"Some things as my girlfriend you should know.
I am punctual, I dont like slackers, i dont like disrespect. I dont have house help i like to do things myself. I love Italian cuisine, my favorite
Color is black and yes i love cycling, every weekend i go cycling. My best friend is Zara this who am i doing this for. I might hold you infront if her please dont feel uncomfortable. Like i said think of me as friend and i will try my best to make you feel comfortable. Little about Zara, she is only child , her dad business man too. She has huge social circle but her bond with me is different. She knows everything about me, everything. What i like to eat, what i do, what i think sometimes. She will test you once she finds out we are together. Any question so far?" He paused for her to comment
"No actually Yes, how we met?" She asked
"Oh yes i almost forgot i met you at an event where you were covering as reporter. We talked and i asked you on date. Keep it simple, she cannot know you are student ofcourse. You are working woman according to the drama" He said
"Ok and where do i work?"
"Um Bhaskar Times" he replied
"What if she check ?"
"I will take care, my classmate is editor there. Anything else?" He asked
"And rest we go in flow?" She asked nervously
"Yes. Now i have to know little about you. Tell me likes dislikes something "
"I love cooking, i love dancing though never did infront of audience. I hate shopping, not that adventurous but like to go on long walks. Daal chawal is my soul food" she smiled
"Interesring" He commented and mentally noted
"My mother is only relative living in different state , she works at people home" she said feeling little inferior
"Ok great. Thats enough for me and like you said we will go with flow. Come this weekend we will go cycling, you can cycle right?"
"Yes ofcourse " she replied
"Ok then wait " He went away and came back with envelope.
"Your money " he handed to her
"But we havent even started" she said
"Take it, i trust you and see you on weekend" Imlie took the money and kept in her bag and got up.
"Thank you. What time ?"
"6 am sharp" he said
"Oh yes your number?"
"Good i forgot that" He took her phone and keyed his number.
"Thank you good night" She walked to the door with him following her until the gate.
"Bye good night" he turned and went back.
Imlie took a breath "This isnt that hard Imlie. This man really trust you to give you money already. You must do as your job. She had to walk outsdie the neighborhood to get the rickshaw. Saturday at 6 , she mentally noted "Sharp" muttered to herself.
