Part One
Naina lifted her little darling in her arms. Prachi was her life. The reason she had left Rajveer. Her daughter. Their daughter.
"Prachi wake up baby… we are going to Bombay"
" Mama…"
That's all that little girl could say. She was just above 2. an angel to the core. She was an obedient child. Never trouble Naina. Naina thanked god each day for the doll he had given her. She was illegitimate. But that was the case of more than 50% of the children in London. No one ever cared there.
Naina made all the last minute arrangements and carried her doll to the car. They got in and the driver took them to the airport, within no time they were done with the customs and were on the flight to Mumbai. Naina wished time would slow down for the first time in her life. As the flight took off so did her memories.
Flashback
5 years back. Naina was just 24 then, an extremely successful fashion designer. She had talent. She was probably the youngest to achieve to much in so little time. She did have boyfriends but none of them were her kind. She lived in Bandra one of the most expensive areas in Bombay, facing the seaface. The sea did relax her and she was happy with her life. But yet something was missing. She had an uncle, who had brought her up, her parents had tried to force her to get married at the age of 17 and so she ran away leaving all her ties behind and came to Bombay the city of dreams to her uncle's house. Her uncle too was considered the black sheep of the family. He had ran away from home to marry a foreigner. Her was hardly 15years elder to her and hence she knew him well. She knew he would definitely her her if she wanted to defy the family and her presumption was correct. She was welcomed into his house with open arms but on the condition that she would have to repay him after she gets her job. Naina had a dream and worked towards it and soon became one of the top most fashion designers in the country.
During one such fashion even. Lakme Fashion week the dram of all the Mumbai designers. It was the first time it was taking place in Mumbai. All these years it used to take place in Delhi
"wow Sonali. Im so excited finally the day that I have been waiting for is here. Lakme Fashion week I can wait to potray my designs there and then just see how Seventeen (a fashion magazine) falls al my feet."
" hold your horses Naina. Getting into this even isn't that easy. The Incharge, oh he's a headache better meet him fast."
"Oh yeah. Thanks sweetie. What would I have done without you"
"You pay me for my services Naina, you may be my friend but I am your manager first"
" yeah, yeah. Fix up a meeting with this guy as soon as possible"
" I have already fixed it up, 7:00pm Laxme office today, and it's a she Ms.Ritu Sahani"
"ohhh…. Ill catch up with her"
Location: Laxme Head office
Time: 7.00 pm
Naina reaches there on time and comes to the receptionist
" Hi! Im Naina Rathod. I had an appointment with Ms.Ritu Sahani this evening"
"yes. Just a moment" " Ritu Ma'am, Ms. Naina Rathos is here. Can I send her in?" " ms.Rathod, Ritu ma'am is free you may take the elevator to the 5th floor the minute you get out, turn left and walk ahead and her cabin is the third door to the left"
"May I come in"
"Yes you may"
" Hi. Iam Naina"
"Rathod, yes I know, one of india's best fashion designers, calling you here was just a formality, without designers like you our event will be a complete flop."
" Does that mean…"
"Yes you are in"
It was hard for naina to control her glee…. She had waited for this so long. Finally she will be noticed at national level. Her dream would come true.
" here are your documents. Go through them and sign them and then we are in a contract"
It took Naina no time and she signed it.
"thank you ms. Sahani"
"Call me Ritu"
"Here's my card. Contact me anytime. I will be calling you one of these days, we were planning to have a small introductory meeting cum party sometime soon. It will be good for you, parties always help to mingle with the people who'll need in the future"
"I shall make a move then and thank you" was all Naina could say, she just wanted to run out and dance like a frog
" im not doing you any favour Naina, you have talent and that's what we need, infact I think ill go make a move too, Would you mind waiting for me for 2 minutes"
"sure"
"Im done, lets go"
Just as Naina was going to open the door some one barged in with force and threw her off balance, that someone landed right on top of her. He quickly got up and offered a helping hand to her which she offered at once. She was too dazed and soon ritu came forward to help Naina"
"Im so sorry. I was in a hurry" without waiting for an answer he turned towards Ritu and started speaking
"Ritu here are the papers, thank god I get u, the BMC was getting wild they had some other problem with the venue. But not to worry I have got all the necessary papers ready and all I need is your signature"
Ritu quickly checked all the papers during which Naina took his appearance into notice, he had a sort of rugged look, kept a stubble was dressed semi formally and looked extremely sexy..
"Done" said Ritu
And she suddenly remembered that Naina was in the room
"Naina, this is Rajveer, Rajveer Shekhawat, our event manager"
"Rajveer, this is Naina Rathod"
" a promising new fashion designer, delighted to meet you" he continued
And as he raised his hand for a handshake, she shook his hands too, not realizing at that time that they were going to change eachothers course of life"
