"Yeah I'll take care of it, I am not new to business Mr. Parekh, just because i took a sabbatical from work for a while doesn't mean i am rusty with my work, so please stop judging me" I responded to Mr. Parekh after his comments on my way working, to which he seemed perplexed, "Mam that was not my intention, you are good businesswoman but as a person who has been working with your company for soo many years, it was just a suggestion" he responded back with a fear in his voice.
"Yeah doesn't seem much like a suggestion" I said annoyingly. He left the room without any more arguments, and I was once again alone with my thoughts. It's been 6 months since Vansh died or at least that's what everyone says, he was very much alive until I heard someone talk to him that day, HE LEFT VANSH BECAUSE HE COULDN'T WAIT or more precisely shot him, he was being taken to the hospital when the ambulance skidded on the muddy road because of the rain that day and fell from a hill top, we eventually found his body, i couldn't even see him for the last time.
I was unconscious through the entire rituals, didn't even see him last time, my last memory of him was driving away for work, maybe it's better i didn't see him, i don't know if i regret it or not.
Vansh's family has become my family and they are taking care of me as their own, but how much ever they do, they still can't fill the void Vansh left in my heart.
My chain of thoughts were broken when i suddenly heard a knock on my door. "Come in" i said wiping the tears which i didn't even know were running down my face. "Bhabhi, am i disturbing you?" Reyansh asked peeking into through the door. "Of course not, come in" i said politely and with a warm smile, wondering how long will I be able to keep up with this charade of not feeling anything.
"I booked the flight tickets for NYC , you are leaving this weekend" he informed me and kept the ticket on my desk. "Great and are you sure you will be able to handle the work here for a month or so?"
"Bhabhi come on yaar! I think i am a grown up now, who can handle these things, you go to NYC bag that deal and prove everyone wrong that Vansh bhai was not wrong in making you the CEO of this company" he said reassuring me which i didn't even know i needed but felt good to hear it.
"What about..." before i could finish my sentence, Reyansh closed my mouth with his palm and said "I'll handle everything and everyone, go and chill, and while you are bagging that deal, don't forget to take some time out for yourself also, you especially need it after what happened."
"Ok.." i said defeatedly and left the office to go back home, after what happened with Vansh, it didn't feel right to stay in that house even though everyone asked me to stay back, i couldn't, so for a change i left the house and moved into a new penthouse near the office which helps very little in reminding me of Vansh, of course it was a house we were going to be using when we wanted some time out from our daily life...
1 YEAR AGO....

"Vansh this place is beautiful, but remind me why we are buying it again?" Riddhima asked Vansh with a grin on her face. "Of course, i mean we live in such a huge house, with sooo many family members, what if we want some time alone with each other? That's why i bought this house, no one knows about except us, this can be our little escape place" vansh said with a widest grin ever.
"And why would we want to escape our family?" Riddhima asked him and vansh hugged her from behind and whispered into her ear "There a few things that i wish to do to you, which seem inappropriate in a house where anyone can interrupt us" and he pulled her into a longing kiss.
"Vansh!!" riddhima protested and hit him on his shoulder, both of them breaking into a cute banter.

I opened the lock of the house and walked in feeling tired as hell and just the need to jump into shower and then onto the bed. As soon as I am done showering, i walked back into my room drying my hair when I see my phone buzzing continuously, I pick it up to read the messages, not exactly messages but news about our company,
"RAISINGHANIA COMPANY FOR SALE??"
"LOOKS LIKE WOMEN CAN'T HANDLE IT ALL AFTER ALL"
"VANSH IS TURNING IN HIS GRAVE BECAUSE OF HIS WIFE'S DECISIONS"
"IS RAISINGHANIA'S THE EXPLORE IN NEED OF A NEW CEO??"
"WHO ARE THE COMPETITORS IN THE LINE TO BUY THE RAISINGHANIA COMPANY"
"REYANSH RAISINGHANIA- A GOOD PERSON?"
My heart was bursting more and more by the minute as I read the headlines. Who would spread such rumors about our company, and why would they do it? I didn't need to think about it much. It was about time vultures started picking on our company, something they couldn't do when Vansh was alive. Now, the mantle of taking care of this situation falls on me. It's up to me to slap these people in the face for spreading this news. The only way to do that is by bagging the NYC deal and making our way into the international market again. They should know that they have not only messed with Vansh's wife but also a businesswoman who is not weak and won't hesitate to fight back!
