as sam and zia finished the dinner and settled that every meeting with their post rival company will be handled by zia and sam will never come in front of his former crush aka their former company rivals son zia and sam finally agreed to work with the company which to make alley with the new owner and their college friend kirti Sanskar.
zia "we have a meeting in two days with sanskriti company's new ceo and owner kirti " sam shrugged "sis you have a meeting remember I won't be in any meeting with that person" zia started to think whether kirti was just really a crush and nothing happened between them because the way sam is so head strong that in any way he doesn't want to come in front of kirti could only means that something did happen but zia has no interest to poke in her small brother's private affairs so she just stayed quite and nodded.
they finished the food and packed the empty lunch box and we're ready to get back to work when Zia got a call , zia didn't read the caller ID and picked the phone in one hand while holding the lunch box in another "hello?"
before zia could give her a formal and boring introduction someone replied from the other end " zia ! zia ! hello! I have something important to tell you" Sara's excited voice sounded from the other end , zia smiled hearing the excited tone of her little birdie.
sam saw zia smile and immediately knew that it was his sister-in-law on the phone he grinned with mischief. " calm down sara take a breath then talk or you'll choke" zia said with a soft voice and saw that sam was mimicking her in a dramatic way with his hands on his heart mouthing every word zia said zia just rolled her eyes at Sam's teasing. " zia I got a Hollywood film contract !! " Sara's voice was so loud now and her excitement was even showing through the phone zia laughed at Sara's childish behaviour.
"congratulations !! what is the destination which country are you going to ? "
" you won't believe it but the shooting locations are going to change every once in a while like first I have to shoot in Uk for one month and then Germany , Philippines , Nigeria, Poland, Malaysia, Canada, Indonesia " zia was a bit taken aback" whoa don't tell me I won't get to see you a year or something!"
"no silly we don't film all the time it will be an interval of time like after one month of filming they are gonna give us all minimum fifteen (15) days off " zia mood was still off thinking about that she still won't be here with her for the whole month but in all of this she didn't forget to ask " what is the genre of this movie?"
for a second sara was silent then she said in a soft voice"it's a detective and romance novel based" hearing this sara thought zia would tell her to reject the contract but she was proved wrong"that's why you need to go to so many locations! aahh I see it's good that at least you can travel around in your free time"
" wait what?! so you don't mind me singing for a romance movie genre ?"
"And why would you say that I know you love acting why would I not let you do something you love and most of all no one has a right to stop you from doing what you love keep that in mind even if it's your marriage partner ok"
sara was grinning ear to ear " ok but can you come to the UK with me if you are free ! only if ok no need to dumb the work for me ok "
" Sara when will you be going ?" while asking zia put the phone on speaker and bent down to pick up the piece of paper 🗞️ from her feet which flew from her table to her feet.
"after two days "
"ok little birdie I am totally free I can come can you pack my things too?" sara was so happy to hear that not knowing that sam who heard this was making a number of expressions and closing and opening his mouth like a fish. zia just grinned silently at Sam's reactions.
even when sam was mouthing " sis what are you saying you have a meeting remember???"
but zia just ignored him.
"okie dokie wokie i will do it ok listen I have to go by take care have a nice day " zia smiled
" Ok, little birdie have a nice day take care by "
saying this softly she hung up the phone and didn't pay attention to the sam named fish who was acting like it was pulled out of water and now gasping for oxygen. sam was so frustrated seeing his sister was clearly ignoring him.when zia finally put the phone down sam shouted at the top of his lungs.
"sis!! did you not hear me i said don't you remember that you have a meeting with CEO of sanskriti company kirti" zia put her one hand on her ear as she was still holding the lunch box in her other hand "gosh stop your being so loud can't you keep your volume a little down bro? " sam rolled his eyes clearly getting annoyed by Zia's behaviour "then tell me how you are going to go with sister in-law if you have a meeting with the so called CEO kirti !?"
zia grinned with mischief "that I am not going anymore " sam was shocked to hear that he again shouted"what!? then who is going!? you can't send our grandfather He has not been well recently you know it right? and father already has to deal with our other business " before sam could say anything more zia blurted out "you , it's you who will go on behalf of me to negotiate the contract and you will be also handling the whole company in my absence or should I say leave for one whole month "
"what!?" sam was dumbfounded but he recovered fully and said"no way in hell I would rather go to hell then go to that meeting " sam just had this in mind no matter what he won't go in front of that man the so called college crush of his not in million life he would even want that man face in front of him let alone so close in meeting. although sam was in his own thoughts of being stubborn that no matter what happens he will not go in front of that man suddenly he heard something which made him think otherwise.
"hmm...then I guess I will have to tell our father why you will not come to any meeting held with sanskriti company " sam looked at zia in uttar shock his eyes went round and he dramatically put his hands in air above his head with palm open."tell me your joking?!sis tell me it's just a joke!" zia sighed seeing sam react dramatically she always saw sam react dramatically when they were small sam would always act like this when he doesn't want to do something.it kind of made zia remember that no matter how many mistakes sam did back then when they were small sam was always supported zia like a real brother.
this reminded her that sam was blinded by others he was never a bad person people around him made him something which he didn't deserve to be he was an innocent soul but some malicious people brainwashed him that he went against his own family but now he was again home and innocent again but this innocent was full of maturity.he got to know that when he does something wrong no one will be his side just his own family will be there that made him understand that no matter how bad he will become one day his family will be the only to except and love him as he is , so again he was now pretty much back to himself and his loving nature.
zia sighed again "sam it's a warning you will be the one attending the meeting ok what I said I said this is the last time I don't want to repeat myself again understood?" sam put his hands down and made a sulky face "sis are you giving me threats? " zia laughed at Sam's cute expression "no! how can I give my baby brother a threat? but my baby brother please help your big sis this one time ok please last time " zia played the siblings card on sam knowing that he won't be able to decline it.
"uhhh..fine stop that I will do but only this one time ok then after this even if you beg me I won't help you do understand this sis? " zia smiled and grabbed Sam's head while cackling she patted Sam's head "good boy help sister this one time ok " sam frowned "stop acting I know you were acting pity because you know that I won't be able to say no seriously if I didn't know that you are a girl sis I swear we both have been on floor now grabbing eachothers coller like when we were small " zia laughed at Sam's words"ohh small baby you will still lose to me like before kid dream on"
sam shrugged while zia raised an eyebrow"what don't tell me you want to fight now ? " zia grinned " why not sure let's have a match of wrestling like before when we were kids! " sam pulled his head from Zia's grip and showed zia tongue"in your dreams sis I AM GETTING LOST FROM HERE BY! " sam sprinted outside of the office without sparing zia another glance. zia laughed at her brother's childish personality looking happy that her brother is finally himself now.
Meanwhile sam in his office...
sam was staring at the computer in his office checking the details about this month's meeting of their company with sanskriti company and when he saw it he couldn't help himself and started to curse "sh!t ohh sh!t this can't be I am doomed ohh gosh!!" he saw that almost all of the long and big meetings of their are only and only with sanskriti company almost ten meetings were with Sanskriti company but this wasn't the worst part the worst part was that the seven of the meeting are private meaning that only sam and kirti will be present and only in the rest three there will be scientist from their company and Kirti's company.
"ohhh gosh why me !? I can't face him I have never even seen his face since that day when he kissed me in the drama theatre " again in front of Sam's eyes the scene played the day when both of them were in the drama club house alone because it was raining heavily that day
flashback.....
sam looked outside the window while giving a bashful smile his cheeks were red because of the cold and rainy weather as he was looking out he didn't see that a pair of tiger eyes were staring at him from side with a warmth suddenly a hand went around Sam's chin and turned him around and without Sam's knowing his cold lips were covered by a pair of warm lips.
sam slapped himself " wake up wake up ohhh don't think about these things I am seriously doomed" Sam's expression was so gloomy as though something tragic is going to happen.
"whatever just forget it i have to face him someday I guess "
as though sam was convincing himself but still he wasn't able to erase the whole scene from his mind those lips covering his while the beautiful tiger eyes stared at him.
