At the same time here in a Mansion we can se a couple cuddled with eachother and sleeping having a smile on their face.
The girl is sleeping showing her back towards boy and boy is sleeping hugging her from back, snuggling into her.

Suddenly the alarm ranged and it caused the girl to wake up from her sleep. She extended her hands towards the clock and switched off the alarm. She tried to get only to pull back on the bed, sighing she turned towards the boy slowly started to caress his cheeks lovingly. Sensing the touch the boy snuggled more into her smilingly, while she smiled widely.

"Parthiv Get up and let me also get up."

"Prani please only for 5 mins let me sleep.....please....." Said huskily

She shivered listening to his husky sound and slowly kissed his forehead.

"ok, aap soyie but muje utne dijiye, muje fresh hokar aapki beti ko b utana he plus I have to prepare the breakfast too, jaane dijiye na."

"you don't need to go for making breakfast and all so shut up....and" He didn't for once loosened his grip on her, rather he switched the position and hovered over her and placed his rough lips with her soft lips. With the sudden act she didn't kissed him back, sensing that she is not kissing back he pinched her waist, which eventually let her gasp, and he entered in her  mouth, with this she Kissed him back passionately. Both broke the kiss when got to know that they are breathless. Breathing heavily manik joined his forehead with hers and said, "Never ever wake up from the bed before giving me my morning dose ok?" For which she nodded.

While getting up she suddenly stopped, went close to Parthiv and whispered Closing her eyes "SORRY".

Parthiv sighed listening to it and asked, "kyu humesha muje sry bolthi rehthi ho jab b puchu humesha bolthi ho tym nahi hua, aisa bi kya he that u are apologizing me."

"Parthiv..!! I badly wanted to say the reason of my Sorry's....!!!. But I am helpless I can't but I need a promise from your side."

"I promise" he promised instantly

"There will be a time were I won't able to say anything directly but when the time comes and if you have to ask me anything so ask, then only I will be able give you all the answers you needed. And for now shut this topic and get ready fast you have an important meeting to attend."

Saying this she went to washroom freshened up and came out wearing.

Parthiv was checking his mobile for any Mails from office sitting on bed. Hearing the door to be opened he look upwards and asked, "Aaj office nahi aa rahi ho?"

(Drying her hair) "Aa rahi hu but after 10. Muje aaj Shikha ke teacher se milna he...jab milkar aungi tab tak tum kaam karna ok. Now get up or fresh  ho jao jaldi or niche aajao me  tab tak Shikha ko uttathi hu."

Parthiv woke from the bed gave forehead kiss to prani and was going to the washroom were all of a sudden both prani and Parthiv started to hiccup. They both looked to eachother he went away shrugging thinking it as a small issue but prani looked into the mirror and and a tear drop fell from her eyes...and slowly whispered sorry.

Making herself ready and keeping Parthiv's clothes on bed she went to wake up her daughter.

When she entered into the room, the room was totally cooled due to Ac temperature.

Shaking her head and whispered, "These patel's god!!!!!"

Went and sat on the  bed and started to ruffle her daughter's hair and started waking her up.

Pr - Ammu get up jaan.....utto!!!!

Sh - No na mumma.....let me sleep....muje bahut neend aarahi he...

Pr - Betta utto jaano school jaana he na ....appko yaad he na teacher ne bhulaya he muje.....

Listening to it she woke up in a jerk and asked, "Aiyyo Mumma I totally forgot about it!!!".

Pr - it's ok jaano, abh get up fast.

Saying this she got up and went towards wardrobe to get Shikha's clothes. But Shikha sat there only on the bed and looked at her laps sadly.

Sensing no movements from her naughty girl, she turned towards her to only gasp. As her daughter was all ready to cry, sensing that something is wrong she went and took shikha in her lap and started stroking her hair slightly saying, "ammu what happened to mumma's girl."

That was it  for shikha started to cry holding her mumma's waist, praniti was  not  able to see her daughter crying so loudly. So  she started to console her, "Baby what happened bachaa, bolo mumma ko mumma se share karo hua kya jaano kisi ne kuch bola kya, kisi ne kuch kiya....jaano please stop crying my kid please...."

"Maa hates me alot naa......I....... I kn....know she  don't love me any.....anymore mumma....... please mum.....mumma I wanna meet ma...maaaa please mumm.maaa I am missing her.... ask her to come....na mummaaa.....I  won't trouble her...any..more  please........"

Saying this she started to  cry again....
Listening to her even Praniti was  crying but..keeping control she said, "you trust your mumma na!!!!shikha  nodded then trust me I will bring your maa to you with in a month I promise you.. Now my baby get up and go to take  bath ok gooo....!!!!"

Listening to her mumma promising she a smiled appeared in her lips and kissing her mumma's cheek she went to washroom smilingly.

"You made my kid cry, I won't leave you it's my promise to you untill it's something serious. Voh sirf meri thodi he teri bhi tho he tho how could you do this her. Agr tu mere saamne aai na I won't spare you. But anyways you have to come only and if I had promised our kid than u also know I will fullfill it agar muje kuch b kyu na karn ho.....count down begins. Let see for how much time u will b hidden. With in  one month  I will bring u out let see what happens."

Saying this she went back to her working mode keeping Shikha's uniform and packing her bags for  school.

But this all talks of mom and daughter was heard by someone else.......and it is none other than Parthiv Patel.

Hearing this he went down to dining area....thinking about the incidence that took place..

Coming down he saw his mother seating on the head  chair of the dining table,  having tea. He went to her kissed her cheeks wishing, "Goodmorning mom."

To  which his mom Just nodded her head. Well seeing this he just sighed and went on his regular seat waiting for mother daughter duo to come down.

Kirti - Parthiv!!!

Pa- Ha mom....kya hua

Ki - Prani or Shikha kaha he

Pa - ready ho rahe he....Athe hi honge....

Just as he said, both the mother duo came and kissed Kirthi's cheeks  hard from both the sides and wished

Pr & sh - Goodmoooorning mom/dadiii

(Shikha's school uniform)

Kirthi laughingly patted  both their cheeks and said," goodmorning both of you, aaj itna late."

Listening to the question both looked at eachother and said, "nothing mom/dadi"

This got Kirthi suspicious, but for now chuckled tht matter and said, " aao breakfast kare?"

Mother  daughter shouted , "yooooo"

Seeing this Parthiv looked  down hiding his sad face and took a deep breath and said, "Prani jaldi karo me drop kar detha hu tum dono ko...."

Pr  - ha tk tk....

She noticed his sad face and turned her face towards Kirthi pleadingly. Kirthi just looked down not wanting to say anything and all had their breakfast

Kirthi went to her room.

Bidding bye to Kirthi the trio went and drove towards the school to drop Praniti and shikha...

They reached  school trio got down from the car and manik escorted them till the  gate, bending down he kissed Shikha's forehead and said, "I love you" getting a rply saying,  "love u to Dadda" kissing his cheeks in return.
He stood up and said, "I will be waiting, come  soon.....aaj kuch important he dekhne ok?...."

Praniti nodded  and holded Shikha's hand and went inside the school both turned back waving  "bye" to Parthiv they went and he drove towards his office.....

At Patel Mansion

Bidding bye to Parthiv , praniti and shikha....Kirthi went to her room to take a small nap.. as she was getting older she preferred to stay most of her times at home itself and if needed to clear her mind she goes to her NGO. Kirthi is now also a brave and enthusiastic person but sometimes she do feel tiredness.

She came to her room, went and  stood in front of a portrait. The portrait is of Shrinath and Kirthi's photo.

Kirthi's pov

Shri see life is so changed now.....I won't say it's a bad change but puri thareeke se khush bi tho nahi he....abh tum bi nahi rahe.....yaad he kitna garv tha muje apne bete pe...aisa nahi he ki abh nahi he.......but muje usse dekhar kabhi kabar bahut gussa atha he....Voh zindagii me bahut khush he Shri, but meri bachi ka kya voh tho akeli he bina kisi ke sahay jee rahi he

Kash shri tume asliyat pahle patha hoti tho shayad aise nahi hoti zindagi tumne bahut si zindagi karab ki hain........parthiv ko yeh b nahi patha ki tum kis vajase heart stroke aai thi and dua b yahi mangungi ki usse kabhi patha b nahi chale. Me pyaar karthi hu tumse abhi b Shri but kabi maaf nahi kar paungi jo tumne kiya he uske vajese.

(Saying this she went and layed on the bed)

I didn't even thought that I would give your position to anyone else in my life my girl. Even though Prani is not anyone though, but mene dil se tumhe hi manaa tha na, but kheir we can't change anything. PARI I fulfilled your promise rather I would say that I am fulfilling it now too... Prani bahut pyaari ladki he PARI, bahut pyaar karthi he manu se but humesha uske anko me voh ek guilt dekhthi aai hu. Uski b tho galthi nhi he. But anjaane hi sahi ussi ke vajese you went through alot. And your main culprit will always be shri and Parthiv I know.

(Thinking this a tear drop fell from her eyes, wipping it she layed down and slept for some time)

On the other hand Praniti and Shikha went to meet the teacher, praniti hoped that teacher would have called her to complain about shikha, but when talked with her she got to know that the school had made a partnership with the other school (ST. Peter's school) and the students who located near to the school are being transferred to their.

And shikha being one of them, so called her parents to inform the same. The joining date of the transferred students are from next week of Monday.

Talking about some basic things shikha went to her class and Praniti went to office calling a car from Patel industries.

While sitting in the car....

Praniti's pov

If I ask myself that am I happy than I would say that I am the happiest, kyu khush na hu...when I have  husband who loves her to the moon and black, a daughter who is the symbol of her and husband's love, loving in-laws what more does a girl need in her life. And in that case I am the luckiest, but is that happiness worth it destroying a Happy and fairytale of one person.

I won't say I regret doing anything in my life but guilt is that word which will follow me till my last breath. Or am I regretting something?

Aaj b Parthiv ne pucha ki Why am I saying Sorry!!!! Bolu bhi tho kya bolu.....I am not able to break my promise too. I badly want to say the reason but I can't, and for that I hate you Chinu I hate you a lot.

Chinu kaha ho tum, kaha chuppi ho tum kitna bhi chuplo aakhir kar tumhe mere saamne kabhi na tho kabhi aana hi he. Aaj meri bachi pahle baar roi voh bhi tumare vajese tum bus aao .... Tumari khair nahi...

But I don't know why this sudden feeling that something is going to happen that to both bad and a good feeling...

Kuch bhi ho, bus sab ko khush rakhna kisi ki muskurahat gumne mat dena.

Patha nhi mere dho anmol rathan  kaise honge (saying this she giggled to herself) 

Waise abh tho shikha ko Promise diya he abh voh promise Nibaungi kaise......

Please help me.........

Saying this  she got down from the car and walked  into the premises.
Caring a sweet plus Stern attitude she walked into Parthiv's cabin wishing every employee with a smile.

After entering into the cabin  She  saw Parthiv lost in  thoughts....... She sighed knowing the reason for this behaviour of his..
.
.
.
But.....

Before their conversation lets go back to the time where Our hero entered to the  premises

After dropping both  mother daughter he directly drove towards his premises.

After reaching he gave his keys to the gaurds. To which the  guards took  the  keys bowing in front him wishing a Goodmorning .

Parthiv just nodded and buttoning his blazer he walked inside the premises with an attitude.

Seeing their boss the employees wished him Goodmorning, only to get a stern nod from him. And saw their boss entering inside the special lift which is used  only for family members and boss.

The lift stopped on the 10th floor where  the cabin of Parthiv is been located..

He directly went to his cabin called his  P.A by ringing the special bell which is only for P.A

P.A entered inside the cabin

P.A - Goodmorning sir.!!!! Here is your Black Tea... Sir.

He nodded and took the sip of the tea and said, "Rohan what's today schedule?"

"Well the name of the PA is Rohan"

Ro - Sir today you have only Two meeting first meeting is with a foreign investor which is at 11.30 and second meeting with Dhawan Group of industries which is at 3 pm that's all for today".

He nodded and started to look  for a file when he saw Rohan trying to say something, he stopped his work and asked, "anything more??"..

Rohan nodded and said, "Actually sir their is a small problem related  to the partnership thing related  to CHARM LTD. " "Continue" said manik. " Sir at first we had got only one name for the partnership contract that is Zodiac which is one  of the  famous courier company... But recently I got to know that there is a company Named SRIKAR who is leading in this industry when researched about them we got to know that that company is new company from last 2 years.....I would suggest you to look through the file were I have collected all the information related  to the  company and decide with whom  we have to tie up with....thats all sir.....I  may take my leave!!!!"

Parthiv just nodded took hold of the file and gestured Rohan to go.. The moment Rohan was out of the cabin.

Hr just traced the name SRIKAR and felt something different.

With that he went it to his thoughts.

Manik's Pov...

SRIKAR it feels so connected.....but why?.....well asusual I don't have answers to my questions.

Life is so changed, there was a time were I was not able to think any other thing apart from her. And now see I don't even know where is she......Totally disappeared, but if she ever comes infront of me I would surely apologize to her and thank her for asking me to give prani a chance........

PRANI....... whispered so lovingly I like u alot......I didn't knew after her I would be able to love or like anyone....but see the irony, I value her the most.... But we'll their is always a but..... I do like her but somewhere in my heart I know not more than her I guess.

I don't know why but every morning she says sorry to me, kyu!!! Nahi patha puchu tho bhi nahi batathi....saying ki time aane pr bata dungi.....aisa bhi kya he jo every morning she says sorry to me, and I hope reason is small, but what if the reason is big?. I don't know...... sighed sadly ....and Mom she is not the same anymore with me.....I wouldn't say that she doesn't love me, she do loves me but not like old times.. karegi bhi kyu she always loved her more than me.....

Thinking deeply ek chizz samaj nhi aarahi......Why did Shikha cried today who is her Maa......is she so important that she literally cried for her...My baby cried and I was not able to do anything....and the shocking is that Prani knows who her MAA is, but why she said that they didn't meet her from 1 year, why...?.... Chuckling now I srsly doubt that do I know every secrets of my family ....I surely do know that Prani is hiding something even shikha and mom........

But why aren't they sharing it with me...... Idk

Oh God will I ever get answers to these questions...... And the most surprised thing is that I feel something different as if something is gonna happen soon....both bad and good....these instincts.....Oh god whatever it may be, don't harm my family that's the only request I have..........

End if Pov.
.

Suddenly he felt someone is caressing his hairs. He looks towards the source and  smiles widely.......He just grabbed the person and pulled in to his lap and hugged tightly resting his head into the crook of the neck.........
The person was so flabbergasted with the sudden pull but later reciprocated to the hug...well  the person was none other than Praniti Patel.

Pr - Ohhooo itna miss kiya muje giggling muje patha hota tho I would have come fast fast........

Pa - with an adorable smile you are my piece prani...never leave me n go I won't be happy..... 

Pr - I  won't leave u ever agar gai bhi tho vaps zaroora aungi......saying this she kissed his forehead vaise Patel ji kaam shaam  nahi he kya........you said tht their is something important today......!!!!

Pa - Kaam shaam tho he But before getting to your Kaam shaam u want to finish one main thing....said grumpily you wanna know what it is?...asked with  a sad pout.  Prani literally wanted to kiss his pout  but controlling herslf she nodded yes..guessing her nod he directly pulled her again with in himslef leaving no space in between and kissed her lovingly pouring all his frustration, sadness, and love......Prani realizing it kissed him back resting her hands on his hairs stoking it and pulling him more closer leading him to pull her more into himself......while kissing his right hand started roaming all over her body caressing her curves earning a moan from her which aroused him and left hand caressing her cheeks...while kissing sensing her breathless he broke the kiss and hugged her only to return the hug back from her..... Now I think we can go for our kaam shaam.........

Which earned a giggle from prani........getting a slight slap from her she got up from his lap and came n sit on his opposite side

Pr - Haa tho say what was so important.

Pa - coming back from the jolly mood. Actually prani u know na we have started a New business of courier service to which she nodded I was planning for a tie up with a company who is already their in a market so that it will  be easy for us to enter into this stream.

Pr - ok ...I would be good mani...but do you have any Company in your mind with whom we should tie up with?

Pa - nodded Ya I had selected ZODIAC as it is their in the market for more than 5 years.......but before you came Rohan gave me a detail that.......their is one  company Who is leading know in this stream and actually it's a new company which started from 2 years I guess it's new in  the  market........so....

Pr - ha continue....and what's the name of the company!!!!

Pa - I don't know what to do....... should I consider them  or not you decide and say........and ha the name of the company is SRIKAR LTD.

listening to the name she just stood up in a jerk and was shocked..........Getting such response from her it shocked Parthiv.

Pa - prani..!!! What happened jaan...any problem

Pr - What did  you say...say it once again.

Pa - Ummmm..it's SRIKAR LTD   umm..any problem jaan?....

Pr - Parthivv....!!!

Listening Praniti calling him by his full name he was  shocked and instantly came to know that it's a serious matter........

Pa - Ya Say!!

Pr - I want you to select SRIKAR LTD for our tie up..we will approach that company..for sure.

Pa - But parni we don't know about them much...

Pr - No parth we would take that only...its final please, rest I will say to you at our home when you will get back do the necessary process and ha ask that  company head to meet us on Monday..... And ha mani he nodded don't let them know that We Patels are running this company until n unless they come to know after they come here ok??

He nodded and was thinking what the hell is happening, but he knew Praniti is thinking something and he trusts her so didn't ask any questions.
Praniti was into her ownself she wanted to clear her mind and thoughts as soon as possible so she asked manik, "parthiv I am  going as of now I will just look after the work I have given to HR's and then will pick up Shikha and directly go to our home okk!!! You come directly I will give you the details once you come but just look  into this matter personally ok!!!!".

"Haa prani I will look  into this matter u don't take any tension, I hope u will say the details..." He asked doubtfully. 

"Obviously I would" prani replied kissed parthiv's forehead and went waving a bye to him..

He just sat their in total shock what just happened now was beyond his imagination........he didn't knew that this would ever happen....

Is this something which will lead to the answers I am finding.....

"Yes I think  so" whispered his heart.
