Dating my fiance

"Maa! again a blind date... I am sick of meeting a person while imagining to spend the rest of my life with him and then you guys out of nowhere reject him. You know how troublesome it is for me. Sometimes you introduce such jokers that I don't even know whether to cry or to laugh. And then if I find someone acceptable you come with a list of excuses like he will go bankrupt in few months, or his father is a drunkard, or his mother is so cruel that she will torture me rest of the life...oh my god! The way you guys search for their information, even professional detectives can't." said Mohini when her Mother called her asking to attend a blind date with Aryaman.

"Dear, then why don't you yourself find a guy, at least it would save us the trouble.", asked her mother.

She answered - " Me finding a guy... what a joke maa... If I was able to find a person who would meet my standards then why would I still be single at the age of 28"

"Yeah... I forgot how highly my daughter thinks of herself." said Mohini's mother jokingly.

" If you are done then I have to hang up. Nina is waiting for me."

"Wait wait wait... here is the main thing. Aryaman's family wants you to meet him tomorrow." her mother said hurriedly.

This was an unexpected blow. When her mother told her about blind date she thought it would be arranged after few days. To meet him tomorrow was certainly not a good idea. She had to adjust her schedule if she was going to meet someone.

"Wohhh... tomorrow... are they insane or what? Why are they in such a hurry? Remember what I said earlier. You should be hundred and ten percent sure."

"We are hundred and fifty percent sure. He is one of the most eligible bachelor in the complete country and is heir of the Nanda Enterprises. He is the best one so far." replied her mother.

"What do you mean so far...and for your information I don't need to worry about someone's wealth or care if he owns Chanda or Nanda Enterprises. I myself earn enough money. Mark my words maa, if there is a single possibility of him getting rejected by you later then I certainly AM NOT going to meet him. "

"This time we are sure dear. I will text you the address. Make sure you dress nicely and be..." her mother didn't even complete her sentence when she interrupted. " Make sure you dress nicely and be polite to him no matter what. Don't just bombard him with questions and questions. Act civil. if you don't like him then don't worry there are plenty of fishes in he sea." she said mimicking her mother's tone. " I already have listened your speech for three times. I can even repeat your words while sleeping. I just wonder why are you guys so determined to kick me out as soon as possible. I have to go. Take care. Bye bye!"

Hello honey, wondering what just happened, are you?

Okay so let's start by introducing Mohini. Her full name is Mohini Patidar, some even call her Monti. She is 28 and C.O.O. of Bronson Corps that is Asia's leading steel producing company. If you are thinking that she was born with a silver spoon then you are definitely wrong. Nah, if you are thinking that she became C.O.O. of such company by seducing some rich men then again you are wrong. She achieved all her goals, all thanks to her efforts and firm determination. She was brought up in a middle class family and knows the meaning of hardship very well. Even if her family couldn't provide her luxuries, they made sure to fulfill all her needs. I won't be exaggerating if I say that she is Hermione-Granger-Level over achiever. Well you will come to know about it as you will keep on reading more chapters about her life.

Let me tell you a secret. Shhhh! Don't tell anyone about it. The secret is that Mohini has been hiding a secret, if revealed, can change people's life, to be more precise, people whom she loves along with hers.

Back to the present day. Mohini had been working the complete day, attending meetings and doing what not. Exhausted by the workload she decided to take break. pressing her intercom she said- " can you please get me some coffee". Leaning back she rested her head on the headrest and stretched her hands. just then her phone went off. It was a call from her mother. Well you know the rest of the story.

Nina, her secretory spoke once she disconnected her phone keeping the cup and a red file on the desk." Ma'am your coffee and this is the final draft of the contract that you asked for. You may notify me if any changes are needed. After that we can get it signed by Mr. Boman."

" Thanks. And listen I am supposed to meet someone at three tomorrow so you need to adjust tomorrow's schedule."

" I will get it done. If there is nothing else then I will take my leave. "

'I have no problem being single. In fact I love it. But I just wonder how would have things been if only I had dated someone, I had someone to call MINE, I had someone who had my back no matter what happens.' Mohini thought while sipping her coffee.

_________________________

Mohini had already finished her work so she decided to leave for the café where she was supposed to meet Aryaman.

While driving her brain was filled with questions like Is she going to like him? Is he the one? What would he be like? Will he be any different? The last three times when she went to meet those jokers, she herself did some research but with such short notice this time how would she have the time to.

When she reached the café she still had half an hour left so she took out A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini and got lost in the world of her beloved Mariam and Laila jaan. I apologize if I forgot to mention that BOOKWORM is the first word to describe Mohini. She never goes anywhere without bringing a book with her. That is because, as she says, 'my soul finds ease and rest in companionship of books and never for a second I'd like my soul to be restless.'

After some time she was dragged back into the real world by a call from Nina. Despite the fact that she was her secretary, they were more like close friends and got along with each other quite well.

She answered her call in a jolly tone- "hey babes! something happened?"

But after listening the reason why she had called, her jolly mood was nowhere to be seen and the monster living inside her had woken up.

"What the actual fudge ! How could he do that? We were about to get the contract signed and seal the deal. God... I swear I will..." she went on rambling in colorful language.

How could she not fume with anger. After all it took Mohini and her team one month to get here and suddenly that Boman jerk backed out.

Nina said- "Calm down Ma'am, we will figure out something."

Take a deep breath. Inhale. Exhale. Great. You can't let this matter affect your mood.

She looked at her watch. It was almost time so she said to her-" Listen I will call you later. Bye"

She looked around the café to see if he had arrived or not. At this moment, she regretted not asking for his photo when her mother texted the address of this café.

When she turned around a wonderful sight caught her eyes. A man, standing neither far away nor close to her, was smiling at her. She was not sure if he was Aryaman or someone else. But whoever he was, he was really handsome. His green, emerald-like eyes were full of warmth. His black tuxedo highlighting them even more. He had precise features and soft black hair. His smile wasn't broad but still it was friendly as well as alluring.
