Surbhi's POV

You know people say first impression is last impression. But is that so ?

Because my first impression was very bad in front of Mahir but the way he's talking to me it feels good and his first impression was also a bit bad in front of me but he's definitely not like that.

 Mahir's sister and mom are also so good.

They reciprocated my wishes with so much enthusiasm.

I was about to go and check Mahir's sister again when my phone rang.

"Hey mumma" I answered the call

"What are you doing?" She asked

"Nothing was going to see a patient" I replied

"Did you have your lunch" she asked. 

"Ye-yes mumma" I lied

"Lie. Surbhi !! I called Anjali and asked her. You didn't have your lunch and you are lying now" she scolded.

Anjaalliii!!!!!!!

"Mumma I'll have it." I said

"Oh.! When? Have you seen the time" Asked mumma

"Emm yeah..I'll eat. Okay now bye" I said and cut the call.

As I turned I collided with wall!

Sorry ! Someone !!

"Ouch!" I was about to fall and my eyes shut itself.

 But I didn't fall. I was in air !

Am I flying!!!             

 Shutup Surbhi.

Two strong arms were around my waist which held me protectively. I...I felt the protectiveness.

I dared to open the eyes and looked at the pair of dark brown eyes which were full of concern. My both hands were on his shoulders clutching his shirt tightly.

As I gained my senses, it hit me hard.

I realized my position and tried to stand up properly and he left me carefully .

"Are you-" he was about to say.

"I am sorry Mr. Mahir. I just didn't know you were there and I collided.." I rambled

"No worries. But you fine" he asked

"Yea- yeah" I said.

 I was about to go when he held my wrist.

"Surbhi stop" he said and I froze where I was!

Even his voice is Intimidating !!

"You didn't have your lunch till now. You told your friend that you'll have afterwards.

When that time will come. You know its 4 and you didn't have anything. You yourself are a doctor then how you can be so careless" he scolded me.

Why is he scolding me. He listened to my  talks !!!!

"You were listening to my talks" I glared and what I got in return was a smirk.

"Not only me every passing by  have listened what you were saying" He replied

Congratulations Surbhi !Embarrassing moment once again!!!

"Emm ..sorry" I said eying at the floor

"No sorry. Come with me" he said grabbing my wrist again.

"Oooo...where " I asked

"To the food court!  Come and eat first" he said

"No. I've to go and check on your di" I replied

"She's sleeping Surbhi" he said and dragged me towards the lift.

"Mr. Mahir but.." I wanted to say but he stopped me

"See. Even I've not eaten my lunch and I want a company. Will you give me a company?" He asked

"You haven't ate till now. Why. Are you mad Mr.Mahir" I scolded and soon found him smirking.

"Did I hear it right that someone is saying me mad for not eating my lunch" he mocked
 
I bit my lower lip. Whenever I feel embarrassed or like crying or feeling nervous I bite my lower lip.

"Let's go " I replied

"So as we are going to eat together and you know eating together makes new friends" he told.

  What. Who said that.

"Oh.. And Mr.Mahir can I know the name of the great philosopher who said this" I asked him suppressing my laughter.

"The one and only great Mahir  Maheshwari" he smirked and I laughed

"So.....Friends!!" He asked forwarding his hand to me.

I smiled and forwarded my hand to shake it with him. 

There were Butterflies in stomach. This sensation was something which I've never felt. I shook all this idiotic thoughts and moved towards canteen.

"So Surbhi now as we are friends will you please stop me calling with that Mr. Mahir. Can't you just call me Mahir. Is that so difficult" He asked

"Emm...actually..I...umm..okay" I hesitated

"What will you eat" he asked

"Umm..Nothing much heavy. Just dal and rice." I said

"What. You want to eat dal and rice. Really Surbhi" he asked

"Oh. Hello. It's the best food. You eat whatever you want to I'll eat that only" I replied

"Fine" He said and soon came two plates of dal and rice.

"Someone said who eat dal and rice. " I mimicked him while smirking.

"I like it. It's not as if I don't like but eating with you first time and dal rice" he said

"Idiot. Eat now" I  replied chuckling.

"So Surbhi. You are doing gynecology" he asked

"Yup" she replied

"What's your age Surbhi" he asked and the next I know was I was coughing badly.

Shit!!!

He handed me the glass of water patting my back!!

"I'm sorry. I didn't ..I am sorry" he replied

"Its okay. Not your mistake. Actually suddenly you asked this question so.." I said

"Why you girls are so concerned about not telling your age" he asked

"Oh hello. It's nothing like that okay. I am not like those so called girls who have any problem in telling age. I'm 25."I told

" Oh..I am 27" he replied 

"Did I ask?" I asked him faking frown and his face fell .

I was hardly able to suppress my laughter!

"Err..No" he said looking the floor.

That's it ! I burst out laughing  which was later joined by him.

His smile is good.

He looks good when he laughs. Then why everyone in the world say that Mahir Maheshwari is a cold and an arrogant man.

"Smile often Mahir. You look good smiling." I said and suddenly he stopped laughing and looked at me .

 And the same cold eyes were back !! But why!!!

" I don't smile. People like me the way I am.. rude and arrogant" he mumbled and fisted his hands.

"Mahir. What happened" I asked

"Nothing. Eat ...food its getting cold" he replied

I frowned.
.
"Friends don't hide things" I said

"And you know people pretend to like the way you show them. Ask  friends..ask your family..ask your close ones that when you look good" I added smiling trying to cheer him up!

He looked at me again.

"We're Friends since 20 minutes only. And I don't trust in such a small period of time and moreover I don't trust anyone" he said rudely

Why he has to be like this. Why I said this! He's right. Friends since just 20 minutes. Why the hell will he trust me.

Then why did he asked that time that can he trust me. Oh ! Why am I thinking this. It was just for the injection he asked me if he can trust me.

"Yeah. Right" I said and ate my food silently and even he didn't say anything.

After completing my food I put my plate in bin and when he was asking the man about bill, I came forward and was about to pay the bill.

"I'll pay it. You don't need to" he told

I took out money from my purse and gave it to the man and was about to go when he came forward.

"Didn't you listen that I said I'm paying" he said a bit irritated.

"Mahir. Friends since just 20 minutes  and No trust so I don't think it is right to eat from your money. I can pay mine." I said calmly while he didn't say anything.

"Bye" I  mumbled and went away without waiting for him to say anything.

'I don't trust anyone'. His words were ringing my ears.

I don't know but I was feeling so bad. So much bad. Why???

 Why am I feeling this much bad  and here a tear escaped my eye.

Why the hell am I crying now.

I wiped that single tear and went inside Mahir's sister room to check on her.
