Reaching the entrance of the home, she touched the name plate which read 'Chandini Niwas'. She smiled recalling 7 years back when she had bowed down to their condition to call this house by her name. The door was slightly ajar, peeping inside she saw a man in his early sixties and a woman in her late fifties indulged in their cute banter like always. "Sacche log kabhi nahi badalte" (Genuine people never change) she whispered to herself. Her eyes pooled with tears as she was seeing them after 7 long years. She missed her parents. She removed her sandals and without making any noise she tiptoed and stood right behind them. She covered their eyes with each of her hands. "Ba" she whispered in the man's ear. "Nima" she murmured in the woman's ear. She felt them going stiff and tears flowed as they both shouted in unison
"Febin"

"It's time to celebrate guys as Raizada Group bags the Government of India's most prestigious project. Cheers"
Advay raised the toast when suddenly he felt an arm entangling his right hand. She roamed her fingers along the length of his hand in a seductive way. He stiffened and his hold on the glass tightened. He gave her a tight smile but felt disgusted at her touch. He closed his eyes to maintain his calm as he has been doing from past 5 years.

3 am in the night, when the whole world slept, a man rode his latest dual sport bike Suzuki DR650S at a speed of more than 200 on the lonely roads of Nariman Point. Speed thrilled him, always. Well, that was also a way to vent out his anger and frustration. He looked sideways as another bike zoom passed him. "Advay Singh Raizada never loses. Let the game begin" smirking he accelerated his bike and overtook the other bike in seconds giving a salute. The person riding Kawasaki KLR650 was perplexed for few seconds but when realisation dawned that the other person was in for a race. "It is not easy to defeat Febin" saying so she pressed the clutch harder and increased the speed. This time he was left behind. He was impressed would be an understatement. He loved people who were his tough competition. The cat and mouse game continued for another 15 minutes when she thought to end it. "Time to display skills of my modified bike" she chuckled and pressed the Power Commander she added recently. Advay was shocked seeing the person going so ahead of him. He abruptly put a break as the person skidded in front of him. As she removed her helmet, her hair cascaded down her shoulders reaching the waist. Putting her hands on her helmet and resting her fingers on the chin she teased him "Tsktsk..." and raised her both eyebrows.
He was flabbergasted seeing the rider's face. "A girl...a damn pretty, petite, beautiful, adventerous, challenging lady" For minutes, he was gaping her. She was fair skinned with a mixture of black and brown hair while her blue eyes complimented her face. Red cheeks with pert nose adorned with a nose ring. He moved further down but couldn't see much due to the leather jacket she wore. He had not removed his helmet, she hadn't seen his face. His reverie broke by the sound of her bike and saw her mocking him by saluting him. Just like he did. His lips curved in a smile as he muttered "Maar hi daala"
