Sujoy's POV

My phone rang. Juggling the bags in one hand, I struggled to retrieve my phone from my pocket—only to collide into someone.

One of my cake boxes slipped from my grasp. I managed to catch it just before it hit the floor.

"Dammit! Can’t you watch where you’re going?" I snapped, still focused on the cake.

A soft, apologetic voice responded. "Oh, I’m so sorry! I was in a hurry. Please accept my apology."

Something about her voice made me look up.

And just like that, I forgot about the cake.

She stood before me, a vision of effortless beauty—about 5'6", with long, wavy hair cascading down her back. Her big, expressive black eyes shone with sincerity. Her plump lips—completely devoid of lipstick—were naturally pink and impossibly kissable.

She smelled subtly of vanilla, fresh and warm, like she had just stepped out of a dream.

For a moment, I just stared.

"Are you alright?" she asked, glancing at the cake box in my hand. "Did I damage anything? Please check, I’ll replace it if n

    Sujoy's POV " He came with Viren. He was one of the Virens' guests. " " Viren ??" Mohit asked. " What?? " I was confused. " Viren? Viraj's son?? Are you sure? " I asked. " Absolutely!! I had packed a lunch for a picnic for Viren, he was talking about that." Srusti said. " What did he say? ""That he loved them, and then Viren told me that he usually eats from his lunchbox. But that day, he could share his lunch with his friend, and he loved it too. " She said with a cute smile. " Of course, poor Viren! We know about Maya's culinary skills. " Mohit said and rolled his eyes. I could not help laughing. " Anything else about his parents?? Family? Mom? " I asked. " He started saying something about his mom, but just then, some couple came, and my attention went to them. " She said, and I nodded with disappointment. " Oh, that means Viren knows him well. Great !! " Mohit said." Thanks a lot, Mohit and Srusti. I am sorry to disturb you once again. But it was very important f

    Sujoy's POV" Why are you so interested in a girl who is involved with someone else? " Sahil asked. " I don't know, I have been trying to find that myself, but can't get her out of my mind. " I said. " Ok, listen bro... We will solve the mystery one by one. Tell me where your dad saw the child? " Sahil asked. " In the park, he recently started going to a new park as the usual one he used to go to is closed for some reason. I think it is getting redesigned. " I replied. " Ok, where is this park? " " About 5 km from our place. All the friends of my parents decided to go there for their laughter club and yoga classes." I told him. " Ok, so one of your leads is that park where uncle saw him, and as we saw him at Mohit's wedding, he must know him. As no one was from Srusti's side except her sister and her husband. So Mohit is another lead. " Sahil said. " Yes, I already gave his picture to a private investigator and told him to look for him in the park. " I told him. " You have

    Sujoy's POV It was not possible... He was mini-me. It seemed as if I was looking at a video of my childhood. He was me... I mean, I mean... I didn't know what to say. He looked exactly like I used to look when I was his age.It would be an understatement to say that I was shocked. I was rooted to the floor. My jaw touched the ground, and I could not even blink or breathe. Who was he?? He looked absolutely like me... Was he my s...? No !!But he looks exactly like me. Where was his mother?? I was still standing there in shock when he said, " Sorry, uncle !! " And ran away before I could stop him. I turned to see in the direction he had gone, but I could not see him. Did I really see him, or was he a result of my imagination as he vanished before I could react? What the hell?? I was looking for this child?? He was the answer to all the questions. He was here at the wedding. I had to find out everything about him. " Sujoy!! " Sahil was shaking me. " Hanh !! " " What happ

    Sujoy's POV" Sujoy!! How are you, man?? And where were you lost just now?? I have been waving at you for the last two minutes. " I heard Sahil's voice and that he was standing there with his lovely wife, Manyata. I smiled at them. " Oh, hi Sahil !! Sorry, I was preoccupied. Hello, Manyata!! How are you?? You are looking very pretty. Are you sure you don't have a twin sister? If you had, I would have married her. I wish I had met you before you met this stupid man... " I said, trying to behave as I usually do. She just smiled and shook her head while Sahil glared at me. " Control the playboy in you, Sujoy... Or you will have a punch from me. Don't forget, she is mine. " He said, snaking an arm around her waist and pulling her to himself. " What?? I am just saying if she had a twin sister... " I teased again. " Well, she has no sister, neither twin nor normal. And this one is out of reach for you... Find someone else. " He said with a smile. Idiot!! President of the Over po

    Sujoy's POV " Boyfriend??? " I looked at her, and she looked a bit uncomfortable at that,, but didn't say anything. " Yeah!! I hope you understand that I don't want to leave my girl alone with some other man." He said with a winning smile. I looked at Sneha, but she didn't say anything. She didn't deny that he was her boyfriend... Then who was the one at her place?? " I am here to talk about a business proposal. Please keep your personal relationship to yourselves. I am not interested in them. Can you please leave now?? " I said with a straight face. " Fine, sir! Bye Jaan, come soon, I am waiting for you. You know, I can't eat without you, Love you. " He said and smiled at her. She just smiled a bit; he went away to the kitchen. I was feeling very bad all of a sudden. So I just told her which dishes I wanted and what quantity. I just asked the manager to get the bill for all the food I had eaten to date and came out. He was her boyfriend?? I was already very upset, and now I

    Sujoy's POVShe was decorating some cakes and a lock of her hair seemed to have escaped her neat hairdo and fell on her cheek. She was getting distracted because of it. I had the urge to tuck it behind her ear. I was still fantasizing about it when Neel did that. What the hell!! How dare he?? Sneha looked at him with surprise while Neel was ogling her and smiled. I walked into the kitchen and the moment he looked at me, his smile dropped. " Sir, please you are not supposed to come inside. " He came towards me and said. " I don't need your permission for anything, I have permission from the owner of this place. So please mind your own business. " I said rudely. " Sir, I am minding my own business only. I guess you come here for the business, and I handle all the major orders here." He said showing his authority to me. " Maybe, chef... But not my order!! My sister and I are die-hard fans of Chef Sneha's cooking. So, I made it clear to the owner that I wanted her to deal with

    Sujoy's POV " Mind it, if he is your child, we want him to live with us. And for that, even if you have to marry his mom, you will." He gave me the ultimatum. " I will not marry her... I want to get married to someone else. " I also told him my decision. " I don't care what you want, if he is your son, I will not let him stay away from us. We have a right over him. " Dad said firmly. " We will see, but how will we find out about him?? Do you have his picture?" I asked him. " Go home, take out old albums, select any close-up picture of yours when you were 5 or 6. That can easily be passed as his photograph. " He said with confidence. " This much similarity? " I was shocked as hell. " Yes, he is your Xerox copy. " He replied. " He is 5-6 years old?? " I asked. " Hmm... Does that ring a bell?" He asked with hope in his eyes. " No, Dad! I am sure that he has nothing to do with me. The resemblance is purely coincidental. " I was sure about it. " And I am sure, he is yours

    Sujoy's POV"Now tell me which of these things you want?" She asked me. "All of them. You can make them alternatively at your convenience. I have full faith in you. After today's lunch, we will chalk out the exact menu." I said with a smile. For a change, she smiled as well. " Sure! " She said. " You can give me a tentative idea of a week's menu. We need one lunch pack and one tea time pack for my employees, daily. We want some extra snacks, bakery items like cookies, pastries, sandwiches, burgers etc in the cafeteria so if the workers want to buy something they can. " I told her. " Definitely, sir. " She nodded. Just then, my phone started buzzing. I looked at the screen, and my dad was calling. " Excuse me, I need to take this call. " I said, and she nodded. " Hello, Dad! " " Sujoy, come and meet me immediately. It is very important. Don't be late. " Dad seemed to be angry." What happened, dad?? Please relax!! Calm down !! I am coming ." I said. " Relax?? I am goin

    Sujoy's POV Just a few minutes back, she was taking care of me... What happened now?? " I prefer you... " " Mr Khanna !! " She almost yelled and glared at me. " ...To eat with me. I already told you, I can't eat alone. " I rephrased again. " But that is your problem... I am very busy at this hour, and as it is, I am not bound to have a meal with anyone. " She said bluntly. " Yeah, that is my problem... I am very hungry right now, but since I can't eat alone and can't even try eating with my own hands ... I think I'd better leave. Please charge all this to my account, and please get the cake packed, which my sister orders every day. " I said and started going towards the door. " Mr Khanna, wait !! Sir... Please have breakfast. " She looked shocked. " No, thanks... I don't want to eat it." I said. " But... I have been working on it for the last hour. " She said. " So, can't you take out a few more minutes and help me?? " I retorted. " You are asking for too much... My pa
