IPKKND FF : Breathless

Hey friends, so far have been a passive member here, just reading all the amazing FF, OS and episode reviews. All this has inspired me to try a hand at writing. My first attempt at writing. Do leave your comments, good or bad.

Part 2

'Hello Mr. Raizada, Pleasure to meet you', she said as they shook hands. Arnav , who was now recovering from the shock responded 'Likewise'. He shook away all the feelings and came back to his sense and started with the presentation. Once the presentation was over and the lights were switched on, Payal spoke, 'Mr. Raizada, I am really impressed with the designs. We Gupta Empire work with only those who have the talent to deliver the best. And I see that in you. We want to do this deal with you.However,'Arnav's heart skipped a beat. did this mean that the deal was not happening? No that cant be. He had put in so much for this day.Payal continued' Since this would be the first assignment for the Gupta's , our head designer would be working with you so you know exactly what we are looking for. Hope that suits you.' Arnav felt relieved. All the years efforts would finally be paid off. A smile finally reached his lips. 'Absolutely. IT would be a pleasure working with you Ms. Gupta. I will send the contract papers once they are ready.' 'Ok then, thank you Mr. Raizada'. As they shook hands again, Arnav observed her. Dressed in a white collared top and a black skirt that ended right above the knee, she looked like a thorough business woman who clearly knew what she was wanted. Her eyes reflected this purpose. He however realised that Payal's eyes lacked the sparkle he had seen in them at the party.The lady standing in front of him resembled the one he had seen at the party only physically. Maybe he was too drunk that night, he thought.

Arnav was completely immersed in this new assignment. It was no small thing to get the designs for the Gupta Empire. They had very high quality standards to meet. Afterall, the Gupta Empire catered to the high class society and also to all the major beauty pageants. Their labels were internationally known and the fabric design was something always talked about. Gupta Empire earlier used to import these fabrics however, with costs going up their only way was get the fabrics designed in India and that is where AR Fabrics came into picture.

Arnav had been working tirelessly for past couple of days, ensuring all the raw materials were coming on time. His head was splintering with pain and he wasnt exactly in a great mood for a meeting now. However, as luck would have it, Aman came in 'Sir, we have Ms. Gupta here.'

Love the turn--where Arnav will be trying to please the Gupta sisters!!!

Part 3

'Hello Ms. Gupta. We were about to dispatch the contract documents to your office. But since you are here I will get the documents to you. Aman.' Arnav motioned Aman to get the file while still wondering as to what brought her back to his office without prior notice. Her head designer was to meet him though. 'Mr. Raizada, I cannot sign the contract' she said as a matter of fact. He was beyond shocked. Did he hear her right? And then, something happened that was beyond his imagination. Ms. Gupta looked from a shocked Aman to a speechless Arnav and burst into laughter. Arnav could not fathom what was happening. After a few minutes, Ms. Gupta composed herself and said 'I said I cannot sign the contract because I am not Payal Gupta, the MD of Gupta Empire.' Arnav and Aman looked at each other still confused. Ms. Gupta rolled her eyes and continued, 'Let me introduce myself, I am Khushi Gupta, Head designer, Gupta Empire and I also happen to be Payal's sister, which I believe caused all this confusion.' Arnav was still confused, 'But you... oh you both are twins...' he realised aloud. He looked at Khushi intently and was not surprised to see the same spark he had seen in them at the party.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Payal Gupta was 24 years old. And she was already a big name to reckon in the business world. When she came back after completing her MBA from Harvard, Mr. Gupta her father, knew it was time to pass on the baton, for he knew she had the vision, the capability and astute business sense that would take the Gupta Empire to the heights he had always dreamt of. And she had not failed him. Within 2 years, Payal had managed to take Gupta Empire international. With Payal, Mr. Gupta never felt the dearth of a son. Not that he didnt love his daughters but Payal with her sense of responsibility, was like the son of the family. If Payal was his pillar of strength, then Khushi was his sunshine. Thinking about her always brought a smile to his face. Khushi was like a breath of fresh air. Her cheerfulness, her zest for life was what ensured that the Gupta Mansion was always lively.While Payal went ahead to handle the business, Khushi decided to persue her dream of becoming a designer.And she was talented enough to handle the design department of the Gupta Empire single handedly.Though the sisters resembled in appearance, they were polar opposites. However, their love for each other was in no way under mined by this fact. Payal, who was elder to Khushi by exact seven minutes was extremely proctective of Khushi. Mr. Gupta felt at peace.However, Mrs. Gupta's words brought him out of his reverie. Yes, this wasnt permanent. The girls would one day have toleave him, to their new families, to their new lives.

Really enjoying the story...
