Rudra came out of his thoughts and remembered the woman who settled constantly in his mind. He shook his head and immediately called Maahir.
Maahir was asleep when his phone buzzed. He woke drowsily and saw Rurda displayed on his screen. In an instant, his daze cleared."Why is he calling me now? Did I make a mistake?" Maahir froze in place staring at the screen. He sighed with a grunt, "I need to lift it, or else I'm fired."With a squint, "Boss!""Did you get the details I asked for?""About that girl?" Maahir again felt the tingle at the back of his neck. To say he was shocked would be an understatement."What is happening to him? He never showed the slightest interest in women, but it seems different now. I guess she'll be the future madam." Maahir struggled in his thoughts."Yes, boss!!" Maahir informed."Forward it to me now""Okay. 'Boss! One min', are you at home?""Nope! I'm at my mother's house. Is anything important??""Great. His mother's house, which means he's in a bad mood, so I guess I shouldn't piss him off." Maahir deduced."Yes, that builder contacted me. He said he won't cooperate with us." Rudra remained silent in encouragement to continue."I think… the matter is getting… out of our hands…" Maahir said in a tremulous tone biting his nails with scrunched eyebrows. With each passing second, Maahir breath hooked, and he clasped his hands."Okay, I will take a look at it. Forward me the details he mentioned, and also to vice-president, Tamaz."Rudra opened the document curiously. Ms. Tanvi Siara Agarwal. 27 years old, working in Umbro technologies as a program analyst and design engineer and a Fashion designing enthusiast. "Good job Maahir." Rudra thought."Umbro technologies?" Rudra narrowed his eyes, "If I remember correctly, they collaborated with Chauhan Group of Companies recently." The corners of his lips curved into a slight smile."He got the information from her childhood to till date." Mother is a housewife, and her father works as a teacher in a private school and has no siblings. She's a workaholic, 'interesting,' thought Rudra.Scrolled down further, the pictures of the trio made his lips go wide, "It seems that they're best friends." Zoomed the snap and stared at her with amusement. At last, her registration in matrimony sites ticked him."Most importantly, she is single." He smiled to himself. Rudra freshened up and made a quick call to Tamaz."Hey bro!! What's up?" Tamaz asked."Nothing much! I came to my mother's house.""Oooh! How are you feeling now??""Pretty good! I'll be back home tonight, join me there.""Okay, Bro. Take care!!"Rudra went into the storeroom where the toys he used to play with her mom are present. He gazed at them with a sense of longing when his stomach rumbled vigorously. "When was the last time I ate?" He racked his hair while thinking and realized, "It's been more than 20 hours."Rudra stepped down and sat at the dining table. Immediately, Karan came in and placed the dishes he made. Karan knew him well since he raised Rudra for a few years. He always prepared food according to Rudra's taste and mood. Rudra was pretty happy about that.Seeing the dishes, "Um! You never send me without a feast." Rudra exclaimed. Karan stood beside Rudra, looking at this almighty man, his eyes moistened.Rudra was a meticulous observer, he decided to change the old man's thoughts while eating. "You are fifty now. How's your health?" Karan chuckled, "I'm still the same master in martial arts." Rudra nodded without raising his head, "I know.""I learned some special moves. Want to try?" Karan raised his eyebrow with provocation. "You would know how healthy I'm.""Haha! No need. By looking at your strong body, I can say that." Rudra smirked, and they both burst out laughing."You can beat more than ten top-notch bodyguards," Rudra spoke while staring at him."I can be at peace while I'm here. He takes good care of this house, which is a relief." Rudra reflected. "He is the person on whom I can rely on without a doubt."…Rudra reaches his mansion at about 09:00 PM, freshens up, and sees Tamaz. Tamaz was already waiting downstairs. Rudra greeted him and went down into the wine cellar to grab their favorite bottle of wine. A red DRC from 1990.They went into the study room, and Rudra told him how to deal with the builder and a few other jobs while drinking their wine. Eventually, they went to the rec room and played billiard tables.After a while, Rudra confessed, "I am attracted to Tanvi." Tamaz is utterly shocked. Rudra rarely spoke about any woman, and even if he talks about them, he didn't show much attention or affection towards them.Tamaz gave a puzzled look, "Am I listening correctly?" Rudra grinned aloud while nodding."I am happy for you, bro!! Finally, one woman got your attention." Tamaz said with excitement.Rudra chuckled listening to Tamaz reminisce. They chit chatted for a while until finally wandering off to find their beds.…Tanvi sat on the couch while designing the garments. She is portraying it considering every meticulous detail. Her swift movements gave a smooth look to the draft. Satisfied since it was perfect and was exploring sketching it to look more appealing.Meanwhile, her phone buzzed. "Is it Riaan again?" She pondered. "He already called me five times today." With that, she glanced at the screen, "Huh! As expected." They spoke for a while."I don't know if he is like that with everyone or only me, but I kind of liked the way he talks with me." She mused."Riaan was born in Nagpur, and his family settled in Jaipur, but he's living in London." 'It's interesting,' she inferred.Tanvi opened the matrimony site and surfed through the legal information, The legally verified profiles have a badge elite." She checked the profile of Riaan and found the badge. "Huh!!! It's verified one then." A reassuring smile appeared on her face.…Ameera sat on the couch and was watching vampire diaries on her smart television. When the scene was interesting, she heard a knock. "Uf!! Who the hell is banging the bell-like crazy?" She sighed with annoyance and opened the door."Surprise!!" Tanvi shouted and entered the house. Ameera laughed, "Damn you! I thought a crazy maniac is hitting." Tanvi gave a sly smile, "I am a fanatic know," and they burst out chuckling hard."You're continuing this series?" Tanvi asked in a puzzled tone. "Don't you get bored?" Ameera hooked her hand around her neck, "Fantasy lovers won't get bored seeing this.""You look different, baby! What's the matter?""Um!! Actually, I'm here to tell you about that." Tanvi gave a 'hard to read' look."I am all ears then. Come on, spill it out."Tanvi handed her mobile to Ameera while showing Riaan on the screen. "Woah!! Who is this handsome?" Ameera gave a mischievous look. "Umm…" Tanvi's face turned red."Wait! Did anyone approach you? Was he from the matrimony site?" Tanvi nodded trying to hide her excitement. Ameera became full attentive with the turn of events. "Wow, dude! Tell me about him."With that, Ameera opened the refrigerator and grabbed a few Budweiser beer bottles, chicken lollipops, and french fries. They arranged the complete setup for endless conversations near the window.Tanvi glanced at the faraway moon when the cool breeze hitting them makes her feel pleasant while discussing with a beer. With the heavy air, Ameera's hair strands fell on her eyes and closed her view. She tucked them, "He said he liked you? What next?" Ameera inquired curiously with a lollipop in one hand and held the beer bottle in the other."I don't know babe! Talking with him makes me comfortable. There's nothing odd with his attitude either." Tanvi reminded Riaan and a slight smile was replaced on her lips."He seems to be from an educated family, well-settled, good-looking, great manners, and moreover, he liked you!!" Ameera rephrased whatever Tanvi said. Tanvi's eyes sparkled with this conclusion while Ameera gave her a tight hug in approval.…07:00 AM, 31th AugustAmeera woke up a little earlier than Tanvi. she had to get to the office about an hour ahead of Tanvi. Ameera called out to Tanvi as she blows her hair dry.Tanvi quickly freshened up and got ready. While on her way to the office, her phone rings. Riaan's name lit the screen. She blushed slightly and lifted the call."Hey, Tanvi!!""Hi, Riaan! What's up?""I'm still in bed! Just woke up and called you." He replied cozily."Oh! that's great. I'm on my way to the office.""Okay, carry on. Call me when you are free.""Sure!!""I'll wait for your call. Don't forget that." He said in a soothing tone."Hahaha!!!! Sure!! Bye! take care!!"Tanvi is laughing remembering their conversation. "He is very caring towards me. I don't know the exact reason for his behavior, but makes me feel great inside." She reddened. Tanvi arrived at the office and as usual, got straight to work.…Riaan tossed his phone aside and lay on the bed under the duvet. He rolled off the soft mattress with his hair mussed and a subtle beard. The room is well-racked with good closets, and deep blue walls and a picture of his mother alongside him is hanging on the wall. A working desk beside the bed with piles of information files and pictures of females left unorganized. He grabbed Tanvi's picture among them and stared in a daze.She always seems so busy. Still, she did seem happy that I called. Maybe I'm getting through to her. Although, it'll probably take more time for her to trust and open up to me. But, even if I'm not there yet, I'll make sure we get there as soon as I can.…Rudra sat in the swiveling black chair with his legs crossed and flipping the ongoing construction report of the hotel. The pin-drop silence in the study room was replaced by his boots clicking. His sloe eyes pin down the financial details. The brim of his lips gave a derisive curve."Thanks to all the delays and ruckus from the builder, Harish, the deal was going nowhere." Rudra noticed when an offensive look emerged in his obsidian-brown eyes. "At this rate, the hotel is going to create a huge loss if I didn't do something," He decided while an evil aura danced around him.Rudra slammed the glossy white table with disdain, and the files lying on it turned upside down. He stood up in a swift moment by racking his hair and leaned on the wood color designed wall when Tamaz sped to his room. "Hey, Bro! What's wrong with you in the dawn?" Tamaz asked in an abnormal breath with a shout.Rudra glanced at him with unreadable eyes without speaking a word. "What were you trying to decipher?"
It's the first time Tanvi stepped into the Chauhan Group of Companies. Looking at the giant office, filled corridors, hurried people, she couldn't help but admire.She remembered her manager's words, "Tanvi, I've expectations on this deal as well as on you. We must get it at any cost, and I'm sure only you can do that."With her daze, her team-mate patted her when Maahir approached them. Maahir stopped dread in tracks by her presence. Soon, he composed himself and decided to pretend like it's the first time he had seen her."You are here for a presentation, Miss...?""Yes. I'm Tanvi Siara Agarwal." She said with her shoulders back and head held high.Maahir nodded, "Please come this way."Nihar and Tanvi started walking on the white marble floor. On their way, a tall figure with a cold-look, flawless skin in the warm-ivory shade, chiseled jaw, dressed in a black suit with perfectly styled hair followed by a bunch of subordinates crossed her path. A uniq
Tanvi finished with work at around 05:30 PM. On the way to her home, she wondered, "Did I make it? What'll Mr. Rudra decide?" She tucked her hair behind her ears, "There's nothing I can do on that. Why waste my time?"With that, she began surfing through her mobile and came across a few interesting design ideas. Her eyes grew wide in anticipation with a glimmer."They are all great, but how to design the combination uniquely?" She began brainstorming by twirling her pendant with her slender fingers until she connected all the dots. A wave of relaxation washed over her."Woah!! If I made this design it would be stunningly gorgeous know?" Excitement shot through her nerves. She reached her apartment and slipped the keys off in her bewilderment. "Oops!" She tapped her forehead and twisted the doorknob.Tanvi jumped onto the couch and commenced designing the draft. Her round eyes followed the swift movements of an ink brush. Her delicate hand swung while painting endlessly.After hours of
08:00 AM. Maahir stood at the isolated location dressed in a white shirt paired up with a beige blazer with gelled onyx hair. With his tall figure, wheatish complexion, and husky muscles, he looked extremely handsome. He strode towards the door and rang the bell a few times, but no response.Peered again at the address on his mobile and looked at his watch. He clenched his fists and punched the wall, then took a deep breath. Put out his cigarette and waited for a while. "What games are you playing, Harish? Come on, open the door now." Maahir yelled.Looking at his unbothered attitude, Maahir's blood boiled with fury. Taking a deep breath, "I know that you are inside. If you didn't act accordingly now, your situation will be even worse." Maahir warned him in a threatening tone, yet Harish didn't show up. He kicked the door in frustration and stomped aside.Grabbing his mobile from the pocket, he dialed Rudra. While Rudra sat on the couch, looking through the documents of The Magenta Bu
Tanvi was in her cabin when her manager Jitender messaged her, "Come to my cabin."With a sigh, she put her work aside and muttered under her breath, "Huh!! I'm sure he'll ask about the presentation."Inhaling a chunk of air, "But.. what to say? Even I don't know the answer." She soughed and left her cabin with a pout."May I come in." She gave a slight knock and queried in her dulcet tone.Almost instantly, she heard a quick 'yes' and hesitantly strode in while a pleasing smile plastered across her face.He glanced at her, his gaze excited,"Any update?"Hearing that, she gulped and muttered, "No, Jitender. I'm waiting for them to contact me."A frown settled on him, and he questioned with a raised brow, "Can't you make the first move?""Um... I don't know whether I can directly send an email to Mr. Chauhan?" Tanvi pondered while fiddling with her fingers, "What if it's not a good thing to contact him straight?""Did you have his email?"Snapped back, "Yes, I found it. It's in the col
2nd SeptemberRudra was in his cabin, finalizing a few of the prominent documents about his upcoming dealings when a knock came by. Without lifting his head, his stern voice said, "come in.""Boss.""Hm.""Ms. Tanvi sent an email.""Okay."Maahir remained dumbfounded and frozen in place, "I thought she is important to him? Is she not?""What name did you say?" A voice caught Maahir's back."It's Ms. Tanvi, Boss."Hearing her name, Rudra paused and lifted his head with widened eyes. An amused look danced on him. "I'll look into it." Maahir nodded and left.In an instant, Rudra logged into the email and opened the one sent by Tanvi.From: tanvisiaraagarwal@umbro. comTo : president@chauhangroup. comGreetings to the President,I am Tanvi Siara Agarwal, BlockChain Project head representing on behalf of Umbro Technologies. My apologies if I had crossed my limits in emailing you, but I sincerely request you to watch th
06:00 PM. Tanvi arrived at her apartment after a hectic day. While shoving her door open, the keys jingled, and she dropped them twice before jiggling the right one into the lock. With a deep sigh, she reached her bedroom and slipped into her pajamas.Strode to her kitchen for a good coffee, while her head is aching pretty bad with the level of stress. In addition to it, "I need to meet Mr. Chauhan and Sign off the project officially.""Ah, my cup is already full with piles of work, and I should travel in between too?" She cursed herself while her coffee was ready by then. Grabbed the cup, she switched on her television and began sipping.Meanwhile, a buzzing sound banged in the living room and disturbed her peace. She screamed with annoyance and went to pick it up. It's Riaan."Hey, Tanvi.""Yes.""I'm in no mood to entertain this today. I have no energy left. I just wanted to sleep and relax." She thought when his voice snapped her back."How's your day?" Riaan noticed the discomfo
Rudra was in his office checking the design and presentation that they were working on to present with the 'Builders Dynasty,' which was a great deal he's going to associate with when her thoughts disturbed him."Her sweet voice, deep black eyes, bouncy hair, her fragrance, dazzling smile, an inevitable charm she possesses, ugh! She's bothering me." Rudra sighed when the corners of his lips curved upwards.Put his files aside, strode to the sprawling glass, and glanced at the blue sky, which was becoming grey with the clouds. "There's something in you, Tanvi, which was attracting me and driving towards you." Rudra opened her snap and stared at her intently."I know you got mesmerized by me, but still composed yourself without acting like other crazy people who threw herself at me." A proud smirk lingered on him when his eyes brightened."I'm not sure whether it's a wise decision to want you by my side or not, but your presence brings happiness to me." His forehead creased with this th
