Is She The One?✔

Chapter 28

Ishaan ran a hand through his beard, looking heavenwards. He had been sitting there for the last hour, waiting for Mr. James for discussing on his new project.

He silently blamed him for making him awake at late night and asking to come to a club for the discussion.

He wondered from where did he get this stupid idea of doing business at midnight in a club.

He took a glance all over the club near the beach. Many were dancing, drinking, singing and he kept sitting on a rolling chair before the counter.

His thoughts shifted to the incident on evening. He clenched his jaw, thinking how dare was that lady to ask him that way.

He was shocked when Shreya's aunty took his appointment in office only to discuss about her feelings and all.

Instead of advicing her, she was compelling him to reciprocate the feeling. Atlast, he stepped in his car to get rid of the lady. He shook his head wondering how could someone be that much low.

Shreya loved him or not, it did not matter to him!

Ishaan let out a breath cursing what a bad day it was.

Thirdly, that old man Mr. James made him to pause his sleep and wait for an hour, that too in a party club.

Secondly, he got annoyed by her aunt Ms. Suzan for taking the role of marriage bureau.

And firstly, he still did not get over the innocent face on which he made tears to run.

He pressed his lips, thinking how rude he was, shouting at her, only caring about his friend.

He was sure that she would never talk to him as her last words were playing on his head. His stomach tightened just at the thought of it.

He was so concerned about Farhan that he mouthed the words which came up first.

All he felt was. Guilt. Guilt. Guilt.

He gave a hard blow on the counter, "Dammit!"

"Do you want any drinks, sir?" Waiter asked him to which he gave a killing stare.

"Mr. Ishaan?" He turned his head back to see a gentleman dressed in a three piece suit.

"Helo Mr. James" He tried to suppress his anger by faking a smile.

After the meeting, Ishaan felt happy that he won the project. His dream project. His Dad had already decided to have a party if he would get the deal.

But, the other corner of his mind was getting worse with guilt.

He played with a soft drink bottle when he came to hear someone singing.

"Pehli nazar mein
Kaise jaadu kar diya
Tera ban baita hai
Mera jiya...."

It was so soothing to hear, in a low tone, in a manly voice. He suddenly headed up, realizing it was a familiar voice. Very familiar.

He moved to that side where everyone got lost in the song, watching him singing with guitar.

Farhan!

Ishaan parted his lips, watching him sitting at the centre and singing.

"Farhan is an amazing singer" He heard one of the girls commenting. He wondered if they knew him before.

After receiving appreciations, the smile on Farhan's face faded away replacing it with a bewildered one when he came to see him.

"Ishaan? Why are you here?" Farhan walked to him.
