" Anjaan tha yeh ishq
Dil mai liya iss chaahat ko
Tadap rha hai yeh dil
Pehchhan lijiye iss ishq ko
Apna lijiye humae zara. "

Shiv krishn Ranawat

7 in the evening, and here I am immersed in my work as usual. Contract documents need to be signed ASAP. And I trust no one.

Sipping the coffee, I turned to glance around the monitor. My employees seemed to be working efficiently. My PA entered my cabin with a knock.

"Sir, mam gave a call. She wants you to give her a call back asap. "

I gave a curt nod, dismissing him. As he headed out, I checked my mobile to see 5 missed calls from my mother.

"Khamma gani, Maa sa."

"Ghani khamma, beta ji. Lagtha hai aapko belan se pitna padega."

" par kyun Maa sa."

"Beta ji, ajj get together tha na. Bhul gye aap. Aur Kitna kaam karoge. Ayyiye Ghar jaldi."

"Ji Maa sa."

Her voice stern made me gulp. I gazed at the files. It's almost closing time of the office, too. I took the files, and my coat headed to the elevator.

As soon as I entered, I noticed the sudden hushed silence among the employees.

Yes, everyone is equal in our workplace regardless of their position. So there was no personal elevator for the ceo.
I again gave a curt nod for their wishes.

Headed down to the parking. I personally love driving as it calms my nerves. The guards hurried up and followed me behind.

Within a span of 30 minutes, I reached the palace. My thoughts drifted to 'My squirrel'. I wished to know what she was doing.

I entered the palace through the back entrance to avoid the attention. I headed towards my room and threw my coat on bed. A warm shower is what I need.

I stood beneath the shower, hot water calming my nerves down. I ran my fingers on my hair.

After 15 mins, I dressed in a black formal shirt and pants. Applying my favorite cologne and gelling my hair, I headed downstairs with a heavy sigh.

I entered the hall and greeted everyone. I spotted gowri Maa in the gathering. How I wish she had brought her doll here. I earned to see my squirrel at least for a second.

My heart beats for her. A constant urge of protecting her and caging her in my arms rushed through my veins. Meantime, my legs automatically walked towards gowri Maa.

"Khamma ghani gowri Maa."

" Ghani khamma shiv beta."

I bend down to take her blessings.

"Jeete raho, beta"

A warm smile tugged in her lips. After my mother, she was the one who raised me like her own son.

"Yukti, bachi. Idhar ayyiye."

As soon as I heard gowri Maa, I snapped my head towards her. There,'my squirrel' turned gracefully.

Her hair swayed in the air. Her dress swirling as she turned around. Her dimple smile, doe eyes, plumy lips. My world stopped at that moment. We shared our eye contact while everyone in the surroundings appeared to disappear. My senses calm down in her presence.

She has grown up. 8 long years, I was longing for her glimpse. I swallowed the lump in my throat. I heard throat clearing, which snapped us out of the llalla world.

That's when I noticed her glare. I chuckled inwards, knowing she disliked being gazed at.

"Toh yeh humari beti, yukti Kapoor. Chuha billi ki tarah ladthe the aap log bachpan main."

She laughed as I chuckled, remembering the past. I used to love when she had puffy cheeks and nose flared when she got mad. Making her look so adorable.
When she was a baby, I used to bite her cheeks.

Our mothers engaged in a conversation, leaving us alone.

"Ahem, ahem. Hello, Ms. Kapoor."

She is the only one who could rule my heart. Her wish my command. I was so in love with my squirrel.

"Khamma ghani raja sa."

I raised my eyes at her formal tone. I smiled mischievously. Leaned to her ear. My hot breath made her nervous. She clutched to her hands to her dress and shut her eyes up.

"Formal, are we? Call me shiv, baccha."

With that, I left her baffled and walked towards my mother.
