A Bittersweet Encounter!

Kiara went along the road, taking in minute details of the company's premises when suddenly she heard her car breaking down. She restarted the engine but it wouldn't start. 

She started panicking and a thought of leaving the car there and walking her way to the office occurred to her as she didn't want to get late. She grabbed all her belongings, the car keys and automatedly locked the car with the keys and went along walking towards her dream job.

Just then out of nowhere, a dog came running after her, startling her making her almost drop everything on the ground. She loathed dogs and there was it simply running towards her.

Gathering her things quickly, she began sprinting for life. Running was never her thing, she stood second last in a 100m race in her college, reason because the last racer didn't start. 

But, here the mission was different, she was running to save her life, as she thought so.

Filmy! 

She was sprinting like a mad person, knocking off things that came her way- people, bicycles, mini-plants.

Just then, she crashed into a thick big wall, soft, muscular which made her wince in pain, she without looking started cursing, 

"What the hell, can't you see and walk, someone is in danger here and you are sleepwalking" panting she slowly bent down, paused and started searching behind, making sure the dog is still far.

Then after a brief moment, she looked at the not-so-thick wall and her mouth fell open. To say she was shocked would be an understatement, she was mesmerized.

His Hazel Eyes with those dark circles beneath made him look more alluring, his cool yet calm demeanour erupted some feelings within her. His face didn't give anything. Blank!

But, she couldn't give in, she couldn't let him know that. She couldn't give him the power to break her again. She couldn't give anybody control over her again.

She was watching those lips dance in order to get that perfect words, unable to interpret the genre. She was so spellbound looking at him, that she hardly noticed him talking.

She was brought back to reality when the dog came running barking towards her and she out of defence took a 180-degree turn and jolted behind her Knight in (well) Formals.

She was holding her breath, unsure of how to escape this scene. Where one side was her two-minutes crush and on the other her nemesis.

She hugged him tightly from the back and started blabbering,

'Please, shooo, get away you dog, don't spoil my d-day, shoooo go go go go, you are a very good boy goooooo shoooo, Please I am still single, you cannot do this to me please go away please please....'

Her rant was interrupted by the not-so-thick-wall's loud laughter, he was laughing like a little child, his whole body was swaying along with his jawlines. 

He seemed so innocent, so carefree, so full of life at that moment.

She couldn't stop herself from blushing. The Dog, creator of all this melodrama came quietly and stood beside him.

Even the poor animal felt awkward about the hilarious laughter-worry exchange between them.

'Bicker, my good boy who spoiled your mood this morning', he asked the dog bending a little and caressing him after the little comedy show.

'Bhow Bhow', the dog signalled.

Kiara was shellshocked, loosening her grip she faced Mr.Stranger and blurted out,

'Roads are for people to walk and drive their vehicles, not for Dogs to play around and scare the shit out of people. Keep your little bundle of joy to yourself, Mister. Not everybody loves to mingle with it.'

He narrowed his eyes and stood up facing her,

'He has a name Miss ....' searching for her Id card 

'Klutz. And I prefer people calling him Bicker. Do you get it? Say sorry to him', he stated with anger filled eyes yet calm face.

'Really, are you for real? No ways, I am gonna call him/it whatever, that. I don't talk to dogs, I don't like dogs, I hate dogs and you whoever you are, want me to say sorry. He was the one who made me run for my life and you are blaming me. No ways, I am getting late for my interview, Bye', she spoke rather confidently. 

How could someone love dogs so much that they insult people for the same?

What's happening to this world! 

How can he do this to someone without even listening who is at fault?

Extra Filmy!

Keeping aside her mixed feelings, she started walking away from them.

'Interview huh, you can go even to Hell if you want. But, first Apologize, Miss Klutz, I don't think anyone would allow you inside without my permission', he mocked with a toothy grin.

'Oh, now we are talking. So, who are you? Some Manager, Some President. Tell me who you are? I am telling you all these tricks won't work on me, I personally know the Chairman of this company. You cannot even touch a strand of my hair or order me around, you know', she lied bravely. 

No information was available online about the New Chairman this company had replaced. She thought she could escape with this filmy dialogue easily. 

'Hmm, Is it? Miss Klutz, I am a little weak with my memory. Can you help me? Can you tell me his name please? ', he questioned.

'Why would I? You are also standing on the same premises, you should know ', she replied sarcastically.

'Because, the chairman doesn't forget beautiful people, Miss Klutz ', he whispered in her ear, moving an inch closer.

'Who are you?', she hushed.

'Your so-called friend, The Chairman and Managing Director of Pacific Incorporation', he said with a mischievous smile.
