Samiksha was preparing for the day in her shop, Sam’s Cakes. Crave For More. Her helpers, Mallika and Charmie, were looking after the customers, serving them with a smile.
“Samiksha, I think we need to hire one more staff member,” Charmie told her in the kitchen.
“Hmm. I agree. But let us wait for some more time. I want to expand a little more first.”
“Well, your business instincts are good, and I trust them. Let us get back to work. Oh, yeah, I hope you are not disappointed with Creative Appetit’s response.”
“Not at all. It was his outlook. Whatever. Can we work now?”
Samiksha barged
into the shop area, leaving a confused Charmie behind, as her actions did not match her words.
“We will need more chocolate-craving cakes,” Mallika informed her, pointing towards the door.
“And that hinge needs a fix. It’s screeching since yesterday.”
“Yes, I noticed that. Let me check it.”
Samiksha came out and observed the hinge that needed repair.
“Has the hinge too disappointed you? Or is it the door?” A familiar voice questioned her from behind.
An astonished Samiksha turned around to find a smiling Karan Khanna scrutinising her with his eyes, grilling her right there.
“Um, what are you doing here?”
“Why? Is there a prohibition for my entrance into this area?” Karan answered, a smile still lingering on his lips.
“Obviously not,” Samiksha brushed her hair back and looked into his intense eyes. Her eyes stopped at his neatly trimmed beard hairs for a second.
“So who got your approval that day? Or did everyone leave without one?”
“Surprisingly, your second guess is right. No one was selected from the lot. You can say they are still under inspection.”
“Not me.”
“Pardon me.”
“I said, not me. I am out of it.”
Karan smiled at her stubborn nature, but somehow, it didn’t annoy him. He wouldn’t have taken this from any other person.
“Hello, I have to work. You have not yet mentioned the purpose of your visit.”
Slowly
He removed a familiar ceramic dish from the small case he was carrying.
“I think you forgot to carry back your dish with you.”
“It was not needed to bring it back.”
“It’s not a good practice, Samiksha. Your shop is in its blooming phase. Do not take finances for granted. You should not give away your resource materials in charity to anyone. Sorry for the free advice, but I have always had high regard for hard-working people like you.”
“Um, thanks for the concern. But you came here just to return this?”
“You think so?”
Karan’s piercing gaze made Samiksha’s heartbeat skip at once.
“Well, then, I am taking it.” She tried to grab the ceramic dish from his hand, but his firm grip on it prevented her from doing so.
“Samiksha
we need you inside”, Charmie opened the glass door and barged into the scene interrupting Samiksha and Karan’s moment.
As soon as she saw Karan, her mouth fell open.
“I mean, the Karan Khanna is here, in our shop? What a delight! Samiksha, you must be kidding me. You didn’t invite him in yet? Sir, you are here to visit our shop? I am your big fan. Your recipes, your style. I just adore your style.”
Samiksha’s sarcastic glance at her halted the endless lines of praises for Karan, and she awkwardly fidgeted with her fingers.
“You are welcome to my shop,” Samiksha said, opening the door for Karan and paving the way for him. As he entered the shop, he noticed the minute details Samiksha had paid attention to in the development of the bakery shop.
“Impressive, I must say.”
“Samiksha was quite upset when you rejected her cake the other day.” Charmie once again faced Samiksha’s piercing gaze.
“Oh, was she? I found her very cool when she left that day,” Karan said, eyeing Samiksha and enjoying her sweet gestures.
“I was cool.”
Samiksha fired back stubbornly. Charmie and Mallika showed Karan their shop, and he listened patiently to them. Samiksha stole a glance towards him as he was looking at her shop.
“I must say, Samiksha, you have worked hard to make your shop beautiful. Its look captures a visitor’s heart at first sight.”
“My mother has taught me all the beautification detailing I know. She stitches clothes. I have inherited her fighter spirit, you can say.”
Samiksha stopped suddenly, realising she was so comfortable opening up to Karan.
“Um, would you like our special Chocolate Craving cake?”
“Some other time. I have to rush for a meeting.” Karan looked at the three ladies and said.
“I am sure it must be as tasty as your orange vanilla cake you brought that day.”
Samiksha looked at him
wide-eyed and forced a smile. Karan smiled back at her and then left.
In the evening, Samiksha relaxed in her flat after a tiring day. Her phone rang, and she smiled wide, finding her mother’s name on it.
“Mommy, I am fine. The day was nice, and I had my dinner.”
“I know all of this. Tell me something I don’t know.”
“What?”
“Because if my angel has the slightest of problems, I come to know my darling.”
“I love you, Ma. By the way, I hope you have gone to Doctor Uncle Peter. You were sneezing yesterday while on the phone.”
Her mother giggled before replying, “I am absolutely fine. Don’t worry about me at all. Concentrate on your work. I want to see your bakery flourish more, my sweetheart.”
“Yes, ma, it’s due to your blessings that I have reached here and will go to further heights, I promise. Take care, Ma. I am off to sleep now. Bye. Love you.”
On the other hand, Karan was a bit restless in his huge bed. Something crossed his mind again and again. It was an innocent yet fiercely stubborn face. He wondered why he could not wipe her memory from his subconscious mind. He was used to meeting girls. Few were in his circle itself. But no one had yet made such an impact on him as this girl. She had a straightforward nature, a true heart and a certain charm that would melt iron. She is undoubtedly unique.
Samiksha.
