Abhay's Pov:-

I'm exhausted from all the meetings, its been two weeks since i had proper sleep, I'm not complaining about it, its normal to me. My business is expanded to many countries and making lot of profits, so we decided to focus on developing Seoul branch from last two years but few weeks back we decided to make it as an Asian head office because of its potential and development. So, here I'm having back to back meetings in Seoul. A week back, my sister introduced her boyfriend to me and expressed her willingness to get married by the end of this year and she wanted it to be in jeju islands being a fan of korean culture and the other reason is her best friend and me, we both are in Seoul, who can't afford large no.of holidays and she wants her best friend and me to be the part of her every single function.

I can't understand why she wants to thinks about me and her best friend, I love her a lot, so even if i can't, I'll definitely be there for her wedding and if her best friend values their relation as much as my sister do, then she will definitely be there for her. Maybe her best friend doesn't value their friendship as Srija does. I can't easily trust people, mostly people become close to me and Srija because of our family wealth, so my trust issues are not at all wrong. Whatever, Srija won't listen to me. I decided to visit Jeju in between my schedules, to check on wedding venues and shortlist them which makes it easier for her, when she decides about the venue. Sometimes, i regret leaving her alone in India and coming to US, just to achieve my dreams and to prove myself to my father, that i can handle our company singlehandedly, this decision of mine made me loose many important things in my life, one of such things i regret the most is, not being there for her when she needed a companion, support in her life.

My flight to US is within 6 hours, here I'm suffering from severe headache and because of my sheer luck, my coffee machine is out of order, without strong coffee, i can't concentrate on my files... so, i decided to pack my stuff and files, visit a café nearby, have a coffee while signing my files and i can directly leave to airport from there.

I bought this apartment two years back in Hannam the hill, i actually planned to buy the whole floor and remodify it to one flat, as i value my private space, but i can't. I may have bought at other places but i like ambience here and i recently purchased a bungalow in UN village, I'm consulting a builder to rebuild it. I'm lucky enough that i didn't notice anyone staying in the apartment beside mine, giving me my much needed privacy.

I reached the nearest cafe and ordered double shot iced americano and started attending my files, As i was on call with my P.A, a sweet, delicate, honey like voice, which made me feel giddy, distracted me, i look up to the voice, i came across a woman in casual jeans shorts, long legs, fair skin tone, her smile and face screaming elegance even is casuals, she is not Korean, maybe from South Asian countries and what attracted me more is her long silky hair reaching her hips, which is very very rare for girls these days. She talking to the one at counter, I can say they have a good relation. I cut the call, as she came to sit at the seat beside me, talking with Sofia( i came to know through their conversation) and she ordered milk shake(typical girl) and Sofia questioned her outfit, if it is fit for the meeting and she just smiled saying wait and see, making me smile and now, i realized i was gawking at her and smiling like idiot looking at someone unknown. I ignored her presence and continued working on my files but once again her voice made my attempts to ignore her futile, i looked up to her only to find an elegant woman dressed in semi formals, whereas she just wore an soft pink blazer on her existing outfit, removed all accessories and hair in low pony leaving few strands loose here and there. I love it how simple changes and additions to her outfit made her look professional and elegant.

I'm totally impressed by her, it is totally unplanned meeting for her but she is nailing it looking well prepared. I think she is also like me, who is always prepared to solve the every other situation thrown at you.

I continued working on my files, occasionally looking at her. I'm enjoying watching her, while i complete my work. I came back from my trance as my mobile is ringing and its my mom, i went out to talk to her. I came back to my table only to find a note

MY pen decided to say goodbye in between meeting...

I guess you're not gonna use use your pen for some time as your files are closed

so, i decided to hijack your pen, will return it later.....

Thank you

I'm amazed to see the note and her friendly remarks... beauty... not at all. I have seen people more beautiful than her. (you know she is beautiful in her own way, my subconscious mocked me).

After a while she passed me pen with a note(ufff a note again..) while concluding the meeting

Thank you soooo much

your pen saved the meeting

loved the pen very much smooth and feasible

thank you for using Indian art incarnated pen

so, she is an Indian, i looked at her, by sensing my gaze at her she looked at me smiling while packing her bag, i don't know why but I'm dying to talk to her but she got an call, she picked the call with excitement but slowly it changed to sad than to mocking, maybe self-mocking and she rushed out of the café, it pained look at her like that. I noticed a pen on the floor, its not the pen she used during the meeting, i picked the pen only to realize it is an old model pen which stopped its production several years back and this is limited addition model, which means its valuable, i used these limited edition pens during my teenage for important matters and it has almost full ink, this pen should be very important to her for carrying it with her even after production stoppage. So, i decided to submit the pen at the counter as Sofia and her have a good relation.

I gave it to Sofia and she thanked and she asked weather i live in the neighborhood , i said no and I'm Leaving to US today, she asked me at least leave mobile number because she may want to thank me knowing her character to which i declined and she asked me visit the café on my next visit. I left the café after sometime. I don't know what happened to me, i gawked at a stranger, smiled at her and even spoke to Sofia, a total stranger for her, I'm insane. I left Seoul that evening.
