2. ATTRACTED

Shahleena's P.O.V

Damn! I kicked my flat tire angrily unable to believe this was happening to me. I yelled at my driver for being so irresponsible as I was already so annoyed when the waiter got on my nerves by asking for my order. I mean I have been visiting this damn restaurant for years and they know what I usually have. How dare can he ask me to dictate his menu?

Well as stated by my Doctor, I patiently ordered what I would like to have for lunch but he messed it up by bringing someone else’s order to my table. That was the last straw that leads to a series of events and finally, I got him fired from the restaurant. I don't wish to see him next time when I come here for my meals.

"I am sorry, Madam." He said in a trembling voice.

"Go and arrange something for me. I have to reach home before evening." I yelled and he disappeared. I sat waiting as I pulled my mobile and got busy chatting to my college friends.

The driver returned with an Auto and I was fuming at him. I slapped him angrily and yelled at the auto driver who left me in the middle of nowhere. The sun was setting and it wasn't safe to stay outdoors.

"Are you insane?! How can I travel in an Auto?" I demanded as the driver informed me about the taxi strike and he tried calling home but no one was receiving.

"Idiot! Arrange some car for me." I stomped my feet angrily and he disappeared promising to arrange something. I sat on the top chewing the bubble gum as I tried to keep myself occupied by making big bubbles waiting for him to arrive but I was surprised when a car stopped right in front of me and a handsome young man stepped out.

"May I help you?" He asked and she couldn't believe how amazingly handsome he was. He was tall, fair, and well-built with curly black hair. He was dressed decently in a dark purple suit with serious brown eyes, a straight nose, and full luscious lips. His smile brought a deep dimple at the left side of his cheek and he appeared welcoming. Who would refuse such a handsome hunk's help?

"I had a flat tire and I sent my driver to get a car," I explained acting to be a damsel in distress. I enjoyed attention from boys but this boy hardly seems to care as he got busy checking my car.

"I can drop you somewhere if you wish." He offered nicely too which I nodded eagerly. We needed a little introduction and once when he comes to know who I am, he will be mesmerized as others do.

"Sure, I would love to." And I was sitting beside him on the passenger seat. He was silent as he drove so I thought I should start with an introduction though I anticipated he would as it's a short trip and this will take the conversation ahead. This was the first time she had to take an initiative.

"I am Shahleena Bakhtiyaar. You might have heard of me." I said nicely hoping him to go wide-eyed and surprised but he shrugged his head.

"No, I didn't." He said casually but he added looking at me from top to bottom. "Looks like you are famous."

"I am very popular in this town," I said proudly as it was my favourite part of sharing my name to people and see them go berserk over it but it didn't affect this person much. Again there was silence as I came up with another question. Weird.

"How about you? Is this your car?"

"No, it's rent a car. I don't have a car." He said and I was surprised. I have never known anyone without a car and how was she deceived by this person's appearance as she wondered if he belonged to some low sector or poor background as he doesn't own a car. I mean it's nothing to own a car.

"Really. Where do you work?" I probed hoping he would let out his secret.

"I work in Europe." He replied and that satisfied me as my interest in him increased few notches.

"Really? What do you work as?"

"Supervise. I supervise a small company." He replied and again I was taken aback. I looked out of the window silently as he kept giving me knowingly glances and a secret smile which I ignored. I just wanted to get out of this car and under his presence as he was not even close to what I expected. Shahleena Bakhtiyaar never made adjustments. Never!

I disliked people from the low category and everything about this man showed he didn't belong to where I did. I don't know why I was unusually attracted to him and his personality but I had to stay away and use my head instead of my hormones which were creating havoc. I was already drooling over him as this hasn't happened before and I didn't know what was the reason behind all this? I cannot end up falling for some middle-class geek no matter how handsome and approachable he looked.

Noway, did I thought that he would end up being my better half and he had lots of surprises in store for me which made my world tumble and collapse as I came face to face which realities that I thought never existed.
