I am back with new story hope you all love them ♡ (ɔˆз(ˆ⌣ˆc)
Early morning. Jaipur. The sky glows in soft saffron and gold. The city is quiet. Temple bells echo through the valley. The air smells of incense and wet stone after the night’s cool breeze.
A BLACK LUXURY SUV pulls up in front of Birla Mandir. The white marble structure gleams under soft sunlight. Bells echo faintly in the distance.
The car door opens. Rudransh Raghuvanshi steps out first, scanning the surroundings with sharp, trained eyes. A second later, Mrityunjay Raghuvanshi steps out—calm, composed, unreadable.
Rudransh Raghuvanshi/ML Brother
(stretching, looking around, mildly irritated) Bhaiya… I need to ask this again… why are we here at five in the morning? (¬_¬)
Mrityunjay Raghuvanshi /ML
(calm, hands in pockets, gaze scanning the temple) We had a meeting here.
Rudransh Raghuvanshi/ML Brother
(deadpan)A meeting… in a temple. At dawn. When even the gods are barely caffeinated.
Mrityunjay Raghuvanshi /ML
Minister insisted.
Rudransh Raghuvanshi/ML Brother
(He snorts, kicking a stray pebble across the road )Of course he did. Corruption feels holier near God, I guess. Nothing like a little divine backdrop to wash away the grease of a kickback
Mrityunjay doesn’t respond.
Rudransh Raghuvanshi/ML Brother
(Steps closer, his playful tone dropping into a low, professional murmur) The logistics for the port deal… it went through clean, right? No fingerprints?
Mrityunjay Raghuvanshi /ML
It always does
Rudransh Raghuvanshi/ML Brother
(A sharp, prideful grin flashes across his face)That’s because you don’t leave room for mistakes, Bhaiya. You don’t even leave room for oxygen if it doesn’t serve the contract.
A heavy pause follows. The wind picks up, whistling through the marble archways. Rudransh’s eyes narrow as he watches a group of early devotees enter the far gate.
Rudransh Raghuvanshi/ML Brother
So, what’s the play? We meet the "Honorable" Deshmukh, shake hands, and then—
A phone vibrates sharply in Mrityunjay’s hand. The buzz sounds like a hornet in the quiet morning. He glances at the screen. His expression remains a mask of granite, but his pupils sharpen.
Rudransh Raghuvanshi/ML Brother
(Peeking over, trying to catch a glimpse of the ID) Who’s calling at this unholy hour?
Mrityunjay Raghuvanshi /ML
(Voice dropping an octave, cold and direct) Tahir.
Rudransh Raghuvanshi/ML Brother
Ah. That poor guy who hasn’t slept since he started working for you. I’m convinced you pay him in caffeine and fear instead of actual currency.
Mrityunjay Raghuvanshi /ML
(Ignoring the jab, his eyes now scanning the upper balconies of the temple) Go around. Check the perimeter of the temple. Start with the east gate and work your way back to the shrine.
Rudransh Raghuvanshi/ML Brother
(He stops mid-stride, squinting at his brother as he adjusts his cufflinks) Perimeter? Bhaiya, we’re here to meet Minister Shankar Deshmukh, not storm a fortress. It’s a place of worship, not a guerrilla war zone.
Mrityunjay Raghuvanshi /ML
When you’re dealing with men like Deshmukh, everything is a battlefield. The incense is just a distraction for the smell of blood.
Rudransh Raghuvanshi/ML Brother
(Studying Mrityunjay’s face, his humor fading into concern)Hmm…Bhaiya you’re in a particularly cynical mood today.
Mrityunjay Raghuvanshi /ML
Go. See who the Minister brought with him. He likes to hide his security in plain clothes among the devotees. I’ll join you in a moment.
Rudransh Raghuvanshi/ML Brother
You’re sending me away. You want to take this call in private.
Mrityunjay Raghuvanshi /ML
I’m giving you something to do while we wait for the "honorable" gentleman to arrive. Idle hands make for slow reflexes.
Rudransh Raghuvanshi/ML Brother
Same thing.
Chapter 2
They lock eyes. A silent conversation passes between them—the shared history of a thousand such meetings, the unspoken trust, and the weight of the Raghuvanshi name hanging in the balance.
Rudransh Raghuvanshi/ML Brother
(Giving in with a half-smirk) Fine. But if you decide to ditch the meeting and disappear into some sudden spiritual enlightenment, I’m not coming to get you. I’m leaving you here with the Minister. You can discuss the Vedas while he asks for his 20%.
Mrityunjay Raghuvanshi /ML
Noted.
Rudransh Raghuvanshi/ML Brother
Five minutes.
Mrityunjay Raghuvanshi /ML
Make it ten. Deshmukh is never on time for anything—unless there’s a camera and a chance to pose with other ministers.
Rudransh Raghuvanshi/ML Brother
(Walking away into the dark corridor of the outer walkway, his voice trailing back) Now I’m starting to get suspicious. If you’re not here in ten minutes, I’m calling Maa to complain about you.
Rudransh disappears into the thickening crowd of devotees, his casual stroll masking the fact that he is counting every exit and every suspicious face. He glances back once, his eyes finding Mrityunjay’s solitary figure against the white marble, before rounding the corner.
Left alone, Mrityunjay steps into the deep shadow of a pillar. He slides the phone to his ear.
Mrityunjay Raghuvanshi /ML
(voice like velvet-wrapped steel) Yes.
Tahir Siddiqui/Coo and PA
(the background is a chaotic symphony of ringing phones and frantic typing) Sir, the situation has escalated. The emergency board meeting for Project Horizon has been moved to right now. The Chairman of the Global Consortium, Mr. Vardhan, has already docked his private jet and is headed to our headquarters.
Mrityunjay Raghuvanshi /ML
(his gaze remains fixed on the temple entrance, tracking the arrival of the Minister’s security detail) Vardhan is early. That was intentional.
Tahir Siddiqui/Coo and PA
Exactly, sir. The other tech chairs and the major shareholders are already in the boardroom. They are demanding a full walkthrough of the neural-link source code. The atmosphere is hostile; they’re smelling blood because you aren't there to defend the proprietary rights.
Mrityunjay Raghuvanshi /ML
Handle it.
Tahir Siddiqui/Coo and PA
(voice dropping to a desperate whisper) Sir, with all due respect, I am just the COO and your PA. These men own half the digital infrastructure in the Eastern Hemisphere. Vardhan is refusing to open the session until he’s face-to-face with the Founder. He’s implying that your absence means the project is a failure.
Mrityunjay Raghuvanshi /ML
(his tone drops an octave, becoming dangerously calm) Tahir.
The line goes deathly silent. Tahir, standing in a boardroom worth more than some small countries, feels a chill through the phone. He knows that tone; it’s the one Mrityunjay uses right before he dismantles an opponent.
Tahir Siddiqui/Coo and PA
(swallowing hard) Understood, sir. I’ll stall. I’ll tell them you’re... overseeing a final encryption layer.
Mrityunjay Raghuvanshi /ML
Let them wait. A Chairman who cannot control his impatience cannot control a global market.
He pulls the phone away and ends the call with a sharp flick of his thumb. For a moment, he stares at the blank screen, the quiet sanctity of the temple at odds with the cold efficiency of his world.
Mrityunjay looks up at the towering shikhara, the silent power of the ancient structure mirroring his own. His expression remains unreadable as he turns back toward the sanctum to find...
Chapter 3
A girl stood there in a soft peach-cream saree with a deep red border and pallu, catching the morning light like a quiet flame edged in fire. Her saree fell in gentle ivory-peach waves, the deep red tracing her silhouette like a line of defiance, echoing against the muted tones of the temple floor beneath her bare feet. She didn’t look like a quiet devotee; she looked like something controlled yet burning underneath—like calm wrapped around intensity.
Her arms were locked firmly over her chest, and she was tapping one leg against the stone in a restless rhythm that screamed, “I’m waiting for an explanation,” all while standing beside the Lord Vishnu statue.
Unknown Girl
(glaring at the deity, her voice a hushed but frantic stage-whisper) Look, we discussed this. You promised last time. I was very clear—I said if the rain stopped before I reached the temple steps, it was a 'Yes.' The sun came out, didn't it? That was a signed contract! (￣︿￣)
Mrityunjay watched from the shadows. He had dealt with aggressive CEOs and demanding ministers, but he had never seen someone attempt to litigate a weather pattern as a binding business agreement. In her saffron and white, she looked like she belonged to the temple—but her attitude suggested she owned the place.
Unknown Girl
(leaning closer to the idol, narrowing her eyes) And then, I specifically asked for a sign. I saw three white cows in a row on the way home. Three! That’s a majority vote in any boardroom. So why did the project lead tell me they 'decided to go in a different direction'? Was the cow-signal just a glitch in your server? (￢‿￢)
A priest approaches, clearing his throat loudly. He doesn't look shocked; he looks like a man who has had to mediate this particular argument once a week for years.
Priest
(adjusting his shawl) Beta... it’s you again. What is it today? Did you come to complain, or are we actually going to let the Lord rest for five minutes?
Unknown Girl
(turning with a bright, disarming smile) Relax, Pandit ji. We’re just having a touch-base. He’s used to me. We’ve been going in circles since the third grade when He 'promised' I’d pass math and then gave me a C-minus. ♡( ◡‿◡ )
Priest
(sighing, shaking his head as he walks past) A C-minus was probably a miracle for you, unknown girl. Just try not to distract the other devotees with your 'negotiations.'
Unknown Girl
(calling after him) It wasn't a miracle, it was a system error!(⸝⸝ᵕᴗᵕ⸝⸝)
The priest just waves a hand dismissively. A rare, microscopic twitch moved the corner of Mrityunjay’s lips. He had never seen anyone treat the Almighty with such hilarious, casual defiance.)
Unknown Girl
(turning back to the idol with a soft sigh) You see? Even Pandit ji is taking sides now. Honestly… what’s even the point of having You in my corner if I still have to fix every single mess myself? (〃＞＿＜;〃)
She paused, listening to the silence of the temple as if it were a direct reply.
Unknown Girl
Oh… now we’re playing the "Character Building" card? Really? (￣︿￣) Wow. God of the universe… zero accountability. I’m actually impressed. If I ran my life like You run this 'Plan,' I'd be bankrupt by Tuesday.
Something shifted inside Mrityunjay. It wasn't the usual flash of attraction; it was a sudden, sharp spike of genuine interest. He spent his life surrounded by people who trembled in his presence. Here was a woman who treated the Creator of the world like a flaky business partner.
Unknown Girl
(her voice softening, a small, tired smile forming) Fine. Do whatever you want. I’ll handle it. Like always. ♡( ◡‿◡ )
(She folded her hands quickly—a brief, professional courtesy—and turned on her heel. She passed within three feet of Mrityunjay, the scent of jasmine and sandalwood trailing in her wake. She didn't even glance at him, leaving only a faint trail of jasmine in the cool morning air.
Mrityunjay stands perfectly still. For the first time in years, someone has completely ignored his presence—and he finds he doesn't mind it. Not at all. He watches the way the morning light catches the saffron of her saree until she is nothing more than a golden speck in the distance.
Mrityunjay Raghuvanshi /ML
(voice a low, dangerous chuckle, his tone smooth with a dark smirk) Finally... something interesting.(￢‿￢)
