Kya Yeh Hai Mohabbatein?

Sach Much Ravan Kumar

Ishita asked the receptionist where she could find the restroom. The receptionist pointed to the right. Ishita rushed into there. She stood by the sink and looked in the mirror. She widened her smile. Wow, she thought. Today is the day. Aaj mein Appa ki saare wishes puri karungi. She quickly checked over her makeup and hair to make sure she was presentable then walked out. Noticing on her watch she was a little late, she started speed walking. As she was about to turn into the door, she hit a body.

She jerked in reverse from instinct, almost falling. She shut her eyes, afraid of her falling but felt a pair of hands holding her waist. After a few seconds of realizing she had not hit the floor, she opened her eyes to familiar eyes. She stared into a man who was also staring at her. It took her a few seconds but she soon realized it was Raman.

"I-uh..." She began to stutter as she started getting up to get out of his arms.

"I think aap mujhe thank you bolna chahti hai, aur uske liye you're welcome. Abh aapki laparvai puri hogai ho to mein jaun?" Raman spoke rudely. He was already running late to his meeting and now after bumping into Ishita, he wasted more time.

Raman didn't wait for Ishita's response and hurried to his meeting room. On his way, he began wondering what a dentist was doing in his business office. He quickly shrugged off the thought, as he had more pressing matters at hand.

He bursted into the meeting room, and everyone turned to look at him. "Sorry, subah traffic bahot tha issi liye late hogya. Aap log please continue kijye." He said. He quickly took his seat and started paying attention to the meeting.

Meanwhile, Ishita was still astounded by Raman's rudeness. Accha naam meina rakha hai. Ravan kumar. Bilkul personality fit hoti hai. She quickly shook her head to rid of negative thoughts before one fo her most important days of her life.

She fixed herself and then walked into the room. She was greeted by 4 faces, of very well known investors. She introduced herself and then started on her presentation. She connected her computer to the projector and greeted the 4 people.

"Namaste. Mera naam Ishita Iyer hai aur mein ek Dentist hoon. Mein yahan aap ki investment ki liye aayi hoon. Meine kahi saal clinic mein kaam kiya hair aur abh mujhe lagta hai mein apani khud ki clinic khul sakti hoon." She started.

"Mere appa hamesha wish kerte ki mein apni aap khud paidh peh khadi rahu aur aaj mein yeh karne jaa rahi hoon. Meine bahut saare paise studies mein use kiye hai, aur abhi mein apani clinic kholne ke liye paise nahi hai. Issi mein mujhe aapki help chaiye." She made eye contact with them.

"Thank you Miss.Ishita for telling us your story." They started. "Lekin hum medical businesses mein invest nahi karte..."

Ishita was confused by this statement. Her friend Venkat had talked to them and used their investments to open a pediatric office for kids. He was the one who recommended them to her. "Par mera ek dost hai, Venkat, aur usne mujhe bataya ki mein aap logon ke paas aun?" She questioned, waiting for an answer getting irritated.

Yeh log mujhe keh rahe ki medical mein invest nahi karte lekin apane dost mein toh kiye. Usme or mujhmein kya fark hai?!? She glared at them, as they stuttered to gather their words to give her a response.

What do you think? Why are they lying to her? And will she receive the investment from the people? Why are they making excuses about not giving her the investment when they clearly gave it to her friend?
