And along with business his relationship with her grow, making him one of her her closest friends.

From the beginning itself, Ashwin knows that Aparna has something for him. Something like a crush or some infatuation. But he was less bothered by that, even he has the same infatuations in his teen age which faded away with time.

He expected her feelings to fade away, when she realize what life really is. He expected her to understand the importance of her career and concentrate on her studies and her dad's business. For that he thought her about business and helped her in simple assignments, even after knowing that she is doing all these to gain his attention.

She will do silly things, make crazy mistakes just to make sure that he is around.

With Ajay not being around her, Aparna did lost the only adviser whom she trusted. But his absence didn't bothered her, all mattered for her was Ashwin and his presence.

She annoyed the hell out of him at time and he has no way to escape. He can't just behave harshly with his biggest business partner. But as days passed Ashwin understood one thing, that Aparna is just a child by heart.

And apart form her crazy feelings for him, he liked her. She is indeed a kind of person everyone want to be with. She is kind, she is lovely and she makes everyone around her happy.

Ashwin was happy too, in her presence and which made him forgot his past. The reason which dragged him into business, the goal he had in his heart, he forgot her, he forgot Nisha.

Nisha sowed the seeds to earn more and more money in his life.

It was when Ashwin was in his second year of his BBA when he met her.

She was their college diva and daughter of well known businessman. Ashwin never bothered about her until she approached him in the name of Friendship. She was the one who spend more time with him.

And suddenly one day she proposed him. Ashwin was startled when that happened. He won't lie that he didn't had that secret crush Over her, but that was nothing serious because he knows that they so different form each other and that won't just work out

when she knelt before him he had no option other than getting that rose form her. But it turned out to be a prank, a stupid dare to make fun of him. A dare to prove that middle class people will always fall for the charm of Rich ones.

She insulted him pointing his status that day and he wanted to prove that he is better than her. That he did within the next five years.

But after achieving that, Ashwin forgot one thing, that Nisha will try to break him and try to win by crook or hook. He was so happy that he forgot her,

what happened when she gave reentry in Ashwin's life?

Stay tuned to know that as we travel with Aparna, Ajay and Ashwin.

Ajay waited for Aparna in the parking lot of her office. Form the day she got attack in office, he decided to pick her up at all available occasions.

And if Shruti is back in town, then there is a high Chance for Aparna to meet her on the way. He don't want that to happen.

She waved at him as soon as she spotted him and he smiled back. But his smile faded when he saw Ashwin who is walking behind her.

It has been three weeks after they started working together and in the last two weeks she didn't even talked a single word about him.

Ajay was worried for her feelings for Ashwin which might have died in years that passed.

"What? Come on, start the car" Aprna's said entering into the car and he nodded his head before Starting the engine.

"How is it Going Aparna?" Ajay asked after a few minutes of silence.

"what?"

"Your work.. And... Your days with Ashwin" his words made her frown.

"It's just normal" she replied after a second.

"what else is going to be there Ajay, he is my higher authority and I'm someone who is working under his control, there is nothing more" she said and he nodded his head as she didn't left a spot for him to ask anymore questions.

"Aparna, Do you have any plans to move on your life?" Ajay asked all of sudden. He wanted to confirm one thing before doing anything stupid.

He don't know why Aprana got married in such an young age, he don't know why they got separated, he don't know what feeling she has for Ashwin now.

But he knew one thing, he knew that Aparna loved Ashwin more than anything in the past, and if there is a slightest chance, for Aparna to have to Same feeling for Ashwin, he will risk his life to get them together.

Above all the hate and rage she has on him, even if there is a smallest possibility for her to have a inch of love left for him, Ajay Will make sure to give the life Aparna deserves.

"Move on? Don't you think I already moved on in my life Ajay. I have nothing more to depend on" her voice was just plane without any emotions.

"You are just 27 Aparna, you have a long life before you. Don't you think you deserve someone who loves you. Don't you think you deserve a family to rely on?" his question made her  chuckle.

"I have you na Ajay, to love and care for me, to rely in like a family I think that's enough" she sounded cold, like she will burst out if he asked anymore stupid questions like this.

"I your friend Aparna, I can't give you everything. You need a partner to stop this society form taking nonsense about you. You can't just stay with me forever, we both have to live our life seperatly " he instantly regreted for the words he choose, but the damage was already.

"A partner?" she chuckled and the pain was visible in her eyes.

"Am I bothering you too much Ajay, am I being an obstacle in your life? If that's the thing, then just say out loud, because I'm an idiot who doesn't even understand that" Ajay stopped the car in the pavement as her eyes welled up.

"Aparna what nonsense you are talking. You were never an obstacle for me. In fact, your presence is what keeping me sane. If not for you, I would have gone insane the day Shruti left me Aparna" he said and she can sense truth in his voice.

"I just wanted you to be happy Aparna, and i know you love Ashwin and I tell me a word I will change the whole world to unite you with him. Even if the whole world stood before me, I will make sure that it happens " his words made her laugh.

"Don't say cheesy lines like a love sick teenager Ajay" her expressions changed in a second.

"How can I be happy if I was with him?" that was more of a question for herself.

"I can't Ajay, i can't even manage to stay alive if it was with him. I loved him Ajay, As you said. I loved him more than anything else that I was ready to sacrifice every damn thing for him. I sacrificed my career at the age of 20 to be his bride Ajay. And I give up my love for music, I give up my chirpy nature, I even give up my friendship with you so that i can give my whole attention to him. And you know what I got? I got betrayal. Cold hearted betrayal" she brust out in tears and Ajay don't know how to console her.

This was the first time she opened up about Ashwin to him and he wanted to listen to her, so that the grudge in her heart will subside.

"Do you know what Ashwin said? He said that I'm nothing but a deal for him. He said that our marriage was a deal that helped him to achieve his revenge. He used me to achieve his revenge over his ex-girlfriend" Ajay let her lean on his shoulders.

"But this stupid heart of mine right, that has no sense. That it stoll flutters around him" she cut her sentence in the middle.

"I don't want to talk about that anymore Ajay" she said and Ajay knows one thing.

Aprana is angry with Ashwin, she may even hate him to some extent, but the love she has for him, that's still intact. He has to bring that out to make her life right. But for that he has to know more about Ashwin and his feelings now.

Ajay has this odd feel that Aprana misunderood something which led her to this spot. He has to find that first, for that he might need his assistants.

After a long time, Ajay decided to play a game, and he want his partner with him now. It's time to call Sara, she has to be  partner to win this war.

Ajay plotted a scheme, a scheme which will force both of them to express their reality and feelings but less that he knows that his plan is to make his life complicated too.

Two weeks and two weeks of pure ingnorence form Aparna made him feel weird. He missed her old self. Even though there is no day he didn't missed her, this time having her around and missing her presence was painful.

But he can't help it. She is living with the man she loves. She is with the man who cares for her like a child. She is with a man who cooks for her, Who songs her to sleep she is with a man who is perfect for her. She is happy...

Is she really happy? Than what affected her that she suffered a mental brakedown all of sudden?

Ashwin has no answer for his own questions. But if she is not happy with him, then he is going to kill that Ajay for making his Aparna suffer.

He won't say that he is not angry with her, when she left him for him, he did felt angry over her, but that won't change the love and care he had for her.

Ashwin's thoughts got disturbed when his calling bell rang. He opened the door and his face shrunk when he doing Ajay at his door, along with Chitra.

Hello everyone, hope you all are fine.

Now I just Want to talk about this story so far with you guys. I have left some contents incomplete till now and I personally felt like the continuity of the story is not good. I felt like the it's breaking at few spots, if you felt the same, please tell that to me so that I can correct it.

And there is a few things I want to clear before the story progresses.

1) Ashwin thinks that Aparna left him for someone else, As she said that someone else has her heart.

2) Aparna believes that Ashwin betrayed her by marrying her for a deal which forced her to hate him.

3) both of them are right in their own perspective.

4) Ajay was in US when all those happened and has no idea about anything. But he supports Aprana.

5) Ashwin as he knows that Aprana lives with Ajay, naturally thinks that the man who made Aparna fall in love is Ajay. And also he believed that what Aparna felt for Ashwin in the beginning was just an infatuation which can change with time. That made him believed her, when Aprana said that she fall in love with other man.

And form this point, after this part the stroy will take a new turn, like it will concentrate on present.

In these 6 chapters I gave an idea about how Ajay Aprana and Ashwin's brain works and how they react to particular situation.

Now the phase II of this story will involve Nisha, Shruti , Sara, Chitra, and a new addition to cast Abhijit.

We will be learning about their past, the misunderstandings and many more secrets about all of them.

So ask me if you have a doubt and please express your veiws.

Take care everyone.
Stay Home stay safe

See you in the next part.

Love you all
Bye.
