PART ONE
Early morning...He woke up as the alarm clock shouted.
Rubbing his eyes, he got off the bed, careful not to disturb Prerna. He checked his organizer for the day's schedule. There was a function..he was going to be awarded for some 'businessman of the yr' award. He hated these awards, but he had already agreed to attend, so he got ready.
Prerna too got ready to go with him. They hadnt spoken after prerna supported prem again. But now she was ready to come with him, and he couldn't say- 'don't come' though he didn't see the point.
They reached there and were joined by cookie, sudeep and tanvi.
Rishabh Bajaj accepted yet another award in his usual no-nonsense style and sat back in his chair again.
He had been experiencing an unknown feeling ever since he had stepped inside the auditorium..He had been to St. Andrews many times before..but this time the air inside was sweeter..or was he just feeling that way. He had come here in a grumpy mood, but he found himself in a nice mood now. There was a feeling of anticipation, or was it a feeling of remembering a nice dream...he couldn't put a label on it..but he was content, peaceful, serene, and he was so glad for that.
"Now Mr. Bajaj will say a few words"- the compere announced. Rishabh stood up..the crowd sat rapt attention..eager to hear from Mr Rishabh Bajaj. "A very good morning to you, Ladies and Gentlemen.." He started the speech. A presentation rolled on in the background about Bajaj group. There were around 2000 people in the huge auditorium..
...and she was one of them...
She watched him give the speech. The years gone by had treated him well. He had gained weight, and his hair was salt-n-pepper, he was also calmer, but he was looking even more handsome. and she felt as if time had just returned back to that magical period many years ago..
His sexy eyes..his smirk..his dimples...his strong physique..his deep baritone..he was so familiar..so close..so attractive..so handsome. She felt her heart beating faster..felt weak in her knees..felt as if she was falling in love with him all over again..
The presentation was about Bajaj Group..how big the business group was, how successful, how the Bajaj Foundation was doing its bit of charity.
She was proud..proud that he had become the man she always thought he would be..proud that he was a respected captain of Indian industry now..proud that he was committed to doing charity and social work too..
She had always wondered what happened to him after they parted ways, and now she was starting to get her answers..
