Innayat,s Pov
I sighed looking at my phone lock screen which was showing nine O'clock. Gosh I never thought I would be so late but gladly the project is completed.
But I do feel bad for Mrs Richel as she had to stay for extra hours since all employees leaves Office before seven O'clock.
I'd already handed all work to boss who is going to pass it to client before midnight.
Boss is still working with his assistant who have to assemble everything together to make representation.
And here I am gathering my Stuffs to go home. I already told mumma that I will be late , obviously she said " No your dad will come to pick you "
But then I called dad telling him that I will take cab with my colleague.
It was hard to convince him but fortunately he agreed.
Mrs Richel came to me " Are you sure you are going to be alright. I come with you "
I smiled and assured her "It's okay Mrs Richel My house is not far away. I will take cab "
Mrs Richel gaive in seeing my stubbornness. Actually taking cab with a colleague was a lie because noone is in office except Mrs Richel.
She did offered coming with me but I can't trouble her because her apartment is in Opposite direction and it takes one hour to reach there.
Also if you ask me why I am so persistent to go home alone that's because I want to eat Ice cream.
I know its already night time and raining heavily but It doesn't matter to me, I can eat Ice cream anytime hehehehe.
If Mumma and dad came to know I am planning to devour Ice cream in such chilling wheather they will scold me alot.
I never get sick even if I eat whole box of ice cream, still they stop me. Anyways I had already booked cab and it is about to come.
As I got message from cab driver, I
Waved my hand to Mrs Richel as a goodbye and stormed out of the building and sit inside the cab.
I told the cab driver to stop two kilometer away from my home. There is a convenient store in that area where I buy Ice cream everytime I walk back home.
I love to walk home rather than using any local transport or car. I peeked out of the window and noticed rain is slowed down.
A pout formed on my lips because I was thinking to have some fun by getting drenched in rain.
I like to play and dance in rain but did get good scolding from Mumma everytime I came back home with soaked clothes but it is worth the fun I have.
â§â§â§â§â§â§â§â§â§â§â§â§
I escorted myself out of the cab paying the cab driver. The streets were empty and I happily moved inside the convenient store with anticipation of savoring my dessert.
Since no one is here to watch me devour my treats I will take two flavors Ummm... one will be pistachio and other will be black currant.
But the store was deserted because there were no present spotted . Obviously Only crazy person will roam on streets for Ice cream in such heavy rain hehehehe.
When I reached store counter uncle wasn't there so I searched around the store to see if he is shifting the stocks or maybe fixing a light bulb.
But He wasn't around so I decided to went outside, there is possibilities of him being somewhere.
As I was running towards exist, it was opened from outside. Since the door was made up of one way mirror so I collided with a hard rock chest and was about to hit the ground but someone grabbed my waist making me get into warm embrace.
I was frozen but after sometime turned my face up to see the one who saved me.
The face I saw was astonishingly beautiful especially the hazel eyes he had.
How much I always wished to get these hazel orbs but I've brown Orbs.
He was staring for too long and I blinked my eyelashes repeatedly, confused by his behavior.
Finally he left my waist stepped back making a safe distance between us and said " You should be careful Baccha" and ruffled my hairs.
I was in utter shock from which angle I look like kid to this big man?. Just because he is tall doesn't mean he get license to treat me as kid.
I got twenty-two with great efforts not just to be called kid by some random six foot seven inch man.
I immediately said "I am twenty-two years old Uncle!!!!!!!"
I huffed in anger if I am a kid then he is uncle humph.
I said looking straight in those hazel eyes who was staring at me with softness in their gaze all this while.
This man is 6'7 but can't distinguish between kid and adult and had audacity to call me kid?
I know I reach bearly to his chest but it doesn't mean he can call me kiddo.
It was awkward between us after my declaration. I pouted alittle and said "Don,t call me kid Just because I am short "
I waited for him to say something but he stood silent for a long time, testing my patience.
I broke the silence by saying fiercely "Are you not going to apologize "
Author,s Pov
Divyansh scratched his neck peering his eyes everywhere around her. She was still waiting for him to say something or atleast some apologetic words.
Inaayat crossed her arms trying to intimidate him " You should say Sorry to me Mister "
She thinks her eyes were scaring the bulky man in front of her. Only if she knew her puppy eyes can do nothing, except making the man in front of internally cooed at her adorable efforts to scare him.
He does felt nervous under her gaze but that was for whole different reason.
Divyansh stammered and said " I-I am sorry for assuming your age"
For the first time in his entire life someone has guts to make Divyansh Suryavanshi apologize and Appalling part is it,s a tiny this little cute human who may not even able to protect itself against a lized roaming in her room.
He felt nervous, stumble over his words under her presence. But he was not familiar with this chaos in his behavior which just happened.
Innayat,s lips curled into adorable smile, her cheeks lifted up making her almond eyes shrink abit.
"It's okay I forgive you" She said.
Divyansh was about to ask her name but someone intruppted them. It was the old cashier who just returned from restroom.
Shopkeeper "Areye beta what are you doing here , that too so late " He said looking at Clock hanging on the wall which indicates it,s Nine and half an hour.
Innayat said in relief " Thank God Uncle you came. I want to get pistachio and Black currant Ice cream"
Divyansh was confused and amused at the same time to encounter someone who is able to digest Ice cream when it's still cold and raining outside.
He watches her following old cashier who took our two different flavors of cone out of chest freezer.
She paid for them and walked out of the store hopping happily like a rabbit ignoring his presence.
And Here Divyansh was in dilemma to follow her or not, but he came to realization about what he is thunk and why he came here.
So he went towards the counter and again having his usual blank look he said "I want one cigarette packet"
â§â§â§â§â§â§â§â§â§â§â§â§
After paying he came out of the store and this time again rain was pouring heavily. He was standing under the shed of the store.
He took out one cigarettes from the packet and pulling his lighter out of the pant pocket he lit up loosie( cigar), Trapping it around his fingers he approached it to his mouth inhaling the narcotic substance and exhale the puff in air.
His shoulder were relaxed and his eyes were gazing into emptiness of sky.
He was about to take another puff but halted on his action after his eyes fall on a small figure standing under the tree on the dark side of the street.

She spread both her hands from the dark, under the shower of rain and a admiring smile made its way on her beautiful petal lips, looking up towards the clouds which were pouring drops of rain.
She slowly took steps out of the dark, the side of street from where light was coming, illuminating her fragile form which now was getting soaked fully in rain.
This time zipper is not over her purple kurti.
Her eyes were closed and face was lifted up towards the sky as if she was feeling the overwhelmed by some kind of pleasant music.
Loud thunder made it,s way between the rain making her smile broadened.
She opened her eyes and chuckle while looking at the droplets which was seemingly beautiful on her , stopping Divyansh,s actions.
His mind long forgotten the cigar, which had already fallen on wet concrete floor.
He didn't even blinked once, captivated by mesmerizing event unfolding in front of him.
She jumped , splashing her feets in rain water on the road and moved both of her hands in the air back and forth.
She twrilled her body, her hands widespread, feeling each drops hitting her skin from above.
She was inhaling the scent of the rain, which was perfect with her musk fragrance evident around him and her giggles were the only thing occupying whole streets.
Those long hairs were already wet in rain with her face glistening under moonlight.
Divyansh felt like he was in heaven because She was no less than apsara (nymphs).
This Tyrant was smiling Unknowingly just looking at her dancing like a kid in rain.
It has no seduction, she has pure innocence which was affecting the stoned heart of a tyrant.
With her every splash on water he can hear his heart beating in rhythm with her each steps if that sounds possible.
He never knew that this kind of girl can exist in this world where mostly people hates rain, She was admiring it like no one else ever did.
He felt shivers throughout his body by seeing the etheral sight which was meant to behold.
He was under the invincible spell of this innocent beauty who was suppressing the heart of Tyrant unwittingly.
He couldn't describe in words what he was happening to him .He felt felt an electric surge in his body.
Gentle breeze made its way colliding with her strands making Divyansh envy them as he can only stare from far being immobile in this moment.
The rain drops dripping from her skin looking like a pearl.
He was in daze which broke when she suddenly disappeared from his sight. It was like she simply vanished into thin air.
He looked around frantically for her but could not find her anywhere
Divansh cursed his brain who put this urge in him to find her but reluctantly he had to went back in car.
He also left his cigarette pack on wet floor.Divyansh also wondered for once if he was imagining things.
TIME SKIP
Mr Shurayvanshi interjected in silent dinner "I heard you rejected marriage proposal of Bedi,s daughter "
Divyansh raised an eyebrow glancing at his Mom who has annoyed expression "Yes what about that"
Rajveer Shurayvanshi tried to implore "Did you even saw her photo? Maybe you should consider her atleast once"
He said sliding a pic on dining table near Divansh,s plate.
He was about to eat next morsel but halted after his eyes catch the same smile who was the reason of his disheavl form few hours ago.
This Innayat girl is the same one he met few hours ago
Rahima Suryavanshi "Let it be Raj. If he doesn't want to marry Innayat. will not force him anymore!!!!."
She said in defensively referring she actually meant every word she said.
"NO!!!!!!!!" Divyansh at once jolted from his seat yelling suddenly.
His parents were shocked but they understood that perhaps apparently he is not willing to continue this marriage debate So his Mother said " It's okay beta I understand. I will bring no more proposals for you but don't be mad"
Divyansh said " NO- I mean..Ummm"
Both his parents looked at each other, there jaw dropped on floor. They never thought their son have ability to reflect hesitancy as blunt and rude he was.
Divyansh composed his demeanor seeing their expression and said " I am ready to marry her "
He left the dinning table not before secretly sliding Innayat,s pic inside his trousers,s pocket.
He stormed in his room with steady steps trying to indicate there is nothing wrong with him.
Rahima Suryavanshi was in cloud nine hearing his agreement that too directly for marriage instead of meeting her once.
â§â§â§â§â§â§â§â§â§â§â§â§â§
Slamming his bedroom door open he entered and locked it from inside. He grapsed his hair in frustration reminiscing how he behaved few minutes ago.
He hate this version of him, which he obviously didn't know where it's coming from.
Divyansh was not able to deal with all this unpredictable emotions and conflicts it is making for him.
It,s unusual for his intelligent CEO self, not being able to think rationally.
He donesn,t even knew why he has her pic with him and was about to throw it in dustbin but retreated his hand back and put it inside the drawer of his left side of nightstand.
The moonlight was falling inside the room from the window whose drapes were open.
He laid on his king-bed and taking warm and cozy white duvet till his neck eventually he fall in deep sleep.
