EPISODE 1 — THE CALL BACK HOME

NovelToon
[Milan, Italy — 8:45 PM | EK COUTURE HEADQUARTERS]
The entire office was unusually quiet. On the top floor, behind the glass walls of the CEO's cabin, Ekansh Rajvanshi stood near the floor-to-ceiling window, his attention fixed on the city lights of Milan. A file lay open on his desk while his secretary, Vansh Mehra, waited silently for his decision.
Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)
Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)
You had one job, Vansh.
Vansh Mehra(ML P.A)
Vansh Mehra(ML P.A)
Sir, I know.
Ekansh slowly turned toward him. His expression remained calm, but there was a clear warning in his eyes.
Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)
Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)
Then explain to me why the deal is still pending.
Vansh Mehra(ML P.A)
Vansh Mehra(ML P.A)
The Italian investors changed their terms at the last moment.
Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)
Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)
And you accepted that?
Vansh Mehra(ML P.A)
Vansh Mehra(ML P.A)
No, sir.
Ekansh picked up the file from his desk and went through the last page before closing it.
Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)
Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)
Cancel the deal.
Vansh Mehra(ML P.A)
Vansh Mehra(ML P.A)
But sir, we've already invested—
Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)
Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)
I said cancel it.
Vansh immediately stopped arguing. He knew better than anyone that once Ekansh made a decision, changing his mind was almost impossible.
Vansh Mehra(ML P.A)
Vansh Mehra(ML P.A)
Understood, sir.
Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)
Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)
Move tomorrow's meetings to next week.
Vansh Mehra(ML P.A)
Vansh Mehra(ML P.A)
All of them?
Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)
Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)
All of them.
Vansh Mehra(ML P.A)
Vansh Mehra(ML P.A)
Is something wrong?
Before Ekansh could answer, his phone started ringing. He glanced at the screen.
DAD CALLING
His expression changed slightly. After a brief pause, he answered the call.
Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)
Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)
Dad.

Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)
Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)
That's generally how business works.
Rajiv Rajvanshi(ML Father)
Rajiv Rajvanshi(ML Father)
Not when your family has been asking you to come home for almost three years.
Ekansh leaned against the edge of his desk, already knowing where this conversation was going.
Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)
Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)
What's so urgent?
Rajiv Rajvanshi(ML Father)
Rajiv Rajvanshi(ML Father)
Your grandfather wants you home.

And both families will be there.
Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)
Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)
Dad—
Rajiv Rajvanshi(ML Father)
Rajiv Rajvanshi(ML Father)
No excuses this time.
Ekansh remained silent. He looked out of the window again, watching the city below.
Rajiv Rajvanshi(ML Father)
Rajiv Rajvanshi(ML Father)
How many years has it been since you've actually attended a family function
Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)
Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)
I don't remember.
Rajiv Rajvanshi(ML Father)
Rajiv Rajvanshi(ML Father)
Exactly. Come home, son.
For a few seconds, there was nothing but silence between them.
Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)
Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)
Fine.
Rajiv Rajvanshi(ML Father)
Rajiv Rajvanshi(ML Father)
Good. Your mother will finally stop complaining.
Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)
Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)
Don't tell her yet.
Rajiv Rajvanshi(ML Father)
Rajiv Rajvanshi(ML Father)
Too late.
Ekansh heard his mother's voice in the background.
Nandini Rajvanshi(ML Mother)
Nandini Rajvanshi(ML Mother)
He agreed?
Rajiv Rajvanshi(ML Father)
Rajiv Rajvanshi(ML Father)
Yes.
Nandini Rajvanshi(ML Mother)
Nandini Rajvanshi(ML Mother)
Finally!
Ekansh closed his eyes for a moment.

I'll call you later.
Rajiv Rajvanshi(ML Father)

Tomorrow?
Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)
Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)
I'll be on the flight.
Rajiv Rajvanshi(ML Father)

That's my boy.
The call ended. Ekansh placed his phone on the desk and looked at Vansh, who had been patiently waiting.
Vansh Mehra(ML P.A)
Vansh Mehra(ML P.A)
India?
Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)
Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)
India.
Vansh Mehra(ML P.A)

How long?
Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)

Should I cancel the Milan meetings completely?
Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)

No. Move everything online.
Vansh Mehra(ML P.A)

And the private jet?

Get it ready.
Vansh Mehra(ML P.A)
Vansh Mehra(ML P.A)
Tonight?
Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)

Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)
Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)
And Vansh?
Vansh Mehra(ML P.A)
Vansh Mehra(ML P.A)
Yes, sir?
Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)
Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)
Nobody follows me with unnecessary media.
Vansh Mehra(ML P.A)
Vansh Mehra(ML P.A)
Understood.
Ekansh walked out of his office without another word.
NovelToon
[Milan Private Airport — 11:30 PM]
The private jet was ready on the runway. Vansh stood beside the aircraft with Ekansh's luggage while Ekansh walked toward the stairs, his phone still in his hand. Several messages from his mother appeared on the screen.
Nandini Rajvanshi(ML Mother)
Nandini Rajvanshi(ML Mother)
Don't even think about cancelling.
Nandini Rajvanshi(ML Mother)
Nandini Rajvanshi(ML Mother)
Your room is ready.
Nandini Rajvanshi(ML Mother)
Nandini Rajvanshi(ML Mother)
And don't come home looking like you've been living in an office.
Ekansh stared at the messages for a moment before a faint smile appeared on his face.
Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)
Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)
Unbelievable.
Vansh Mehra(ML P.A)
Vansh Mehra(ML P.A)
Your mother?
Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)
Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)
Unfortunately.
Vansh laughed quietly. Ekansh stepped inside the jet and took his seat.
Vansh Mehra(ML P.A)
Vansh Mehra(ML P.A)
Everything is arranged. Your meetings have been shifted, and the Rajvanshi Group board meeting has also been moved online.
Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)
Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)
Good.
Vansh Mehra(ML P.A)
Vansh Mehra(ML P.A)
How long are you planning to stay in India?
Ekansh looked out of the window as the aircraft prepared for takeoff.
Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)
Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)
I'll decide when I get there.
Vansh Mehra(ML P.A)
Vansh Mehra(ML P.A)
That's not very reassuring.
Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)
Ekansh Rajvanshi(ML)
Ekansh gave him a cold look.
Vansh Mehra(ML P.A)
Vansh Mehra(ML P.A)
Right. Sorry.
A few minutes later, the private jet took off for India.

Maya Rajvanshi( ML Sister)
Maya Rajvanshi( ML Sister)
Mom, my brother hasn't come home properly in years. I'm absolutely making a big deal out of it.
Devendra Rajvanshi sat quietly in his chair, watching the three of them with an amused expression.

Let the boy come home first.
Maya Rajvanshi( ML Sister)

[Rathore Mansion — Same Morning]
Across the city, preparations were underway at the Rathore Mansion as well. The family was getting ready for Vikram and Meera Rathore's anniversary celebration. Ekanshi was sitting with her family, checking something on her phone while Avinash was going through the guest list.
Meera Rathore(FL Mother)
Meera Rathore(FL Mother)
Ekanshi, are you sure you'll be free this evening?
Ekanshi Rathore(FL)

Mom, I already told you. I'll be there.

Exactly. That's not a promise.
Meera Rathore(FL Mother)

You two can argue later.
Everyone laughed. Harishvardhan Rathore, who had been listening quietly, finally looked up from his newspaper.
Harishvardhan Rathore(FL Grandpa)

The Rajvanshis will be coming tonight.
Ekanshi looked up.

Everyone?

Vikram Rathore(FL Father)
Almost everyone.
Avinash Rathore(FL Brother)
Avinash Rathore(FL Brother)

Ekanshi Rathore(FL)
Ekanshi Rathore(FL)
He's coming?
Meera Rathore(FL Mother)
Meera Rathore(FL Mother)
Apparently.
Avinash Rathore(FL Brother)

I've never actually met him.

You haven't.
Ekanshi Rathore(FL)
Ekanshi Rathore(FL)
No.
Avinash Rathore(FL Brother)
Avinash Rathore(FL Brother)
Then tonight should be interesting.
Ekanshi shrugged, completely unaware of how significant that evening would become.
Ekanshi Rathore(FL)
Ekanshi Rathore(FL)
We'll see.
She returned her attention to her phone, not knowing that somewhere above the clouds, Ekansh Rajvanshi was already on his way back to India.
And neither of them knew that their first meeting was only hours away.

EPISODE 2 — THE RETURN

[Rajvanshi Private Airport — India | 6:30 PM]
The private jet finally landed in India. After years away, Ekansh Rajvanshi had finally returned home. Vansh stepped out first, followed by Ekansh, dressed in a perfectly tailored black suit. He looked exactly as he always did—calm, composed and impossible to read.
Vansh Mehra(ML P.A)
