Met him

He started breathing heavily. As if his life was dependent on those each breath and in that girl, who suddenly came from nowhere and saved him.

He couldn't describe how relieved and grateful he felt towards her. He suddenly felt like it was all a dream.

Because of the crowd he didn't get the chance to get himself free from the shoe. Not to mention the way people were walking over him kind of scared his guts too.

He tried to call for help but everyone ignored his voice. He got anxious with his helplessness for the first time.

But that girl saved him at his peak time. Now the people around them finally noticed him. They were angry as the escalator was stopped because of him, but to fake their 'so called' humanity no one said anything and stepped down from the escalator one by one.

Krish thankfully looked out for that girl. Where everyone ignored him, only she saw him in danger. Only she took the step to save him by pressing the emergency stop button. Above all she protected him with her body as a shield.

Before Krish could say anything, that girl had already loosened his lace from the shoe before removing it completely. Once the lace was removed she moved his feet away from the escalator for safety.

"Bandage your wounds, leave before it starts again." The girl said and backed away to leave.

"No wait!" Krish shouted for her. He quickly stood up. The girl stopped but didn't turn to his call.

Now as they were out of the crowded area, Krish's mind got a lot clearer than before.

He wanted to talk to her face to face but then he noticed something. The girl's back was drenched.

Her white shirt got a coffee stain all over her back. Fortunately the quality of her shirt wasn't bad and it didn't get transparent because of the wetness.

Then he remembered that the hot coffee which was about to fall on him did not come for him. The blisters he thought he would get didn't occur either.

But now seeing that girl's back, he understood who saved him from that unfortunate thing.

His heart softened but also raced with the thought of her action to save him. His mind already built up an angel image for that girl.

Unlike what he imagined, the girl wasn't as patient as he had thought. She again started moving to leave the arena.

Krish hurriedly ran and stood before her. Taking a few deep breaths he looked at her finally. "Thank you for what-.... You..." He couldn't continue anything more to her.

All his attention shifted to her eyes and face. The moment he saw her face completely, he was shocked but more like bewitched by her beauty.

The girl actually looked like a real angel. That beauty could not be described in words. Her white skin has its own glow and blush.

Her overall appearance was not just divine but jaw dropping too.

Her big glittering eyes made his heart beat racing crazily. Those plump lips were hypnotising him.

His mind was telling him to look away, as it's not right to stare at other women this way, but his heart has his own plan.

Krish never felt this attractive to anyone. He couldn't take his eyes away from her.

"Excuse me?" The girl looked at him blankly. When you say blankly, it was emotionless completely, as if whatever happened was nothing related to her, or she is also part of the crowd who ignored him earlier. She plainly looked at him.

Krish opened his mouth to speak up but again forgot to say a word. After a number of tries he finally spoke. "I... Thanks... Thank you for helping me out just now. It would have been worse if you had not come for me."

Pearl only gave him another glance with a slight nod before swiftly avoiding him to go on her way.

Seeing her going away again, he ran to her side before overtaking and standing right in front of her.

"Wait please. You helped me. I would like to repay the debt if possible." Krish said.

"No thanks." She said and wanted to leave but Krish didn't let her go.

Krish was a little baffled by her continuous rejection, but he was adamant of having a conversation with her too. Especially when he thinks about the blisters he could or she might have because of him. He couldn't help but tense about her health.

"Listen, you must not get red burns on your back. Let me take you to the hospital first. I'll ask someone to get you a new shirt direct to the hospital." He worriedly said.

The girl sighed. One could only guess what she was thinking.

Krish genuinely got curious about her thoughts and emotions at that moment. However all he got again was...

"No thanks."

This time that girl forcefully moved forward to get herself away from Krish. But to add something more unfortunate to her unlucky day, she bumped into another man, who was carrying a file which fell down instantly because of her.

'pak..' All of its pages got scattered on the ground.

"..." Emmett looked down to see his scattered file and then to the girl who was looking down frustratingly. Unknowingly he had an indulgent smile on his face.

Earlier he was with his VP and other directors in a meeting when he saw her. He was surprised to see her there.

It's been a week since he met her. In fact even after all these months they never met properly. After seeing her at the same place as him again, he was a little disturbed or should say restless.

All this week for the funeral process he was visiting Mallaya mansion everyday but still they never met. And today again they are there but still not together.

He didn't mind it at first and decided to ignore her. However he couldn't help himself from looking away from her. He stopped himself from acting on whim, until he saw her saving that man with her body.

He couldn't believe that, that girl would think of using her body to save a stranger again. He instantly stood up with frustration and little anger. He never preferred anyone to take themselves this lightly and be this reckless for others.

Not minding those directors or what file he was holding, he went out of the room right away.

Seeing her walking away from that man he wanted to smack her back head to make her realise what pain is. Just like last time when she ignored her forehead wound, this time she was ignoring her burnt back.

But now when she is standing in front of him he forgot what to say. It's the first time he saw her this closely. He had planned a lot to say but in the end got nothing more to say.

"... Sigh .. I am sorry." Pearl apologised helplessly. She was really in a hurry and had no time to meddle into any random situation.

Bending down, she helped the man to collect those files again.

"It's okay. You can leave." Emmett faintly replied.

"Are you alright?" Krish spoke to her and bent down to help her too.

Pearl wanted to help but as she was in a hurry, she stood up to leave. "I am really Sorry, but I really need to leave right now." Saying that she turned to leave.

"Wait."
