"Okay so Ms.Aneri Nigam, you only have Rs.100 is your wallet and this is the only café which is non other then the highest paid café of the town, in front of you and you have thrown out of your flat mate and you have to complete your writing task before 6 p.m.", She said to herself and sighed.
She entered inside, she already knew it's The Shalimar's and she is hungry and broke!
"50 rupay mein kuch bhi milega yaha?", She scratched her head, sitting on the window seat to enjoy the rainy weather.
"How can I help you Ma'am...",she heard a voice and suddenly turned around and saw a round faced, curly haired boy.
"Ouch!", She held her neck with a scream.
She got a jerk in her neck unfortunately or fortunately.
"Rishabh right?", She scanned his shirt.
"Yup!", he smiled back sweetly and her eyes met his small honey colored eyes and the moment froze for a minute.
"Ma'am?", he waved at her to break the chain of thoughts.
"Haa? Haaa! I'll tell you in a while.",She replied tucking her hair behind.
"Rishabh?", She now waved at him.
"Ye...ah.....Yeah sure Ma'am, I'm waiting.", his cheeks grew red.
"Waise....idhar aao!", she called him closer.
"Yes Ma'am...", he took his ear near her.
"50 Rupay mein kuch bhi thoda pet bharne layak milega kya?", She made a puppy face.
He melted over her face.
"Sure Ma'am, I'll arrange something for you.", He winked at her and smiled.
"It's Aneri. You can call me by my name.", She unknowingly blushed with a smile.
"Surrreeeeeeee Ms.Aneri.", He blinked his eyes and left.
Aneri switched on her Laptop and got indulged into her writing task like a maniac.
"Aneri?", She heard the same voice.
"Here, the food.", He plated Chole Paneer Kulcha in front of her and she gawked at the food and then at the menu and then at him.
"Enjoy!", He smiled and slid a tissue paper towards her.
She opened the tissue and read it.
'Don't Worry, It's on me!'
Yours(maybe),
Rishabh 😉She looked at him and he winked at her and her cheeks grew red the very next second.
After one and half hour later...
He placed a tall tumbler on her table filled with Mango Frappuccino and She looked at him gulping in anxiety.
"Ho..w.... Mu...ch...", She started sweating.
"70+200.",He smiled with a pout.
"Tu tere haath ki Coffee laa de, bas sasta dede please!", She slid the Frappuccino towards him.
"I already said it's on me. So enjoy!", he again slid the tumbler towards her and softy squeezed her hand and blinked his eyes.
She was all speechless.
She completed the last line, finishing the last sip of the Mango Frappuccino and looked at the watch.
"5:30 it is!",she sighed in contentment and leaned back at the chair.
"Bill ma'am.",Rishabh again came to her and her eyes came out looking at the bill.
"700!",she was on the verge of screaming but Rishabh shushed her.
"Keep the 50 here.",he opened the bill book.
She kept the 100 there and smiled at him giving him a thank-you-so-much look.
He went away and she packed her stuff and went out of the Shalimar's
"Aneri!!!",she heard him again.
She looked at him, he was coming towards her.
"You leaving?Working hours over?",she asked as he stood next to her.
"Yup! Part time job you know.",He gave an ear to ear smile.
"So what you do full time?",she asked.
"Well, I'm a illustrator in a random company and I love meeting people so I work here to enjoy myself.",he casually said sliding hands into his pockets.
"You are illustrator The Rishabh Puri!!!!What the.....",she chocked.
"Hyyyy! Calm down!",he rubbed her back.
"Can I drop you your home?",he asked her offering her water bottle.
"I'm thrown out of my flat by my lovely Flat mate.",she gulped the water and sobered herself.
"So now what will you do?",he asked.
"Have called my distant sister living in the same town, she is coming to pick me up.",she smiled.
"Thank you so much Rishabh.",she held his hand.
"Don't be!",he smiled back at her.
"Aneri!!!",it's her sister Nehal.
"Well I should leave now, My sister is here so...",she said.
"Yeah sure!",he said.
"By the way! Can I have your number? So that I can return back you the money!",she smiled sheepishly.
"Sure!",they exchanged number and she sat behind her.
"Bye!!",Rishabh waved at her and she waved back at him with a flying kiss.
Rishabh felt all the butterflies in his stomach and couldn't hid his blush anymore.
