"KARAN?"

His thoughts were disturbed by his very own mother, Rakhi Luthra. Even though, he did many reckless blunders in his life ― Rakhi Luthra supported his younger son. At first, their family, everyone, even Rakhi was so angry and pissed at him, for the mistake he had done, seven years ago. But, as they say 'time mends everything,' his family forgive him and his mother was and still pissed at him, for breaking up with her favourite Preeta Arora.

"Yes, Mum? What happened?" He asked, moving aside, giving his mother place beside him on the couch, he was sitting. He had come to London for a meeting with Rathore and co's. Rahul Rathore, his best friend and his well-wisher is the CEO of the company and they were planning a joint venture, along with other well-known company. His mother can't leave Karan, so; she accompanied him on this thirteen days trip.

His brothers, Rishab Luthra and Sameer Luthra were dealing with another venture with malhotra limited in Calfornia. These three brothers are knowns as brother goals, all over the world.

Rakhi sighed and placed her warm palm on his cheek and caressed his cold cheek. Karan sighed slowly and smiled softly at his mother. He knew he did a fault ― but the Luthra's ego were more, than their relationships. "Ah, Karan, I'm so happy we'll be spending time together after such a long period. And, well, this room looks so good."

He chuckled at his mother's enthusiasm. She was the only light flickering in his, dark world. And even though; he deny it everytime ― he knew that his mother's world is himself and he did everything to dissapoint her, plus he know that even though, he's dissapointment ― his mother will support him, no matter what. He smiled at the thought and shook his head in disbelief.

"Mum, I can't still believe ― you and me are going to live together alone for thirteen days! Oh god!" He exclaimed, with a dramatical sigh. His mother glared at him and slapped his cheek, playfully.

"Hey! That's my dialouge!" His mother and Karan started laughing, while hugging his mother. It's been a while, since he laughed this hard. He laughed. A real laugh, which was noticed by Rakhi Luthra and this made her, even smile more.

"Okay, Maa. I'm starving right now. I didn't eat anything from morning. Make me something, which I love. Please, Mum." He said, removing his stinky socks and throwing across the room, earning a groan from his mother.

"Oh god! How many times did I tell you not to throw those disgusting socks in front of me?" His mother slapped his arm, yet again and he grinned at her, showing his pearly white tooth. His mother rolled her eyes and left to kitchen, to make him his favourite. His sloppy grin still lingered on his lips. It was once in a blue moon, he let out a real smile. And today, oh boy, it really did affect him.

At eight-fifty Pm, he reached Rathore and co's.

Rahul had added the other company to his new venture, suprising Karan. Rahul didn't enclose the mystery comapny, he added. Rahul said it's a mere suprise for him, from Rahul. Rahul, Karan were best friends from their MBA days.

Karan entered into the lift and pressed twenty-fifth floor, where Rahul's cabin was there. In the seventeenth floor, the lift stood and a woman, in her late twenty's entered. Karan smirked looking at the woman. In these past seven years, he have met several women and had few one night-stands and few relationships with them. He leaned onto one of the wall in the lift, throwing glances at her. In the front, she was smiling sheepishly, playing with the hem of her shirt.

At twenty-fifth floor, the lift stood and both of them, get down and entered into Rahul's cabin. Karan sat in front of Rahul, who sighed at his friend, who barged in ― without his permission. Karan smirked and looked at the woman, he encountered with in the lift. Rahul rolled his eyes and spoke, "Don't you dare, Luthra! I warn you! She's my Personal Assistant. And I can't stop cringing, if you shag her!"

Karan rolled his eyes, "Oh, please! Now, tell me who's the other person, in our venture? Is that person he or she? Better tell me it's a female."

This time, Rahul smirked. "Oh, Karan, it's definitely a very young lady ― for the highness, of course."

Karan smiled, "Who's she?"

Rahul's smirk widen. "Wait and watch, Luthra." Karan, for the first time in his life, was scared of his best friend, speaking like this.

As he was about to retort a comment, a familiar voice popped up, "I'm sorry, Rahul! I'm late."

And the both men's face turned towards the owner of the voice. Karan's eye widened and Rahul smirked. "Meet Preeta Arora, the very second share holder of our new venture, karan Luthra."

Both Karan and Preeta were firlmy staring into each other's eyes with so much hatred and vulnerability.
