The arrogant one

"Deepak's here." Abhishek informed her. She rushed to meet him. He was ordering Iced americano. "It's been a long time."

"Yup. Where were you? I searched for you everyday." he enquired. "I was with my friend . You ordered anything?"

"Yup. Your favourite iced americano." he replied with a smile on his face. "I'll come now ." she said and went to prepare something. She returned with a chocolate pudding. They both entered into their own world.

It was when she started working in her restaurant. He was her tutor. She was learning coffee arts from him. He once came to have her coffee."Your coffee and the art is good." he appreciated her. "Who's restaurant is this ?" he enquired . "It is owned by both me and my friend." she smiled and replied. It was the first time he came to her restaurant. He became their regular customer . "Don't call me sir. Just be casual with me." he informed. She agreed. Soon they became friends.

After an hour of talk he said bye and got into his car. A call came to her phone. It was Neeraj. "Are you going anywhere?" Vimal asked her. "Yes. My boss will arrive here soon. He wants to tell me something." she replied . Soon a car arrived . "Get in." he opened the door for her. "What is that you wanna tell me?" she asked her. "Actually , it's my friend's mother's birthday. Idk what to give as a gift. I called you cuz to help me buy a gift." he replied. "You have a friend, sir? It's great. I'll help you to select a gift." she replied and smiled. They reached a newly opened shop. "Why did he want me to select a gift? I mean, he remembered me when he thought about gifts and celebration ? or.." she started thinking.

She returned to her room after a busy schedule. She lied on her bed as soon as she came .

The next day she got ready to work at the restaurant . Deepak arrived at the restaurant . Are you here to pick Rithika? It's your mother's birthday right? Tell her my wishes." Vimal said with a smile on his face. " Of course." he replied and searched for her. He sat on a chair and ordered her favourite iced americano. After a few minutes both of them got into the car. They reached his house. His mother was waiting for them. "Happy birthday mom" she handed over the gift and wished her. They chatted for a while. Soon someone knocked on the door. It was Neeraj . He handed over the present and wished her. "After receiving the gift everyone feels happy?" he asked Rithika. "Yup. Of Course . " she replied with a smile on her face. They cut the cake . After chatting for a while Neeraj left home. Deepak and Rithika got into the car. "How was the day?" he asked her. "It was a nice day. Actually, you are really different from the person whom I know." she replied. They reached her restaurant .

It was a rainy night . It followed thunder too. Someone opened her restaurant door and got into the kitchen . It was a girl . She pulled the table and opened a secret door .Then placed something which was inside a plastic cover . There was a person in the corner of the room who was tied to a chair.
