The guard of the mansion was cursing his fate that day rather unceremoniously. He was always free without any job by doing this job, because the house had the best security systems employed and there was no owner to question him about sleeping during duty hours. But today before the sun rises he was rudely shaken out of his deep slumber by a man clad in a three piece extravagant suit, the same man who appointed him as the mansion’s guard.

He was the man who is supposed to be the manager of the delhi branch of the owner’s company. The man went inside informing him of the workers coming to clean the house as the owner is going to stay there for few days. The guard could see the man was extremely careful in decorating the house keeping it simple yet elegant and he was nervous like hell. He came to the conclusion that the owner must be a man who is authoritative, strict and smart may be as old as he is. He was excitedly saying all this to his ‘beti’ as after a long boring time he can at last ‘actually’ do his duty. She as usual was calm composed and smiling slightly while listening to him. It was their morning ritual to speak to each other every day when she sets out to jog sharp at six, reaches him within ten minutes and spends time with him till seven thirty.

It takes her a good one hour to get ready for her office which is right below her penthouse where she lives. But this time they have an intruder, a car stops right in front of them. A man peeks out of the glass and the eyes of the girl shines with a realisation that she easily masks from everybody else. Later when another man gets out of the car and introduces himself as the owner’s friend and the guy in the car as the owner the old guard wordlessly opens the gate and lets the car in. The other guy enquires about the girl clad in simple hoodie and track suit next to the guard who proudly introduces her as his ‘beti’. The girl gives the guard a smile, bids him bye and disappears from the place.

Inside the house SANSKAR MAHESHWARI is wondering about the hooded yet familiar girl he saw at his gate about whom he got to know from Vivek as the guard’s daughter. Once he realises the direction of his thoughts which is always under his control except today. He shook to clear his fogged brain and started getting ready for the day. He recalled the events that took place from yesterday night or should it be night in London. After hearing India he was sure he won’t be able to sleep so he called Vivek and flew here at 03:00 am (in Indian time) and landed on India ground at nearly 07:30 am. Poor Vivek was sleep deprived because of arranging a late night flight though it was his charter. He had let him sleep in the bedroom in the flight. And now he is getting ready to attend the meeting where he is going to explain the project details to the people who are going to compete to become his partner in the concerned project. He looked into the mirror with a terrifying smirk thinking “let’s see what entertainment you’ve got for me today god”.

On the other hand SWARA RAJVANSHI was expecting an interesting encounter with SANSKAR MAHESHWARI after the accidental morning encounter with him during her jog. She had seen him when she was speaking or rather listening to ‘kaka’ who was proudly introducing her as his ‘beti’. She smiled softly at the memory. She knew he noticed her by the way he lowered his glasses slightly which you would miss to notice if are not looking carefully. She was sure he would be thinking her as his guard’s daughter. She didn’t attempt to clear the misunderstanding as she was simply intrigued by the way this was going. She had a glint in her eyes which made her look beautifully dangerous. She started playing with the paper weight in the table while murmuring in a voice which was filled with excitement and child like glee and something else which she never used for others “why do I feel our next encounter is going to be hilarious”
