Time - around 12:40 pm
Akira was almost ready when she heard the doorbell ring and ran to get the door . She was wearing a beautiful peach colored line dress which was accentuating her features . She wore matching sneakers to complement her look . She had her hair in loose curls and was looking nothing less than a pretty peach .
When she opened the door, she found Vikram holding a bouquet of baby"s breath which was Akira"s favorite thing in the world . He was dressed in casuals but still looked like a fas.h.i.+on model who has jumped straight out of a catalog .
She immediately beamed with happiness and grabbed the flowers from his hands .
"For me!!!?", she asked innocently with Bambi eyes .
"No, it"s for Mike," Vikram said in a sarcastic tone and rolled his eyes .
"You are so sweet Vikram," said Akira and rushed to hug him, but unfortunately she stumbled because of the door-mat and fell straight into Vikram"s arms . His arms embraced her like a safety net and he hauled her back quickly so that she didn"t fall . She had lost her footing and when he pulled her back towards him something unexpected happened . His lips accidentally grazed hers and her eyes opened wide in shock .
There was a surge of electricity within and he became all numb . He wasn"t able to get a grip of things happening around him . It happened for a fraction of a second but he felt like he was floating in the clouds . His mind wasn"t able to think any further nor his body was responding to him . He literally had to shake his head to get back to reality .
When Akira saw Vikram shake his head after the mad encounter, she felt weird . She held his arms which were holding her in a tight grip and freed herself . She looked at him and said -
"It was just an accident . Why are you acting like I stole a kiss from you?"
Then she darted inside before Vikram could open his mouth to say something .
He instantly regretted shaking his head . He did it to shrug off his wild and unconquerable thoughts and not because he was repulsed . But now she took it otherwise and it was difficult for him to make her understand . He so badly wanted to rip his heart open and tell her how exactly he felt, but he kept quiet because he knew this wasn"t the right time . He didn"t want to sound like an opportunist who was waiting for her to break up with her boyfriend to start up things for himself .
While riding Vikram"s car, Akira didn"t take the front seat . She sat in the back because she was still angry with him . Mike who was sitting in the front seat had no idea what had happened between the two . But he knew that something was wrong as they both were sulking . He asked them twice and they unanimously told both the times - "Nothing" . So he decided not to ask any further and decided to act like a mock spectator .
Vikram adjusted his rear-view mirror so that he could catch a glimpse of her . When Akira saw him adjusting the mirror she thought it otherwise . She a.s.sumed that Vikram was adjusting it because he didn"t want to look at her . She couldn"t understand why he was hating her so much for such a small accident which was so not her fault .
She pouted out of anger and asked him - "Is my face so bad that you have to keep adjusting your mirror?"
Before Vikram could reply, Mike jumped in and said - "Jeez Akira, the purpose of the mirror isn"t to look at people sitting behind . That happens only in your Rom-Coms", and then he started laughing hysterically . He thought Vikram would also join him in the laugh but he was dead serious .
Utter silence prevailed in the car . The silence was so intense that it was almost deafening .
Five minutes later Akira got an email and she screamed at the top of her lungs after reading it .
"What"s wrong?", asked Mike .
"What"s wrong? Ask me what is so right you dumb-head", replied Akira .
"Ok, what is so right you dumb-head?", asked Mike with a hint of sarcasm .
Any other day she would have kicked him bad, but since she was super happy she decided to spare him and said - "I got an interview call from Delphie HR for the interns.h.i.+p that I had applied . Feels like finally, my stars are s.h.i.+ning . "
"I know its too premature of me to be happy, but I can"t help it . Finally, something good is going to happen", she added and beamed with happiness .
Vikram was very content to hear it .
"Looks like today is a good day . First, a kiss from her and now looks like my plan is working as expected", Vikram thought to himself and a bright smile spread on his face .
