"Niharika what a pleasant surprise?"

Niharika was surprised to find Nikhil sitting inthe coffee shop of of the Pan Pacific marina bay hotel Singapore.

"So on a vacation Nikhil?"

"No dear there was a major issue in my singapore branch but everything is under control now"

"That's nice to know "

"Are you on vacation Niharika?"

"Sort off", replied Niharika reluctantly.

"I amhere for another two days so join me for our coffee date?"

Niharika was to stay in Singapore for another three days but she didn't inform him.

" Are you sure we should have coffee together?"

" I am sorry Niharika. I shouldn't have behaved in that manner that day. Its just that I got carried away and I didn't want you to believe that we could have a relationship when I am still in love with someone "

"Apology accepted but on one condition "

"What condition?"

"I want the name of the person "

"Haven't you guessed yet?"

" I have an idea but I want to hear from your mouth"

Nikhil looked straight in her eyes andspoke softly," Jiya"

" So I was right . I have seen your eyes following her every movement. Also when she is around you seem yo be lost in her"

"Is it that obvious?"

"Yes even a child can see your adoration for her"

" Does Jiya know?"

"Yes even Sagar knows but he respects my feelings "

Niharika thought how lucky Jiya was ? Two such handsome and powerful men Nikhil and Sagar both loved her.

She decided to change the topic," So instead of coffee how about dinner?"

"So you are taking pity on poor lovestruck man and taking him to dinner" Nikhil exclaimed with a twinkle in his eye.

" Nikhil I never knew you were poor.So poor people stay in 5 stars do they?"

" I have a suggestion. If you have time we can have coffee now and then you can leave "

Niharika ordered herself an expresso and sat next to him. They didn't speak but enjoyed a companiable silence.

"Ok lets meet in the restaurant at 7 Pm if the time suits you?', Nikhil aasked Niharika and she agreed.

The day was too slow for Niharika. She wanted it to end so that evening would come and she could meet Nikhil. She had realised that nikhil had never meant to hurt her with his comments and he actually truly loved Jiya but Niharika felt something for him. She was a go getter . She was going to pursue him till he at least developed some feelings for her.


She was ready to move with him so she would get him out of his misery. Nikhil was a good person and he deserved happiness. She was hoping that she would be able to bring some joy back in his life.

She reached the hotel before time. She decided to wear loose flowing cream top with black trousers. It was a smart outfit meant for dinner with friends.She wore a small gold chain in her neck and small matching earings. She was not a makeup person so she applied a light lipgloss. Though she was tall she liked wearing heels so she wore nude pumps with her outfit. she was ready by seven but she went downstairs around 8 PM.

  Nikhil was already seated at the table with a glass of wine in his hand , looking extremely handsome in a pair of jeans and blue checked shirt. Her heart beat at the sight of him.Maybe she was falling for him.
