So,Miss Agarwal. What did you think???That while Mom is away you can act according to your wishes??See,I was away only for a week and you both have gone out of control.',her mother spoke in her usual manner.

I am really,really sorry Mom.Please give us one last chance.I promise it won't happen again.',she pleaded.

What? What won't happen again?'

I promise that I won't work till late in the night.I promise that I won't skip my meals for my work and I promise that I won't bury myself in the files .',she said to her mother in an innocent tone.

Miss Rashi Agarwal,your Mom knows her children better than they know themselves.So,don't try to fool me.You are just like your dad.Both of you.Workalcoholics.I have accepted my fate.My twins are carbon copies of their father.None of them bothered to become like me.',her Mom said in a false crying tone.

Rashi sighed.She knew her mother.Sometimes she felt that instead of a choreographer her Mom should have been an actress.

In case you are forgetting my dear but I am an actress too.I did nearly seven plays before devoting my life to dance.Dancing is my passion whereas acting is my hobby.',she replied as if she had read Rashi's mind.

Turkan as rashi's mom...LOL...BRILLIANT 😆

Rashi was not surprised.Her Mom had done it before several times.Sometimes ,she suspected that her Mom knew how to read minds.

Mom,how ,how...

How do I manage to do this?No,I certainly don't know how to read minds.Its just simple deductions and nothing else.But we are not diverting from our conversation.Don't think that I won't scold you.Working the entire night in the office????? Not sleeping properly??? You are not even attending any parties or picnics.What do you want?? Isolation from the world??? And where is your partner-in-crime?? Where is Ronnie?Ronnie!! Ronnie!!! RONNIE!!!'

Rashi smiled to herself.Her mom was like that only.She was not only a brilliant dancer but a skilled painter and singer as well.In other words,an accomplished artist.She was the coolest mom in the entire universe.The eternally happy-go-lucky person,Mrs Trisha Agarwal,is poles apart from her husband who had seriousness running in his veins.Yet,when these two come together they spell charm,elegance and perfection.Both understood each other completely.Though their professions and interests did not match .Their beliefs and ideologies contrasted.And that is something which made Mr Alok Agarwal and Mrs Trisha Agarwal the best couple and according to her and Ronnie,the coolest and most awesome parents.

Her father,Mr Alok Agarwal,was an entrepreneur.He owned one of the biggest hotel chains in the world.Strong and intimidating yet gentle to his family.He was a no nonsense man and did not like to beat about the bush unlike her mother whose every word carried a riddle.Yet the common thing between her parents was that they both were extremely smart and could do anything for their family.

By the way,Rashi,I have decided that you should take a break from work for a couple of months.'

MONTHS?? No!!! Mom,you know that's not possible.'

Its useless to argue with me, Rashi.Hmmm,lets see.Where should you go for a vacation?How about New Delhi?Its been ages since you have visited Ira aunty.That's the best idea.Yes.You will leave for Delhi tomorrow itself.'

But Mom...'

No buts'.You should better start packing.And where is Ronnie?Ronnie!! Ronnie!!! RONNIE!!!'

Rashi sighed.

So,what to do now?Rashi Ma'm ,ab chalo Delhi',she thought to herself.

New Delhi,India

It was a hot day.No.Actually,it was a very hot day.This was Delhi.Extremely hot in summers and extremely cold in winters.Though sometimes the climate varied.Weather was,well,unpredictable.Just like life.Roaming near the India Gate,he was wondering on his philosophical thoughts.Philosophy.How much he loved that word! Given a chance,he would have Socrates a run for his money.Though,his only philosophy was his freewill.

Hey Ari,you seem lost.What happened?',spoke his friend Vicky.

Nothing.I was just wondering...'

What? Is it something special?Or maybe someone special?'

No.Not yet.By the way,where are we supposed to go now?

Humayun's Tomb and then the Red Fort.',said Vicky.

Great!!! And what about the Qutub Minar?

Okay,we will visit that place too.But I have one question in mind.Please answer it.'

Shoot'

You have been visiting Delhi every year since your childhood.And whenever you come here you visit all these places like a tourist who visits them for the first time.Why?'

There is a charm in these places.Each one of them has a different story to tell.Maybe,I am looking for a story too.Maybe,you know,some untold story.'

Story?But history was never your cup of tea.Why on earth..'

My friend,no more questions for the day.Come on,lets visit the remaining places and get back to your house.I want to have my cup of ginger tea.'

Bbbut what about the story?The story you were talking abou..'

Dude,enough of stories now.And moreover every story is incomplete without a plot.I am the theme of this story.I just need a plot.'

Yes,yes!! As if your plot will fly down and appear before you.'

Who knows,my friend?Who knows?',he winked.

Rashi's flight had landed.She was waiting for her aunt.Ira aunty had called to inform that they were stuck in the traffic.She was getting bored.So she took out some papers related to work and while she walking she collided with someone.'

Ouch'

Ouch,I am soo sorry,I am sorry..'

Its okay.Let me help'

She gathered her papers and stood up.She clearly saw with whom she had collied.It was a man with spectacles. He was most probably in his early thirties.

I am so sorry..',she began

Its okay.I am fine.I am sorry too.',he spoke politely before walking away.

She turned back to see her aunt standing looking extremely happy.She touched her aunt's feet and sought her blessings.Her aunt was overjoyed to meet her.

Rashi dear,how are you?How is Ronnie?And how are Alok and Trisha?'

Calm down,Aunty Ira.Lets go.I will tell you everything in the car.'

They went to Aunty Ira's house where she met her cousin Tina.

Rashi!!!! Its been such a long time.Two whole years!!!'

She was chatting with Tina when another girl entered the room.She was tall and beautiful and had an affectionate smile on her face.

Oh,Rashi,I forgot to introduce to her.She is Falguni Mehta.My friend from Mumbai.Falguni,this is Rashi,my cousin.',said Tina.

Hi ,Rashi.Nice to meet you.',Falguni spoke warmly.

Hi,Falguni.Nice to meet you too.'

They shook hands.Even though they were meeting for the first time,yet Rashi felt as if she knew Falguni.She felt a feeling of strong affinity with her.It was completely strange.

Later,when she was alone,she took out her papers again.She was shocked to find that they were not her papers.They read:

Thesis On The First Female Monarch Of The Delhi Sultanate,

Razia Sultan

By Nikhil Nirmalaya

She was dumbfounded.How did these papers land in her bag!! And who was Nikhil Nirmalaya??Then ,it occurred to her.

Oh my god!!! That guy at the airport.Nikhil Nirmalaya.My papers!!! Oh my god!!!',she exclaimed

Hopelessly,she flipped through the pages when she noticed an ID.It was his ID with his picture and number.She was overjoyed.Immediately,she called him up.

Hello,am I speaking to Mr Nikhil Nirmalaya?'

Yes.May I know who it is?'

Mr Nirmalaya,I am Rashi Agarwal.Remember,that girl with whom you collided this morning.'

Oh yes!!! I remember.And our papers got'

Exchanged'

Yes.Please ,Miss Agarwal.I need those documents.And I have your papers safely with me.Can you meet me and take them back and return my papers.'

Of course!! We should meet tomorrow itself.Let me think where to meet.'

I am going to Qutub Minar tomorrow .We should meet there.'

Okay.So,we shall meet tomorrow at Qutub Minar at 11 AM'.

Fine.Thank you Miss Agarwal.'

You are welcome'.

She hung up.She went to bed but she was not sleepy.She looked at the thesis once again.Razia Sultan.She had heard about her only once in childhood but did not know much about her.So,she read about Razia Sultan.About her life.About how she was the most capable one of her father's children.Her father Iltutmish recognizing her abilities nominated her as the Sultan.About Yaqut.About Altunia.

I hope rashi will have flashbacks in her mind when she reaches qutb minar, like baby i have been here before, i have seen this room and i have walked this floor...oooh...scary...great fanfic, its totally of my taste, after malik prisoner wife this one is my favorite. 😳 very well written...👏

It would have been great if you named jbj as jagat...ha ha...hope in this fanfic we will get dar ul falaq...or maybe ronnie and falguni...can't wait for you next update, do update soon.

Author's Note:Okay guys,here is chapter 1.If it is boring,then sorry for that.Everything is welcome apart from eggs.😃

Chapter- 2

New Delhi,India

The next morning while Rashi was having breakfast with Ira aunty,Tina and Falguni she informed them that she was visiting the Qutub Minar.

Qutub Minar? Why Qutub Minar of all the places,my dear?',asked Ira aunty.

Ira aunty,I forgot to tell you about this.At the airport,my official documents got exchanged with the thesis papers of a certain Mr Nirmalaya and...'

Her sentence was interrupted when Falguni who was drinking her juice coughed all of a sudden.

What happened? Oh,Falguni dear,are you all right?',said Ira aunty.

Yes,yes.I am all right.By the way,Rashi,if you don't mind then can I come along with you?Its been quite a while since I have visited the Qutub Minar.'

Of course.We can go together.I have to get my documents back as soon as possible.',said Rashi.

That's great!!! I will join you guys too. And after that the three of us can go for shopping.We will have lots of fun.',Tina joined in.

Vicky,hurry up!!! I have to reach the Qutub Minar as soon as possible!!',said Arihant impatiently.

Mr Arihant Saxena,do you realize that we are in the middle of a road???? I am driving as fast as I can!!,said Vicky.

Fast? This is what you call driving fast'? Why don't you let me drive?'

Are you mad?I made that mistake and paid a heavy price for it.I have experience of your driving,Ari.I have developed a phobia of speed since the day I experienced your driving.I don't want to die so soon.'

Die?? Don't you trust me? I admit that I drive fast but not rashly.Speed and safety, both are in my pocket,dude.',said Arihant with a grin.

Then keep both of them in your pocket.I am not scared of an accident.If I had let you drive,then by the time we would have reached Qutub Minar,I would have died of fear.I don't want to die before I fall in love,get married,have my children and grandchildren.'

You want to fall in love?',asked Arihant.

Yes,of course.Why? Don't you want to fall in love?

I do,my friend.I do.',said Arihant with a wistful smile.

Then,how would it feel?'To fall in love at the first sight?',asked Vicky dreamily.

Keep your sight firmly on the road,my friend.Love at first sight!! I do believe in love but not in this first sight,third sight,last sight thing!!',laughed Arihant.

Foolish young man!! May you fall in love at first sight today itself!!',joked Vicky.

May your wish never comes true,my clever friend.I am a bit unconventional so it will be a bit different for me',replied Arihant with a chuckle.

Laughing all the way,both the friends reached the Qutub Minar.

Meanwhile,Rashi had reached Qutub Minar with Falguni and Tina.She tried calling Nikhil but her cell phone's battery was down.

Oh God!!! How are we supposed to find him? How can I contact Mr Nirmalaya now?,said Rashi anxiously.

Don't worry,Rashi.He must be here.He has to be here.',said Falguni looking equally anxious.

Has to be? What do you mean Falguni?,asked Tina

Nothing,nothing at all Tina'.Hey,Rashi why don't you look around the place?Its so nice here.In this way,you will find Nikhil and do some sightseeing as well.I am not feeling well.I think that I should return back home'.,said Falguni

All right!! You can go home.',said Rashi

Falguni hurried off from the place.Rashi felt that something was wrong with her.

Tina,don't you think that something is wrong with Falguni?She was sweating.',asked Rashi.

She is not feeling well,Rashi.Maybe she is missing her family.I know her.Whenever she travels to some place,she feels homesick.

Rashi smiled.She knew how it felt to be away from your home and family.Even though it had been a day since she was here,she missed her family like hell.

Sydney,Australia

Far away in Sydney,in the Agarwal Mansion,the usually cheerful Ronnie Agarwal,was sitting alone with a gloomy look on his face.He tried to bury himself in his work but even that was boring.Well,to most of the people,work certainly is boring.But for him and Rashi,working is like a visit to the amusement park.Yes,they enjoyed being workalcoholics(much to their Mom's annoyance).He looked at their picture.They were the best buddies.They always stood by each other's side.Understood each other completely.They were together in everything.Although they were born with a silver spoon,they were never the typical spoilt brats.They were,as their Mom termed them,partners in crime.As of now,he missed her like hell.

What am I seeing? His Royal Highness, Ronnie Agarwal,is not paying attention to his beloved work!!What a divine sight is this!!!,said his Mom who had just entered his room.

Ronnie looked at his Mom with a sigh.She was,like always,theatrical.

Leave it,Mom!! You won't understand.'

Is that so?So,let me think.What is troubling my dear son? Is it some case?No! Mr Lawyer can handle any case on this Earth.Ah,I know.Had a fight with your girlfriend?No,its not possible.Mr Lawyer doesn't know the art of flirting or asking a girl out.',saying this Trisha shooke her head.

Mom!!! You know everything.Then,why are you pretending?,asked Ronnie.

I know ,my dear Ronnie.You are missing Rashi.But she has just gone to New Delhi.Not to Planet Mars.',said Trisha.

I know Mom.But you know,naa.Its just not the same without her.',said Ronnie.

I know.But Rashi was overworking.She was not paying attention to her friends or herself.She was burying herself in her work.She needed a break.And so do you,young man.So,pack your bags immediately.You will be joining your sister in New Delhi.',chirped Trisha.

What??? Mom,you should have at least asked me before doing this.I have an important case to...'

For now,the only case you will handle is of relaxing and resting.Now,pack your bags and get out of my house.Board the first flight to New Delhi.You and Rashi are exiled till you both get rid of this addiction to work.,announced Trisha.

Bbut Mom,...,began Ronnie.

No buts',Mr Agarwal.My decision is final.And not even your father can change my decision.',said Trisha.

Ronnie sighed.Mom was,well,Mom.She was completely crazy.But she understood her kids.She knew what they exactly needed even if they didn't.And moreover,he was going to meet Rashi.He planned to surprise her.

Pack your bags soon,dear.And don't worry.I won't inform Rashi about your arrival and spoil your surprise.,said Trisha with a twinkle in her eyes.

Although this was not new to him,yet Ronnie was taken aback.Did his sweet Mom really know how to read minds?Only God knew.

As Ronnie began packing with an amazed look ,Trisha looked out of the window towards the sky.

I don't know what I would have done without my twins.They are my life.And their Dad too.',she thought with a smile on her face.

New Delhi,India

Rashi was roaming around the Qutub Minar.She had called Mr Nirmalaya from Tina's cell who informed her that he will be an hour late.So,she had decided to wait for him.Meanwhile,the tall pillar which was known to be one of the most famous tourist destinations of India fascinated her more and more.The more she looked at it,she felt as if she was absorbing something from it.She felt as if there was more to this historical pillar than what seemed to be.

At a short distance in front of her his eyes stared at the pillar with the intensity of a hawk.He had not blinked even for a moment.He seemed to be lost in some deep thought.His right hand held a bottle of soft drink while his left hand was clenched in a fist.Vicky watched him looking bewildered.

Ari,I think we should leave now.You have to visit other places too.Of all the places in New Delhi,you choose to come here and spend the most of your time.Why?What is so special in this place?'

What is so special about the Qutub Minar?I don't know,maybe ,everything.The Qutub Minar is not just a pillar.It has witnessed the rise and fall of many dynasties.It has been like a companion to this city.It has been with Delhi in its good as well as bad times.',replied Arihant.He opened his bottle of soft drink and took a sip.He then spread his arms and began to walk backwards carelessly.

Vicky ,this place is a treasure house of stories.Maybe I will find my plot here.',he said as he looked at the pillar once again.

He did not realize it but as he moved his arms,the soft drink from his open bottle splashed on the face of the girl who was standing beside him looking at the pillar.This sudden incident broke her trance.It took a few moments for her to realize what had happened.She turned to sideways to face him.

He had come back to his senses.He realized his folly and turned to face her.He was a quick thinker.He was ready with an explanation.But words failed him when he laid his eyes on her face.For a moment he forgot about the Qutub Minar,he forgot everything.Literally everything.For that fleeting second,he felt a kind of reassurance.A hope.A strange sadness.A kind of restlessness.

She was angry.Terribly angry.But when she saw the emerald eyes,the anger vanished for a moment.All she felt was relief.Warm,peaceful,glorious relief.She felt as if she had found something which was lost a long time ago. She felt as if she was swayed away.

But a moment ends as soon as it begins.The very next second,she felt soft drink all over her face.Her hair was wet and she was furious.She turned to face the emerald eyed culprit who stood there staring at her face with the soft drink bottle in his hand which was still half full.

HOW DARE YOU!!! ,she shouted at the top of her voice

Can't you see that someone is standing over here?Seriously,are you blind?? ,she went on scolding him till she paused for breath.He stood there listening to her without speaking a word.

She was dumbfounded.He was simply staring at her.And he was smiling.Smiling!!! As if nothing had happened.She was irritated.She did not know what to do.She just wanted to wipe off that irritating smile on his face.Without thinking,she snatched the half full bottle from his hand and splashed it on his face.

This broke his trance.He realized what had happened.Now,his face too,was drenched in soft drink.

Okay,Ma'm!! I realize that I have made a mistake.But isn't this too much?',he asked her.

Too much? Too much? You spilt soft drink on my face and you didn't even apologise.'

I would have apologized to you.But now,just forget it.'

Would have apologized?When?When?You were simply staring cluelessly.Now,we are even.'

Even?Even? An eye for an eye is not a good thing,Ma'm.

Don't try to lecture me!! Instead of apologizing you are trying to justify your action.'

First,I am not justifying anything .Second,I will apologize to you when hell freezes over.And third,the only thing you will get to hear from me is GOODBYE!!!!'

Keep your goodbye and your stupid apology with yourself!!'

They both walked off in opposite directions angrily.

Rashi came across Tina who informed her that Mr Nirmalaya wouldn't be coming there due to some personal problem and would be meeting them tomorrow at Tina's house.

Good.Anyway,I want to go home now.Urrggghh!!! That moron!!!! If I ever come across him again,I will teach him a proper lesson.',said Rashi.

Arihant was in the car with Vicky who who asked him what happened.

Wise people have said that looks can deceive.And they were absolutely right!! That girl!! She looks like a dream but actually she is a nightmare.A scary nightmare!!!',he said to Vicky.

Ari,do you realize that all the way you have been talking about her only?You have met many people like this before.You did not spare them a second thought.What is so special about this particular individual?',asked Vicky.

Nothing.I,I don't want to talk now.',said Arihant.

Vicky looked at his friend and smiled.

You were right,Ari.You are a bit unconventional.So,things certainly have to be different for you.Love at first sight is not your cup of tea.For you,its Love at first fight.'

Author's Note:I thank all my friends for their appreciation.Here is chapter 2.I hope that you will enjoy it.
