Author's pov

Nayan was shocked and was feeling guilty now that he pushed away the proposal not knowing that it was jaagruti. Only if he would have accepted it when she send him the proposal they would have started long ago. He was still in his parent's room.

"What happened, beta? Why do you look so shocked and pale?" His maa asked.

"What a stupid I am! I should have atleast meet her to know about the proposal then I would have known it was her" he said with a sad and guilty expression.

"Whom are you talking about? What proposal?" His maa asked sensing the sadness in his eyes and voice.

"Maa, it's Ruchi. She sent the company a proposal 2 years ago but I never looked at it knowing her personality and strictness by the rumours. I shouldn't have believed it."

"Tech expert hone ka kya fayda jab tu apni hi girlfriend nhi dhundh sakta" his maa said taunting him. He looked at her with a betrayed expression. (What's the point of being a tech expert when you can't even find your own girlfriend)

"Arey, tech expert hu tantrik nahi ki pata chal jaega kaise bhi. I tried finding her but some idiot protected her informations and location." He said annoyingly. His father was quite and looking here and there but him. (I'm a tech expert not an tantrik to find her anyhow)

"Wait, you all knew she was here all the time still didn't even bother to inform me that she is safe and sound here." He continued confronting his parents.

"Mujhe inhone mana Kiya tha" his maa said hurriedly blaming his father. They looked at him waiting for his answer which never came out of his mouth. (He forbid me to tell you)

"What? Why are you two looking at me like this?" The poor mafia king asked them acting clueless.

"Why did you hide her information and location and didn't even tell me when she was infront of your eyes the whole time? And I was going crazy finding her." Nayan argued with him for the first time.

"Ok let me tell you. She has memory loss you know that now. What should I have told you. And her life was in danger. I couldn't risk disclosing her identity." Kk explaine making him more curious with unfamiliar nervousnes.

"What do you mean by danger. And I heard about uncle and aunty. What exactly happened then" he asked curiously.

"That's not my place to tell you about her personal experiences. She wouldn't like it If anyone knows about it. You should ask her when she is enough comfortable and have enough trust on you" kk said caressing his head lovingly. He knows how much he loves her since ages ago. But he couldn't even minimise the emotions his son holds in his heart all these years.

Nayan stopped talking to anyone he only answered people if they say something that year. But he went abroad not wanting his family to be sad about his behaviour and conditions. He tried to find her in every way possible but couldn't since his own father was protecting her.

"Moreover she is nothing like she was before except her face. And she doesn't remember any single person whom she met in the college not even sushant who was like her brother." Nalini said making some sense into Nayan.

"How can someone change so drastically just because she lost her memories?" He asked feelings totally confused and dejected.

"She has gone through so much. Try to win her heart again then only she can tell you about this. Only if you can handle her. Even I can't win against her. She is hard to please. Aur tu to bacha hai."  He said highlighting the words are the end making fun of him. (You are still a kid)
And Nayan looked at him with done expression.
