She decides to visit shanaya..
Shanaya was busy in one of her famous restaurant.. She went there for supervision. At that time she got a call from shiha..
"where are you" ask shiha.
"i am at brunchy_din.. Why? Are you alright.. You sound's dull."
"no i am not alright.. I will be there.." After which shiha hangs the call. And went towards the restaurant direction.
The Brunchy_din restaurant was the famous restaurant.. It provides everything from breakfast to dinner and lemonade to Cabernet Sauvignon, even suitable for the private meetings and parties..
It is of total three floor. The first floor for the common people.. Who simply come for lunch, dinner or breakfast. The second floor was for parties and celebrations.. All kind of drinks were available their. And the third floor, for the private meetings and discussion. Were the business deal can be finalised. Many businessman like this place.
This restaurant was famous for it privacy and popularity.
Shiha entered the restaurant.. And directly went to the second floor.
The staff were surprised, as one of the staff come forward and tried to stop her..
Shiha was already in a bad mood.. When she saw a waiter tries to stop her she shouted... "scram.."
The manager was just passing from there, he saw what was going on. He come forward and before he ask any thing to tje staff he was greeted by the sight of shiha.
Shiha was wearing a mask. And few days ago she had visited this place with shanaya.. So the manager know her as his boss friend.
He immediately come forward and apologise..
Shiha ignored him and went upstairs.
She sat near the bar counter and ordered the drinks..
She was not good at drinking, but today she was angry.. She had to control her rage..
It was not the night time.. So, the second floor was most probably not that crowded... But still there were few people who come for drink and few for celebration.
Shiha use to like peace around herself.. Specially when she is out of mood..
She glared at the waiter.. And said with a angry voice.. "i want this place empty within one minute.."
The waiter serving the drinks was sacred by shiha.. The way she ordered.. Her voice was like a devil's voice covered with a unique charm..
The manager was in dilemma.. He immediately call the manager..
The manager come running upstairs.. He saw shiha was sitting and having her drink.
"Ma'am.. We can't make this whole place empty.. They are already booked before hand."
Shiha gave a killing glance at the manager. Befor she speaks anything.. Shanaya come running from the upstairs.. She was at the third floor.. When the manager called her and informed her about shiha.
" what's wrong.. "asked shanaya..
" Ma'am.. She want whole place to be empty.. It can't be possible.. "
Shiha kept her shot glass with full force on the counter ahead..
She gave a look to shanaya and said..
" i want the whole place empty.. I don't want to see a single soul."
After saying this shiha again started drinking.. She drink whole shot glass in one glup...
Shanaya come to know that her sista might be angry. The way she behave.. Is only when she is angry and frustrated but can't do anything.. When things are not in her control..
Shanaya turn towards the manager and said.. "I want whole second floor empty.. Not the single person must be present..i will take the loss.. Don't worry."
Then shanaya turn towards the waiter who was serving the drinks on the counter.. "serve her.. Whatever she wants.."
The manager nodded and get the whole floor empty..
Shanaya sat beside shiha.. She patted shiha's back and said with a soft voice.. "what's wrong.? Why are you so angry.."
"aahh... I don't know what should I do.. Dida wants me to find the partner.. That also within one month.."
"hhnnn.. What..?" shanaya was surprised to hear this news.
Shiha was getting annoyed..
"Are you deaf or what.."
"Aahh.. No. No. I mean seriously.."
"yess.. And that also within one month only... After which she will start to sat a blind date for me.. And i have to attend it compulsory.."
Shanaya was shocked.. But some where in her heart she was happy too.. By the boldness of grandma Tang. Shanaya knew why Grandma Tang is head over on finding some one for shiha...
Shanaya took a deep breath.. And said." so what the problem.!you are so beautiful, you can find anyone within one minute.. There is no need of one month."
Shiha glare at shanaya.. "you are cahoots with Dida right.?"
Shanaya immediately raise her hands.. "aahnnn.. No. You are over thinking.."
Shiha was getting more angry from the way shanaya behaves..
Instead of helping her, she was siding with her Dida..
Shiha throw the glass on the side and kept her head down on the counter..
And shouted.. "aaahhh.. It was my grave mistake.. That i came here.. I wish all the people die.. No one remains, so that i don't need to find anyone.."
The moment she throw the glass, the glass was full with the drink inside..
From the upstairs the man was coming down.. As he kept the foot on the last step of the stairs.. The glass was thrown towards him.. The whole drink spread on his suit and the glass fell on the ground with a shattering sound...
Shanaya turn towards the direction of the sound.. And saw the man suit was dripping with the drink and the glass was shattered near his shoes.
The assistant immediately handed the tissue to the man..
While cleaning his suit the man walk forward, towards the counter..
Shanaya was surprised to see the man..
"oohh.. Its you.. I apologise on behalf of my friend.."
Sheng Ruan raise his brows and before he speaks anything..
Shiha throw another glass on the floor and said.. "All men should die... If that happens.. So many problems of girls would be solved.."
Shanaya patted shiha's back and said.. "will you stop speaking nonsense?"
Shiha sit straight on her chair.. And gave a serious look and said.. "who said i am speaking nonsense.. I am speaking the truth.."
Shanaya rub her hand in her own hair.. She don't know what she should do..
Sheng Ruan was enjoying the show.. He added the fuel in it.. "do you know.. You can be punished by law.. For what you are saying.."
Shanaya gave a wide glance at Sheng Ruan.. "hhnn.. Oohh. No. Don't take her seriously.. She is just drunk. You know.. The words of the drunk person is not valid in law.. She is just angry..so she nattering.. "
When shanaya and Ruan were arguing,
Shiha stands from her sit and left the place..
She went out of the restaurant and stand near the side walk..
The moment she come out of the restaurant and walk towards the side walk, a man was watching her from the side.
Inside the restaurant..
Shanaya was giving an explanation and apologising. She was afraid.. What if this man complain about shiha to the police or public.. Shiha want to hide her identity.. It will be easy for tham to find out the real identity of shiha, if she got in the public eyes..
"look.. I said sorry.. So its enough."
Ruan gave an interesting look to shanaya.. "oohh.. Than about my suit.. Do you know how expensive this suit is."
Shanaya gave a look at his suit.. In deed it was hand made suit with so many zeros behind..
"ok. I will provide your loss to.. Don't worry."
Outside the restaurant.. Shiha was waiting for the cab..
At the time suddenly a little boy from the opposite side come running in middle of the road.. The little boy was running to catch his ball. But when he noticed that he is in middle of the road and the cars were moving from here and there.. He got sacred..
Shiha saw the litter boy and the man standing near the restaurant too saw the little boy..
When shiha saw the little boy running.. On the side glance she also saw the car coming towards the little boy with a full speed..
With this seen ahead of shiha.. Whole her drunkeness went away.. She get sober..
The past memories surface in her mind.. Without thinking anything else
She immediately run towards the little boy...
##STORY##
The Falcon And The Branch:
Once a king received two magnificent peregrine falcons as a gift from one of his vassal state. They were the most beautiful birds he has ever seen. Though the Falcons were still quite young at the time, they were beautiful specimens groomed for keeping in his court specifically. The king called the head falconer and handed the two beautiful birds to be trained.
The falconer trained the birds for months. But one day the falconer informed the king that one of the falcons was flying and soaring high in the sky while the other has not moved from its branch since the day it had arrived.
"I've never come across a bird as stubborn as this before," the trainer complained to the king. He went on to describe how the creature ignored, refused and stubbornly lashed out at his every attempt. "May be there is something wrong with this bird. It just won't fly."said the trainer. The falconer was one of the best in the land, his talents widely lauded by all who knew him. So, the king decided to give the trainer some more time to make the bird fly.
Months passed but the falcon never moved from the branch. The kings summoned all healers, sorcerers and other trainers from all the land to make the falcon fly. But none of them succeeded and the bird did not move from its perch.
One day a farmer was passing by the palace and heard about the stubborn falcon who wouldn't fly. He thought he would give a try to make the bird fly.
Having tried everything else, the king was desperate to make the bird fly, so he allowed the farmer attempt to make the bird fly.
The next morning while the king was thrilled to see the two magnificent birds soaring high in the sky from his balcony.
The king did not witness the feat himself, so he had the farmer brought before him to answer to his questions.
"I would like to know your secret," the King said. "Tell me, how did you, achieve what the most highly trained, intuitive and wise men could not? How did you make the falcon fly?"
The farmer peered up from beneath his brow. "It was actually quite simple, your highness. I just cut the branch on which the bird was perched."
We all are made to fly. But at times we we sit on to our branches, clinging to the things familiar to us and never attempting for a change. The possibilities in the world are endless, but most of it remains undiscovered because we never attempt to go beyond our comfort zone. We conform to the familiar, the comfortable, and the mundane. We need to go outside of our comfort zone, destroy the branch of fear we cling to and free ourselves to the glory of flight!
