Author's Note: This is my only unedited book; the style of writing is thus different from what you might have seen in my other books. Compared to them, this book also has much more grammatical mistakes. Hope you enjoy it nevertheless.

"Di, I'm leaving for office!"
Anjali looked up from the table, only to be confused by Akash's baffled state as he hurried to the door.
"What happened?" She asked, concerned just as he was about to leave. "Is everything alright?"
Akash stopped in his tracks, letting out a resigned sigh.
"I wish they were.." he started, dejection lacing from his words, "The company is suffering a lot in Bhai's absence, Di! NK Bhai and Papa have been handling everything alone due to our emotional breakdown, in fact right now also they are there only, trying to control the incurring loses but NK Bhai is still new to all this and Papa is himself sick! They are not able to handle everything alone..."
He pinched the bridge of his nose, closing his tired eyes briefly as he resumed his walk, cursing himself for again acting irrationally and putting the company in danger due to his emotional state.
His brother is already in such a condition and there he was endangering his whole business?!
"For once act mature, Akash!" He gritted to himself as he pulled opened the door to see the person he thought he would never see again, at not where she is standing right now.
He froze momentarily, his eyes widened and mouth hung low, the laptop bag almost slipped from his hand as he looked at Payal standing in front of him.
Bringing down her hand which she raised to ring the doorbell, Payal exhaled sharply, looking at him straight in the eyes with no sighs of being heavily affected. However, her eyes did flicked when she saw his tearing up as he stood there, unable to believe that she was actually there, standing in front of him.
She cleared her throat.
"Kya hum andar aa sakte hai? (Can I come inside?)" Her voice jolted him back to his senses and to sayhe wanted to cry out of happiness, seeing her actually in front of him would be less, but the two tall and muscular men, dressed in 2 piece suit and standing behind her with a straight posture, caught his attention and he frowned.
"Excuse me?" Payal called, snapping her fingers in front of his face, "May I?"
Tearing his eyes from the two stiff faces, he looked at Payal almost in a frantic motion. He shook his head, giving her a sheepish smile and nodded hurriedly, giving her space to enter.
"C..come..Payal.." He said, stoked and overwhelmed as he held her hand, leading her inside.
Anjali who was sitting on the chair, holding her head in despair, looked up hearing some mumbling and sprinted on her feet seeing Payal with Akash.
"Di..di..see..Payal..Payal is here.." Akash said, his eyes brimming with tears of happiness and face reflecting joy as he looked at her, standing besides him.
