Chapter 1:
It was a fine day as Bani Dixit drove along the roads of the busy Mumbai from her hometown Mt. Abu. She was here for a business deal with her boss, AD, who is the owner of the famous Deb Travel Agency. Bani has been working as his assistant for the past 1 1/2 years and this is her first official trip outside Mt. Abu. As she was driving, she observed the buzzing city and was amazed at its development. She saw her engagement ring and thought of Daksh, her fiance. She also thought of her upcoming wedding that is in 3 months time and blushed. AD who saw her blushing asked, "Thinking about Daksh aren't we? Did he call you? Does he know where you are?" Bani smiled and told him, "Yes, I'm thinking about Daksh. He didn't call cause he is on his way to Australia for a big business deal and I didn't inform him where I am. Later when we reach there I will call him."
AD who was concerned for her could help himself but asked, "Is everything alright between the both of you? You can share with me if you want, I am willing to listen." Bani was quiet for a while when suddenly she said, "He wants me to quite this job and be a housewife, so with that he left to Australia angrily. I didn't have a chance to tell him about this trip." "Don't worry, so how is the marriage preparation going on? Is all set for the big day and when is the big day?" asked AD. "Oh, AD the marriage preparations are all well and the date is in 3 months time. So tell me a bit about this client that we are about to meet, you never told me about him," she changed the topic.
"Oh, I think it slipped out of my mind. His name is Jai Walia and he is one of the most successful businessmen for his age," said AD. Upon hearing the name Jai Walia, Bani shuddered and it brought back unpleasant memories. "Impossible, there are many people that go around with that name and it definitely can't be him," thought Bani but here thoughts were interrupted by AD's constant calling, "Where were your thoughts? You have to turn here and we're here already." What she saw left her in awe, the house; wrong she thought this is a mansion. It was so big; she was gathering her things while AD spoke to one of the servants. She felt tired and her legs were aching because she drove all the way from Mt. Abu till Mumbai.
AD came back to her and told that Mr. Walia was expecting them. He then introduced her to the mansion's head butler, Tony. He brought them to the living room and told them to wait while he informs his master. After Tony went, AD said, "Bani, I hope that we are able to secure this deal and then nobody can touch us." "Don't worry we will definitely get this deal and besides that we have a good reputation. I'm sure Mr. Walia would want to sign the deal with us," as she said that Tony came and said that his master is on his way with he went off to do his work. Bani was amazed with the way the house was decorated, when she heard, "Welcome Mr. Deb, I'm Jai Walia. I hope that you had a pleasant journey here." No, it can't be, she thought. Her worse fears came true when she turned to see the owner of the voice and became pale. The face and voice that she hated for the past 7 years brought back unwanted memories.
