Time - around 12:40 pm

Akira was almost ready when she heard the doorbell ring and ran to get the door . She was wearing a beautiful peach colored line dress which was accentuating her features . She wore matching sneakers to complement her look . She had her hair in loose curls and was looking nothing less than a pretty peach .

When she opened the door, she found Vikram holding a bouquet of baby's breath which was Akira's favorite thing in the world . He was dressed in casuals but still looked like a fas.h.i.+on model who has jumped straight out of a catalog .

She immediately beamed with happiness and grabbed the flowers from his hands .

"For me!!!?", she asked innocently with Bambi eyes .

"No, it's for Mike," Vikram said in a sarcastic tone and rolled his eyes .

"You are so sweet Vikram," said Akira and rushed to hug him, but unfortunately she stumbled because of the door-mat and fell straight into Vikram's arms . His arms embraced her like a safety net and he hauled her back quickly so that she didn't fall . She had lost her footing and when he pulled her back towards him something unexpected happened . His lips accidentally grazed hers and her eyes opened wide in shock .

There was a surge of electricity within and he became all numb . He wasn't able to get a grip of things happening around him . It happened for a fraction of a second but he felt like he was floating in the clouds . His mind wasn't able to think any further nor his body was responding to him . He literally had to shake his head to get back to reality .

When Akira saw Vikram shake his head after the mad encounter, she felt weird . She held his arms which were holding her in a tight grip and freed herself . She looked at him and said -

"It was just an accident . Why are you acting like I stole a kiss from you?"

Then she darted inside before Vikram could open his mouth to say something .

He instantly regretted shaking his head . He did it to shrug off his wild and unconquerable thoughts and not because he was repulsed . But now she took it otherwise and it was difficult for him to make her understand . He so badly wanted to rip his heart open and tell her how exactly he felt, but he kept quiet because he knew this wasn't the right time . He didn't want to sound like an opportunist who was waiting for her to break up with her boyfriend to start up things for himself .

While riding Vikram's car, Akira didn't take the front seat . She sat in the back because she was still angry with him . Mike who was sitting in the front seat had no idea what had happened between the two . But he knew that something was wrong as they both were sulking . He asked them twice and they unanimously told both the times - "Nothing" . So he decided not to ask any further and decided to act like a mock spectator .

Vikram adjusted his rear-view mirror so that he could catch a glimpse of her . When Akira saw him adjusting the mirror she thought it otherwise . She a.s.sumed that Vikram was adjusting it because he didn't want to look at her . She couldn't understand why he was hating her so much for such a small accident which was so not her fault .

She pouted out of anger and asked him - "Is my face so bad that you have to keep adjusting your mirror?"

Before Vikram could reply, Mike jumped in and said - "Jeez Akira, the purpose of the mirror isn't to look at people sitting behind . That happens only in your Rom-Coms", and then he started laughing hysterically . He thought Vikram would also join him in the laugh but he was dead serious .

Utter silence prevailed in the car . The silence was so intense that it was almost deafening .

Five minutes later Akira got an email and she screamed at the top of her lungs after reading it .

"What's wrong?", asked Mike .

"What's wrong? Ask me what is so right you dumb-head", replied Akira .

"Ok, what is so right you dumb-head?", asked Mike with a hint of sarcasm .

Any other day she would have kicked him bad, but since she was super happy she decided to spare him and said - "I got an interview call from Delphie HR for the interns.h.i.+p that I had applied . Feels like finally, my stars are s.h.i.+ning . "

"I know its too premature of me to be happy, but I can't help it . Finally, something good is going to happen", she added and beamed with happiness .

Vikram was very content to hear it .

"Looks like today is a good day . First, a kiss from her and now looks like my plan is working as expected", Vikram thought to himself and a bright smile spread on his face .
