Saurabh's POV
Constant ringing of alarm woke me up from my slumber. I saw the time, it's 5:45 a.m. Switching it off I went to bathroom to brush my teeth and after finishing my morning business I went to do my morning exercise.
I came back to my room drenched in sweat and headed towards the bathroom. After having a shower, I went to the closest next to my bathroom and wore a formal suit. I fix my hair and I wore my watch which was gifted by my dadaji last year.
[Grandfather]
Getting ready I headed downwards for breakfast. Today I have two important events - First, a very important meeting through which we can get a big deal and Second, receiving Jasmine from airport.
---------------------------------------
I got down from my car and my sight went to the building infront of me 'Khurana Industries', which was started by my grandfather. I entered the building and my employees greeted me with respect. I acknowledge them with a nod and a small smile. I enter my cabin and my secretary, Pranay, followed me.
He inform me about today's schedule and I clear the schedule after the meeting as I have to receive Jasmine from airport. Otherwise she will beat the shit out of me into my office in front of my employees. Can't take risk.
I shook my head at the horrible thought.
Last year when she visited my office, she smacked my head in front of my employees. Thanks to god that there were not many employees around me. Nahi toh Boss hone ki kya ijjat reh jaati meri.
[Otherwise what respect would I have left being a boss.]
After sometime the time for the meeting arrive. I headed towards the conference room. We anyhow have to crack this deal as it can be very profitable for us and can also make Khurana Industries reach up to heights. Also this is my dream project for which I am working from many months.
---------------------------------------
Finally ! Finally the hard work of mine and my employees paid. We got the deal. Tomorrow investors will come and signing of deal will happen. I am surely going to throw a party after this.
After all Khurana's got this project.
I messaged Naksh about our success. Today I was on cloud nine.
I was in my own happiness when I caught the sight of watch and realisation hit me that I have to go to airport. Leaving the coat, I took my phone and car keys and headed outside or practically run.
When I was about to open the door of my car, my phone ringing stop me. It's Naksh Ahuja, my bestfriend.
On call~
Naksh-Congrats bro finally you have cracked the deal.
Me- Thanks. (I replied happily.)
Naksh - Bhai, party toh banti hai.
[Brother]
Me- Of course I will throw a party. I said while sitting inside the car.
Naksh - Not that one I am telling to give me party specially.
Me - And why should I do that.
Naksh- Because you are my best friend and dost ki success mein toh tujhe mujhe party deni chahiye.
[In friend's success you should give me a party]
Me- Okay, Okay . I replied not wanting to stretch the conversation because I am already getting late.
Naksh- Good, then I will come to you now and we will go to my favourite restaurant. Okay .
Me- No, not today I am not free.
Naksh - Why? As far as I know there is no meeting nor you are going out with your family then?
Me- Arey, I have to go to airport.
Naksh- Are you going somewhere? If it's nice place then I will also come.
Me- No. I am not going in fact I am going to receive someone.
Naksh- Who?
Me- Jasmine.
Naksh- WHAT! (He yelled.) Jasmine is coming to India and you are telling me now !
Me- Why are you shouting so much I just forgot to inform you.
Naksh- You just forgot! Kutte, Kamine, gaddar, dhokhebaaz —
[ You dog, bastard, traitor, cheator —]
Before he can continue cursing me I disconnect his call. Why to hyper so much I just forgot to inform him. Oh, did I forgot to mention that he has a crush on Jasmine. Last time when she visited India, Naksh 'fell in love at first sight' his words not mine.
I put on my side belt and drive towards the destination.
At airport, I was searching for Jasmine when I spotted her at corner near a pillar. I walk in her direction and sensing my presence she wave a hand at me with a grin and I wave back. Then she run towards me and engulf me in a hug. After getting apart I ask her "How are you?"
"I am fine. What about you?" she asked energetically as if she didn't travel long way.
"I am fine." I replied.
I took her suitcase and said, " Let's go. We can continue our talk in car and why did you brought two suitcase ? Kahi pura ghar to pack nahi kiya n." I joked looking at the two suitcases.
[Don't tell me you have packed whole house.]
"No, I didn't pack whole house and for your kind information I already told you that I am bringing someone with me you dumbo. Already forgot ?" she replied.
Oh yeah! I almost forgot it.
" Okay then, where is your someone?" I asked her.
" Yeah , she went to the washroom."
"She?"
"Yupp."
"Jasmine"
A sweet voice caught our attention and I look back only to get mesmerized seeing her. There was a girl wearing white top and jeans. Her black hair open, flowing behind her back. Her black eyes looking at us. She put a stand of her hair behind her ear that came in front of her face because of wind. I was practically lost in admiring her.
After this only one word came out of my mouth, "Beautiful."
" Aaa , there comes my darling." She ran towards her only to drag her towards me.
Darling? Why do I think I saw her somewhere ?
"Saurabh meet my darling, my bestie. She is from Italy." Jasmine squeal with excitement as she introduce her.
"At least greet her." When I didn't respond she hit my shoulder and I came back to my senses.
I forwarded my hand towards the girl infront of me as Jasmine called her darling and greeted her in Italian as she is from there.
" Ciao, darling."
[Hello, Darling]
