CHAPTER 1

“And I thank you very much ladies and gentlemen. Enjoy the party”. I descended the stairs and soon hoards of guests surrounded to congratulate me. The new merger of AR Designs has broken records and become a tremendous success raising the market value of the company.

“Mr.Raizada !” that was Mr. Ashok Sethi of Sethi fashion house. And Mr. Sethi wanting to talk to me anything other than business is dangerous. He’s hounding me for few weeks now. My thoughts were broken when someone tapped my right shoulder. Short stout body, expensive leather shoes, rolex watch and pristine Armani suit with bald head. That was Mr. Sethi  with his only daughter Arushi Sethi, a similarly short, slightly on the plumpy side with copper colored hair, in a short green dress.

“Hello Mr. Raizada, I’m very glad to meet you. Congratulations on the success of your new merger. This is my daughter Arushi. She was very eager to meet you. Dear why are you silent now? Where has all the excitement to meet ASR gone now?”. Arushi hissed a silent papa from the side. I could say she was shy and nervous from her expressions. I know his intentions and I’m nowhere interested in it. But I didn’t have the heart to be rude to the young girl. She must be hardly 20 to 21 years old.

I gave a gentle nod and tried to move out from that spot but Mr. Sethi was in no mood to leave me. And I was running out of excuses to steer the conversation from where he was taking.

And then she came, my savior, the only woman in my life. She has that natural grace, that charismatic aura which attracts men and women for that matter. My friend, my well-wisher, my partner and my family. She oozes grace and poise, no less than someone with a royal tag. She is not too tall or too short, she is just as tall as me. With her lean figure, long jet black hair and blue eyes with her wheatish complexion, she looked gorgeous in her golden brown backless party gown. I can see she is already having a fan following of men, albeit unknown to her. And its not like she would care any less if she knows. Jhali hai vo. Kisi ki khadar nahi. She cares for absolutely no one except her family.

I can see she has already seen me and was about to pass me giving me a slight smile, when I held her wrist and pulled her to me. “Mr. Sethi, this is someone very special to me. Meet Ms.Aarti, my wife-to-be”.
