Chapter Nine

You asking me the same question multiple times, is not going to get him here any faster

Coffee shop:

“Bhai how long?” Myra asked this question for the 10th time in the last 10 minutes.

"He is on his way. He will be here any moment” Vihaan for the 10th time without any irritation as he was completely aware of her exicitement. She was wearing a floral skirt paired with a plain white top and a simple stole around her neck. She was looking simple beautiful and elegant. 

"He is here" Vaibhav said pointing towards the door  

"Where is he?" she turned immediately to have a look at him and they both started laughing seeing her actions. Tapping her foot to show them that she was annoyed, she looked away, hiding her embarrassed face.

"You asking me the same question again and again, is not going to get him here any faster" Vaibhav said

"He is here cupcake” Vihaan said "Bhai stop it" she said annoyingly 

"No he is really here this time" he said pointing towards the road, which they could see from the glass door. She immediately ran towards the glass wall which was showing a clear view of what was happening outside  

"That guy wearing, white tee shirt with blue jeans, he is your Ranbir” Vihaan said pointing towards Ranbir. She was watching him keenly and unknowingly she pressed her face on the glass wall.

‘Aiyappa. Is he for real? Or am I dreaming? If this is a dream, I don’t want to wake up. What a treat he is to my eyes! He is looking like Ranbir, no he is actually a little less than him, but still a hot piece of human begin, hehe. Ranbir, big thanks for sending this Ranbir to me. I love you so much. Muuaah!’ Myra was talking to herself, thanking her Aiyappa as well as her Ranbir.

She was lost in her thoughts when he came towards the coffee shop knocked at her face on the glass wall and winked at her as she was still stuck to the glass wall. Embarrassed she moved back to her seat. He entered and Vihaan waved his hand. Moving towards Vivaan, he came and took a seat beside Vibhav.

"Ranbir, meet my sister Myra Murthy" Vihaan introduced her to Ranbir. Flashing a warm smile to her, Ranbir turned to her

"Hi, I'm Ranbir Malohatra" he introduced himself extending his hand for a handshake.

"I dreamt of you all my life" she spoke sighing dreamily.

"What ??" he was stunned at her reply, Vaibhav and Vihaan slapped their forehead.   

"Ahem, nothing” she immediately composed herself.

"So, what is your name mysterious girl?" he said winking at her.

"Hi, I'm Myra Murthy" she said and shook hand with him. They both were so lost in each other that they realised that they were still holding their hands. Vihaan cleared his throat to grab their attention and was successful in doing so. They both immediately straightened themselves and Myra excused herself and hurried towards the washroom.

Ranbir's POV:

Oh my sweet heavens! What a sweet little surprise was in store for me in the form of this cute doll. I saw her while entering the café. She was standing, just like a little kid. Looking through the mirror, putting her hands on the sides of her face and her face completely glued to the glass wall. As soon as I entered Vihaan waved his hand and I moved towards them. Vihaan introduced her and I introduced myself.

The moment I looked into her eyes and said my name a sweet blush crept her cheeks. She was looking super lovely, her sweet voice, was like music to my ears. Her pouty lips and of course the gloss on it. Just one word to describe her. Adorably sexy!

She had minimal make up but was looking extremely beautiful. So simple yet elegant. We both were drowned in each other’s eyes when that Vihaan disturbed our sweet eye lock and she immediately rushed towards washroom, if I am not wrong.

"So your sister is the mysterious girl" I said as soon as she left.

"ah..ha.." Vihaan said cheerfully

"I’m completely bowled" I spoke dreamily forgetting the presence of the other two, in front of me and staring at her empty seat, where she was moments ago.

"Hello Romeo, stop right there. Don’t forget you are sitting with her brothers. Control yourself at least in front of us” Vihaan teased Ranbir. 

“Vihaan" I said giving him an fake angry glare.

End of Ranbir’s POV.

Meanwhile in washroom:

Aiyappa!! What was that! How can I be so stupid and blabber in front of him. What would be thinking about me! Stupid! Idiot! Monkey! And My Goodness, how hot is he. That jet black hair, those deep brown chocolate eyes. How I wish I could drown in them. Aiyappa thank you so much for bringing this Ranbir into my life if not the Ranbir I had dreamt till this morning. He is so hot! He is exactly everything I ever dreamt about.

I think he hits the gym very frequently., that physique is not easy to achieve. And I am pretty sure, he has a six pack hidden under that shirt of his. I think I should ask the manager to reduce the AC’s temperature. Ranbir’s hotness is too hot to handle. Hehehe. God why am I blabbering so much, I think I should go back, otherwise they’ll start thinking that I have a stomach bug or something. Eww that would be super weird.

After heaving a hearty talk with herself, Myra turned as she heard the door of the washroom being opened.

The girl who entered, was giving her weird looks. Feeling embarrassed Myra quickly ran away from there.

Ranbir's pov:

Where did she go. Its been quite sometime. Should I go and check if everything is fine? While I was in a dilemma, she came back and sat beside me. Actually she was sitting between me and Vihaan. It was a round table and I was happy, for that. She was next to me. Stop gushing like a teenager, I chided myself!

"Lets order something. I am little hungry" Vaibhav said breaking the silence and we called the waiter.

"Myra go first" Vihaan said  

"Umm today I want a cold coffee with extra ice-cream" she said and clapped her hands excitedly like a child. I was so lost in her that I didn't realise that everyone was looking at me for my order.

Mumbling a ‘Sorry’ I immediately straightened myself clearing my throat.

"Actually I also want a cold coffee. Would you like to share yours with me?" I asked looking at her and she blushed more. I was just feeling like kissing her blush right away, but keeping aside my thoughts, which were arising for I girl whom I just met, I looked at her for her response. She didn't speak but nodded a yes, looking down. Oh God! I’m really loving her expressions. She was playing with the bracelet in her hand and I just kept staring at her.

Vaibhav got a call and excused himself, but who cares I was just looking at my cute angel. Wait What! What did I call her! Angel! Yes, indeed she was one. I never felt something so strong for someone I had just met. She was driving me crazy at the very first meet.

She was looking at me from the corner of her eyes and finding me looking or probably staring at her she just blushed and immediately looked away.

"Guys, I am sorry. Me and Vaibhav need to leave immediately " Vihaan said as soon as he came back. "What, but why so soon? I mean Bhai is everything alright? Chacha and Chachi are fine right?" she immediately got up from her chair.

"Actually it is both yes and no" Vihaan replied.

Ranbir's POV:

"What? What happened? What’s so urgent that cant wait" Myra spoke and got up from the chair and stood beside Vihaan.

"There are some important documents that needs our signatures immediately, because the department head is going on leave. So we have to rush. If it wasn’t important, we wouldn’t have left” Vaibhav said grabbed his keys and signalled Vihaan to get up.

"But why are you taking Vihaan bhai with you. you go and get done with your work. Let him stay here. If you both go, how will I come back home?” she said pouting innocently. I just felt like kissing the pout at that instant, but controlled myself reminding my stupid mind that her brothers were standing in front of us.

"Ranbir is sitting right here. He will drop you home. Those documents require both of our signatures, so we both are needed at the office. And Ranbir, do you have any plans after this? Or can you drop her home safely in one piece? " Vihaan asked me with a sly smile.

"I don’t have any other plans. It would be a pleasure to do so, if she doesn’t mind me dropping her home. Vaibhav, you don't worry I’ll drop her home safe and sound. Your sister is in safe hands" I said and stressed the last line.

I don't know why, but I wanted him to trust me with her. And more than that I wanted them to leave immediately as I wanted to spent some lone time with her, which would not be possible until they are around.

He winked at both of us and said "I expected this answer. So you both, enjoy your coffee and keep your hands to yourself” Vihaan said and kissed her hair lovingly.

She again blushed, God why does she blush so much at every small thing. Within no time they left and we both again sat together, in comfortable silence.

None of us was talking but the silence was soothing. Breaking my chain of thoughts, the waiter came with our single cold coffee and an extra empty mug.

"Sir your cold coffee with extra ice - cream" he said and placed the coffee on the table and placed an empty glass beside for us to share it, and I signalled him to leave.

We both reached out for the glass at the same time and our fingers touched. I could feel her shiver. She immediately withdrew her hands gestured me to pour it into the other cup. I finally accomplished the task and pushed the glass to her side.

After sipping it, I finally spoke breaking the silence prevailing from the time her brothers left.

"Umm, it’s good. I mean, your taste is really good. I never had a cold coffee like this one" I said and expected her to reply but she just smiled in reply. And the silence was back again. What to do. She’s not uttering a single word and her silence was not something that I didn’t prefer. So, to just get some reply from her, I decided to tease her.

"Are you dumb ?" saying this I winked at her. You must have seen her expression’s. She was looking really funny, eyes so wide that they would fallen out of the sockets, her mouth in perfect ‘O’. I was having a tough time controlling my laugh seeing her like that and finally my plan was successful and she spoke.

"Do I look dumb?? I spoke to bhai earlier didn't you hear me? Or wait, let me guess, you must be deaf ??" she retorted angrily making a cute angry pout and continued sipping her coffee.

"I didn't mean that. I can perfectly hear you, but when I asked you. You didn't reply so I thought you couldn't…. you know.." and didn't extend further as of now I understood that she gets angry very easily. And that’s now how I wanted our first meeting to go.
