"Galtiya sab karte hai
Lekin, un galtiyon se sab log nahi seekhte hai
Isiliye, galtiya repeat hote rehte hai
Jab tak hum seekte nahi,
tab tak zindagi me wohi galtiya repeat hoti rehti hai"




"Mishti, you are going to come back to mumbai next week... Make it quick.. Wind up your remaining work by then", Akash aggarwal screamed from the other side on the phone.

Mishti sighed, "No Dad.... I don't want to come.. Not now.. Not anytime".

"You have to give a presentation to our investors and that will be counted for your credential to become the CEO... So, think about it my dear", smirked akash.
Because he know his daughter very well.. And he admire her hardwork to reach the place she has achieved. And he loves her, despite lack of personal talks between them. But, he can't transfer her the company directly as there is another contender for that and that's his son Vicky agarwal.

Now mishti had no other option, "ok.. I am coming... And for how long do I have to stay there?".

Akash loosened his tie, "may be a little longer dear... Be prepared for that".

"Dad, you know that I don't like Mumbai", mishti said in low voice.

Her father knew that she don't like Mumbai, because she lost her everything here. She lost her mother, she lost her love...... But, he want to see her, "Don't you want to see me dear?".

It's been three years since she last met her father... Though she is concerned for him, still she chooses to stay away. Because, she don't want to experience all that she had in the past in Mumbai again....One place she never wanted to go back is Mumbai...But, now his sad voice on the phone made her go a bit weak on her knees, "Dad, I am coming... So, please no emotional baate".

Akash smiled, "ok.. Come soon.. I have an important announcement to make".

Mishti narrowed her brows, "and what's that?".

But he was not ready to reveal it now only, "come over here mishti... You will get to know".

"Ok dad... I am hanging up now... I gotta go", mishti cut the call.

After disconnecting the call, her mind thought, "what announcement dad would be making?... Is he going to announce his successor?... Or is there anything else which I am missing?... Whatever it may be I am damn sure that dad will take my name as his successor, especially after seeing my performance as the head of rajkot branch...But, what if he considers vicky?.....no...".... Then she shrugged off the thoughts and soon got ready to leave for her office.

After a week :

'Passengers, please be seated and apply your seat belt... The plane is about to land'.... This announcement brought mishti out of her world..... She stepped out of the airport and gave some words to herself, "hey Mumbai... I am here for few days... Please don't make me lose anything this time... Please spare me for the duration I am here... I don't know what you have kept in here for me... I am ready to face anything this time, because I am no more the old mishti aggarwal who was meek, scared and dumb....".

And she took the cab and headed towards agarwal enterprise, as she has an important presentation to give in an hour.... After few minutes of smooth travel, she caught up with traffic... And she was getting late...

"Sir, how long will it take now to reach the destination?", she asked the cab driver.

He replied, "Mam, with this speed, it will take an another hour for sure".
