Chapter 5

In Delhi

Aditya was dreaming of a girl wearing blue saree making him smile but the scene changes to a burning house and two dead bodies then a girl appears beside him wearing white frock.

He opened his eyes and gets up from the bed then went to the window and stares at the moon, he reminisces some words

``We want or we don't want, we accept it or we deny it but our fates tie us together.'

'Anger and hatred can make people think that they won't be able to see the truth.'

'If you don't trust your partner, it doesn't mean the other will be like you.'

He tightened his hold on the window and said "Zoya Siddiqui, just pray to God that you never cross paths with me or else this time either you or me will be destroyed in my hatred."

There glint of anger and determination in his eyes.

Next morning

Aditya was having breakfast with his family, on the head of the family's chair Mr. Yash Hooda was sitting and on his left chair Mrs. Anjali Hooda was there then after leaving two chairs on the right side Aditya was sitting while opposite to him Arjun was there.

Aditya looked around and asked "Where are big brother and sister-in-law?"

To which Mrs. Hooda replies "They went to Rishi's school for the leave."

Aditya nods his head then turns his head to Arjun "Arjun regarding living arrangements…."

Arjun cuts him off then says "Alisha informed me this morning that the living arrangements will be done by her friend only. She has a house there so we all will live there."

Mr. Hooda asks curiously "Who's her friend, do we know he"

Arjun was about to say "Actually…" but was stopped as he received a call and he went from there to attend the call.

Mr. Hooda couldn't help but say "She seems to be a close friend of Alisha or else who gives the whole house for the wedding?"

To which Mr. Hooda agrees while Aditya is silent.

They continue to have her breakfast when a servant informs them that Aditya's assistant is here to meet him. Aditya calls him inside.

The assistant arrives in the dining area and tells "Sir, our informer notified me that the court has taken back it's order regarding Mr. Verma's dairy products industry instead the order is issued against his construction company."

Aditya was about to take a bite but pauses and asks "Isn't the construction company of Verma on his father's name?"

To which his assistant continues "This was fake, Verma was doing illegal business under the name of his father's construction company."

This news was a shock for Aditya and Mr. Hooda as they both don't know about it

"The court issued the order regarding using low quality raw materials but during investigation the thing of illegal business comes forward."

Mr. Hooda was dismayed and said "This Verma is so cunning, till now everyone thinks that he is a normal businessman but he was hiding such tricks."

Aditya looks at his assistant and says "So there will be no cases against us?"

Assistant shakes his head in negative "No sir, as the construction company closes down so all the other industries having any kind of link with Mr. Verma will be closed down directly."

Aditya analysis the whole situation and smirks "Looks like this time Verma touched the wrong person"

He asked his assistant "Who sent him the court letter?"

His assistant replies "The court letter was sent by the owner of ZoMeR Law Firm."

Mr. Hooda adds in "ZoMeR Law Firm, it's Asia's one of the best law firms and if I'm not wrong its owner is a female."

Aditya's assistant nods his head "Yes sir, but her name is not known to anyone as she is a low-key person."

Mrs. Hooda "Whoever she is, because of her my son came out of the problem, I'm just happy about that."

Aditya orders his assistant "As we are leaving next week so you prepare all the documents which we'll need for negotiation, also mail me all the locations which we'll need to visit and book your ticket also as you'll come with me."

Assistant nods his head in yes and goes from there.

Mrs. Hooda shakes her head and sighs "You want to do work then do, no-one will stop you but you want that innocent boy to work with you, that's so unfair to him."

Aditya smiles "My sweet mother, you are forgetting that I pay him for working and when his boss is working then he should also, okay I have a conference I'll leave."

Saying this, Aditya kisses on his mother's head and goes from there.

After one week Hooda family and Mehta family reach the Mumbai airport.

Both the families came out from the arrival and were looking here but they weren't able to see anyone for their welcome.

Alisha says angrily "Don't tell me that girl forgot to pick us up?"

Mr. Mehta tries to cool her daughter "She must be busy due to some case"

Aditya shakes his head and says "I'll call someone and we will go to a hotel and when your friend calls you, tell her to come to the hotel."

Saying this he was about to go but dashes with someone and hears a cute childish voice "Who the hell is this shameless, Ill-mannered and ungenerous person?"

Aditya looked down and found a cute 4 years old girl was rubbing her nose.

Aditya smiles then sits on his knees and asks "Ill-mannered, shameless is fine but why ungenerous?"

Mehak who heard an adult voice looks up and saw a man in front of her "Because you dashed with me then didn't even said sorry and my Mumma said those people who don't say sorry for their mistakes are stingy and ungenerous"

Aditya was listening to Mehak's talks with a smile when Alisha's voice interrupted them "Doll is that you?"

Mehak turns and runs towards Alisha "Alisha aunty!"

And hugs her
