BLACK and WHITE LOVE (On Hold)

The meeting and first meet

Drishti was early for the meeting which was held in the other company's office. As she stepped inside the main door, a breeze came rushing through her. She felt something, something was amiss. She tried to disregard the feeling, but it got closer as she walked inside. Her thoughts were disturbed as she her path was stopped by a man, he asked her,

Man: mam, are you Ms. Drishti Khanna?

Drishti: yes I am and who might you be?

The man forwarded his hand and said,

Man: nice to meet you mam, I am the CEO's PA, Shikhar Sharma. Please follow me to the conference room where the meeting will be held.

Drishti shook his hand and followed him to the conference room. Shikhar then left Drishti there and told her,

Shikhar: mam, you can set up the presentation and sir will be here in 15 minutes.

After he left her there, Drishti and Kajol set the presentation and Drishti began to look over the files and made some last minute changes. After about 15 minutes, Shikhar came in to the room, followed by a man. Without looking, the man took a sit and was reading the files.

Drishti's thoughts:

As soon as the door opened, my eyes betrayed me. I was stuck looking at him. He was a very dashing and a very handsome man most likely in his 20s. I was just lost in his figure. His biceps, triceps and maybe he even had 8 pack abs, I thought. Above all, what attracted my attention towards him the most was this feeling I was getting. Similar to goosebumps but much more of a nicer feeling. My thoughts were broken when Shikhar said pointing towards the man,

Shikhar: mam, this is Rakshit Shergill, CEO of Shergill Group of Companies and sir (now pointing towards Drishti), this is Drishti Khanna, co-owner and CEO of Khanna Industries.

When he heard the name Drishti, Rakshit thought to himself while still looking at the files, "could it be? Is it her?" He then looked up towards Drishti and just couldn't take his eyes off of her. Both had an eye contact, but Rakshit's mind was asking thousands of questions about her.

Rakshit's thoughts:

It's been exactly 20 years since that night when I helped deliver that baby. Since then I have been running away from one place to another to avoid too much attention towards myself. I even changed my surname to avoid suspicion. But when you have nearly visited and have stayed in most if not all the countries there is, there's no more places to hide. I thought I would start a business to avoid being notice by people. But no it's not gonna happen. This curse will always hunt me.

When I entered my office today, various types of emotions ran through me. I didn't know what they were or should I say, I forgot what even emotions were. I disregarded everything and came inside the conference room without looking at anyone else. Shikhar had told me that this meeting was going to be presented by a woman, I didn't even bother to look up to see who it was. But the same feeling emerged in a greater intensity. I just came inside and indulged myself into the files trying to avoid thinking about anything else. I just wanted the meeting to end soon.

But as soon as I heard her name though, I couldn't help think about that baby. It was my touch that give her life. I felt the same emotions today as I have felt it that day. When I looked up, I saw her. At that moment, I knew she was her. The baby girl I named Drishti, I just couldn't take my eyes away from her. After few minutes and I was still thinking, she walked towards me and said,

Drishti: nice to meet you Mr. Shergill. I am Drishti Khanna. (Forwarding her hands for a handshake)

Rakshit was still not able to put away his thoughts and shook her hands while still sitting on his chair and his eyes glued to hers. The moment both hands came in contact, volts of current ran through their veins and as a reflex, both moved their hands away simultaneously. But due to moving away so fast, Drishti's hands collided with the glass table.

Thus, her hand was paining and Rakshit couldn't see her in pain, he held her other hand and told Shikhar to get the car. Before anyone could say anything, Rakshit took her away and drove to the hospital.
