Chapter 18 - A date?

Latter that day, when people starts to come in the office, jiya and jay both twins came through the lift, and sit on their respective places, and greet some people in there way, and as soon as they sat, a woman picked her head from her cabin and said that boss and that kirschtein are eating together again. And they both looked at the direction of the office.

" Again, it's what, three days in a row now. Are they dating? " Asked the woman. And jay replied.

" Maybe. " And she cracks her back.

" He defended her in front of everyone, and made me do an ad in less than an hour. So you can see. "

" They are definitely dating. " Said the other woman, Jiya, ignored them and focused on his boss's office.

And some time later near the coffee machine, when dizzy was pouring herself a coffee. She heard someone calling for. And when she turned, she saw Jiya standing there, looking at her.

" You scared me. '' Said dizzy, catching the cup from spilling. .

" Sorry for that, I wasn't looking. " Said Jiya, without any weight on her words .

" So how's your day? " Asked jiya leaning on the wall.

" Good, how's yours. " Her casual reply.

" Nothing, just me, my sister and the office. Had quite a lot of work lately, those storms, bomb blast, weird things, you know usual stuff, is anything new with you? . " And dizzy finished her cup.

" Nothing, just that old boring stuff. "

" Hmm. "said jiya. And dizzy starts to walk off.

And seeing her go, jiya asked her a question.

" Are you two doing stuff? "

" What? " Asked dizzy.

" I mean, did you tell him about what we talk earlier? "

" No! . " Said dizzy.

" Oh-ok! " And she looked down, playing the guilt card.

" I shouldn't have asked for your help. '' She said, looking down. And her guilt card worked like a charm. Dizzy immediately faulted and went to console him.

Her planes worked like a charm, and dizzy went to fill her promise.

She was sitting in front of his boss, who was doing some paperwork, and she was continuously giving him glanses. The torn pieces of the book were now on the side,, stacked together, mear the tv, which has there news channel on, and it was showing a news about a carnival, which raaghv visited yesterday . And both were doing their jobs. But her behaviour and posture was making her awkward.

" You have something to say? '' Asks Raghav while looking at his paperwork.

" Hmm? "She replied.

" You kept giving me glances, is anything on your mind? "asked raghav.

" No nothing just, thinking. " Said dizzy.

" About what ? " Asks raghav.

" Nothing, just, I was, I was. "

" Relax, calm down, breathe, and now say. " And she did just that.

" What's your think about marriage? "

" Are you asking this because of that girl sakshi? So I'll tell you I was just kidding, I don't have a plain marrying a kid "and she nodded.

" But if you want the answer, I'll ask by myself or from a point of view. "

" Both," she replied. And raghav looked at her, and then put his pen aside. He read her, and she was asking this question unwillingly.

" Well first professionally I'll say, it's beneficial. It's a long term profit, you'll gain the most trustful partners in your life, family. You'll know everyone, who to trust and who not to. And there are some mental and physical benefits as well. But if you ask me, I'll pass. I'm not interested in that. "

" Why not? " Asked dizzy.

" Because, I didn't see anything in that for me. I have money, and I don't care who'll take over my business, there are many people, some are even better than me. And I don't wanna spend my time playing with kids. "

" You don't like kids? " Asked dizzy.

" Not particularly, I like them, and those little demons liked me as well, but I don't want the responsibility of being a father. " And dizzy looked at him.

" And why is that? " She asked…

" Do I look like a father figure to you ? " He said with a laugh. And the room became silent.

" I'm not an ideal figure for anyone, I'm just a rich billionaire, not even a playboy. Till my college dates, I feared talking to girls. "

" So you are not gonna have kids? "

" No! Maybe I'll adopt someone? "

" Why? "

" Never mind, it'll be the same as that. " And he shrugs the question.

" So you never loved someone? "

" I did, but I never loved a woman like a man, you know that boyfriend girlfriend thing. We were friends, nothing more nothing less. "

" Oh! " She said in a sad tone.

" Is anything wrong, miss dizzy. "

" Nothing!! Just , you know? "

" Is something bothering you? " And she looked into his eyes.

" Can you do me a favour? "

And in the night, jay was dressed in a proper western dress and makeup. A short one piece black dress , with her phone and purse in the other hand, and good makeup on her face .

" Where are you going sis? " Jay asked her sister jiya.

" On a date . "

" With whom? " She asked.

" Boss. " And she completed her makeup.

" Who's boss? "

" Our boss, Mr raghav. " And she starts walking off.

" Jiya , wait! Isn't he dating that cristchian? " Asked her sis.

" No, in fact she helped me get this date. "

" What really? How ? "

" I asked her nicely. " And her sister looked concerned.

"Are you trying to be a gold digger? "

" No, why do you think that, I like him. " And Jay grabbed her hand and turned her over .

" Then why did you dress like one? What happened to you, you never wore this kind of dress before, and you yourself said he isn't your type. " And jiya frees herself from her sister's grip and says,

" Just changed my mind, and I like these dresses, and don't be jealous. "

" What did you say? "

" Jealous aren't you. I know it, you loser glasses wearing little sister, going on a date with our boss, I can see that. "

" Jiya. " She yelled. And then her face shifted to a worried one.

" What happened to you? " Asked jay in worry.

" Nothing, I just became better. " And she lifts the home.

And a taxi was waiting for her outside.She sats in and took off, and her sister watched this whole ordeal.

In a fancy hotel, Raghav and jiya were eating their meals. Jiya was blushing like hell, and Raghav was just eating.

" So, ah. Mr Raghav. What do you like to eat? " And Raghav answers.

" In the morning, sandwich and oj. In the lunche some rice with vegetables. "

" Mhh, nice. " As her reply.

" So ! What do you like to do in your spare time? "

" Me? Nothing, just some heavy lifting. "

" Heavy lifting, what's your record in the lifting?"

" A Boulder the size of a small mountain. " And she laughed uncharacterly.

" That's funny, anything else? "

" Not much, just saving the world."

And she laughed again.

" You are funny? "

" Am I? " He asked…

" So I wanted to ask you a question, can I ask?" Raghav asked her. And he replied in a yes. And raghav looked straight in her eyes.

" What do you want from me? " And she looked at him, and stopped smiling a bit.

" What - what do you mean? " She asked him.

" What do you want from me? Plain and simple."

And she looked at him .

" I like you. "was her reply.

" And? "asked raghav.

" And, I want to marry you. "said jiya.

" But I don't wanna get married. "

" Marriage ? What are you bringing to the table that'll keep me loyal to you? "

" Excuse me? " She asked in confusion.

" I said, what are you gonna bring to the table to keep me loyal to you? "

" What? Why? I don't understand. "And raghav got a serious look.

" I'm a businessman jiya, I don't invest my time in something that does not interest me. I came here so I can see how you can grow my interest. So I'm telling this one more time, what're you gonna bring to the table? " And Jiya looked stunned for a moment.

" Nothing? " He said, seeing her stunned face. And she get out from her stopper.

" I-i'll love you. "

" I don't need love, anything else? "

" I'll take care for you. "

" I have servants, and other stuff. "

" I'll complete your needs, I'll be your life partner, always there for you. Whenever you need a shoulder I'll be there, whenever you need to talk I'll be there, whenever you feel alone, I'll be there for you. I can give you a family. "

" Whatever you say, any woman can give me."

" I have money for my needs, I have many women that'll profit from my business, and can be better life partners, and I'm sure they'll provide me a shoulder. And for talking, I've friends that know everything about me, few, but enough. And I've been alone since I went to Britain for my studies. And if we are talking about family, what happens if I don't need that. What else you specifically give me that no other woman can give me. " And she didn't reply, and tears started to pour from her eyes.

" I'm a billionaire, I can buy anything, as long as they are available for buying. Why would I need a woman like you? Give me one reason, whatever you said before, is nothing for me. " And she kept on looking at him with teary eyes.

" Can, can you give me a chance to see how much I love you,,,,,a week, a day. I'll try my best to show you how much I care for you. "

" No. '' Was his harsh reply.

" I didn't ask for that. I asked what you can offer. Why would I marry you and not a high profile model, not a billionaire's daughter, not a crazy and exotic Russian or Australian girl, or a calm and poetic Japanese and Bengali woman, why would I marry you instead of that woman. I wanted to know this. "He said pointing at the table, in a very serious voice. And she again, kept looking at him with tears in her eyes. And after some long glaring, she wiped her tears, and stood up.

" I'm sorry, Mr Raghav for wasting your time. " And she stood up and

And Raghav sighs.

" I thought you were smooth with girls."

" Yeh! "

" You go all business mode on her. Maybe you should have apologised. "

" I know, I said a lot of bad things that I shouldn't have. Maybe I said too much to her. " And be sighs.

" Why can't I have a normal date for once. Raghav said, and he stood up.

" You know what you said can be considered offensive to women. " .

" What? Are you feminine or what? This isn't America. And if a woman can demand a man by her looks, so can I, by my money . Raghav said, and stood up.

" But you shouldn't have insulted her, you know that in the old times, many wars happened because someone made a woman cry, right? "

" I know, but I was just stating some facts . And the world runs on facts, not on personal feelings.

" You know for a being such you are, you are twisted minded. " Said the all goat, which made Raghav stop.

" Well thank you, for the comment. "

After billing he left. And while sitting in his car, he felt something.

" Did you feel that? " Aksd raghav.

" What? " The old man asked.

" I felt Soma. "
