It's not exactly love at first sight.
It's is more like soul recognition.

Dec 24 1993

A boy was waiting for bus at bus stop and it's nearly 10 pm, he could see hardly one or two people around there, he got little bit late today due to customers where he was currently working in cafeteria after office hour so he was waiting to catch bus but it seems there was no bus at that time so he called his friend cum roomate for help so he was waiting for him to pick up. He was just looking around untill his friend comes. Gush of wind was coming from Arabian sea as it was a mansoon night so blowing with race there his eyes caught figure who was standing exact opposite to him at another end of road standing alone looking her watch time to time, could say waiting for someone. He looked at keenly in night road lamp, it was a girl whose face was covered with scarf except her eyes. She turned towards him, both eyes of them were locked at that instant only.

Those eyes which attract him towards her, big round doe like eyes which was something fascinated him. His eyes were just staring her eyes only, it has something special. He never saw eyes like her which can make anyone hypnotise just by her eyes, those were holding pure innocent, he lost himself staring at her eyes. He came into sense when that girl removed her eye contact from him when car stopped infront of her. She moved towards car by looking back at last time. She sat inside the car and car moved from his sight. He was staring that car till it disappeared and his friend stopped his bike infront of him.

"Sanskar".....

Jan 4 2023

Suddenly Sanskar's sleep broke with sound of window knocking due to air as window was kept open. Be got up with sudden jerk and looked around as he slept in study room only that too in sitting position. He covered his face with both palms and sat there while remembering what he just saw in his dream. Yes, it's not any nightmare like every day but today for the first he got different flashes other than everyday he used to get. Today, he could be able to see her eyes which could make anyone captivated just by one look of her, her big doe eyes in which oceans of emotions and dreams like non countable stars and most importantly showing something hidden pain which no one could be able to see. He saw one boy and one girl but only girl eyes, he could be able to see, at last listening his name, he was wondering it might be he or someone else. Before he could see boy's face, his dream broke out leaving him baffled and frustrated.

Sanskar got up and gulped full glass of water into his stomach to reduce his sweating and uneven breathe.

He scratched his hairs in his both hands to calm his mind and looked for time as it was just 2 am. He went to his room after locking study door came into his room and lied on his bed but sleep was far away from his eyes.
Just those two eyes were coming infront of him. He forcefully closed his eyes to sleep but it wasn't working so he got up and moved towards balcony and stood there with support of rail while gazing night sky.

"Those eyes, whose eyes they were which I saw in dream? Who was that girl ? I just saw her eyes not full face" he looked up to see full moon who was shining with bright light. He stood there while staring full moon who was calling to pass some message.

Here Sara also just gazing moon with smile as she didn't get sleep so she came near window of her room and stood beside window where moon light was peeping through window.

" we see the same moon
You and I
You in your world and me in mind
....... I feel that comforting."

"You know how much I love you. Your this face hai na, which gives peace to my heart and talking with you give me happiness. From childhood, you only became my friend whenever I am happy or sad you listened my heart talk. Today, I came to you because I wanted to share one happy news with you" Swara said with bright smile.

"You know, I got one friend like sister who cares for me so much. I never thought that I will get a such friend, she is the best. You know her name? How can you come to know her if I didn't tell you? Her name is Ragini. I will introduce her to you. Don't be sad I am giving her more preference than you?" She said making pout.

"you are always my first friend and my first love that's why I am sharing this good news with you" She said with bright smile on her face.

"Ok good night, I am going to sleep. I have office tomorrow but I will miss you" She said while making sad pout.

"It's ok, tomorrow night I will meet you. I love you" she said while giving flying kiss and went to sleep.

"I Love You"

Suddenly Sanskar felt someone saying I love you to him. He stood straight by feeling current shock in his body listening voice. He looked around but found nothing then looked back at moon with deep eyes like moon was trying to say something for him.

Jan 5 2023

Sanskar woke up due to disturbance of his mobile and looked for it and found it in his trouser pocket. He took out from the pocket and attended the call as it was from his PA.

"Yes Atul"

"Sir meeting is at 9 pm in SR industry. I called you to ask, you are coming to to venue or Karma?" He asked him from opposite side.

Sanskar looked at his watch as it was showing 7.30 am.

"Shit!".

"Atul, I will come directly to Venue and inform Karan to come there only and you make all arrangements ready" He ordered him while getting up from swin. He cut the call and looked around to found himself in balcony. He kept his thoughts aside to think because already he was late for office. He went inside hurriedly and went into washroom. After 30 minutes he got ready in his light blue shirt and dark blue coat and dark blue pant with looking handsome like always. He tied his tie around his neck and tied watch at left wrist, placed Mac in laptop bag and took his iPhone and went outside hurriedly. He came downstairs and took blessings from his parents also DP and AP then started to go out.

"Sanskar breakfast?" AP called him by seeing him going out.

"Maa, I have important meeting, I am already late so I will have in office" he said while going outside without turning.

He hurriedly came out where Alex was already present there and he opened the door for him. Sanskar settled in back seat and Alex sat on passenger seat and driver started the car. It would be taking nearly 40 minutes to reach SR Industry so he opened his Mac and started to work.

Sunshine orphanage

Sara woke up and got ready for office as she was little sad because today Ragini would not be there in office as she told she was going to SR Industry to meeting with boss and told that she might not be possible to come to office or not.

Swara left to office with grumpy face after bidding bye to Riya..

SR Group of Industry India Branch

Sanskar reached SR Industry at 8.45 am, he stepped down from the car and saw Ragini, Karan and Atul were waiting for Sanskar. Sanskar put his shades and went inside followed by Atul, Ragini and Karan. It's big conference hall and most off all company CEO's of India present there to represent their company. Sanskar entered inside the hall with attitude and arrogant face followed by trio and sat on his seat where seats were allocated for them around a long rectangular table.
Behind his next row Ragini, Karan and Atul took places. It's not difficult task to get this project for Sanskar because he was already prepared everything perfectly but he didn't want to loose that opportunity by any small mistake so he personally came to present and most importantly he didn't want to loose to his rival Sharat Sengupta and his son Sahil Sengupta, owner of Sengupta construction. Sanskar looked at Senguptas but didn't react and maintained his attitude. Sharat was burning in anger seeing young successful businessman, his company was in top 10 list but never able to cross Karma which was no.1 and Maheswari Industries. He brought his company to this much hight through crushing other company by his illegal activity since 25 years still not able to achieve that position, but this man who was sitting infront of him, within 5 years he brought Karma to no.1 position of India. Sahil was sitting beside his father glaring at Sanskar angrily buy Sanskar didn't care about them.

At exact 9 am door opened with ding bell ,one man with came inside followed by another man. He stoop up at front centre facing his face towards all.

"Hello everyone, I am Akash Rathore Personal Assistant of AR sir. I hope you know about this project to build hospital with all new technological facilities. You very well aware about SR Group Industries wants to give this project to efficient person who can do work perfectly without any mistake because it's important project for them as well this hospital is for poor people who can't afford money for treatments. For some office work he couldn't make it possible to come to India so he is connecting us through video conference. So welcome our MD and CEO of SR Group of Industries Mr. Arjun Raichand.
Sharat got a call from his PA so he went out excusing himself and asked his son to handle the presentation.
Suddenly large screen switched on showing opposite person face of around 50 age with little bit beard and spectacle.

Sanskar felt familiar with the face of Arjun Raichand but couldn't guess where he has seen.

"Why? I am feeling that I known him very well" Sanskar thought in his mind then he came into sense by listening Arjun's voice. He looked at the screen with unknown happiness with mix emotions in his heart by seeing him.

"Hello Everyone, I hope you all got mails which contained clear information about the project through my company.
I wished my self to do this project alone but couldn't able to make it so I am giving you this opportunity to do work with us. We are giving the partnership in this project who will present the best presentation and infrastructure of the hospital as well as performance of previous project records of their company. I hope you all will present the best one ....All the best" Arjun said with his professional smile.

Arjun was sitting in his office in New York infront of video conference while watching presentation of every company. He could see only who will be going to present their company presentation.
Akash Rathore personal assistant of SR Group of Industries of Indian branch came infront of stage and started to announce every company one by one.

"First, we would like to call Sahil Sengupta, CEO of Sengupta construction" Akash called him.

Listening Sengupta name Arjun jerked towards screen in uttermost shock and his forehead started to sweat but he composed himself before any one could see because all attention was on presentation but Sanskar turned towards screen, got confuse by seeing Arjun wiping his sweat, fear could be seen easily in his eyes for something but shrugged his thoughts by thinking, he might be feeling hot or something else. Arjun looked for owner of Sengupta Industries and seeing him Arjun took relief sign, he thought it might be same person as what he was thinking earlier.
Sahil finished his presentation and heard big sound of applause. He returned his seat while giving smirk to Sanskar. Sanskar saw his smirk but didn't react as he didn't know that he couldn't win over Sanskar Maheswari ever.

"Next person who is representing Karma Group of Industry's CEO and MD is Mr. Sanskar Maheswari" Akash called his name ...

Listening Sanskar name Arjun looked towards the screen and become numb by seeing Sanskar infront of him. Sanskar started to give his presentation in his professional tone.

"How come, he is alive?No he is not that Sanskar but his looks alike him, he is looking around 25 age, how comes he is so young?" He was lost in his thoughts and came into sense by listening opposite voice. He looked at him with mixed emotions of happiness as well as pain. Arjun got impressed by listening his presentation. Sanskar finished his presentation and heard big sound of applause. Sanskar returned to his chair and sat down like this all presented their best presentation.

"Well, all presented their out of best here but we able to give for only one company that will be work with SR Group for next 2 years. We will announce results in shortly, please excuse us" Akash went out while calling Arjun.

"Akash tell me about CEO of Karma Group?" Arjun asked as soon as he received call from Akash.

"Sir, Karma is no.1 position in India. It's run by Mr. Sanskar Maheswari, very powerful and hard worker, he took his company to no.1 position just within 5 years. It was just start up but his hard work and dedication brought into no. 1. He will put his whole dedication towards work without fail, we can believe him sir" Akash gave clear cut information to Arjun genuinely. Arjun talked with Akash for a while and cut the call.

"Mr. Sanskar Maheswari, I am coming to meet you soon" Arjun thought in his mind.

Akash came inside the conference room.

"I know, you all are eagerly waiting for the result. I am not going to announce this result instead of me our boss is going to announce this result" Akash said showing Arjun Raichand on big screen.

"Well, I totally appreciate you all because all your presentation were good but only one can get opportunity to work with us so I am announcing the name who had given the best presentation as well as best project design among you all is, Karma Group of Industries" Arjun announced with small professional smile.

Sanskar, Ragini, Karan ,Atul got happy by listening it but Sanskar didn't show it.
He smirked by seeing Sahil who was burning in full anger. Sahil clenched his fist in anger and looked for his father but he couldn't find his father and then his PA informed him that he got an emergency on office so he went to Sengupta Industry to handle Sahil by himself.

"I would like to call Mr. Sanskar Maheswari for further procedure"Akash informed to Sanskar on behalf of Arjun.

Sanskar got up from his seat went for further procedure.

"Congratulations Mr. Maheswari"Arjun greeted him with warm smile.

"Thank you sir"Sanskar said with professional smile by looking at screen.

"See you soon Mr. Maheswari" Arjun bid today last bye to him.

"Sure sir" screen got switched off.

Akash brought necessary documents for sign and Sanskar signed those papers after reading.

Sahil was burning in anger for once again for loosing to Sanskar.

Akash congratulated him and went out. All other company representatives who were present there congratulated him and at last Sahil came near Sanskar.

"Congratulations Sanskar...."he was cut off by Sanskar.

"Mr. Sanskar Maheswari" he corrected him with maintaining his attitude. Sahil clenched his fist with gritted teeth but control his anger.. Sanskar was smirking by seeing his angry face.

"Oh sorry! Congratulations Mr. Maheswari"Sahil said while forwarding his hand with fake smile but hidden anger. Sanskar looked at his hand then Sahil face and shook hand with him.

"Excuse me" saying this he moved towards Karan and Ragini who were standing with Atul. Sahil kept watching him till Sanskar disappeared from his sight.

Sanskar, Karan, Atul, Ragini went out of the conference room.

"Congratulations Sanskar" Karan said happily while hugging him. Sanskar just hugged him back with light smKaran broke the hug after a while...

"Congratulations Bhai" Ragini said with bright smile. Sanskar just nodded with light smile.

"Congratulations Sir"Atul greeted with smile on which Sanskar just nodded his head.

All went towards exit as Alex was waiting outside with car. Sanskar and Atul sat in Sanskar's car and Ragini and Karan moved towards Karan's Car.

Karma Office

Sara was going to her working place from 17 th floor as she went to meet manager for some work. She was ascending stairs with absent mind by thinking about Ragini. She was too much engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't see when she reached her floor and when she was at the top step of the 18 th floor suddenly she dashed with someone and was going to fall back but at the nick of time she held rail for her balance and composed herself from falling down. She held her chest to calm her fast beating heart in fear of falling as she just missed from falling down. If she didn't have held rail then what would have happened to her. The opposite person who dashed with Sara got angry by seeing her.

"You bl**dy! can't you watch while walking?" She shouted at her glaring her angrily.

Sara flinched from her place by listening her shout and looked up to see her angry face as she was already in fear of falling down and now she was shouting at her this made her got more scared.

"What are you looking? Where were your eyes while walking?" She shouted again with high pitch which gained everyone's attention towards them. Sara's eyes became moist by listening her shout as well as her words.

"Kavita calm down, everyone is seeing us" her friend tried to calm her down.

"I don't care Mansi" Kavita replied her in careless angry tone.

"What are you doing here? Who let you enter inside? Did you see your look in mirror?" Kavita said while making disgusting face as well as in anger, soon it turned into smirk.

"Look at her Mansi, she is such low class and look at her face. This dress and this glass, low class people" Kavita started to laugh along with Mansi. Sara felt humiliated infront of them and tears started to flow from her eyes by listening them. She didn't utter a word against them, just standing bowing her head.

"Yes Kavita, I don't know who gave her job here and even she doesn't have dressing sense how to come to office" Mansi made fun of her dressing style.

Sara was feeling like to run away from here to hide somewhere as no one could see her. She was feeling vulnerable inside by listening their taunt. She was expecting someone would have beside her to support her and stand beside her but it could least to except for orphan like her.

Some employees also joined Kavita and some were felt pity for Sara. Some were didn't bother about them as they involved in their work.
Sara was bending her head down with teary eyes as silent tears were falling from her eyes.

"What's going on here?" hearing loud voice, all turned towards the voice where it came from and found Laksha Maheswari who was standing with serious face.

Laksha came here for some work so he was waiting for Karan but listening noise he came out from Karan's cabin and listened what Kavita was saying to Sara but he kept silent because he wanted to know if Sara would give reply back or not. She would stand by herself or not. After passing two minutes still Sara didn't reply her back so he got angry further by listening them so he came near them.

"What's going on here? What are you all watching leaving your work? Get back to your work" He said with loud voice in his professional tone with serious face. All dispersed from his sight. Laksha went towards Sara who was bending her head down.

"Sara, what happened?" He asked while coming towards her. She quickly wiped her tears by listening him then he looked at Kavita and Mansi with confused face.

Sara pressed her lips to her control her sob and tears but again one tear drop escaped from her left eyes making Laksha shocked.

"Sara what happened?"he asked with concern yet angrily eyeing Kavita and Mansi as he knew what they did just now. Kavita and Mansi were standing like nothing happened.

Sara looked at him lifting her head and saw his angry gaze towards them.

"Nothing sir, it's just I was going to fall but they saved me from falling" she lied to him as she didn't want to make any scene here.

Laksha got that she was lying to him but he didn't want to force her to tell truth. He knew about her nature as Ragini told him about Sara but he wanted to confirm so that's why he didn't interrupted before.

"Ok, you go"Laksha said with calm and concern tone.

Sara moved silently from there towards her place

"I know what you did to her so behave yourself here. If your boss comes to know, he doesn't think for a second throwing you out so be careful" Laksha moved towards Karan's cabin not before giving angry glare to Kavita and Mansi who in returned shrugged their shoulders with attitude like nothing happened.

Afternoon
Al four came to office happily and Sanskar directly went to his cabin. Karan and Ragini moved towards their cabin. Ragini directly rushed to Sara as she wanted to share this good news with her.
Ragini ran towards Sara with fast step and Karan laughed out by seeing her eagerness. He moved towards his cabin as Laksha called him to talk about something.

"Sara" Ragini called her bit loud and chirpy voice.

Sara who was doing her work silently with upset became alert and got happy by hearing Ragini's voice. She immediately turned back and found Ragini coming towards her with fast step, Sara got up from her place by seeing her coming.
Ragini hugged her and twirled her in happiness with bright smile on her face.

"You know, we got contract" Ragini said with bright smile and stopped twirling her.
Sara got happy by listening and smiled at her.

"Really?" Sara asked with twinkling eyes as she couldn't believe that.

"Yes" Ragini nodded her head happily.

"Congratulations" Sara wished her happily.

"It's credit goes to you" Ragini said happily making her surprised.

"It's nothing I did big in it. You all worked hard for that but I just gave last touch up and little bit changes in those sketches" Sara tried to reason her out.

"But if you didn't give me those designs on time, we were not able to get this project. You know they liked your designs very much especially which you made changes" Ragini said making Sara happy.
Sara was feeling happy by listening her as someone appreciated her works.

"Hi girls" Laksha said from behind and came near them. Both turned back hearing him.

"Hi Lucky, you here?" Ragini asked surprisingly by seeing him at this hour in Karma instead of Maheswari.

"Yes, I have some work with Karan so came here" He said purpose of his visit.

"Sara, are you ok now?"He asked with concern after seeing her.

Sara nodded her head in yes lightly in
nervous by seeing Ragini beside her.

"What happened to her?" Ragini asked looking at them confusingly.

Before Laksha say something Sara said "Oh! I was going to fall from stairs at the nick of time and someone helped me" She again lied infront of Ragini giving nervous smile fidgeting her fingers in nervousness.
Laksha frowned listening her as he thought she would tell actual reason.

"Who was that?" Ragini asked her to know about who saved her and felt gratitude about her but she didn't know that it was Kavita.

"Kavita" Laksha said before Sara could have said.

"That make up kit?" Ragini asked amusingly with wide eyes.

Laksha nodded his head with chuckle.

Ragini narrowed her eyes at Sara as she clearly knew how Kavita was then she looked at Laksha but he signed her towards Sara through eyes. Ragini understood his gesture and nodded her head in agreement.

"Ok girls, I am getting late, you girls carry on"saying bid to them he left to Maheswari Industries.

Ragini didn't want to ask her forcefully. She wanted herself to open up so she got up from her chair

"Sara come it's lunch time" Ragini said making Sara relieved for a moment as Ragini didn't ask her further and nodded her head and went with Ragini to have lunch.
