CHAPTER 1(City of Dehradhun : This city is full of life. Majority of the people living in this city are middle-class and few are super rich such as Raichands, Dobriyals and Khuranas)
(Sugandh Jaiswal and her daughter Piyali Jaiswal have just moved to Dehradhun)
It is Monday morning and busy life of people of Dehradhun has already started. You can hear foot steps of people rushing to work on the roads.
Jaiswal House
Sugandh: Piya, Piya are you awake yet?
Piya: Mamma, why are you screaming like that? Please let me sleep for few more minutes.
Sugandh: I knew you are gonna say that. I can not believe that it is 8 AM in the morning and you are still in your bed. You better wake up now or you are gonna be late.
Piya: Mamma I think you are still sleepy. Today is Sunday so let me just sleep. Gosh!!
Sugandh: Really? No sweetheart I am not the one who is sleepy but you are. For your kind information beta, today is not Sunday but Monday. I thought you were supposed to meet Mr. Oberoi, our neighbor today.
(Piya throws her blanket and jumps out of bed as if she had electric shock)
Piya: Oh crap!!! I am so screwed. I thought it was Sunday. Now Oberoi uncle will be very mad at me. I told him that I will meet him to show my design portfolio today at 8:30 AM. I need to rush now.
Sugandh: ok ok Piya clam down. I knew something like this would happen so I had called him already and told him that you might run few minutes late. He is fine with it. Now get ready quickly and come for breakfast.
Piya: oh my gosh mama! Have I told you that you are the world's best mother?
Sugandh (grinning): oh well, I already know that. Now get ready quickly.
Piya: Mamma aren't you starting you new job from today? Oh should I call you mamma or professor jaiswal from today.
Sugandh: Stop you naughty girl. Yes, I am starting my job as a history Professor in Mount college from today. By the way, I want to see you in class tomorrow on time. Your college starts from tomorrow. Do not be late. We will be having lots of fun.
Piya (nervous): I don't know mama. I have heard that there are only rich kids in that Mount College. I am kind of feeling nervous about my first day.
Sugandh: There is nothing to be nervous about. I know my daughter is very tough and smart. You will be perfectly fine over there. Now, Ms. Piya Jaiswal aren't you getting late?
Piya: oh mine!! I am.
(Piya gets ready and eats her breakfast)
Sugandh: Do not forget to take your umbrella. It might rain today.
Piya: I will. I luv you mama. Bye
(Piya leaves her house to meet Mr. Oberoi)
Raichand House
( Chand and Haseena are in their living room talking about their children)
Chand: Haseena where are Alisha and Abhay? I have not seen both of them since this morning.
Haseena: Abhay is already in the office. He is currently working on this new project, so he is very busy. Alisha should be getting ready to go to office as well.
Chand: Haseena even though we have managed to establish ourselves as one of the powerful families of Dehradhun, I am very worried about Abhay and Alisha.
Haseena: Chand, I can not believe that we are talking about this all over again. I thought we were done with it. I have told you we do not have to worry about either one of them. You know Abhay has become very responsible and is doing great in business. Alisha is also doing well with her Fashion designing business. More than that both of our kids are working together on this new project. So, please stop worrying about them.
Chand: I know that Haseena. But we have to keep in mind that Abhay is not strong emotionally. You know that he is still fighting withing himself and hates his life as a vampire. Alisha on the other hand can not stand humans. She gets restless whenever she is around humans which can create problem for us in future. I have asked her to get more involved with humans, but looks like she is ignoring my suggestions.
(Alisha comes downstairs and is listening to the whole conversation. Alisha is a very pretty girl, dressed in her black short skirt)
Alisha (angry): Dad, please stop this. I am getting sick and tired of your nagging. I told you that I have been trying my best to control myself. But whenever I am around humans, I feel the thirst for their blood. I am tired of trying to ignore it. Thats why from now on I will not be interacting with humans directly.
Chand (angry): Temper Alisha Temper. It is not good to be that short tempered. Now, how staying away from humans will help you in this new project? I fear Abhay will not like this. You should be helping him out with this project. You know his temper and you know the consequences of your action on this project.
Alisha: I am not afraid of Abhay and you know that really well. I am his older sister and will not leave him alone. I have already asked our business partner Mr. Ram Oberoi to help me find a secretary who will be handling all the designs for this project. She will pretty much work as a fashion designer and I will supervise her. She will take care of all the things for Abhay, so he will not have to worry about anything.
Chand: Think twice before you do anything. Trusting a human is a very big risk you will be taking. You decision should not hamper anything on this project or in our lives.
Haseena: Please calm down Chand. I have full faith on Alisha.
Alisha: Mom and Dad I will take your leave now. I have to meet Mr. Oberoi in office today.
(Alisha leaves)
Precap: It is raining heavily. Piya's umbrella gets blown away and she is about to be hit by a car.
