***************************************

Kuch kahaniyon ka aagaz jitna khoobsurat hota hain,

Unka Anjaam utna hi bhayanak hota h.

All were sitting in the grand hall of Rathore's palace. Today the Raghuvanshi ' s are going back to Udaipur. They all were chit chatting and discussing about the upcoming and the biggest wedding going to happen in their families when they saw Veduu coming with her luggage. All of them stood abruptly.

" Baisa Hukum aap kahi jaa rahi hain kya? Ye luggage??" Rekha maa sa asked.

"Mumma sa vo ab functions vagera khatam hogaye to ab kaam ka samay hain aur hum jis vajah se aaye the vo bhi to start karna Hain. Kl se humare project ke liye kaam start hone wala Hain. Humari team aaj raat London se aajayegi phir set up bhi start hojayega aur hum apna head office Jaipur me shift kar rahe hain isliye vaha shift ho rahe hain." Vedu explained briefly although everyone knew that she will shift soon but this soon . It amused the Raghuvanshi ' s a bit but they shrugged of thinking that she might be very excited about her dream project.

But the Rathore's knew the reality that it's not at all easy for Vaidehi to live here.

" Ohh yes After all we are working on the same project so I think I will also shift there tomorrow." Ekansh said to which Arpita and Rekha smiled.

" Why not you both guys live together? " Said Devika excitedly.

All eyes turned towards her and she gulped nervously.

" She means to say that why not they live in same place. Like this they can also get to know each other, can spend some time for each other otherwise they both will not take their eyes away from their work and we will also be carefree that they both will take care of each other." Rekha maa sa said elaborating what Devika said. All nodded their heads happily except two person. One glared at her mother stunned to live with anyone and other was amused thinking about living with her.

" Baisa Hukum, Aap aur Hukum sa humare Jaipur wale bungalow mein rahenge." Said Vedu ' s Dado sa.

Vedu who was walking ahead with her luggage stopped on her steps. She couldn't think anything. All the Rathore's were looking at Dado sa amused that how could he think of sending her there but they were relieved that atleast he didn't say her to live in Raj Bhawan of Jaipur.

Vedu was again in the past. In that one minute she lived all those memories that were her life, all those moments when she felt that she is the happiest and the moment when her dreams became true , her fairytale which she lived in that house. She doesn't have the courage to face that again and that too with Ekansh. She can't let him know her atleast not when she is not ready to let him in.

She has planned everything but she didn't planned to let someone specific let inside her home, her sukoon , her aashiyana.

A lone tear escaped her eyes which did go unnoticed by everyone except two person, one who know the reason of her tears but the other was still confused but he didn't pushed the matter further.

Vaidehi nodded without saying anything and went from there to instruct the driver to put her luggage in the car.

Ekansh also nodded and then after bidding bye to the Rathore's they all went and this time Our Vedu and Ekansh are going together. They are directly going to Jaipur, Ekansh's things will be sent directly to Jaipur from Udaipur.

It takes 6 hours max to reach Jaipur from jodhpur.

The drive was so silent. Ekansh wanted to break it.

" Umm...You are comfortable to live with me right. I mean in a same house. If you are not then I..i can talk to Dado sa...I mean although I don't mind sharing it, I mean we have to share a room in the upcoming months so maybe we can get habitual to each other but if you don't want them..then there is no problem ..... Shit" He rambled and murmured at last.

He was never this nervous talking to someone.

Vaidehi stared at him amused but then a small very tiny mini smile formed on her lips but soon it vainshed, she turned her face towards the window. But Ekansh had already noticed the movement of her lips.

" Chalo Kam se Kam aapke chehre par choti si hi sahi muskaan to aayi humari vajah se." Ekansh said with a small but cute smile on his face.

"Aapki vajah se nahi aapki nervousness ki vajah se." Vaidehi said.

" To ab jab humein aur aapko ek saath rahna hain aur kaam karna hain to kyu na ek dusre ke baare mein jaan le." Ekansh said a bit hesitant.

"So what do you want? Wanna play 20 questions." Vaidehi said with a pinch of irritation.

"Well I don't think that playing 20 questions we can get to know each other but offcourse if we try to get comfortable and be open with each other, it will be beneficial for us." Ekansh said smiling

" Well that will happen with the span of time but right now I want to clear some things." Vaidehi said in a monotone.

" As in rules, so there will be rules for us to live together. Good going." Ekansh said teasing her.

"Well yes, there will be some boundaries which we can not cross. first thing, In office we will behave professionally although I know you are a very professional person but still I don't want you mandel in my matter until or unless I say so. Second thing ; we can't express or introduce each other as our fiance to anyone in public because there are some reasons that I would tell you with time and Dekhiye humne aapse pehle bhi kaha tha that there are things which you still don't know." Vaidehi elaborated.

" Okay." Although Ekansh felt hurt but he knew that she is not like other girls. She is twisted and there are things hidden from him.

" Now can we please play 20 questions or else I will be hella bored." Ekansh whined like a child.

" Aap sirf humare saamne aise react karte hain ya humesha hi yuu bacche ki tarah rahte hain." Vaidehi said looking at her child like whining.

" Ye toh hum bhi nahi jante ki hum itne kam time mein aapke saath aise itne free kaise hogaye . Shayad rishta hi aisa hi. I never had a girlfriend or a female friend that close because honestly speaking I always wanted everything with my wife. I wanted her to become my bestfriend, my support system, my confined, my life partner, my everything. I wanted to be myself only with her, I wanted a relationship where I can behave like a child with her, I can become moody, grumpy, stupid, naughty, possessive, protective, attention seeker with her for her and she would handle me like a pro.
She would be irritated with me sometime but won't leave me ever. She would love the real me, not my money or looks. I always wanted to be like that, to have that relationship with my wife my life partner and now I am going to have that with you. You will be that person for me. However you react or become aloof with me but now you can't not stay away from me." Ekansh said which made Vaidehi guilty. Vaidehi knew that she can't give that relationship to him. With her he will face only problems . Their path is full of thorns but she will try to protect him from these.

Vaidehi nodded at him without replying anything as many things were going in his mind but she kept them aside.

" Accha abhi yaha ek Restaurant hain vaha ruk kar lunch kar lete hain then we will drive again." Ekansh said and then they stopped after 15 minutes of driving at a restaurant.

They were currently in the restaurant , the manager came and greeted them personally and escorted them to the private cabin , The waiter come to take their order.

"I would like to have only Chole Chawal with a glass of lassi" Vaidehi said.

"I would like Normal Butter naan with mix acchar, papad and offcourse Gatte ki sabzi." Ekansh ordered . The waiter left.

" You know gatte ki sabzi is my favourite, I can eat it anytime if I could." Ekansh told her excitedly.

" "Kya aap har baar gatte ki sabzi banvate ho, pata nahi kaise kha lete ho aap log roj roj." Vaidehi said to which the other person smiled and said :-

" Simple because It's my favourite and I can eat it anytime of the day." To which Vedu shooked her head."

Vaidehi come back from the memory lane when Ekansh snapped his fingers infront of her.

" So jab tak khana nahi aajata let's play 20 questions." Ekansh again expressed his feeling to know about her.

" Okay so start although it's so cliched" Vaidehi said.

" Okay so we will do rapid fire. Favourite place."

"Rajasthan."

"Fav food"

" Italian."

"Fav sport."

"Horse riding." He was amused with her answer.

"Fav song."

"I don't listen any."

Ekansh scrunched his eyebrows in amusement but then continued asking.

"Fav thing you ever had."

"Umm...not one but a whole collection of my cars ." Ekansh was again shocked at her answer.

"Fav movie."

"I don't watch movies quite often."

"Fav hobby"

"Cooking or reading."

" Umm your dream."

" Make my dream project successful."

"Reason to live."

"......" by the time the waiter came with their food. Ekansh forgot about the question.

They completed their lunch in silence and soon left for Jaipur. This time Vaidehi was driving. Ekansh again started the conversation.

"We talked about the deal and partnership and budget but we didn't actually discussed your plan about this new project. What you have thought about it. Till now we have only talked on shifting your head office here, your work, your policies but not the actual plan."

" Okay so I will explain it ruffly and then show you the bar and presentations later , as you know that we are a designing company and now my motive is too promote our Indian and precisely Rajasthani culture all over the world and also want to help our small scale industries to grow. I want our home designers to work with us this will benificial for both of us and the unemployed population would get work.
Nowadays mostly the designing companies take educated and high qualified designers who are well furnished and well educated but what about the people which have talent but not the exposure and not the platform and guide.
We will guide them. We won't hire our designers on the basis of their education field or family background or how affluently they can talk. We would hire our designers who have talent but they can't follow it due to family problems, education background or society mostly the women population which due to many reasons can't follow their passion.We would guide them , promote them, motivate them and try to help them follow their passion. The unemployed population would get job and we will get talented designers on low wages compared to the highly furnished and established companies or brands." Vaidehi completed explaining her idea, it was the only the time that there was a shine in her eyes, a peaceful look at her face. Ekansh by now knew that the only thing Vaidehi was passionate about is her work and she is fabulous at it. The idea she proposed was very amazing and he has never came across to someone with a mindset like her. It is as if she has planned everything, the pros and cons, how she will execute, the results everything and she knew that she won't fail.

The talked a bit more and by the time they reached their bungalow which was situated at the Countryside of the city. It was very peaceful and quiet here far from the Chaos of city.

Vaidehi parked the car at the parking inside the house and that was the time when it hit. The memories, her memories, their memories her beautiful moments but she can't show it, she can't risk it infront of him.

Although it was not a small house It was a luxurious Mansion. But it still had a familiar touch, a homely fragrance.

They both were greeted by the head of house helpers. She was an elderly lady. She greeted them and then they entered inside. Vaidehi was espectical about living there with Ekansh. As it was almost night time all the house helpers were gone except their head after showing them their rooms and settling the dinner on the table she also went to her house. The maid will do dishes in the morning Vaidehi freshen up and come down to see Ekansh working on his laptop.

They had their dinner after serving themselves .

"Hukum sa humein aapse kuch baat karni hain." Vaidehi said.

" Ekansh , aap Humein Ekansh kah sakti hain . " He said a bit annoyed because of her calling him"Hukum sa" . She nodded and continued further.

"Subah Vidya kaki aapko house tour de dengi par hum chahte hain ki aap kuch jagaho se dur rahein. Upar se left second corridor mein jana allowed nahi hain. Aur aap please use follow karein." She said and he nodded after that they went to their rooms and soon sleep consumed them due to the journey.

NEXT MORNING

Vaidehi came out of her room all ready to go when her eyes went to the second corridor.

Her look ✨

She didn't knew when her legs moved towards that direction.she entered the corridor and her eyes went to painting hanging on the last corner wall of the corridor. Her eyes became teary. In the painting a girl was standing in the middle surrounded by 3 girls and 3 boys , their hands on their shoulders and they were laughing at each other, it was a candid click which they got painted. They all were looking so happy and really happy. Vaidehi was going to move ahead when a voice called her from her stance.

She came down to come face to face with the view of Ekansh standing there with an apron on himself and beautiful looking pancakes on the table which were served quite fancy but they were looking tempting.

"Socha Naye Safar ki shuruaat meethe se ki jaaye and Maa sa says that nothing is better than my handmade pancakes so I thought to get it tested genuinely from you." Ekansh said quite enthusiastically.

Vaidehi nodded and they both sat on the chairs to have their breakfast. Ekansh was looking expectedly at her. Vedu opened her Mouth to say something when her phone rung. Her eyes got wide seeing the caller id. She excused herself from there to take the call and come back after a minute with her purse and left from there without even saying anything while Ekansh ' s eyes lost their charm. He was disappointed that she didn't even said him sorry or informed him . Here he was waiting for her reaction and she didn't even noticed. The head cook Vidya kaki was looking at seen from a far.she felt very bad for their Hukum sa but she knew that it's not their Vedu baisa which she once used to be, she knew the reason for her coldness and avoidance but can't say.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the other side, on call,

Vedu:- How dare he tried to betray me? He is going to pay for it , really bad. Sanju firstly get that goddamn picture out from them and yes remember that your identity should not be revealed. If it's possible then try to hide about your family too.
She was talking to Sanju while driving car towards her warehouse.

Sanju:- I will do that but are you coming here?

Vedu:- Yess ! offcourse I am coming. I have to tell him that he had messed with the wrong person and yes did you get the details which I asked?

Sanju:- I got them. He is coming after a month till then you have to set everything accordingly to the plan. I have talked with Nanu and Nani, although they are bit tensed and upset that you didn't talk with them but they know so they agreed. And one more thing..........Archana aunty called.

The line went silent for a minute but then Vedu hang up.Vedu hold the steering wheel tightly that her knuckles got white. She calmed herself down and again gained her composure.

It's time for the show.
