Imtiaz carefully looked over the draft sent by Ryan. 'I just hope she agrees to this proposal' he hoped neatly tucking away it into his laptop bag.
Aisha came in with a huge smile
Imtiaz seeing her sighed and said "Ma, I am going for the date"
"I know" she exclaimed excited "Listen be nice and polite to her" she said settling on his bed
"Ma, I am nice" he said sighing to which Aisha waved his comment off
Aisha looked at his outfit and said "Atleast for today don't wear suit, wear something appropriate for a date" she completed by opening his wardrobe
"But, this looks fine" he said looking at the mirror at his three piece suit
Shaking her head, Aisha pulled out a t-shirt and jeans, gave it Imtiaz and said "wear this"
"Maaa '' he whined and Aisha showed him eyes saying "this is not a business meeting; it's a date". Giving up, he went to wear it.
Wearing it he came out to see Aisha and Raza sitting on his bed; Raza whistled and said "Wow bhai you look good"
Aisha face palmed "see! I told you; this is better for a date" Imtiaz made a face and left the room with his laptop bag and phone.
Reaching the cafe he told himself holding his bag "time to close this deal"
Opening the door he looked around and wondered 'all I know is her name, what does she look like?' still looking around he saw a familiar face the 'tiny girl with a big mouth' from yesterday. Cringing immediately he turned around to walk out of the cafe but, stopped remembering Raza words 'bhai, you didn't apologize. You know better than anyone the value of food' "Damn it" he murmured once again turning around with a new purpose to apologize. He walked and stood right infront of her, clearing his throat they made eye contact within seconds she got with her hand out and introduced herself, which changed his expression to shock and astonishment.

Sara patiently waited on the corner tables, keeping an arm on her chin and the other hand's fingers tapping on the table; getting bored she kept looking at the door.
When the waiter came by she ordered a creme brulee for herself, the waiter bought it taking a bite she made a disgusted face and placed the fork beside it and drank water. She heard a throat clearing sound looking up to see Imtiaz Akhtar or her preferred name 'khamandi Akhtar.' She got up pulled out her hand and introduced herself "Hello, I am Malik" She noticed that his facial expression changed into a mixture of shock and surprise.
With a little astonishment he shook her hand "I am Imtiaz" both of them sat down and Imtiaz moved uncomfortable in his chair clearing his throat he said "I thought your name is Dua"
Choking on the water Sara said "yes, but since we will never meet again we should be on last name basis" placing the glass down she continued "there is no need to get attached"
"Oh" he said pausing for a moment and continued "then its Akhtar" he said introducing himself Sara nodded and said "I know, you said that very clearly the other day we met" with a knowing smile
"Listen about..." Imtiaz said placing his arms on the table
"Mr. Akhtar I am not interested in any sort of relationship with you. This all I came to say" she said picking her bag to pull out her purse
"Miss Malik I am not looking for any romantic relationship either, I am interested in extending a business proposal" he said in a pleasing tone
"Like I said I am not interested in any sort of relationship" she said her voice getting firmer
