He doesnt believe in Love.. He is the son of Aarav Singh Malik.. He hates his father from his heart. Has a reason for it..And no one yet is able to mend that relation between them.

She helps her father in his business. She is also helping Aarav in his work. Almost next to his Personal Assistant.. She spends most of her time with Aarav and is very equivalent to his daugther.
The Story begins with a grand Enagagement party of Arnav's cousin NK and his girlfriend Lavanya in Delhi.. Arnav is in London and is returning back to India today. Nobody knows of his return. He drives in his Lexus and the car stops at the Venue.. Without any delay the Security opens the car doors and he gets down in a Rich black suit with a black sunglass. He has beautiful eyes and any girl could fall for those.. He is currently single. He had many relationships in the past. Never ever he met a girl who believes in commitment.. He hated to commit to any girl.. He hated being in commitment and relationships.. He had a smirk to die for.. The media never left a chance to cover him. His news were always on page 1 of every damm newspaper.. That was he .. Arnav Singh Raizada.. He addressed the media and then came inside the Venue where he met his sister Anjali..
Anjali: Chotte? I cant believe you came back?
She hugged him and so did he..
Arnav: Where is he?
Anjali: He ?? Ohh !! NK? He is on the stage..
Arnav: I asked about him Di.. Not NK..
Anjali: Chotte you look angry.. Any problem?
Arnav: I wont repeat DI.. Where is He?
Anjali pointed to the direction where Aarav was standing with some guests.. And he left to meet him.. his father..
Anjali: Arnav.. wait.. Arnav...
Aarav was standing with his back to him when he called him..
Arnav: Dad..
Aarav turned back.. And then Arnav saw her.. In a red saree with minimal make up and hair left loose.. He adored her face and then looked back to his dad..
Arnav: I need to talk to you..
Dad: Arnav.. When did you return?
Arnav: Excuse us .. (He said that and pulled his dad to some corner of the garden)
Dad: Arnav you ok?? What happened?
Arnav: How dare you ?
Dad: What? Why are you sounding so furious?
Arnav: Dont act smart Dad.. Who the hell asked you to sign some AR group papers on my behalf?
Dad: Ohh I see.. Well I was asked to.. You were in London.. Papers were urgent. You would have incurred heavy loss.. So I had to sign it on your behalf..
Arnav (Pointing his finger to his father): Dont you ever dare interfere in my business.. Understood? I wont bare this next time..
Dad: Arnav.. But..
He left without even listening anything else.. He went straight to NK and Lavanya and wished them. He then came down and stood with his sister...
Anjali: Arnav.. You should have not talked to dad like this.. That too in public..What if anybody would hear it? Doesnt look good..
Arnav: Dont teach me Di.. What I need to do and where..
Anjali: I am just advising you Chotte..
Arnav: I dont need anyones advice.. Ok?
Anjali knew how stubborn he was.. She didnt argue.. Shyam came and stood with them. Arnav started chatting with Shyam who was his Jeejaji cum legal advisor of AR Group.. Payal and Akash also came to Arnav and greeted him. Arnav was good to Payal.. He always wanted a simple Bhabhi for his Brorther Akash and so she was. Very cute and naive.. Just a year back Akash had married Payal. It was a arranged marriage..
Payal: So Arnav.. How was your trip?
Arnav: Good.. Thanks.. I think you and Akash must visit London next time.. Nice place.
Payal: Really? Akash now I havent fixed any plan.. Its your Brothers Idea .. You cannot deny..(She and Anjali Giggled)
Payal: Arnav.. Know what all my friends here are so eager to get introduced to you but I want you to meet my best friend. Come I will introduce you to her.
She pulled Arnav and then came to Khushi who was busy talking to a girl..
Payal: Khushi..
Khushi turned back and the other girl left.. Khushi saw Payal and then him. She smiled at Payal and hugged her..
Khushi: Hi Payal.. Where were you? I was searching for you..
Payal: I was with Akash,.Well Khushi meet Arnav.. Akash's elder brother..
Khushi looked at him and then passed a weak smile.. A smile that had a pain which was unforgettable..
Khushi: Hi.. Arnav..
Arnav: Hello..
He too didnt bother to talk much and then excused himself from them.. Payal could notice some ackwardness between the two.. But how can this be? It was the first time they met.. So why were they behaving as if they knew each other from long?
