"We are never destined to be together, Ranveer."

He sprung up from his cottony bed, realizing it was the same dream, again. It's the same case for him, since the past twelve years. Twenty five now, he doesn't care about them. Yet, he is. He has not seen the girl in his dream. Ever. The only details known about her was her birthmark, assumed by him. The girl has a thumb impression on her right wrist.

He yawned heavily, rubbing his eyes, "Why is this dream a never ending one?" he thought seeing the clock along his bedside table.

"Is it seven already? I must get ready." He thought and took his towel and garb for the day, entering his wash.

Ten minutes later, he saw himself opposite the mirror, setting his hair and his tee. He was wearing a dark denim jean and a black tee and was accessorized with the same coloured digital watch showing 7:20. Having one final look of himself and complimenting it, he went towards the kitchen, for his breakfast.

"Good Morning, Monsieur." he heard his helper who was cleaning the dirty plates. He continued "What shall I prepare for the day?"

"Morning, well I don't want any. I mean, I'll prepare the breakfast on my own today. Take an off." Ranveer said, smiling when he saw his helper in mirth.

"Are you sure?" he confirmed.

"I don't think I said anything wrong to reconfirm it." Ranveer replied, in his usual baritone.

As the helper left the kitchen, he sneaked out to check if he had left the kitchen, for real. Heaving out, he took out two mugs, preparing coffee and doing the French toast, simultaneously. Ranveer never cooks unless he's happy for something. The last time he cooked was on his mother's birthday. And today, he's cooking again. Not because it was his mother's birthday or his. It was because of her. Ishani. Love makes you do anything and everything that you hate, and cooking was one among them for Ranveer.

He transferred the breakfast and the coffee to the mugs and plates respectively, when he heard a Boo'. Panicky as he was, he turned around to see her, as beautiful as ever. He simply stared at her beauty for the few seconds when she snapped her fingers at him saying, "Hey! Good Morning!"

"Uh? Oh yeah, Morning." Ranveer replied, embarrassed. He gazed at her black formal skirt and the white shirt inside her coat. He had seen so many of them wearing the same outfit over the years. But this was different, at least according to him. For him, Ishani was the synonym of beauty.

"Are you okay, Ranveer?" she said, her gaze at her skirt, "Do I look haunted?"

"No. Not at all! You look gor..."

"I look?" she asked, her enthusiasm levels spurting out.

"You look...ghostly!" he laughed out loud. That laughter of him was the first one in those seven long months. He never laughs and even if he does, it's just a chuckle.

"What?" she looked at him flabbergasted, "Are you serious? I shouldn't look so! It's my interview today and I have to look good." Ishani continued and stared at the now laughing Ranveer, who wasn't in a mood to stop that.

"Ranveer..." she called him, her gaze meeting his. She had never felt this chumminess anywhere. She had just met him the night before and it's like she had already spent her life with him. She simply gazed at him lovingly as he saw her with glee.

"Okay, you look good, actually. I was just kidding." Ranveer blurted out when he earned a mock punch from her. Giggling, both of them went towards the dining, their breakfast, on their side, opposite to them.

Having some coffee and a bite from the toast, Ishani looked at him awkwardly when he saw her, in question. She wanted to ask him, but she didn't. She wanted to make it clear, but was afraid. What if he says a yes?' she thought, refraining to ask the question.

"Ishani, do you want something? You seem tensed." Ranveer figured her tension as she saw him shocked.

"How is this guy figuring out everything that is running on my mind?" she thought when she gave him an awkward smile.

"Well, I wanted to ask you something." Ishani admitted, but did not ask the question which she wanted out. Instead, "Can I have your phone? I want to seek blessings from Nysa and my phone will not be reachable. Can you?" she asked, in prayer, her hands now joined.

"Is that what you wanted to ask me? I don't think so." Ranveer said, sipping his coffee from the mug. Afraid as she was, Ishani sensed soaked drops of sweat in her skin when she reassured him, though he knew that she was lying.

"Yeah, here you go." Ranveer gave her the phone as she dialed for Nysa. Three minutes later, she picked up the phone when Ishani squeaked "Nysa! Ishani here!" Her one squeak made him smile blushingly. He found her too cute to be in her early twenties, assumed by him. Looking at her in awe, his hands resting on his chin, he heaved out a sigh as she continued,

"Nysa, I have my appointment at 10. Wish me luck, please..." she pleaded like a baby, according to him. However, any other human would have called his view of her being a baby, lame.

"All the very best, sweetheart. May you get the best. I'll pray on behalf of you in the church." Nysa said, lovingly. Motherly love. Nysa was a lady in her mid-forties. Nysa adopted Ishani from the orphanage when she was twenty three. She was a woman with a golden heart, according to the neighbourhood. With a cropped hair and a lean figure, no one can bet that she was forty six.

"Thank you so much, Nysa. Okay, I'm leaving for the interview now. I'll call you after it's done. Love you, bye!" she quipped, cutting the call as she now noticed Ranveer, who was lost in his own world, according to her. But truth be said, he was lost in her beauty and innocence. Anyone who came to visit him would say that he was in love. Such were his eyes.

She saw him awkwardly when Ranveer came back to his senses, realizing that he was lost in her gaze. Getting up, he said "All the best." Extending his right hand towards her, he called her for a handshake when her cream coloured softer ones came in contact with his.

"Thank you." Ishani said, eliminating her hand from him reluctantly. She wanted to go for the interview, but didn't want to leave him.

"Shall I drop you?" Ranveer asked her. It was like her dream come true, according to her. Nodding swiftly, they both got inside the car, driving down to the Oakley's.

Reaching the place in the next one hour, both of them got down gazing at the biggest resort of France. Ishani had never seen such a huge land before her in her entire life. It was only yesterday she thought Ranveer's penthouse to be the biggest in the world. But she was proved wrong. The huge fountain in the centre of the resort was so beautiful. The water was as clear as crystal. The right side of her had a baby lake which had rocks surrounded by it. The water looked so clear that anyone can look through the other side. To her left was the entrance when Ranveer asked her, "Is this the place?"

Getting back to reality, she nodded, "Yes. Thank you so much. If I get selected, I'll throw you a tiny party and then..."

"Then?"

"Shift my place." Ishani said, sadly. Her voice usually describes her emotions. Be it sad or happy.

"Okay" Ranveer answered her, unenthusiastic as he now saw Ishani out of his sight. She was nowhere around him for her getting inside for her interview.

As she entered the hall for her interview, she saw many other people, just like her praying for their job when the clerk called by her name, "Miss. Ishani!"

Ishani looked at him, confident as he said "Welcome, Miss. You'll get inside the next." He said, giving her an alert. Minutes later, her turn arrived when she saw her future staring at her. "God! I should get selected in this. Only then will I be able to see Ranveer." Ishani thought as she entered the cabin of the Managing Director of the resort. The plate had credentials RV as she saw them, tensed. She looked around only to find it empty when she heard footsteps of someone. Assuming it to be the Managing Director, she stood by a side, bowing down like a slave as she sniffed a familiar scent. Looking up, she saw the Managing Director of the resort sitting on his rolling chair, like a tsar, as always.

"So, Miss. Ishani, right?" he asked her, his gaze at the chair, asking her to sit. Ishani stood shocked, stunned when he reminded her, "Sit down, Miss. Ishani" his voice, a bit louder and irater than the last time. She was still coming back to reality when she was asked her professional certificates and her resume.

"So why have you planned to join this industry?" he asked, with a screech baritone.

"It's because I wanted to. I mean, it's my dream to join the industry." Ishani said, stammering like a kid.

"Good" his voice, diplomatic, "Are you confident that you can crack this?"

"Yes, Ran...er, sir. I am" she said not sure of whether to call him sir or by his name.

"That's nice. How will you contribute to the industry?" he asked, gazing her.

"I'll make sure that I'll give my best." Ishani said. She has never stammered in such a fashion in her entire lifetime. Ever.

"That's cool. You're now selected. You'll be appointed as a trainee and will be under supervision for the next one month. If your work is liked, we may retain you. Otherwise, you'll be taken out. Hope you get what I mean." Ranveer pulled his hand for a formal handshake. Standing up, she gave him one, smiling.

"Thank you so much, sir." Ishani said when he got up.

"Make sure that all the other persons are interviewed properly. You take care of that because I have got some personal work now." Ranveer said to his personal assistant and looked at the now smiling Ishani.

"Ishani, come out." Ranveer said his voice as angry as ever. Afraid, she took her certificates and followed him to the premises.

"So, how was the interview? Appointed?" Ranveer asked her, as though he didn't even know what was happening. Ishani simply stared at him in sheer disbelief, when both of them started laughing hard at each other.

"I didn't even realise that it was you!" Ishani said, laughing out hard.

"Really?" he said, removing his coat and advanced towards his personal cabin. "Ishani, come along!" he said, inviting her. As they entered the room, he sat down on the cushiony couch and waved her to join him.

"So you changed into a coat after coming here!" Ishani said, looking at him lovingly.

"Yeah. I did. So, now, throw a party!" he squeaked, now changing his position, opposite to her.

"Party? Now?"

"Yeah, now!" he said, his eyes as mischievous as ever.

"Nah. Not now, Ranveer. I'm on duty now" she showed her tongue to him as he saw her, naughtily.

"Okay. So what about by five? Your work timings are done by then, right?" he smirked at her when she nodded, childishly. For Ishani, this was the best thing that has happened with her. She thought that she'll never see him in her life. But her luck, she was hired in his resort. Life was indeed kind upon her, she thought.

It was the time for dusk now as Ranveer came out from his cabin, after his meeting with Mr. Dawson. He skimmed through the whole place for her when he found her at the reception desk, helping the receptionists in filing the latest reports. Smiling at her, he called her, in the most diplomatic way he could but failed in doing so.

Ishani turned towards him as she advanced towards him, quietly like the normal staff. She was trying hard to control her laughter and thankfully, she did.

"Ishani, it's getting late and I'm freeing you a bit early today because it's your first day. Be on time, tomorrow. Nine, at sharp" he said, his hands inside his pockets and eyes, on her.

"Yes, sir. Thank you." Ishani left the place in a jiffy waiting for him outside the resort while Ranveer changed back to his denim jean and black tee. Sneaking out from his cabin, he ran towards the entrance when he saw her waiting desperately for him. Advancing towards her, he said "So, where's the party happening at?"

"I don't know. Anywhere!" she threw her hands up in the air, devoid of any idea.

"Oh c'mon Ishani! You gotta be quick in decision making." Ranveer impressed upon the word quick'.

"Okay" she sighed, chafing her head, thinking of an ideal place. She was thinking so hard because, she thought that it was her first date with him. She wanted the place to be simple at the same time, special too. Ranveer too, thought the same as he was gazing at her, in love.

"Did you get any?" he asked, bored.

"No." Ishani said, dejectedly.

"Ishani..." he bemoaned her name in dejection when he squeaked "Hey! How about that place?"

"Which place?" Ishani asked him, in question.

"That's a surprise." Ranveer said, getting inside his car. Signaling her to get in, he said "Fast! It's late already!"

"Okay." Ishani said, thinking of what the place could be.
