Meeting Myself

Chapter 6

#Shubham's Diary
#December 13, 2014
"I am busy dude! Stop behaving like a teenage girlfriend. I won't be there at the ball" I retorted to Zack, the sole heir of Francis Enterprises. His Italian father fell in love with an Indian girl and they got married soon. Zack and I met in college and completed our IIT degree from one of the most prestigious colleges in India, IIT Dhanbad.
"I would love to spill beans over your six months hardwork." He said sarcastically.
"Dare you touch it, It is a revolutionary project for my company."
"Then today at the ball,8.0 pm" he ordered.
"F.I.N.E Mr. Francis!" I told with my brows together.
I checked time at my bedside watch, 7.05 pm it was." Shit! I need to hurry!" I muttered.
I quicky got showered and cleaned myself. I wore my Black tuxedo with matching leather black matt finished shoes. I combed my hair back with gel and applied my spicy cologne.
I checked time again. 7.55 pm. "That's me", I smirked.
I quicky headed towards my keys on the table and started the ignition of my Ferrari, gifted by my dad.
The ball venue was nearby and I reached there just in time. I gave my keys to vallet and headed inside. It was a nice place but felt a bit awkward since I didn't knew anyone.
My eyes were searching for Zack but land on someone across the room.She was talking to someone with wide grin glued to her face. Her hair was falling down on her face making her look adorable. I was actually gawking at her when it striked that she is the new girl at gym. "She looks stunning and unrecongnizable" I smiled.
A light pat on my shoulder snaps me out of my thoughts. I see Zack when I turn around. "Hello there" he teased.
"Get lost man.I don't know a freaking soul here, what am I doing here?"I asked.
"You are with me today, so practically you do.Now behave like my friend and wait for me at the bar.I'll back in five." Zack commanded.
"Aye-Aye Caption". I followed.
I went to the bar, it was at the other end of room, just below the schandalier glowing bright yellow and shining like star. I was just looking around when I saw the gym girl again. I found her pretty cute actually. She was outnumbering all the plastic dolls with her natural beauty. I smirked internally when my thoughts seeped into her. The way she worked out at the gym and her way of dancing. Suddenly I see her heading towards me. My brows met each other in shock and I was preparing myself to talk to her.
-Breath?Checked.
-Smile? Checked.
-Manners? Checked.
-Clothes? Checked.
-Hair? Checked.
I was ready to talk to her. I got excited by her each step towards me but she just crosses me and heads behind me. I felt a but silly. She didn't even look at me. Instead, she went to meet Zack and some elderly person there.The way elderly guy hugged her, I assume him to be her dad. I cannot hear their conversation but all I see is that she blushes on Zack's compliment and passes again fron the same path she came, ignoring me again.
"Sir, what would you like?" Asks the bartender, making my attention swift towards him.
"Uhm..one whisky on rocks please" I said.
"Right sir" he said.
"Ohh God! I would kill myself if I had such a daughter" says Zack,taking the seat beside me.
"What?!" I asked making my voice a bit louder.
"She is the ugliest girl I had ever seen.I mean look at her wide thighs. It was as if someone had just pulled her legs to the extreme."
I got a bit angry over Zack's words. But then, I remembered myself before losing weight.Unfortunately I had to play along with Zack, else it won't take him even a minute to destroy my project, my career.
I snapped "Oh her! Relax man. I know her. The feelings mutual."
But if only Zack knew what I felt for her.
Both, Zack and I hear some chocking noises from behind my back and turn around. They were hers.
"Oh holly molly!" I whispered under my breath, harldy audible.
She just heard our talks? She heard it when I didn't mean anything?
I was actually cursing myself for making such pair of beautiful eyes water. Guilt washed through me.
She runs away from the party, whimpering.
I feel so ashamed, I run after her but she was nowhere to be found.I left the ball in anger.
#December 14,2014.
"Wake up brother!" Screamed jenny.
"Drop me at my friends place now." She ordered.
"Where is your chaffuer?"I demanded.
"He is on leave. Now be a good elder brother and drop me!" She screamed again in my ears.
"Why don't you learn to drive? You are sixteen for God's sake now!"
"And what is the use of you being 21 when you can't drop your sister?" She teased.
"Whatever!" I rolled my eyes and headed towards the car keys.
"Thankyou! You are the best brother!" She danced in amusement.
Jenny and I sat in my Ferrari and she started giving me directions to her destination.I seem to suddenly remember yesterday's ball. I felt guilty and wished I could apologize to her.
"Stop, right over there." Said jenny.
I parked the car in front of a breathtaking mansion.
"I'll be back in a minute and please leave only after that." Pleaded Jenny.
"Yeah Ok" I reverted.
I was admiring the beauty of the house. The huge garden, the supreme elevation and the mind blowing location. Not like I didn't own a house like this, but this was different. I wished I could apologize for my yesterday's stunt to her. Suddenly, I see her with Jenny.
My jaw reached the ground. Or wait. Am i hallucinating?
"Shanaya,meet my brother Shubham. He just finished his degree from India." So her name is Shanaya.
"Shubham, meet Shanaya.My new Best friend."Introduced Jenny jokingly.
This was my chance. I wanted to apologize and now I can. Oppurnity knocks only once and just as I was about to speak, She turned on her heel and went away.Jenny and I hear a slamming sound. Ofcourse, she slammed her door. I thought to myself.
Jenny was in utter confusion and calls Shanaya.
I was hoping she didn't get angry because of me but I was cut by Jenny's voice.
"Whattt?!" She screamed.
I gestured her what happened but she mouthed "wait".
"Hello? Hello Shanaya? Shanaya are you there?" Jenny enquired.
"She called off" Jenny informed me frowning.
"What happened exactlty?" I asked.
"She said she doesn't want to be friends anymore and demands privacy." Jenny answered.
I was The Reason. But I couldn't tell Jenny that.
"I don't understand! Everything was absolutely fine when We are talking inside then what happened to her after she met you?" Jenny muttered.
"Did you cast some spell on her? This is the first time I saw her getting this angry!" Sister asked.
GUILT washed through me again. This is not the way a gentle man should behave. I scolded myself.
"Get in the car jenny!" I commanded.
"But brother..."
"Now" I ordered.
