It has been two days since the party. At the party, Vivaan and Misha avoided each other like plague.

Surprisingly, all the elders decided to break all their differences and make a fresh start just like the old days. It was going to be hard but it was worth a try. They all blamed Vivaan for the whole separation and the Sachdev's tried to stay as far from him as possible.

Misha's POV 

At the party two days ago, I found out that Dharmendra uncle had met with an accident and got paralyzed. This accident was the same one which had taken away Misha's parents. Since I left for university 7 years ago, I missed out on alot that happened here. Only when I came back a year ago I saw that the two families had separated.

In the past year since I joined the business, I noticed that nothing was like before. The vadhera's and Sachdev's used to be so close. Soon I found out that Vivaan, who had taken over the bussiness since his father's accident, had caused a drift between the families. He created misunderstandings, but luckily now everyone is trying to come back together. No one knows why he did what he did over the past years. 

A few months ago, I saw how agitated chachu(Mahesh uncle), dada ji (Mr.Sachdev; grandad of Misha) and Avi bhaiya used to be. In the past years, Vivaan had manipulated to get most of the shares of the company in his name. Based on his trend he was going to being the Sachdev's on the road in the next 2 to 3 years. None of them had told this others in the family. For the past years, The three of them had been fight legal battles and trying to fight off Vivaan. No matter what they gave him, he never agreed to cut the deal and transfer the shares. Of course all of that changed once I moved here. The only way to stop him was to cut a deal on his terms. 

Honestly speaking, I did not even remember Vivaan. He was a family friend and Avi bhaiya's best friend. In childhood, we only said hi but never got to talk on a friendly base. One obvious reason was our age difference, he was 6 years older than me. 

Thinking about him reminds me of that dreadful night where I lost everything I had. 

"Misha ..." I heard grand mom call me so I ran downstairs. 

"Yes, grandma" I sat next to her on the sofa and hugged her tightly, trying to forget the night which was still fresh in my mind. 

"Did you get your reports from the doctor yet?" she questioned me. 

Yesterday I got a checkup and they forwarded me my reports saying that my vomitings were nothing but food poisoning and said I should control junk food. 

"Yes grandma, it is just food poisoning so no more canteen food at the office that's all. Don't worry about me my sexy heroine" I winked and kissed her cheek.

"Mahesh you have been spoiling her and please do not make her like Priya... Mahesh look what she said.."Before she can question any further on my comment to my uncle, I ran away from there. 

When crossing the balcony, I saw Avi bhaiya talking on the phone. 

"..I didnt know they were going to come..oh.. if i had known... why  would not I call you to my family party Anu... please baby .. why.." He exasperated, looks like the call cut got cut from the other side.

Anu?? Huh, thats the same name ait few days ago and that too BABY???

Bhaiya is definitely dating someone, and I have to find out whom!

"Who is Anu bhaiya?" I question him. He gets surprised and turns to me with an I got caught kind of look.

"Anu ???? who anu?? I don't know any Anu!" he tried to act all confident.

"Anu! that Anu .. u know .. voh vaali Anu!" I try to prompt him.

"I don't know any Anu, Misha"  he tries to hide his face.. "ARREY Bhaiya the BABY waali Anu.. " I say and see him sweating with mention of baby. 

"You want to tell me or should I tell everyone?" he doesn't reply so I shout "Priya, chachi , chachu Bhaiya likes a girllll......" I suddenly feel his hand on my mouth trying to prevent me from speaking. 

I raise my eyebrows at him..." Okay fine I will tell you but don't tell anyone! She is my college friend. We started dating three years back and now she wants to marry me but.. but.."

"marry ? wow bhaiya.. you are going to get married. but what?" I ask him.

"But she is Vivaan's cousin" he dropped the bombshell. For a minute my opinion of her changed from aww to oh no. But seeing his sister and mother I realized that they should be not held accountable for his actions. So what if Anu is his cousin, she is not responsible for him and neither she has to be like him. If my bro likes her then she definitely is someone special.

"Bhaiya so what? If you love her and she loves you then that is all that matters. And don't be worried about chachu's reaction. He himself likes the Vadhera's, just not Vivaan. They are so nice and I am sure that she is nice too... I mean my bhaiya likes her so she is definitely nice" I hug him, trying to wave off any doubts in his mind. 

After talking together for a while, I demanded that he promise me that he will talk to chachu about Anu. Then I left for the orphanage. 

I reached the orphanage in half an hour. 

"Mishra Ji! have all the donations been counted?" I question the manager of the orphanage. 

"Hanji Misha beta. all is ready to be processed." 

"Okay Mishra Ji, please handle this month's accounts and give a report to either chachi or pooja aunty." saying that I left to hang out with the children. 

"Didi is here!!" all the kids came around and we started singing the cutest songs and played ringa ringa roses. These kids were a delight for me.

After a while, one kid comes up to me and pulls my shirt "didi didi yeah note us uncle ne diya hai.." and he pointed towards a man.

** Flashback **

1 year ago

"Misha didi, bhaiya ne yeah rose diya hai and saath mein yeh note bhi hai!" and then the kid ran away.

I smelled the rose and opened the note; it said -

"Tonight 7 o'clock at the back room"

I looked up to see that guy standing there with a smirk on his face. 

It has only been few weeks since I came back to India after my studies and joined the company. 

I smile back at him and signal thumbs up!

When it is 7 in the evening, I walk towards the back room to meet this guy I met a week ago. A guy who was able to make a print in my mind in only seven days. 

I enter the room and the lights are off!

"Thank god you are finally here Misha" I felt his warm breath on my cheek and I could feel his body warmth close to me. 

He took my hand and pulled me behind the table. He lowered us and whispered "anytime now" ,  I could feel him so close to me yet not feel strange. How was this possible? 

In next few seconds the lights went on and we all screamed 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY'. There were more kids in the room and we all looked at the door to the cutest member of our clan smiling widely and looking surprised. It was his birthday or lets say the day he came to this orphange. At the age of nine, he was the most dashing guy present in the room. We all cut the cake and gave him his gifts.

"Did you enjoy it?" he asked me.

"Of course I did, did u see the face Raju made when he jumped at him with the cake, haha .. and oh the cake on this face haha" I just couldn't stop laughing.  

I felt him touch my cheek and caress it.. what?!! "Sorry there was cake on your cheek as well" he wiped it off and smiled looking embarrassed.

"So what exactly do you do?" I asked him, trying to prolong our meeting. 

" I work at a big company" he replied. " Is that all you are going to tell me?" I ask again.

"I .. um.. " he was at a loss for words. Suddenly his phone rang and excused himself t answer the call. 

For the past one week, I saw him at the orphanage every day. We met on my very first day here. He seemed so genuine, always making kids here happy. Bringing in books or food. 

He was always well dressed, in branded clothes so definitely he was not poor or anything. Not that it mattered!

"He is a really nice, isn't he?" I heard one of the teachers ask me.

"Yeah" 

"I have never seen anyone like him. He is here always. He is some big shot guy and donates tons of money here but never lets us write his name for the trusty board. When our monthly function happens, he does not even want us to acknowledge his name in front of the press which is unlike other donors." she said. 

"He seems very giving." I feel proud that someone is giving to the community without any gains. 

"You know earlier we never celebrated the birthdays here because we do not know the actual birth dates of most of the children, but a few months ago he introduced this idea that the day they come here should be seen as their rebirth and so we celebrate whenever they came here" she smiled again. 

"I met him a few days ago, but every time I forget to ask him his name! Who is he, what is his name?" I ask her. 

"His name is Vivaan"
