Drafts Of Her Heartbeat

Deal Signed

Dhruv Khaitan, a name well-known in the business industry. Being the only son of millionaire Yash Khaitan, Dhruv had inherited his father's empire, but this didn't meant that he was a spoilt millionaire kid. Thirty years old Dhruv Khaitan knew how to use both mind and heart in his business. He is the player of tactics, statistics, plans, money and art of ruling a business.
Thirty years old Dhruv had it all, from looks to brains to money, the only thing he did not have was a partner in life. Some people used to say that in building partnerships he had forgotten he also needed a partner in life, others said he was a playboy, some stupid journals went as far as to calling him a gay, just to extract a story about his personal life. Being everything said and written about him Dhruv kept shut and never rolled out a juicy piece of story for the press. The only thing which was confirm about him was his success in business.
Winning awards for businessman of the Years to being Youngest successful businessman, Dhruv had various patents on his name, and various achievements to bejewel him. But never once did Dhruv cared about any of his achievements, not even a praise got on his head. Though the business world knew Dhruv as a cocky, straightforward and disciplines businessman, the ones close to Dhruv knew nothing more than this.
Dhruv Khaitan is a closed book for the world, a mystery unsolved and it all added up to his profile as the most eligible bachelor of the country. It was only two years back that Dhruv had taken over his father's empire and in this two years he was successful in taking his business altogether to a new level. Being the youngest businessman, Dhruv led a hectic life with no room for personal time. His mornings begins at 6:00am in gym, by 9:00am he is ready for office and by 10:00 am he is already beauties in his chair in his cabin. Starting work from 10:00am he would continuously work till late night and go home to work some more and then to sleep, only to get up next day again and go in with the same routine. There wasn't any place or space for a change.
Today was no different, and here is Dhruv Khaitan sitting on his chair in his plush cabin, discussing a new project for investment.
"Sir I personally feel this will be good for the company, both in terms of publicity and recruiting new talent. We will be able to approach the younger generation, will get the publicity of sponsoring a team representing our country, and we will also get a chance to scan and choose the best of the youth in the country." Explained Aviral, Dhruv's right hand and also his best friend from his college in US.
"Hmm it's a better and more interesting way to employ fresh talents unlike those boring campus recruitments. A way to support the country too. By the way what college did you say won the nationals and got chance to represent India internationally?" Dhruv asked.
"Elite College of India, ECI. They beat the previous year's champions and got in. The team's name being Rebel Angels. The mentor of the team is Vidyut Chauhan." Aviral informed.
"Vidyut Chauhan? Isn't he the same man who is said to have brought about the change in Automobiles industry? A genius who chose to be a teacher and impart knowledge then to be restricted in a cabin for his life?" Aviral could see Dhruv's eyes holding respect for the man in conversation.
"Yes he is the same man. And you know what's more exciting this time? The team has three girls in it and one of the girls is the captain of the team. As per the news she had joined in middle and defeated the then-captain a boy. And not only that she is the first girl captain in the history of 15 years of the competition. A record already set by the girl. And there are only three girls in the competition, and all three from Indian team itself. It's a good publicity for the name of company too." Aviral explained excitedly.
"A girl as a captain for the first time. Interesting. Ok we will sponsor the team. Get in talks with Mr. Chauhan and sort out everything. And make sure to let him know I will be involved personally in this competition." Dhruv said getting up from his chair, buttoning up the front two buttons of his court and leaving the office premises. He had another important thing to deal with.

"Sir you called us?" Asked Rahul entering the lion's den aka Vidyut Chauhan's cabin.
Vidyut Chauhan, a name known in the country for his brain and his passion to teach. A man made of metal and unbeatable. Man of discipline and punctuality, Vidyut was a name taken with great respect in the world of Mechanical Engineering.
"Of course I called you, or else I am sure that you won't be coming here in my cabin on your own will Rahul." Vidyut said while typing something on his laptop and taking a sip of his black coffee. Fitted black shirt, with black jeans and a grey waistcoat, wearing specs, Vidyut Chauhan screamed status and style in every language.
"So congratulations I guess is on the list first, you bunch of idiots have finally made it to the international platform. How did it happen? I am still in a daze but believe me now things are going to change. And by change I mean a drastic change. You are no more kid but grown up fools of ECI. We have just received the mail of confirmation from the sponsors. So congratulations again, you have also managed to bag sponsorship from a very reputed company. Now you will ask which company? My answer to that is that is for me to know and you to not. It's none of your concern, yet. Next since we have the sponsors, now we begin the training. By training I mean it for the international platform. You all will move out from college hostel and shift in my outhouse. I need to keep an eye on you all 24×7 so you all will stay with me. I already have the letters signed by your parents and guardians. So you don't have to worry. Pack your bags and meet me outside my house in exactly 2 hours. Remember 2 hours or a punishment. Now move."
A single order from Chauhan had the Rebel Angels moving.
"Arohi, you wait. I need to talk to you." Vidyut said while others left his cabin.
"Arohi" he said taking a deep breathe, " I know I was the one who made you the captain after a challenge you clearly won. But things are going to escalate now. Pressure for team will be doubling, but so will be the pressure for you as a captain. Are you ready to shoulder the responsibility? You still have an option to step down if you think all this is overwhelming for you." Vidyut finished off looking intensely at her straight figure.
"A fight I clearly won. A chance I deserve. I'm ready for it. I will be the captain the team needs. Keeping them and their welfare before mine. I am all in sir. No doubts, no queries, just your commands and my work." She replied confidently, looking directly in Vidyut's eyes letting him know of her strong resolve.
"Good. It's good. Nice to know you have not forgotten to fight. Be ready to show the world a fierce female captain that they have never known." Vidyut said proudly.
Taking his team to his home later and getting them settled there, he began their intense training and studies at once.
