ARSHI FF: Meant to be...

CHAPTER 1: All I know since yesterday, Everything has changed...






















SIX YEAR LATER









G.K. CONSTRUCTION, DELHI, 10:30 AM










Important meeting was going on in conference room with important & senior stuff of G.K. construction about a joint venture with a reputed international company as Epshita speaking in her strict voice: “So AKR Corp. wants to open their branch in India & working with them on this joint venture would be very beneficial for our company in international market. They are best international company & this is their 1st project in India while we are India’s no. 1 company already & as to get in international this venture is golden opportunity. So what you guys say?”





All nod in agreement since it’s very profiting opportunity & Epshita continues: “So the AKR representatives are coming to India after 2 days & since they don’t have any office here in India, they’ll initially be working from G.K. constructions temporarily while working on the project they’ll set-up their office here after which they’ll shift there. So after 2 days 2 representatives would be arriving & they’ll start the initial work of the venture & after few days other team members would join & the project would be on floors in full mode. So I want you all to co-operate, if you have any personal differences or problems keep them to yourself but nothing should mess this deal up. Do I make myself clear?”





All respond together: “Yes ma’am”





Epshita sternly informs: “Very well, they’ll arrive day after tomorrow 11:00 AM & everyone should be present to receive them. That’s all about it, now everyone back to work.”





As everyone got up leaving the conference room to get back to work & last remain persons were Epshita & Kunal as they last person exited leaving them behind. As the door closed she signed heavily making Kunal look at her concernedly: “Tum theek ho Epshita?”





She nodded weakly saying: “Yeah, just stressed a bit about what is going to happen after 2 days. Sab kaise react karenge Kunal? Do you think we should have told them?”





Kunal making way to her & put a hand on her shoulder assuring said: “Don’t worry it will be fine & they said it’s gonna be totally professional, whatever past problems were won’t be coming in between & anyways they have moved on for good, so quit worrying.”






Epshita concerned said: “Yeah, I know they said it’s gonna be professional but that’s from their side, what about others? You very well know how things are here Kunal, pata nahi kya hoga. I know they have moved on for good but how would others take it? I don’t think they’ll take in very good way & I can’t stop worrying.”




As Epshita-Kunal shared same look knowing it was true & they hoped it would turn disastrous event but no worrying is of any us. So for now putting it all in back of mind they both went back to their work.





























---------------------




























After exiting the conference room Lavanya, Samar, Tuli, Aman, Anjali, Yuvi, Mayuri, Akash, Payal & NK made way to cafeteria for a cup of coffee before getting started with the day’s hectic schedule as the long early morning meeting about the joint venture made them sleepy & they need to recharge before getting started in full mode. They entered the cafeteria & sat on a large table after placing their orders chatting casually.





Aman said: “Yaar, yeh Lady Hitler kitna kaam karwati hai humse normally & now for this international venture would make us do overtime” groaning frustrated hitting his head on table & others nodded in agreement.




Payal commented: “Seriously guys! Yeh Lady Hitler nahi Hiler ki Amma hai! It’s like she is making us work double these days, I feel so in need of a break!” making a face as the waiter came with their coffees passing to everyone theirs left as they got back on topic.







Anjali sipping her coffee said: “Yeah I need a break too.”





Mayuri added" “Arey nahi Payal, what he use to say...” thinking a while than brightened remembering: “Haan, Gabar Singh ka female version, Arnav use to say”







Bursting into a laugh but then sad tears came turning in sob with others sobered into sad faces as Mayuri weakly said: “Pata nahi kaha chala gaya. It’s been 06 yrs & he didn’t contact us once nor do we know where he is!”






Yuvi gave her a comforting side hug saying: “It’s OK” sad himself missing Arnav & Lavanya bowed her head trying to hide her tears which she wiped hurriedly.




Samar looked at all the gloomy faces & said softly: “Guys its OK, wherever Arnav is he is happy & moved on in life for good, he wouldn’t want to see all sad. Aur vase bhi he is still in planet earth, so we would sure get to meet him.”







Trying to cheer all & they gave a weak smile wiping their tears.




Anjali nodded saying: “Yeah, hum phir zaroor milenge usse & after he comes back our gang would be complete especially Lav would get her ‘happily-ever-after’ with him.”





Excitedly but as soon as those words came out she regretted saying it & looked at Samar while others too got freeze, looked at Samar’s face who was having an unreadable calm expression glanced at the staring faces said quietly shrugging: “It’s okay Anji I won’t blast like an volcano, Lavanya deserves her ‘happily-ever-after’ in fact everyone does, it’s not wrong to wish one. But would she get it with Arnav or not that’s a whole different thing.”





This comment made Lavanya fume: “What do mean by that I won’t get my happily-ever-after with Arnav? He loves me & I love him, woh wapas aayega toh sab theek ho jayega.”






Samar calmly sipped his coffee replied: “06 yrs is a long time, a lot has changed in this 06 yrs. You’re not the same person, not me or anyone else. So won’t Arnav be the same either, he left from here to move on & how do you know he hasn’t move on & got over you?” there wasn’t any bitterness in it, only a curiosity.






Lavanya determinedly said: “He can never get over me & I know he still loves me”




Samar shook his head at her stubbornness said: “You never know Lavanya, like I said 06 years is long time. Logo ko badlne me 6 pal bhi nahi lagte, 06 saal toh bahut lamba waqt hai. Anyhoo guys I’m done, I’ve a meeting in 15 mins. See you all later” as he got up leaving from there.





Lavanya was fuming as she huff saying: “Samar aisa kaise bol sakta hai! I know he said all that because he is jealous!” others didn’t like her saying that especially Akash-NK as Samar is brother & he didn’t say in taunt, he stated general possibility.





So NK said: “Lavanya we all know that your & Sam’s marriage is falling but he didn’t say that to taunt you, he stated the obvious. You like it or not but it is true, you never know maybe Arnav got over you & moved on because this was the sole purpose he left Delhi. Well guys I need to get back to work, see you all later.”









Getting up & Tuli also said she has work, got up, leaving behind everyone in thoughts of possibility of Arnav getting over Lavanya but all found it too hard to happen as they knew how much Arnav loved Lavanya. Seeing it was getting late, they got up getting back to work but back of their mind all wondered what would Arnav be doing, where would he be now?

AKR CORP. HEAD OFFICE, ENGLAND, UNITED KINGDOM, 01:30 PM












A British man in early twenties was sweating furiously as he walked to his boss’s cabin with the file he was suppose to have finished but hasn’t shivering like a leaf in storm especially since boss is in extra foul mood today as he prayed almighty for rescue.






Reaching the cabin door he send a quick prayer & knocked on the door to which he got a rough: “Come in!” been barked making him scared shitless as he fearfully entered the lion’s den.





A handsome man sitting behind the desk typing furiously on the laptop with frown on his face as he brought one hand out in gesture to give file wordlessly without looking up & the scared employee placed it silently praying his boss won’t see the file now but clearly seems his bad luck was very bad today & his boss opened the file & as expected exactly after 10 seconds he exploded in a loud angry: “WHAT THE!!!!!!!!!”






He looked up at the scared employee in front with angry glares, if looks could kill than the employee would have been ash by now who looked like about to wet himself when his boss roared: “WHAT THE HELL!!!!!!!!! WHAT IS THIS?????!!!!!! YOU WERE SUPPOSE TO HAVE FINISHED THE PRESENTATION & YOUR DEADLINE WAS LAST EVENING, THAN WHY THE HELL IS IT NOT COMPLETED YET?!” cause the poor guy flinch at the tone.





He gathered his tattered courage & stammering said: “Act-actually ASR, I- I was a- about to--”




But he was harshly cut off: “If you got time from flirting with female employees & making fun of me behind my back than only you would get time to finish your work.”




Hearing this statement made him shock than gulp nervous & scared but he never got chance to speak: “What do you think that I don’t know what is happening in my office? I keep by tabs very well but I let you slid thinking at least you were sincere but its limit. There is no place for unprofessional-ism & YOU’RE FIRED!!!!!!! NOW GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE!!!”






The poor guy ran from the cabin for his life while other employees looked at him with pity eyes & scared to enter the lion’s den hoping they don’t be on receiving end of their tyrant boss today.





Elisa, ASR’s secretary nervously stood in front of the cabin door scared to knock as she looked up at heavens for help. Gather courage & taking a deep breath she was about knock when she felt a hand on her left shoulder which made her shriek in fear almost dropping the files she was holding turning to face the person.





She signed in relief putting a hand over her fast heart said softly: “Oh! It’s you, god you scared me!” looking at the angelic women in front of her who had a bright smile which can lit up the whole place & warm up hearts.





Laughing lightly the angelic women said: “Sorry for that but you should’ve seen your face Elisa, it was so funny. BTW what happen, why are you standing here like this?”






Which reminded Elisa her reason to be scared as she said in hushed tone: “Actually boss is in horrid mood, already fired 6 employees & I need his sign on these but I’m terribly scared to in, please help me” making a puppy scared face.





The women almost laughed said: “Give it to me, I’ll get the signs & get his mood down few notches.”





To which Elisa gave sheepish smile saying: “Thank you so much, you know you’re a life saver” which made the women laugh as her gesture her to go & entered the cabin without knocking smiling brightly.





Angry ASR looked up ready to blast at the intruder: “WHAT THE WHO THE HE--"

























But never finished seeing the smiling angelic face which took his breath like always took his breath away as she said in angelic soft tone with laugh & humor lingering: “Whoa! itna gussa, Mr. Angry Bird”






Making him scrunch his face cutely: “I’m not angry bird mode, they’re annoying the hell outta me” huffing loudly as she walked up to him & was pulled by him in his lap.






Snuggling comfortable she cupped his face asked sweetly: “What happened?” with concern itched on her face.







He shakes his head saying: “Nothing” which definitely didn’t convince her a bit.







She raised her eyebrow said quizzing: “Really? Do you think I’ll buy that?” making him sign.







He confessed: “Okay I’m stressed. I’m stressed about going back to India again & I don’t wanna go there, face all of them again, Khushi”






Khushi knew he had been avoiding this talk & finally him bringing up his thoughts as she spoke sweetly :“It’s ok Jaana, it’s all past now & we all have moved on, 06 years now Arnav.”






As Arnav signed heavily: “I know but I never wanted to face them again. Why do we’ve to go back there when we have moved on so much in our lives?”







Feeling lost as Khushi smiled replied: “You can’t run from them forever & you said yourself that we moved on so much in life already, so stop worrying. And anyways it’s for business we’re going for.”






This made him nod in agreement: “Yeah, you’re right. You always know the way to calm me” which made her smile proudly.







He nuzzled her nose said: “I love you my Mahiya” Then capturing her lips in a heated long passionate kiss which they broke when they desperately need air.









Panting she said “As I love you Jaana.”


















Pulling him in another passionate kiss & soon they were engaged in heated making out session with their moaning & groaning with ragged breathing feeling the silence.

KHURANA MANSION, DELHI, 10:00 PM
















Samar, NK, Akash & Payal entered after a long tiring day looking exhausted to find Akshay & Naina sitting on couch as they greeted them & went up to freshen up before coming down for dinner as Naina said to them.







15 mins later....






Akash, Payal & NK came down freshen up & changed as they sat down on their sits with serving their plates, Naina asked: “Samar kaha hai?”







Making all freeze & stare at her with disappointed eyes making her aware of the well-known fact, he wasn’t coming for dinner again which he had been doing from past 02 years.







So much has changed & Samar’s life is messed the most which made others guilty for messing it up. It was not hidden from anyone that Lavanya was in love with someone else & nor Samar-Lavanya ever shared such feelings but still they bonded them in a relation which pained Arnav than & now it’s hurting Samar-Lavanya as with a resign they went on eating.







Samar was sitting in his balcony lost in thoughts; so much has changed in his life. He himself is a completely different person that he didn’t recognize himself & signed on this thought. He has now started believing that love wasn’t meant for him, when he had started falling for Tuli he was forced to tie knot with Lavanya when he started accepting & loving Lavanya she broke him.







He knows everyone feel guilty about whole Arnav thing & Lavanya is waiting for Arnav’s return but no one knows what he knows & he is happy for Lavanya. He doesn’t hold any grudge on Arnav for his broken marriage, it isn’t his fault that Lavanya doesn’t seem to make up his mind. His thoughts were broken by ringing of his phone as he saw the caller smiled softly picking it “Hello Tuli” maybe he still has hope to cope up.

GUPTA HAWLI, DELHI, 11:00 PM










Anjali was having one of her late night chat with Aman lying on her single bed as Lavanya watched her sister blushing & giggling which reminded her of her late night chat with Arnav as she had a wistful look of getting everything back but somehow Samar’s words flashed in her head making her wonder if truly Arnav has forgotten her? Can that happen but then she shove that thought thinking it can’t be possible & prayed Arnav to come back soon closed her eyes as sleep took over.





Anjali looked at her sleeping sister & whispered softly on phone: “I’m getting worried for Lav Aman. I wish things brighten up in her life soon. Main usse aise nahi dekh sakti, I really wish Arnav comes back soon.”






From other side Aman said in assuring way: “Sab theek ho jayega Anji, don’t worry. But do you think Samar can be right about Arnav moving on in life?”





She shakes her head: “NO I don’t think so...”





Aman curiously says “But what if he did? Toh kay hoga?” 





Anjali replied in stubborn determine voice: “Than I’ll do what it takes to bring Lav’s happiness at any cost.”





As they change the topic & soon ended it.

Yuvi replies: “Honestly I don't know. I mean he left in 1st place to get over her & truly 06 years is a long time.”





Making Mayuri nod in agreement who then said out of blue: “You know I’m having this weird feeling like kuch hone wala hai...."




Yuvi looked at her weirdly which made her frown: “What?”





Yuvi asked: “Are you sure you didn’t hit your head somewhere?”






Mayuri started hitting him while he started laughing trying to save himself as they got into their usual bickering.

Everything has changed & they have gotten use to their life but soon havoc is going to come in their lives & now time can only tell what would happen in their lives now.
