After signing the rest of the files that day, it was almost time for Vikram and Shiva to leave and work. The staff left as soon as they completed the important tasks. Ahana chose three from five sample granite stones as a way to explore the similarities and differences of overseas customer feedback and reviews, without blinking an eye on the computer. Then, it was very difficult to choose best of two from the three granite stones. She collected and saved some other information about the stones on the computer.
"Ahana,Time is running out. Let's pursue the work tomorrow" said Ravita who was nearby.
Unaware of the passage of time, Ahana turned off the computer and said, "Oh, okay. Let's go." Then, she placed the sample stones safely in the desk.
After a while, the two came the bus stop. Ahana picked up the phone from her bag and noticed that she had received two calls from her mother. Then, She immediately called her mother back.
At the other end, her mother said, "Ahana, come to Ganesh Stores. I will be there."
"There? Why ma? We have ended paying all the money already, right?" she questioned.
"Yes. We got selected something like lucky draw" said her mother.
"Oh... Is that so? I'm coming ma" she said and ended the call. Then, she boarded the same bus with Ravita and got off in front of Ganesh Stores.
An unprecedented crowd had gathered that day in front of the store. In the crowd, she saw her mother. Ahana took long steps with a beautiful smile spread across her chin.
When she saw his daughter, she was overjoyed and said, "Ahana, the attender asked us to stay here as we got selected the first place."
"Okay Mom. Super! Have you arrived on time?" Ahana asked.
"Yeah, ma... I came early around 4.30p.m and now it's going to be 6.40p.m. The team is waiting for a special guest" she sighed.
"Oops! You're looking exhausted. Can I get you a coffee?" She asked.
"I do not want to but get coffee for the grandmother who is sitting beside me. She asked me for water" her mother said and Ahana bought two coffees and snacks from nearby teashop. She gave it to her mother and grandmother .
"God bless you, my girl" said the grandmother as she bought the coffee from Ahana. Ahana showed a bright smile.
Then, she turned to her mother, "Maa, Did you inform Kavita? She will be looking for you" said Ahana."Yes"The clock ticks to 7.30 p.m.
"Shh...The time is running out" Ahana raised an awkward voice. Some people tried to leave and would get the gifts by tomorrow.
"Hmm... I am going to ask maa or we'll leave." she walked towards the employee.
"How long we are waiting? It's getting delay?"
"Mam... we are waiting for an important person to come. He is the sponsor. If you can't wait then come tomorrow and get your gift item" he said.
"If you give today it will be easy and we don't want to waste one more day. It will be difficult for many to come tomorrow" said Ahana.
"Hmm...that's right but I can not do anything madam" said the employee. His phone rang, he picked up the cell phone. Looking at the people who had gathered there, "Everyone wait for five more minutes. Sir will come now" informed him.
It was sharply eight o'clock when Vikram get out from the luxury car and Shiva followed him. Vikram was welcomed grantly.
Ahana was literally fired inside thinking, "How did he react to me for being five minutes late today in the office but what about him? People was waiting for him for so long around 4 hours" Before bringing her anger to a calm state, Ahana was called inside for getting the first prize.
Ahana went inside with her mother. Meanwhile, Vikram excused himself as to attend the important call. He stood on the room opposite to it. There is no chance of him seeing Ahana. Shiva stood stable in between Ahana and Vikram.
Ahana, who had lost her temper because it had been five minutes late again due to the phone call. Ahana informed her mom,"Maa, stay here. I'm coming now."
She stepped towards Vikram. He hanged the call and turned around. He paused his steps seeing Ahana in front of him. "What are you thinking? already four hours late. Mmm, now this phone call. According to you, your time meant treasure and ours meant despise, right?" She exclaimed.
"I have tonnes of work and I don't need to write it all down to you. That's it" Vikram raised his voice.
"The same goes for everyone's work. Do you know how long everyone has been waiting here? If you have a job, all you have to do is to arrange someone on behalf of you. Don't worry! none will protest if they didn't receive the gifts from your hands. Hmm... you would give the gift and ride in your luxury car but do you know how many people staying here have to wait for the bus?" she bursted out.
"Look here! I don't care about your side. I will never be so patient again"
"Are you kidding? You used the same words in the office today. I was late and stood silently in front of you accepting my fault but you couldn't even admit it for being late"
"Don't you know who am I? Don't you have manners to talk to a boss? You are arrogant" he yelled.
"Hmm... Vikram Aditya!!! Did you have two horns crowned on your head? The average man right? First, learn to respect human beings then respect (sir) will come automatically from my side too" She came out.
Vikram came out saying to himself, "Horns? Hmm... A girl who is habituated to fight with me. My God!!! Arrogant... Arrogant all over her body. I will take care of her tomorrow. Now it's already late"
"Welcome Vikram sir!" said the shop owner enthusiastically. Vikram also stood with his signature smile.
First prize ~ Muthulakshmi Ammal (Ahana's mother) Both Ahana and her mom went to the diocese. One of the staffs who opened the big door at the back of the room took the first prize coupon and handed it to Vikram.
The first prize was a two-wheeler (scooty). Vikram and Ahana posed photo with different facial expression. They didn't even look at each other. Her mother's face was brighten. (Waiting so long was not in vain and she had dream to bought a two-wheeler for her daughter and now it is available automatically)
Vikram looked at Ahana who was standing in front of him and turned his face as if she understood the sound of his mind saying "You too go in this luxury two wheeler... umm..." Shiva, who was watching all this thought "Does Ahana know how to ride a two-wheeler? Maybe if she doesn't know will she fight for it too?" He looked at her and smiled.Receiving the keys of the two-wheeler, Ahana and her mother got shifted to the scooty. Shiva looked through the penetrating glass and his mind voiced "My goodness! Hopefully, She know to drive. Hmm... hereafter she don't need to board a bus"********After handing over the gift, Vikram got into his luxury car and sat down. Shiva was driving the car today. As he passed the area where the accident took place, Shiva asked Vikram, who was struggling to ask, "Sir... Why didn't you inform Ahana about the delay due to the accident" he said gently."Hey... Just focus only on your work" replied Vikram. Meanwhile Vikram's phone rang and the screen flashed Dhruv's picture. Vikram smiled and pressed the phone in his ear, "Vicky... I'm proud of you man. Hatsaff Vicky! your service was broadcasted in all the news channels... hmm... Are you busy?""Why? I didn't get you da" said Vikram."The service you rendered today, the college bus accident in the Mullainagar area has gone viral" said Dhruv."Oh... oh... Luckily, there is no loss of life" Vikram said."Yeah... My friend would have been in that place like God... Vikram Aditya meant the uncrowned king. People has no worries in your kingdom... Ha..ha..." smiled Dhuru."Enough Da... Don't praise me much." Unknowingly, Vikram relate Ahana's statement with Dhruv regarding the crown "Hmm... Vikram Aditya!!! Did you have two horns crowned on your head? The average man right?" Vikram ended with a laughter."What Vicky... laughing?""Nothing... come tomorrow... let's see. Good night""Okay Vicky... Good night... Take care"
