Aditya arrived at the office, the moment he stepped through the doors, he was greeted by his employees who all wished him a good morning. Aditya nodded in acknowledgement and made his way to his cabin without saying a word.  Throughout the day, Aditya surprised everyone by not shouting at any of his employees, something he was infamous for. They didn't know, that their cold and ruthless boss had fallen in love with a girl. The reason for Aditya's change in behavior was none other than Aaradhya, the girl who had captured his heart. Thoughts of her filled his mind, making him smile unknowingly as he worked through his tasks with dedication.  As the day came to an end, Aditya decided to go to Aaradhya's place to pick her up.  He drove to her house.

Aradhya was running around with a remote in her hand, followed by Arjun who was trying to catch her. Their father watched the playful scene with a smile on his face. Just as Aditya entered the hall, Aradhya collided with him, almost falling over. He quickly caught her, their eyes meeting for a brief moment before the awkwardness set in.
Aradhya apologized profusely, feeling embarrassed by the situation.

Aradhya: Sorry Aditya. I'm extremely sorry. I didn't know u came.

Aditya reassured her that it was okay, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips which was noticed by none.

Aditya: U love to bump on me everytime Aradhya.
Manik: Sit Aditya. Aradhya give him something. She bumped already on u?
Aditya(Chuckled): Yes uncle. The first time she met me like that only.
Arjun: That's why I always say, keep your eyes open when u walk.

Aditya felt a strange sensation in his stomach. It was as if butterflies had taken residence inside him, fluttering with the scene playing inside his mind.

Aradhya: Stop teasing me Arjuuu.
She whined & hit on his arm. Aditya too smiled. She went inside and came with homemade prepared juice. Aditya didn't refuse this time knowing she prepared it. He drank the juice & said "Thank u" handling her the glass.

Aditya:Mm..Aradhya all fine? Did u pack everything needed? Do u need to buy anything?

Aradhya: No Aditya. I packed everything. Don't need to buy anything further.
Manik: Come Aditya. Have dinner.
Aditya: No uncle. Mom must have prepared for us.(turning towards Aradhya) Had ur dinner Aradhya?  If u want u can have here itself.

Aradhya thought for sometime that how could they eat when Aditya don't eat here.

Aradhya: No Aditya. I'll just serve them & come. Ummm... U are sweating, come to my room I'll turn on the AC then.
Manik: I too didn't notice. Sorry for the inconvenience Aditya.
Aditya: No problem uncle.
Manik was astonished by Aditya's  humble behavior. Arjun was no less.

Aradhya: Appa (dad), Arjuuu go to the dining hall. I'll come.

Aditya was happy that she noticed his sweat.
Manik & Arjun went as she said. She took Aditya to her room which was in the first floor. Arjun's room also had AC but she knew Arjun don't like someone to enter his room . Aditya obeyed her words like a kid & silently followed her.
They entered her room which was so neat & clean. The Lavender fragrance was poking his nose giving him a pleasant feel.  She turned on the AC.

Aradhya: um...Aditya sit on the bed.
Aditya did as she said. He looked around the room. There were a lot of photos hanging on the wall. The pics were almost Aradhya with family, her solo pics & childhood pics.
He smiled taking a photo nearby the table.
