The Doe Eyed Lass!

Hey guys. This is the second chapter .....Enjoy !

Mohit's Point of View

"Damn!!!" I hadn't had such a horrific day before! My latte fell on my favourite shirt thanks to that clumsy miss! I had to attend a meeting with my client wearing a dirty shirt, how  I hate travelling in the metro if only the road traffic wasn't equally bad.

"Rakesh, drop off this shirt at the dry cleaners', will you?" "And don't forget to empty my pockets." As I sat on my comfy couch with my black coffee, an ID card was found from my pockets, it said Latika Jain, Analyst at USABS. I remembered picking it up when she had clumsily exited for her station. It was unbelievable that a woman like her could actually exist in an era that preaches perfection. She contradicted everything that I thought a woman should aspire to be, she can't even walk straight without tripping over.

"Hello, yes love!" I chuckled "Not in the mood for a party, had an awfully tiring day plus have to prepare for tomorrow's merger deal." "Will catch up with you tomorrow then?" "Love you!" I really need to make it up to her; I love the way Kiara understands me and my aspiration to feature in Forbes.

Now I am stuck with this woman! "Latika, only if your eyes hadn't been that exquisite I would have shown you your place!"

I just freeze  at the sight of her doe shaped eyes; I can't get my mind off a lass who is so plain and vain! "Focus Mohit!" "This merger deal can become a turning point in your career!"

I took a deep breath and went back to my laptop, covering all the intricacies of the deal, leaving the thoughts of the doe eyed lass for tomorrow.

"Rakesh!" I called at my housekeeper "Get my black coffee and French toast ready!" "Lightly pan fry it in nutrilite butter." "Have you put my files in my bag?" "Don't forget to fetch my shirt from the dry cleaners'." "Iron my musk coloured shirt and my dark blue pants for the evening." I think Kiara would like that I put on her present.

I took a bite of my toast, checked my schedule for the day, slipped the ID card into my pocket and took a cab to the metro station. As usual, the station was congested, with queues queuing up in front of almost every coach except one which I usually travelled in. There were familiar people travelling in this coach, at least 3 of them were; Latika being one of them. This was the first time I was hoping to see her and maybe the last time. As I entered the coach, I found the young college girl, the engineer & the clumsy miss. Just that she wasn't falling over people today thanks to the empty coach. And the guitarist, I had hardly noticed before. The train began to move, I had to give her ID to her. I was damn sure she hadn't even noticed given the mess she is always in. Before I could approach her, the train came to a screeching halt. My phone beeped no network.

"What the hell is happening?" I reacted. "I think everyone can hear you so needn't be so loud" said an impatient voice; the college girl had finally woken up from her trance. "OK?" "How do you propose we should handle this situation?" I responded. "I have a very important meeting with my client and FYI I can't afford to be late!" I sniffed at her. "You aren't loud enough to reach the engine, why don't you bribe the driver to move rather than throwing your weight around." She answered. "Rather I will check it out myself!" She got up and walked briskly towards the engine.

The engineer had finally put his brain to work after we came to know that there was no one in the entire train, just five of us! The door was slightly open and he immediately pulled out his equipments and started to break open the doors, I pounced at the opportunity to help the lad out. While Latika had been staring at the guitarist and before I realised, she collapsed in his arms.
