Manan - The Tale of Nerd and Smart Chic .

Chapter - 26

15th March , 2018.

South City Mall , Kolkata.

It's the last day of work in this week for Navya. She is excited for the weekend like always. Friends, parties, and experiencing every news thing possible. All these are her weekend plans. She believes life is full of ups and downs but a person should remain happy and satisfied always.

Navya :- "Bro! show me the pair of shoes with conical tip."

Shop Assistant :- "Sure Madam. Just sit for few minutes."

By the time Navya was checking other shoes , she saw a familiar face. She can see the side view of the person. Her curiosity increased and she wanted to see the face at least once. Fortunately , the person was coming towards Navya and she got surprised because it's none other than Mr. Kabir Deshmukh.

Navya :- "Excuse me Sir."

Kabir :- "Yes."

Navya :- "I think we had an encounter earlier."

Mr. Kabir got lost in thoughts. He is a typical womanizer and for him remembering a random girl is quiet difficult. Still , within few minutes, he remembered her.

Kabir :- "Hi dear."

Navya :- "Hi."

Kabir :- "How are you ?"

Navya :- "I am fine. What about you ?"

Kabir :- "Good."

Navya :-  "Actually, we couldn't talk well that day and by chance this is our second meeting. Do you mind having a coffee nearby ?"

Kabir :- "Cool."

Knowingly or unknowingly they both were in good mood today and also want to have a proper interaction.

Cafe Coffee Day , Kolkata.

Kabir :- "What do you like to have ?"

Navya :- "Espresso."

Kabir :- "Cool."

Waiter :- "May I have your order please."

Kabir :- "Two espressos."

Waiter :- "Sure Sir."

Navya :- "Life is such a coincidence."

Kabir :- "Exactly. Will you mind asking your full name ?"

Navya :- "Not at all. I am Navya Iyer."

Kabir :- "I am Kabir Deshmukh."

Navya :- "OMG !"

Kabir :- "What happened ?"

Navya :- "Sorry. Are you 'The Industrialist Kabir Deshmukh."

Kabir :- "Yeah."

Navya :- "Can I take your autograph before leaving ?"

Kabir :- "Sure and relax. Just consider me as a normal acquaintance."

Navya :- "Okay."

Kabir :- "Miss Navya ! If you don't mind we can know each other."

Navya :- "I live in Kolkata with my Aunty. I am an Electronics Engineering Graduate and working in Kolkata since 2 years. I have stayed here for 15 years and can also understand Bengali well."

Kabir :- "I am confused."

Navya :- "Huh."

Kabir :- "You told that since 2 years you are working here and at the same time you told that you are staying here since 15 years and understand Bengali well."

Navya :- "Yeah. Before getting transfer in Kolkata , I have worked in Chennai for 3 years and now for few years I most probably work here only."

Kabir :- "Cool."

Navya :- "I thought you will also share something about your life."

Kabir :- "Sure. I am from Pune and have one Sister. She is pursuing BBA from NMIMS , Mumbai. Most of the time I travel across India for business purpose."

Navya :- "Great."

Their gossip didn't stop and by that time waiter came with 'The Espresso'.

Waiter :- "Sir, Mam. Your order please."

Navya and Kabir (together) :- "Sure."

Both of them had a great time together. As soon as Kabir reached hotel room , he switched on his laptop and send FB friend request to Navya. He felt different today and hopes for deepening this contact.

Navya too felt good. After dinner she opened her FB and instantly smiled. She accepted Kabir's friend request. She stalked his complete profile and at the same time keeping his autograph with her.
