"Coffee?"Ashay asked with some hesitation but building all the courage in the world.
"Lets get some breakfast." Reeya said. He would have never believed she would give in to his request so easily.
Would this be their first date?His eyes sparkled.
"Oh..oke" Anxious and impatient he took a step. "There is a Cafe' nearby."
"No, I'll take you to a good place." She wants a hearty breakfast.
As he walked a few steps, Reeya said, "Wait."
Ashay stopped in his tracks but froze. Did she change her decision?
He turned to see her pointing on the ground.
"Your phone" she said when he was still dumbly staring at her.
Besides, how could he not pick and check his phone he dropped?
"Its working right?" she shrugged. The rich dude didn't care about it yet her heart wept for the broken phone.
"All good." He picked it up. Ignoring the large crack on the screen, he pushed it in his pocket. Her heart fell when it almost slipped again from the limp hand.
Ashay turned to walk and didn't notice the panic in her eyes.
If he was Ira's little brother then he and Ira had 7 year difference. So now he would be twenty...twenty one!
And so they had a four- five year difference?
Now when she glanced at his face sober and in broad daylight , he lookedyounger
She had gone crazy. It was only a night. Though that was not a bad feeling, she had to admit she enjoyed it a bit. What's this? He's Ira's lil bro, a kid.
After the night Reeya didn't wish to entangle with the man anymore. Wished to let it remain as a sweet memory. Now …
The emotions in her heart are tangled, she decided to be cold and selfish with men hereon. She had never thought of getting involved with any man.
Ashay Rai, the famous playboy was back in town and somehow got entangled with her. Although they never talked about love,
but now that they had actually done this kind of thing, she was a little embarrassed, he turned out to be Ira's brother.
He had build a reputaion hard to delete from the minds of people.
His mysterious hit and run case, the actress molestation scandal, the bar fights, drunken nights, girls and his naughtiness made him famous for being a total spoiled brat!
Reeya never held judgements about others true, she didn't believe in so called 'labels' people give to others.
If you label a kid as 'bad' he will never try to be 'good'
There was not any reason to not trust people first and accept as they are, rather than analysing their right and wrong.
Besides, Ashay gave her good vibes from the time he met her. The media and reporters really exaggerate stuff!
Letting all the chaos in her mind aside, she brought him to a yellow food wagon. In any case, being Ira's friend she couldn't totally ignore his resistance.
"Oh my! It's my lucky day! Red is here!" An old woman came to the window in a jiff when she saw them approaching.
"The smell is so good!" Reeya sniffed the air and a bright smile formed on her face.
"Hey! What's your relationship?" She winked at Reeya. The young handsome man looked a good catch.
"I forgot my wallet, brought him to pay for me." She said indifferent, not noticing the falling smile on Ashay's face.
"Liar, We would have fed you even if you became penniless one day." A middle-aged man came to them after handling the customers on his side.
He brought a yellow box, "Here's our best menu."
"Tandoori Chicken!" The slender fingers stained with oil as she picked a chicken leg and gnawed on meat slowly savouring its taste.
