Tera Dewana
EP: 01
I had been having the same dream for past 13 years.
Every night, my mind would repeat the same scene.
No matter how many pills I take
I just couldn't sleep without thinking about it
📍 Malhotra Mansion, Mumbai
Divya Arora
*Stirring and huffing in sleep*
Woman: Don't worry, baccha. Ma will be there.
Divya Arora
*Breathing heavily*
Maya Arora
"Di?"
*Calls from outside*
Divya Arora
*Catches breath*
Maya Arora
*Enters the room*
Maya Arora
"Oh my god, Di. You are sweating."
Divya Arora
"I'm fine, Maya."
Maya Arora
"How long will you pretend to be fine?"
*Says stubbornly and crossing her arms*
Divya Arora
*Chuckle*
"Till you finally believe me."
Maya Arora
"Whatever."
*Rolls eyes playfully*
Maya Arora
"By the way, aunty is calling you for breakfast."
Divya Arora
"Oh, tell her I'll be there quickly."
Maya Arora
"Okay!!!"
*Leaves the room*
Divya Arora
*Smiled and gets up*
Divya Arora
*Goes to the bathroom*
Everyone is sitting at their places and eating breakfast.
Shraddha Malhotra
"Oh, there she is."
*Smiles*
Shraddha Malhotra
"Come, beta. Breakfast is served."
Divya Arora
"Thank you, aunty."
*Smiles*
Divya Arora
*Sits across Rudra*
Vanshaj Malhotra
"Did you sleep well?"
*Asks while sipping on chai*
They all eat in peaceful silence.
The room fill up with clattering of utensils.
Vanshaj Malhotra
"Beta Rudra."
Rudra Malhotra
"Haa, papa?"
Vanshaj Malhotra
"Why don't you take Divya with you at the office?"
Divya Arora
💭"At the office?"
Vanshaj Malhotra
"Beta Divya, you are very smart. Unlike some guy."
*Side eyes Rudra*
Rudra Malhotra
*Rolls eyes. Focused on food*
Vanshaj Malhotra
"So, your intelligence can help our company."
Shraddha Malhotra
"Arre arre, no excuses."
Shraddha Malhotra
"You are very smart. And you even graduated with good grades."
Divya Arora
"But...aunty, I want to work somewhere else."
Shraddha Malhotra
"I know, beta."
Shraddha Malhotra
"But experience will help you."
Shraddha Malhotra
"It'll be beneficial, beta."
Shraddha Malhotra
"I'm not forcing you."
Divya Arora
*Thinks for a moment*
Divya Arora
"Umm...if you insist, I'd try it."
Shraddha Malhotra
"That's great! Rudra, remember to take her with you."
Rudra Malhotra
"Yes, maa."
Maya Arora
"But I will be bored being alone."
Shraddha Malhotra
*Chuckles*
Shraddha Malhotra
"Then, we will go shopping together."
Maya Arora
"Really?!!! Oh my god! Aunty, you are the best!!!!!!"
Rudra Malhotra
💭"Ugh, so noisy."
Rudra Malhotra
💭"Unlike her sister..."
Rudra Malhotra
*Eyes locked on Divya*
Rudra Malhotra
"Maa, papa. I will be going."
Shraddha Malhotra
"Oh, okay. Be safe, baccha. Wait... where's Divya?"
Divya Arora
"I'm here, aunty."
*Walking down the stairs*
Divya Arora
*Wearing a kurti*
Shraddha Malhotra
"Aye Haye, you are looking so beautiful."
Rudra Malhotra
*The man was too stunned to speak*
Shraddha Malhotra
"Kisi ki nazar na lage."
Rudra Malhotra
*Clears throat*
"We have to go, maa. You can do all that motherly thing later."
Divya Arora
"I'll be off, aunty."
Shraddha Malhotra
"Take care both of you. And Divya, if Rudra is being careless, tell me immediately."
Rudra Malhotra
"Hey! I'm a very careful and responsible man, maa."
Shraddha Malhotra
"Accha. We all know that. Now go."
Rudra Malhotra
"Yeah. Finally."
Rudra Malhotra

EP: 02
Rudra and Divya were both standing in front of the huge building.
Rudra Malhotra
"Welcome to V&M Empire."
Rudra Malhotra
"Let's go."
Divya Arora
*Follows him inside*
Rudra walks ahead, his posture was tall and confident.
The employees greeted him professionally, yet their eyes showed a hint of curiosity at the sight of Divya.
Vanya Mishra
"Sir!"
*Approaches him with a smile*
Rudra Malhotra
"Yes, Vanya?"
*Stops in front of her*
Vanya Mishra
*Looks at Divya*
Vanya Mishra
"Sir... who's she?"
Rudra Malhotra
"Oh, right. This is Divya. My mom's friend's daughter."
Divya Arora
"Namaste."
*Greets politely*
Vanya Mishra
"Ah, namaste. I'm Vanya. I'm sir's manager and assistant."
Rudra Malhotra
"She'll be working here for few days."
Vanya Mishra
"Oh, I see. Sir, shall I prepare a desk for her with other employees?"
Rudra Malhotra
"No. Her desk will be in my office. President's order."
Vanya Mishra
"Oh. Alright, sir. I'll have a desk arranged in your office."
Rudra Malhotra
"We'll be in my office. Arrange the desk by tomorrow."
Vanya Mishra
"Alright, sir."
Rudra Malhotra
*Walks away*
Divya Arora
"Umm...you didn't have to arrange a desk for me in your office. I am fine working with others."
Rudra Malhotra
"Can't help. Mom warned me to keep you safe and sound."
Rudra Malhotra
"No excuses. What my mom says is the final word."
The elevator opens at 12th floor. They walk out of the elevator. He unlocks his office.
Rudra Malhotra
"Come inside."
Divya Arora
*Nods and enters the office*
The office area is huge. There are floor-to-ceiling windows from where other buildings were visible. In the middle of the room, there is his desk, made out of mahogany wood. A small couch was just across his desk. There are many shelves with books and files. There is a door that led to private restroom.
Divya Arora
💭"Woah...this is very luxurious."
Rudra Malhotra
"Take a seat."
Divya Arora
*Sits at the couch*
Rudra Malhotra
*Sits beside her.*
Rudra Malhotra
"So...umm... I'll tell you about the company. How it works, taxes, investment, production, and sales etc."
Rudra pulls out a book from the drawer next to the couch. He opens that book. The book contains every little information about the company. Rudra explains everything slowly at gently.
Divya listens with quiet intrest. She asks few questions too.
Rudra Malhotra
"So... currently the sales have—"

"I didn't know you were...hehe...gay."
Rudra Malhotra
"What?!!!! No!! I'm not gay!!"
Shaurya Chauhan
"Woah, dude. Who's this cutie? When did you get a girlfriend?"

"Ohhhhh! The one you always talk about."
Rudra Malhotra
*Face palms and blushes*
💭"Why...why why why did he have to come today?"
Shaurya Chauhan
*Smirks and walks towards Divya*
Shaurya Chauhan
"So, cutie, what's your name? I'm sure your name is as beautiful as your face."
Rudra Malhotra
"Hey! Idiot, don't flirt with her."
Shaurya Chauhan
"What? You said she wasn't your girlfriend, then maybe she can be mine."
*Teases*
Rudra Malhotra
*Angry*
"Shaurya...if you don't leave now, I swear I'll bury you alive."
Shaurya Chauhan
"Woah, jeez dude. I was just joking. I'm leaving them."
Shaurya Chauhan
"See you, cutie."
*Winks at Divya*
Rudra Malhotra
"Ugh, I'm so sorry about that. "
Rudra Malhotra
"My friend can be sometimes too much flirty."
Divya Arora
"Hehe, it's fine. What was his name?"
Rudra Malhotra
*Shocked*
"Wait...his name. Why'd you ask?"
Rudra Malhotra
*Panicked*
"Hold up. No, you can't date him. He is messy and very flirty and all...you don't deserve that shit ass."
Divya Arora
"Hey, relax. I'm not interested in dating. I just thought he was funny."

Rudra Malhotra
"What did she say?"

"She was being dramatic as usual. She told us to bring something of her."
Rudra Malhotra
*Chuckles*
"Just she being herself."
Divya Arora
"She also said that you were the best."
Rudra Malhotra
"Oh yeah? I have to spoil her now."
Divya Arora
"Come on, she's already too spoiled. You, aunty and uncle. All of you spoil her too much."
Divya Arora
*Laughs with him*
They chat freely as they eat together.
They finish their food and take the leftovers with them for Maya.
They both settle in the car.

"Do you want to grab ice cream?"
Divya Arora
"My tummy is too full. So, nope."
Few minutes later of pure silence
Rudra Malhotra
"So...what are your plans for future?"
Rudra Malhotra
"Like, not job and all. What will you do in future? Get married and start a family? Or live with Maya all your life?"
Divya Arora
"To be honest, I want to stay with my little sis my entire life. But she'll be off to University soon, so...I have no choice but cope up with the distance."
Rudra Malhotra
"Umm…do you wish to get married?"
Divya Arora
"It's not a wish...if it happens naturally...and I'll give in. I don't think it's my top priority."
Divya Arora
"What about you?"
Rudra Malhotra
" I don't know...well...I do want to get married...with the woman of my dreams."
Divya Arora
*Chuckles*
"So you do have a crush? I thought you were just the plain old CEO."
Rudra Malhotra
*Blushes. His eyes focused on the road*
Rudra Malhotra
"Whatever. Don't tease me. Let's forget this conversation happened."
