The soft chime of my alarm pulled me from a restless sleep. I blinked at the ceiling, letting the familiar feeling of solitude settle in. The first light of dawn filtered through the curtains, casting a gentle glow around my bedroom. Another day, another set of challenges.I pushed back the covers and slid out of bed, my feet touching the cool wooden floor. Heading to the bathroom, I glanced at my reflection in the mirror. The face staring back at me was that of a woman who bore the weight of an empire on her shoulders. Agarwal Industries depended on me, and there was no room for weakness.
After a quick shower, I dressed in a sharp navy suit, my armor for the day. As I fastened the cufflinks, my thoughts drifted to the evening ahead. The family gathering at Agastya's house to finalize the wedding date for Yuvaan and Sara. I was both eager and apprehensive. Family dynamics were always tricky, and with Agastya’s bubbly nature, it was bound to be an eventful evening.
Heading downstairs, I found Priya already waiting with a fresh cup of coffee and a tablet loaded with today’s schedule.
“Good morning, Priya,” I said, taking the coffee.
“Good morning, ma’am. You have a board meeting at 10, followed by a lunch with the investors, and the family gathering in the evening,” she summarized efficiently.
I nodded, sipping the hot coffee. “Anything else I need to be aware of?”
“Agastya called earlier. He wanted to confirm the decorations for tonight,” she added, her tone professional but with a hint of amusement.
“Of course, he did,” I muttered, a small smile tugging at my lips. Agastya’s enthusiasm was contagious, even if it was often misplaced.
Agastya’s Perspective
The garden was a fairyland of lights, each tree twinkling like a dream. Tara and I had worked tirelessly to get everything just right for Raj and Priya's big moment. As I finished stringing up the last of the fairy lights, I looked over at Tara, who was arranging flowers with her usual precision.“Tara, agar tum itna concentrate karogi na, toh phool dar jayenge,” I teased, my voice light.
She shot me a look of mild annoyance. “Agastya, focus on your work. Humein yeh perfect banana hai for Raj and Priya.”
