As soon as Azlaan reached home, He heared a fits of laughter coming from living room.

"Isn't it supposed to be a partnership meeting". Frowning he entered into the living room.He saw an old man but not so old looking laughing with his father.

He sit beside his father making his presence know with same royal attitude..

Azlaan meet moiz uncle you remember him..he flew all the way from Dehli to Udaipur just to met me.

Azlaan nodded to which Moiz responded with smile.

"You grew up so much...You become more manlier then the last time I saw you". with a pause he continued.
"Abdullah told me about partnership.....Have you met Umar"? he further asked.

"I met him".

"He is looking into our recent company that we are setting up in Norway....If the branch you are gonna open is related to tech then Umar is the one you are dealing with".

He wanted to set up a software company for Ariyan as he gonna complete his masters soon.

Azlaan nodded.... "It's a relief he aleast have to collab with decent man".

His thoughts broken when.

Umar entered into living greeting everyone.

"Abdullah uncle its been a while"......He said while hugging Abdullah....

"Yes maybe 7,8 years.".....Abdullah responded with smile.

He looked at Azlaan and nodded to which other did the same.

After some buisness talks both of the friends decided to go on dinner leaving younger generation at home.

"I should leave as well Umar said while getting up".

Azlaan seems to be bonding with Umar quiet well...He personally liked the boy..... you can say there personalities are exactly opposite to one another, one as calm as ocean and other as short tempered as fire.....this friendship is gonna last for sure...

Where is the restroom Umar asked to which Azlaan called servant and asked him to escort Umar....

After using restroom Umar was walking towards the hallway looking at his phone when.

He crashed into someone....before, that someone would fall he wrapped his arm around her waist studding her.
In a dimly lit corridor He saw her expression..... tightly shut eyes, long lashes and lips that she furiously bit....then his eyes went again towards her eyes...that hid behind the pair of glasses that are unable to hide the adorably innocent expression that certain someone holds.

After staring at her for sometime....realizing there position.... Umar shocked at the realization thinking "what am I even doing".

He awkwardly distanced himself for her and asked "Are you alright miss"?....To which she gave slight nod with her flustered expression...She dashed from corridor muttering a Thank you in whisper.....Umar smiled at her adorably cute expression....and walked towards the living room they were previously sitting on.

They were walking towards mansion exit.

"I will visit dehli soon".... Azlaan said walking beside Umar.

Umar nodded...."Let me know before hand I have to make arrangements".

"Ok" Azlaan responded walking ahead..

They bid there goodbyes and that's how a hectic day for them came to an end...

As soon as Azlaan entered in his room his phone rang...."The person has been caught, Sir What are your orders"?....."I will be there....Till then entertain our guest......We have score to settle"....with a smirk he cut the call.

"Why are you still up this late at night mama "..She asked with concern.

"I was waiting for you".... Abhiha responded while closing the file and tapped on an empty spot beside her indicating her to come and sit.

Natasha sat beside her........Silently......after few minutes of silence.

Abhiha spoke turning towards her..

"Your concerns are right,....that's how all of us women felt when we embark on this beautiful journey...called marriage....Even roses have thorns....so as marraiges...Your concerns are those thorns, but the fear of thorns was never enough to keep us away from rose....and you are my daughter...I know for sure that you are going to do just fine with all the responsibility that your life make u experience....We are all flawed Asha, We all learned from our failure and experiences, Even your Dad and Me.

Abhiha bring her in her warm embrace while patting her shoulder.

."Don't burden your self with the worries of future....let yourself enjoy the beauty of present....we all deserve it.... don't we"?
