Prateek's Pov

I am sitting in the driver seat and tapping the steering impatiently.

I looked at my phone and its Swathi
I picked it up quickly.

I felt a lump forming in my throat and my voice became screechy. I don't want to hear any bad news.I closed my eyes for a second and heaved a sigh.

I drove as fast as I can but I know I have to carefull for my Swathi,for my family.What haven't happened in this year?Memories flashed soon.

What haven't happened in these six months.It took more a month for me to become normal and back to rotinue.I got dischared and started living with Swathi in our flat.Mom and Dad thought why not we live there for some more time,just for the sake of priavacy.Swathi got associated with Mishra's company again.

I didn't find any reason to be a C.E.O any more.It took almost a month for me to convience Sameer for the post of C.E.O,He deserves it for sure.

Dad didn't leave me this time,I started working with dad again,It gives me immense pleasure and happiness.My life looked so peacefull after many years.I could see my parents meeting their Parents freely.I wonder why it took two long decades for us to break this veil.

About Mr.Rohith Mishra,He do changed a lot.Believe me he is but not like in cinemas.He still avoids me but I am least bothered about it.His eyes holds guilt mixed with anger unlike earlier these days I am enjoying his antics.I am allowed to go to my grandparents Mishra Bhavan.

We Swathi and myself visited my grand parents and cousins more than thrice.Krithik,He is working like a horse suddenly these days.I wonder what made him a workaholic so sudden but Dad is so happy to see Pramod uncle smiling all the time.

Avni got her father back and Krithik want to give her some time,He wants to give her,her space so that she can spend some days with her dad for some days.

About Arjun and Shreya still they are ignoring each other.Shreya thinks she needs a break.She diverted her complete focus on studies.Arjun started his career just now and Krithik informed that he is a great employee.Let us see what future holds for them.

Ashok was sent to jail and I some how felt pity about him.He was born and brought up like an orphan.What if he would be if he was taken care properly.I closed my eyes and pressed the bridge of my nose.

My stream of thoughts got haulted soon I stopped my car infront of Mishra's office.I tooked at it,it looks like a tall building is smiling at me.I walked into the carridor and everyone started greetin me like earlier.I can't stop grinning for a second.I looked at C.E.O's cabin and walked into it as it's my cabin.

Sameer who lifted his head quickly looked at me as he saw a ghost at an odd hour.He glanced at his wrist watch and sprung up from chair at once.

"Swathi just called me Sameer.She told me that she is not fine asked me to fetch her"I answered him who is standing there crouching his eyebrows.

"Really bro,but she didn't come to office today"He said chocking a bit.

"What?"I almost shouted.

"Really bro,She didn't come to office.I am sure about it. Why can't you call her once"Sameer looked so tense and said wiping those sweat beads formed on his forehead.

I sighed for a second and picked my mobile from my backpocket fumbling.
"Relax bro"Sameer walked to me and patted my shoulder.

"Shit...It's unreachable"I gasped and slumped in the chair.

"Let me try"He picked his phone and called Swathi again.

"Yes...It's unreachable"He said in a low tone.

"Where is she?"I am really tensed.

Krithik appeared from no where after fifteen minutes.

"Hai"He waved at us and we didn't gave him a positive response.

"Is everything okay?"He asked me and averted his gaze at Sameer expecting an answer from anyone of us.

"Swathi is missing"Sameer mumbled

"She called me that she is not feeling well and asked me to fetch her at office while Sameer is saying that she didn't come to office at all and worriedly her phone is not reachable"I looked at him trying to stop those tears brimmed in my eyes.

"Hello"Krithik quickly picked his phone and it's Avni.

"Oh really Avni,We are coming"He cut the call and looked at us with a pale face.

"What?What just happened Krithik?"Sameer asked sensing his voice.He looks so worried.

"Swathi....Swathi....."He looked at me and stopped after a second.

"What the hell are you hiding from me?Tell me?"I just shouted at him on the top my lungs.I can't take this suspence anymore.

I looked at him with furious eyes trying to cover my fear behind them.

"She met with an accident and it was a minor one.She is fine now.Avni took her to home and she is fine now"He said it at a stretch and smiled at me a little trying to assure my raging thoughts.

"Thank god!"I sighed and watched him impatiently.

"She is fine right?That's great"Sameer smiled at him and patted my shoulder.

"Come let us go home"Sameer patted my shoulder and Krithik too nodded in agreement.

Sameer took us to our flat and my jaw just slacked to see the situation there.

"I am sorry,I didn't do it purposefully. These two asked me to do so.I resisted a lot but they have their own ways to convince me"Swathi said standing  there sound and healthy staring at the floor.

I closed my eyes and wiped the sweat on my face with my hand kerchief.

I just walked to her and threw a cold stare.She looked at those two who are standing there at the entrance and smiling goofy my behind.

"Thank god you are fine"I muttered under my breathe trying to control my anger.I just can't leave these two guys like that.

"And now why you both are snickering at me?Is there anything left to make fun of me?"I mocked.

"Buddy you can't be angry at us,remember you too did the same."Krithik chuckled lowering his head.

"Yes bro,you left to Singapore leaving us all alone here without a word"Sameer too looked at me smiling widely.

"You guys are really impossible"I said slumping on couch at once.

"It's celebration time bro so stop complaining."Sameer pulled me out from couch.

"Yes"Krithik too smirked at me.

"But for what?"I looked at them confused.

"For this...."Sameer placed a paper infront of me.

"Best Entrepreneur Of the year?And...."I stopped I don't know what I am reading now.I am suddenly clueless.

"Mr.Rohith Mishra who is the President for the Board of Chambers has proposed for this award.Best Entrepreneur Award for this year"Sameer raised his brow and gave a smug smile.

"Oh my god!"Swathi just shouted at me face palming.

"Yes,yes.yes!"Krithik gave a grin showing all his teeth.

"Aw....I don't know what to say"I stood there rubbing my forehead and smiling a bit.

"Let us celebrate this yar"Sameer went back to his car and came with a champagne bottle.

I looked at them with wide open days and suddenly my phone started ringing.

"Mr.Rohith Mishra"I waved my phone in air.

"What?"Sameer chuckled and his eyes are startling..

"Keep it in speaker"Krithik screamed.

"Okay"I smiled and gestured them to keep quite by placing my finger on my lips.

"Hello"My heart missed it's rythm for a moment.

"Hello,Is it Prateek?"His voice is so sharp.

"Yes"I answered calmly trying my best to stop my wandering mind.

"I proposed your name for the Best Entrepreneur Award for this year .Being the President of Board of chambers I feel it like informing you."He took a pause and I looked at Krithik and Sameer raising my eyebrows and I could clearly hear few chuckles which made me laugh aloud.Somehow I managed.

I simply Said"Thank you" and looked at them back.

"But never think that I did it because you are my brother's son"He said a bit seriously.

"I know"It took a minute for me to think what did he say and I smiled at Swathi and my two devil friends who are chuckling at me crazily.

"All the best"He cut the call abruptly and I looked at everyone with a blank face.

"What's going on here?"Sameer is the first one to react.

"Ha ha,What just he said.Brother's son"Krithik patted my shoulder.

"We need to celebrate this for sure"Sameer winked at me and just pour a bottle of champagne on me mercilessly.
