"Congratulations mr Abhishek you have nailed it, you are true Business man" the estate broker said congratulating
"I always get want I want"abhi with arrogance
"But sir, you will get keys next week"
"Why ??? I can't wait that long, this is my dream project n I wAnt to start today itself "
"But sir, the owner of this Heritage property is getting married day after tomorrow and the reception is at this very place"
"So that is not my concern"
" sir it's request from his side, n this is reason that he is not today here to attain such important meeting, he wanted to come n personally invite you for marriage"finally finished all in one breath
"Do one thing, tell him that reception is from my side as his wedding gift, but I want key right now, I want to convert this property into five star hotel"

" money is not more important then time, for me it's now, I want now means now, inform him n I won't take no as answer ok you got it right!!"
"Ok sir I will try my best"
" I have not ask you to try, just inform him ok, I will send details about arrangements for reception tomorrow n get them with him, I may change something according to him, maybe food menu" he stood up n started walking
" ok sir, consider it to be done"

Abhi returned home, n dadi open door
" someone is looking happy today, but your madam is upset n waiting for you in your bedroom, pls go fast n I will send dinner upstairs ok"
"I know how to make her happy, don't worry, the moment I will give in this news, she will be jumping in no time"
"Hope so" smiles n goes to kitchen n abhi to his room
"PARI PARI PAAAARRRIIIIII, I have good news for you, we are shifting to that heritage house you liked"n takes her in his arms
"Don't change topic, today I want to know everything about my mom, you promised on my 5th birthday, you will tell me!!"faking anger she push him n crossed her arms
" but that's tomorrow,"
"I will wait till 12'o clock, n it's only 15mins to that"
"Ok, you win, but first have dinner n then I will tell you everything ok DEAL!!!"he gives up n holds her hand n makes promise
"Ok, but don't fool me, as you can do it today but tomorrow you have to or I will not eat" still faking tantrums n tries to walk away
"Pls Pari, I promise, I will tell you everything"holds his ears
" ok, fast I'm very hungry, today it's your favourite paneer sabzi n roti, yummm!!" Runs to him n hugs
*************
At same time at Mr.Shrivastav's office
"Sir there is good news for you, mr Abhishek has signed deal n here is full payment in cash as you wanted"broker said assuring that work is done
" that's great, n you did inform about wedding?? N that he can takeover next week " Suresh was glad that it's done before his wedding
"Yes sir n he was so happy for your marriage that he wants to do reception for you as your wedding gift"
"That's so nice gesture by him but how can I accept this, I have not even met him personally"
"Sir he is like that only, very down to earth n he find happiness in others happiness, pls sir accept this, you will hurt his feels"he lies as he wants to fool suresh as he knows he has confidence in him n he his no other option
" but....."
"Sir, you have to accept it, what if he cancels this deal, its important to you, without money how will you face your Financial problems, how will you pay all debt, you don't have any other sources also" continues to convince him
" I think you are right, I need money badly to pay debt of my father n also to start my new life"
" new life??"
" yes, new life, I want to start my own business"
" if you don't mind, can I ask what kind of business" he tries to dig more information so that he can use this to his benefit
" I have done hotel management in Australia n was thinking to start my own hotel but when I came back, I got to know that dad had this habit of gambling n had lost almost everything in it sooo now whatever is left, with that I will open my restaurant"
" that's great, all the best for your new venture n I will call mr Abhishek that he can go ahead with arrangements for reception n he will fwd you details of same"he thinks to give this information to abhi
" it's ok, I will personally call him n invite him, n thanks for handing this"
" oh that's fine, it's my job, I take leave now"

***************
While abhi was about to have dinner he gets call,
"Hello mr Abhishek, I'm so touched with your gesture," very enthusiastically says
" I must thank you for accepting it, I feel honoured" tries to sound as polite as he could
"Oh pls now you are embarrassing me, see you tomorrow at wedding"he continues same tone
" sorry to say but I don't believe in marriages n I think it's better if I don't attain it, n anyway its family thing n according to me only family members should attain it, right??" Hearing word marriage he comes back to himself with attitude
" whatever you are comfortable with, but have to be there for reception "
" of course I will be there, after all I will be host n not guest right?? N anyways call it party or reception it's same thing n I love parties, any thing special you want in arrangements"
" not really but I love red roses" overwhelmed with his gesture but not knowing his actual intentions
"Ok then roses it is, see you bye"
Says n disconnects, before suresh could answer further
He turns to Pari, who already slept without having food, n he gets angry n he also goes to sleep without having food
****************

On day of reception abhi was busy in arrangements
"Hey you, what are these red roses doing here on dinning area, I want everything white n silver" shouts at decorator
" but sir, you only told that groom wishes to have" cuts him between as this reminds him of Pari going to bed without food n says
" do hell with him, I'm owner n I hate roses specially red roses ok, did you get it"
"Yes sir, no roses"
" RED ROSES"again shouts
"Ok sir"
He went at pool side n saw bee flying on lilies, n he remembered something

Flashback

"It's for you"
"For me"
"Yes you dumbo, it's your birthday so it's obviously for you"
"Flowers n that too red roses"
"You only told yesterday, when I ask what you like ?? N you said red roses, then why making faces now, that's not fair"
" oh that, actually your dad was standing behind you, "
"Why you are so afraid of dad, he is not going to eat you ok, n what you were going to say that my dad won't like"
"I like lilies, white lilies"gets tense
" what?? Why you think dad won't like lilies, he like red roses he likes that too
" actually I wanted to say yesterday that I LIIKE YOU" finally says what wanted to say at that time
" dumbo, what's new in that, I already know that n even dad knows that n that's why we are friends, right??"
" ya, you are right" gets disappointed n agrees

Flashback ends

Still looking at lilies as if he was here like he was years back to talks to himself, "in past few years, my life has turned into rollercoaster ride, look at me what I have turned into, mr perfectionist, arrogant, pure business man, just for you but where are you now?? I really hate to miss you like this"

**************

It was evening
The place was looking like heaven, everything was white n silver, decorated with lilies, pearls n silver drapes, there were flower vases on each dinning table which were spread across garden n pool side was sitting area, while guests were amazed by decor, just then bride n groom arrived, they were stunned n mesmerised by ambience
" wow, this is completely different from what I imagined, you really surprised me, I simply loved it, n these lilies are so so beautiful, you remind me of (oh god, what was I about to say,) heaven, yes this place looks live heaven " she said with tears in corner of her eyes
" all the compliments should go to new owner of this property, he himself has done the decor n this reception is host by him as our wedding gift" suresh, who himself was so over excited about everything happening in his life, all his problems were solved n was married to most beautiful girl
" seriously, I must say, he must be very romantic n deeply in love, that's why it felt like love is in the air kind of feeling, I want to meet him n thank him personally for making this so memorable moment more memorable by his touch"
Just then abhi arrived in black blazer looking hot n sexy
" is somebody talking about me"
She turns n to look who was listening to their conversation n was shocked n turns pale as if seen ghost n same was abhi' s reaction, they kept on looking at each other as if an centuries past, he straight looking into her eyes
" hey I'm ABHISHEK PREM MEHRA, owner of this magnificent property ( looking at her as if he was referring her as his property)
"Hello mr Abhishek meet PRAGYA my wife, ( he almost crushed her hand while handshake) she was just commenting that you have done such fabulous job, n that you must be having someone special in your mind while doing arrangements, that's why it's so mesmerising" feeling that he is top of this world
" well she is not completely wrong??" He said still looking at her n holding her hand tightly
" then who's that lucky girl mr Abhishek??" She takes her hand back
" YOUR WIFE!!, I was thinking about her I mean how to impress her, so that you accept my offer"he points at her,
" oh in that way, n what's offer you are talking about??" Very enthusiastically but she started feeling uncomfortable n excused herself n goes to freshen up
"When I deal with someone, I find out everything about that person, n I know you have sold this property unwillingly, n about your dream to turn this into hotel, n most important you have done hotel management from Australia, right??"
" ya, but what's offer??"surprised
" you can fulfil your dream, join me, my money n your management skills, 60-40 what say??"
" I don't have words,"
" try saying YES,"
" obviously, some idiot will deny such offer" without much thinking
" but there is one condition, you will have to stay here only"
Before suresh could answer that he sees Pragya talking to his n starts walking in their direction
"Dad did you know, who is new owner of this property" very irritatingly
"Who"
"Your friend's over pampered, Shy n obedient son n yours student come PG come informer ............"
"Who?? Abhi !!!!!"
"Yes, n from today I hate him even more"
" hate him!!! But did you ever love him"
" enough dad, we had discussed this hundred times, pls don't start over again" n she walks off
" today is your daughter's marriage n you are still stuck there, 6 years back when you caught us in your bedroom, I hope you don't want suresh to know that or do you???" He taunts her father
" you have changed in these years"he thinks to himself that abhi has become rude n have no manners
" credit goes to your daughter n i think I should payback her, ( shouts) FUGGIE"
She turns to see in direction of voice n song plays ( jab koi baat bigard jaye koi mushkil aajaye) she sees abhi singing her favourite song, n walks towards him, all old memories flashing in both of their minds n suddenly she falls, both suresh n abhi run to her, abhi reaches first n takes her in his arms, both look into each others eyes n relives moment, n as he turns he sees suresh right behind him, he ask him take care of her n tries to give her in his arm n he drops her intentionally , " I'm sorry, but she is too heavy for me to handle" smirks at her devilish
"It's all because of you.."
"What did you just said!!!"surprised n looks at both of them
"Nothing I just meant it's because he doesn't exercise so....."
"Oh that!!"his confusion gets clear
"I hope I didn't ruined your first night"he had all this intentionality first song n dropping her
"She is mine for rest of my life first night second night don't make any difference right sweetie"holds her by waist n looks at Pragya
"Can you ask for first aid first then will decide ok"she was really mad at abhi n suresh
