After boarding the plane, he got a look of the interior. There were 8 or 9 seats on the charter plane. It was luxurious to say the least. There were only two seats in one row and each seat was made of fine leather and seemed like they had a good amount of cushion inside.
These seats couldn't be called seats per se and more so like a huge couch and the floor was laden with a clean carpet. Robin chose one random seat and buckled himself. He was feeling a little giddy on the inside but he tried to keep his calm on his face as there were beautiful air hostesses around. They brought him lemon juice for him as the plane slowly started moving towards the runway.
The flight was going to be a long one so it was better to read some novels that he had saved. He had done this on the thought that he might be alone in the travel and didn't expect two beautiful women to accompany him. Robin was normally a shy person when it came to strangers and tended to keep to himself.
And these women were beautiful which made him self aware. He has always known that he wasn't some kind of handsome guy who could attract others like the ones in the novels. He might be a virgin but he wouldn't just use his power and money to get his way with others. Though he was sure that women would jump into his lap once they got to know how powerful he was, he would find it extremely shallow.
He has an eternity to live and he would take his time to find himself someone who would support him in his endeavour and not someone who would just use him for their own selfish purposes. It might sound like a loser to others but he didn't care. It was better to be called a loser than to be used by random women.
The plane soon took off after the captain introduced himself. It was going to be a long journey so it was better to just read and maybe sleep after lunch. The couch could bend to a good number of degrees so he could easily sleep here.
"Sir, can we serve lunch?"
"Yes, sure."
Robin then had one of the most expensive lunches in the air. It was an Indian cuisine and everything they provided was just perfect. The bread, the proper cooked Indian style chicken, the desserts. After having lunch he continued with his read from the app. Soon he felt sleepy and closed his eyes.
The air-hostesses were a little surprised by seeing the behavior of this young man who had joined in the journey. These two women had catered to different kinds of people in the little experience they had. Many of them were families while the other portion tended to be men.
Most men would love to flirt with them or make some advances towards them in the journey, it would never be too blatant or straight forward but it would still be there. And this behavior would annoy them a bit. It was fine if they were genuinely interested but almost all of them would probably use them for fun if given the chance.
But this young man named Robin was different. He had never looked at them with eyes that would make them uncomfortable. In fact, this person was shy and he tended to be in his own world, reading some kind of script from his mobile. He was really different from others. All these made them really interested about this young man, and they wanted to know more about him.
But sadly, he never approached them and the answers he gave them were precise and he didn't seem like he was really interested in continuing a conversation with them. Sigh! it seems like all good people had already been reserved for someone else.
The sun was on its way to set down the west when the plane landed at the Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam. After landing the plane went into a private hangar that was separate from the main airport terminal.
"Thank you sir for flying Jetex. We hope that we can continue to provide services to you for future travels."
"Yes. Thanks for the hospitality."
Robin landed his feet on the ground with warm clothes. He was already informed about the local temperature and it was 7 degree Celsius (44.6 Fahrenheit) so it was quite cold weather for him. He was greeted by the customs officials where he needed to provide the information and his reason for visit.
"Purpose of visit?"
"I am here to open some business establishments."
"What kind of businesses?"
"A restaurant chain based on Indian cuisine and a holding company as I have got some money in hand and want to invest."
"Ah... Then welcome to the Netherlands sir, may your stay be pleasant and happy."
The custom officer didn't really give him a hard time and he was let go quite easily. He had heard tales of how customs officers tended to be more terrifying than police inquiry but this wasn't the case for him. Money speaks volumes!
After putting his luggage together he opened his mobile and put on his earphones.
"JARVIS, you there?"
"Always sir."
"Gastly?"
"Gastly... Gastly.."
Gastly's voice came from the side and it was still invisible.
"Good, now what do I need to do JARVIS?"
"Sir, I have already bought a home for you here, quite close to the Airport. The estate manager Leslie Ruiter is right now waiting at the arrivals for you to take you to the estate."
"That's thoughtful of you." Robin said as he felt happy that JARVIS had thought everything out. He couldn't ask for more. He slowly went to the arrivals and after looking around he saw his name on a huge placard.
"Leslie Ruiter?"
"Yes, you must be Mr. Robin Kashyap. Welcome to Amsterdam. How was the flight?"
"It was a pleasant one with no problems whatsoever." Robin said as they both shook their hands.
Leslie was quite tall. In fact, Robin had never seen so many tall people in such large numbers. The people of the Netherlands were known to be very tall and the average height here was around 6 feet. Robin felt a little awkward seeing it as he himself was only 5.7 feet.
Leslie was blonde and looked a little chubby and she had the beauty to make her look more adorable. She looked like was above 35 years of age and the ring on her finger labeled that she was married.
"If you are okay with it can we go directly to the estate so that I can hand over the keys?"
"No problem."
Robin followed Leslie to the parking lot and got into her car. Her car was big and so he put his luggage in her car trunk and they both drove off. At least, Robin didn't have to take the Uber any more.
"Mr. Kashyap, I was really surprised that you paid half the price of the home before you even saw the house."
"Well, you know the pictures were really good and my Secretary assured that the house was a perfect fit for my taste." Robin replied even though he hadn't seen the house yet, he believed in JARVIS and was sure that he would be able to choose one perfect home for him.
"Then you will be really happy after seeing the estate with your own eyes. It is more beautiful than it looks in the pictures."
"I hope so."
The estate wasn't far from the airport and it only took a 15 minute drive to reach. As the reached the gate, on the side the name of the estate was written
Bergerac
It was designed by Jan des Bouvrie, a Dutch designer. The estate was located near Arendshoeve, the Garden of Amsterdam and it was beside a huge lake that was connected to one of the many canals of the city. Amsterdam as a city was known for its canals and people here tended to use bicycles for commuting over cars. The city was picturesque and the villa that they just entered was more beautiful than Robin had imagined.
There was a small driveway that led to the villa. The villa was located on a total land of 51.89 Acres and the villa boasted of interior space of 14,466 Sq. ft. The house was symmetrical and had the designs of both modern and old style houses of Europe. The estate was so big that it had its own canal where one could row his or her boat. Both sides of the driveway were filled with lush green grass and flower plants.
There were occasional old trees around giving the estate a vibe of old times where a prince or princess used to live. When JARVIS said that he had bought Robin a house, he didn't expect such grandeur.
