Story Theme/ Challenge
A highly ambitious Rudra, returns from London, after 7 long years, wishing to become a C. E. O. of a top notched multinational company, ASPIRE. He returns to his ancestral home with plans of selling the property to earn millions, so that he can invest into his career, where in he meets up his childhood crush, Saumya Kapoor who is street smart, beautiful and extremely talented. But she is an extreme family person, and hence never left her family to settle elsewhere. Rudra was never able to confess his love for Saumya. Saumya was also his senior by 2 years. Saumya did like Rudra secretly but never told him as she felt it would be embarrassing to propose a guy who was younger to her. Meanwhile, during his trip around his village, he lands up in front of a huge palatial mansion. Upon enquiring, he realises that this was a property of his school crush, Bhavya. He had loved both Saumya and Bhavya equally, until he left for London after his higher secondary. Bhavya was a girl of extreme confidence. She was independent, elegant, graceful and the sole owner of DESIRE. Both ASPIRE and DESIRE worked hand in hand owned by the Pratap siblings. Bhavya never liked Saumya's concern for Rudra. And she used to be extremely jealous when Rudra spoke to Saumya, the reason being Saumya was more loved by everyone. Rudra was UNWARE of both of them liking him.
