Unintentionally Yours

Chapter 4: part 2

*Iliyana*

Definitely I have seen fair share of handsome men in my life, but Armaan had, some pure innocent aura around him. Which made it is easy to trust him. His  eyes are playful and light. As if nothing has tainted them yet.

Wishing I too had the same carefree childhood and life like him. I can see the lingering sadness behind those beautiful eyes at times, and I wanted to go him, and make his sadness disappear. I knew Sarah was the reason for his sadness. I am not sure if I can take her place ever. But I will try my best.

I gave him a small hesitant smile. He returned with one of his own unsure smile. My father got up, met him at the door. And introduced himself,

"Hello. Come in Armaan. I have heard a lot about you. It's good meeting you as a person".

"Hello. But Pleasure is all mine. I have always idiolized your buisness rules and etiquettes. It's an honour meeting you sir."

"Good. Come meet my daughter, Iliyana."

That was my que.

"Hello Armaan....."

"Hi Il... Iliyana..."

Well it was awkward.
Thank god, our cook Robert broke the akwardness, by saying dinner was ready.

We all made our way towards the dining hall. Which was unnecessarily large with a 12 seated Sandal wood table and matching chairs. My father loved sandal wood. And he  made sure to have it everywhere.

Soon we all occupied the chairs and had dinner peacefully. My father doesn't like to talk while having food. Looks like even Armaan's family had the  same rules. Dinner was exceptionally delicious. I should thank the cooks before retiring for the night. They have outdoned themselves.

After dinner Armaan's aunt wanted to see the rest of the house. So I took ladies with me to show around. Where as the men retired to the living Room. Ladies were awed with the beauty of house, garden, kitchen and rooms.

We made small talks like, do I know how to cook, what and all I cook. Indian or western? As such.

I told them honestly, that I know just the basics. And most I have little time to cook. They understood. And started telling about their professional lives.

After some time we joined everyone at Living room. Dad asked me to sit next to him and said,

"Armaan, I have discussed with your father that I want to collaborate with your new project. Our company will help you build the hotel as you desire and buy half of the shares, this will be the first joint project, it is to let the world know we are joining hands, not only personally but also with buisness. What do you think of it!?"

"That's.. that's wonderful. I don't have enough words to show my gratitude sir. By doing this you will clear our company's name. Definitely people will be more accepting towards us now. And I believe we will be able to clear our debts soon. "
