A completely eco friendly & colorful place which looks sophisticated & starry.

For children, it's an amusement park,for youngsters it's an advanced school,for adults it's an avant garde.

The governing building of the entire conglomerate lies at the West of the domain.

It's a large multi storey glass structure with gorgeous greenery at the front.

Inside the doors, through the floors,a phone rings in a cabin whose name is on the board beside, Arshad Khan.

Recieving the call, he listens to whatever he's told & puts off.

Standing up, he takes his MacBook & trudges out out to reach a huge rose wood door which has a single golden belt along it's length.

Beside it,carved a name on black plate in bold golden letters.

Karan Adhvik, President.

Knocking once,he walks in to see the person in name working on papers from a red leather file.

Like his room,his posture is calm & focussed.As he heard knock & foot steps,he glances at Arshad.

"Sr.Dehwaar is asking for you Sir", Arshad informs what the phone call is about.

Adhvik nods & putting his pen back, he stands to his full height, wears his black coat and proceeds, with Arshad behind.

Getting on the escalator, he reaches the upper floor & takes right to see a similar door as him & a board beside with a carving,

Kabir, Chief Executive Officer.

Arshad stops while he proceeds inside to see a brawny middle aged man sitting in the lounge area of the room having his ginger tea.

Karan ambles to him, "You called me Pa?"

Kabir looks up to see his son,"Yeah.Come sit down.I have a news for you."

Taking the seat before, Karan looks at him inquistively as he says,"Nuclear power plant is in our hands now"

Karan has a slight smile on,"Then, it's with the best"

His father lets out a chuckle,"Your move busted their facade.The soil samples & hydrology reports we sent from the near by lands made Govt to rethink it's decision.The striking element is the testimony by the forest people.And that's it we got the power plant."

His voice is evident of how happy & proud he is.

"They were given a chance & they couldn't utilize it.Pitiful.", he expresses his distaste on their helpless competitors.

Karan quietly hears his father until Kabir queries,"So,how's she doing?"

"She's fine.I talked with Ben yesterday", assuring Karan gets up,"I will take my leave now"

He is about to move when Kabir asks,
"Have you thought about the proposal?"

Karan takes a minute to answer, "Dadi would always decide the best Pa."

Forwarding his opinion, Karan leaves from there.

The clock ticks 9:30 and the plex premises are hustling.

Karan is on phone,in his office,when a man barges into his room as if it's his own bedroom & rushes to Karan hugging him tightly.

He's squealing in happiness, "Karan! Karan! I am so happy so happy...."

Karan comes out of his grip and glares him signing him that he is in call making him back off.

The guy huffs & glances aside to see Arshad in his usual poise.

Seeing the his annoyed state, Arshad speaks up,"It's an important call Mr.Gill"

"Important than me?", his anger made no sense so Arshad kept quiet while he stands there scowling at Karan.

"He became insufferable.How do you endure him?", he asks Arshad after few minutes to which he hears a reply from Karan,

"Like how I bear you!"

It's sarcastic at the same time stoic.He turns to look at Karan,

"What are you doing here Zayd?", he asks but even before he responds Karan brushes it off saying,"Forget it.I have work to do"

Treading near his table, Karan talks to Arshad, "Ready Khan?"

"Yes Sir.I reminded the Grover's.Presentation team will be there in two hours.Our Attorney revised the contract and told us to proceed.Your car is ready.All is set for today."

And that's Arshad Khan,prim & proper in every aspect.That's the reason Adhvik & Arshad makes a good team.

Both share the same age, same dedication,same interests resulting in better work.

However, can't say the same for the other person standing in the room who seemed to be forgotten by them.

Stomping his foot,Zayd reaches them & stands at middle,"I also exist"

He reminds in a low voice not at all liking their ignorance.

"What's the use anyway? I gain nothing but disturbance from you", Karan is pushing his buttons.

Zayd narrows his eyes at Karan,"Karan Adhvik Dehwaar,you are insulting Zayd Gill'

Karan then faces him & loosely crosses his arms.

He retierates,"Then what were you doing a while ago before my secretary?"

Of course he listened his back biting more like complaining to Arshad.

Zayd glares him,"I came all the way here to congratulate you and what I receive is your attitude."

Karan looks at him,"Congratulations?"

Zayd rolls his eyes,"On the return of Nuclear power plant to it's rightful owner"

Karan remembers, "Oh! Wait! How did you know? It's not official yet!",his father just told him.

Zayd smirks,"My best friend aims something and he doesn't acquire it?Aisa ho hi nai saktha"

And hugs him tightly.

More than the statement, Zayd's confidence in him makes Karan smile & he reciprocates his hug.

"I am so happy for you!"

Karan boasts,"Even I am happy for myself"

Putting an irritated expression,Zayd comes out of hug.

Smirking,Karan moves onto the creamy recliner sofas followed by Zayd,"So,how are everyone?"

Karan's slight smile lessen a bit, "Good.You know about the proposal right?"

"Yes but isn't it decided already?", Zayd asks  confused.

"It is", Karan nods but his friend seemed dubious.

"Have you asked her Karan?"

He lightly breathes before answering,"Dadi did & she agreed."

"And I see no reason to refuse.",Karan states after.

Zayd nods but suggests,"Whatever but don't do anything which she isn't comfortable with."

A little smile steals Karan's lips listening him.

"You are being responsible",Karan remarks.

Relaxing, Zayd indirectly taunts Karan,"Someone should be"

And before Karan counters, he receives a call from an unknown number.

He shows it to Arshad signing him to track the call.His secretary nods & gets into work while he lifts the call only to get stilled by the words the other person spoke.

"Who are you?", his tone low & icy.

And then the line is off.

Karan enquiringly looks at Arshad,"The call is less than 20 seconds Sir.We couldn't trace it"

He fists his right palm which startles Zayd,"What happened Karan?"

The free & light aura around them changing into tense & heavy.

Karan glances at him, his face is calm but his eyes are stern.

"We need to leave" he states slowly & at once rises up instructing Arshad "Khan, take over the meeting with the Grover's & get the pilot ready.Here's the number.I need every detail of it in 30 mins."

Arshad rarely questions his decisions and today is one of them because it's a contract worth crores. "Sir today is important..."

"Do what I say Khan",his secretary very well knew that the case is closed.

In less than 10 minutes, the three are at his white Range Rover ready to get in when Arshad asks,

"The pilot is asking for the destination Sir?"

Karan halts & without glancing at him answers,

"Dehradun."

He settles in while the other two instantly understood why.
