I was trying to seduce you

Part 1

He was walking on the very quiet beach, his coat was carelessly hanging on his shoulder while his sleeves and pant was rolled up as he walked in the water, silently. He is Raman Kumar Bhalla, the entrepreneur of the year, the winner of the youngest entrepreneur award and the most successful businessman of delhi. His father had died a few years ago leaving all the responsibility of the business on him. He began living to fulfill his father's dreams from that day. He had cracked a very big deal today, something that would just take his company to new heights and he was missing his father. He along with his whole family used to come here every Sunday and enjoy some family time till his father was alive, but that ritual just stopped with time. But this place always reminded him of his father and so whenever he was sad and missing him, he used to come here as he could feel his presence there and he used to feel light. He hadn't got married, though his mother was behind him to get married and settle down in life, he always used to make some excuse.

He was walking silently when he heard some faint giggles. He looked around trying to reach the source of that sweet voice when he spotted a young girl with a four/five year old kid, making sand castles at a distance from him.

She made something and just then, a wave of water came, ruining it all. She pouted innocently and her doe shaped eyes brimmed with sadness and so did the kid before both began making sand castles again. He smiled brightly seeing her angelic face shining in the moonlight and before he could reach her or talk to her, she got a call from someone and both left the beach.

Raman was still standing at his place thinking about her when his phone too buzzed breaking his trance.

T –oye khoteya, where are you, come home soon, I am not going to wait for you for long, have some mercy on your old mother, she needs rest at this age and you are bothering her like this, I have told you thousand of times to get married, bring my DIL home and relieve me from your responsibilities but you never listen to me

Toshiji started with her never ending rant of marriage making raman irked.

R –I am just coming maa

Saying so he hung up before toshiji could bore him more with her lecture. He moved to the place where the girl and the kid were playing and saw a "I an S" written. He smiled and left the place.

A few more days passed, raman's life was going normally and he had almost forgot about the beach girl but seems like destiny had its own plans. He was on his way back home after a meeting when he saw her standing at the local bus stand, waiting for the bus in heavy rain. She was standing all alone and was shivering in fear. He thought of something and was about to approach her but someone's car stopped in front of her. She sighed in relief and happily settled inside, zooming off unknown to the pair of eyes fixed on her. A few more days passed, raman began visiting the beach frequently and he began feeling something for that innocent stranger without even knowing her name. He never approached her or tried to talk to her, just always used to admire her from a distance.

He used to spend hours admiring one of her pictures he had clicked on the beach when she was busy running around, chasing the kid with her and she had stopped for a moment to catch a breath and a single strand of hair had peeped out of her messy bun. He had captured the moment while she tried to straighten her hair without her knowledge. Everyone at home began seeing changes in his behaviour, he was lost most of the time and toshiji thought to dig the matter deeper. She asked mihir, his colleague cum best friend to keep an eye on him and mihir finally caught the real culprit. He caught him admiring ishita's pic in his phone but didn't let raman know that his secret is out now.
