"Arjun, stop bothering me. I am here to relax. Let me tell you that I have come here for a vacation. I don't want any girl here with me", said Aditya.
"Next to impossible. I don't think I'll ever find a girl like I want", said Aditya and then he disconnected the call. He sighed, looking at the sea which was visible from his hotel room.
The office schedule had become hectic for him. He badly wanted a vacation so he came to Goa. He wore his jacket and went for a stroll on the streets of the city.
He entered a café to have coffee but didn't see any vacant table. He sighed and was about to exit when a waiter approached him.
"Excuse me sir? I am so sorry but we don't have any vacant table", said the waiter. "It's okay", replied Aditya. "Sir, if you don't mind you can share a table. There are a few people who are sitting alone", said the waiter.
Aditya needed some food so he agreed with the waiter. The waiter went from there while Aditya looked for a table. He saw a girl sitting alone on a table and she seemed Indian.
Not wanting to deal with any other language, he walked to the table. He cleared his throat and the girl looked at him. "If you don't mind can I sit here?" asked Aditya by pointing at the seat opposite to hers.
She nodded with a smile and he sat there. The girl looked beautiful in a simple kurti. 'Why will someone wear a kurti in Goa?' thought Aditya.
"Are you from Mumbai?" asked the girl before Aditya could voice out his question. Aditya nodded in a yes and the girl smiled.
"I knew it. It was so different to find someone from India here. I know that Indian visitors do visit Goa but I was fed up of seeing foreigners here", spoke the girl. Aditya smiled when he saw her eyes sparkling with excitement. She hit her forehead with her hand and said, "I am so sorry. I kept on speaking and you had to bear me. I am sorry."
"It's completely okay. In fact, even I am glad to meet you here", said Aditya immediately when he saw her apologetic face.
The girl grinned and forwarded her hand for a handshake as she said, "I am Zoya Siddiqui." He shook hand with her and said, "I am Aditya Hooda."
Zoya nodded with a smile but then a realisation stuck her. "Do you mean that you are the Aditya Hooda? The businessman? The one who recently got the award for the young entrepreneur of the year?" asked Zoya with her wide eyes.
Aditya nodded in a yes with a bit confusion. Why did she get so excited when he intro himself? Zoya grinned and said, "Aapko pata hain, humare Abbu hamesha kehte thhe ki Aditya Hooda best businessman hain! Woh toh hume aap se milana bhi chahte thhe kyonki hume bhi business mein bohot interest hain. Isiliye jab humne aapko dekha toh hum excited ho gaye." (My Abbu used to say that you are the best businessman. He wanted both of us to meet because I am interested in business. That is why I got so excited when I saw you.)
