"Shades Of Love"

Chapter 2

"Congratulations, Uncle," said Samriddhi with a smile.

"Thank you, bacha. Just wait; Reyansh must be coming. Let me introduce you to him, as I remember you haven't met him," said Rudra with a smile.

They were talking when a person came in. He was incredibly handsome; for a second, Samriddhi wasn't able to take her eyes off him.

"Dad," said the person, hugging Rudra.

"Reyansh, congratulations, beta," said his dad, blessing him.

"Namaste, Uncle," said Reyansh, touching Vikas's feet.

"Congratulations, beta," said Vikas with a smile, while Reyansh replied with a "thank you."

"Reyansh, she is Samriddhi, Vikas's daughter, my princess, and Sam, he is my one and only son, Reyansh," said Rudra with a smile, looking at both of them.

"Hi, nice to meet you," said Samriddhi, extending her hand for a handshake, but Reyansh glared for a second, his expression unreadable. He just looked at her and replied with "hi," while Samriddhi felt a sense of embarrassment and yet a hint of curiosity about why this man didn't even offer a handshake. She just glared at him while Reyansh avoided her gaze.

"So, you both are deciding to do a project together," said Rudra with a smile.

"And Reyansh and Samriddhi, you both are going to lead that project," said Vikas with a smile.

Thank you so much, Dad! Samriddhi said, hugging Vikas, while Reyansh looked like he was okay.

They all talked for a while, and soon everyone headed towards their respective homes. Samriddhi, who was lying on her bed, was looking at the ceiling.

"How much attitude that idiot has! I said hi happily, and that idiot didn't even forward his hand for a shake. After all, he is the son of my most favorite uncle," Samriddhi said to herself angrily.

The day went like this. The next day, Samriddhi got up early and came for breakfast.

"Sam, what a surprise! You woke up so early today," said her aunt, with surprise on her face.

"Yeah, actually I need to go to Reyansh's office. Dad told me to come there at sharp 9, and I don't want to be late," said Samriddhi, looking at her watch. She quickly grabbed her breakfast and left, while her aunt looked at the watch.

"But it's only 6 AM," said her aunt from behind, but Samriddhi had already gone.

"What will this girl do till 9 when it is only 6 AM? What will I do? Only her future husband can handle her," Aunt said, and then she started doing her respective work, whereas Samriddhi was driving her car.

**Samriddhi's POV**

Today, I will show that person that Samriddhi Singhania is so perfect at her work. She can do anything to prove herself, I said to myself.
