Two years ago..

Yashvardhan's introduction in his words:

"My name is yashvardhan Agnihotri. I'm 36 years old. At this age, most people around me have settled down, some even with kids. My family has tried - repeatedly - to push me into marriage, worried I'm falling behind in life. They don't understand that I don't love anyone, and honestly, I don't care to love or be loved. Marriage? It's never been something I've wanted or believed in. I keep people at a distance, not because I hate them, but because I'm safer that way. I've had my share of casual relationship, nothing serious, nothing that makes me vulnerable. Solitude and control - those are what matter to me. No flashy villas, no noisy family gathering. Just silence. Just me."

Yashvardhan Agnihotri was highly confident and sometimes stubborn businessman known for his ruthless in professional matters. As the chairman of Agnihotri Enterprises, one of Mumbai's largest conglomerates, his net worth was estimated to billions. Known for his sharp acumen and assertive leadership, Yashvardhan was in compromising when it came to business outcomes, and he didn't hesitate to fire anyone if performance did not meet his standards. His powerful presence in Mumbai's corporate world made him one of the most formidable businessmans in the city.

Yashvardhan was on a business trip in another country. There, he was very busy with his work. Suddenly, while he was occupied with his tasks, he received a call regarding and important update:

Yashvardhan: hello?

Rajat: hello Mr. Agnihotri, this is Rajat from the company. I hope I'm not disturbing you.

Yashvardhan: what's the matter?

Rajat: sir, I wanted to inform you that one of our employees has arrived from another city with his wife and child.

Yashvardhan: mm.

Rajat: since our private employeee residence already filled. So HR department decided to provide them the apartment on your floor, which has one empty apartment there.

(only few close one knows about Yashvardhan's real identity. But in the company every one respectful and fearful of his presence because they knew that they can't mess with him.)

Yashvardhan: (angrily) I was living alone on that floor, and I never allowed anyone else there!

Rajat: I understand your concern, sir. But given their situation, company had to move them temporary. After sometime company will arrange something for them. We hope you understand.

Yashvardhan: (fuming) make it fast.

Rajat: we appreciate your understanding, sir. If you have any other concern, please let us know.

Yashvardhan: alright, keep me update.

Rajat: certainly, sir. Thank you for your time.

After the call, Yashvardhan immersed himself completely in his work. Business meetings, and presentations. He concentrated on his work so intensely that he forget about the employee moving into his floor.

On the other side, Debayan Ganguli, a deputy manager known for his excellent work ethic and strict professiOnalism but gentle nature with his employees, along with his wife Keya and their 3 year - old son Ishan, were preparing to move from Kolkata to Mumbai. They were eager to start a new chapter full of hopes and dreams in the bustling City.

Debayan was deeply affectionate at towards his family, loving his wife and son more than anything. The family was busy settling into their new life, and Debayan's dedication to work remained unwavering. They were carefully transforming They apartment into a warm home, getting their son Ishan enrolled in kindergarten, and adjusting to city life.

A month had passed, and both the Ganguli family and Debayan's were beginning to feel more settled despite the workload. Keya was managing household task while Debayan was attending to his professional responsibilities.

Meanwhile, Yashvardhan had return from his business trip and signed a multi-crore deal worth hundreds of crores. Ecstatic, he went out to celebrate with his friends Aditya and Karan.

Yashvardhan: (raising glass) "to hard work, determination, and the biggest deal of the year! This is just the beginning, my friends".

Aditya: "cheers to that: your dedication inspires us all."

Karan: " here's to many more deals and celebrations."

they partied all night, sharing joy and celebrating success, as Yashvardhan loved such a moments with close friends who always supported him.
