Diwan Empire and Sharma Group of Industries are the two largest and the best business houses of Delhi.Both are well known for their brilliant techniques of business strategies.Another thing for which they were more famous in the market was their rivalry.All the time they had tough competition regarding grabbing contracts.If one wins at any time,the other grabs the next opportunity.Both their success percentages are equal.The other business groups earlier used to fight but getting defeated again and again,they lost their hopes as the win of one of them was obvious and so they concentrated more on small contracts.
Ricky Diwan and Indira Sharma are respectively the Managing Directors of Diwan Empire and Sharma Group of Industries.Though they possess the same attitude regarding each other in business,but,the handsome hunk,Ricky,likes actually,truly speaking,loves Indira very much,not because she is tremendously beautiful,but also because of her attitude and confidence regarding handling the business.The most important quality,which Ricky likes the most in her,is her anger.He likes to irritate her and flirt with her to the core whenever he got a chance because according to him,the anger and irritation on her face makes her more adorable.Indira,on the other hand,is totally devoted in the business.She doesn't know anything beyond her business nor she was interested in knowing.
Now a very big company of London wanted to make a deal with one of these business houses for the purpose of flourishing their business in India.They invited both the MD's of the respective companies to London.The night before the journey,in Sharma Mansion,Indira was packing her luggage in a very bad mood.Kutumb,her mom came to help her.She felt that Indira was disturbed due to some reason and as usual she enquired about it.All her irritation,she bursted it on Kutumb.She barked,"You don't know?How can you not know?You are my mom.You must and of course you have to know about all my problems.Its your duty."Indira was frowning in anger.Kutumb made her sit in the bed and lovingly rubbed her head and said,"That's what I want to know,whats bothering you beta?"Indira cooled down a bit but still,with an irritating expression replied,"Mom Diwan Empire has also got the proposal from that company of London like us.I want this contract desperately and I know,they will definitely try to create some obstacles in my way to get that contract.Above all,that freak Ricky is coming to represent his company."Out of anger,she grinned,"I just can't tolerate him."Kutumb understood the whole situation.She smiled and said,"So,whats your problem?Both of you are doing a business.Both of you will fight for a deal.Its nothing new."Indira replied,"I know,but the fact is that I don't like him."Kutumb smiled,"I don't understand the reason of your hatred.Though,I didn't see him much but I like that boy.He has a kind of descency which separates him from others."Indira made a face.Kutumb indirectly taunted,"You don't like him or he is too attractive and handsome which disturbs your concentration?"Indira made a confusing expression.Kutumb took Indira's hand in hers and said,"Baby,I know,business is your passion but for that,you must not forget that you are a girl too.You have raised a strong wall in front of you and you don't want to see the beautiful and colourful world on the other side of it.Beta don't do it.Dont mess your life with your own hands.Iam your mom and I can understand the feeling which you have at this moment for him and this is just because he is slowly shattering that wall and entering in your heart."She took a pause and then continued,"I know Ricky is the heir of our rival company,but the few times I met him,I have clearly seen the love in his eyes shielded by his mocking looks towards you.He loves you beta and I can guarantee that he'll be the best life partner for you."Indira got very annoyed and got up from the bed and said,"Stop irritating me mom.All this things are rubbish."She closed her eyes annoyingly said,"Just go now mom and let me do my work."Kutumb,with a taunted look,got up from the bed and while closing the door from outside,she said,"You know what Indira,you hate him because he is awakening the girl inside you against your will."Saying so she left Indira alone in her room leaving her in a confused state and Indira too,after rewinding her mom's words,after a few minutes,brushed away her thoughts and concentrated in her packing.
In Diwan Palace,the picture was a little bit different.Ricky was packing his luggage listening to music and tapping his feet alongwith its rhythm.Simi came with a cup of black coffee for him in her hand.Simi said,"Wow,my son,for the first time is so happy in going abroad for a business deal."Ricky,taking the coffee,said,"Hey mom,thanks,I desperately needed it now."She said,"By the way I came here to say you one thing that..."Ricky looked at her.She came to him and put her hands on his shoulder and said,"Well,if you want to make Indira our Daughter-in-Law,I don't know about others but I'll definitely accept her because I know my son's choice is the best and out of the world.Indira is very beautiful and she suits beside you a lot and you know what,I have already accepted her."Ricky moved a bit away from her and asked,"What are you talking mom?"Simi slapped lightly on his cheek and replied,"Now don't lie to me sweetheart,I know,this time,for this tour you are happy because Indira is also going."Ricky didn't reply.Simi said,"You can hide your feelings from everyone,but not from me,I know you love her very much."This time Ricky blushed and then said,"You understood but who must understand first,she didn't."Simi said,"I know my son very well,whatever he wants,he always have it and I know,you will definitely be successful in winning her heart."Ricky replied,"I don't know mom."Simi said,"Never loose your heart son,I don't know why but I do have a gut feeling that this journey is going to bring a new turn in both of your lives.May be through this God have some plans in bringing both of you together."Ricky said looking outside the window,"I,too,hope so."
In the airport,Indira was reading a magazine and was waiting for the flight announcement.Suddenly a hand forwarded with a cup of coffee.Indira was shocked to see it and when she looked upward,she was absolutely stunned to find that it was Ricky.He politely said,"Coffee please."She,with a disgust,closed her magazine and turned her head on the other side and rejected it.Ricky sat beside her and said,"A simple cup of coffee won't harm you and moreover its not made by me."Indira turned her head towards him and grinned,"Don't you understand,I said I don't need it."Ricky made a baby face,"Iam requesting you with all my heart and you are rejecting it in such a saddistic manner.Thats not fair."Indira got up from her sit and said,"What kind of fun you get by irritating me?"Ricky put one of his leg on the other in a cool manner,but with a naughty attitude,replied,"Because you look tremendously ravishing when you are angry,that's it."Indira was simply speechless at his blunt answer.Her heart was beating fast.Looking at her expression,Ricky said,"I know your heart is beating very fast,so just calm down."Indira gave disbelief look to him and he looked at him in a way as if it means,"I know each and every beat of your heart."She was just about to make a harsh statement,but at that moment,the flight was announced and the passengers were requested to proceed for their formalities.
The Flight reported at Hethro airport at the right time.Now Ricky collected the information from his source about the hotel in which Indira was residing.He,too,booked the same hotel.On seeing him,standing beside her in the hotel while checking in,Indira asked,"What the hell are you doing here?"Ricky,too,asked in the same manner,"What you think people do in the hotel?"Indira grinned,"I just wanted to know what the hell are you doing in the hotel where Iam boarding?"Ricky replied,"Well I don't find any board tagged here showing this as your personal hotel."Indira found it useless arguing with Ricky,so she muttered,"Disgusting!"and left.Ricky laughed for a while and said,"Your anger always makes me more mad and stubborn for you,sweetheart and I promise you that,one day I'll make you mine forever,you'll only be Mrs Indira Ricky Diwan."
Next day,Indira reached the company,"THE FRANCIS CORPORATIONS",15 minutes before the meeting. It was a very big company and contained almost 15 floors.She took a deep breath as this was a very important contract for her company.Indira asked the receptionist where the chairman Mr Francis' cabin is.She told her that its on the top,that is on the 15th floor and showed her the way to the lift.Now Indira had lift fobia.Once during her childhood,she got stuck into the lift of their office and due to lack of oxygen,she was about to die but was saved at the crucial moment.This fear still haunted her and that's why,she shifted her cabin into the ground floor and if she had to go to other companies,she goes into the lift,with the liftman.There,in front of the stairs she was standing with a worried expression in her face since she can't afford to go to 15thfloor using stairs.She was standing like a statue and lost in her own confusion,when,someone's voice broke the chain of her thoughts."Are you thinking of going to the 15th floor using stairs?"She turned and found Ricky standing and smiling at her.She turned her face against him and moved towards the lift.She pressed the lift button,but the door didn't open.Ricky came behind her and said,"Why are you showing my anger to this bichaara lift.It can't tolerate your anger."Saying so,covering Indira from her back and almost leaning on her,giving a seducing smile and with the soft touch of his finger,pressed the button and the door opened.During that period,Indira made a fist and closed her eyes.This time she was not angry,actually his closeness was making her nerves go crazy.Ricky understood her condition and felt very happy,that his presence do affect her.Ricky said,"See it also needs a bit love just like'."and gave a meaningful smile.She opened her eyes and looked at him like a demon.He requested her to get inside the lift.
When she got inside the lift,Ricky pressed the button of the 15th floor.As soon as the lift door closed,Indira closed her eyes and joined her hands and started praying to God.Ricky was constantly staring at her and was confused at her act,but one thing he understood that Indira is scared of lift.Indira was standing by leaning her back on the wall and Ricky was standing opposite to her on the other side.While the lift was going upward,Ricky mocked looking at her,"Well I didn't know that such a big business tycoon,Indira Sharma,is scared of lift."Indira slowly opened her eyes and looked with anger at Ricky and said,"Iam not scared of anything."Ricky again taunted by folding his arms,"So by joining hands were you reciting a poem?"Indira forwarded a bit with rage,"Whatever I do,that should be none of your business."Ricky muttered to himself,"Everything about you is my personal business baby."Indira conjested her brows and asked,"Did you say anything about me?"Ricky sarcastically replied,"Do you want me to say?Well if you want I can say many things about you."Indira raised her finger on him and said,"Listen Ricky,Iam totally not in the mood to fight today,at least with you.So please I request stop bothering me and don't spoil my mood."Ricky narrowed his eyes and in a challenging way said,"I,too,want something to make very clear to you and that is you have to fight with me."At that moment the lift door opened and he completed with a teasing smile,"Forever."He looked at Indira and showed her the way outside the lift.Indira was so confused with his last words that he didn't even realize that they reached the desired floor.When Ricky went out of the lift and called her outside,she became surprised at the thought that after the incident of the childhood,this was the first time when she was in the lift and she was not at all scared or truly speaking she didn't get that time.She kept on staring at Ricky confusingly as they were walking to the Chairman's room.Ricky noticed that she was looking at him.He clapped in front of her face and said,"Hello Miss Sharma,don't you stare at me like that,otherwise you may fall in love with me."Indira immediately removed her eyes from him.They reached the Chairman's cabin.Holding the handle of the door,he leaned a bit over Indira and said,"By the way you'll get enough time in future to stare."Saying so,he pulled the door and both entered inside.
The Chairman Mr Francis' gave them a warm welcome and requested them to take their seat.He praised both of their efforts for well handling the business and increasing its market reputation,that too,at such a tender age.Both Ricky and Indira thanked him.After that without wasting one more second,they started the discussion for the project.After discussing for a long time,Mr Francis requested them to make a presentation regarding their views on this project.He also requested them to make it within 4 hours and present it before them in the conference room before other members.He apologized for this rush as it was his dream project and he didn't want to late in that.Indira and Ricky nodded their head and assured him,they will be totally ready with their presentation within that allotted time.Mr Francis provided them a vacant room where they can do their work without any disturbance.When they arrived in that room,both immediately started their work.Ricky,too,was very serious in his job,so he concentrated completely on his work and didn't disturb or flirt with Indira.
Within 4 hours,they completed their presentation.Indira gave a sarcastic smile and wished Ricky best of luck.He smirked and said,"You worry about yourself because I'll win at all costs."When he reached the conference room.Mr Francis at first requested Indira to give the presentation.When she gives her presentation,her concentration always used to be in her work but that day her attention was deviated at equal intervals,due to the staring act of Ricky at her with that killer smile.Indira was feeling embarrassed to hell.Unknowingly,every time she decides not to look at him,the more her eyes are attracted towards him.After her presentation was done,all praised her but she sat on the chair with a disappointed face,as she herself was not satisfied with her presentation and gave a firy look to Ricky.Now it was Ricky's turn to present.Before starting his presentation he gave a smile to her.He gave his presentation without any diificulties and after he was done,he too was praised.
Mr Francis was terribly impressed by both of their presentation,so,with the consent of all the members,they decided to give the project,to both the companies.Indira jumped up from his seat and said,"No Mr Francis,I won't do the project with the collaboration of Diwan Empire.Its impossible."On the other hand,Ricky said just the opposite.He told,"I have no problem in working with them."His motto behind that was to see Indira everytime.Indira tightened her jaws and was about to say something very harsh to him but at the next moment controlled herself.Mr Francis told that,if they work together then only they will get the contract otherwise not and if they agree,then they will increase the investment amount.She dashed on the chair and thought over it.She thought about the fame they will get in international business if the project is successful.After fighting for a long time with herself,she agreed on the desired condition.So Mr Francis requested them to come tomorrow and they will sign the contract.After shaking their hands,with other members both Ricky and Indira left the conference room.
While walking towards the lift,Indira asked,"Why the hell were you staring at me?"Ricky,in tururn asked,"Who told you this?"Indira replied,with a straight face,"I have watched you,now just answer my question."Ricky stopped and smiled at her.He taunted,"Oh so you were concentrating on me rather than on your presentation.So sweet."Indira gave a disgusting look to him.He continued,"By the way for your question my anwer is that,if your favourate thing is placed in front of you,your eyes are bound to fall on it.I don't know about others but I'll do it again and again,as Iam not that saint."Indira was about to go when Ricky pulled her and cornered her into the wall.She was very shocked at this sudden act.He blocked her way on both sides with his hands and came very close to her.He whispered,"You are too much attractive for me to avoid you,Honey.Your attitude always makes me more and more crazy about you."He took his face more close to her.Feeling,she was badly trapped,Indira closed her eyes out of fear.At the right moment,Ricky moved away from her and continued,"Moreover God gave us eyes to admire beautiful things."Indira opened her eyes to look at him.She took a deep breath and immediately ran into the lift.
In her suite,the whole night,she could not sleep properly.Today Ricky appeared to be a little bit different to her.She never expected this attitude from him.She was having a strange feeling,which she never felt before.She was very surprised at her own attitude as nothing ever broke her concentration but today,mere a look of him made her world upside down.Ricky flirted with her many times but today when she looked into his eyes while being cornered by him,she could clearly see the intensity of his words.The look which he gave her at that moment making her restless.She was herself confused at her own feelings.She questioned herself again and again and in that process,she fall asleep.
Next day,they went to THE FRANCIS CORPORATION and signed the deal.While returning,in the lift,Ricky continued staring at her with a teasing smile.She,for a second,didn't dare to look at him,not because she didn't trust Ricky but because after the last days' incident she lost confidence on herself.When they were on the 10th floor,suddenly the lift with a strong bump,stopped in the middle.Both of them were shocked.Ricky pressed several button but it didn't work.At that time,via intercom,which was also there inside the lift,an announcement was made that the lift is jammed due to some reasons and will take about half an hour to function properly.On hearing this Indira was scared.The incident of her childhood flashed before her eyes.Her throat dried from inside.She slowly started sweating.Unable to stand anymore,she dashed on the lift floor.Ricky was confused at her behaviour.With concern,he moved towards Indira and sat on his feet,in front of her.He put his right hand on her shoulder and asked,"What happened Indira?Are you feeling sick?"Out of fear,she forgot that its Ricky and she grabbed his hand.She cried and stammered,"I I I'll die now.I I I do don't wanna die.Please s s save m m me."Ricky rubbed her head and lovingly asked,"Tell me whats bothering you?"She slowly told him about her childhood incident.He understood her fear and slowly helped her to stand up.As soon as she stood,the lift made another bump and she with a scream hugged Ricky tightly.Ricky became spellbound at this act.He too slowly hugged her and patted her back to make her feel better.The lift was moving down slowly.While rubbing her head,he said,"Close your eyes Indira and slowly take deep breaths."She closed her eyes.He continued,"I promise I'll never let anything happen to you and I'll always protect you from all evil."She opened her eyes as these were the same words which her father told her after that incident.To her surprise,she felt the same kind of protectiveness in Ricky's arms just like her father.She slowly raised her head from his chest and looked into his eyes.She got lost into it and Ricky slowly wiped her tears.They were still in each others arms when the lift door opened.Suddenly realizing the situation between them,they both broke their hug and came out of the lift.Ricky asked her to sit on the sofa in the reception lounge and requested at the reception for a glass of water.He gave the water to Indira and asked her to drink it slowly.After that,when Indira felt a bit better,both left for their hotel.While on their way,she was so shocked that she didn't utter a single word.
Next day,they went to the airport together to catch the flight to Delhi.While coming out of the cab,in front of the airport,Ricky at first got down from the seat beside the driver and opened the passengers' sit door for Indira.After coming out,she went to the cab's back to take out her luggage,Ricky stopped her and he,himself took out her luggage alonwith hers.She wanted to thank him but was unable to find words.On her way inside,at last she gathered strength and hesitantly said,"Uh-Ricky I I want to thank you for yesterday for helping me inside the lift."Ricky stopped and looked at her with a shocking attitude.He said,"Miss Indira Sharma is thanking me???Is it a dream or reality?"Indira disgustingly nodded her head and continued her way inside when Ricky stopped her.He said,"Ok ok ok jokes apart."He,with a smile,said,"No need to thank me Indira.It was my duty.The pleasure is all mine."Saying this,both entered inside.
After completing all the formalities they were waiting for the final call,when,Indira suddenly asked,"Won't you offer me coffee today?"Ricky looked at her with a jerk and found Indira giving a fade smile to him.He stared at her for sometime and asked,"Are you asking me?"Indira,in Ricky's style replied,"Well I don't know anyone else here."Ricky gave his usual smile and said,"Sure."He brought two cups of coffee and handed one over to her.After taking a sip from the coffee,she asked,"Well you said that,you will win the contract at any case,but its tied,now what you have to say about it?"Ricky replied,"Well if I had lost the contract to you then also I have won because your win is also a kind of win for me."Indira stared at him for sometime and then slowly removed her eyes from his face to her coffee cup.Holding the cup with two hands,she asked,"Why did you want to do business with me?"Ricky asked,"Do you want to hear the truth?"Indira nodded her head.He bluntly replied,"So that I can see you and be with you everyday."She looked at him with a jerk and slowly lowered her eyes.She blushed like a new teenaged girl for the first time.Ricky mesmerizingly looked at her and said,"I never had the idea that a girl can look so heavenly beautiful when she blushes and truly speaking I never imagined that you can do so."This time Indira got angry and asked,"Now what did you mean by that?"Ricky raised both his hands in his defence and said,"Don't misunderstand me actually I have always seen you in a devil avatar that's why.Iam really sorry."At his act of saying sorry Indira couldnot control herself and burst out into laughing.Ricky felt like out of the world as the sound of her laugh was so musical and rhythmic.He,with a hypnotized attitude,asked,"How many shocks you want to give me in a single day?"In order to stop laughing,she turned her face against him.She again turned her face towards him and said,"When we first went into that office,I think seeing my gestures you have already understood a bit about my fear for lift,so you deliberately fought with me so that my attention gets diverted and I don't get scared.Isn't it?"In reply,he just smiled and lowered his head and then looking at her,replied,"Some things do not need words.Do they?"They continued their stare when at that moment,there was an announcement of Delhi passengers to proceed for their flight.Indira got up from her seat and said to Ricky,"Let's go."Ricky replied,"You proceed I'll join you in a moment."Indira moved forward and when she was out of sight,Ricky took her coffee cup which was kept at the handle of her chair.He looked at the lipstick print on the cup and smiled.He then touched the cup with his lips exactly where Indira's lipstick mark was made and took the last sip and then both threw his and her cup into the dustbin and proceeded towards the flight.But he didn't knew that Indira watched him drinking coffee from her cup.That time,with a smile,she blushed to her heart's core.
When they sat beside each other in the flight,Ricky said very seriously,"You know Indira,all the time,earlier,whatever I used to say was just for the sake of irritating you,but whatever I told you inside the lift,each and every word of it was the truth,I really meant that."Indira could easily read the true concern for her in his eyes.They stared at each other for quiet a long time.Feeling the situation,to be very sensitive,he changed the topic and said,"Well I know that we are business rivals,but I have a proposal,that if we maintain this rivalry to our business only and become friends,would you mind?"Indira,on hearing this turned a bit towards him and taunted,"I just said you sorry and you are proposing for friendship.You are very fast forward."Ricky understood the meaning and corrected,"If I had been really fast forward,I would have directly proposed you for marriage."Indira gave a disbelief look but before she could say anything,Ricky continued,"Its just pure and simple friendship nothing else."Without giving reply,she turned her head towards the window.Ricky fearfully forwarded his hands and asked,"So,can we be friends?"She didn't turn her head and so disappointedly,he closed his eyes.He was about to remove his hand when Indira turned and grabbed his hand with a sign of agreeing to his proposal.She warned,"Its just friendship,don't dare to think about anything else."Saying so,she again turned her head towards the window.Ricky gave a meaningful smile and said to himself,"I promise that I'll soon turn this friendship into lifetime commitment of love."Saying so,he leaned on his seat and closed his eyes and after a few minutes,the flight took off to Delhi.
This tour started their journey of friendship which will soon mark the beginning of their LOVE.
After reaching India,while departing Indira and Ricky shook hands.She said,"So see you soon Mr Ricky Diwan."Ricky said,"Not soon...See ypu tomorrow Miss Indira Sharma and if you say about me then I'll see you everyday and I'll feel you each and every second around me."She said,"This poetic versions are too old to impress a girl."Ricky replied,"But the makers of these techniques did a lot of research of women characteristics and nature and that is the reason that the age-old techniques are still working."Indira blushed.He moved close towards her and said,"See it has proved its effects."Indira moved away and said,"Well I have to go now.Mom is waiting for me.See you in my office tomorrow."Rishi said,"And I wishi the tomorrow to come as soon as possible and remain forever.Bye."They both parted.
In Indira's room,Indira was lying down by closing her eyes on her stomach.Kutumb came to her room and saw that Indira was smiling herself.Kutumb found it very strange.She sat beside her on the bed and rubbed her hand on Indira's head and asked,"What happened darling you are smiling?"Indira suddenly opened her eyes and was very surprised to see Kutumb by her side.She asked,"Mom when did you come here?"Kutumb replied,"When you were smiling to yourself.Now tell me what happened."Indira said,"Nothing mom."Kutumb said,"Don't lie to me.Iam your mom.You were very angry before going to London and now you are smiling."Kutumb pulled her leg and asked,"Did Ricky do any kind of magic?"Indira's cheeks turned red.Kutumb remained open-mouthed.She said,"Oh my God!Look at you!My daughter is blushing.Oh God!Only God and I know how much I wanted to see it."Indira said,"Ricky didn't do anything mom.I was thinking something else and moreover I have to see that bluddy Ricky's face everyday now since we have signed a deal where we have to work together."Kutumb exclaimed with happiness and said,"Wow!Iam so so so happy!"Indira glared at her and she said,"No...I have heard that he is a very decent businessman.Its very good to work with successful businessman."Saying she immediately left from there.
In Ricky's bedroom,Ricky was dancing like anything.Simi on hearing the loud music coming from his bedroom,came to see him and found that he was dancing by standing on the top of his bed.Simi put off the music system and Ricky stopped dancing and with a very disturbed look asked,"Mom why did you stop it?"Simi replied,"Look at the condition of your bedroom.What the hell is it?"Ricky replied,"Mom Iam very happy today because from tomorrow Iam going to see your Daughter In Law everyday."Simi was confused.Ricky told her everything about the deal.Simi became very happy to listen to it.She said,"Iam so happy to hear it.Go and win her heart Ricky.I don't want anyone else to be my DIL except her."Ricky replied,"She will be your Daughter In Law only.I promise."Simi kissed on her son's forehead.
Next day,while Indira was going to office,Kutumb stopped her and gave a lunch box.Indira asked,"Why is it for?"She replied,"Its for you.Who else do you expect?I know you take lunch in office.But today I packed lunch for you because you're growing very thin darling and moreover I packed lunch for 2 persons.You share with Ricky.He'll also feel happy to see home-made food.You know..."Indira sarcastically replied,"Ya I understand everything.Now you listen to me carefully that he is just my partner in this project nothing else.I took this decision for the good of my company so please stop treating him like your son in law."Kutumb angrly said,"Its your nature to take everything in a twisted way just like your father.Your father was no less than a headache in my life that you too arrived."Indira asked,"Then you didn't you divorce him?The whole problem would have been solved.Isn't it?"Kutumb replied,"Its useless to talk with you.Do whatever you want."Indira left from there but while going she smiled looking at the lunch pack.Ricky,too,when he was leaving,Simi said,"Ricky listen to me carefully,no matter what is the time or whatever may be the situation,if while completing your work,it becomes dark,then you have to drop Indira to her home and never leave her alone.Do you get that?"Ricky replied,"Ye mom,I get that."Simi said,"And yes today take her to a good restaurant and both of you take munch and yes whenever you both go to dine,never let her pay the bill."Ricky seeing her concern for Indira,teased,"Mom don't you think that you are concerning more to your Daughter in Law than your son?"Simi said,"Of course she is my one and only Daughter in Law.Its my duty to be worried about her."Ricky said,"Mom she has not still become your Daughter in Law."Simi replied,"She will be."Ricky gave a teasing smile and then left.
Ricky arrived in Indira's office.She welcomed him and took him to her cabin.On reaching the cabin,Indira was all set to begin their discussion when Ricky said,"After almost 24 hours we are meeting and after meeting only you started to work.Now that's not fair."Indira got confused and she asked,"What do you mean?"He replied,"I mean...uh...Don't you think that since we will be working with each other so...we should know each other in a far more better way.I mean...it'll be good for our relation...I mean business relation."Indira said,"For the purpose of business relation,upto what we know about each other that's enough.Now can we start?"Unwantedly,Ricky gave his consent.They started their discussion over the project.During the lunch time,Ricky stopped the discussion and said,"Let's go and have lunch outside.Iam starving."Indira said,"No need to go outside.My mom packed me lunch and the amount will be sufficient for us both."Ricky gave a broad smile and said,"How sweet your mom is.Say thanks to her on my behalf.By the way,Iam getting bored in ths environment.I need some fresh air and if companion is so beautiful then I would like to enjoy the fresh air.Ok lets go to your canteen."Indira got up and said,"Stop flirting Ricky!Lets go!"Before she could go,Ricky pulled her towards him by her her arms and untied her hair and then said,"Beauty should be hidden and sometimes it is good to be what you are and moreover we are not going for any business lunch."Indira said,"Iam doing business with you Mr Ricky Diwan but that doesn't give you any authority to do whatever you want."Ricky replied,"Some authorities can neither be given,nor taken but is achieved and I believe that one day,I'll attain that authority to use it everytime whenever I like."Indira give a deep sigh and said,"Its useless talking with you."Ricky laughed and replied,"My mom too says that."Indira disappointedly nodded her head and they both left.
As days passed by,due to this project,they became very good friends.Alternate meetings were held in both the offices.One day,Ricky invited her for a casual dinner date.When In dira arrives,on seeing her,Ricky made a face.On seeing his expressions,she asked,"What?"He confusingly asked," Do you always use this official get up even in private parties?"She asked,"What do you mean?"He replied,"Just look at you,it seems you don't know anything other than your work.Your life seemed to be a colourless one.You are just so workaholic and you have closed yourself around the shell of your office."Indira said,"Oh please Ricky,just stop talking like my mom."Ricky happily said,"That means me and my Mom in Law have the same thinking.Very good."Indira asked,"Excuse me???"Ricky immediately corrected himself,"I mean...See your mom too thinks like me and moms are always correct."Indira asked,"So do you want me to leave from here right now?"Ricky stared at her for sometime and then said,"Yes."Indira gave him a disbelief look.Ricky without saying her anything and without letting her say anything grabbed her hand and dragged her towards his car and opened the door and asked her to sit.Indira couldn't understand anything as if everything was going above her antenna which really was.Indira,with confused expressions,sat inside and drove her to her home.
On reaching Indira's home,Ricky came out and opened the car door.She asked,"Why did you bring me back to my home?"Ricky said,"Go to your home,change this attire and wear a beautiful and pretty dress just like you."Indira asked,"What the hell is this Ricky?Why are you behaving like a kid?"Ricky replied,"If you think me to be a kid so be it.Just get inside and wear some decent dress not this one otherwise I'll never call you for any private party."Saying Ricky dragged Indira to her home and rang the calling bell.One of the servants opened the door.Ricky and Indira entered inside and he called Kutumb.Indira yelled at him,"What the hell are you doing Ricky?How dare you enter my house like that?"At that moment,Kutumb came and on seeing Ricky she totally became overwhelmed.Totally ignoring Indira,Kutumb went to Ricky and said,"Hullo Ricky!How are you beta?Indira always talks about you."Indira asked,"What?When did I?"Ricky said,"Look at her aunty,I invited her for a date and she came wearing this...this junk.My mood just crashed on seeing her like that but I don't want to spoil my date,so please...please make her wear something decent."Kutumb said,"You are right Ricky.Indira is very boaring just like her father,but don't worry I'll see to it."Saying against her will,Kutumb dragged Indira to her bedroom.Ricky was waiting outside patiencelessly and after sometime,Kutumb brought her to the hall.When Ricky turned towards them,he could not move his eyes off her.Indira was wearing a golden coloured sleeveless salwar with Ricky's most beautiful view,Indira's long hair falling on her back with a light touch of make-up.Without even knowing,Ricky uttered,"Beautiful!"He said to Kutumb,"Aunty you have magical touch in your hand."Kutumb said,"Now you can take her and enjoy yourself."Ricky took Indira's hand and then left with her.
Indira and Ricky were sitting face-to-face in the table.Ricky was continuously staring at Indira silently.At last,Indira asked,"Ricky what the hell are you staring at me for such a long time?Why aren't you saying something?"Ricky asked,"Shall I?I mean...if you get angry then what?"Indira gave a what' look.She said,"If you want to say something then please say it,don't create this suspense or else if you are interested in creating any kind of suspense then keep it with you.Iam not interested."Ricky took some time and said,"I love you Indira.Will you marry me?"Indira took some time to get what exactly did Ricky said.When she finally got it.She yelled,"What??"Everyone in the restaurant stared at her.Without noticing anything,Ricky,in a cool voice said,"I said I-love-you.Will you marry me?"Indira didn't know what to say at that moment.He asked,"Are...Are you...Are you out of your mind Ricky?Are you kidding?Do you know what you are saying?"Ricky replied,"Iam neither smiling Indira nor Iam in the mood to joke and getting angry and shouting at me like this will not change my decision.I love you Indira and not from today but from the moment I saw you from the first time,I fall in love with you.No matter whether you accept my proposal or not but I will love you always and except you no one will be my wife and I mean it."Indira's mood was already spoiled and on hearing that,she was totally devastated.She decided to leave from there.She asked her driver to leave.She was about to call him when Ricky interrupted and proposed to take her to home but Indira said,"Whatever you have done,that was enough Ricky.Now just leave me alone."Saying she left the restaurant and called for a taxi outside and left from there.At night,while Indira was brushing her hair,in front of her dressing table,suddenly her eyes fall outside the window.She saw,Ricky was standing outside and walking.Indira walked towards the window and Ricky too saw her.Both had an eye-lock.On seeing her,Ricky waved hand and passed a smile.He send a text message in Indira's phone:
"I know you don't want to talk to me.I came here because I just wanted to make it sure that you reached safely.No I can go home relaxed.Bye.Good night and I love you."
Indira looked outside the window and found Ricky already left.
Days passed by,Indira delayed the meeting with Ricky and if ever she had to meet him in the office,she used to meet him alongwith her manager.At home,Indira everytime remained either alone or busy in her work.Kutumb noticed it.One day,she asked Indira about it and Indira at first avoided it,but later told her everything.Kutumb said,"Listen Indira,I can understand what you are going through.I know you are confused,but baby for that you should not forget that you too are a human being.You have a life other than office.Now its your age to see the other phase of life,the most beautiful phase.Please come out of your shell baby and see the outer world."Indira sent Kutumb away.Before leaving,Kutumb said,"See Indira,what you want to do with Ricky that's your personal choice,but for me,you'll not get a better life partner than Ricky because I have seen the genuine concern for you in his eyes.Think about it for once."Saying Kutumb left.
Indira kept on thinking about Kutumb's words alone in her room.Suddenly,she heard a sound on her balcony.She was totally stunned to see Ricky standing on the relling of her balcony and looking at her.Indira was terrified to see him like that.She asked,"What are you doing Ricky?"Ricky said,"What do I do you say me Indira.You stopped talking with me.We meet only during meetings and that too often.Whenever I call you,you don't receive my phone.Are you upset with my proposal?If yes than Iam so sorry.I didn't mean to upset you.If you don't love me then its absolutely fine.But please give an answer.If you say no then I promise,for that,nothing will change between us.Our friendship will be just as it was and I'll never force you for anything but if its yes,then I promise,I'll love you more than my life and I'll never let tears come into your eyes.Please give an answer."Indira confusingly thought about it.Indira said,"Iam confused...I don't know what to do."Rishi climbed onto the balcony and came to Indira and said,"Don't take panic,if you want time,I can give my whole life,but whatever decision you take,just take from your heart,just listen to your heart.Iam going.Good night."Ricky turned to go,suddenly Indira from the back called,"Ricky???"He turned and looked at Indira.Indira said,"I love bengan ka bharta.Whenever Iam angry mom makes it for me.So..."She turned towards him and said,"If I ever get angry on you.You have to make the dish all by yourself without anyones help and without any mistake.Can you do it?"Ricky asked,"Ok but when to make it?"Indira looked at him with a slight smile on her face and said,"When I'll come permanently in your home."Ricky said,"Perma..."At that moment,Rishi got what Indira had exactly said.He gave a jump high in the air and opened his arms.Indira ran into his arms and hugged him tightly.Ricky said,"I'll make your favourate dish the best you have ever tasted.I promise.I love you."Indira said,"I love you too."Ricky broke the hug and from his trouser's pocket took out a ring and inserted it into Indira's finger.She asked,"When did you purchase it?"He replied,"When I decided to propose you."Indira said,"But there's a problem in there.What about our fathers?I mean dad will never agree to this alliance."Ricky said,"Don't worry.Do you know mom loves you very much and she is waiting for the day,when you'll come in our house as my brideI know she can manage dad too.I trust my mom because nothing is impossible for her.After all,rivalry is in business not in relationships."Indira said,"My mom too like you very much.But Iam afraid of my dad."Ricky huged her back and said,"Don't worry everything will be just fine."Indira closed her eyes in his arms.
Indira and Ricky started dating with each other and after a few days,respectively told everything about their relationship to their fathers,Inder Sharma and Aniruddh Diwan respectively.In Indira's home,when Inder came to know about it,he was very angry on Indira and scolded her for choosing their rival family but Kutumb tried to persuade her calmly.She said,"See I know you are angry,but love doesn't seek destination before entering into lives.It is God's gift and they didn't but he chose them.Look at her eyes,she really loves him and she'll be happy only with him.Rivalry is in business not in hearts.I will not force ypu for anything.But think what you want.Do you want a husband for Indira who is rich or a husband who will love her.Do you want to see your daughter enjoying a lavish life or a life full of love."This thing made Inder tensed.he thought about it for a long time and then finally went to his daughter and asked,"Do you love Ricky?"She nodded her head.He asked,"Do you think he'll take care of you and give you all the happiness for the whole life?"She again nodded her head.Inder said,"Ok I'll talk to them."Indira out of happiness hugged her father and thanked him.In Ricky's house,Simi didn't persuade her husband,but blackmailed him and said,"If Indira doesn't come in this house as Ricky's bride then I'll not let Ricky marry anyone else.Mark my words."Now Aniruddhis very scared of his wife,so without asking anything to Ricky,he agreed to talk with them.Ricky said,"Mom you are just great!"Simi replied,"What to do when your father doesn't understand anything but blackmailing."Both the families talked and fixed a date of meeting.
In a 5 star hotel suite,they met.Inder asked Ricky,"Are you using my daughter for business purpose?"Ricky said,"No,I genuinely love her."Inder asked,"Will you make her happy forever?"Ricky replied,"I promise and if ever I fail,that will be the last day of my life."Inder said,"I love my daughter very much and she loves you and I can't do any kind of compromise with her life and happiness.So I give my consent to this alliance."Aniruddh said,"I too was not ready for this marriage,but I too accepted the relation for my family.I too give my consent to this marriage."Both the families except the respective heads were very happy.Indira and Ricky took all the elders' blessings.
