ORIGINAL

PART 1

The story begins with a sudden change in both families. In the Mehta family there is happiness as they are celebrating Vikrant's third birthday. In the Kumar family there is no sound of happiness and it seems as if the world has finished for them. The mother of Ria and Reshma has died and only cries are heard. As we move the story along 16 years both families have started off a new life with a new business. The Mehta's and Kumar's are now rivals and they do not see each other or step in their companies. The Mehta's own a cotton company which is working at a normal rate. The Kumar's own a gold company which is working at an excellent rate. Their gold is sold ten times more than the Mehta's cotton. This is when Vikrant and Ria come into role. They both have heard the rivalries of the family and never dread to meet any members of either. Their siblings; Vikram and Reshma do not care but to enjoy themselves with the life. It all starts suddenly when Ria and Vikrant meet at Wilson Lake; the favourite spot of peace for Ria.

As Ria adored the beautiful sight of the Lake she started throwing rocks inside the Lake getting over her sorrows she faces every day. As she is sitting on the ice cold bench she looks to find that someone handsome sits beside her. She edges away a little and continues throwing rocks.

"Are you tensed about something that it is necessary for you to throw rocks in the beautiful Lake?" Vikrant suddenly asks.

"Even if I am tensed, it has no concern for you. Please leave me alone," she replies hoarsely.

"Miss, I think I do have a concern for your tension. The world is interlinked with each other and if your tension causes you to suicide then I will get the blame for not asking you and giving you a solution," he replies with a smile.

"Sir, I would be most of at peace if you left me alone. I do not need to tell you about my tensions and I will not suicide and even if I do, you shall get no blame," she spoke bitterly.

"Miss, sharing your tensions helps you get a companion and a friend," he whispers but enough to make her hear.

She stands up with a jerk and looks at him in the eyes. Vikrant himself had never seen such beauty as her black eyes and fair skin made him glisten.

"I do not need companionship from anyone. I am fine and happy on my own, now if you'll please excuse me, I have to go back to work from this annoying break I had," she turns to leave but is stopped suddenly by his question.

"But at least, tell me your name?" he asks hopefully. She turns to look at him with agitated eyes.

"Ria." and she walks away without asking his name. Her name echoes in his ears and he whispers it to himself several times saying "Ria, Ria". Suddenly his Blackberry phone starts ringing. He answers and finds it to be his father.

"Dad, is everything okay?" he questions.

"Vikrant, I just got a threatening note from Kumar gold makers...they intend to make our business close down. Vikrant, I just don't know what to do..." his father muffles into the phone. He continues. "Vikrant, if possible...go the the Kumar gold makers and give them a warning or such...I think...I will get a heart stroke if my company shuts down..."

"Dad! Don't say that for Lord Krishna's sake! Yes...I am going there right away...just..keep calm..." he pipes.

Without another moment of wait he sits in his Mercedes and rides off to the Kumar gold makers. As he enters the building he looks around and hears an old man scream while the collegues look silent.

"Ria! Where the flipping sake were you? You took an extra break! How dare you come in 10 minutes late?" the old man screamed.

"Dad, I am sorry...it's just that the car broke down and I had to come in a taxi..." she replied but he had cut her short.

"Taxi!? You came here in a taxi? How dare you? You are going to destroy my reputation in a flock of fire!" he screamed looking at her in the eye.

Vikrant who immediately recognised the name "Ria" could not believe that the first woman he was interested in turned out to be his father's rival company owner's daughter. He turned to leave just when he heard the secretary say something to the guard.

"Oh, poor Ria, having to put up with all this everyday. Hmmph! Boss is always blaming her for nothing, he just wants her married off," she sighed. "All he does is shout and scream, shout and scream.."

"Oh, be quiet Lisa! Do you want to get the same shouting at your face? I just hope best for Ria to get married and come out of the pressure of her father," he replied back.

Vikrant could hardly believe his ears. Ria was under control of her spiteful father. Her father also wanted her to get married and find a companion. No wonder, he thought, no wonder she was this upset on the Lake. He desperately wanted to talk to beautiful Ria but he could not think of how to.

"You, handsome, are you here to fix a meeting with one of our designers? Miss Ria, Mr Fern, Mr Patel..?" the secretary suddenly asked.

He heard the name "Miss Ria". His problem was solved in no time. He nodded at her with a smile. She flickered her eyes at him.

"Name it handsome, who will it be?" she asked again turning her tone to a romantic accent. The guard snorted and she stuck out her tongue.

"I want to see Miss Ria very urgently. Is there any chance I can get a meeting fixed with her today?" he asked. She started scanning through her register and looked up again with a smile.

"Yes, you can meet her right now but it won't be very long when Mr Shepherd will come so I-" he cut her short.

"No problem, it's only a little thing, I'll get it sorted in 5-10 minutes," he replied with a smile which caused her to lean forward and ruffle his hair.

"Okay, all I need is your name please?" she stepped back. He thought of a good name to trick out his Ria. He thought and suddenly smiled.

"Viren Mehra," he replied grinning.

"Oooh! What a charmed name for a sexy...charmed boy like you," she smiled and continued. "Go straight up the elevator and to the top floor, last room is Miss Ria's," the secretary finished.

Vikrant took the secretary's hand and gave it a very light kiss for her ultimate kindness. She gasped with delight holding her hand up to look at it after he had left. While in the elevator he looked at the elevator guy checking him out up to down suspiciously. Suddenly the lift came to a halt and the doors parted as Vikrant stepped out saying a "Thanks" to the elevator guy. He walked through the polished tiles, his heart thumping as he came to a stop in front of a door labelled as "Ria Kumar - Gold Designer". He gave a little knock to hear a "Come in" muffled voice from inside.

PART 2

He turned the door knob and peeks inside to find Ria completely busy writing down the addresses to which the designs had to be sent away to. He stared at her for a few minutes until she finally put her pen down and started putting the note pad and pen away as she spoke.

"Please take a seat," she spoke gently without looking up. He stepped inside and sat down on the leather chairs. She was still busy setting up her things and finally she looked up to stand up with the same jerk she did on the Lake.

"You? How dare you-" she spoke as he cut her short.

"Miss, before you start accusing me of me following you then let me tell you that, yes, I have followed you but also I am here to-" he spoke but she cut him short.

"Get out of here now!" she harshly pointed to the door.

"Miss, I am the boss of me, no one and I mean, no one tells me to leave and to come. I myself own my actions and right now I have no intention of leaving but to talk to you and perhaps have a cup of iced coffee to cool us both down from the hard work," he smiled standing up too.

She gasped. "Cup of iced coffee, eh? I will tip it over your head if you don't get the hell out of here. And I have no intention of talking to a complete stranger who has no emotions or respect for to follow a girl like this," she piped hoarsely.

That done it. Vikrant stepped forward and started to walk towards her casually as his trainers took a step each time, her ballet shoes stepped back. It came to a point where she was completely blocked by the wall.

"Don't step any further, I mean it, I will call for security!" she whispered. He chuckled as he moved forward.

"Not even security can stop me now," he smiled still coming forward but suddenly heard footsteps and returned to his leather sofa while she stood there amazed. The door was opened by Rajiv Kumar who entered and stared at Ria standing by the wall.

"Ria? What the..?" he stopped and looked at Vikrant who stood up with an innocent shine in his face.
"Ria, what's wrong with you? Why are..you? Jeez, sorry young man, my daughter suffers from delusions..well while she gets over her head I'll deal with you..." he spoke as he sat down on her chair.

"I was just discussing the designs I think she should produce. I think it will help your company and profit it a lot," he smiled. The man was taken aback. He immediately sat up and his interest was all in Vikrant's words.

"Yes..so..you do have some designs..you could show us?" he asked with a softness on his face. Vikrant shook his head.

"No, but I can make the best necklaces and the best designs your company will like. I can assure you, it will be better than your daughter's," he spoke with a smirk on his face. The old man leaned forward and then sat up straight. He stuck out his hand for a shake and Vikrant accepted smiling.

"We welcome you, to our company. Ria, show him around and discuss all the designs with him, now." he spoke harshly looking at the frightened girl who still stood in the corner looking at him harshly.

PART 3

Mr Kumar left leaving them two alone again. Ria had now got over her fears and walked to Vikrant who had been watching her closely. She came to a halt and stared him in the eyes. As he looked in his eyes he saw a glistening image of him and noticed she had tears in her eyes.

"I'll call Sophie, she'll show you around," she whispered. "I have some work of my own to do."

"Miss, I don't want any other girl to show me around, I want you," he smiled. She did not smile back and grabbed the receiver and dialled two digits. Soon it was connected.

"Sophie, my office now," she spoke harshly and stamped the receiver down. Vikrant was about to speak again when suddenly the door opened and there stood a girl dressed in white shirt and black trousers.

"Yes Ma'am?" she asked looking serious. Ria pointed at Vikrant and turned to Sophie.

"Show him around and make sure you give him full detail, seeing as he is really interested in this company!" she piped angrily.

"Yes Ma'am. Sir..?" she looked at him hopefully to stand up on his own. Vikrant knew what she was thinking and remained sitting.

"Sophie, go and do your previous job, Miss Ria will show me around," he smiled. Sophie looked at Ria then nodded. But Ria spoke up.

"No, I will not. I am going straight home, Sophie WILL show you around. End of discussion!" and she walked away as fast as she could. Vikrant stood up and followed her giving Sophie a grin. She grinned back but stopped him suddenly.

"Mr..Viren..I hope you realise..that whatever you are thinking, is not right. It's not right to fall in love with a girl you hardly know about," she stammered with fear but Vikrant smiled.

"Then you can tell me all about Miss Ria, then it would be fair wouldn't it?" he grinned again with a frustration in his eyes. Sophie nodded gently and then sat down on the leather chair. Vikrant followed.

"Well Miss Ria is a very reserve lady. She does not like anyone interfering in her life. She distinctively hates anyone who acts smart and short with her. Since childhood she lost her mother and her father didn't grant her freedom or any love. She has a big sister Reshma who is completely a drug addict and an alcoholic women. She interests in having intercourse and has had it several times using pills. Well let's not discuss -"

"So does Miss Ria have any boyfriends or someone she loves as a companion?" he asked eagerly.

"Well as far as I know, she has not had any boyfriend. She often lies about it that she does so people would leave her alone, but that doesn't work any more," she smiled.

Vikrant suddenly felt easy and stood up. He reached out and kissed Sophie's rose smelling hand. He turned to leave when suddenly he remember what he was here for. Before he could call his father, the phone vibration started. He answered immediately without no delay.

"Hello, Bhai.. where are you?"

"Vikrant, gosh, I need money, I lost all my money on gambling, I did, and now I have this girl next to me, who is just utterly hot and smashing! I can't let her get out of my claws so please bro, meet me at the casino, I'll be waiting outside with Reshma," and the call was disconnected.

Vikrant instantly knew what that meant. Vikram had wanted more money but still he felt very impatient. He had heard the name Reshma..where had he heard it? He muttered the name to himself trying to recall when Sophie suddenly spoke.

"Reshma is Ria's big sister, I hope it helps you." she smiled. He instantly remembered and gave her a quick wink and shot out of the 10 storey high building.
