Prologue
She switched on the TV looking for any signs of disturbance, she didn't want to get caught this time around.
"Siddhant Sinha captures headlines once again. He has acquired all the five firms he promised to do. The lawyer turned businessman has all the skills from quick wit to a calm demeanour." The reporter spoke making her heart swell with happiness.
"Mr. Sinha, what is the reason behind your profound success in a matter of a mere 2 years?" The reporter questioned.
"I always had the quick wit I possess and the skills to make use of it but the calm composure you see in me is my new and improved version. This has all been possible because of someone who is very close to my heart!" He completed with a smile lingering on his lips.
"Anushka!" A voice called out to her but she was lost in what he had spoken, what did he mean by the last lines.
"Kitni baar kaha hai, ye sab bakwas mat dekha karo!" Prabhakar retorted, he had an angry and glum expression on his face. Anushka came back to reality with his thunderous response.
"Sorry Prabhakar uncle wo.." she tried to come up with an escape but saw Prabhakar showing his palm asking her to stop with her excuses.
"Dekho Anushka, Siddhant ne apni marzi se apni zindagi chun li hai, par hum ya tum, koi bhi use isme support nahi karta hai. Toh please meri baat maan kar, usko bhul jao." He said with a finality in his tone and left from the place.
She didn't know what to think about after the day's events. Siddhant, his inspiration or Prabhakar uncle's words. She had only one way to calm the turmoil in her heart.
Picking up her phone, she dialled the number. Her heart thundering as she gathered herself and mentally noted what she was about to speak.
"Hello, Anushka?" She heard his voice filling her ears.
