Synopsis

Chapter 1 - The Encounter

The white Mercedes raced from airport towards the market area and suddenly halted by hitting a man around 45 years. The person who has driven didn't seem interested to hear anything from his actual driver who is trying to say something right from the airport by sitting beside him. After hitting that man, that person behind the steering gave a glare to his driver, which made the driver to act instantly by getting down and went to see what had happened actually.

The driver helped that man to stand in his legs. But it seemed that the man felt difficult to stand. "Uncle" came a sweet voice and there stood a girl who helped that man to stand by supporting him. After scanning that man's condition, the girl furiously looked at the driver.

"Hey… What have you done to my uncle? Don't you know how to drive in a busy area?" She yelled at the driver.

"S…Sorry, I didn't drive actually"

"What, then who else is driving this vehicle" (She fired)

"My boss" (Looked at the window side which was closed)

The girl turned red in anger. She looked at the closed window and asked the driver to lend a stool from the nearby fruit shop. The driver did as she was told. Then she made his uncle to sit. His boss wasn't aware of what's happening outside as he thought his driver can deal it. Also he didn't notice that girl who is ordering his driver right now.

When she went near the window and banged it hardly, it slowly slid revealing his handsome face. The moment she saw him she sucked her breathe as his sharp features stirred something in her heart.

He too glanced at her and to get a better view of her, he took his sun glasses and was eventually caught up in her mesmerizing beauty.

She blinked her eyes and composed herself by cursing.

"Where the hell did you kept your eyes while driving?" she asked furiously.

"Excuse me" he couldn't get her as he didn't heard anything, still lost in her beauty.

"Hello, did you hear me?" she waved her hand in front of his eyes which made him to blink.

" I think, you are blind and deaf" she yelled losing her patience.

"What the" coming back to sense he gritted his teeth and opened his door to get down which instantly made her to take a few steps back.

She's scared a bit due to his sudden approach.

" What" he asked sternly standing tall in front of her.

"What… what…. Look what have you done to my uncle" she now pointed her uncle who was sitting uncomfortably with a pained expression.

"How much do you want" he eyed her uncle and asked very casually.

"What" she clearly wasn't expecting this.

"Money, that's what you all want right" he looked at her sharply.

"What do you mean?" she reciprocated.

"How much, you are wasting my time" he replied rudely by taking a look on his watch.

"What kind of a person are you?" she's clearly irritated of his attitude now.

"What the" came his gritted tone.

"Hello Mr. not only yours, our time is also precious for us" she is fuming now.

"How dare of you to speak to me like that…" he took a threatening step towards her which made her to shiver a bit but she stood grounded at her spot.

"Yes am dared. First of all, you didn't apologize for what you have done. Secondly, your attitude is all wrong" she looked at him from head to toe.

"What the hell. Just get the money. You don't even know to whom you are speaking" he clenched his jaw.

"I don't want to know who you are. It's none of my business" she said just like that.

"Arushi dear, let him go" came her uncle's pained voice.

"Uncle… You have no idea of this kind of people" she said venomously looking at the particular man who ran over her uncle.

"Who the hell are you to question me. He himself is calm" came his harsh words.

"Hello, whoever is in his position, I will do exactly the same as am doing right now" she crossed her arms over her chest and glanced at the man who is piercing her with his intense stare.

"Pick Pick Pick it up… Pick Pick Pick it up" her cell rang. He looked at her with wide eyes thinking who in the hell sets a tone like that, clearly she must be crazy. While, she attended the call ignoring his furious stares on her. "Yes Aunty, got the vegetables, yeah, will return soon" looking at him she ended her call. That man simply opened his car door and took a bundle of cash from his bag as if it was nothing to him.

"Here, this is all you need right" his cold words just sliced her.

"Oh, you think that you can buy or solve anything with your bundle of cash, then you are so wrong Mr. you can't buy everything with your money" she uttered frustratingly.

"How dare you" he took a menacing step towards her.

"Arushi, come here, let him go" came her uncle's sore voice again.

"You keep your money with you. We don't want it. Instead you better change your mind set about others" her sharp words shook his ego.

"What the" his face is clearly in fire as she not only avoided his money but literally ordered him to change his mindset, how dare of her.

"You better teach him how to drive properly" saying that to his driver she went to her uncle without even waiting for their reactions.

She requested a random person to help her uncle and saying "Uncle… I will drop you" she went towards her scooty. She then gave life to her pink scooty which stood in another shop. After wearing the helmet, she drove towards her uncle. With the help, her uncle got settled behind her.

All the while that one particular person watched her every move furiously. Then he wore his sun glasses and settled inside his car. His driver ran and sat beside him quietly. He looked at her while switching on his vehicle.

Looking at him "Uncle, you shouldn't come alone, these people though they have eyes they are blinded with their money" she said seriously without moving her eyes from him.

Both of them looked at each other and then Arushi drove her scooty exactly in the opposite direction to his vehicle. He saw her figure disappearing in his side mirror and then drove his Mercedes angrily.
