Be careful with Fairies

Reena looked at the wall clock with two icecreams in her hands, which said it is 3.30 in the afternoon. Her eyes went to Rocky who is talking with somebody from his men.

They went around the city and spent some good time together.

Reena is quite impressed by the way he was, without any security men around, they just enjoyed their time. Ofcourse their security system is there but he managed that it won't be any disturbance to them.

"Are you busy?" She asked as he approached her and grabbed his icecream for her hands.

"No Shona. But tomorrow we will leave early in the morning."

"So we will head to your house and bid them a good bye."

"But we still have more places to see don't you want that?" He frowned.

"No. We will visit that places some other time for now we will go to house spend time with them all till night and return to hotel. Ok?" She asked.

"Now that the schedule is planned how can I say no. Let's leave then." He started walking and she grabbed his arm.

" First we should to go to our hotel room I have to change." She said enjoying her favourite butterscotch.

"Why? With this umber colour frock even you are looking like a crunchy vanilla icecream." He said licking his simple vanilla cone with a notorious smirk on his lips.

"Acha! You want me to meet your chacha and whole colony in this short dress." She hit his shoulders playfully.

"So, it's exclusively my right to see you like this. Ok then." He winked and she narrowed her eyes.

"Don't act too smart. We are standing on the road and everyone is seeing me." She replied back.

"Yes yes. I'm also seeing, they are also seeing. But I..possess what Iam seeing." He said in a haorse whisper checking her out from head to toe. Reena felt her blood rushing to her abdomen with his domineering words.

She becomes hell turned on when he talks such dark things.

She cleared her throat as they completed eating.

"Shall we leave?" He asked staring at her red blushing face with teasing smile.

He is proud at the effect he had on her.

She nodded.

They drove to the hotel and Rocky waited for her in the couch.

Then came Reena adjusting her baby blue dupatta around her sleeky waist going with hot pink lehenga. She took some matching bangles and earrings from her bag and walked to the mirror just beside couch. She can feel Rocky's intense stare on her as she got ready.

" Completed with your ogling. Let's go." With this both left to chacha's place.

The kids came running as they heard Rocky's bike sound. Reena got down backseat and signalled the men to distribute the icecreams and other bakery items to the kids.

After they greeted all the people, both settled on the seating in the porch with the children.

"Oh my god! you look like a fairy" said a 7 year old boy with his cheek resting on his palm dramatically.

Reena smiled and caressed his hair lovingly for his innocent compliment.

Rocky passed a teasing look to her.

Then they kept talking to the children.

"Reena Desai" came an unknown manly voice and they turned their heads to a handsome young man in neat formals.

"Abhay" Reena screamed in exhilaration. She ran to him and then they had a casual side hug.

While Rocky had a frown 'who is this good-for- nothing fellow hugging his Shona ? And why on earth is she so excited for him?'

"Rocky He is my high school friend,Abhay." She introduced him. Thank god she noticed that even he is there.

"Abhay .." she stopped. What should she introduce him as. Would-be NO.

Boyfriend NO.

Then what.

"Rocky" rocky said understanding her confusion.

"Oh bhai !! Who doesn't know you in Bombay." Abhay proposed for a shake hand.

Rocky smirked as they shook hands.

"Why are you here ?" Reena asked with a giddy smile.

" I work as secretary in the nearby programming company. Our car got stopped when me and my boss were travelling back to office."

"Oh!"

"And you. Why are you here ?" Abhay asked.

" We came to visit our people in Bombay." Rocky replied even before Reena could think of the answer.

"And what's going on? I heard you got married."she asked.

"Yes. Iam married last year and going to get a son or daughter in few months." He answered with a smile.

"Oh that's great!!" She said.

" Reena can you do a favour to me. " Abhay asked with pleading eyes.

"Yaa sure. What's that?" Reena replied instantly.

' why the hell is she being too nice to him.' Rocky narrowed his eyes.

" Actually my boss want to meet you from so many days for some business talk. Could you please lend ten minutes to us ?"

"Okay" Reena spoke.

While a kid came front from the crowd.

"Rocky Bhai, chacha is calling you. "

Oh nice. Although he don't want to witness this old friends colourful reunion.

He thought his chacha saved him and left into house. Abhay returned with his boss.

"Sir, this is Miss Reena Desai, founder of Mystic art jwellery Company." Abhay formally introduced her to his boss.

"This is Surendra, founder of RK computers." He signalled to a man probably in his 40's.

The kids were interestingly seeing the conversation.

"I have tried to meet you since many months. But you were adamant to even give your appointment." Surendra spoke.

She didn't give appointment so this person's topic doesn't worth this meeting she thought.

" And what is the reason you want to meet me, Sir ?" She added some respect. This person is seeming suspicious.

" You have a factory of your company in the city centre of Mangalore. Right?"

" Hm" she nodded with a frown.

"We actually want to establish our branch in Mangalore. I own some place just beside your factory. So, I want you to sell that factory place to me. Then I will set my huge company there."

She now understood who's this person. From past six months she is facing so much pressure because of that factory they want her to sell that but she chose the city centre because it is accessible.

She answered their calls and said them it's not possible. But they kept irritating her with their requests. This person is trying to convince her again.

"No. I don't want to sell that land. "

" I believe in beauty with brains. You seem beautiful and intelligent too. So think wisely miss Reena." Surendra said with a creepy look gawking at her from top to bottom.

"Otherwise you may find yourself in some trouble because of this piece of land. You know that the days are hard for a young stunner like you. Right?" He showed some fake concern.

Reena felt anger rushing into her brain. The next minute she grabbed something from her waist and put it on the heart of that Surendra.

It was a gun.

The people who were present there were astonished by the sudden change of events. Then they saw a gun holder perfectly tucked with her lehanga and skillfully covered with her dupatta drape.

" Iam not afraid of your warnings. If I wish I can even destroy all your companies in blink of an eye. . Although you seem like a halfwit ,think wisely you want a piece of land of my factory or your life."

"L...I..F..E" he replied stuttering. While Rocky came out with Chacha saw the scene with a confused look.

" So don't even dare to poke your finger in my business. Leave." She roared.

Surendra ran to his car, which is now brought by his secretary.

"Reena, I'm really sorry." Abhay seemed innocent on all these Choas.

"No Abhay. It's nothing with you. But your boss is a clown. "

"Bye then. Let's meet some other time."

" Yes. Keep coming to our get togethers." She said with a smile. Abhay left with his fuming boss.

" What happened Shona? Did that idiot bother you ?"

" No. It was some business deal. I can handle it."she said smiling as she tucked back her gun safely. She looked at the kids who are still shocked by seeing their fairy's this form.

"Come let's sit, what were we talking?" She tried to cheer them up as they still had their mouths hung open. She pulled them on to the porch seating.

"You are a fairy. How can you use a gun?" A kid came infront of her with accusing tone.

She smiled at the special question and Rocky watched her that what answer she is going to give.

" Fairies need a gun more than anyone else. " She announced.

"How?" Came a question from rabble of young minds.

" Because a fairy has to protect herself as well as the people who believe in her." She replied caressing their heads.

" Oh!" They said in unison.

"So next time when you cross your paths with a fairy. Be careful. She can be the most powerful person you have ever seen." She warned them dramatically. Rocky smiled at her way of teaching good manners to kids.

" Is it?" Said the innocent mind. They always heard that men are powerful and women are just beautiful, beautiful is always weak. But this woman changed the whole theory.

"Hmm" Rocky hummed. Now that their Rocky Bhai is saying this it is a truth but they didn't knew.

"So you have so much power that you can make everyone bow infront of you?" Another boy asked.

" Yes. But I don't want people bowing before me with fear, I want their respect.

And if they fail to give me respect.."

The boys became interesting.

" I will make them respect me with fear."She smirked.

" What should we do to gain their respect?" A girl beside Rocky asked.

" You should get success in life." Rocky replied smiling at her.

" What's success?" Another boy asked.

" In every stage of your life you want to become something. Success is becoming what you wanted to become. And when you become successful for once you shouldn't stop and start finding another goal, that is important too." She glanced at Rocky widening her eyes.

Rocky blinked his eyes in assurance 'yes, I will do that'

" So, now you all have to decide what you want to become. And have to write it in a letter and post to my office by next Monday. I will give the address to Bhagya amma. Ok?" She announced.

"Ok" they shouted in unison.

"Now go and start thinking" with that all started running to their mothers.

"You know, why many lives end up here in this slums?" She implied Rocky.

"Because they don't have a goal to be accomplished. Once we set a goal to them, they work on it. You see, they will have a bright future. " She said.

Yes, his mother did the same thing. She set a goal to him that he should die like a king and he worked for it, became a king.

"It's already late. Shall we leave to hotel?" She asked.

"Yes."

"Kasim chacha will accompany us. Right?"

"Yes Shona."

Then they took leave from his Bombay fans.

"Who was that guy?" Rocky asked as they changed to their night clothes and settled on the couch in their luxurious hotel room.

" Who Abhay?" She asked with a smile.

" Hmm" he said with stern look.

"I already said . He was my high school friend."

" But he seemed so much more than a friend. You had a different expression." He narrowed his eyes.

" Nothing." She smiled uncomfortably.

" I can sense something suspicious. Tell me why were you so excited by seeing him?" He asked with ready-to-dig the truth out look.

" Well...

He was my crush in high school." She answered with fidgeting her hair nervously.

"Crush" Rocky's eyes popped out.

" Hmm"

" What kind of crush?"

"Ah! What does that mean?" She asked.

" Like the crush I have on you." He asked with innocence filled eyes.

" No, Your's is love. But it wasn't that deep in my case." She answered and continued with a sheepish smile.

" It's just some teenage attraction and it slowly faded out with time." She seemed sincere.

" Then did you confess your feelings to him ?" He looked little too interested in her unfinished crush story. Long gone the possessive boyfriend, she felt him like a friend asking about the new gossip.

" I didn't. Because I know that my feelings don't last for so long. The feelings came and went. But I wasn't disturbed. And obviously I wasn't ROCKY to go and propose someone whom I saw just some seconds ago."

"But my love is serious." He is offended by the mention of his love as some attraction and a cute pout appeared on his lips.

" I know." She noticed he is cross with her.

"Come on. I was just a high school girl. It's a mere hormonal imbalance." She said to cheer up his upset mode.

"Hmm" he hummed with that unpleasant expression still on his face.

" Then What?" She asked him again.

"You hugged him." He finally said that. She huffed at his words and jumped on him that they ended up in a sleeping position in the couch.

"Now enough?" She said lifting her head. He gave a ear to ear smile to her.

" You are impossible." She muttered as he snaked his arms onto her waist.

"Now leave me." She hit his shoulders.

" No way" he said in husky voice. " Ayy!!" She warned swaying her index finger.

"Shona"

"Raja"

"It's late now go to your room. We have to leave early in the morning." She said hiding her blush.

He finally left her and she literally pushed him out of her room.

Smile never leaving their faces.
