The Wall Street

2. Nafisa

Ryan & Ted were sitting in the boring lecture on Global Banking & Finance, both of them feeling sleepy from their last night's gambling session but trying their best to concentrate on professor.

Ryan with whatever energy he was left with, was more interested in concentrating on Nafisa, his class mate of Pakistani descendance. She was wearing a tight blue jeans and a white top, her long silky black hairs were left open, she was wearing a pink lipstick and Pakistani kajal in her eyes, completing her cute look.

Ryan have been crazy on her since the day she joined his class, he so wanted to express his love to her, but his shy nature and geeky looks were not helping his case.

Ted noticed Ryan staring at Nafisa and slightly whispered in Ryan's ear "Staring at her again?"

Ryan was caught off guard "Naa.. trying to concentrate on professor".

"I know! I Know! When you are so crazy about her, why don't you go and talk to her?" said Ted

"What are you talking about?" lied Ryan

"Don't fuck with me. Should I try talking to her?" said Ted

"No buddy, I will talk to her myself" said Ryan

"But when? You are drooling over her from six months now" laughed Ted

"When the time is right" said a serious looking Ryan

"Time will never be right till you make it right. How about throwing a house party and inviting her?" said Ted

"House Party?? That will cost some money and we don't have any" replied Ryan

"By my calculations, we made over twenty grand in last couple of months, you must be having your share of ten grands, as you hardly spend any money on anything" chuckled Ted.

"That's my saving buddy, I am not going to spend that on a girl" replied Ryan

"Its not just a girl, its your love. Show some respect and spend some of it on a party, who knows you get a chance to lay her during that party" said an excited Ted

"Its not sex, I love her, but I don't want to spend my savings" sais Ryan

"Ohh Man! You and your fascination with Money. Let it be, I will host the party out of my share, after all you have built this revenue stream for me" said Ted

"But what will be the occasion for this party?" asked Ryan

"Since when undergrads need an occasion to party. Just shut up now and let me plan." replied Ted

"But.. " Ryan tried to argue with Ted on this, but Ted waved his hand in dismissal, conveying that this conversation is now over.

Ryan looked at Nafisa again and smiled lightly, who knows may be this plan just work for him.

"Heard you guys are hosting a house party; Hope I am invited" said Charles while playing poker in their dorm.

"Yeah, Ted is hosting it, but its still a couple weeks away. How do you know about it?" asked Ryan

"Well, everyone on the campus is talking about it" replied Charles

"What the Fuck? We haven't broken the news yet" said Ryan

"Well somebody has" said Charles and started looking towards Ted

"Okay Okay, I admit. I broke the news to some guys in the campus to create a hype about it" confessed Ted

"Are you fucking out of your mind? We were planning for a few guests and not the entire campus" said an angry Ryan.

"We will invite a few guys, but all of the hot girls of the campus. I will handle this, don't worry" chuckled Ted.

"It will be fun" said Charles and rose his bet in the on-going poker game.

"$500 bet? You have some serious money dude" said Ryan

"Thanks to my dad" said Charles and winked at him

"Haha, That's true. He is doing awesome with your family business" said Ryan

"Family Business? That's on verge of bankruptcy mate" said Charles

"Bankruptcy?" asked a worried Ryan

"Well yeah, its not cost effective to manufacture anything here in states now. Fucking Chinese are manufacturing everything that too so cheap that its very difficult to sustain in manufacturing business now" said Charles

"That's sad, so what are you guys planning now?" asked Ryan

"My father is more interested in shifting ourselves from Manufacturing to Financial Services, and have already started that business. That's the reason I am studying Finance here in NYU" replied Charles

"Financial Services, that's like trading at wall street?" asked Ryan

"Well yeah something like that, but whatever it is, its doing wonder to us. Six months into it and we are already making more profits than we ever did" said Charles and further rose the bet to a grand.

"Wow! I am myself looking for a career as a stock broker" said Ryan

Ryan has always fascinated about Wall Street and its capability to make riches out of rags, who doesn't know about world's richest person – Warren Buffet, all of his wealth generated from nothing but Wall Street. He himself wanted to be a stock broker and that was the reason he chose Finance as his major over Marketing.

"Cool, if you need any help, do let me know. I will set your meeting with my father, he will surely help you out" said Charles

"That will be Awesome! I would love to learn from him" said an excited Ryan

"Sure, I am heading over home this weekend, let me know if you want to tag along" said Charles

"Would love to, if you don't have any problem having me as a guest over weekend" uttered Ryan

"Are you crazy? I will get bored there anyway, would love to have your company" said Charles and opened his cards, winning a thirty-five-hundred-dollar hand.

Ryan was now more interested in meeting Charles father than hosting the house party, the urge to be a millionaire took over Nafisa in his thoughts.

What's more important? Money or Love?
