello! You are adopted, I am not. Mom, tell him to shut his mouth or else I will beat him” I threatened him in front of my mom.
“Rehan” dad’s voice came, and we all understood that he is serious. Whenever he calls us by our real name, that means he is serious. Rehan understood that and sat on the chair, and I smirked on his reaction.
“Sia Deewan” Dad called again. I took Mila with me, and before I ran out, I grabbed two sandwiches. One for me and one for Mila.
“Where are we going?”
“Going shopping”
“And what do you want this time?”
“I want to buy that pair of shoes for Rehan. His birthday is coming, remember?”
“Yes, I do remember.”
“So what are you planning to buy him this time?”
“A smart watch.”
“Hmmm….. That’s the good idea. We would also buy us one piece, tops and shorts.”
“I knew it. Ok then let’s go” she said. I drove fast and we quickly reached the mall within 10 min.
We both love fast speed and crazy things. Remember I told you? We both are crazy.
“Mila, you go to a watch section, I go to a shoe section. Then we will meet on our favorite girls’ spot. Okay?”
“Okay”
We both went to the different stores. I went inside and asked the sales manager to pack the pair of Nike shoes which my brother liked last time. But he told me that someone else already bought it. I asked him who bought it. He signaled to the guy standing in second row and showed me the guy.
“Don’t you have another pair?”
“No dear! It was the last piece in stock.”
“Can’t you order it again?”
“We already did that, but the order will take some time.”
“How much time it would take?”
“a month or two”
“No, I can’t wait for that long.”
“Then I would suggest you to talk to that guy”
“Ok thank you”
This manager knows me and my family. Once upon a time, there was a penniless man. He didn’t have money to buy something to eat or to pay rent for his house. One day a gentleman came into his life. By fate, the gentleman’s wallet dropped on the street and went from there and that needy man saw this. When he took his wallet from the road and saw inside it, there was lots of cash but he didn’t take that money. Instead of taking and using it, he returns that wallet to the owner. The gentleman was impressed by his effort and invites him inside for lunch. When the needy person initiated to tell his tale, the gentleman rewarded him by giving him a permanent job in one of the well-known malls and giving him some money as well. For that needy man, he is his god, his lifesaver. After that, he lives his life happily.
That needy person is The manager and that gentleman is my Dad. That’s why he knows me and my family. He always treats me as his daughter. His daughter is also our friend. sometimes she also came to my residence to visit me and my family. She is a sweet girl with lots of ambitions in her eyes. Her name is Ditya Mahajan. Currently, she is in London for studying business. She achieves a scholarship there. We all are so proud of her.
By thinking all this, I stood behind that guy who purchased that shoes.
“Excuse me”
I spoke up and he turned around to glance. By looking at him I must say he is one hell-hot guy I saw in my life. He is looking so fascinating. His abs textures can be seen through his shirt and his chest. Such a sexy jawline. His pink lips. Chocolate brown eyes, muscular body.
“Yes miss?” he asked me
“Ummm, actually I want these shoes, will you please not pay for them and give them to me.”
“But I already purchased it. I am sorry.”
“Don’t worry, instead of these shoes I will buy you another pair of shoes. But I want this only.”
First, he look at me with a cold expression and then all of a sudden he said “No” and then turn around to look for another pair. What the hell, he refused my request huh? No one dared to say no to me and here is he. You don’t know Mr. who am I. Now, wait and watch.
I started my drama by crying. He turned around and look at me with an anxious expression.
“Hey, hey why are you crying?”
“Because I want these shoes only. My brother liked this pair of shoes only when we came last time. His birthday is coming and I want to gift him these shoes only. It’s his last birthday with us.”
“Why last birthday? Is he going somewhere?”
“Yes, he is going to India and he will never come back and I love my brother so much that I……I…..” I stuttered and began to cry.
“I am so sorry to hear that. Please take these shoes. I will purchase another one. Please don’t cry.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes….. take it,” he said and handed over those shoes.
“Thank you so much. I appreciated. How much?”
“No, it’s ok. You can take it.”
“I want to gift my brother, so you have to take it. Wait, manager uncle will you pack these shoes for me, please pack the best pair of shoes for him and I will pay you.”
“Hey, you don’t have to……”
“Take my card uncle. Bye dear”
I said and after payment, I left from there. I can be a good actress. But the poor guy, he doesn’t know that I have an immature sibling, not an elder one. What a hectic day oh god! But at least I bought it for my idiot brother.
“Hey Mila, where are you?”
“I am in the XYZ showroom already, come quickly”
“Alright.” I disconnected the call and went to the showroom. Before I go there I saw an old lady who is going to slip because of a peal.
“Wait, wait…..” I said and hold her before she fell.
“Are you alright Ma’am?”
“Yes dear I am fine, thank you so much for supporting me.”
“Sakshi, are you ok?”
When she said thank you, an old man came and I think she is his wife. The old man looks like my father’s age.
“Ma’am, are you sure you okay? You want some medical assistance?”
“No, no my dear I am fine. Ritesh, she helped me. I was about to fall but at the right time she came.”
“Oh my dear, thank you so much for helping her.”
“No, it’s ok sir. It’s fine.”
“What’s your name dear?”
“Sia Deewan”
“Deewan, the Yash Deewan’s daughter?”
“Yes Sir”
“Oh my god, I didn’t know that Yash has a lovely daughter.”
“Sorry, do you know my Dad?”
“Of course, my child, Yash and I are business partners. I came here with my family to celebrate my Eldest son’s birthday. I wanted to invite him and his family but I lost my phone when our plane landed and most of the contacts I lost. I already told my Assistant to send me Yash’s number but he is too thickheaded in working and here you are, his daughter”
“It’s nice to meet you, sir. I can give you dad’s number don’t be distressed. Why don’t you come tonight for dinner? When is your son’s birthday?”
“Next week on the 25th.”
“Really? That day is my brother’s birthday as well.”
“Wow, that’s great. We will join you tonight then”
“Great, thanks. I will inform my dad.”
“Perfect!”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“Sorry, I didn’t ask your name”
“I am sorry I didn’t introduce myself. I am Ritesh Khanna and she is my wife Sakshi Khanna”
“Made for each other,” I said and my phone rang. It’s Mila’s phone.
“I think I should leave. My best friend is waiting for me.”
“Ok dear, bye. Take care.”
“You too sir and ma’am”
I bid bye and came to the showroom. Mila was waiting for me. I told her what occurred just now, she said I did the right thing to invite them today. I called my dad and notified him that his partner is here in Los Angeles and I invited him to tonight at dinner. He was very happy with my gesture and said he will also call him. I informed mom as well. She said to buy some groceries and I told Mila about it. she said she will take care of it. After doing lots of shopping, we went to the supermarket and buy groceries and then back home.
