Abhikshith smiled to himself remembering the day he met Kruthika for first time.

*It was a normal day, where he enjoyed the party with his younger brother Abhilash Bhargav and his friends. His younger brother Abhilash is also an actor but not as successful as his brother though but he is similar to his brother. They entered the film industry without having any fame of their parents' or relatives.

As they were having a conversation question arose about Abhikshith's next project.

"By the way Abhikshith which is your upcoming project?", asked his friend Gaurav who was his college friend who was enjoying his whiskey.

"The title had not been fixed but the script is good", said Abhikshith and narrated the script to them. In the script there was a scene where the hero goes to heroine dressed as female to know her feelings.

Gaurav said,"Stop what did you say? Hero dresses as female and approaches heroine to know her feelings. Dude let's be practical I bet any girl would recognise who's a woman and who's not"

"Not all the time when your makeup is perfect. I don't think women are that sharp. Few might be but it's rear", said Abhikshith.

"Oh really. Okay now I give you a dare, wear a burkha and tie the veil such that only your eyes are visible be anything you want, be a waiter, driver anything I'm sure you would be caught even if you try your level best as I can't bring all the make up artists here", challenged Gaurav."But if the any woman recognises you then you lose. It's risk will you do it" he added.

"Okay I accept your challenge and I'll prove you wrong. At this time I can find work at airport as driver because passengers are 24*7 there ", said Abhikshith.

"Okay I'll arrange for your costume", said Gaurav, he left and returned back with bag of burkha and veil."Hear wear this"

Abhikshith got dressed in it and inserted a spy camera in it, took a rental taxi and went to airport, time was 5:23am. He had to wait for half an hour to get a passenger but atleast there must be one woman.

Luckily it was a woman who was dressed up like an officer and she didn't have any luggage with her apart from her handbag. Woman sat in the front seat beside him, the woman was no one but Kruthika. He saw her talking in Telugu, the language which he was familiar with. He heard that she was discussing about cooking food, arranging her plans and she read a message from friend regarding her wedding, he didn't care about it, but as he was driving he found out that she called all men as dogs.

He couldn't control his anger and made sniff. The women fell silent for rest of the journey. She got down at her destination and while giving him the amount, she dropped some coins and informed that tire was punctured. When he got down to look at this and when he was going to change the tire, that woman clutched his hand and starred at him.

He was afraid of being caught by her and losing his bet, what if she gathers people here and creates a big issue. When a person lies or tried to hide something he doesn't look into eyes while communicating.

Abhikshith was no different, while woman was looking him into his eyes, he was seeing other things to avoid looking into her eyes. Woman left his hand not even uttering a single word she stepped towards her home.

Abhikshith returned to his friends, gave them the spy camera to see if he had won the bet or not. Everyone knew Telugu language and understood what Kruthika said.

After watching the entire video, Gaurav said,"You lost this dare".

"No I didn't", argued Abhikshith.

"Yes bro. You lost it.", said Abhilash.

"No I didn't. Explain me how and why did I lose my dare?", asked Abhikshith.

"That woman knew that you are not a female. To confirm again she clutched your hands. With touch, she confirmed it but still choosed to remain silent", explained Gaurav.

"If she knew she could have been shouted and might gathered people, right!", said Abhikshith still arguing.

"I don't know why she didn't do it, but I'm 100% sure that she knew you are a man. She realised it when you made sniff at her statement ALL MEN ARE DOGS and she confirmed it by clutching your hand and looking to your eyes. When I gave you rental taxi it was perfectly fine in condition and there were no thorns on the road to puncture the tire, it was her she made you to step out and see how your body posture looked like. Come on observe the video carefully", said Gaurav who pointing him to laptop.

Abhikshith observed the video again and it was true what Gaurav said, but the ultimate question was why did she remain to stay silent, she had many points to prove and create a big issue but she remained silent.

"I must say whoever she might be, she's very clever and she's beautiful also. She's the combination of beauty with brains. Abhikshith you must thank her. And did you realise that scene is so dumb", said Gaurav as if he had won something.

"People like to watch dumb things on screen, which never really happens in real life, they love to watch it", said Abhikshith in slow dull voice who was mesmerized by that woman.

But he didn't knew who she was, but he got an opportunity to know her. She read the message about her friend's wedding and said that she would be taking a leave of one week but didn't knew when she was leaving. He hired a bodygard and his full-time duty was to follow that woman, where ever she goes apart from her work and home.

He got to know her details by this. Since he had shoots he had to return the next day to resume his work. But he was thinking about her, the lack of answer to his question disturbed him, eventually he started to have feelings for her, even though she was not as fair as milk but her dusky skin attracted him, she was beautiful the way she was. She had charm in her face and twinkling eyes.

Before Kruthika's arrival to the boarding counter Abhikshith came and requested the lady to give Kruthika the business class ticket which he bought for her, as an offer from the airlines. He gave details such as her name and age to the lady, which was enough to recognise her among others.

Kruthika went there lady checked her documents twice to make sure it was the same Kruthika mentioned by Abhikshith, and offered the ticket to her. Kruthika accepted it and went to business class.
