A man must be big enough to admit his mistakes, smart enough to profit from them, and strong enough to correct them.

Yuvraj's POV

05:57AM IST
Singhania's Residency
Vasant Bihar, Alexander Graham Bell Marg, Malabar hill
Mumbai, 400006

Waking up from my deep slumber, I stretched my limbs and headed to my bathroom. Finishing my morning routine, I grabbed my brush and brushed my teeth. Then I took a shower and came out in a towel with dripping wet hairs. Rummaging through my wardrobe I took out a black t-shirt along with a pair of black jeans and wore them on. Then I took out a brown jacket as the climate is getting colder and the jacket would be needed in Lavasa.

I brushed my hairs and went downstairs with my duffle bag which I toasted to a guard to keep it inside the car. Then I went to the kitchen where chachi was packing food with some servants.

I took a croissant off Chachi's hand making her glare at me. But I shrugged it off and said a maid to make me some coffee. I ate the croissant and had my coffee. Cleaning my hands, I went outside to check on stuffs. And from this, I remembered Mia's cute puppy eyes and pout when she tried to manipulate us with those to let them help with all the preps. But I denied along with everyone with a heavy heart. Of course cause I wanted her to be beside me not because I wanted her to work.

I shook my head and went out to see Varun and Sid already present there guiding the guards and helpers with the stuffs.

"Morning Guys!" I wished them to which they wished me back with Varun's constant whining cause he had to woke up early.

Then I helped them and during our work Hrithik bhaiya joined us.

"God! She irritates me to death!" Hrithik bhaiya groaned.

I smirked and asked, "who? Bhabhi?"

He glared at me and said, "No! Sam! She is more childish than Alia! I went to wake her up and got almost kicked on my face and almost got slapped!"

He said with a horrible expression on his face making me, Sid and Varun burst out laughing. Our laughs cut short by Sam's yelling.

Talk of the devil! And the devil is here!!

Sam's Outfit

"Who even told you to wake me up this early? God! It's so chilled outside today! I am in Mumbai right?" She groggily asked.

I shook my head in amusement and went up to her whilst she cautiously stared at me. I picked her up out of blue making her yelp and she encircled her hands around my neck.

"What are you doing bhaiya?" She asked with wide eyes which had no sleep anymore! *Smirks* Hah! The intelligence of Yuvraj Singhania guys!

Ignoring her constant questions, I made my way towards my car and said a guard to open the door. When he did, I placed a frowning Samaira inside.

"Get some more sleep, Princess!" I said and kissed her forehead!

Of course I did that! I wouldn't want my baby sister to be drowsy all day. She needs proper sleep.

She grinned and kissed my cheeks then throwing her shoes off she curled up on the seat and I bended it over to make her comfortable. Then I closed the door and went back to where I was to see Hrithik bhaiya giving me a questioning stare?!

"What? I won't let anything make my baby sister upset!" I said shrugging.

He shook his head and we went back to our work. After sometime we were done so we left for Shraddha's home from where we'll be going to The Roy's.

07:20AM IST
12B, Antilia
Altamount Road, Cumballa Hill
South Mumbai

I pulled my car in front of a tallest building called Antilia where the love of my life resides with her family. I came out but froze at the sight when I saw Mia hugging a guy tightly whilst he had his arms around her body. I clenched my teeth and shut my eyes to control my anger and stop myself from killing him right here. I clenched my jaw and cleared my throat making them part. But to my utter shock it was just Abhimanyu Vishwas, Mia's cousin. I sighed in relief as I know about him being married and he is her brother too. Yes you're right! I did a background check on Abhimanyu to find he is married to Ahana Randhawa who is currently out of his life and it was all his fault. And he is hell bent to bring the girl back in his life for who he is head over heels.

I felt pity for him cause he did such a mistake which cost him the girl he loves. And I promised myself to never do such mistake and keep Mia always happy and safe by my side.

I noticed her wearing a pastel pink drape cardigan with a white full neck top and blue slouchy jeans. She looked beautiful in her minimal makeup and cause of the cold her nose & cheeks turned slight pink making her look more cute. I gave her a full blown smile making her blush more but she smiled back and greeted all of us.

"Good Morning!" She said blushing whilst tucking her hairs away.

"Good Morning to you too! You're looking beautiful!" I said. And she mumbled a low thank you making me grin at her shyness.

After sometime her parents came and we sat in our respective cars and started our journey to Lavasa. Mia beside the window seat, sat with Sam and Abhimanyu whilst Varun sat beside me on the passenger seat and I drove the car. The windows were open but when I heard Mia sneeze, I pulled the windows on and turned the heater on making her groan.

"Yuvraj! Open the damn windows! I love to see outside and feel the wind on my face whilst I travel!" Mia whined.

"No! You just sneezed! Do you want to catch cold?" I asked whilst looking at her through the rear view mirror.

"But-!" She was about to whine again when Abhimanyu stopped her.

"Yuvraj is right! You don't want to sit inside the tent whilst we all will be enjoying our picnic. Now do you?!" He asked.

"No!" She muttered and leaned on her seat. I shook my head and turned on the music. And the first song to be on air was

Makhna

( A Tribute to SSR )

Yeh bhi na jaane
Woh bhi na jaane
Nainon ke rang naina jaane
Mila jo sang tera
Udaa patang mera
Hawa mein hoke malang

I looked behind from the rear view mirror to see Mia getting visibly relax by listening to the tune and closed her eyes. I smiled a little and turned my focus back at the road.

Jag ki koyi reet na jaane
Main to bas teri huyi deewani
Mila jo sang tera
Udaa patang mera
Hawa mein hoke malang

Main chhod aayi ghar-baar mera
Oh makhna ve makhna
Ab tu hi hai sansar mera
Oh makhna ve makhna
Yeh paagal sa hai pyar mera
Oh makhna ve makhna
Main chhod aayi ghar-baar mera
Oh makhna

I saw Varun doing something on his phone.

Must be work! We haven't gave proper attention to it after coming here!

Main chhod aayi ghar-baar mera
Oh makhna ve makhna
Ab tu hi hai sansar mera
Oh makhna ve makhna
Yeh paagal sa hai pyar mera
Oh makhna ve makhna
Main chhod aayi ghar-baar mera
Oh makhna

I glanced at Sam to see her sleeping peacefully with a slightly opened mouth.

She must be tired! After preparing so many kinds of snacks for everyone even for the guards and helpers. I liked the idea of Mia! She wanted everyone to eat together just like a family does! And that's one of the main reasons for my love. I am head over heels for this girl!!

Teri hi baatein hon
Subah si raatein hon
Jab se mila hai tu
Dil ko mila sukun
Tu hi raah meri, tu hi safar hai
Teri baahon mein ab mera ghar hai

Chain na jaane, dard na jaane
Dil to bas dil ko pehchane
Mila jo sang tera
Udaa patang mera
Hawa mein hoke malang

Then I took a glance at Abhimanyu to see him caressing my girl's hairs with one hand and another hand is holding his phone. He was typing furiously whilst frowning at the phone. I shrugged it off and went back to driving.

Chain na jaane, dard na jaane
Dil to bas dil ko pehchane
Mila jo sang tera
Udaa patang mera
Hawa mein hoke malang

Main chhod aayi ghar-baar mera
Oh makhna ve makhna
Ab tu hi hai sansar mera
Oh makhna ve makhna
Yeh paagal sa hai pyar mera
Oh makhna ve makhna
Main chhod aayi ghar-baar mera
Oh makhna

I took a left turn following Duggu bhaiya's cars whilst other cars were behind me. My phone rang suddenly and I put it on silent mode not wanting to disturb my girl's and Sam's sleep. Then received the call through my Apple earbuds. It was Sid.

*******************
"Hello?"

"Hey Yuvi! Called you to inform that it'll take almost 3 hours so shall we stop somewhere and do our breakfast? Man! I'm hungry. And the delicious smell coming from the back seat is not helping at all!"

"Yeah! We're stopping near Lonavala. There's a Devi temple there. And I told V to inform you. Didn't he inform?!"

"Arrrgghh! No! That moron! Stop your car! I'm going to kill him!"

"Haha no worries dude! Kill him at our stop! Now I'm too hungry to see V dieing!"

"Yeah okay! Bye!"

"Bye!"

********************

I cut the call and glared at V. He gulped.

Must've heard my convo with Sid about killing him!

"Sorry dude! I forgot okay! Come on man insaan hu! And insaan se Galti to Hoti rehti hai!" He said.

Translation -"I'm a human! And Mistakes happens!"

I just shook my head at his dialogue and drove the car. The previous song was over and a new song played.

Tum Ho from Rockstar

Oo.Oho.
Oo.oho ho.
Oo.Oho.

Tum ho.
Tum ho.
Paas mere
Saath mere, Ho tum yoon.
Jitna mehsoos Karoon tum ko, Utna hi paa bhi loon

And it was one of my favourite songs which explained my current feelings quite well.

Tum ho.
Mere liye
Mere liye, Ho tum yoon.
Khud ko mein Haar gaya tumko, Tumko main jeeta hoon

Oo.Oho.
Oo.oho ho.
Oo.Oho.
Tum ho.

I took glances at Mia whilst humming the beautiful song.

Kahin se.
Kahin ko bhi
Aao bewajah chale
Pooche bina kisi se, Hum mile.
Bandishein naa rahin
Koi baaki.
Tum ho.
Tum ho.
Paas mere
Saath mere, Ho tum yoon.
Jitna mehsoos Karoon tum ko, Utna hi paa bhi loon

She's with me. Yeah! my love. My Mia! My life! My heart! My reason to breath! My obsession! My most prized possession! My sanity! My weakness! My strength! My everything!

Oo.Oho.
Oo.oho ho.
Oo.Oho.
Kis tarah.
Cheenega.
Mujhse yeh jahan
Tumhe.
Tum.bhi ho
Kya fikar, Ab hume.

Tum ho.
Mere liye
Mere liye Ho tum yoon.
Khud ko mein Haar gaya tumko, Tumko main jeeta hoon

Oo.Oho.
Oo.oho ho.
Oo.Oho.
Tum ho.

The list of songs went on and so was the drive.

09:43AM IST
Devi Maa Temple, Lonavala
Pune, Maharashtra, 410401

I and the other cars stopped in front of the temple and I came out. Abhimanyu woke up and Mia and they too came out. We all went inside the temple and then had our breakfast behind the temple. Some of the guards had already checked the place and made the arrangements for our seats. And man! There were so many kinds of cuisines. I got to know that Mia made the British, Mexican and Italian cuisine. I had almost everything but in a small quantity as there were many.

As in, Indian- thepla & pickle, American- Eggs Benedict, French- Crepes, Spanish- empanadas, British- Scotch eggs, Mexican- Quesadillas, Italian- Cornetti con panna & tramezzino.

Everything was so good. Especially the Quesadillas made by my Mia! I ate a whole of that only. Wiping my hands with the help of napkins, i made my way towards Mia, who was busy praying in front of the Temple idol of Devi maa. I stood beside her with closed eyes and clasped palms, praying first to help me in winning Mia's heart. Then about my parents and family including Sid and V. I prayed for a happy married life of my best friend Siddharth. Then opened my eyes to see Mia wasn't beside me.

I frowned and went back to the place where everyone was eating but she wasn't there also.

Where did she go?!

All of a sudden, i heard a scream that too of a familiar person. Mia!

"NO! DAAAD! HEEEELPPP!"

"MIA!" I yelled and run towards the woods from where the scream came!

I stopped when I saw Mia was hold by three man who were looking drunk and we're eyeing her lustfully. Blood boiled inside me. I clenched my teeth and jaw. And after twenty seconds the three drunk guys were on the ground whilst I stood in front of My girl who was crying and shaking in fear. She was clutching onto my arm.

I glare at the men on the ground. They were about to counter attack when the guards came and took holds of them. I signalled my head guard and he knew what he has to do.

I turn around and Mia hugged me tight making me freeze at my place. But when I heard her sobs and felt her warm tears on my shirt, i wrapped my arms tightly around her and nuzzled my nose in the crook of her neck.

Thank god! I came in time.

I pulled back and checked her for any injuries. But she shook her head. I sighed and wiped her tears. I pecked her forehead and took her in my embrace again. She relaxed in my arms and then I felt her calm breathing. I pulled back to see her sleeping soundly in my arms. I picked her up in bridal style and went back to the temple where everyone looked tensed. When they saw Mia in my arms they asked me thousands of questions. So I explained everything and after that I took Mia to the car. Placing her inside, I slipped in the driver seat and we all again continued our journey.

11:12AM IST
Lavasa, Pune
Maharashtra, 412107

And finally we are here! In Lavasa! And I was like WOW!!

I decided to wake Mia, Abhimanyu and Sam and then enjoy the view with My girl. So I opened the side of Mia's door and to my utter shock her head fell on my chest. I hold her quickly to prevent any kind of hurt to her.

Looks like she slept placing her head on the window! It must've hurt as the road was quite bumpy to this place from Lavasa. (It's the hill station in Lavasa.)

I mentally noted to scold her later for this and shook her little.

"Mia! Wake up sweetheart! We're here!" I whispered tucking her hairs back.

She shifted a little and then woke up looking at my face I confusion. She looked cute with her frowning sleepy face. Then realisation hit her and she blushed.

I gave her a smile.

"Wake those two up and come out we're here!" I said. She nodded.

Everyone came out and we admired the view from the top.

Welcome To Lavasa
