5.58 pm

Abhimanyu and dhruv reach at the hcpr office .. everyone in the staff was wooed by there lavish entry and there magnetic aura ...

Soon reesha greeted them in the reception area and showed abhimanyu his way towards akshara's cabin ..

And asked dhruv to stay outside for a while as per his own terms which he mentioned on the call to keep the deal confidential ...

Abhimanyu entered the cabin in full swag but felt like a fool .. :D , coz he couldn't see anybody inside the cabin to have the meeting with ;) .. the chair was turned back ... he thought to take a round of the cabin so that he can know more about the owner uptill he/she arrives and it may help him presenting his deal in more convincing to them ...
While thinking all this he reached to the edge of table .. and accidentally stepped upon some floppy drives scattered on the floor ,, that made him trip and in no time .. he was lying on some feathery soft cushion like structure... he slowly opened his eyes and got hooked at those twin pairs of stars meeting his gaze .. they were alluring and piercing at the same time ... there nose were almost touching .. his entire body was lying over hers ... the eyelock was getting intense as the chair kept reclining more and more .. and none of them wanted to lose the eye contact battle .. just then the telecom rang on the desk and both of them came back to earth ...

Abhimanyu got up in the speed of light and started looking here and there to avoid the awkwardness ...

Akshara took a second to realise what just happened ... she stood up as well straightening the chair .. and removed her headphones setting up her floppies back still in much awkwardness that she didn't even glanced at him for once ..finally she gathered all her courage to look up at him

By the same time .. He secretly tried to take a glance at her and .. once again there eyes .. meet .. there glances hit and there gazes are locked over each other ...

But not for that long.. this time coz they averted there sights soon ....

Abhimanyu finally spoke up with a guilty voice .. "" I.. A.. I'm really sorry ... i was sent inside for the meeting.. and i realised there isn't any body here ... i mean you were here but it didn't seemed so when i entered here and ... i just .."" he found it hard to arrange the most decent words to explain his side but failed badly and ended up saying "" i am sorry ... that's all i can say right now "" and he looked here and there all the while he ranted ..

Akshara felt guilty as well for not being attentive enough while listening to music that too when she knew, she had a meeting in a while .. she gained all her courage that she had and said "" I'm sorry as well i was supposed to be more attentive.. and also for the mess that made you fall over me... "" she stopped then and there realising what she just uttered ..... making him awkward once again ... she cursed herself in her mind and continued.. "" i mean ... i don't know how to explain .. but I'm sorry as well "" both gave a guilty look to each other .. and before they could have got lost in each other's deep oceans (once again )... akshara signaled him to get seated ... and she sat in front of him ... both of them still getting shy to even look at each other..

abhimanyu then broke the ice and said "" okay so let's consider for a while that this is how we actually met and shall we continue the meeting?? "" akshara nodded with a affirmation internally thanking her stars for him being so understanding here ...
he continued "" I'm abhimanyu birla !! Founder of birla associates... "" he forwarded his hand and akshara out of habit reached her hand for a handshake and not before introducing herself "" I'm akshara goenka .. founder of hcpr pro "" and there hands touched .. a shiver ran down through there spine.. and akshara quickly took her hand back before the situation had got anymore complicated... abhimanyu understood the tension . But without making it more complicated..
Abhimanyu started off ... "" our company highers ... mba grads from iim Bangalore every year ... but the placement process needed a reformation and hence we wanted to tie up with your company .. to imply the new placement procedure which will happen after exact 6 months from now on ...........( they further discussed it all while both of them trying to steal each other's glances amid the presentations.. with a few chuckles ,, some fruit juice and minimal awkwardness by the end of the meeting...)
