New day, fresh start. Zain got up early and went to work. The morning was different. Even the Sun warmed differently. He sensed that it will be a good day. He wanted to enjoy few more days in his office, alone. When he stepped in the office, there was surprise. The new table and on it the books, photos and laptop. Ali already was there to inform him that he has a new partner and is coming today. He wasn't impressed. Is she just had to come so early?
Aaliya woke up before seven am. She couldn't sleep more. It seemed to her as she had slept whole week. She had showered, had breakfast and at eight am was ready to go to work. The driver had warmly greeted her and driven her to the office. She didn't believe that Mumbai looks so beautiful. Otherwise it looks in the photos of her parents. Finally, she entered the station and went to doorman. She asked him where is Zain's office? He led her to the office of their boss. She had feeling that everyone was staring. Maybe because she's new?
The door opened and she walked slowly after the doorman. Zain immediately knew who she was. The girl from the West. So obvious. The very style of hers said it all. High heels, pants, white shirt and black leather jacket.
"Oh my God. Who's that?"-asked surprised Ali.
"That is what perfect female looks like."- Karan added.
"Look at her, bro. Pure perfection. And look at those long legs. Oh man."
"Enough you two."- Zain quited them. "Don't stare at her like that."
"Come on , Zain. Everyone would love to have someone like her as partner. Who do you think is the lucky one because of whom she's here?"- asjed Ali.
"I believe his name is Zain."- heard the voice behind him. He slowly turn and ta-da. That beauty is standing right in front of him.
"Ah I wish I'm Zain."- said Ali. "But no. I'm just Ali."-he said.
Aaliya smiled:
"Hi Ali. I'm Aaliya. Nice to meet you."
"Hi I'm Karan."-they shook hands.
"Hi. So, who's Zain? I'm looking for him for a while but no one knows where he is. They said the office is just around the corner, but I don't want to go in without him."-she explained.
"I am Zain."-she heard voice.
Aaliya turned slowly. Behind her stood tall young man with black hair and beautiful brown eyes. His perfume was slowly coming to her. And his lips... Woah, wait. What?! How she came to his lips? She quickly looked up and... Shit.! He watched her. With why-you-look-at-me-so-weird look.
"Hey. I'm..."
"Aaliya Haider. I know who you are. Now, come with me."-he took a few steps when he realized that she doesn't follow him. He turned and looked at her. She was standing in the same place, hands crossed on her chest. He raised an eyebrow.
"You didn't allow me to introduce myself. I don't want to go with someone I don't know. At least by name."
"Ok. Introduce yourself."
"I'm Aaliya Haider. I'm glad that I met you, partner."
"Now come. I don't have all day."
"He's not very friendly. Don't you think so guys?"-she turned to Karan and Ali and winked.
"Damn, this girl is hot as hell."-said Ali.
"I know. Zain is not aware of how lucky he is. Why can't I get such partner?"-complained Karan.
"Hey. Are you not happy with me?"
"Woah, dude. You're a man. But she.. She is something special."
