Akira was all groggy with a splitting headache when she woke up . Then she saw Advil tablet and a bottle of water next to her on the side table . She thanked her stars and immediately swallowed the medicine . Then she picked up her phone from her handbag and saw multiple missed calls and messages from an unknown number from Singapore . She immediately understood that it was Anthony as she had blocked his original number so she went ahead and blocked his number again .Just then her screen flashed-"Are you up?" . It was a message from Vikram ."Yeah, how was I yesterday? I troubled you all again yesterday, didn't I?," replied Akira ."A bit, but I don't mind as long as you treat me with ice cream," said Vikram . He didn't want her to be upset thinking about what happened yesterday . So he immediately switched the topic .Akira sent him a couple of ice cream GIFs and then went to Mike's room .Both Mike and Teddy were still perching on the bed like grizzly bears . Akira gently laughed
The next two days where quite grueling for not only Raymond but also for his entire taskforce which was involved in the development work . They all stayed throughout, day and night in the office to meet the deadline requirement . They also wanted this project to be a huge success as it was an outcome of their blood and sweat and everything was dependent on how the meeting with Abacus inc went .For the D-day Raymond wore a savvy navy blue suit and the crisp white shirt underneath . He always disliked wearing a tie, but for today he wore one . He also had cufflinks on which have been gifted by his sister Katherine . His perfect features were accentuated by the well-fitted suit and he gave off an aura like a demi-God .He again tried the demo of the game just to be sure that everything was working perfectly . David had already collected a copy of the game and he had all the files ready . Raymond once again reviewed all the files and reports just to double check that everything was in or
Akira tried hard to find an internship at multiple places, but she had no luck . But she still kept trying . She would scout Linkedin and all Job portals every single day . With every passing day, she was losing hope but she had to stay strong for her brother . But she had no idea that her guardian angel Vikram had different plans for her .In the afternoon, Vikram's mother called her up and asked her to come for dinner along with Mike . Vikram's mother doted on Akira and given a chance she would marry Vikram and Akira off in a blink of an eye . She was aware of her whole situation and wanted to comfort her as much as possible .Akira called up Mike and said, "Come home early . Aunty has invited us for dinner ok?" .Mike thought for a moment and then said - "I can't Aki . I have some project prep work to finish up . Please say sorry on my behalf," and he disconnected . Akira half-heartedly decided to get ready . She knew that once she reaches there, she would have to face question com
Vikram went to his room and called up Raymond .Raymond was shocked to see Vikram calling on his personal number late in the evening . He sensed that it must be related to his special request for the project . He picked it up ."Hello, Mr . Vikram . ""Hello, Mr . Raymond . Is it a good time to talk?", asked Vikram with an air of authority ."Yes please", replied Raymond ."The person about whom I had talked to you about would be sending you an application tomorrow . Make sure that she is interviewed and all the procedures are followed as usual . ""No problem . I will make sure its all easy for her . Don't worry we will have internship letter ready . All the protocols will be followed for namesake," Raymond said .When Vikram heard Raymond speak he could sense that there was a sort of contempt and sarcasm in his tone which he didn't like ."Let me make something clear Mr . Raymond . The person whom I am referring here is capable enough to clear all formalities herself . She doesn't n
Raymond was very excited after getting the deal at first . But all his happiness turned into sour curd after listening to Vikram's condition . He was enraged because the entire deal felt like a sham . It felt like he gave the deal to them because in return he wanted his special person to be employed in his company . All the hard work which he had put along with his entire team was nullified because of that one single clause which Vikram had verbally put in their contract .His entire project team was celebrating . Finally, all the hard work, all the sleepless nights and the numerous cup of coffees had paid off . But his insides were dying out of humiliation . He felt like Vikram has kicked his brainchild project off to a far field . He was unable to control his rage because he was unable to accept that the value of his project was nothing as compared to this person whom Vikram wanted to be hired . He might have signed the contract with a pen on a paper but only he knew that it felt li
Akira was almost ready when she heard the doorbell ring and ran to get the door . She was wearing a beautiful peach colored line dress which was accentuating her features . She wore matching sneakers to complement her look . She had her hair in loose curls and was looking nothing less than a pretty peach .When she opened the door, she found Vikram holding a bouquet of baby's breath which was Akira's favorite thing in the world . He was dressed in casuals but still looked like a fashion model who has jumped straight out of a catalog .She immediately beamed with happiness and grabbed the flowers from his hands ."For me!!!?", she asked innocently with Bambi eyes ."No, it's for Mike," Vikram said in a sarcastic tone and rolled his eyes ."You are so sweet Vikram," said Akira and rushed to hug him, but unfortunately she stumbled because of the door-mat and fell straight into Vikram's arms . His arms embraced her like a safety net and he hauled her back quickly so that she didn't fall .
Akira was waiting anxiously at the reception of Delphi office at Brooklyn . Even though she was an academically brilliant student, she was still feeling very nervous . She was biting her nails and was shuffling through her resume every now and then . She had to make it through because a source of steady income was really important for her right now apart from industry experience .Akira was wearing a turquoise blue formal shirt and a grey pencil skirt . The whole attire made her look very sharp and poised . She was wearing black kitten heels because she knew that normal heels were not her forte .The receptionist looked at her kindly and smiled because she had seen many such nervous candidates who would be panicking to their maximum, before the interview . She went to Akira and asked her-"Miss Akira, do you need water or something?""Umm . . no thanks," replied Akira .The receptionist nodded and she was about to turn back to go to her seat when Akira asked her,"Do I look extremely
Akira stopped in front of a cemetery near her house . Both her parents were buried there . Although her Mom was of Indian descent, she was also buried alongside Akira's Dad because it was her Mom's wish to stay next to her husband even after death .Akira slumped on the ground and started crying . She placed her head on her father's tomb and her tears started seeping into the concrete . She was a strong girl who was not easily affected by the opinion and perspective of others, but somehow today Raymond's words stabbed her heart and made her feel like she was all alone, deserted by everybody whom she had ever loved in her life .Raymond saw Akira stopping in front of the cemetery . The burden of regret instantly increased manifold inside his heart . He rushed inside and saw Akira's frail figure slumped on the ground . She was crying like there was no tomorrow in store for her . When Raymond saw the same surname written on the tombstone as hers, he immediately understood the depth of pa

The moment Teddy got to know that Vikram was going to pay for the dinner, he got super excited and started scanning the menu card again and started ordering dish after dish . They all started laughing at his childish behavior .Teddy dismissed them all and said - " I am respecting Vikram's gesture by eating more ok !!!"Vikram laughed and added three beer and one ice tea to the order . Akira knew that the ice tea was meant for her . Vikram knew that Akira had low alcohol tolerance so whenever they used to go out he would always order some mocktail for her ."Can I have a beer today Vikram?" she asked in a coy tone ."Are you nuts?", asked Vikram . "Have you forgotten what you did on my last birthday? You destroyed my sweater and I miss it, man . That was one of my favorites for your kind information and FYI you have already ruined my shirt just a few moments before . I am not letting you ruin anything anymore," said Vikram and shook his head ."Please please, I promise I will behave,"
