3: Assistant Manager?

Ayesha's POV,

"A-A-Armaan?" I couldn't believe my eyes. Was this another of those dreams? I couldn't even move a muscle.

"A fan? But why is she here?" He asked his mother. She explained him the whole situation.

"Are you serious? 3 days?!" His voice got high with shock which brought me back from my trance. He looked back at me as to how like an idiot I was gapping at him. He smiled akwardly at me.

"Did you..... really wait for me for 3 straight days?"

I lost my voice to speak and just nodded.

"Whoa!" He said gapping back it me. He looked at me from up to down. I was embarrassed to realise how I must be looking right now what kind of first impressions I'd been setting. But I just couldn't look away from him. My heart was about to explode.

I was feeling dizzy again and was about to collapse but a set of strong arms held me. I first thought it's Armaan but he was right in front of me. But then I heard a familiar voice.

"Whoa! Whoa! Careful!"

I looked back blinking trying to clear my vision and OMG it was Amaal Malik! My eyes popped out again.

"What's going on?" He asked.

"This Fangirl was waiting outside our house for 3 days just to meet me." Armaan said.

"3 days?! Are you kidding me?" Amaal said looking at me.

"Nope." Armaan said.

"Are you that crazy for him?"

"Huh? Um." I started blushing like crazy.

"Ok. So you saw me, now what?" Armaan said not harshly.

I blinked at him. 'Now what? Should I leave? But I haven't told him how I feel. How should I even start? They are all still looking at me. It's soo nerve racking. I'm usually soo confident what's wrong with me now?'

"Did you atleast eat properly?" Amaal asked.

Then I remembered how hungry I was. I had forgotten all about it. I shook my head.

"Thought so. Let's eat something then talk ok?" He said gently.

I nodded.

😋😋😋

The simple bread and salad were like the food from heaven for me. I started devouring what came in front of me like a maniac. I didn't care who saw me or thought about me at that moment.

Sadly, I realised it a long while later that the man I was here to impress was sitting right in front of me across the table gapping at me like I was some animal escaped from the zoo.

Armaan's POV,

I couldn't believe when I first saw that girl. She'd been waiting to meet me for 3 days? And she slept in the watchman's quarter. That idiot. How could he let her stay like that?

We need to get rid of her before the media or anyone else finds out about this. I don't want this incidence to encourage other fan girls to come and line up outside my house like that. It's stressful.

I watched her surprised as to how a girl or even any human can eat soo fast. Well, she'd been starving for 3 days or so I guess. And why did Mom even take her in? Amaal Bhai is giving me mocking looks. I rolled my eyes.

'After she's done, I'll just paste a smile on my face, talk to her a little. Some selfie's, autograph and bye bye fan girl.' I smiled.

"Do you need to take a shower?" Mom said. I looked at her surprised. Why is Mom encouraging her like this. She's a psychopath for God sake!

"Uh.... I don't have clothes to change." The girl said meekly.

"Don't worry I'll arrange some for you. The maid will lead you to the guest room. You don't want to look this shabby in front of your crush right?" Mom said all smiling.

"Uh...is it really ok?"

"Ofcourse."

"Ok. Thankyou ma'am." She said and was ushered to the guest room.

I walked to Mom.

"Mom what are you doing?"

"What?" She said as if she didn't know.

"Why are you soo good to her? She's a crazy fan girl. What if she's here to hurt someone?" I said heatedly.

"Calm down Armaan. She seems from a good family."

"Soo?"

"So we need to help her. She's a girl who's all alone. Look how much she loves you. Be good to her ok?" Mom carrased my face.

"Yeah right! Love." I said sarcastically.

"She isn't that bad Armaan." Bhai winked at me.

"Don't start it bhai." I warned him and he threw both his hands in the air defensively.

After half an hour or so she came back. Now she looked decent. But I got to admit she's pretty with nice hair and quite impressive figure. She looked at me innocently.

I smiled. "Hi."

"H-Hi" she stammered all shy and fidgeting and with a goofy grin on her face.

"I didn't catch your name."

"A-Ayesha Farooqi." She said.

"Nice name. Come sit. Let's talk ok?"

She nodded.

"So tell me about yourself Ayesha."

She was grinning goofily again. I'm used to fan girl behaviour but... Meeting a fan like this is weird.

"I'm from Kharghar. And I fell in love with you since I saw you in the Kapil Sharma show when you were a guest on it for the first time. I love your voice, it's like it speaks to me and I get lost in it...." She started babbling. Like I haven't heard all that before. She's just another fan.

"That's soo sweet thankyou." I said.

"So what do you do Ayesha?"

"I'm a CA. My results were just declared 4 days ago and I passed in first attempt." She said blushing.

I watched her surprised. "Wow! 1st attempt CA. Congratulations."

Ok now I'm impressed. She looks smart but I never expected this smart.

We talked a little more and it time for my next schedule. 'Time to say goodbye Fangirl.'

"Did you contact your family. Do you have a phone?" I asked her.

"I do have a phone but I didn't contact them because I know they'd get mad at me."

"You ran away. Ofcourse they'd get mad. You should head home now." I said getting up.

She got up too. "Are you leaving?" She said with a sad expression.

"I have an interview to go to. Do you want to take pictures?" I asked.

She frowned. "I'm not some other fan girl Armaan. I really love you." She said almost about to cry.

Should I be scared right now?

I subtly gestured my bodyguard to come and stand beside me. He did thank God.

"I don't want pictures. I just wanted memories. Which I made thankyou. I got to meet you, talk to you. I guess that was something too much then I expected." She said and brought her hand forward.

"Thank you for making my dream come true."

I took her hand and just for a split second I felt something unusual. She smiled at me soo sweetly I felt a shockwave travel through me. I cleared my throat taking my hand back. "Your welcome." I said looking anywhere but at her.

My manager came towards me with his usual tensed face with some papers. I rolled my eyes.

"Sir, there's something unusual in here. The payment you were going to receive for your last song it seems.... less... I guess. I called the producer a couple times but he says it's all correct."

As I took a look I too found something peculiar.

"Hmm. Your right." I said.

"Why don't you get it checked with a CA?" Bhai said walking towards us. Then he turned to the Fangirl snapping his fingers as he got an idea.

"Hey, aren't you a CA you said? Why don't you have a look at it?"

"Me?"

"Her?" I said shooting him a look.

"Yeah sure. It'll be such a bother to go to a CA at this point. We already have a CA right here. Why not get it for free? But if you want a fees we can give you ofcourse." Bhai said.

"Oh no. That's not necessary. I'll do it for free." She smiled and took the papers which why manager gave her happily now that we didn't had to spend extra money. She went through the papers quite seriously.

"Ah so that's the problem." She said

"What is?" My manager and Amaal bhai both said in unison peeping at the papers.

She started explaining as if she's been doing this for years. I know both of them couldn't understand a thing yet they were just nodding.

".....so the producer needs to increase the payment amount by 19.6%." She concluded.

"Wow.... Your great. But how much will that be?" Bhai said.

"Wait a min sir let me get my calcu-"

"1,66,000" she said quickly.

We all just gapped at her. She's fast.

"Ok....then if we add it then the amount would be...."

"10,16,600" she said.

"Wow...your a walking calculator miss?" Manager said.

"Ayesha Farooqi and thankyou."

"Hey Ayesha do you have a job?" Bhai asked.

"No. I was just a student by now. I'll look for a job soon." She answered.

"Perfect. So for starters why don't you work for us. Especially for Armaan if you want. As an assistant manager. We could really need a help of a CA. Then when you become a professional CA maybe we can be your clients. What's say?" Bhai said.

"Wait...what?!" I yelled. 'What the hell is going on!'

"Assistant manager?" She said shocked and looked at everyone's faces.

I turned to bhai.

"Bhai a min?"

"Not now." He brushed me off. I huffed.

"Um....ok." she giggled excepting the offer. I slapped my forehead.

'Great! Now I have to deal with this psycho Fangirl everyday. Can it get any worst?!'
