Secrecy of Regrets

24 Intro session

24 Intro session

After few minutes I smelled popcorns! And I saw Charlotte coming out of kitchen with a big bowl of Popcorns. She placed the bowl on coffee table and resumed our movie. I still didn't ask her sudden liking for Bollywood movie to confirm my assumptions.

While taking popcorns from the bowl I saw Ethan taking handful of popcorns stuffing them in his dinosaur mouth! I looked at him shocked.

"What?" Ethan asked his voice muffled with stuffed popcorns.

"You are not watching movie!" I said. He looked at me as if I m real or not.

"So...?" Ethan trailed his question taking handful of popcorns to his open mouth slowly ready for any attack from my side... I would have laughed at him so hard but there is this serious situation. What if he eats faster than me and finish my popcorns!

"Do you promise to make me another bowl of popcorns if these get finished?" I asked holding bowl in air.

"I again want to ask you the same question – Are you normal?" Ethan asked.

"No I am not. But you should know that I am not in mood to bake anything. I am just clarifying the things here." I explained him.

He shook his head and snatched the bowl. For my peace of my mind he put bowl on coffee table I smiled at him sweetly.

"Okay, enough of this movie. I think you have watched this movie already as you keep delivering the dialogues. Why don't we try to know each other?" Ethan suggested.

I saw Mr. Jerk's looking at me for split seconds. By the look on his face anybody can tell he is totally not interested in this intro session. I am not excited to let him know about me also! Ha!

"From where shall we start?" I asked.

"From our introduction to yours. How does it sound?" Charlotte suggested. I nodded.

"Hii. I am Charlotte Justine Jansen. I live here and you already know why and... (she looked at everyone in the room confused) and... that's me for you, Charlotte!" Charlotte... I smiled at her knowing what she wanted to say.

"Hey, I am Ethan Samuel Steiner, originally from Austria. My family had settled here long time ago. And rest of the things you'll eventually know." He said it with wink not pervert type though.

After that my head automatically turned towards Jerk. He didn't have any intention to introduce himself I knew it.

"Jack, Jack William Nicholson." That's it Ladies and Gentlemen. But the way he tells his name radiates his authority. I nodded thankful to him for not turning me down this time.

Now is my turn because again these three maniacs are staring at me.

"Hi. I am Jiyana Agnihotri. I am from India, by language I am 'Marathi' and by residence I am from 'Gujarat' one of the well known states of India and now I am here in Amsterdam. I got admission in Amsterdam Business School for masters in Accounting & Finance field."

"Are you graduated from India?" Ethan interrupted me as always.

"Yes. I m actually post graduated and Professionally a Chartered Accountant in India that is Certified Public Accountant in your country. Actually I want to be a CPA in your country and that's main reason to come here."

"Wait, what?" Ethan looked completely in surprise and I saw Jack peek his head in my direction only after knowing my qualification.

"What is your age dude?" Ethan asked still in shock. Charlotte elbowed him in side of his stomach. He winced in pain but nonetheless concentrated on my answer.

"It's perfectly fine if you don't want to answer that stupid question." Charlotte covered for him.

"I don't mind telling it anyways. I am 24." I said.

"Whoa!! That's amazing. You seem pretty intelligent to me. You are just like Zacky when it comes to achieve the goals." Ethan blurted out and with that our eyes met and that tingling sensation is returned.
