There was the therapeutic smell of medicine in the air mixed with some fragrance of sandalwood incense sticks placed in the small temple of hospital......Ekshita was working late that day because there were many patient.......

Ekshita was just going to have dinner early that day as she didn't had lunch due to long shift..... but then suddenly she heard siren of ambulance....everyone started running here and there because some rich businessman was injured due to serious accident ......there was havoc everywhere.....

 She also ran to the patient to check him and told the nurse to quickly bring a stretcher for the patient..... 

 When she reached there and saw the patient,, she was just startled, her heart just stopped beating... her whole body was freezed , she was just standing there like a corpse and watching everything..... For a moment, she thought that she'll just faint.... she didn't knew what to do or how to respond......It was him ...the same person who once broke her heart into pieces, she was seeing him after 10 years and that too in this condition......

Ekshita was just standing there and then she just moved towards him and went to him... he was covered in blood ....His white shirt had completely turned red due to the immense bleeding .... His condition was very critical..... they took him to the ICU and started operating him, due to extreme blood loss, his condition was very serious..... they had no idea whether he'll survive or not.....

At that moment , Ekshita was just confused whether she was affected by him or not ....Her heart was beating extremely fast like a damn F1 car.... even though she was completely shattered seeing him like this but somewhere she knew that he still don't care about her.... she just hated the fact that she still cared about him so much like he is her everything,, but then she just consoled herself and told herself that he is just like every other patient whom she needs to treat, nothing more than that....

After the operation,, they needed to keep him under observation for 24 hours as he was still unconscious ..... but yet there was no family member of him....

 Then the hospital staff somehow managed to inform his cousin Ayansh Singh Oberoi.. he was just like Reyansh, cold hearted and insensitive but the difference was only that he didn't played with anybody's feelings..... 

Ayansh rushed to the hospital with their family... everybody was extremely worried...but then doctors informed them that he is out of danger ... but yet he was unconscious.....

He was lying unconscious on the bed and Ekshita was sitting beside him on the couch looking at him like he is her everything ....after sometime she just started crying relentlessly as all those memories just snapped in front of her eyes.... but she knew that he doesn't deserve all this.....

 Soon she was half aslept but then she suddenly heard a voice ... he was finally awake .... she checked upon him and everything was normal..... he was just looking at her like he don't know her...... 

Then she went out of the room and called his family... she was also relieved that he was finally conscious....... Then she just went to her home as she didn't wanted to face him at that moment.....

The next day , Ekshita went to the hospital... she took the round and checked on all patients and then there was his room , she didn't knew whether she should go there or not ...but then she gathered up all  her courage and went inside his room .... he was awake and Ayansh was also there with him.....  she told him that she needs to check him .... he was completely shocked and was looking at her

 Then Ayansh reminded him that "she is Dr. Ekshita Rathore,, a Neurosurgeon who had operated you and gave you a new life".... and then Ayansh walked out of the room for some important work...

Now, it was only Ekshita and Reyansh, she asked Reyansh.... "How is he feeling now??"... He said he is better than before and asked "don't you remember me, babygirl ??   

Ekshita was astonished by his words .... she thought that he is still the same old guy who just knows to flirt..... Then she replied that "ofcourse, I'd remember you ...That's why I hate you na...."

"You hate me and still you saved my life ?"  ....Reyansh asked...

Because it was my duty, nothing more than that.....she replied and just left from the room.....

she was devasted..... she didn't knew what to do.... her mind was telling something else and her heart was telling something else.......she wanted to hug him,, cry in his arms and tell him what he is to her but she just can't .....her only mistake was that she'd fallen for someone who'll never love her......and the worst of all he was the same guy whom her bestfriend also loved...... 

Each day she face him and acts like she hates him....... but yet everyday she looks at him with the eyes full of love and care which she hides......and he just continued flirting with every other doctor and nurse in the hospital....

Gradually time passed away and Reyansh was completely recovered and it was his last day at the hospital.... She went to check him for the last time ......he was in his room laughing with his friends ...she started checking him...

While checking him, she was thinking that it is the last time when she is this close to him, its the last time when she is sitting beside him, its the last time when she is seeing him smiling and laughing , its the last time when she is listening his voice......

 She just wanted to be loved by him but unfortunately , he never loved her and then she started hating all this , all this 10 years she acted so strong like she hates him and everything but now when he is in front of her , she is just weak again...

Then suddenly a tear fell down from her eyes on his hand , he looked at her surprisingly and asked her Why is she crying ?....

and she told him that it was just some dust due to which she is crying and she just went out of the room.....

He also got discharged from the hospital and left for his home......

After that she continued her work and her regular schedule........

After few months.......Now , it was the month of october and diwali was coming .... and Ekshita had to go to her hometown ..... Even though she hated being there because she knew that her parents will only force her to get married and get settle in life.....

She went to her home ...it was a luxurious mansion... she went to her room kept all her things and then immediately went to her parent's room .... her father was standing near the window,,, he was very strict, he was a powerful businessman who loved her daughter but he always wanted that she acts like how they want her to but she was never like that....

She went to him and asked him "How are you ?"... and he replied he is good.... then her mother just interrupted them and asked her whether she is seeing someone or not...?? 

Frustratedly she replied.. don't start it again maa.... please ... I'm not seeing anyone neither I want to see anyone..... Right now, I just want to focus on my career..... and she just left the room

Next day.. the mansion was embellished with flowers, light and other things...... she went to the kitchen and asked her mother that why is all this happening ??

Her mother replied that some clients are coming for important business deal......

It was evening and now Ekshita was out with her best friend Ishani and Ahana.... they all were just chilling and enjoying at Ahana's house.......

Here at Ekshita's home Mr. Kritansh singh oberoi , none other than Reyansh's father had come to sign off a business deal ......They were just talking and then they started talking about their children..... 

After knowing everything about Reyansh , Ekshita's father was impressed with him and he thought that he is a good match for Ekshita who can handle her tantrums and anger issues but he wasn't aware about the reality.....and Reyansh's father was also liked Ekshita .....

Both Reyansh's and Ekshita's father knew that they are the best business partner and best company for each other right now...if they'll work together, then they'll become the most powerful in the business industry.....

Mr. Kritansh Singh Oberoi knew that if he lost this deal.....then it'll be a big loss and he didn't wanted it to happen...he thought that if he marries his son to Ekshita.... Then he can easily make Mr. Sarthak Rathore  [ Ekshita's father ] to do anything that he wants.....

So, Reyansh's father proposed a condition that along with the business partners.....they'll become relatives also by marrying their children to each other......

Ekshita's father was surprised... he said that they don't even know each other now and it is too early....but Ekshita's mother was happy because she just wanted to see her daughter happily settled in her life....

Mr. Kritansh assured him that Reyansh will be the best match for Ekshita and they'll not marry each other now ..we'll just sign the contract and after that they can know each other ....and Ekshita's mother also made him understand that it is the best decision...

Finally after lots of discussion.... Ekshita's father agreed to the proposal.....and they signed the business deal as well as the marriage contract

According to the contract, they'll do every business deal with each other and their children can now only get married to each other .....and if any of them breaks the deal ,they'll be behind bars for more than 10 years.....

When Mr. Kritansh told his wife about the deal she was also happy as she already knew that Ekshita was the one who saved his son's life....and she'd seen her taking care of Reyansh.....

Both of their families were very happy.....but Reyansh and Ekshita had no idea that a storm is coming in their life which will either bring a lot of happiness or just destruction....?
