10 months later:
Third person's P.O.V :
"Sheena, bring the files of JP project. Also make appointment for meeting with Mr. Kar tomorrow. Revise my schedule for the day and bring me a cup of coffee please." Vaish said, to her secretary cum good friend.
"Okay boss!" Sheena mock saluted her and left her cabin.
Vaish was feeling tired. Starting her own business was not as easy as she thought it would be. There were struggles,challenges. Also, many clients were not ready to invest in a new company especially when they got to know that this company is not a part of Khanna industries and was Vaish's attempt to stand her own.
All these people were ready to work with her when she was managing her father's work but as soon as she attempted to stand on her own; they turned their backs saying that a young business woman can't become successful.
Bloody hypocrites.
She thought and sighed.
She proved them wrong. Her initial works were success but she was searching for her big break that would establish her firmly in this business world.
She knew she needs more employees, some tech friendly geniuses but they were not easy to find and those she met were not trustworthy.
Along with that; was this big project in her way and she didn't want to loose it in any way. Deadline was in next 4 months and she still has so much in her plate.
At times she missed her father's company and the comfort it gave her but being stubborn she was, there was no going back for her.
Stretching herself once more, she drank her coffee and focused herself back to the presentation she was preparing for the meeting tomorrow.
***
"How are you Princess? How was your day?" Vishal Khanna asked his daughter though he can see from her face that she was tired.
The work stress was not hidden from him but he knew better to interfere because his daughter will not like it. So he was doing the best he can in that situation, silently supporting her with his words.
"Good Day! Awesome as always. Made this new presentation for clients. I know they will love it. How is it going with you?" She asked smiling, trying to hide her problems from him.
"It was great and ...."
"And no more talking of business on my table. Leave it outside the dining hall and Vaish you need to think something other than business baby! Something more girly! We are going to parlour this Sunday and getting all our girly stuff done. You need to help me finding good hairstyle for myself. Also a shopping is in order. We need to get you some new clothes. The new collection of your favourite designer is just launched! Do you want to miss it and be called the old nun?" Her mom said in one breath.
"No ways! We are going for a shopping as soon as possible. I can't miss the collection otherwise people will say that the famous Vaishali Khanna is loosing her taste and dressing in old fashioned clothes! Nah nope. Sunday it is!" Vaish announced.
Now she was a tough businesswoman but knew how to balance her personal and professional life. And she was not going to compromise one thing for other.
Her family smiled to see her back in her form. While her father tried to cheer her by motivating her, her mother had her own ways to make their daughter smile.
And so the dinner settled with conversation about new spring collections, Gupta uncle's daughter who was wearing the same dress twice and Samay's demand about new macbook and Vishal's funny stories about nervous employees.

"Vishal, dont you think Vaish is taking too much stress?" Smita talked to her husband in their room that night.
"It's a part of business, honey! She will come out of it. I can't help her in any way. She won't let me." Vishal said with a sigh.
"But she needs to slow down. She is doing well. You yourself told me that she got so many clients and all her initial projects are successful!" Smita asked him, feeling confused as to why their daughter was so worried.
It wasn't like they were having any losses in their business. Her husband's business was doing well then why her daughter was hell bent on starting her own business!
"She is successful but she is our daughter. Passionate about everything she does. She was working with me and she has seen where my business is standing right now. She is trying to bring herself to my level which is good but what she is forgetting is that I came to this level after twenty years of starting my own company. All good things need time." Vishal answered her.
"But you had me with you! Whom does she have? We can't be with her forever. We don't have energy to match with her! She needs someone besides us who can look after her!" Smita brought the topic again.
"Not again Smita! I promised her that she won't feel any pressure from our side." Vishal tried to end the topic and Smita just shook her head.
"You promised her because you are not ready to let her go. You don't want to give your Princess to someone else." Smita stated the fact and he just closed his eyes for being caught. She sat close to him and put her hand over his.
"Our daughter has grown up Vishal. As hard as it is but that is the truth and we can't run away from it. What we can do is to find a perfect life partner for her. One who will care for her and protect her with all his heart. Also one who is the perfect match for her." She said and he shook his head in approval.
"I will talk to her about it." He said.
"No you wont. Neither of us will. She is not going to agree. She should not be informed about meeting otherwise she will run in another direction. It should be so sudden that she can't run away from it." She said with a smile. She had the plan prepared.
"You are really her mother. Only you can think in this manner." Vishal smiled thinking who will win this game.
His wife who is amazing in her planning skills or his daughter who always gets an idea about the plannings.

Vaish could smell the trouble from the morning she wake up. It was Sunday. The day mother and daughter duo have planned their outing and something was fishy. Her mother was smiling too much for her good and had instructed the beautician to make Vaish look perfect for a party about which she had no idea. The dress she brought was beautiful.
Too beautiful to wear at someone else's party.
It was like it was their own party. She cross checked about all the events in their family. It wasn't anyone's birthday nor anniversary. Her own birthday passed few months ago so no surprise party for her. It can't be her business launching party because she didn't like it, then what it is?
Perhaps some kitty party of her mother's group and she wanted to make all her friends jealous by showing them her beautiful, smart, intelligent and awesome as hell daughter! Yeah that must be it.
Thinking that she closed her eyes and enjoyed the hair massage she was getting.
Good relaxation after a stressful week.
***
Too much for thinking about relaxation. It wasn't a kitty party. It want even a party. It was a dinner date.
Set up by her mother.
She was surprised when they entered her favourite restaurant. She thought her mother wanted to talk to her over dinner and so she walked toward the private cabin along with her mother. She sat on one of the two chairs while her mother excused herself on the context of using ladies room.
After five minutes she received a text from her mother dearest.
Baby Girl,
Enjoy the dinner date with Rohan Arora a successful engineer working in Mercedes India. He works in customised car designing department and stuff related to that. Around same age as you. You both have so many things in common and I know that you guys will click with each other. So give him a chance!
With lots of hugs and Kisses :*
Your one and only mother ♡
Ps: Don't get angry on him because of mr. Poor fellow isn't a part of this planning.
Pss: you can't escape as the door will only open from outside when he enters.
Psss: I love you too!
Mom!!!! I am so going to take my revenge from you for this. But right now I have to come ot of this problem named Rohan Arora! You are so gone dude!
***
Rohan entered the restaurant. He wasn't nervous about this meeting. It wasn't his first time. He had met one more girl earlier but she wasn't his type. She was too shy and polite. He needed someone who can carry herself with confidence and make a smart conversation.
From what he heard about Vaishali Khanna she was a young business woman who started her own business leaving her father's established company. This showed her courage. She looked beautiful in the photo he saw and he could see her confidence in her eyes. He expected this meeting to be interesting.
He entered the room and saw her sitting in the her chair while typing something furiously over her phone. She looked at the noise and he got a chance to see her properly and man was she beautiful.
The picture didn't do a justice to her beauty.
Long brown hairs with golden highlights, fiery brown eyes shooting daggers at him, cute little nose which for some reason has turned red, and red lipstick coated lips. The peach dress she was wearing made her look perfect and he was definitely attracted to her.
I have to get this girl! She is the one. He thought.
I have to get rid of this handsome man. She thought.
I could have dated him if we met by ourselves without mothers being involved but no way I am going to marry someone selected by my parents. I need to have some interesting story to tell my grandchildren in future about how I met their grandpa ! This isn't really what they would like to hear. So sorry Mr. Rohan Arora you are not the one.
"Hey! I hope I didn't make you wait for long." He said and settled himself in his chair.
"Hey! You just made me wait for what... thirty five minutes ? Not that I was counting. I don't have any work to do so I can keep on waiting for an unknown person on my only free day of the week and don't mind it at all." She said and gave him a fake smile.
Fiesty. I like it. Rohan thought and smirked.
"My apologies for making my lady wait. I will he careful in future." He tried to flirt which unfortunately added to Vaish's temper.
Oh God! One of those arrogant guys who think that they will be the one to tame the fiesty lady. Not happening boy. Vaish thought.
"First of all I am not your lady. Secondly, don't fake an apology, I hate it and thirdly we don't know if there would be a next time. So don't make promises." She said and Rohan looked at her like she was an alien.
He cleared his throat and spoke to her. "Waiter is here. We should give our order. You can order anything you want. I don't like woman who eat salad just to maintain them selves."
Oh God! This again. Vaish thought.
"One Russian salad for me and No dessert." She gave her order.
As soon as waiter left she turned to Rohan. "You men think that we woman do everything to be zero figure. A great misconception. Sometimes we do things because we are just conscious about our health. I am eating salad not because I want to maintain my figure but because its good to eat something healthy once in a week. Get that?" Vaish was on fire today.
"Okay okay. Calm down please. I admit I was being judgemental. But I want to admit one thing honestly. You changed so many beliefs of mine in just ten minutes. I would like to know you more. Learn about you more. Get corrected by you, even get scolded if I was being a jerk." Rohan said honestly.
Vaish squirmed at her seat. This was awkward. She knew how to behave with arrogant boys. If he was being bad; be a badass. If he was being flirt; be a feminist. If he has ego; show him attitude bigger then Himalayas. But what to do with an honest man? There is no code of conduct for that.
She chewed the salad slowly and looked at him who was waiting for an answer from her about his big question.
Did she want to see him again?
***
So guys what do you think her answer will be?
Dont hate Rohan. He is a nice guy! He has the courage to accept his mistake. May be a perfect match for our Vaish ;)
Vaish's mom really knows how to trap her but again its Vaish we are talking about! Lets see how she handles this situation.
By the way, the dramas and plannings have started! Dramas which are never ending and plannings so bigger that no one can imagine!
Remember, there is a story behind every story! A planning bigger then what it appears ;)
So stay tuned! And keep on voting and commenting.
