A/n pov:

At police station| Harsh Cabin:

Harsh was going through the files while veer was briefing him about a person

Veer: Samar Raut is constantly involving in illegal business. We have warned him so many times but he is taking advantage of being in politics

Harsh: he is both businessman and politician..he have double support from both the industries. I hate his gut so much.. the way he is importing drugs and weapon without any fear and we are unable to do anything against him is just pissing me off...

Veer: right sir, proof against him is not strong.

Harsh: hmm but I'll also see for how long he is going to save himself..one day I'll surely arrest him

Veer: yeah...anyways sir it's 12AM already..you should go back to home.

Harsh: don't worry you go first..I'll stay here for some more time

Veer: as you wish sir.. jai hind

Harsh nodded and veer left the place

Time skips~
Around 2AM:

Harsh came to his villa while parking his car. He went inside to find silence as usual.

He was going to his room when suddenly he saw hall balcony opened.

Harsh: who left it open now?

He went towards the balcony to closed the door to find someone sleeping on sofa.

Harsh went near more to see it was pia.

Harsh's thought: what was she doing at here late night..in cold breeze

Suddenly pia muttered something..

Pia: m..o...m..mom...

Harsh looked at her with confusion and leaned towards her to get what she is muttering..and finally he understood

Harsh's thought: so she is missing her mother....

He went more close to her and stared at her face..

Harsh: you looks beautiful while sleeping too..*smile*

He raised her head slightly while sliding his both arms around her waist and held her in bridal style.

Harsh: let's get you to your room

And with that he came inside her room and placed her on bed. He pulled up the sheets while covering her nicely and left that place.

Next day:

She woke up while yawning and looked around her surroundings

Pia: wait why I am here.. wasn't sleeping in balcony... anyways I should get ready, I have to talk about getting admission into university with harsh Ji...

Time skips~

Pia came downstairs and went towards dinning hall to greet by kamla

Kamla: morning pia

Pia: morning kamla maa

Kamla: sit down...I'll arrange your breakfast

Pia nodded and sat at one of the chairs while Harsh was going through his phone

Pia looked at him and asked

Pia: harsh ji..

Harsh: hmm

He said without looking towards her

Pia: harsh ji I want to join university..

Harsh: okay sure..where do you want to study

Pia: Mumbai university..

Harsh: ohh but won't you face problem while getting admission ? since you don't have documents with you rn..

Pia: yeah..that thing is too

Harsh: don't worry I'll help you out in getting admission...I'll get in touch with principal to allow you to study..
And about documents I'll ask someone to get for you from Delhi

Pia: thank you so much for doing all these things for me...words can't describe how much I'm grateful of you

Harsh: no worries pia..that's the least I can do for you...I genuinely want you to continue your studies..

Pia: thank you for your well wishes...

Time skips~

Pia and harsh reached the university and both got out from car

Harsh: let's go

Pia nodded and both entered inside

Time skips~

Harsh convinced principal easily and he got ready to accept the admission of pia in the university...

After talking with principal harsh left pia to do rest of the works since she insisted that she will manage

finishing all the process she was coming out of Block when she collided with someone..

Pia: I'm sorry..I wasn't looking

???: No no it's fine.. I wasn't paying attention myself so it's ok

Pia: still I was lost in my own thoughts too..

???: As I said It's alright btw...I never saw you before here..are you new?

Pia: oh yes I'll be joining from tomorrow...my name is pia

???: Seema tyagi

She said while extending her hand and pia did handshake with her

Pia: hi Seema..

Seema: glad to meet you

Pia: likewise

Seema: ohhh I'm getting late for my class...see you tomorrow girl..

Pia: okay

Seema: bye bye

Pia: bye

And with that Seema left that place and pia too walked away from there

Time skips~

Pia was returning villa while humming when her gaze went to bangle shop.

Pia: bangles...my love

She immediately went inside the shop
And looked around with shining eyes

Thousands of colorful bangles were hanging and pia was going through each and every design

Pia: wow...there are so much variety..

Her gaze stopped at one of the bangles and she spoke

Pia: bhaiya that pink one costs how much?

Shopkeeper: 100 per dozen

Pia: no way...that's too expensive..make it 70

Shopkeeper: no no I'll be at loss

Pia: bhaiya please give discount..I came here for first time and will come more if you will give discount..see you have lots of variety..70 please...

Shopkeeper: 90 final

Pia: 80?... please.... please...*puppy eyes* *pout*

Shopkeeper: oh god stop making that cute face... children now days had owned a new way to bargain..

She giggled like a child without knowing someone watched her each and every action silently

Pia: thank you bhaiya!! You are best

The shopkeeper nodded and She walked past behind that person leaving that place without noticing that person who continued watching her disappearing figure
