"Anav you need to stop working this hard. You would get ill", His mother told him as he sighed. She closed his laptop and forced him to get in bed. She was very strict about her children's sleep. She was very concerned about Anav these days. He was working more than he should.

"Why don't you take your father's help?", She offered him as she forced him to lie on the bed.

"He knows nothing about coding. And I don't want to be dependant on him. If I wouldn't have been born into a well-to-do family then also I would've been doing hard work na Mumma? So why are you worrying", He asked her as he rested his head in her lap.

"Don't stress yourself, baby. You would get sick. Your father is also very concerned about your health", She told him caressing his hair as he started falling asleep. She sighed making him sleep properly on the bed and covered him with the comforter.

She made her way out of his room after switching off the lights. She gave a last look to him before moving towards her room after shutting the door.

"How is he now?", Rehan asked him closing his file.

"He is stressing himself, Rehan Ji. I am very concerned about him. He is only 21. He should live his life not stress himself like this. It is easier for Adhi as he got your settled business but Anav has to start from dust", She told him as he sighed.

"Precious, he is not ready to take help from me as well", He told her as she nodded making a sad face.

"You talk to him na. He would never deny to you", She told him as he looked at her for a minute before looking out.

"I don't want to come between his carrier, love just because he respects my decision", He told her as she sighed combing her hair.

"They rejected his project idea again", She told him.

"They are taking revenge on me for rejecting their idea years ago", He gritted his teeth.

"You need to take the charge Anav Ji. He is having the potential but there are too many enemies around our kids Ji, we can't leave him alone", She told him looking at him from the mirror. He nodded looking outside.

"They need to know with whom they are messing with but for that, we need to distract Anav. If he came to know about this he would never talk to us again", He told her to which she nodded.

"Why not send him in the opening of the new hotel instead of Adhi", She asked him to which he thought for a while and then nodded.

"Sure. It's not like he knows nothing about work. He had been accompanying me to work for years", He said as she nodded.

"So it is decided he is taking a break", Rehan said finally as Aayat smiled gratefully at him.

"He is my son as well. Don't give me that look", Rehan told her as she smiled.

"You are going and that is final. Adhi is busy these days", Rehan told him.

"Why don't you go there then", Anav reasoned out.

"You want your old father to go there ha? What kind of son you are?", He asked standing up from his place.

"You are not old when you are romancing with Mumma", He murmured to himself.

"I couldn't hear you. Say it again", Rehan asked him looking suspiciously at him.

"Papa I am facing a huge loss in the business at the moment. It needs me", Anav asked him trying his luck again.

"If you would leave for few days, it won't go downhill. It is in loss na than nothing worse can happen. But chances are when you are on a break, you will get new ideas", Rehan told him as Anav thought for a while before agreeing.

"Fine, I'll go but only because you insisted", Anav told him as Rehan glared at him.

"Ordered. I am your father, not your employee. Insisted", Rehan mimicked him as Anav rolled his eyes.

"I have to pack my bags", Anav told him.

"I have already done that. You go now", His mother told him having a big smile on her face.

"It seems like you want to throw me out so you can romance", Anav said looking between his mother and father as his mother gasped.

"What are you saying Anav?", She asked him while glaring at him. He gave her a huge smile before walking away waving his hand.

"Bye-bye", He said moving towards the exit as his bags were already placed in the car.

He was driving his car towards his destination when a little girl came in front of his car clad in school uniform.

He stopped the car immediately. Thank god he was wearing seat belt otherwise something wrong could've happened to him.

He went outside to shout at her. She was looking down her face was partially hidden because of her long hair tightly tied in a braid.

"Can't you see where are you going or you are blind", He shouted at her as she flinched taking few steps back wiping her tears.

"Nerdy almost met an accident", He heard a boy in a group of teenagers speaking as she sniffed lightly holding her bag close to her chest before looking up and glaring at them.

"We are out of the school building. Do you want to fight? Fine, let's fight. You think I am scared of you. I was just abiding by school rules otherwise I would've slapped right on your face", She said turning her back to him to the boy who called her nerdy.

"This girl is mad", He said as everybody laughed.

"When I already got the place of a mad girl let's show how a mad girl behaves", She told him taking few steps towards him as he took few steps back.

"Don't you dare think I would take every wrong action towards me. Everything is having a limit. What did you say I wanted to sit behind him because I have a crush on him. Why don't you talk about yourself? You know me more than myself and what it has to do with you. I could have a crush on anyone. You can't stop me. I live in a democratic country and could do whatever I want", She told a girl a couple of inches smaller than her whose hair was in a loose pony. Nobody spoke anything. It was like a queen was speaking and everybody else was hearing her.

"And you mister. If I am a nerd then it means I am intelligent and you are jealous of my intelligence. Stop acting like a small kid and try to compete with me like a man not like a little baby. It won't really affect me whatever you say. If you keep hitting on a rock, It starts making sparks as well and I am a human for god sake. But I trust my Kanha, He won't leave you all and this is coming straight from my heart. If you would be the reason for my tears today, you would really pay for it one day. Keep that thing in your mind", She told them.

"See she started preaching us about Mahabharta. Why don't you go in that time phase only? You are not suitable for the modern world", The same girl said as the girl who gained Anav's attention smiled taking away his breathing.

"If reading my culture's holy books makes me not suitable for this so-called modern world then I don't want to be a part of it as well. And yes if I could I would have definitely gone into that world", She told them swinging her bag on her shoulder.

"And don't you dare comment on me again. Because if I started speaking you won't be able to show your face to anyone as then everything would go dirty from both sides. I don't care about my reputation in this school but you, a group of stupids does care about it very much. So keep that thing in your mind", She spoke as her gold hoop earrings moved with her movements. She turned around and walked towards him without looking up at him. 

"I am sorry for wasting your time. I didn't mean to come in front of your car. I hope you could forgive me", She said in a soft voice much different from what she was using with her and walked away without saying anything. 

Doesn't she stay in sunlight? Why is her skin so pale? the first thing which crossed his mind was this as she walked away their shoulders touch for a millisecond as he felt a sudden warmth covering his body.

"Oh mental. The car is there", A young boy maybe some years older than him shouted running behind her pulling her bag as she whined.

"You stupid children. Don't you dare tease my little sister. I am in police", He warned them pushing him or more like kicking her as she glared at him slapping his back.

"I can take care of myself, Kunal", She shouted at him. He slapped her back making her whine.

"I can see it as well Roshni", He told her pushing her inside the car.

"Sorry from her side, bro. She loose her mind when she is angry", He told Anav as Anav looked around not knowing what to do at the moment.

"She had really lost her mind", A girl said from the group as Anav glared at her.

"Ragging is a crime", He said in a cold voice as she looked at him with shock evident on her face. He went inside his car thinking about the girl. She was really something.

"Roshni!", He whispered as a lazy smile covered his lips thinking about her weird ways.

A sudden thought of knowing her more crossed his mind. But he is not even knowing her name.

He saw a girl probably of her age coming out. Roshni shouted something from the car as she waved at the new girl who smiled brightly at her.

"Found it", He smiled.

"Excuse me", He called the girl as she pointed to herself. He nodded.

"Are you Anav Khurana?", She asked as he nodded.

"Wait a minute I will call Roshni. She is a really big fan of yours. She has eaten my brain talking about your achievements. You are her only inspiration", She ranted out but the car was already gone.

"She missed the chance", The girl whispered.

"Roshni?", He asked trying to act as if he doesn't know her.

"Roshni Tomar. The topper of our class. Some people say she is having a crush on you", She whispered as if it's the biggest secret in the world.

"Oh she must be really famous", He asked her acting obvious.

"Oh, definitely not. She has an Instagram id but nobody knows about it", She told him as he nodded to himself.

"By the way, I need to go. Bye, it would have been better if she would have met her. But take care of her anger. Ignore it why would you take care of her anger? I mean you are not her husband and she is not into boyfriend thing", She said as she left blabbering something to herself.

"Does Roshni speak this much as well?", He asked himself.

"Roshni Tomar? Instagram", He wondered as he immediately started driving with a silly smile forgetting everything about his stress.

His mind was busy thinking about the cute little girl. Not little though. She was taller than her school mates, a couple of inches smaller than him. Perfect height.

Stop thinking about him Anav. You are a busy man.

"But I can at least watch her picture", He thought as he ran inside the office without caring about the employees.

Forgot to take the keys. He thought as he came back and immediately left after taking the keys.

He sat on the couch opening Instagram. It seemed like years he had signed it. He thought he forgot the password but thankfully he didn't.

He searched for Roshni Tomar and started searching for his Roshni.

Your Roshni seriously Anav. She is a little child. Don't you feel disgusted by feeling like this for a schoolgirl? His mind told him as he nodded to himself still continuing his search for her.

He saw the picture he was searching for a long time and immediately clicked on it.

There was a comment below it that caught his attention.

"I told you thousands of times to not add pictures Roshni. Delete it", Some Kunal commented.

"I am not a baby, Kunal Bhai. If you didn't stop doing this I will complain Mami", She commented back as he smiled. So he is her brother. That means he is a protective brother. Very nice. He smiled looking at her picture. 

"Time to work", He whispered not wanting to keep the phone aside.

"I am just looking not doing anything. I didn't even like her picture. There are zero followers that means She is not popular. Good girl", He whispered to himself throwing his phone on the bed.

Well this is the starting.

Fun fact my brother really calls me mental at times.

I know not up-to the mark but this is it. The story will go in flashback time to time so you can know about their past to know their present better. I already told you Anav's behavior towards Roshni had a story behind it.

Tell me what do you think. Is Anav a stalker? Or you find him cute.

If you find him cute than I must remind you if he won't have been the lead of the story you would have called him a creep. 😅😅

Also Anav's success is all because of his hard work. I just wanted to mention it. This makes his ego high. He never wants anyone's help in life.

Till next time...
