Author POV:-

" Dear, wake up! " A woman in her late 50's woke her girl who turned twenty today. That girl groaned, and she put the duvet on her head and tried to sleep more. This action made her mother mad, and she pulled the duvet from her daughter.

" Wake up, Bhawana. You are going to be late for your university. We want to go to the temple with you, dear. " Her mother said, and Bhawana sat on the bed and rubbed her eyes like a baby.

" Good morning, mumma! " Bhawana said cutely, which melted her mother's heart. She loved her only child so much.

" Good morning, beta. Happy birthday! " Her mother stated, which brought a smile to her innocent lips.

" Thank you, maa. You go, and I will come in 30 minutes. " Bhawana said and went to the bathroom and finished her task quickly.

Yes, she is Bhawana! Bhawana Tripathi. A loving daughter of the Tripathi family. She knew about her biological mother and what happened to her. She didn't know about her biological father. But as her parents told her, her mother didn't want her to meet that cruel person who sold her without even caring about his child too.

Her adoptive parents loved her a lot. They raised her like true parents. They give her love, respect, adoration, and most importantly, the freedom to achieve her dreams. She wanted to become a businesswoman like her father, who owned a business of cloth shops, named Tripathi Female Wears.

Her father earned 50 lakhs every year. So, they gave her the best education. Currently, she is doing a bachelor's in Business Management. She is in her second year. She is a top student at her university.

When she came out of the bathroom, she went to the wardrobe and wore a white frock with leggings and put a beautiful yet simple dupatta on her left shoulder. She did light makeup like kohl and lipstick with light face powder.

When she looked at herself, she felt beautiful. She wore white belle shoes with light heels. After that, she went downstairs and saw her handsome father, who was reading the newspaper with full concentration. She walked behind him quietly with a mischievous smile.

But before she could scare him, Rudra said, " I know, Bhawana, you are behind me. Don't try to scare me, and now stand in front of me. "

Bhawana pouted as her prank flopped and stood in front of her father. Rudra looked at her daughter, who made a cute pout and smiled at her. He said, " Good morning, my daughter. Happy birthday to you, sweetheart. "

Bhawana smiled at her father and said, " Thank you, papa. How am I looking? "

" You are looking gorgeous like always. Now let's leave for the temple, or you'll be late for the university. " Papa said, and I nodded. Mom came in a minute with the things we needed for the pooja.

We went to the temple, and after an hour, we came back home. Mom served us breakfast and sat with us for the breakfast.

" Sweetheart, what do you want for this birthday? " Papa asked, and I thought for a while.

" Papa, I want you both to go for a candlelight dinner while coming back. Pack my fast food for me. I just want to have fast food at night. You know very well. I am going to come late today. So, I want you both to spend some quality time together. I know very well how you were busy with your business for the last three months and didn't give your time to mumma. " I stated and saw a smile on my parent's lips. This smile made me smile as well.

They hummed, and we finished breakfast. Then I went to my room and picked up my bag, purse, phone, and earplugs. I came to the hall where my parents were waiting for me. Mumma gave me my lunch, and they both kissed me on the forehead. I kissed their cheeks and left quickly.

I went to the garage and sat in my car, which papa gifted me when I turned 18. He wanted me safe and secure. I loved my car a lot. Then I drove to the university.

When I reached it, I parked my car in the parking lot and went to the principal room. My principal called me last night and told me to come to the principal as soon as I reached the university. I knocked at the door and went inside when I heard come in.

" Good morning, mam. " I greeted her, and she smiled while looking at me.

" Good morning to you too, dear. Also, happy birthday. " The principal mam said, and I thanked her.

" Child, you know very well that our guest lecturer is coming today to give the students some advice on business. He is a billionaire. So, we need to make sure he didn't get mad and face any problems. You are going to tour him as well as become his secretary just for today. Is that okay for you? " She explained and asked.

I was shocked to hear that. She just gave me such a responsibility like this. I said, " But mam, I don't know if I can handle such a big responsibility. I am just a student. "

" You are one of the best students, dear not any ordinary students. I know you are mature and can handle it. Don't worry. I know you can do it. Just trust yourself. " She said, and I took a deep breath and nodded.

" Okay, mam. I will do it. " I said, and she smiled. Suddenly, her phone rang. She picks up the call and hears the other person's response. Her face turned stern and she said, " Okay! "

She looked at me and said, " Pick this bouquet. He is here. " I nodded and followed her after picking the bouquet.

When we reached the entrance, there I saw our guest lecturer, Damian Knight, CEO of Knight Corporation.
