Aadhya’s POV:

After we bought everything we went to my villa.

Both the kids and Sara loved each other’s company. They enjoyed it a lot.

We all played video games. Then Sara and Aahana shoot a video for their channel while I and Aahan helped them in the shooting. Then we saw some movies. It was very late till the movie ends then we are dinner. Then we watched another movie. It was very late so I told Sara to stay with us.

The next day I got up and did my morning routine. After completing the workout I went to wake the kids and Sara.

Then I went to take bath. As I was getting ready someone knocked on my door.

I said “Come in”

Sara came in the room and said

“I want clothes di. Can I borrow one dress from you?” She asked

“Yeah sure, follow me,” I said and went into the walk-in closet.

She followed me

“You can choose any dress you want to wear. If you want any new one you can see in that compartment.”
I said and pointed towards the compartment where I kept my new clothes which I haven’t even worn once.
“Your wardrobe collection is nice di.” She said excitedly.

“Thank you,” I replied.

Then I started combing my hair and did my negligible makeup.

“Can I take this dress?” She asked.

I looked at her she was holding a blue flowery printed chiffon dress that reached a little below her knees.
“Yes you can but carry a jacket or shrug with it. It’s a little cold outside.” I told her.

She nodded in yes.

“I can use the shrug which I wore yesterday.” She said

“As you wish Sara. And you can choose any jewelry you want. They are all in these drawers.”

I told her and I chose my diamond stud earrings from the collection and took out my black Rolex wrist watch

I was wearing a white suit paired with red pencil heels and I kept my hairs open.

“Wow di, you are looking so pretty,” Sara said

“Thank you, little sis,” I replied.

“Now go and get ready fast. First, we will drop the kids at their school then we will go to Aahana enterprises, your car is parked there.” I told her.

“Okay okay, I am going.” She said and ran out of my room.

I went to my study and took the important file for today’s meeting.

After eating breakfast and dropping both the kids home. We reached my office.

Sara went to her home in her car and I went inside the building.

I went to my office and started my work. It was almost lunchtime when I completed all my work.

“Ma’am you have a lunch meeting with Mr. Loothra at the ‘Indian Accent’ restaurant,” Rahul said

“Thanks for reminding me. I will just go.” I said

“Yes ma’am.” He replied

I picked up my phone, purse and sunglasses and went downstairs.

After reaching the restaurant I went inside.

This was my favourite restaurant in Delhi. This restaurant has an elegant interior with a classic ambience and rich seating arrangement. This restaurant is completely made of glass.

I went in

“Good afternoon ma’am, how can we help you?” The receptionist asked.

“I have a booking under Ms. Sharma,” I told her. She checked.

“Yes ma’am. Mr. Luthra is already waiting for you at the table. Please allow me to guide you the way.”
She said and I signalled her to do so.

We reached the table and I thanked the receptionist.

Mr. Luthra stood up when he noticed me and smiled at me.

We shook hands.

He pulled the chair out for me and took a seat when I was seated.

He was about 6 feet tall. He had sharp features and he was quite good looking but I was not at all interested in him at all. He looked like he was in his late twenties.

“Hello, Ms. Sharma pleasure to meet you. Myself Karan... Karan Luthra.” He said

I smiled “Believe me, Mr. Luthra, pleasure is all mine. I hope the journey here wasn’t that boring.” I said.

He shook his head and said “Ohh no no... not at all... You don’t know how much I waited for today’s meeting.”

I couldn’t agree more.

“Your hard work on this project itself made your way here Mr. Luthra.”

He was flattened.

“You are so considerate Ms. Sharma.” I smiled

“Shall we discuss the project?” I asked

“Yeah, sure Ms. Sharma.”

First, we ordered our lunch and then started our discussion.

Vihaan’s POV.

I was discussing something with a foreign client.

When I saw Aadhya entering the restaurant.

She was looking so gorgeous and hot in her white suit.

When she entered every eye in the room was focused on her. I was so irritated at the moment.

I wanted to be the only one who can look at her.

She came and started talking to Karan Luthra. I think she had a business meeting with him I was so jealous at the moment. They were smiling at each other. She didn’t even notice me. But my eyes were only fixed on her.

I was so hurt to see her smiling at him. I wanted to be the one she smiled at.

But I guess I lost my chance to make her smile. I have lost her.

Then I remembered the poem I once read. That poem was written by Wajid Sheikh.

Tere pas jab koi gair aakar baith gaya,

Mai ji hi ji mein dil dabakar baith gaya

Yun toh roya kam hu mai zindagi mein lekin,

Mai roya bohot jab wahan gair jakar baith gaya.

Maine jakham khhaya hai jis ghar ke khaatir,

Raah chalta usme aag laga kar baith gaya.

Mere sath mera chaand bhi dooba hai phir,

Mera Dil kahin veeraniyon mein jaakar baith gaya.

Humne bhi sataya bohoto ko teri khatir lekin,

Phir tu kisi ke sath humey sattakar baith gaya.

Jo kar raha tha tarafdari mere mooh par uss ghadi,

Mere bad woh mujhe bura batakar beth gaya.

Jo tarrasta tha kabhi mere sath jindgi bitane ko

Apne haathi woh kisi ki mehndi laga kar baith gaya.

Us bachcho se pooch kya biti hogi unke dil pe,

Jab uske baap ka, koi janaza sajakar baith gya

Yeh meri milkiyat hai wajid jo nasseb hui mujhe

Mai seene se Yeh gum sabhi laga kar beth gaya.

( I know this poem is not much suitable for the situation especially some of the last lines but I loved this poem when I read it. I felt so sad so I just wanted to share it with you all.)

Aadhya’s POV:

Well, the meeting went okay.

“I am damn sure with our partnership and hard work this project will be a great success.” He said

I was sure about this. This project will be a great success.

“Well, it has to be,” I said making him laugh

“I should take a leave now... It will be perfect if you visit Aahana enterprises so that we can clear all formalities.”

“It’s Saturday today right. I will be there on Tuesday.” He said and I nodded

“Alright then,” I said and called the waited to pay the bill.

But before I could put my debit card in the bill book Mr. Luthra put his and smiled at me.

“The lunch is on me, Ms. Sharma.” He said

“Well I was more than able to pay the bill but now that you had paid so thank you, Mr. Luthra, for the lunch. But next time the food will be on me.” I said

I stood up and extended my hand to shake with him.

We shook hands and I was about to go but he interrupted me

“Ms. Sharma...” He said

“Yeah??” I asked

“Well, a friend of mine is holding a party tomorrow night... Would you like to join?” He asked

“Well, Mr. Luthra I have another party to attend so I am afraid I can’t join you,” I said

“Oh! That’s bad” He said. He looked really sad but what can I do

“It’s okay then maybe next time.” He said

“Umm. Yeah sure.” I said

After hearing my reply he looked a little happy.

We bid our farewell and I went to my car.

I just reached my office when my phone rang.

I saw the screen it was Sara calling me.

“Hello?” I asked

“Hi, di what are you doing?” She asked

“Nothing much I just returned from a restaurant after a meeting,” I said

“Di I was thinking can you join me and Hena Bhabi shopping tomorrow. We have to go jewellery shopping then my engagement dress shopping. You can also buy your outfit for my engagement.” She asked

“Yeah sure. I will join you guys.” I said and she squealed happily.

“Wow... Thank you di. I love you” She said

“But when is your engagement?” I asked her

“On 10th November. ” She said

“Oh!!! Great then. Congrats.” I said

I was genuinely happy for her

“Thanks, di.” She replied

“But you know I want to meet this guy you are getting married before engagement,” I said seriously.

“Okay, no problem Di. I will fix a meeting for both of you.” She said

“Hmm. Then text me timing for shopping and also when will you guys meet me.” I said

“Okay, di. I will hang up now see you tomorrow.” She said and

“Hmm see you, bye,” I said

“Bye.” She replied and ended the call.
