CHAPTER - 2

AGARKAR NIVAS

PAAVAK'S POINT OF VIEW

I looked at the clock it showed 5 am. It is time to do my morning workout. I didn't sleep the whole night since I was busy with my work. I don't know how many days I have not slept in these past six years. Today what I have is all because of my hard work. I started to make everything from the scratch. Today my company Agarkar constructions stand as one of the topmost construction companies in India. I never wanted to be a millionaire. All I wanted was a simple life. But everything changed because of her. "Nira Joshi", the name which I hate the most in my life. I want to destroy her.

When all these things were running in my mind, my phone started to ring...

The call is from my PA, Sreesha. She is the girlfriend of my brother Aavir. There are in a relationship for the past 7 years. She is the one who helped us a lot when we lost our parents. She is really a gem unlike that murderer.

I attended her call, she reminded me about the meeting we have today with the Meridian group of Hotels Chairman. I said to her to meet me directly at the rendezvous.

I went to my gym and worked out for 2 hours and came back to my room. I got freshened up and got dressed in my suit. I started to wear my tie, then suddenly my past came back in my memories. How she used to make me wear my tie every day. I still remember all her smile. It was the most innocent smile I have seen in my life. But I never thought that there will be a witch who was hidden behind her innocence. I came back to reality and wore my tie as soon as possible and went down to have my breakfast.

There my brother Aavir was waiting for me in the dining hall. Our family used to call him as laddo as he looked chubby during his childhood. He was the one who is actually broken more than me because of Nira. He loved her more than me. I went near him and sat down.

"Bhai, did you complete the presentation?", my laddo questioned me.

"What do you think about your brother? I completed it perfectly", I said to him.

"Did you sleep Bhai? I am damn sure, you never slept for a minute, right? I told you Bhai this project is not important", he spoke to me with so much concern.

Why not? We only have each other for us.

"Laddo stop worrying. It is the most important project in our life. You know why? Because our competitors are the great Joshi constructions", I smirked, saying this to him.

"I know Bhai, the most awaiting day of our life. I want to see Nira beg in front of us to save her constructions. And stop calling me laddo, I have become more handsome than you", he said with fake anger.

"You are always my laddo. We almost destroyed Joshis. Today is our last strike.", saying this we both completed our breakfast and left for the meeting.

AAVIR'S POV

We stopped at the entrance of the Meridian Hotel and went inside the cabin where they asked us to wait. My girlfriend Sreesha entered with the files that are required for this meeting and greeted us. She is such a pure soul. She is very traditional too. She never spoke bad about Nira even after knowing what she did. She always said that people will face their own Karma. But how can we leave our parent's murderer.

I feel ashamed of myself. Because, Nira Joshi was my best friend in college. I loved her to the core as my friend. I always took her side whenever she and Bhai fought.

Then my thoughts were broken when Kirush Bro entered the hall. He is my brother's best friend and our business partner. He was the one who supported us financially as well as emotionally. He is the one who saves me from my Bhai whenever I got caught flirting with our staffs.

"Good morning laddo", Kirush bhai greeted me. Sreesha giggled when he called me as laddo. Because she knows very well that I hate that name.

"Morning Bhai and please don't call me that", I whined.

"Well, I will stop calling you that once you stop whining like a baby", he laughed saying that. My Bhai and Sreesha joined him.

"Cool laddo. You look cute when you make that face.", Paavak Bhai said.

"Can we start talking about the presentation?", I asked them.

They know me very well, so we all started discussing the topic.

A guy came and called us to come inside the hall.

Mr.Rajvanshi asked us to start the presentation. He is the Chairman of Merdian group of Hotels.

As usual, my Bhai gave an excellent presentation. I am damn sure this project will be ours.

"Mr.Agarkar we have one more constructions who is going to give us a presentation after seeing them, I will tell my decision", Mr.Rajvanshi said to us.

We left the meeting hall and went to the waiting room again.

The waiting room door got opened and all our heads turned towards the person who is standing in the entrance of the door.

NIRA'S POV

We were late already. While going to the Meridian hotel I got a call from my company that they have an issue in the office. So, Dhara went to the office to check the problem. I dropped her in the office. Now only Shreya is with me. We somewhat reached the venue on time.

They asked us to wait in the waiting room. When I entered I saw the two most important people in  my life. After six years I am seeing them face to face. I have seen their faces in the internet which always gave me information about their success.

"Hi Nira. How are you? Such a long time it has been." I turned towards the voice of the person who is approaching me. It was Kirush Bhai. He is the best friend of Paavak. He tried so much to stop our divorce but still nothing happened.

"She was good so far, but today she met you right, then it will definitely be bad for her", it was Shreya who said this.

Shreya and Kirush Bhai are like Tom and Jerry. During my Sangeet ceremony Kirush Bhai accidently poured juice in Shreya's dress. From that time both are like this.

"Who asked you Miss Evil Queen, I asked my sweet sister", Kirush Bhai mocked her. From the Sangeet day he used to call her as Miss Evil Queen.

"Oh Please, sweet my foot. Where was your love for your sister when she was being accused of something which she didn't do Mr. Arrogant ?, Shreya almost shouted.

Kirush Bhai's face fell. But I knew he could not have done anything at that time.

"Guys stop your Tom and Jerry fight", I made them quiet.

"I am fine Bhai. How are you doing?", I asked him with a smile on my face.

A guy came and said that I should go inside the meeting hall. I prayed that I should get this project at any cost. But I did not forget to notice two pairs of eyes gazing at me with so much anger and pain....
