First Impressions

Chapter-2

The next evening they reached Hyderabad
Their cousin Amar came to pick up. He got down the car and removed his shades greeting elders
"This guy is crazy, He has this big car with A/c and is still afraid of sun” Saasha mumbles
But that didn't go unnoticed by Amar. He frowned.
"And some people never change!!!!!!”
Ashu and Preethi laughed
"You know Amar, you are the only guy who dares to talk with her in this way” Mr.Patel taps his shoulder proudly
"I knew uncle, after all even I have your blood flowing in me” he winks at him earning a smile from his dear uncle.
"Ok, lets go Uncle, I'll drop you all first  and I have to leave for a urgent meeting”
 
At the dining table
Mrs.Patel unable to control her excitement to know about Vikram starts the conversation
"When is the party Vadina?”
"This weekend!!”
"More two days, how will my Ashu get ready” Mrs.Patel asked worriedly
"Don't worry Vadina, we'll go for shopping tomorrow "
"Atha, who all are coming for the party.., I mean his parents, sibblings etc..?” Ashu enquired
"Don't worry my girl, His parents will not attend.. You just concentrate on him for this time” She winks at her
"So he's coming  alone?” Saasha asked widening her eyes
"No sweetheart, his sister and his friend Ashmit Suryavanshi are accompanying him”
"Ashmit Suryavanshi..? You mean that arrogant businessman?? asked Saasha
Her aunt laughed "Yes its him”
"Oh no! I wish I don't come across him!”
"Why Saasha?”
"You rember Aarthi??
"Yah your friend who stays in Mumbai?
"Exactly, She's huge fan of that man, I don't know what's so special about him.. She was so happy when she got appointment to meet him, but that man was so big headed that he didn't even care to talk or wave hand towards her, he just passed in front of her... How can someone have so much pride??”
"Oh c'mon Saasha, He's most eligible bachelor  and why will he meet some random fan girls?? "her younger sister spoke
"Uff!! Now stop all these guys, Iam starving” said Amar who just came from meeting and heard about Ashmit.

Rao's Residence was filled with chaos, The girls wanted to shop for the party and Mrs. Rao asked her son to join them... He didn't immediately agree but he wasn't either ready to let go of the chance. After 2 years he met his relatives and his crush.. Yes he had a huge crush or we might call it as love on Saasha, He never said about  it to anyone except the bright star which he thinks as  his Late father. He was afraid to reveal it to anyone.. not that their family doesn't agree for it but Saasha.. He knew she will never agree to marry him, But his heart never ever listened to him.. He always oppose and argue with her for everything as it's the only way he can talk more with her  and hide his feelings.
After a lot of requests made be everyone he joined them and he very well knew he's day is going to be too long. As he estimated, it took 8 hours for the girls to select their dresses and matching accessories.
They were in parking lot when Mrs. Rao received a phone call, it was from Vikram. Due to some delay in flite, the one who should receive him got busy in some other work so he requested Mrs. Rao to send someone.
"Amar!! Dear please go and receive Vikram, he's in airport waiting for you" Mrs. Rao pleaded her son
"Amma, you already wasted my 8 valuable hours for this shopping and now you want me to receive Vikram?"
"Amar.. its matter of our respect, for now he is just our business partner and guest and if everything works out well he will be your cousin's husband too"
He saw Ashu turning red "Not for the deal, but for my dear cousin I'll go" he winked at her
"Amar take Ashu with you, They should meet at least once before the party so that they can get along quite well.. "Mrs. Rao suggested
"...and Saasha even you join them" Mrs. Patel added
"Mom!! Why should I go with them?" Saasha queried
"Your sister is going to meet him for the first time.. I know Amar will be with her but she needs you..."
Saasha looked at Ashu, who became nervous at the thought itself and she knew her sister will never open her mouth infront of him.. So she agreed to join them.
