Falling For You

Chapter 1

Kyra

I was woken up by my usual alarm, my sister storming into my room to wake me up at 6 am so that I could get ready for work. I worked at Oberoi Industries as the head of the legal department. I had been working there for the past few years and I had found myself falling in love with the work environment there and the people of course, even though my contract in working with them was ending the next year. 

I got up and looked at my sister who was just back from her morning jog.
I gave her a small smile and git out of the bad kind of sad that my weekend holiday was over. I completed my morning routine and went down fir having breakfast. My father was talking with my mother, practically flirting, which I noticed by looking at my mom who was blushing.

These people are couple goals for real. I wish I can find a guy like him.

I went and sat on my chair and started having the slice of bread which was already kept on my plate. While I was eating, my mother said, "Kyra, actually.... I set you up with my friends son." As soon as I heard this sentence I choked on the bread and started coughing profusely. My father handed me a glass of water and pat my back to calm me down. I said in an astonished tone, "Mom you what? Set me up with your friends son? For what? Marriage or something? Out of nowhere?"

My mom giggled and said, "Of course no idiot. I mean we think you should meet him.", She nudged my father's arms and glared at him who agreed to her statement after seeing her glare. I said, "Why would you even want to set me up with someone right now mom? I agree you are eager to get me married but-" I was cut off with mom saying, "Come on, I'm just asking you to meet him once. It's not much. Just once?" I gave up and sighed, "Okay mom. Only once." SHe did a little victory dance, while I laughed off and went out to go to work.

I went to the café near my office to get a coffee for myself. I was waiting for the worker to call me so I could collect the coffee, when a man dressed in black suit walked into the café. He had bluish brown eyes, which were like ocean and I got lost into them. His face had a sharp jawline and was chiseled. They looked familiar. but I couldn't recollect from where. We stared into each others eyes and held eye contact for 2 minutes, but I was interrupted by the café worker who was calling my name for the past few minutes. I was embarrassed so I quickly got up and took my coffee and left for work. 

I got into the lift, when and hand came in between the doors which made the almost closed door open once again. Two guys entered the lift. I noticed one of them was the guy with the bluish eyes, who I held eye contact with. The other guy was looking similar to him, wile he wore a grey suit. I gave them a soft smile as a kind gesture and extended my hand to click on my  department floor, but at the same time, the guy int he black suit extended his hand and our hands touched. As soon as they touched, I felt sparks all over my body. I looked at him and got lost into his ocean like eyes again. After what felt like a few minutes, but actually 10 seconds, I awkwardly looked away and went out without looking back once.

I got into my cabin and released a sigh. I told my assistant to tell our team that we would be having a meeting in a few minutes and started gathering the details. I was about to leave my cabin and go to the conference room, but my assistant came inside and told me that the CEO was coming on a round to introduce the New CEO's.
I went outside to see Mr. Oberoi aka my Obi uncle, who is also one of my dad's best friend. The two extremely handsome men were the sane men who I had seen in the lift, standing besides him.

He smiled at my team and me and then said," Helllo! This is Aayushman Oberoi," he pointed at the man in the black suit "and he is Abhimanyu Oberoi", he pointed at the man in grey suit and continued," The New CEO's of this company. I hope you can get along." He then introduced me, as the head of the legal department and I shook hands with the both of them. I knew he had two sons but I had never met them.

After they went I went to the conference room with my file and plopped on one of the chairs. My team which consisted of Anaya, Chris, Kimaya and Yash came in. We discussed about the project and then left once we were done. I went back to my cabin and sat there reading my files. I was interrupted by a call, which was from none other then my best Friend Elena. She Screamed into my ear that it almost made me deaf," I'M GETTING MARRIED!!!!!"

I knew she and Aarav(my best friend) were dating for the past 4 years so it was no surprise that they would end up getting married before me. I was so happy for both of them. I congratulated them and got back to work. I got out of work at about 8, which was later than the usual time, but it's normal for me to work late as our legal team was small yet strong.

I went home to see Oberoi uncle, his wife along with his sons sitting on the sofa. "Hello uncle and Aunt", I said to them and hugged them lightly. They both giggled and said hello to me. I told them I would be back after freshening up. I acme down after getting ready in my black jeans and white shirt which was tucked in.

We were having our dinner when my mom said," Kyra when I said I set you up with someone. I wanted you to meet Aayushman." I choked on my food and to my rescue came Aayushman who was coincidently sitting besides me and handed me a glass of water to which i said a small thank you. I thought for a minute and said," Umm...okay I will think about it."

Aayushman

Today morning I woke up early and went on my jog. From today Abhi and I are going to take over the company. Honestly I was excited. I came back got ready and had my food and dashed to the office. Growing up and visiting the office frequently, it bad been my dream to own this amazing company which my father set up. I saw Abhi in a grey suit which suit him perfectly. .

We talked about random things and left for the office. On our way, we decided to get some coffee from the café near the office, so I got out and got us some. In the café, I saw a girl who had hazel eyes. She was stunning, Her brown locks left open and her eyes were something that were attracting me to her. She was wearing a black formal skirt and a cream color shirt. Her eyes looked familiar, but I couldn't understand what was going on. I looked away to pay for the coffee and turned to look back at her, but she was gone from her place. 

We went inside the building and waited for our father to arrive as he was running a little late. HIs assistant told us to wait in his cabin till he arrived. When we entered the lift, I saw a girl who I had seen in the café. I extended my hand to press the last floor, but then she extended her hand at the same time to press her floor and our hands touched. Her touch was warm and grew sparks all over my body. I got lost in her honey like hazel eyes. I looked back in a few seconds, but got embarrassed and scrolled on my phone for emails.

The weird atmosphere in the lift didn't go unnoticed by my twin brother. He smirked at me and said," You like her don't you?" I practically screamed at him, "What? No! I don't even know her. But she looks pretty and her eyes are soemthing." I said and looked away trying to not look at his teasing self.

During the day I got introduced to everyone department head and their teams. I learnt that her name was Kyra Malhotra and she was the head of the legal department. We were having lunch when Abhi said to dad," Dad, Aayu likes someone." Dad looked at me with a shocked look and said, "Is it true?". I replied," I don't know but I think I like her." He said," Who is it? do I know her?" I nodded yes and said," It is Kyra Malhotra, the head of the legal department." He laughed and said, "okay." "Dad, literally a okay? THE AAYUSHMAN OBEROI LIKES SOMEONE!!! WE NEED TO CELEBRATE." ,Abhi said almost screaming which my father and I ignored.

We went back home when my mom said that we all are going to go for dinner at the Malhotra's. I knew they had two daughters but never met them as I was abroad for education. We went there and were talking while waiting for their elder daughter to get back from work.
Soon someone came in and greeted my parents. To my shock it was none other than Kyra who is the head of the legal department. I was shocked that she just came back from work.

She went upstairs to freshen up so I asked dad," Didn't the office disperse at 5:30? Isn't it like 8 now?" He replied," Well, the legal department works for 3 extra hours every alternate day. There aren't many employees there but whoever we have are strong. So she came late." We were having dinner when Kyra's mom said that she and my mother wanted to set up Kyra and me. I internally grinned and waited for her reply. She replied that she will think about it when I said confidently," I'm okay with it. I'm not seeing anyone so I don't mind trying to make this work."

She gave a soft smile and said," I'm okay with it too then." Everyone cheered for us and ordered for some ice cream to celebrate it.
