Writer's view

As days went by Sharav was continuing to grow overprotective of Akruti. He felt like she was his sister. 'His doll'. Sometimes he would go to her cabin and chat with her. One day he also told her the reason why he was staring at her. 

"I'm so sorry Ms.Arora if you felt so anxious that day. I didn't mean to. Well, you see your eyes look like my sister, so only I was staring at you. I didn't have any other intension, trust me. Can I call you by your first name, only if you like?" said Sharav.

"No. I don't have any issues. But I'm afraid Mr.Je- sorry Mr.Khanna won't like it", She bit her tongue realizing what she was about to say. Sharav laughed at her. 

'She's so naive like her', he thought to himself. 

"Don't worry. He won't do anything. I promise you that I won't tell him that he has a nickname too. It's a jerk I guess", he asked her chuckling. She nodded her head shyly.

"I'll make sure he doesn't get to know this. " 

"So you told me my eyes are just like your sister's. So what her name and where is she now?", Akruti questioned him. You see the curiosity kills the cat. The same goes for her. 

"Her name was Sara" 

"Was?"

"Yeah, she's not there."

"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I'm really sorry."

"Hey just chill. It doesn't hurt me. Others say she's not here. But trust me, She's living somewhere, I just don't know where? You know, there's a bond between siblings. It's the same here. So  I'm waiting for that day when I'll meet her again", He told her, whilst her eyes had glistened up.

"And I'll pray for that day to happen", she replied smiling at him. 

After this conversation, they both started growing close to each other. On his request, Akruti started calling him 'Bhai'. Daksh, Nila, Mr.Senior Khanna, Sharav, and her sometimes hangout after their working hours. They even called Viren to join them, but the stubborn one he is, he didn't join them saying he didn't want to get distracted from his work. 

Hearing his reason the boys along with dadu started laughing leaving the girls clueless. Once Sahil accompanied Akruti for her lunch which she had planned with Sharav. Sahil and Sharav got well acquainted. They always created some memories when they were together. 

Akruti and Viren tried their best to avoid each other. They both were unaware of the feelings they both felt, whenever they were together. Sometimes they share an eye lock, sometimes they meet each other in an awkward intimate situation. They both were avoiding each other literally like a plague.

The fashion show of the wedding collections was a hit. All the people who witnessed the show praised the company for their works. Since the show was a hit they all had a small party to celebrate their success with their business associates. The women of the company were asked to dress either in modern wear or traditional wear. And the men were asked to wear party clothing. All of them were elegantly dressed. 

All the members of the Khanna family were there. Preeti and Dadi were so eager to meet Akruti since the day they came to know about her. All of them would tease Viren mercilessly. Sometimes they teased Daksh too. So now all were eagerly waiting for the two important women so that they can see them. 

Viren was dressed in a navy blue blazer with a v-neck white T-shirt pairing it with black jeans, whilst Daksh in Khaki blazer with the same v- neck white T-shirt pairing t with dark blue jeans. Sharav was dressed in a maroon blazer with the same v-neck white t-shirt pairing it with lightly washed blue jeans. The three were looking handsome and hot, while the single women in the party were trying to hit on them. But they cared less.
