The Media Circle-Scene 1

“So here we are at Shankar Dobriyal’s place which seems different from last time. It now is decorated with purple lilies and white orchids. And amidst of this we see Mr. Prasant Dobriyal standing in between of dais announcing his new business ventures. The house is filled with people raising a toast in favour of Dobriyals”

Meanwhile in room he was getting ready, today was a special day. He wore his favourite cream silk shirt and grey jeans when his hands landed into a black turtleneck sweater reviewing the memories of that day…..

“Why can’t we be together?”Shankar asked firmly.

“Because I don’t like you and pls will you excuse me” said Priyashi and hurriedly left from there.

The guy was Shankar, The Shankar Dobriyal, very dashing and suave entrepreneur, his father was Prasant Dobriyal a famous industrialist and it was very known fact that Shankar took his business to new heights and he learnt one thing from Shankar that he was manipulative and cold blooded business tycoon. He owned one of biggest jewel brands Dobriyals’. She was Priyashi Kelkar, princess of Mr. Vikas Kelkar, partner with Prashant and so he was the back bone of business yet independent as he ran his exclusive gem designing boutique, Priyali in name of his late wife and now seen by Priyashi, who rose it such heights that now her appointment book was always full. Prasant and Vikas were very good friends and she knew how romantic Vikas was to his wife. The intensity of that loved was something she feared. Shankar was a love child of Prasant and he doesn’t even remember his mother’s name so with Shankar, but his whole life revolved around him. In return Shankar also was there with equal devour and never considered anybody other than him.   

While seeing her uncomfortably twitching her juice glass, Shankar remembered the first they met on her take-over party; she took over her father’s business as Head Designer and their first interaction.…

“Will you stop staring at me, Mr. Shankar?”

"So you know who I am. How flattering."

"Who doesn't know the biggest playboy in town?"

"You shouldn't believe everything you read in the media circle."

"Maybe you should stop doing things that end up as fodder for the media circle."

"Maybe I will, now that I have met you."

It was first of many of the meetings they had in the common parties and they became attraction for media circle where everybody was interested to know what’s going in between the biggies of the industry. This was one of these parties where they came to contact due to common acquaintances.

The other part to the st0ry was both set of father knew what’s going on but never interfered. One clearly because they are adult and have right to decide their own decisions, secondly because they believed that he is the best match for her.  

She undoubtedly felt a pull towards him but was scared of many reasons. She had seen the intensity of his feelings in his eyes and her beauty which she inherited from her mother was always under constant teasing in the business circles she had feeling that either it will lead him towards being an insufferable ass and being angry at everybody which is common under his circumstance as he is very passionate angry person or he will always keep her under his wing to remove that hovering eyes and it will only make her loose her identity. Her another fears were regarding his flamboyant nature and she was worried about the fact she may fall in love with him but he will be her till he is interested in her and then she will be heartbroken and she can’t tolerate this from the first guy she ever felt infatuated.
