Like I said I'm not that good of a writer but still hope you guys like this.
Part 1:
Late at night, akshara lay in her bed, staring at the ceiling, feeling queasy so she couldn't fall asleep. She tried everything, right from turning the lights off, turning her cell phone off & even sang herself a lori but nothing seemed to be working. Every time she closed her eyes she would start thinking about Udaipur, the city she was born in. She had a blurry memory of the place, she remembered running up the stairs at jaisamand lake & going on boat rides with her mother She had lived there for only the first four years of her life but somehow she felt a deep connection to the city & ever since her father Vishambar maheswari had told her that they were moving back to Udaipur since he was retiring.. She couldn't stop thinking about it. Somehow, she didn't quite understand whether she was over joyed or upset. She had lived in Delhi in the last couple of years and adjusted well to it. To start her life all over again in a new city. (she was sick of doing it) leaving behind friends, having to make new ones, everything in her life had always been temporary. And she would get quite frustrated because of that.
Finally, in a few hours she was going back to the roots & this time forever. Alas, somewhere between the thoughts about forcing dadi to oil her hair in the "Aangan" of her beautiful house & being pampered by Bauji she dozed off.
After days of hardwork, sending resumes, doing internships, Naitik finally managed to get a job. He was delighted, he had worked hard all his life for his Dadda Ji and to make him proud. Naitik had lost his parents in a car accident when he was only 5 years old. Life had been a bit disastrous for him as a child, from being the apple of his parents eyes to losing them At such a young age shattered him. Initially he was troublesome, but with DaddaJis control and wisdom .. He managed to turn into a hardworking, intelligent and extremely caring young man. Naitik had lived his entire life with his daddaji who, after the death of his parents, had to reopen his shop and had to earn a living in order to give naitik a decent childhood. Dadda Ji wanted to save all his parents savings for naitiks future. So he did everything he could for naitik, he saw his son in naitik and raised naitik with love and affection. Naitik too, had the highest regard for his Dadda Ji. He could do anything in the world for him, Naitik had seen him working hard just despite being old.. Naitik had decided at a very young age that he would never do anything to hurt Dadda Ji and would do everything to make him proud and give him back every single moment of peace and happiness he deserved. He made this promise when he was 10 and approaching the age of 25, he had kept his promise. It hadn't been easy for him specially as a teenager, but he had managed. Everybody needs an outlet, someone to talk To, someone to take ones anger and mood swings, that person for naitik was his neighbour jhumki .. They were the best of friends, and would share everything with each other & wouldn't be the slightest bit judgemental. They both had a troubled childhood so it was easy for them to connect. Naitik considered jhumki his sister and they bonded well.
"Akshara! Akshara!" yelled Her mother, Rajshri. Akshara put her head under the blanket and said "5 more minutes" Rajshri pulled the blanket off her bed and reminded her that they had a flight to Udaipur in a few hours. Half asleep akshara got off her bed and went into the washroom to rinse her face. She hated goodbyes and she realized she hadnt yet said goodbye to any of her friends. Somewhere inside, she didn't want to, not that she was a bad friend, but she wanted to leave happily and not with tears in her eyes. She finally felt like she was ready to go back. A whole new life, no more adjustments, no more having to wait for bauji to return safely, no more tension. She zipped up her suitcases and dragged them down the stairs. Her entire family was waiting for her in the lounge. She Giggled! And whoosh! Off to the airport and into the plane. As the plane took off, she closed her eyes for a minute & said a quick prayer to God to keep her and her family happy,safe,healthy and together always. And that this new beginning in their lives to Bring them joy and love.
The boss congratulated naitik on getting the job as the CEO of the company. Naitik couldn't have been more happier, he wrapped the boss into a hug with happiness and clung on to him until he realized what he was doing😆
Akshara & the maheshwari family landed in Udaipur. As Akshara stepped out of the plane, she felt something different, the wind blew her hair all over her face, she put it behind her ear and mumbled "it's the start of something new". They got their luggage and then Vishambar told them that instead of going back to their mansion, they were going to reside at the cottage in a small area where he was born. Dadi was delighted to go back to her house! Shaurya groaned, and replied "when we have a huge lovely house why go live in that old thing?"
To which Vishambar replied in his calm voice "I already have thought of what to do with the house, it's yours once you're married." I've given you that mansion. Shaurya was shocked. Akshara had a liking for old traditional homes and was rather overjoyed to going to the cottage where her father was born. Luxury didn't matter much to her. Despite being raised like a princess, she was a very simple girl, she would find happiness in the littlest of things. They reached the cottage & saw it was covered with dust, they managed to get a maid to clean the house off and had to wait outside with the heavy luggage till then.Meanwhile, Akshara fled off with shaurya Dadu to explore the street.
Naitik fled the office to the nearest "Mithai' shop. He had to get jalebis for daddaji today, his hardwork had paid off. He had gotten a very well paid and a good job! Daddaji would be proud of him. It called for celebration. He walked into the shop and in a few minutes had a bag full of jalebis and was ready to head home, when he happened to bump into a lady. ( well as cliche as it maybe) it was none other than Akshara, shaurya had already started trying the different type of delicacies. Akshara and Naitik happened to bump fall down in a very awkward position (imagine it yourself) . 😳.. For a moment, naitik felt goosebumps when he stared into those innocent eyes..whereas Akshara was pretty irritated and pushed him off. Naitik felt like a current flow in his body when her hand touched his body..he got up grabbed his bag of jalebis (thanked god they hadn't fallen out) , apologised and left. On his way back, as he walked, he couldn't get those eyes out of his head. He shrugged, and diverted his thoughts to Dadda Ji and how elated he would be!
Meanwhile, Akshara was rather annoyed, as her pretty dress was covered with dirt, she mumbled to herself, " so people don't even watch where they are going here" got up and dragged shaurya Dadu who was too busy eating Mithai back to the cottage.
They entered what looked like a cute little cozy house, akshara found her way into her room. She loved it already. She was tired, so took a quick shower and headed off to sleep. She knew what she had to do when she woke up.. ReVisit her childhood memories!! Take a walk down the memory lane..
Naitik reached his house.. And met jhumki outside.. Without saying anything he stuffed her mouth with a big jalebi and pulled her inside the house.. Where Dadda Ji was sitting peacefully in his rocking armchair. Naitik gave him a jalebi and ate some himself. Dadda Ji asked "what's the good news" and naitik didn't stop a second and told him that he had gotten the job. Dadda Ji was indeed very proud and patted him on the back. Then he gave naitik a tight hug and told him he thought naitik was a gem. Jhumki,naitik and Dadda Ji had a special dinner that night, naitik went to bed feeling very content!
// Precap // Naitik happens to be at a construction site where he is Incharge! Akshara steps into the construction site out of curiosity while on her expedition to explore Udaipur. A worker shouts at akshara & naitik falls off the ladder.
Hope you guys like it, I wrote it at 2 a.m. So well i apologise for any grammatical errors 😛
I know Naksh first collision was very typical and nothing unique but I'll try working on that. Making this FF unique from what typically love stories are like.
I promise there will be more NaKsh scenes in the upcoming parts.. I know it may have gotten kinda boring but I felt like I needed to give more on their pasts. Because ones past says a lot about their actions and personality.
Give me your feedback & suggestions!!! 😃
