Together Forever

Once Again Into My Life

Adhvik's POV

"What do you mean by 'you are taking her under your wing' ? I can't... And I won't", I reasoned out.

"Oh yes.. You can and you will.. I meant what I meant earlier... You are taking her under your wing, you are going to work with her and teach her all the tactics of business and this is final, Dhvi...", my dad Rahul said, with a finality in tone. He doesn't demand anything from me or my twin sister Adhvita often. He let us do things our way. But, when he demands it's final. So, that means I have to accept my defeat and do as he says.

"But why me dad?! Why can't you take her under your wing and train her?!", I asked with a slumped shoulders.

"Because I promised Varun that she will gain good expertise... And besides you guys were best friends as kids... So it will be more comfortable for you both to work together.. It's just about work Dhvi... I dunno why you are reacting like this!!", my dad countered with a sigh and left my old bedroom in my parents' house.

"Best friends my ass", I muttered under my breath and sighed aloud putting my face in my hands.

If you are thinking that this is a simple matter and I'm overreacting , let me tell you my reasons.

I, Adhvik Rish, 24, son of my lovey-dovey parents Rahul and Sanvitha, is the CEO of Rish and Sanvi group of companies, one of the leading group of companies in the world that specializes in various fields.

Now, let me tell you about this girl that my dad was talking about. Her name is Rika Shrinikith, 23, the daughter of Varun uncle and Pia aunty and also the future CEO of  Shrinikith Corp. I don't know how she is looking now. But as for 6 years ago, she is an Angel without wings, with her piercing brown eyes, dark brown-black hair and all her rightly proportioned features. I can still remember the innocence and the calmness in her angelic face. But, whom am I kidding?! How can I ever forget her?? She was the one who broke heart and because of whom I'm the way I'm now ~~ away from all love and commitment shits.

As you can guess, our relationship dates back to the day she was born. May-3-1992. My Dad is her dad's best friend and so are our moms. So we literally grew up together.

Rakshath, her older brother by 2 years and my twin Adhvita are best friends. So, those two always hang out together and that leaves me and Rika to hangout as kids. As the time passed by, we both become best friends. But little did a 5 year old know that the feeling is more than friendship.

As time flew, my feelings towards Rika grew by loads. So, I decided to limit our meets and talks hoping that, it will stop my infatuation on my childhood friend. So, I started hanging out more with Rakshath and started drifting away from Rika. But boy, I was completely wrong. My crush on Rika did not stop at all. It, in fact, grew by leaps.

When I was 11 years old, Rika moved to Delhi because of her dad's business and stuff. That's the first time I ever cried. But I accepted life as it is and tried to move on. When I reached my adolescent age, I was already the cool dude and jock of the school. Awarded with extreme good looks from both of my parents, I was and I am always surrounded by girls. Even though I can have any girl I want, all I ever wanted was Rika, my brown eyed angel.

To forget about her, I started dating numerous girls. But boy, I was too much in love with Rika that I can't even kiss them. Every time I tried, I got this feeling as if I'm betraying her. But I can't let my feelings continue because I never heard from her all these years. She may be happily committed with someone else. She may not even remember me. These thoughts brought immense pain to my heart and ripped it apart. Yet , I know this is the reality. So, I continued on my mission~~ mission forget Rika. But as always, I cannot succeed. But in the course of time, I became too proud to admit that I loved her to my friends because who would want a love failure at the age of 18 as their friend?!
