Hearts Collide: The dance of billionaires

The shadows of past

♡♡♡
Mumbai's vibrant daylife twinkled like diamonds against the blue canvas of the sky. Yet, within his opulent penthouse, Aryaveer Oberoi's world remained stood in a melancholic haze. The sole heir to the illustrious oberoi groups , his life was a complex rainbow woven from threads of luxury, duty and something that he couldn't figure out.
He had a younger brother " Vidyut oberoi" and a younger sister " Mayra oberoi". He was the eldest of the two and hence the elder child was bound to the responsibilities at a young age.
The idea of becoming an heir for his father's business and being the perfect idol for his siblings was dumped in his mind at a very young age.

Soft morning light danced across his chiseled features, illuminating the sharp jawline, prominent cheekbones and piercing brown eyes. His stylishly messy black hair framed his face, slightly tousled from slumber. The crisp white shirt accentuated his broad shoulders, while dark jeans hugged his athletic legs.
The sky shined with a brightness as the blue colour canvas boasted about its puffy white cotton alike clouds. The fragrance of the moist soil, fresh cutted grass and dewy earth spread everywhere like a trapped bird fly into the sky. Morning breeze caressed his skin as if trying to heal the wounds of his heart.

" Do you love me or the idea of us?"
" I was never the priority "
Do you love me or the idea of us?"
" I was never the priority "
Do you love me or the idea of us?"
" I was never the priority "
Do you love me or the idea of us?"
" I was never the priority "

His jaw clenched suppressing emotions, his calm demeanor instantly changed to panic, the calm chiseled features clenched in anger and something he just couldn't convey.

"Do you love m- suddenly the door swung open as Mayra entered the room breaking the heavy silence.

"Bhaiyaa" she said as she walked towards him, her smile and energy broke the harshness of the situation.

" Yes doll" Aryaveer's lips curved into a strained smile, hiding the turmoil brewing inside him. The weight of memories, and regret threatened to overwhelm him.
Veiling the fact that those words haunted him even after so many years, they left the same impact on him as it did on that day.
As an elder brother, he had to hide the emotions brewing inside him, he couldn't beg his siblings to erase those words from his mind, to vanish those memories.
● How could he tell them that he was trapped, trapped in a never ending loop of emotions?
● HOW can he tell them that he want an elder sibling too?????
An elder siblings who became the backbone of everyone, who will become his backbone ?

"Bhaiya, my college friends are planning a trip to Goa and I really want to join them. Please, please let me go. I promise that I will take care of myself"
Mayra fidgeted her fingers in nervousness.
" you know you are my most favorite brother"

"Most favourite brother huh? are you sure? because yesterday you said the same to vidyut to get his Maggie"
Aryaveer chuckled, his lips turning into a playful smile as he teased her. Mayra's expressions faltered a bit as if someone has exposed her true colors.

" Bhaiya, that was different, it was just an act, you are my ultimate favourite brother " she tilted her head trying to show her puppy eyes.
Bonus tip: Aryaveer can't resist his sister's puppy eyes.

" fine, you can go for your Goa trip."

"Yaay-
"listen, you will have to update me everyday and you have to be responsible ok, otherwise no trip" his playfull teasing turned into a serious tone. " yess bhai, I love youuu" Mayra's nervous state vanished into a triumph smile on her face as if she has passed the most difficult test of her life. She squealed in excitement as she ran towards the door.
" wait- Bhaiya, I came to call you for breakfast, it's ready, come down fast"
She said as she ran outside the room in excitement.

As the ball of sunshine, left the room, the earlier darkness seemed to restore itself, like shadows reclaiming their territory. The brief, vibrant interlude faded, leaving Aryaveer immersed in contemplation.
Soft morning light, now muted, highlighted the room's subdued tones. The silence, once broken by Mayra's laughter, returned with renewed intensity.
Aryaveer's thoughts, stirred by Mayra's presence, retreated.

♡Oberoi niwaas ♡

Meera Oberoi, Aryaveer's Mother and the lady owner of oberoi groups, was standing in the living room directing the household staff.
She wore a beautiful emerald green silk sari. It shined softly and has delicate golden patterns. The sari perfectly wrapped around her, showcasing her elegance. The matching green blouse has sparkling gems. Her simple gold jewelry completes the classic look.

"Rukmini, ensure the flowers are fresh. Today's lunch will be served in the garden."
"Kamala, polish the silverware"
Her sharp eyes inspected every detail, her expectations high.
"Vijay, take the Mercedes for washing, aryaveer has an important meeting today"she gave orders as the staff hurried and bustled around the house.
Her gaze drifted to the staircase as she sighed.

"Itna pareshan kyu hai aap,madam"
[ why are you so worried, madam ?]
Rajveer oberoi, Aryaveer's father and the owner of oberoi groups. He wore a tailored navy blue suit that showed off his strong physique. A crisp white shirt and silver tie added a touch of sophistication. A slim gold watch on his wrist hinted at his success. He had a commanding presence and exuded confidence - a true leader in his field.

"bass veer ki tension hai" [ im just worried about veer]
She said as her face got dull with a worried expression.
"sabkuch thik ho jaayega, aap chinta na kare"
[ everything will be fine, dont worry]

"How?It's been three years and he's still stuck on that day. I'm worried about his mental health. He's super quiet now and barely talks to anyone. He is 27 and I've no clue how to bring up the topic of marriage without triggering him."

"Maybe he is guilty of his actions, he will be fine, just don't worry"
He tried to reassure his wife, but her maternal instincts wouldn't allow her to relax. His words of comfort failed to ease her concerns, and she remained deeply worried."
" three years-
" i know, three years" He sighed
" ok, i will talk to aryaveer about this hmm?"
Rajveer reassured her, his hands on her shoulders, trying to ease her worries and comfort her. He knew that she was right, he knew that the situation was quite complex and it had to be dealt with patience.
"Aryaveer is already quite wise, we just need to show the right direction to him. Dont worry, everything will be fine, i will talk to him"
You are rig-
Down the staircase, Aryaveer's footsteps echoed softly. His dark brown hair is stylishly messy, framing piercing brown eyes accentuated by thick lashes. Chiseled facial features, including a sharp jawline, nose and defined cheekbones, complete his captivating look. Elegant in tailored black suit.
He walked up to them as he touched Rajveer and Meera's feet.
"Khush raho beta" [ stay happy]
"I have an urgent meeting today so i will eat in the office" Aryaveer's gaze locked on the watch as he said
" um Mayra-
"Don't worry, Vidyut will take care" He nodded and sighed in relief as he walked down the path of living room and descended towards the main door.
"Arya"
He stopped on his tracks as he heard his father's voice.
" ji, papa?" [ yes, dad]
" Tumse kuchh zaroori baat karni hai, shaam ko jaldi ghar aa jaana"
[ i need to have an important talk with you, come home early]
" zyaada zaroori hai kya?"
[ is it very important?]
" haan" [ yes]
His subtle nod proceeded into his fluid exit. He slipped into a waiting mercedes , its black finish glistening like polished onyx,before gliding smoothly away.
