The Key To Love
Life is full of chances and opportunities. It depends on you, how you look at it and use the chances. Life is a maze, they say; you have to keep moving forward to reach destinations and achieve the goals you have set for yourself. However, life becomes easy when you have your loved ones beside you. Well, with loved ones, it's not only about a boyfriend or girlfriend or about husband and wife, but it’s about family as well. When love and life are in sync, life becomes easy to decipher.
In the beautiful city of Mumbai, everything is fast-paced. You need to be quick if you want to walk ahead in the crowd. It’s home to all dreamers who come here to turn their dreams into reality. Vivaan Jain, an enigmatic businessman, believes equally in love and life.
It’s a very hectic day in the office of V.J Enterprises. The company is an amalgamation of technology and fashion and is named after its founder and CEO, Vivaan Jain. He’s a tech buff, while the fashion department is handled by the person he trusts the most. Vivaan is busy in a meeting with a client inside his office. A young girl, in her mid-twenties, is walking towards the CEO's cabin. She’s greeted by everyone in the office, and she replies with a warm smile. That’s how she is, always kind and welcoming to the people around her. She opens the door and peeps inside, only to get a glance of her beloved.
“Vivs!”
“Oops! I am sorry, I will come later,” she says as she finds him talking with two other people.
“Wait, we are done!” Vivaan responds.
She looks at him with uncertainty in her eyes. She enters the cabin and watches as he concludes the meeting with the client, and then they seal the deal. There’s genuine happiness on his face, and after shaking hands with him, the two men leave the cabin, and Vivaan’s manager follows them to see them off. However, all this while, she has been unaware of this deal. Before she could voice her concern, he stands near her, settling the loop of her hair behind her ear. Her heart begins to pound against her chest.
"Vivaan, what are you doing? We are in the office," she reminds him, her breaths heavy with his mere touch.
“Yeah, and secure too. Don’t worry,” he responds, leaning onto her shoulder, inhaling her fragrance.
He settles another loop of hair behind her ear and pecks a kiss on her head. He doesn’t like any hindrance in the view of her pretty face; she’s his lady love, after all. His fingertips are now tickling her, so she pushes his hand away and glares at him.
“Vivs!”
“I said, stop, Vivs! You’re tickling me, and anybody can come here, you know.”
"I love to hear this short form of my name from you," he responds dreamily.
“Fine, but you’re supposed to answer me, Vivs. Who were the clients?” she demands an answer.
"They are some fashion business investors. They want to invest with us," he informs.
“Why didn't I know it?" she asks, rolling her eyes at him.
Vivaan looks at her pretty face and laughs at her annoyance. He kisses her forehead; the kiss is as light as a feather, and her lips curve into a smile.
"I didn't want to disturb you, love. I was a mess last week. You had a hard time with me, right?" he asks, knowing that she had a hard time with him.
"No, Vivaan. I am glad I could help you. And then, if you hadn't created all that mess, how'd I know the depth of your love for me? After all, I love you," she says, pecking his lips lightly.
Vivaan smiles. This girl has been his sole support for four years. She's leading his fashion team. He’s just an employee of V.J Enterprises for everyone, but she’s his boss too. She’s Ruhana Singhania. They’ve been to the same college and from college mates to friends, and now, they’re lovers, committed to each other. They are very much in love. She manages him in a way that no one else can. Vivaan smiles to see her smiling. This girl deserves all his love, he knows.
"Oh! Mr. CEO, come back to earth. We have got another meeting lined up. We need to go to the hotel…" she was saying, but he shushes her with a peck on her lips.
"Let's go, Ruhana," he says.
"Vivaan, work first!" she says sternly.
"We will crack the deal, Ruhana. Don't worry. Come with me, please, love," he says, his tone soft and pleading.
She gives up. She knows there's no point in arguing with this man. She follows him, and Vivaan drives off. Ruhana tries asking him about their destination, but he doesn’t reply. Within thirty minutes, they reach their destination, and he blindfolds her before taking her out of the car. She’s confused, but she knows he won’t tell her; he will show her. As he removes her blindfold, she’s stunned to see the sight before her. It’s a grand hotel, Hotel Royal Inn. Ruhana is confused at the moment; she reminds him of the meeting, but he just smiles.
Vivaan smiles. It seems like he's prepared for the questions that Ruhana has in her mind. He extends his hand towards her, she looks at him, her eyes seeking assurance. As they enter the hotel, the watchman salutes them. They smile at him, and as they enter through the door, flowers drop over them. Ruhana is surprised. She twirls around trying to catch the rose petals, while he watches her with a smile. He then glances at another young man, who approaches him with a file. Vivaan takes the file from his hand and hands it to Ruhana. She is confused by the happenings. She looks at Vivaan, who leans towards her.
"This file has all the answers you need," he whispers in her ear.
Ruhana chuckles as his breath tickles her ear. She opens the file and reads the papers. She is surprised and glances at him, seeking confirmation.
“Ye mera hai? You mean this belongs to me?” Ruhana asks.
“Yes, my love, this is all for you. You’re the boss here!” Vivaan responds, assuring her.
Ruhana glances at him, and the reality dawns upon her. Her eyes turn watery instantly. This hotel, Royal Inn, holds a special place in her life. But, as they say, destiny plays games, and her bad days began. She was thrown out of her own property after her dad's untimely death. Her step-mom claimed everything for her son and abandoned Ruhana. Ruhana was hurt badly but decided to get everything she desired on her own. She joined Vivaan's company and was selected instantly. It's been three years since she started working with Vivaan, and it's been two years since they became a couple. Today, he has already turned her dream into reality. Her reverie is broken by Vivaan's voice. She looks up at him and smiles tearily.
"How did you do this, Vivs?" she asks.
"I can do anything for the lady I love. This is a very small gesture compared to what you do," Vivaan says.
Ruhana smiles. Vivaan explains to her that the meeting she reminded him of is the same as this hotel. The owners, her brother, wanted to sell this hotel, and Vivaan purchased it. It's a big deal since the owners claimed they suffered a loss. Vivaan is different; he knows how to convert loss into profit.
"I know how important this hotel is in your life, my love. How could I let it go? I got it. We will get it renewed and relaunch it. How's the idea?" he asks, raising his eyebrows at Ruhana.
Ruhana is touched. She doesn't know what to say. This man has touched her heart today. He returned to her the treasure of her life. She can't help but feel as if she's the richest person in the world. She has Vivaan by her side and now this hotel, which belonged to her late father. She looks at Vivaan and hugs him tightly. He wraps his arms around her, and tears escape her eyes. Happy tears! He has done so much for her.
"Thanks, Vivs! I don't know how to thank you. I wanted to do all of it on my own. But, you did it for me. I owe it to you," she says as she parts from the hug and looks at him.
He smiles at her, wipes her tears, and pecks a kiss on her forehead.
"You've done it all, Ruu. You love me. And this is my duty to you. You should not cry; instead, we should plan a new launch. Shouldn't we?" he says, trying to cheer her up.
Ruhana smiles at his antics and he embraces her in his arms.
"I will redecorate it myself. What do you think, Vivs?" she asks, tilting her face towards him.
"That will be the best. I'll pay you for that, designer madam," he says jokingly.
Ruhana glares at him and lightly slaps his cheek.
"Shut up! And yeah! You'll only pay for everything. It's your wish, either on me or for me," she winks at him.
Vivaan laughs at her words. He further adds that they will start the renovation process next month. Ruhana agrees as she adores the place. She's here after a long three years. It seems like she wants to begin and end everything in one single day. She looks at Vivaan, who's talking to the man who gave her the file. After a little while, he leaves, and Vivaan walks towards her.
"Shall we leave?" he asks.
He knows she wants to stay a little longer, but they have an office to handle. Ruhana smiles at him and thanks him one more time.
"I just can't wait to get this relaunched," Ruhana says cheerfully.
Vivaan smiles. He settles a loop of hair behind her ears. He looks at her gorgeous face intently. He can do anything to make her smile. He knows this happiness is genuine. He might have a rude and arrogant aura on the outside, but he is soft-hearted inside. This girl has touched his heart. She resides in his heart, and now, he cannot do anything without her. So, making her happy is his duty. He kisses her head softly. She smiles looking at him.
"We will be launching our new hotel soon, my love," he says and she holds his hands in hers.
"It's possible only because of you, Vivs. I love you for this," she says.
"Oh! You love me only for the things I do?" he asks innocently, causing her to laugh.
"Oh god! You're so cute, Vivs. Well, do I need to tell you how much I love you every day?" she asks, her tone playful and filled with affection.
"Of course, this poor soul needs some love only," he says innocently, and it only makes her laugh harder.
"Okay! I've got a surprise for you," she winks at him.
"Care to explain? What's it about?" Vivaan asks.
Ruhana rolls her eyes at him and denies telling. He asks her again. She glares at him. When she asked, he didn't tell her, and now he wants her to reveal the surprise. Vivaan holds her wrist, but she slaps his wrist lightly.
"Hey! Keep waiting. I'll reveal the surprise at night. Now, let's go. We have a lot of work to do," she says and drags him out of the hotel.
Vivaan pouts, but Ruhana drags him, and they drive towards their office. Everything seems fine today.
