The young receptionist looked at them while contemplating in her mind if she should tell them the reason or not, although they were not comparable to them but still they're also not just anybody but VIP's of the country.
After a while she decided to tell them a little, "Actually sir, our big boss will arrive in sometime for a lunch meeting, so, we are instructed to cancel every bookings for today."
Two of the men didn't said anything else and nod in understanding before returning to their girls.
Shanaya and Tara was standing in the lobby when they noticed the two walking towards them with stoic expressions.
"What happened?" Shanaya asked with a frown while Suhas pursed his lips.
"All the bookings for today are cancelled." Kartick informed them in a low voice.
"Why?"
"KB is arriving here in an hour or so for a lunch meeting, and that's why they are instructed to cancel every bookings for today." Suhas replied this time with a disappointed tone.
Shanaya felt a little shocked, she had already predicted something like this, now it's understandable about why the staffs are so nervous and fearful.
"Bad luck then, let's go to somewhere else." She said with an upset expression while leaving the restaurant with the others.
One person was totally quite from the beginning, Tara felt puzzled seeing their unusual reaction.
She was utterly confused about the whole matter, she had never seen such expression on their faces after getting refused by someone.
She always used to know that they are the superiors in these country, but judging by the current expressions on her companions faces, it seems like that's not the case.
"Can anyone enlighten me about what exactly is going on? Just who is this KB?" She asked in bewilderment as they stepped downstairs and walked towards their cars.
Three of them turned around and looked at her with complex gazes, they could understand why she's confused.
Since childhood she didn't spent much time in this country, so, she's not aware of so many things.
"KB, Krishna Bharadwaj, the founder owner of KB Group Of Industries, the largest business corporation. The uncrowned emperor and also the godfather of this country.
From hotels to hospitals, textile to agriculture, railways to airways, water to gas, coal & petrol, tourism, transport, everywhere they are ruling today. Nobody can compete with them, they are the biggest brand in the business world." Suhas told her everything that they knows about the man.
Tara just frowned, "Then, what about us?" The question slipped out of her lips before she can stop herself.
Kartick sighed, "About us, we are indeed the elites but when in comparison with KB, we are nothing but common people."
"Didn't you ever met him?" She asked the trio blinking her eyes.
"Other than his most trusted and closed subordinates nobody in this world has ever seen him, nobody knows who he is, how he looks like, how he talks like. It is said that he is the devil in disguise." Shanaya felt a chill inside while answering the question.
Tara had so many questions in her mind but she forced herself to not ask any of them.
They decided to go somewhere else before entering inside their cars and drove towards their next destination.
...
City Mall...
The two men were sitting on the couch and scrolling through their phones while their women were busy with the dreeses and designer outfits.
Shanaya was selecting outfits for the last one hour without feeling even an ounce of tiredness. But the person who was wearing the outfits was tired as hell.
Tara stepped out of the changing room in her sixteenth outfit, which was a pastel blue colour three layred lehenga with all over diamond work. It was paired with a sleeveless V-neck pastel blue colour crop top.
Shanaya jumped up and ran towards her, she circled around her to examine properly, her eyes sparkled with self satisfaction, "Awesome, just perfect. I knew that this outfit will suit you, see I was absolutely right. You'll look gorgeous in this outfit."
She praised with a face full of satisfaction, whereas Tara just sighed in relief. Thank god, the torturing session ended at least.
"Sissy, can I change now?" She asked expectantly.
"Yeah, now you can change." Shanaya permitted after thinking for a moment.
The girl didn't wait for any other moment and ran inside the changing room, as if she was feared if her sister changes her mind.
After sometime she stepped out wearing her salwar suit, they billed all the five dresses which she bought and paid off before returning to the two boys.
"Let's go, we're done." Shanaya informed them before stepping out of the store, Kartick & Suhas didn't said anything and just followed them from behind.
....
"So, what's next?" Suhas asked his girlfriend.
"Movie?" Came the short reply in the form of suggestion. They nod in agreement and walked towards the theater.
"You guys enter first, I need to go to the restroom. I'll catch you later." Said Tara as everyone walked inside the theater.
They nod their heads and stepped inside while Tara stepped out walking towards the female restroom.
Entering inside she first used the toilet, then stepping out she put her phone on the table and washed her hands, then splashed some cold water on her face.
She took tissue papers and wiped the water slowly from her face. The tiredness had released a little.
Feeling refreshed she stepped out of the restroom and decided to join the group. But as she turned from the corridor someone gripped her wrist and pulled her aside.
It happened so fast that she failed to react, the person stopped her from shouting by closing her mouth with one of his hand.
After a quick turn he pulled her inside a room, and released her from his grip. Tara was too in shock at first, so it took her a brief moment to understand what exactly happened.
She turned to see the person who just kidnapped her on her way to the theatre, her eyes widened as she looked at the man. "You!! What the hell are you doing here? How dare you?!!"
