CHAPTER 1
2016,
Delhi
Ishita walked in the room after taking bath and smiled seeing the beautiful view, her beautiful daughter was sleeping cuddling her father. Ishita recalled her daughter's birth phase, she walked to her and kissed on her forehead making her stir in sleep. "Mumma no kissi please." Ruhi said in her sleepy tone, Ishita chuckled hearing the word 'Kissi', she wiped the placed where she kissed her and looked at her husband who is sleeping in discomfort way, his hand was hanging. Ishita walked at his side and gently keep his hand on his stomach, when he opened his eyes feeling her touch. Ishita quickly moved back, "I.. I am sorry Abhi.. Actually your hand was hanging." She tried to explain him.
"It's okay Ishu.. Please relax..!" He passed a smile, Ishita also smiled slightly and walked to the dressing table.
She looked at Abhimanyu through the mirror when he was busy in admiring Ruhi, he caressed her hair and gets off from the bed. Ishita smiled, she brushed her wet hair, then put some light make up. Ishita was about to wear her bangles when she noticed one wristlet on her right hand, she caressed it lovingly as fresh tears made their way from her eyes. But at the same time her eyes fall on her family photo with Ruhi and Abhi, she eased her thoughts and wiped her tears, then she wear her mangalsutra and put sindoor, just then Abhi walked in and saw her pale face, "Ishu are you okay?"
"Yes Abhi.." She didn't look at him and walked to Ruhi saying, "You get ready Abhi.. I will make breakfast for you." She then gets in bed and lovingly caressed Ruhi's hair, "Get up chotu.. You have school..! You are getting late bachha."
"No.. Mamma.. No school." Ruhi pouted and covered her face again, Ishita was about to call her again but Abhi stopped her saying, "Ishu.. You go. I will make her ready."
"Thank you Abhi." She smiled and walked out.

Mumbai,
"No.. Mr Singal. I am not going to listen anything. If you want to work with me, you have to accept the conditions. Or else, I won't give a damn to your company. And if I am not wrong, then your company's value is falling in share market right? Now if you don't want to make deal with my company then jo bacha kucha izzat hai kya pata woh bhi na rahe and believe me, I will look after it that you won't get the position back and you know.. Raman Bhalla always does what he says." saying this he hang up the call and concentrate on his exercise.
Raman was doing his pushups when he heard Shagun called him, "Raman?" He looked up and saw her standing wearing a white knee length open shoulder dress. He stood on his heels and smiled at her, "What happened Shagun? You are so early today?"
"What? You called me early?" She said confuse, Raman flicked his eyes at her, "Me? No.. I didn't call you."
"Arey auntyji called me and told me, you have something important to announce, so I came here." She replied.
"Damn..!" He ran his finger through the silky hair, "I know why maa called you."
"Why?"
"To talk about our marriage." He said with his husky voice when Shagun blushed. "Look Shagun.. I want to make it clear to you.. I know you have some feelings for me and even I too have some feelings - but I really don't know whether its love or not. See, we know each other from last 4 years, you supported me in my bad times and I really grateful to you. You are my only friend with whom I can share everything. May be we can be a perfect couple in future.."
"What do you want to say me Raman?" Shagun asked.
"Shagun.. I need some time yaar. I know you already gave me one year but right now, I really want to concentrate on my works. I don't want to take any decision in rush, it's about our life. Shagun, are you understanding what I am saying..!" He asked looking at her.
Shagun smiled, "Raman.. I know you well.. I knew you would say something like this, so I already convinced aunty to not take such topic right now. Raman before being a life partner, I am your friend. I know when you think, what you think.. So relax..! You can take time, I am ready to wait for you."
"Thank you." He smiled.
"Please.. Don't say this.. This word never suits on RKB." She said giving a friendly hug. "Now you get ready for office, I should leave."
As Shagun took leave from his room, Raman looked at his yellow band where two letter written 'I Love R' He caressed it with a smile but in next moment he eased his thoughts making a stern look.

Delhi,
"Ruhi.. Finish your breakfast." Ishita chided her as she was troubling her mother.
Just then Abhi joined them, "Princess don't trouble her."
"Dadda.. I don't like idli sambhar.. I want paratha." Ruhi demanded.
"Don't you think Ruhi, you are getting demanding day by day?" Ishita glared at her when Ruhi didn't say anything and silently had her breakfast and left for school.
"Abhi.. Shall we go? We are getting late for office." Ishita said and they both took leave.
****
Ishita barged in Abhimanyu's cabin, "What's this Abhi? That Singhal.. He is breaking the partnership with our company.."
"Ishu.. Calm down. I know about it. I will go to Mumbai, I will personally meet him." Abhi assured.
"How could he do this? He was one who was dying to tie up with us. But now suddenly.. Some other company put some conditions and he is all ready to break the contract with us.. Huh..!" Ishita banged her fist on the table being frustrated.
"How do you know all this? Did you talk with Singhal..?"
"Yes. I thought, I could convince him but he is the most ridiculous person." She said disgusted.
"Don't worry Ishu.. I already booked my tickets and I am going to Mumbai tomorrow itself." Abhi assured and looked at Ishita who was in deep thoughts, "Ishu?"
"Huh..?" She came back from her trance.
"Where you lost?"
"Abhi.. I don't know whether I am thinking right or not.."
"Just tell me Ishu.." Abhi said.
"Abhi I am thinking to shift our company to Mumbai." Ishita said looking at Abhi who looked at her shockingly, "I know.. I was the one for whom you shifted in Delhi but how long will I run? I know we are facing losses in company. If we shifted our company there, then it would be profitable for us. We can get more contracts there, there's many fashion stores, from those we can get profit."
"But you know there.." Abhi said hesitated.
"I don't care Abhi, I moved on. I have my new family. I don't want to look back. But if you don't feel to go then no problem." Ishita said.
"No.. It's not like that. Okay.. I will see what to do.. But tomorrow I will meet that Singhal first, if I can't convince him then we will shift back there. Is that okay?" As Abhi asked, Ishita shook her head.
****
"Mr Bhalla.. That company wants to meet me. What should I do?" Singhal asked.
"I don't know. You merged your company with them, now it's your responsibility to take back. All I know is - until you free your company from others, till then I won't invest a single penny in your company." Raman arrogantly said when Singhal took leave.
Raman was sitting in his idle, he rested his head on the back of his leather chair, but then Mihir walked in, "Raman?"
He opened his eyes, Mihir saw a glint of tear in his eyes, "Raman you okay?"
Raman quickly composed himself, "Yes. Why you came?"
"Raman it had been 5 years that incident happened, why you still stuck there?" Mihir asked.
"I didn't, stop your nonsense. I moved on. I am happy in my life."
"You can tell me lie but your eyes can't and even that tears can't. Anyways, it was your decision on that day so I can't blame anyone. If today you are hurt then it just because of yourself." Mihir said with a grin.
"If you done then tell me why you came?"
"I need sign on the papers."
"Okay. Keep them there and don't leave me alone." Mihir didn't say anything, he kept the file on table and took leave. Raman again rested his head back with closed eyes.
****
"Dadda.. You are going alone, leaving me and mumma here?" Ruhi pouted as she saw Abhi was packing.
"Ruhi.. Dadda is going for work." Ishita calmly said.
"... And guess what Ruhi.. Soon we will shift in Mumbai." Abhi excitedly said seeing her sad face.
"Really? Yaayy.." But in next moment her face dropped, "Then I have to leave my school and my friends."
"There you can make friends. And we will visit here every year on vacation." Abhi said.
"Sure?" Ruhi asked.
"Pinkie promise." and Ruhi hugged him, Ishita smiled seeing her daughter happy, her eyes filled with tears but she composed herself before Ruhi saw her.
