Menaka, as the name suggests is a real beauty pageant. She has lot of male followers wherever she go. Menaka works as a recruiting HR in the same IT firm as Vishwa. 

Earlier she was working for the same firm in Bangalore. But now she has got transferred to Chennai and today is her first day in the new office. 

As it was first day in the Chennai branch, she had some entry formalities to be completed. Immediately she had an urgent meeting to attend for back to back in the conference room. 

Only during Lunch, she got herself little free. Menaka went to her new cabin  to meet her new team mates. 

Her Manager has already introduced her to the team during the earlier meetings. Needless to say, the guys in the bay never failed to steal glances at her often. 

Being a recruiting HR it is crucial for her to dress nicely and modestly with light makeup. 

Her thick dense  U cut hair, light shade of lipstick ,small earning, well fitted work outfit with blazer, medium heels all those amped up her style.

Her name Menaka definitely suits her the most and best. Just like Vishwa, Menaka too is aware of all the eyes on her, wherever she goes.

But she loves to enjoy those glances and antics the others do to impress her. 

Even if anyone approaches her in the name of date or love, she politely declines them with smiling face, yet a confident answer. 

It was lunch time, and she went to the cafeteria to have her lunch. Securing a table after ordering the food, the girls started discussing about work and things in General.

Slowly the topic shifted to Vishwa. One of the girl in her team, was searching for someone.

"whom are you searching for?" asked Menaka.

"Mr. Rude Handsome"

"What??"

"yep, there is a guy here who is breathtakingly hot and handsome. As much as we love his looks, he is a devil when it comes to work.

His team members hate him to the core in terms of work but other than that, he is .... simply..... ssss. superb ....wow..."

" you know, what, the lucky girl who happened to interview him was me. He joined like 2 months  before" spoke a girl proudly.

The girls went on and on about describing the characteristics and features of Vishwa.

"Ok girls... why this much build up for that guy? And by the way you people talk about him, he must definitely have a girlfriend or lover. So just loosen a bit"

Girl1 : "girlfriend?? that  guy ?? uff.. definitely not"

Menaka : "oh.. why do you have so much confidence on that? How did you come to that conclusion?" asked Menaka with curiosity on this mysterious guy.

Girl 1: "he is not of romantic type. And if at all for some reason, he accepts a girlfriend, that girl will break up with him the immediate next day for his strict and ruthless demeanor"

Girl 2: "he does not have any mercy for girls. We have happened to overhear the convo of girls from his team in washroom.

He has his way of teaching lessons for the girls who try to flirt with him it seems"

While there were boasting and roasting him, Vishwa was seen near one of the counter waiting to order food. The girls looked at him in awe from far away  with their open mouth. 

The girls too received their order and started eating.

"so is he the guy you all were talking about?" Menaka questioned looking at the girls who were silently eating , while their eyes were fixated on the guy near the food counter. 

"yes... he is... Vishwa. Vishwamithran...uff... " replied a girl who still was looking at him.

Menaka too darted her eyes to where the girls are , and saw Vishwa. Today he was dressed in black pant and white formal shirt and looked dapper as ever.

"wow...his name sounds so hot just like him. Sooooo.. manly and sexy he is " adduced Menaka , whose eyes are also now glued on to Vishwa just like others.

"ohh... madam, don't try to raise hopes on him. Red alert. He will not bend for you"

"ahhannn... let me see. I have seen so many guys like him. I can definitely make him revolve around me" Menaka replied with full confidence.

The girls immediately looked at Menaka. She is indeed serious in her tone. 

"are you joking?" one of the girl whisper shouted.

"nope.. definitely not. And who am I? Menaka.. Menaka is the one who seduces Vishwamithran . Had you not heard the story ?"

"There are many guys who  gawk at me. Including married men.  When guys can do such things, why can't I also play, just for time pass. "

Menaka saw Vishwa striding towards a table which had 2 others present. Those two seemed to have already finished their lunch and were winding up.

Menaka quickly lifted her plate and went near Vishwa.

The girls did not take it seriously as they have seen many girls give this kind of lengthy dialogues with confidence.

Later they too would join their band in cursing Vishwa after his cold treatment.

Menaka went near Vishwa with her plate.

"Excuse me?" Menaka started with her beautiful voice.

Vishwa lifted his head and looked at her. He felt like his eyes were lucky today to be blessed with the form of this beautiful creature in front of him.

He happened to hear some of the guys talking about a new gorgeous girl in their bay. 

But he was too busy to look at who it is. Even if he sees he would not consider it as a big thing and would go with his work.

But the girl in front of him, really captivated him without doing anything. Just her looks.

"Can I sit here Mr...?" She dragged, with a voice which sounded like trying to seduce him. 

Vishwa instantly understood she was doing some play and decided to play along with her. Full truth to be told, he too was mesmerized by her beauty. 

"Sure. Miss.." he stressed the word Miss.

She kept the food plate on the table and sat opposite to him. Stretching her hands for handshake, she introduced herself. "I am Menaka"

Vishwa too stretched his hand, saying his name and caught her whitish soft palms under his long hard palm.

Their handshake lasted for more than enough time along with throwing glances at each other. 

While they were immersed in their thoughts, the girls whomever know him, were only looking at the pair. Surprised to see Vishwa talking with all smiles. 

He rolled his tongue inside his mouth with a smirk on his face. " lets get started.."  Menaka stated and withdrew her hands.

"Start what??" Vishwa queried with mischievous grin.

Clearly there was a double meaning hidden there which Menaka quickly understood. For a second, she felt shock at his choice of words.

Still she tried to act as if she did not think anything naughty.

"what else? Its food. What did you think I was talking about?" she shot back in a teasing manner.

"smart move" he answered and took a spoon full of food and started to eat.

There was some undeniable intense attraction competition going on between the two. But both were kind of refraining from admitting it. 

Menaka took the food in a spoon and brought it near her lips. She chewed the food and moaned in a sensual manner as in the canteen food tasted so good and delicious. 

Needless to say Vishwa understood her teasing. " Do you want to eat my banana? I will eat your apple, if you don't mind" he questioned her casually in low voice.

Menaka choked her throat hearing what he said. She looked at him with horror.

"I meant, this banana. I got banana for my meals. Whereas you have got apple" he cleared his statement showing the banana.

"ohh.. ok..ok.. hmm.. ya yep fine"  Menaka was stuttering suddenly. Her dirty mind thought something really bad and she did not want to showcase it to him.

But whom is she trying to fool? Vishwa already guessed what she thought from her reaction. In fact, he purposefully spoke that way for her to catch the same thought as he wanted her to.

"looks like you thought something really bad to be told out" he teased.

"ohh.. please.. if you are talking about normal banana , why do you want to say that in husky voice. Which means you too had some bad intention behind your words"

Vishwa and Menaka were seen talking till the lunch got over. Actually flirting with each other. Whoever knows Vishwa, were looking at them with shock.

Vishwa never spoke this much or seen laughing with girls . But today things were different. They did not know what made him or what did Menaka do to impress him.

Menaka too, on the other hand did not leave Vishwa lightly. Whenever she got a chance, she was brushing her legs or arms with him while walking or sitting. 

Vishwa pretended it was nothing and did not happen at all. Every time, she was addressing him as "Mr. Vishwamithran" in a seductive way.

Her double meaning talks did not go unnoticed by him. Vishwa for once got a slight hint of what Menaka is up to. But he enjoyed this and decided to play along with her.
