Fated Forever

Chapter 1

It was the morning of an early Summer. The sun was perched above its horizon, the sunshine is sparkling, the heat of the glowing flames is spreading. The air was fragrant with freshly brewed coffee aroma. She was immersed with her work typing furiously on her keyboard when her cell phone started vibrating. She took off her black rimmed cat eye reading glasses and looked at the screen of her phone and with a heavy sigh received the call.

"Hello" her mother spoke from the other side of the phone " listen to me Sakshi, and listen carefully we have been patient with you till now, and fulfilled your every wish but no more and I mean it."

"But mumma let me speak, what happened why are you saying all this in the early morning, when you know how busy I am with work here." she said getting irritated with her mother's early morning complaints. 

"shh shut up and listen, today Aakash bhaisahab [ brother ]  has called and asked for your hand in marriage. And we want you to consider this alliance. We are not pushing you but beta [ child ]  we want you to meet his son once. That's all you just have to meet his son and then you can tell your decision. We will not force you, okay !"

" Mumma how can you consider this alliance. You should have rejected him then and there only" she said with irritation clear in her voice. " He is my client and on top of that I have a meeting with him today. please mumma say no to him please. How can I marry his son and I told you guys already I don't want to get married right now. I have so many things to do in my life how can I get married this early." 

" Baby we know that I am not asking for anything. I just want you to meet with him for once that's all, can't you do this much for your poor parents " her mother said with fake emotional voice.

She just rolled her eyes on her mother's cute antics. " Such a Drama Queen you are. Okay I'll meet him once and after that you have to listen to me no more emotional blackmailing.

" yes of course baby, your decision will be final. " her mother's voice was filled with excitement . 

"okay bye mumma I have loads of work to do now, bye !" she said with a small smile.

"okay ! bye baby, take care and have your food on time" 

"okay, bye" she finally hung up the phone and hid her face in both of her palms, she was trying to grasp the whole situation. She was so happy just 5 minutes before this horrible phone call. Now she had to do what she has been doing with all this alliances before. She got so many alliances before but she is such an expert in hurting one's male ego that every other alliance said no to her and she will do the same with this one too and a mischievous full blown smile graced her beautiful face. 

Just then her intercom beeped indicating her personal assistant's call, 

"yes Priya" 

"Mam Mr.Kundra is here to see you" her PA said

" Send him in please"

All of a sudden she was feeling nervous to face her uncle after knowing about her uncle's wish. She knew her uncle adored her very much, always sending gifts for her successes or inviting her to join him for dinner or lunch but she never in her wildest dreams thought that he will be asking for her hand in marriage for his son. She has seen his son before but not in person though. He really has a habit to attract paparazzi to him his adventures will always be on tabloids whether its about his new success or his new fling, he really has a playboy image she wonders how her mother missed that, he really isn't like his father at all total opposite a 'Spoiled Brat ' denying him will not be a problem after all. A knock brought her out of her thoughts and she gained her composure, straightening her posture she said "come in" 

On the other hand 

Kabir was forced to come today at Tulip herbs, he really didn't have time for all this bullshit that his dad forced on him but here he is on his dad's order looking at a timid looking girl with honey brown hair brown  eyes working on her computer screen, he went towards her and told her about his appointment his father's appointment to be precise with Ms. Malhotra. She told him to wait for 5 minutes and pressed her intercom to talk to god knows whom.

"Mr. Kundra you'll want the last elevator on the left, press for eleventh floor" the receptionist said 

The elevator whisks him with terminal velocity to the eleventh floor. The doors slide open, and he is in a large lobby, he is confronted by a young caramel hair women dressed in crisp red and white formal dress who was working on her computer asked him to wait for five minutes and informed her boss about his arrival after getting a green signal to send him in, she nods at him with a slight smile gestured him to go on. 

And he without wasting any more seconds moved towards the CEO's office, the smell of lavender hitting his senses as he walked on the white marble floors, the doors were big and there in golden letters were written the words 'CEO''s office', he knocked lightly on the door and after a few seconds heard a faint 'come in'. 

He opened the door only for his breath to hitched and his eyes getting wide in surprise. There stood the woman who he though to be plain and nerd types, clad in navy blue Kurti  and white plazzo with white georgette duppatta [Indian attire]  adorning her right shoulder, looking like an angel as sunlight from her floor to ceiling wall falls on her illuminating her sharp features. Her big brown confident eyes looking like the pool of honey, her lips so plum and pink, her skin so white and flawless the way he has never seen before, her raven black hair tied up in a ponytail. He has seen beautiful girls before, hell he had dated models too but he hasn't seen someone like her, she is something different, she is the whole definition of beauty. It will be a lie if he says that he has seen better because it is the best he is seeing, and knowing that she will be his made him that more ecstatic.
