That Meeting

Ajj Shab Jo Chand Ne Hai Roothne Ki Than Li

Gardisho Mein Hai Sitare Baat Humne Maan Li

Andheri Shayh Zindagi Ko Sujhi Thi Nahi Kahin

Ki Ek Aaj Haath Thamlo Ki Ek Haath Ki Kami Khali

“Your regular Mam, Should I pour in the  glass or first you want something else.” Asked the same guy she saw since last 3 years.

Since last three years she drinks till drop dead and then one of the waiters would help her to get into the car which was duely there by one of the drivers of her mother or father. Her parents’ one of the biggest business tycoons of India. But never had time for their only child, Ms. Nayonika Das. She was a famous super model plus was the only heir to Nayonika Fashions, her parents company. She had drowned herself in alcoholism totally to survive. The name Nayonika was related to success and only success. But with that came aloneness which she could not handle. So she drank till she feels drowsy and then she went to empty house. Relationships were never she actually gave try because she was scared from them.

It’s not that she was never approached; she was approached a lot of times from different guys.  When you are dusky beauty with height of 5’ 11”. With the killer figure to die for. She had inherited the typical huge Bengali eyes. She was totally a diva in total. Plus she was the best known model so her face was always there in media.

Many people would think that if she was so lost in the drinks why never tried to take advantage of her but actually she was that one kind of girl whom everybody knew was the forbidden fruit because when you are related to Das empire and too the daughter of them, you are the person whom would you like to stay away from her.  

Kyun Khoye Khoye Chand Ki Firak Mein Talash Mein Udas Hai Dil

Kyun Anpne App Se Khafa Khafa Zara Zara Sa Naraz Hai Dil

“Hey, Vikki something looking different.”  As she entered the bar that day for having her daily dose of vodka. Today she was feeling different as if something is to change. “Yes, this hotel is now bought by Mr. Tejas Vasishtha, the famous hotelier so that’s the reason of hustle today. So regular Mam or something more………..”

“The regular and a plate of paneer tikka” she replied monotonously. As she had her share of drinks and snacks she was thinking how her life was there having everything yet she was alone.

Today she had featured in Times as one of the most influential faces in this decade. It has being 9 years since when she started her career. A thing which was started as hobby and a means to kill time in that huge mansion has now leaded to a situation where she models almost 18 hours a day. 

She felt that in her late 20s she had everything a successful business, a great career yet how alone is she. On that note she decided that she had   enough and she stood to leave but she never reached the parking that night.

Yeh Manzilee Bhi Khud Hi Tai Karein,

Yeh Faslein Bhi Khud Hi Tai Karein,

Kyun To Raston Pe Phir Shem Shem Sambhal Sambhal Le Chalta Hai Yeh Dil

The next day she woke up to find herself in the hotel room correction suite of the hotel she visited for her drinks. She looked around and found that she was in her last dress means she wasn’t being molested but how come she is in the hotel room.

Just then she saw a strong hand passing her a glass of disprin, as she drank the content thirstily. She then looked for her belongings just then she saw the man who helped her the previous night. There stood a man who was around 6’5” in height. Had an athlete body and long hairs tied in a sleek ponytail. He was wearing casual grey jeans that hung low on hips and a t shirt. The man had a little stubble but most intruding factor was his eyes, the colour of caramel, molted caramel over which he wore a rimless specs by look she could clearly guess that he was reading something.

“Thanks for helping me.” She said as she gathered her things from the room and was about to leave when she felt a pull in her hand and she landed in his chest. She was shocked and scared. She was looking fragile doll in front of him, “You are here to stay.” Nayonika got very pissed and said “Mr. Whoever you are. You don’t now to whom you are talking. I said I will leave so I will go. No one has right to stop me. I am………..” He interrupted  her “Mr. Tejas Vasishtha , my name Tejas Vasishtha and I know you are Nayonika Das, the heiress of Nayonika Fashions and the supermodel. But when I hold someone’s hand its forever and nothing less would suffice me.” She is shocked to now the person in front of her was Tejas Vasishtha because he never met anybody and by his success she guessed that he would have  being much older. But he didn’t look more than early 30s. She was really excited as for the first time someone claimed to be with her but she was  angry too as she believed she is not some property that someone can own so she said “Mr. Vasishtha, thanks for being there yesterday but I think your hospitality its more than enough extended. I will leave and that’s final” “If I get you word of your parents that they are fine with you staying with me. Will that be ok” he said tucking a loose strand beside her ears. “And for you it’s Tejas, just Tejas, Nayonika”

He took her to meet her parents in their office and they seemed ok with them, she was shocked because as far she knew her parents they were conservative in their philosophy of live in yet she too this chance.  They were both in the car when she noticed he was wearing perfect black 3 piece suit with silk trousers -coat and satin waistcoat and tie complementing a crisp white shirt and aviators.  His long hairs were gelled to perfect back pony. While had some dresses delivered to his suite which was actually presidential suite, so she was wearing a beautiful floral skirt with a blue blazer and plain cream t shirt .He while returning from their visit from office, he had his stop at her house and allowed her to pick her things and when she had her things packed as she came down, one of the uniformed man came and said “Mam, Ritwik Sir’s PA and now your also, please pass it to me. Sir is waiting for you in BMW while I load your luggage in SUV.” In one day actually one night her life was in different track.

Jee Mein Aata Hai

Murda Sitara Noch Loo

Idhar Bhi Nooch Lo

Udhar Bhi Nooch Lo

Ek Do Ka Zikar Kya

Mein Sare Noooch Lo

She found herself in front a huge modern house with beautiful garden as they descended. Seeing her confused he replied that “I don’t want to keep you in hotel so this small home. Feel home and make it one as this is our new place.”

She saw the whole home was beautiful with large windows and all her luggage was arranged properly in her room which was next to his divided by a glass partition. It was totally white from paint to furniture to linens in home. She was amazed how he arranged everything so shortly then she realised that whom she was joking he was Tejas Vasishtha who came make her parents agreed to this arrangement can do anything. She was lost when she felt him near him saying “I may not be always there but Ritwik and others will make it more than comfortable for your stay. Actually I travel a lot but I will try to stay more with you. I would like to have one of your pictures but not the ones where you pose for them, just spontaneous one.” And he clicked her one pic in that moment in her full length white kurta and her curly flowing through her face. And she is smiling genuinely.  True to his word he tried to stay with her, except living with him, he was very cool about what she did, he never came in between her work but she always found herself with the company of Ritwik or some guard, he was paranoid till the extent of madness about her safety. He also didn’t allowed her to drink again public. Vikki was shifted to mansion and he used to fix her drinks in home only. Though he never stopped her to drink but he never drank himself and after a limit to which she drank he took her to the room and let her sleep. 

During this time only they tried explore each other, for the first time she barred her insecurities and her loneliness in front of anybody. She came to know he was also single child of his parents and they died in a plane crash when he was 14 and now he lives with his Nani. He doesn’t drinks or smokes because he feels that life as more addiction than anything else and he doesn’t like any addiction which loses its effect with time.

Idhar Bhi Nooch Lo

Udhar Bhi Nooch Lo

Sitare Nooc Lo

Mein Sare Nooch Lo

Kyun Tuu Ajj Itna Vaihshi Hai Mizaj Mein Mazazz Hai Aye Gum-E-Dil

She was sitting alone in the window setting, she felt very alone today, it has being more than a week than he had visited her, not that she could blame him as he was very busy with a takeover. Yet she decided to surprise him so she asked Ritwik to get the car ready as she wanted to visit his office alone. She got dressed in a decent peach coloured lace dress with a tight belt on her waist marking the thin waist. She wore a soft fur coat over the dress.

When she arrived at the office, Ritwik had already seen her there so told that he was in conference hall and when she entered there she saw a young girl throwing herself on him and that was enough for her to run away from there.

Later when frustrated Tejas returned his cabin in high tempers due to that clingy girl with whom he had to work because she was the lawyer of other side and saw worried Ritwik informed about the surprise visit of Nayonika, he cursed the timing. He knew that she will not be found in his house or her parents place. Suddenly he realised she once told when she needed to be alone she went a small flat she bought in her college and when he came there he saw her sitting in the edge of balcony ready to fall any moment and an empty liquor bottle proving that  she drank it all and she was crying.

He quietly sat beside and took her in his embrace and she cried whole heartily while hugging him. Seeing her cry he realised that now Nayonika was also in love with him. He just took her in his structure and nested and cradled as some kid and said “I love you and only you. She was and is nothing........” She said in between “I was scared that I am not there anymore where you just belong to me and was worried about that you also like someone else. Tejas I just can’t live that fact.”

She then fainted but they had not realised that destiny decided for both of them.   

Dil Ko Samjhna Keh To Kya Asaan Hai

Dil To Fitrat Se Sun Lo Na Baimaan Hai

Yeh Kush Nahi Hai Jo Mila

Bas Mangta Hi Hai Chala

Next time, he saw her she was trying to change herself. She had signed up for rehabilitation centre. He was shocked to see that she trying to fit in the typical stereotype of perfect partner. From cooking to dusting to managing hose even preparing his stuff

He pulled her and asked the reason. She just said “I want us to last forever.” He was surprised that he is the reason of her changes; he pulled her towards him as he did when they argued for first time “I too want us to be there forever but in the cost of your identity. I have loved Nayonika Das, that Nayonika I helped who was over drunken supermodel the spit fire who made me fought with the moment she regained composure. Not this docile Nayonika. I love you the way you are just as you are there for me for the sense I am.”

With that he slipped a ring in her left ring finger. A ring with a huge sapphire resting in the borders of the diamonds set in platinum. “This is also to stay.” He said as she noticed the sudden weight in her fingers. She blushed and took him to her room where she also took out the box from the locker and pulled out a ring, it was a simple platinum ring with a diamond patch in middle. “I also had it chosen” she said blushingly while putting it in his finger.

“Nayonika you don’t need to change, I love you the way you are but yes I would love the idea of your quitting drinking so I’m also in favour of rehabilitation.” He said as they both settled for celebration. “But I would like to be perfect for you. And I am more than confident that now my drinking is thing of past.” She said.

They both announced their status in press publically with the promise that soon there will be formal engagement and wedding following soon.     

Janta Hai Har Lagi Ka

Dard Hi Hai Bas Ek Sila

Jab Kabhi Yeh Dil Laga

Dard Hi Humne Mila

Dil Ki Har Lagi Ka

Sunlo Dard Hi Ek Sila

She was really scared to meet his Nani but she seemed to be warm person who was very happy that he has finally decided to get married and was also more happy because his Nani and she shared the same ancestry as she was also Bengali, as Nayonika met her first time in simple jeans and t shirt and full sweater.

She was a jolly lady who generally wore typical Bengali sarees with a simple strand of gold beads. And her hairs were generally tied into a plaint and was quite stylish as for right now she was great fan of fishtail but rather preferred a French plaint or Dutch plaint. It was felt by Nayonika that it’s important that Nani likes her as she was to live with her. Nani didn’t had problem from her profession plus she was also cool about what she wears because Nani herself was from army back ground as her parents were arm doctors so she was from liberal back ground but same was not the case with Dadi.

Though Dadi was just like any visitor to their home, only a week in a year because she liked her life more of Vidhwa ashram. She was just anti-thesis of Nani. She wore typical cotton sarees of white colour with no jewellery and her hairs were tied in juda.

She just frowned upon her about everything from her name to her profession to her choice of dress. But Tejas had assured to her earlier that only Nani’s opinion that mattered so she was little relaxed. So she entered her study to see her huge photo hung over there, the same photo he clicked of her, her first photo by him. Just then Ritwik entered and told that all his cabins world over have the same photo. She just wanted to talk to Tejas about that and found him in the room, when asked he just replied taking of his reading glasses as he was busy with his files “The reason is simple I just miss you so much that I couldn’t bear to part from you even for some moments so I decided to have it everywhere I work plus I proves that you are taken and you belong only to me. Don’t you remember I had said you in the suite of the hotel that I hold the hand not to leave and will settle for nothing less, so since then I just wanted the world to know that yes I am the one who has Nayonika Das as his lover.”  

Kyun Naye Naye Se Dard Ki Firak Mein Talash Udas Hai Dil

Kyun Anpne App Se Khafa Khafa Zara Zara Sa Naraz Hai Dil

She was sitting in front of the holy fire in the mandap as he made her wear the mangal sutra, a short single strand black beaded one with a small diamond pendant and filled her maang with sindoor. She was there in a heavy red ghaghara whereas he was there in cream sherwani with indigo and purple safa and gath-joda which was tied to her red chunni. She was hell nervous as she never thought in her life a day like this will also come but seeing Tejas she realised that was the correct decision. If she was meant to be with someone it was him.

Later that night she was standing in the balcony lost in her thoughts. For Tejas she looked more like fairy than anything else in that short silver lace shorts and top. He could sense she is still stunned that they are married so was he.

Tejas told her that the first time he saw her was in one of the mirrors of the reception of the hotel and that was the moment he realised that whatever happens in their lives it was him to meet her and from that moment only his planning has being there from her waking up in his bed to her parents readily agreeing to let her be with him. He does agrees he never thought of her to be so strong willed as she turned out to be , she  in ways reminded him of his late mother who world thought he hated yet the most close  was to his mother that’s the reason he lived with his Nani rather than Dadi after the death of his parents.

Actually his mother was also a working woman and was very successful but both his parents also couldn’t give time at home same as Nayonika and that was the reason he understood her very well from her addiction to her insecurities as he had suffered them 16 years and gradually with his Nani’s love everything just sorted out fine.

He also told that the reason her parents allowed to let them stay together was that he had convinced them that he wanted to marry her but will do that only after he was sure that they both and especially she were happy.

Yeh Manzilee Bhi Khud Hi Tai Karein,

Yeh Faslein Bhi Khud Hi Tai Karein,

Kyun To Raston Pe Phir Shem Shem Sambhal Sambhal Le Chalta Hai Yeh Dil

She woke up and saw the man who entered her life like storm and changed it like whirlpool was right now sleeping peacefully on his stomach. Beside her on side table laid a photo, it was there photo in which he stood back hugging her.  Now also their house was mostly white but was coloured with several of their photos.

It ranged from photos her modelling photos, to his photos in many award ceremonies plus it had many of her photos with Nani as they both found best friends in each other as both were Bengalis so rest you could imagine. But the most were their photos together, he still liked to that photo of hers in all his offices. Just then she felt someone kissing her cheeks lightly and saying “Happy Birthday. What do you want for birthday?”

She just turned to her husband and said “Mr. Tejas Vasishtha I got my present a year ago only when you entered my life and swept me off my feet.”

“Ok, Mrs Nayonika Das Vasishtha but it was me who got you as present.”
