A 28 years old CEO everyone fears , sharp eyes , colder words and a heart locked behind boardroom walls but at home? at home he is mumma's prince , baba's pride and his sister's forever partner-in-crime
And on his keychain , right beside the keys to his favourite bike , hung a tiny jhumka , a silent proof that his heart still waits for the girl who once dropped it and never looked back...
Ep 2
The glass doors of THE ARYA'S slid open with a hushed whisper while revealing a lobby that smelled of luxury and authority , every corner was gleaming , every step was echoing with discipline , employees were walking fast , speaking less because this wasn’t just a company , it was an empire~
And , on the 36th floor , there was complete silence , except for the rhythmic tapping of a pen against the table
A man was sitting behind the grand desk in a black suit , wristwatch glinting and a gaze sharp enough to freeze time , it was Shivendra Arya , CEO of The Arya's , the man who built walls taller than skyscrapers and let no one climb them~
Shivendra Arya/ML
Cancel the meeting at 10:30 (said while looking at the iPad screen)
Xavier Rossi/ML P.A
But sir , it’s with the Minister’s team-
Shivendra Arya/ML
(looks at him)
Xavier Rossi/ML P.A
(gulp)
Shivendra Arya/ML
I said cancel it
Xavier Rossi/ML P.A
(nod his head)
Shivendra Arya/ML
And tightened my schedule on this Saturday
Xavier Rossi/ML P.A
I am sorry but I can't
Xavier Rossi/ML P.A
Lady boss said to keep you free on this Saturday as they are going to meet a girl for your marriage (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤
Shivendra Arya/ML
Mumma , you are a step ahead of me (mumbled)
Xavier Rossi/ML P.A
(looking at him)
Shivendra Arya/ML
I don't care , tighten my schedule and I will give you bonus (put the iPad on the table)
Xavier Rossi/ML P.A
The deal is good but Yakshit boss offered me vacation which you aren't ready to give ┐(´д`)┌
Xavier Rossi/ML P.A
(smirk at him)
Shivendra Arya/ML
Xavier , you work for me 💢
Xavier Rossi/ML P.A
♪～(´ε｀ )
(turned a deaf ear to him)
Shivendra Arya/ML
(lean back on the chair and closed his eyes with a sigh)
Xavier Rossi/ML P.A
I will send your coffee
Shivendra Arya/ML
no coffee
Xavier Rossi/ML P.A

Shivendra Arya/ML

Ice cream tub , on my table , in 10 minutes and you know which flavour ❄️
Xavier Rossi/ML P.A
(scoffed at him and walked out of the cabin)
Shivendra Arya/ML
(took out the keys from his pocket and looks at the jhumka)
Shivendra Arya/ML
seems like now I have to forget you Miss. Fallen jhumka (mumbled looking at the jhumka)
Somewhere , in Mumbai only
The gentle hum of morning prayers were drifting through the house and a girl in mid-twenties was standing by the balcony , she was wearing an ivory chikankari kurti , her coffee was untouched and her eyes were lost somewhere far beyond the view from the balcony
Eraya Tripathi/FL BFF
📲 babe are you even listening?
Unknown
📲 I am (said with a smile and grabbed the cup of coffee from the table)
Eraya Tripathi/FL BFF
📲 You are sounding nervous !?
Unknown
📲 I don't get nervous
Eraya Tripathi/FL BFF
📲 Okay , I will call you later as I need to go
Eraya Tripathi/FL BFF
(hang up the call)
Unknown
(tossed the phone aside , put the cup on the table and closed her eyes)
Unknown
Shiv , I wonder if you remember me too even if it was just a glance (whispered to herself)
And she had no idea that somewhere , the same boy or should I say now a grown man had never forgotten her and that soon she will walk into a room and see him , not as a stranger but as her husband~
Lakshita Jindal/FL mother
(sat beside her)
Lakshita Jindal/FL mother
they are coming this Saturday , they just called your papa
Lakshita Jindal/FL mother
You will thank me when the boy’s family walks in
Lakshita Jindal/FL mother
They are a well-respected family and good people , you will like them (said gently)
Unknown
I am not against it mumma , it’s just strange , letting someone walk into your life and call it forever (soft voice)
Lakshita Jindal/FL mother
Maybe forever doesn’t always walks in sometimes , maybe it returns sometimes
Unknown
Mumma (hesitating tone)
Lakshita Jindal/FL mother
Hmm (looking at her)
Unknown
.... Do you believe we meet the same soul more than once? (said after a pause)
Lakshita Jindal/FL mother
Why do you ask !?
Lakshita Jindal/FL mother
...... it's about him , right ?
Unknown
(slowly nod her head)
Lakshita Jindal/FL mother
If it’s written in your fate , you won’t just meet him , you will marry him
Lakshita Jindal/FL mother
Forget him , you just saw him once (stood up)
Lakshita Jindal/FL mother
(walked away)
Unknown
If that’s true I hope fate remembers our meeting because I only ever knew his name as Shiv (whispered)
Xavier Rossi/ML P.A
(holding a bunch of files)
Xavier Rossi/ML P.A
(put the files aside and looks at the caller ID)
Xavier Rossi/ML P.A
Lady boss (mumbled while picking the call)
Saranya Yakshit Arya/ML mother
📲 where is your boss , Xavier ?
Xavier Rossi/ML P.A
📲 he went to temple , to his Shiv jii , once again to ask his Miss. Fallen jhumka
Saranya Yakshit Arya/ML mother
📲 once he returns , tell him to call me
Xavier Rossi/ML P.A
📲 yes boss~
Saranya Yakshit Arya/ML mother
(hang up the call)
Saranya Yakshit Arya/ML mother
Shiv jii , aapko aapki Parvati jii mil gayi thi , mere bete ko bhi uski Parvati se mila dijiye (mumbled)
(TRANSLATION : Shivji, you found your Parvatiji, please reunite my son with his Parvati too)
At the same temple where Shivendra collided with her
Shivendra Arya/ML
(standing with closed eyes and joined hands)
Shivendra Arya/ML
(in mind : Shiv jii , ab sab aap par hi chod raha hu , kyuki is baar agar shadi ke liye na kaha to meri maa meri khaal udedh dengi , bina soche samjhe shadi ke liye haan kar raha hu , aap sambhal lijiyega)
(TRANSLATION : Shiv ji, now I am leaving everything to you, because this time if I said no to marriage then my mother will tear my skin apart, so, without thinking and understanding anything I am saying yes to this marriage, please take care of everything)
Shivendra Arya/ML
(in mind : aur haan , aashirvaad dijiye , apni life ka ek naya phase shuru karne ja raha hu)
(TRANSLATION : And yes, please bless me, I am about to start a new phase of my life)
It was Shivendra's daily routine since the past 6 years , he used to visit the same temple every day at the same time where he saw that girl , in a hope that he will see her again and maybe this time , he will finally get to talk with her or see her a little longer than before or maybe return her fallen jhumka but he also knew that it's enough now , it's been 6 years and he won't be able to find her and hence he finally agreed to marry the girl his parents choose for him without knowing how brutally fate will entangle him with his wife-to-be
Shivendra Arya/ML
ना चेहरा देखा, ना नाम जाना,
फिर भी दिल ने बस उसे ही पहचाना,
एक झुमका गिरा था मंदिर की राह में,
तब से हर दुआ में बस उसी को मांगा
(TRANSLATION : I didn't see her face, I didn't know her name, Yet my heart recognized her only. A earring had fallen in the temple, since then I have asked for her only in every prayer)

Small talk with author
Author
I know many of you suggested changing Shivendra's picture and I truly appreciate every suggestion , I even gave everyone a chance to choose because I wanted to know what readers imagined
Author
But after thinking about it , I have decided to keep the current one , not because I think it's the most handsome face but because this is the face through which I can see Shivendra
Author
When I write him , I can imagine him smiling after teasing the FL , I can imagine him laughing without holding back , I can imagine the little smirks , the quiet chuckles , the moments when his eyes soften while looking at her , I can imagine him breaking down , crying , getting angry , standing silently or simply existing and every emotion feels natural on this face to me
Author
For me , a face claim isn't about perfection , it's about whether I can believe that the character lives behind it
Author
And... at the end of the day , characters aren't remembered because of the face we give them , they're remembered because of the life we write into them , as the story goes on , every reader will slowly stop seeing this picture and start seeing their own Shivendra in their mind
Author
This picture is simply how I imagine him and since I am the one telling his story , this is the Shivendra who exists in my imagination ❤️
Author
But still , I got a last option and only option , while scrolling pinterest last night , I found this one picture 👇🏻
Author
So , now you have two options
Author
If you want this new picture , type "yes" here
Author
If you want this the current picture , type "yes" here
