28 June 2015

The clock struck 5 and Arjun was almost out of the office hadnt it been his best Friend/Boss called him back for some important meeting, Arjun doesnt like any disturbance to his normal routine,even his Friend Adarsh knows that but desperate times calls for desperate measures. One look at their competitors Arjun almost left again.

Arjun:" I told you i wont work on any projects that they are also competing on."

Adarsh :" I know but it very important one, i am not asking you to tell their secrets or anything. Just give me your suggestion "

Arjun:" Well that my one condition Adarsh, and i am not breaking it ."

Adarsh:" Really but i thought you also have i wont work on weekends and i wont work one minute after 5 PM condition as well. For one year you have worked here i didnt ask you to do this.But i am losing to them for so long and this one project will mean so much to me San...No Arjun .I still cant get used to this name."

Arjun: :"You better get used to it.I cant have anyone else knowing my identity "

Adarsh:" Okay see even i am keeping you identity a secret, no one knows your real name except Me. And cant you do this Small favour in return"

Arjun:"I can resign if you want.But i wont help you with this project."

Adarsh:" And who can i hire that is so better than you. Leave it forget that i asked you this favour. Go i already made you stay ten minutes over 5. Let not break another one of your condition as well"

Arjun:" And Thanks. You are really a good friend and Adrash even without me you can win this project. I trust you and my fellow Colleagues "

Adarsh : " Let see about that, You know how your fellow colleagues look at you. They think you are arrogant, a guy who got this job because of being boss friend, they even think it unfair that you get to go home first and not work on alternate weekends like them. So how about making friends instead of being the boss friend"

Arjun:" I got you, why would i need more friends, you know i am working here to have some sort of normal life. But if they get to know me they will know how broken and crazy i am then they will regret it,so for their sanity let me be just the boss friend"

Adarsh: "There is no talking around you. Give Kisses to Asha from me .I miss her."

Arjun:" Do come for a Visit on the weekend then,Asha would love to see you as well"

Adarsh :" Unlike you i dont have off on weekends. Take care, .See you on Monday"

Yeah Arjun loved his normal life, As he want to provide an normal environment for Asha to grow up in. Thinking about his daughter brought a smile to his face. The only reason he smiles. It took him around less than thirty minutes to reach home and as always his little princess rushed out to meet him followed by Dida who was trying so hard to keep up with the kid energy. Arjun lifted his little kid up in his arms with a smile on his face.

And one look at a tired Dida Arjun felt bad for putting her through so much work. She was his wife Grandmother. Yet more like his own ever since his wife died. She was in charge of raising Asha for the last one and half year. And the little girl could have never found a better person to take care of then dida but age is surely taking a toll on dida.

And Arjun is getting worried if it too much for her.So he asked her to rest now that he has come back and he will take care of Asha. And we can order dinner tonight as all of three of them know Arjun is an terrible cook. He tries most of the time only to cause a disaster in the kitchen.

Dida has Retired to bed earlier than usual due to being tired after taking care of Asha the whole day. Asha decided to sleep with her Father tonight. She alternates between sleeping with her father and Dida based on her mood.

Asha loves listening to the bed time stories from her Father. So today she demanded a story that is so long that it never ends.Half way through the story her little eyes were closed and she was fast asleep.

Looking at his kid sleeping peacefully, Arjun only wished that his life remain normal as possible so that he can watch her grow happily. Little did he know that his normal life is going to be not so normal from tomorrow.

The Same day few hours earlier. A Girl in her twenties looked into the Mirror and found a stranger staring back at her, In her decked up avatar she doesn't recognize herself. One cant see that her eyes are sad when they happen to see the Marvari bride shining in her bridal dress and adorned with the most beautiful Jewels that was ever seen.

Swara Gadodia will be Swara Maheshwari in less than an hour. It was her Childhood dream but the Maheshwari she wanted to marry is not available anymore. He got Married to someone else. She still remember the conversation she had with her father that day she returned back from NewYork.

Swara:" What !! The offer for my Marriage came from Sanskar "

Shekhar:"Yeah.Durga Prasad came for a Visit in person when he found out me and your maa came back to india "

Swara:" Why didnt you tell me.."

Shekhar:" We asked if you want to get married and you made a big drama out of it,saying you are too young to get married and we dont love you if we think of kicking you out of this house this soon and so on, so i told them you are not ready for marriage. Also you were still studying,And even me and mishti felt it was early.."

Her Father had a point she was not ready for marriage at that time, but the name Sanskar brought so many memories of Childhood. Though she didnt let him know how much she is upset over the issue and played it down asking what happened after only to find Sanskar is already married to someone else and the bride mother's family lives in her town apparently.

It hurt a lot at that time but soon time passed by and she forgot it as well until today when all the memories were returned.

Thinking about him when she is supposed to marry his brother is so not right,she knows that and so she wished someone would stop this marriage.

Lakshya is a nice person she know and he deserves someone who is like him, not someone like her who is too broken. The door opened after an knock and she was greeted with a familiar face.

So putting back an fake smile she turned around only to be knocked out of conscious by an simple White kerchief laced with Sodium thiopental

Her eyes flickered open in a dark cabin by the small hint of early morning sun rays it like she has been unconsious for a long time and the familiar face this time was holding a Knife aimed at her.

She tried to run only to realize she was tied up in an chair where her legs and hands are bounded. Her bridal dress and jewelry have been discarded for a plain Blue Saree when she was not in her sense.

The person eyes spotted her wrestling with the ropes and there was gleam in those eyes to find the victim conscious And for the first time Swara realized how scary that person looked when you look behind the mask she carries around daily just like the mask she wears to hide her pain, she wears to hide her true evil nature.

Just Why was all Swara could ask, there was no answer just a stab after stab and everything went blank again.
