Na Bangaram (Pranushka)

Chapter 5

Rana's Pov:

"Ugh, Dad, do I need to do this? Can't you just handle it today," I mumbled to my dad as he leads me to the office room. 

"Noru musuko, How will you be able to take care of the business when I hand it over to you if you can't even sit through one business meeting." I just sigh in response to that as I pull open the doors to find a girl sitting there.

She looks up from the laptop screen she was focusing on, her hair in perfect curls falling all over her gorgeous face. 

"Wow," I thought to myself. 

She stands up to shake my dad's hand and then turns to me. 

"Hi, I am Miheeka," she says while reaching out her hand to me. I shake her hands and man they are so soft. 

She was wearing a sleeveless dusty pink dress that ended below her knees. She had on a pair of silver heels to match the dress. Her hair was down in loose curls and she smelt like sweet coconut. 

I snapped out of my trance to say hi. She gave me a weird look and then we all sat down.

"So here is the presentation of the project we are going to be starting in exactly a week, the team lead will have a meeting with you tomorrow to go over the rest of the details." 

She talked for almost 30 minutes but to me, it felt like a second had passed. Finally, she closed the laptop and stood up. 

"Thanks for your time. I hope to hear again from you soon." She said while placing her laptop in her white Chanel bag.

Just then my mom calls my dad and he runs out after saying bye to her. Then it was just us two. 

"I saw you checking me out," she says with a slight smirk. 

"I know I am hot but focus on the meeting next time." She starts walking out and lightly bumping into me as she leaves the door. 

I stand there in awe and fall into my chair. Giggling to myself like a 13-year-old girl. 

Finally, I get the courage to leave the room to find my friends outside waiting for me. I just stand there and they look at me in confusion. 

"How did the meeting go bro," Prabhas asks me. I don't reply. Chay starts shaking me. 

"You okay?" I start telling them about the meeting. Prabhas starts teasing me, 

"Someone has a crushhhh."

"Shut up," I say and walk outside to get some fresh air.

Anushka's Pov:

"Ya I know," I nod at Shriya. 

I take a sip from the water bottle in my hand and when I look to my right, I see Shriya's dad and some girl talking.

"Is that the girl who came for business," I ask Shriya. 

She nods back. They shake hands and are in a full-blown conversation laughing and everything. 

I am no longer listening to Shriya's now, my complete attention is to that girl. She is beautiful and I suddenly feel a little insecure. 

She has on a flowy pink dress with a pair of heels, I have to give it to her, she has good style.

"Anushka, one sec," Shriya taps on my arm and grabs her phone, and leaves. 

She's always leaving to take some calls and when I ask her about it she just brushes it off. 

Whatever.

"For sure Aunty," I hear the girl call out. She walks over to where I'm standing by the food. 

She grabs a plate and I grab one behind her. We both reached for the spoon at the same time.

"Go ahead sorry," I apologize, so she uses it first.

"Anushka right," She questions me.

"Ya, sorry I didn't catch your name."

"I'm Miheeka," I nod at her. We finish getting food and walk to the corner of the room to talk.

"So, how do you know them," I nod at my uncle who is now by the drinks.

"I'm doing a business deal with them. Our companies are merging to create a product." I nod at her as she explains about her business a little bit.

"What about you, how do you know them?"

"Shriya, their daughter, and I are friends, so our families know each other," I reply to her.

"Oh ok, Nice." 

Our conversation extends from friends to traveling to hobbies and I feel like I've known her forever. 

We throw our plates away and she grabs a water bottle. She takes out her phone. 

"Oh shit, I have to go." I look up at her and I nod.

"Here before I go, can I have your number we need to meet up again sometime," she hands me her phone and I put my name and number in under a new contact.

"Yay, ok we can talk and figure out some time to go out for lunch or something," she nods back at me with a smile. 

I pull her into a hug and we wave each other goodbye as she leaves out the front door.

"She's a nice girl huh," Aunty comes over to me and puts her hand on my shoulder.

"Ya, she is," I nod back at her. She looks deep in thought but I don't ask her about what because Shriya comes back over to us. 

Thank you for reading! We hope you guys enjoyed. Comment below what suggestions you have. We also wanted to let you know that we recasted Miheeka as Kajal Agarwal. 

Just a side note, "Noru musuko", is a Telugu phrase meaning "Shut up" or "Shut your mouth".
