There was a room filled with highly reputed business man, it was conference room, the people inside were discussing about the meeting that is held and suddenly there entered a man with a cold and stern look, dressed in black suit, he's aura screams dangerous, a guy following him, as he entered the room turned silent, one of them stood, "welcome Mr. Sanskar Maheshwari" he forward his hand with a smile, but all he got is a nod, he felt embarassed and sat down, a guy was controlling his chuckle, the guy who came with Sanskar (Mr.P.A/Aman) looked at him and signed him to be quite, he nodded, Sanskar looked at Aman, he nodded, "lets start the meeting" said in a professional tone, the meeting started, everyone were involved but there was a lady who was continuously staring Sanskar from the time he entered, the meeting got finished, the guy (handshake wala) looked at sanskar, "SM when do you want to sign the papers I'll get it ready" said happily, Sanskar was quite for sometime, "the deal is cancelled" making everyone gasp, the guy who chuckling before, he shaked his head knowingly, he know his bestfriend (it's Vikram), and Aman was confused, everything seemed good then why his boss is cancelling the deal, the guy stood up shocked, "but why you agreed for the deal before and now why are you cancelling it" asked angrily, "firstly watch your tone, and second the most important thing is I don't like unprofessionalism, your partner doesn't seem interested in the meeting or the deal, she was busy drooling over so the deal is cancelled" he stood up and went off without waiting for any replies, the lady was embarrassed, the guy was furious, he glared at the lady, everyone left the room. Sanskar was walking out, Aman and Vikram ran behind him, "not again Sanskar, acchi khasi deal thi bhai, tune deal cancel kiya just because she was staring at you" said giving him a unbelievable look, and Aman who was listening to him, Sanskar stopped and looked at both, "you don't have anything to say" said looking at Aman, "no sir I mean I know there must a reason" said hesitated, Vikram looked at him, he put his hand around his shoulder, "Abey tu kitna dar tha hai yaar isse, bas kar kha nahi jayega woh even though harkate aise hi phir bhi" said playfully, Sanskar shaked his head, "tu bol bhai deal cancel karne ka reason" asked Vikram looking at him, "andar jo reason bola suna nahi tune, I hate unprofessionalism jis company ke owners mein hi discipline nahi hai aise logo ke saath mujhe kaam nahi karna, there should always be work ethics which they lack" said firmly, his both friends know it sounds a lil weird but it's important so they nodded in understanding, they left to their office. He entered the office to find a man talking in a phone, as soon as he saw the trio entering he ended the call and looked at them, "deal cancel karne ki wajah" asked in a casual tone, "wow uncle kya fast source hai aapki, hamare pahunch ne se pehle khabar pahunch gayi, waise deal cancel isliye hui kyunki wahan ek haseen mohtarma aapke nawabzaade ko thaad rahi thi or inko laga they lack professionalism so deal cancel" said Vikram dramatically making his dad and Aman burst laughing, Sanskar was making faces, he smacked his head, "dad aapne medicine li" asked a lil softly, "Haan beta leliya ek toh tumhari behen doctor banke ghar walon ka hi ilaaj karti rehti hai or ek tum, tum dono bhul rahe ho I'm your parent not you both" said huffing, he shaked his head, he looked at Aman, "coffee" said and went inside his cabin, he nodded and went to get, Vikram looked at Ram, "ek baat bataye uncle yeh aapka khadoos beta kab normal hoga" asked narrowing his eyes, he hit his shoulder lightly chuckling, "hoga beta zaroor hoga", "hope issi janam mein ho" said sighing, everyone want him to be like early, who used to smile whole heartedly. Sanskar went in cabin emersed himself in work, after having a coffee, its the only thing which keeps him active all the day, he's addictive to black coffee, he drinks atleast 5-6 times a day, his sister Uttara tries a lot to change his habbit before it turn addiction but nothing worked and now it's turned addiction. He was so involved in work to loose the track of time as usual, Aman entered his room, "Sir it's late", Sanskar looked at his watch realised it's quite late everyone left, he nodded, took his things left after bidding Aman bye. Aman went to his apartment. Sanskar reached his home, which is a mansion, he entered inside to find his mom waiting for him, she was talking with Gopi kaki and Ghewar kaka (their house help, they don't have kids, they love sanskar and Uttara like their own children, they are working from very long), "lo Chote baba aagaye" said Ghewar kaka, Kaki went to bring water, kaka took his bag to keep in room, "kaka rehne dijiye aap ko kitni bar kaha yeh main kar donga" took his bag back, he doesn't like it as he don't treat them like servant noone does, they are family, kaka smiled, his mom looked at him angrily, he knew again he's late now be ready for scolding, "bhaisa apne baba ko bol dijiye jaa ke muh hath thoke aaye, main khana garam kar rahi ho" said his mom giving him a glare,he shaked his head knowingly, kaki gave him water with a smile, he drank "thank you kaki" said and went to his room, he kept his bag aside changed and got freshenup quickly and rushed down . His mom was arranging food, he went and back hugged her, "sorry mom" muttered in a soft voice her anger melted, she can never stay on him for long, he's her most precious possession, first kid is always special and if it's a boy then more special to mother's same like daughter is more special and close to father, he loves her the most, she is he's world. She turned to him, patted his cheek with a smile, kaka and kaki looked at the scene with a smile, both got seated, she served him, "mom aapne khana khaya" asked eating, "Haan kha liya, tumhare papa khana khake sogaye hai or choti kamre mein padhai kar rahi hai", he nodded, "kaka, kaki aap ne khana khaya" asked looking at them, "Haan baba humne khana khaya aap ka intezar kar rahe the" said kaka, "mom why do you wait for me, aap pata hai mujhe late ho jata hai, aap itne late tak jaagi rehti ho", "toh tum jaldi aaya karo taki main wait nah karu", "bhabhi sa ab aapko baba ka intezar na karna pade toh baba ka byaah kara do" said kaki in a teasing tone, but Sanskar shaked his head, "Haan Kittu, mujhe agar wait nahi karna chahta toh shaadi kar le toh teri biwi intezar karegi tera" said agreeing to kaki, "mom please not again mera hogya, good night mom" said getting up kissed her forehead, "good night Kaka,kaki" said and went to his room. His mom looked at his retreating figure and sighed sadly, "bhabhi sa chinta na karo baba maan jawenge" said kaka, "haan bhabhisa" said kaki, "pata nahi woh din kab aayega jab mera kittu phir se pehle jaise hasta muskurata dekhega" said her eyes welled up, kaka and kaki too felt sad, they just prayed to God for their son's happiness. Sanskar saw his file lying on the table, he took it and opened his closet, kept it safely, he's eyes fell on the guitar, he forward his hand to touch it but some memories flashed before his eyes,he jerked away, he closed his eyes, withdraw his hand immediately closed the closet, walked away, stood at the window looking outside. He kept glancing out,he was lost in gazing in the moon, he's phone beeped with notification of message bringing him out of trance, he walked to take his phone, Aman message him to remind about a meeting, he replied with 'okay', he looked at the empty water bottle, he went down filled water, he saw Uttara's room light on, she's still studying till late, he entered her room to tell her to sleep, found her sleeping keeping her head on book, he smiled at his lil sister, she's studious, he removed her specs carefully carried her to bed gently made her laid on bed trying not to break her sleep pulled blanket on her, caressed her hairs pecked her forehead.No matter how much he tease her but it's the fact that he loves his baby sister a lot. Came back to his room lie on bed slept offing the lights, he's room is of grey and white seems boring but that was what he's life is right now boring and dull. He woke up morning around 7:30, he went to gym which is on the same floor, he workout for half an hour and got bathed, he was dressed left down stairs to find his family on the dining table, "good morning" said, others too wished him back, he sat beside his mom, she served him, "bhai you know aaj subah dad ko kisi ladki ne phool diya hai"said his sister, he looked at his dad, his mom was looking displeased, "kaun ladki dad" asked hiding his teasing tone, "stop it guys, Sujata woh bacchi thi apni princess ki umar ke or sirf mujhe nahi sabko phool de rahi thi" said his dad trying to calm his wife, she looked at him, "par sab ko kyu dad" asked Uttara, "I don't know princess, sab ko phool deke good morning wish kar rahi thi" said his dad, "weird" muttered Sanskar to himself, his sis giving a thinking look placing her finger on her chin and said "interesting", "yeh sab chodo aaj shaam woh Aggrawal ke yahan party mein jana hai" said his mom, "what party I'm not coming" said his sister immediately, she hates such business parties, her definition of party means dance,music,food and unlimited fun. Her mom shaked her head on her obvious answer, "koi bahana nahi chalega chup chap chalo" said sternly, she looked at her dad, her saviour but he too shrugged his shoulder not helping her, then she looked at her brother who was having his breakfast silently smiling at his sister's drama, "aap sirf mujhe hi kyu bolte ho bhai ko bhi toh bolo agar unka office hai toh meri bhi padhai hai" said defending herself trying to escape, "choti, kittu ka meeting hai usne pehle hi bol diya hai toh ab sochna or bolna kam karo or nashta khatam karo"said her mom, she huffed sadly having no escape, her brother give a teasing smile to her, she passed a glare to him. He stood up to leave after bidding them bye, he walked to the living hall, "bhai stop" came Uttara's voice, he turned to her, she gave him a anger glare, he raised his eyebrow, "don't give me that look, aapne vitamins ki tablet li" said like a strict doctor, he cursed himself, he always forgets, "stop cursing yourself or yeh lo" she gave him tablet, and passed him water, he gulped gave back, "thank you chutki" and ruffled her hairs, she pecked his cheek, "bye" and ran inside to get her bag for college, he too left to his office, his parents saw the scene smiling, prayed to God for keeping their kids always happy.
