Shanaya gave a call to shiha..
"hey! Do you know, Mu jin is going to come.. He said he will be here within two days"
Shiha was sitting in her balcony at her penthouse.. She was drinking evening tea..
When Shanaya spoke 'within TWO days.' shiha jump from her couch.. She remembered something, with that she gets intense shivery sensation.. 'ohh.. Two days, i have only two days left.. Shit..' thought shiha.
Shanaya didn't get the reply..
"helloooooo... Shiha are you there.."
"ahaa.. Yaa. Shanaya help me.."
Shanaya was confused.. She asked..
"what.. What did you said.."
Shiha relived a deep breath...
"i said help me.."
"For what" asked Shanaya.
"help me to find someone.. Who is reliable.. I don't care how he looks or what is his background, i just want him to be reliable.. Please help me.. I only have two days left.."
Shanaya felt like laughing.. But she controlled herself.. She knows if she laughs right now the Queen will definitely be angry..
" oohh.. Don't worry, we will do something.. Just chill ok.. "
After few talks shiha hang up the call.
...
The next morning shiha cancelled all the meetings..
Now finally she gets serious on this matter, otherwise she have to attend the blind date. Which she hates a lot..
Shiha took her laptop and sat on a couch in the balcony.. She was searching for a good man.. 'At least the man must be good in Dida's eyes..'
The whole morning passed in that...
But shiha fails to find any good one.
She went out for a lunch.
But she was continuously looking around.. 'i wish i can find anyone soon..' she thought..
When the waiter served the food to her, she looked at the waiter.. And thought.. 'is he reliable.'
When shiha got such a thought.. She immediately drank the glass of water in one glup .. 'ohh.. Shiha what's wrong with you.. Are you gone bonker or what.. How can you get such a weird thought.. Aahh.. But what should i do..'
When the person focus too much on something, he or she will always tries to get the answers from the surrounding.. Or if you are too much eager to find someone.. You will image him or her in the surrounding people.. Its the human nature..
After lunch shiha walked to the near by park.. She sat on the side bench.
She took a few deep breath..
In front of her she saw a man was helping her daughter on the slide..
Unknowingly Shiha smiles.. But the sweet smile turns into the regretful smile.. Shiha stood up from there..
She left the park before her past memories surface..
She went back to her penthouse..
She again sat on the same place and continued her work to find someone..
It was almost past six..
When Ruihan came back to his room.. He went towards the balcony.. He was surprised.. The girl was still sitting there..
When, in the morning Ruihan was leaving for the work he saw the girl was sitting in her balcony with her laptop..
He can't see the clear face because of the glass in between..
And now when he came back she is still sitting there..
Shiha was busy in her work..
She was finding everywhere, but so sad.. She failed to notice around her..
The perfect reliable, handsome, dashing, honest, loyal... Man was right in front of her.. Who always keep eye on her from his balcony.. But failed to see her face.. And on the other side, shiha failed to notice him..
Its was almost dinner time.. Shiha ordered her dinner in her room..
The day was wasted.. Now only a day is left..
Shiha was sure, that she will not be able to find anyone, but still she will not give up.. She hates blind date..
...
Early morning, shiha was still sleeping..
She slept late last night.. Almost after half past two. She had a conference meeting abroad..
Someone knocked at her door.. Shiha gets up from her bed.. She rubbed her eyes.. And went to open the door.. As she open she was greeted by the bunch of white flowers...
"what the hell.." shouted shiha..
Shanaya came inside from the side..
"sista you are still sleeping.. Its already ten in the morning.."
"ohh.. Wow i can't believe.. You too turn into lazy cat after coming here.." said the man behind the flowers..
When shiha listened the voice.. She turned towards the man..
"you..when did you came.."
Mu jin entered inside.. Kept the flowers aside and gave a hug to shiha..
"i completed my work over there.. So i came here early.."
"ohh.. Good." said shiha with a dull face.
"what's wrong? What happened to your voice?" asked mu jin
"i am in a great dilemma.."
Mu jin raise his brow.. "what happened! That makes you so much tensed.."
Shiha didn't answered him.. And walk in bathroom.. To take a bath.
Shanaya and Mu jin were sitting in the living area..
Mu jin turns to Shanaya.. "what makes her so anxious.. I can't believe, there is something which she can't control.."
Shanaya giggled slightly and said..
"Grandma Tang had given her one month time to find someone.. And today is the last day.. If she fails to find someone as per Grandma Tang's demand.. Then she has to attend the blind dates fixed by Grandma Tang."
"what.. Really.. Wowwhhaa... I can't believe.. Grandma Tang had taken such a strick step." mu jin was laughing.. He rarely gets chance to see shiha this anxious..
Shiha gets ready.. It was almost lunch time. They left the penthouse and went downstairs. They decide to have a lunch in the hotel..
Shiha sat on the chair.. Mu jin sat opposite to her.. In between sat Shanaya.. They ordered the food. Shiha was not in the mood to have her favourite dishes.. Mu jin ordered all his favourite dishes..
Somehow after listening shiha's problem.. He gets more excited.. And because of that he ate a lot.. Much more than usual...
After finishing the lunch.. Mu jin can barely walk.
"ohh.. I ate too much" said Mu jin..
Shiha turn towards him gave a smack on his back.. "yes.. You hippo.. Not too much.. Too.. Too much.. You ate.. You seems happy on my situation, no problem.. Let me talk to the Aunt Mu.. Once i solve my problem.."
"ahh.. Oohh.. No.. I just ate because i travelled that's why.. Don't say anything to my mom.. I don't want to go on a blind date too..".
Shiha walk towards the elevator.. She walk to her penthouse..
## STORY ##
The Crow And The Monkey:
Long, long ago, there was a big banyan tree in a dense jungle. In this banyan tree, there lived a crow's family happily, with its nestlings. They had a beautiful and strong nest on a thick and sturdy branch of the tree.There was also a huge monkey living in the banyan tree. He had no house of his own to live in. Sometimes, he would sleep on one branch and sometimes, on the other.
Once it started raining very heavily. The rain was accompanied with thunder and lightening. Strong cold winds blew. There was not an inch of space left on the ground which was not lashed by the rain. While the crow's family protected itself from the fury of the rain by taking shelter inside the nest, the monkey could not find any safe place for himself. He began to shiver badly with cold.
The crow seeing the monkey in such a pitiable condition said to him, "Poor fellow. Even though you are stout and healthy, you never built a house for yourself. Look at us. We have a beautiful and strong nest to protect ourselves from the fury of the rain and storm. Why don't you build a house for yourself, instead of wandering around aimlessly and shifting from one branch to the other in a lazy manner? God has given you two hands; make use of them."
The monkey, hearing the crow's words became very annoyed. He said, "You foolish black crow, how dare you advise me, and teach me the do's and don'ts of my life. You have lost your sense of etiquettes. I must teach you, how to behave with seniors." Saying so, the monkey tore off a branch from the tree and began to beat at the crow's nest. Soon the nest was broken into pieces. The nestlings fell down upon the rain soaked ground and died. The crows somehow flew away and took shelter on some other branch. They wept bitterly over their young ones' death. They had no time even to repent for their good intentioned advice given to the monkey.
Moral: It's better not to advise others in their personal matters.
