All is well that ends well

Note: This is my first story.So u cant scold me if u dint like it.

"Wake up Aman!! Get up get up; U got to go to your dad's office in time!! Remember??” said mama in an alarming tone.

Aman had just returned home after his studies abroad. Aman, doing Masters abroad, was his dad's dream. Aman was proud that he took as his own dream and completed his masters.

"Mama, it’s been days since I had such a nice sleep! Please mama. Few more minutes"

He loved being at home and he always knew nothing can be compared with this.

"Aman, go brush and get ready for your favorite coffee", his mom commanded from the kitchen.

Unwillingly Aman got up and walked to bathroom. He searched for the usual mirror. “Mama Where is the mirror?”

"Remember the day of your last home coming?? I don’t want your maddy style spoil the day my son".

Aman could very well remember that incident, day of his last home coming. He was inside the bathroom after taking hair bath and was drying his hair. He saw in the mirror that on his every move his hair jumped, this reminded him of the ad (all clear ad I think! not sure. Madhavan will b shaking his head and say “All clear! NO dandruff!!") Aman tried his part as that actor. God! Some sound in the neck, he couldn’t turn his head and he cried for help. Mama examined Aman and fixed an appointment with the doctor. Doctor asked Aman to take rest for three days, which spoiled all his hang outs.

Aman saw the hot, flavored coffee ready on the table. With coffee in one hand and the newspaper in the other, he searched for a good place to settle down and enjoy.

Sipping his coffee, he glanced at the wall clock, it’s already 8.30. His dad wanted him, at his office by 10. Aman thought “I should be ready to start out by 9.20”.

Picked his phone, Dialed the no, it showed "calling Naina".

"Naina, I will be at hotel by 9.40 to pick u up”.

"Aman, why saying now? Its would have been better if u had said at 9.40 she said sarcastically … (“what is this guy thinking? Is that so easy for a gal to get ready? That too he asked me to dress up traditionally!” Naina said in very low voice so that Aman could not hear. )

"U want be Mrs. Naina Aman right? Get ready my gal”

"Hmm. Yes Aman. Love u. See u in a while”

They both hung up. Aman got ready in time and got into his dad's “i10”.

"Nice car", he thought. He had time, dint want to drive fast either. His thought drifted towards Naina. Naina, gal from an Indian family settled in the same place where he did his Masters.

2 yrs back, he met her in a coffee shop, she crossed his table. She wore a light color top and a branded jean and took a table very near him. Sipping his coffee, Aman had a good look at her. Mobile rang, frantically searched his pocket for his mobile. He couldn’t find it. He tried to get up to check his packets again. Coffee poured over him, table moved away.

He was fully in a confused state. Aman took out his phone.

The Ring stopped and he heard the other guy near him speaking in the phone. The Gal was watching all this. She burst out laughing. Aman never thought he will end up in such a mess and badly needed to get out of this place.

Aman hurried out of the restaurant. Gal's voice followed." Hello!! Excuse me! "

Aman stopped to answer the call. The gal came near him and said, “Sorry! I never wanted to make fun out of u! It just happened and I should not a have laughed. "

Aman was really surprised and excited to hear this. He said, “Its ok. It always happens with me”

The gal introduced herself as Naina Catherine Kapoor. Both were happy to know that they belonged to the same country and this led them to a brief conversation. They exchanged numbers and promised to keep in touch.

On his way home Aman took a cab. As soon as he entered his house he thought of calling up Naina, He searched for the piece of paper, that had her no.

Jesus!! Aman could not find where he wrote the number, he couldn’t take the fact that he lost her. He reassured himself saying Naina will call him up soon.

A month passed. He dint receive any call from Naina. When ever he took his coffee or while crossing the same restaurant he was reminded of her.

It was a long day for him and he was returning back home. He received a message from unknown number, and it read,

"Remember me? This is Naina. I need to talk to you".

He called her and asked where she was and promised to be there in few minutes. She was there in the same restaurant; her face showed that she had cried a lot. She tried to smile after seeing him.

Naina started the conversation, "Aman sorry to disturb u, I am in deep trouble and I can’t go asking help to anyone else. My father knows all Indians here and I know u r an exception ".

Aman decided this is a chance god has given him and he decided to help her in ever way he can.

After a few minutes of silence she started again,

"Aman, it happened today morning". Words battled out with a weeping sound.

"While driving this morning, I was having a deep thought and I never really noticed the red signal, before I could slow down or stop my car, a child came running to cross the road and the car hit the child"

She started crying again. Aman touched her hands with his and asked her to continue.

"Child fainted down and I took him to the hospital nearby and literally ran away from the hospital"

"I don’t know what to do now. Please help me, Aman".

Aman asked her to trust him and added, “Leave this matter to me and go home, I’ll take care of everything “. He took her in his car and dropped her home.

Now, He decided to go to the hospital to know the child's condition. only then will he be able to think of what to do next. As Soon as he reached the hospital, he enquired the receptionist; she said the boy was not hurt and that it was only the sudden shock that made him faint.

Aman wanted to check it himself. He went to the boy's room. The boy's parents were there. Aman was really worried about what they will tell when they come to know about the accident. But the boy's parents were really kind and asked him to thank the gal who admitted their son in the hospital.

Aman called Naina to tell her everything. He never wanted her to cry. Naina was so relieved to hear and she badly needed to thank Aman. So they decided to have a meet during the weekend.

Weekend came, they both met, Aman cracked every joke he could to make her laugh. And the time was up and they had to part.

Naina said, “Aman! I have never been this much happy in my life and thanks for the beautiful evening". This second Aman wanted her badly.

Aman said,"I want u to be happy always Naina, and it can be possible only if u become Mrs. Naina Aman” and added that he would wait for her reply.

They got back to the car, Aman drove it in silence and soon they were near Naina's place. Naina got down with out saying a word. Aman also wanted to give her some time to decide.

Naina couldn’t sleep that night; neither could she make a decision. She wanted to know about him fully.

She switched on the T.V.

Some news channel read a flash," Fatal bombings in North street".

Naina broke as she read the news that was the place were Aman was residing, she was in the state of panic and tried calling Aman's mobile.

No answer.

She tried his number again, this time the call was attended. "Aman", she said.

"Hi. Naina! What happened? "

After hearing his voice she literally broke into tears, she never wanted him to know that she was crying. She hung up the phone saying that she will call him back in some time.

Now, she realized how much she loved him. Next day she badly wanted to see him and tell him how much he meant to her.

Aman, still driving the busy road, thought- it started like this in a coffee shop, we ended up in love and I am going to pick her up in another ten minutes.

As his studies got over, he asked Naina to come with him, so that he can say about their love to dad.

Mom already knows...

He had already rehearsed how to say this matter to dad. He never thought about how his dad will react. So Aman decided office will be a better place. Along with Naina, he reached the office in time.

Aman went straight to his dad's room and knocked the door. His dad opened it and was happy to see his son, and his smile shrunk a little as his eye fell on the gal. He greeted them inside and asked them to have a seat.

Aman started the conversation, “dad! This is Naina. And I have to tell u something dad! "

His dad asked " How long u been in love? Married? "

Aman never expected his dad to take things like this “yes dad, I am in love, not yet married, will marry only with your blessings dad"

His dad dint say anything, He just told him to be at conference hall in ten minutes and walked away.

He held Naina's hand. It was already chill. He reassured her not to worry and they moved to the conference hall.

He entered the hall and could see his dad giving a speech amidst all gentlemen. His dad too saw Aman coming in.

His dad raised his cup and said “Here goes the toast for the future MD of this company and his love"

Aman and Naina were already in tears hearing his. Aman could hear congrats from everyone. He just wanted to run and hug his dad.

His father came near them, hugged them both and said," It’s all arranged my son!! U may not tell me everything my son, but your mom does!! And this is the secret of our long lasting life.
