Destined Once Again for You

CHAPTER 1

After five years:

Pallavi came out of the airport with her daughter Anu. She was coming back to Mumbai after a long time but she felt like the city is still the same. But she has changed a lot. Now she was not the same naive girl who decided to go away from this place. She is now a mother; a strong independent lady.

"Mamma look. Ro is there . . " Anu said in pointing towards a particular direction as she spotted Rohan coming towards their side. As soon as he saw her, he took her in his arms and gave her a kiss. He then looked at Pallavi and smiled.

"How was the journey Pallavi?" he enquired.

"It was fine Rohan. How is everyone?"

"They are fine. Maa and Papa are out of station for few days. They told me that they will come back soon to meet their angel." He told her, as they moved towards the parking space.

Pallavi and Rohan kept their luggage in the trunk of the car post which Pallavi and Anu sit in the front seat while Rohan started driving.

There was a brief silence among them. Rohan wanted to ask her a thousand different questions but decided that he must take his own time. He saw that Pallavi was lost in her thoughts and he was indeed right. The place reminded her about him. . .the same person who once left her and broke her heart.

Raghav closed another file and moved to the next one. For the entire world he was a successful businessman. His growth from the founder of a simple start-up to the owner of  one of the biggest firms in the world was truly incredible. It was his brain and hard work that made him who he is today. He had got perfect looks, wealth and what not . .but he was never happy. 

He knew that he was a loser. He lost the only person he ever wanted. If only he could go back and change his decision. . .

He stood up and looked outside the window. He closed his eyes and remembered the smile that captivated him years ago.

Come back Pallavi. I promise you I won't let you leave this time. I won't make any mistakes this time . . .

 Unable to bear the memories he decided to go out for a while.

He was sitting in the open-space cafe sipping his black coffee. It was her favorite hang out space and they used to escape from their friend circle only to come here and meet each other secretly. 

Those were the days of his life; the time when he had actually started to live his happiness. Life was so perfect for him then. But now . . .he lost his happiness. 

He sighed and looked away only to see a lady sitting in the front seat of a black SUV, on the other side of the road; they were struck in the traffic jam. He blinked twice to confirm that it was indeed her.

"Pallavi?" he said out of shock. He know that she didn't noticed her. She seemed to lost in her thoughts. He couldn't believe his eyes and almost  got up when he noticed a baby girl sitting in her lap. She was looking at the view outside with certain kind of curiosity. 

He was about to walk towards that direction when the road got cleared and the car moved away from him leaving him behind along with his thoughts.

Was it really her? If so, who was that kid? 

She was looking so different. She was wearing a sky blue colored saree and with that long hair, she was looking breathtaking.

Raghav felt a kind of peace, that he was searching for so long. He remembered all their moments for a while. He stood up with a kind of determination. He placed a five hundred rupees noted on the table and walked towards his car.

As soon as he got in, his eyes became more dark. 

Where were you Pallavi? I was searching for all my life and now, you finally decided to show up. Come back to your Raghav now Pallavi!

He was determined that he is not ready to loose her anymore. But what bothered him was the thought that Pallavi being not his anymore.

"If that kid is her daughter then . .it means that she is now  . . married?" the thought alone disturbed him. He decided that to find out more about her presence in Mumbai.

"Destiny was cruel to us Pallavi. But you know what? Raghav Rao is not a saint either. If I decided to achieve something, I will make sure that it will be mine. 

And you know what? Now, I only want you. If that means I have to snatch you from someone else, I will do that too."

The car entered the premise of a huge house. Pallavi and Rohan came out of the car. Rohan instructed the servants to take the luggage and place it inside and then, he took Anu in his arms. 

"So baby, how's Mumbai?"

"Good. Ro . .are we gonna stay here now?" she asked him with curiosity.

"Ha baby! We will be staying here with Mimi and Pepe." Anu couldn't be more happy and she hugged Rohan tightly. Rohan too reciprocated the hug. But as soon as he turned towards Pallavi's side he knew that she was bothered with something.

"Pallavi?" he called her gently.

She looked at him and he knew that she was disturbed.

"What happened?"

"Nothing Rohan. Just that I feel like something is going to happen."

"Hey Relax. We all are here right. Maa and Papa will also come in few days. Now I will be with you guys. I will make sure that nothing will happen to you and Anu." Hearing this she smiled at him.

And he found himself lost in her smile. She was the only girl who had that power on him and he always wanted to tell her what he felt for her. But this time, he knew that it will be a new beginning for both of them as well as for their Anu.

But what he didn't knew was that someone from past is gonna come soon to alter their present and future.
