She entered the room with confidence woozing out from her every step.
Arjun never saw anyone women with confidence as much as her and he was partially bewitched with they she was carrying herself.

Of course as any warm blooded men he wanted to bed her the moment she sat on the chair infront of him. Not only was he attracted to her but also her intelligence . The other two seniors were also amazed with the young 22 year lady who is having a keen knowledge and the way she answered them was worth appreciation of young minds.

She was hired along with 2 other men who were suitable for the standards of the company. By this time arjun understood one thing that she is beauty with brains who can't be tamed with silly words and fake promises... Ofc he wasn't the one to do them though, but he was infactuatued with her and could do anything to get her....

As the days went by, arjun tried to stay away from her but he ends up stalking her into the coffee room, or when she is with her friends...
one day, his obsession has increased to such a level that he even hacked her phone.

There was nothing special in her phone except for her pictures which he found beautiful... He got to know that she has a habit of trying new dishes and she kept watching at least one new dish in YouTube everyday... Her chats were normal, no male in her life and he was happy with this little information that he gathered...

One fine day when he was leaving his office, he looked at the other end of the street to find a similar figure... He squinted his eyes more and realized that it was Meera. He couldn't help but follow her by parking his car a block away and then went under the shadows maintaining atleast 10 feet distance from her... But when he saw her entering the graveyard... He felt a twitch in his stomach...

He stood near a tree in the grave yard and her back was facing him... In between many graves , she stopped at one specific grave . She kneeled down and started crying her heart out which she couldn't control... She hugged the grave stone and whispered something. As soon as she left, arjun went there and looked at the grave stone engraved with 'Shwetha rathore'...he identified that it was meera's mother... He felt bad for wanting her in a way which he shouldn't....

She started invading his brain in a way that he didn't expect that it would happen with him...
Something called as love...

A few days after coming to know about her family background which included her old father and 2 elder brothers who had left them after they have found a stable job and got married... It's depressing to know how they could leave their younger sister and old paralysed father on their own to survive in this world... World is cruel..

Arjun waited for meera after office patiently and as every other day he was ignored by her... Meera never liked this and from start she knew that she has attracted a pair of eyes on to her which was none other than her department head... Though she tried to ignore his presence but she couldn't because he was there every where she goes... Almost....

To end all of this, meera has thought that she would meet arjun and tell him to ' fuck off ' , though she didn't mean in literal words, but somewhat the same...

Arjun was happy when he got a message from meera, asking him to meet in a cafe, which was quite far from the office as she dosent want anyone to know about this issue..

Arjun made sure that he is presentable and swore to charm her with his everything so that she wouldn't even take her glance off him.

As soon as she reached there, arjun was standing near the entrance, though she was slightly moved by seeing his punctuality, persistence and of course his good looks but she has something else to do, which didn't involve arjun and she doesn't want to bring him in this fight of hers. She felt attracted to him, she would have gave him a chance only if there were no strings attached to her which were restricting her from doing what her heart wants...

She sat in a corner table and arjun sat infront of her, drinking in her every move and word. Which was magical to him.

As soon as the food arrived, they had their food in silence unable to initiate conversation. Meera wanted to come straight and tell him to leave her as she dosent want him to keep any expectations on her as she already knows how hard it would be to have a broken heart... Her mother was an example for that....
She dosent want arjun to grow his false hopes on her...

" I hope that we will be in the terms of manager and an employee and nothing more or nothing less . " she said sternly and arjun was taken back for a second and he expected that maybe she was a giving a chance for this relationship but never in his dreams he thought that she would be keeping a stop before it starts...

" I know that you have responsibilties and I respect you. I want you to just lend me your hand and I will take away the burden from you and bare it. I will look after you. " arjun said with his words filled with promises of a beautiful future which made meera cry internally but she can't dream of impossible things... No one would understand her... Her path has already been fixed and she can't turn back from her destiny which she wrote by herself...

" sorry arjun
I don't like you.
I have someone else whom I adore " meera said but arjun knows very well from the information gathered that she dosent do relationships nor she is interested in anyone.... Then why is she lying?
Only to get rid of him?
He was broken a little with those words spilled from her mouth... He built dreams of having her with him...
His rose...

She left him behind without hearing to him and he bore the pain inflicted by her... He was sure of one thing,
that he loves her...

He went back to office and the days passed by with arjun giving space to meera as he thought that this is all new to her and she needs space... Maybe later she will give him a little space in his heart.

Meera on the other side didn't like the way arjun was keeping distance from her after that day in the cafe. He stopped following her, texting her... She felt alone again but she didn't like this loneliness now , which she used to adore it before he entered her life...

The day soon arrived when Sanjay entered the office, he wasn't allowed before to mingle into his father's business but later on he proved himself worthy of handling the business...

How? U might ask...
How can this play boy, drunkard can change himself?
But unknown to the world, he did something grave to earn his father's trust. When he asked his father to give him CEO post in one of his main branches especially the newly emerging construction industry, his father was slightly taken back beacuse that hasn't still improved and it needs a lot of hard work to bring it up. But as Sanjay showed interest and started working hard for this stream by bringing up France deal which his father thought would loose as they dealers werent interested in investing in an emerging company but Sanjay proved them wrong. He got the deal.

Of course his father discussed this matter with arjun and he was happy that his brother was in a right track and they both can work together to bring up this company...

When the first time Sanjay entered the company, meera's eyes fell on Sanjay... Her target....
She made sure that Sanjay would be able to see her every step. She made sure that he would take up interest in her... As Sanjay lusts after beauties so he couldn't ignore the beauty with brains who is working under his brother, he used to make sure to meet the manager aka arjun every time he can , to spread the soo called brotherly love which was nothing but trash. His main focus was to catch a glimpse of her and as the bait wanted, the hunter used to show her soo called innocent face which could tempt anyone...

One day after the hectic schedule, arjun went to pub, ofcourse he was no saint but he wanted his angel as soon as possible... He drunk till he lost his senses and called his rose.

Meera was feeding her father, even though their mother and father's relationship didn't have love in it... But her father looked after her after her mother passed away when she was just 6 years old . He loved her enough for both mother and father. Even though he is paralyzed, she made sure that he gets everything he needs...
She loves her father...

She got a call after feeding her feather and she left to her room with a plate of rice and curry in her hand... She looked at the caller and she was happy... Because it was none other than her love... Yes love... Because she understood one thing for sure that she loves him in these past days....

But what made her shock was he was drinking and blabbering stuff she couldn't understand even a bit, but she liked it when he called her 'love'.
She pestered him to give the phone to the bartender , and he did , after a lot of earful of words from her. The bartender gave her the address of the pub and she made a note of it.

As soon as she reached there, she was stopped at the entrance and at the same time arjun came out swinging... As soon as his eyes fell on her, he engulfed her into a large hug. She felt warmth. She wasn't disgusted by his previous drinking acts....

She took him inside the car and asked him for the address to which he responded. As soon as they reached his pent house she made him lie down. One thing was clear now that arjun is no normal Man. He must be rich enough to afford such a luxurious house at the poshest part of city...

That night was the night of passion where they didn't do the deed but they let out themselves with the simplest gestures...

The next day as soon as he saw meera on his bed, he understood that he had took advantage of her in his drunk state. He promised meera that he would take her responsibility and meera played the game for fun to tease him...

Under the nose of arjun, meera was again trying to pick up interests of Sanjay on her, but it took a reverse turn as Sanjay and meera ended up doing the deed under the influence of alcohol in Sanjay's pent house.

Unkown to their fate, arjun came with their mother to Sanjay's pent house as he had important transactions that needs his elder brother's signature and their mother came to visit her elder son who wasn't coming home as he was busy with his deals and stayed back at his penthouse since past one month.

As soon as both mother and son duo entered the passcode and entered the home, they heard something, which was shame for mother but arjun's mind was alerted with this sound of the female voice. As soon as he entered the room after asking his mother to settle down in the hall.
He got a shock of his life seeing his love and his elder brother making out.

Even after noticing a presence, they didn't stop which burnt arjun's heart. He pushed Sanjay off the bed and meera groaned for Sanjay to which arjun poured water on her head to make her come back into her senses...within seconds, meera was able to handle herself but as soon as she saw arjun standing there, her face paled looking at him... He couldnt take it anymore... He left the room and looked at his mother who was uncomfortable.

They were about to move out of the house but a voice stopped them.
" brother, I can explain,
We both are in a relationship and we wanted to marry " Sanjay said, he liked meera from the start, he knows that she does all those things to grab his interests and he fell for her in the process of her acts which seemed cute for him...and also he can't give off his true play boy nature in front of his parents who now believe that he has changed.

" what!
Is this how you introduce your woman to your mother young man?" Mrs Anita said fake glaring but happy that her elder son is stuck to one girl and this girl could change him to be a better person...

Unkown to them, arjun was unable to bear the pain in his heart. He looked anywhere but them and suddenly meera came down casting her head low. She didn't even give a glance at him as if he was a mere stranger which broke his heart... How could she do it with his elder brother when she has already done it with him...

" look at me darling " Mrs. Anita said lovingly wanted to look at the face of her soon to be daughter in law.
As meera didn't lift her head Anita understood that she has caught the young couple in an unexplainable act and she is embarrassed. So Anita said
" oh dear
Common, I'm Sanjay's mom and
This is Sanjay's younger brother arjun" as soon as those words left Anita's mouth, meera gasped knowing the fact that arjun was Sanjay's younger brother whom she loved truly....

As soon as meera raiser her head, Anita was shocked looking at her face...

" Who are you? " Anita asked falling on to couch and arjun helped his mom to sit well... arjun and Sanjay were shocked with the way their mother responded seeing meera's face...

" you are malini's daughter right? " Mrs. Anita asked, she is 100 percent sure that they both are mother and daughter as she is exactly the copy of her mother...

" oh
I didn't think that you would still remember my mother after all she was a useless spec of dust for you " meera said with a voice filled with loath and snickered at the end with distaste...

" why?
Cat got your tongue Mrs. Veer Singh rajput?!
How shameless you are to take away my mother's husband! You are just a maid in the house who bore these two seeds and you snatched away my mother's legal wife's position so that you could live lavishly!
These both are not even related to the great veer Singh rajput!

Tell me
Whom did you sleep with to have these both? Ha! "
meera yelled and Sanjay slapped her hard which made her loose her balance and fall.

" you should do that to your slut mother! Who whored around and had you! Disgusting family " meera yelled earning another slap from arjun this time. Both the sons love their mother too much and would never let the person who hurt their mother leave without a mark. They both are two monsters who are near to be woken.

She crawled to Mrs. Anita who was still shocked and this made Anita looke at meera.
Arjun held back meera by gripping her hands back in fear that she would hurt his mother.

" tell Mrs. Rajput
What have you done to gain that seat in which you are sitting now! " meera yelled with tears for her late mother's struggles...

Unknown to everyone present there Veer Singh rajput has seen and heard everything from the entrance of the door which was slightly opened. He came there with the expectations to meet his elder son who was busy all the day to make a way to top this company but what he saw here was totally unexpected.

He stepped inside gracefully, as the king he was. He looked around the people in the room and his heart weakend seeing his wife with tears brimming at the corner of her eyes... Those were the memories which he never wanted her to remember.

" so the young lady here wants to know the truth, then why don't you ask the one whom you accused of leaving your mother " Veer Singh said sitting in a walnut leather chair with power radiating from him. His glance is enough to make his opponent fall weak.

" why do you think that your mother couldn't have you when she is with me but then she gave birth to you when she was with varun? " he asked scrutinizing the young lady on the floor held by his second son for their safety.

" you are infertile you bastard and you got played by this bitch " meera yelled like a maniac and started laughing...

" oh really
That's one good story your mother has made....
Do want to listen how much of a home-wrecker your mother is? " veer said rubbing his white mustache. His piercing gaze made meera uncomfortable...

" well then
Let me tell you
You see my wife here
Her parents had adopted YOUR mother Shwetha who was none other than Anita's cousin, because they couldn't raise a girl due to their poor economic status.

~~~~~~

They both grew up together where Anita believed that Shwetha is her real sister and a best friend she could ever have but Shwetha was jealous of everything which Anita had. She acted like she was good on surface but she has maliciousness filled in her blood.

When varun came into Anita's life, eveything was roses and love for her. He was rich business magent with good looks. They both loved each other and was about to ask for permission to get wedded. But what they didn't expect is that Shwetha has already asked her parents aka Anita's parents who are like her parents. She said them that she loves varun and they have talked with varuns parents about the marriage unknown to anita and varun.

Varun's parents accepted this marriage and both the families were happy expect for Anita and varun. They couldn't do anything except for watching the increasing distance between them....

Shwetha was on cloud nine to get a rich and handsome husband and not to forget that she was more happy beacuse she snatched it away from Anita....

Anita was like a dead corpse from that time on. She completed her higher education and joined my company for internship. The people who are destined to be, will meet. That's how I met Anita and I understood that she is broken. I made sure that she feels much warmth, love and care. It wasn't enough for her to come out of her shell ,and to make her mine, I have talked to her parents and they were happy.

We both got married and I made her fall in love with me again. It's nothing that Veer Singh rajput can't do or get.
We had our ups and downs but we worked out together. Until one day Anita's parents had passed away and according to their will, they have written down everything to Anita.

As soon as Shwetha came to know about this, she came to Anita and picked up a fight with her. But she didn't know that this Anita is not a weak woman who she used to be once. I have changed her.

Anita fought back shwetha saying that she was a parasite on the family and she took away her first love and now she came to snatch away the inheritance too... Shwetha was shocked but didn't step back.

And varun's business had declined since the moment he married Shwetha because he couldn't forget his love Anita, but as soon as he came to know that Anita got married, he was broken and his business went into bankrupt. Shwetha couldn't cope with the fact that Anita is happy with a prince in a palace so she planned to take away the inheritance from Anita's parents for which she has planned their accident and they couldn't survive the car accident.

But unknown to Shwetha, Anita's parents have already drew a will in her name as soon as Anita was born.
Shwetha came to know about this fact after the accident and she played a pitiful role infront of the family lawyer to get atleast half of the inheritance but this was a deal of millions of dollars along with their family business whose sole heiress was my wife Anita.

Shwetha thought that she could snatch it away easily from my wife but to no Vail seeing the changed anita, she left with the aim to plan something else.

After she was sure that varun had left for picking up his business after you were born... His daughter meera...
He left to make sure that he picks it up from the ashes... But what he wasn't aware of Shwetha's plan. She had forged divorce papers with your father varun and she played the pity role infront of my wife Anita saying that varun didn't love her and he left her...

Anita was soft hearted for her sister still even then and thought this was because of varun and Anita's love due to which Shwetha didn't get a chance to be loved by varun. She pitied the baby in shwetha's arms.

She stayed behind with you in my palace and sent your other two brothers to boarding school.

After a week of her stay, everything started to take off. The money and important files were missing and I knew who was behind it. But I couldn't say a word as she was my wife's sister and I let it go. But as soon as she started clinging to me and tried to break off the relation between me and Anita , I took my step of investigating in depths of matter where I came to know that she was the one behind Anita's parents accident.

Your mother lusts money, fame. She tried to kill my anita by tipping her off to local goons and make a fake case of burglar attack and she even tried to kill arjun by suffocating him with pillow but we were lucky enough to save him on time. Everything was revealed about her intentions and varun returned too, she pretended to be a victim that I have tainted a women who was left behind alone when her husband went for business trip.

I tossed her out of the palace with the proofs that she was the one licking the floor of our boots and this made her frustrated beyond limits. Varun being a softhearted has allowed Shwetha to come back to him as the divorce hasn't been still applied in the court and also because they are parents of 3 children.

Shwetha took advantage of his weakness and came back to him but karma would never leave her for hurting my wife and my younger son.
She was diagnosed with cancer with a time worth of 6 months and later she passed away.

Now tell me young lady do you think that you are worthy enough to raise a finger on my family for what your mother has done? " veer Singh rajput asked glaring at the young women but meera was in her world of dilemma.... Her mother has wrote everything in her diary.....but what is all this now? How can everything change within in a mere few minutes..
Is it true?

She looked at anita who is crying silently and she got up from her place. Without another word, meera left from there....

It's been 3 months since meera has left the company and arjun felt heaviness in his heart... Meera was not at fault in this... It was because of misguidance of her mother that she took the path of revenge... But somewhere deep down he still loves her .

One fine day when arjun was returning on the afternoon from a meeting, on the way, he had seen a lady walking on the footpath whom he recognized it as meera. He parked his car in an alley and followed her silently to see her going into a grocery store. He follwed her in and the floor beneath him slipped off as soon as he came to know that she is working as a cashier there.

He waited outside until her shift gets over and as soon as meera saw him. There were tears in her eyes. She jumped on to him even though she knows that she dosen't deserve him but she wants him... His love...

She said arjun that she is pregnant and arjun was skeptical about it. She confirmed him that it was his as she is 4 months pregnant and it was exactly the time they both had slept. Arjun was happy and he wanted her back as he knew that his sanity lies in her. She has done a mistake and he can let it go because he loves her.

Unkown to arjun that he was being cheated again, this was all a plan set by Meera and Sanjay . Sanjay wanted to fix his name on the company that his father has but arjun came back to India becoming a tough rival to Sanjay. So Sanjay made meera the scape goat when she approached him that she is pregnant with his child and Sanjay does know this too as she was virgin that night. He could see that meera was planning something and he tipped her with his plan of becoming the sole owner of the empire and she would get the place of the queen only if she helps in getting the empire to which meera nodded as this was the opportunity for her to enter the family.

He asked her to marry arjun as he already knew that his brother was a fool in love with her and meera agreed immediately. Because meera has her own set of plans. She could never hurt arjun. She will make sure that Anita and Veer get punished for their crimes and she still believes in her mother's words...
She could get married to the love of her life and play her game... This was what meera has thought which wasn't known to Sanjay as he thought that he could play meera on his fingertips to eliminate arjun.

As soon as she entered the palace after secretly both of them registering their marriage, both Anita and veer were not happy but had to accept as she was having a heir growing in her. Both the elders let go off everything thinking that it was shwetha's fault for feeding her daughter with revenge at the last breaths of her life.

Everything was fine but meera was unhappy seeing this happy family who are enjoying their life . As soon as she came to know that ankita , the princess of this royal family is coming to the palace because she was pregnant and the baby should be born in the palace itself according to the rules.

Meera acted like a good sister in law for ankita and ankita believed in her blindly. One day when ankita was about to step on the stairs and she slipped from the stairs and rolled down, leading to loosing her 8 months baby and when ankita came to know this fact after her 2 months of coma, she couldn't cope up and got paralyzed.

Vikrant, ankita's husband was devastated but made sure that he loved for both of them .

This was all meera's doing, she poured powder on the marble floor and cleaned it fast and left from there after ankita fell off the stairs...

The whole family was mourning over the unborn heir of their lovely daughter , who lost her self and couldn't even move a finger on her own.

As Sanjay wanted, meera helped him in getting all the core details of the company with tricks up her sleeves. Veer Singh was devastated with the gradual down fall of the empire.
Meera made sure that no one doubts her and she asked her mother in law aka Anita to accompany her to one of the doctors appointment for routine check up and Anita accepted.

On the way they were stoped by a gang of men and Anita made sure that meera runs away. She distracted them so that meera can save herself and the unborn baby.

Meera came back running inside the palace and hugged arjun and told everyone what has happened. She cried all day and night for mother in law.

But the other day when every one left for continuing the investigation of Anita , meera too left the palace.
She travelled to the outskirts of the city and reached a basement where the sole reasons of all her mother's troubles and hardships is staying captured. It's none other than Anita. This was all pre-planned.

Anita was stunned to see that meera, whom she accepted as her daughter and loved her was the one who did this....

" tsk...tsk... How could you be soo brainless Mrs. Anita?
Only because a heir is growing in me?.....

Do you know what?
This baby isn't your second son's seed but your first son's...

He was the one who planned everything from the start... Your empire down fall and the rest..." said meera like a maniac which scared Anita.

"shall I tell one more thing?
I was the one who caused accident to your lovely princess of the palace,your daughter.....
What a shame that I couldn't see her face close enough when she fell or your tears too when you mourned for her"
Meera said and laughed monstrously.
Anita sobbed but tried fighting back her tears....but she couldn't because it was her grandchild she lost along with her daughter....

" cry more
Let me hear it
It feels musical
And gives me relief " meera said clutching her heart... She felt immense satisfaction seeing Anita cry...

But this not the end
She has something more
She needs to do it fast before anyone can find her. She asked her goons to take Anita to the hill side and they reached there within an hour.

" how about you tell a bye to your life" meera said grinning , holding Anita's neck. Anita couldn't do anything as she was tied up.

But as soon as meera heard the sound of the cars behind her, she looked back to see veer, arjun and Sanjay. They rushed to them only to be stopped when meera pointed a gun at Anita.

Everyone requested her to leave Anita but she wasnt ready as she has to get revenge for her mother's injustice.

There was a shot which echoed in the whole hill.

Meera was shot on her shoulder by sanjay and Anita moved away from meera. Taking this as an opportunity , veer rushed to Anita and helped her.

Meera moved back and back until she reached the cliff. She slipped and arjun ran to her as she was holding onto the rock.

The setting sun was witnessing the love.... The cry of a love....
" save her please " was the only thing that meera heard from Anita's mouth. She laughed at her own fate... Maybe she was wrong from the start .

She looked up to see the man holding her hand. The same man who held her hand in every hardship with her. The same man who held her hand when she was alone. The same man who gave her happiness. The same man who was a ray of sunshine in her gloomy life. He was her ray of hope. Her only love for this life time.

A lone tear escaped her eye with a smile that etched from a paining heart. She wants to sleep now. She has lived enough. The only thing she wants now is for him to live his life.
Hope he can do his tie on his own and also wish that some one could make him his favourite black coffee everyday first in the morning.

Only if this has never happened.
Only if we met differently.
But you are the best thing which happened in my life. The only one who loved me...

Hope you can forgive me .

" live my love " she said her last words and released herself from him... From this hate filled world , revenge filled world, from this gruesome place but leaving behind her love. The most beautiful thing that ever happened to her.

'Live love'

She fell into the abyss of the forest with a tear and smile of satisfaction that she was atleast loved by one person. Her love..... him...

Even the sky cried blood with pain of witnessing the love and fate of 2 mortals.

Arjun yelled out in pain seeing that his love had left him alone....
