A woman in her mid twenties is continuously typing on her laptop for the past one hour as she needs to complete the list of the business associates and writers for the upcoming anniversary celebration of the company. Although she badly wants to take a five minutes break but she can't as she needs to complete her work on time. It's not like her Boss will scold or anything like that, it's just that she likes to complete her tasks on given time. Not only that, she needs to talk to her Boss for the leave she needs to take so it's better if she first complete her work and then informs about the leave.

Suddenly the landline phone on her desk starts ringing so she has to stop her work and picks up the call. As soon as she picks up the call a small smile appears on her face hearing her younger sister's voice from the side of the phone.

"Why are you calling at this time, Jiya?" Nishtha asks leaning against her chair.

"Umm, I need to pay the fees of my computer class. Actually, I asked Mummy for money but she said that Papa didn't have any money right now as he had sent Aarav Bhai's college fees last week." Jiya replies in a timid tone while Nishtha takes a deep breath because she too doesn't have much money saved up after paying the rent and other necessary bills.

"How much do you need?" Nishtha asks after sometime.

"Four thousand rupees." Jiya replies feeling bad because she knows that her elder sister is working hard for the treatment of little Mishka.

"Okay, I will send you the money tomorrow. Is that alright?" Nishtha asks getting up from her chair knowing well that she won't be able to concentrate on her work anymore.

"That will work, Di. By the way, thank you so much for helping me. I am promising you that as soon as I get my tution fees from the students next month I will return the money." Jiya says to which Nishtha scoffs in response.

"So now I have to take the money back from you? When did you get so old that you think that I will take the money back? I am your elder sister so it's my duty to provide you things when you need them. So, stop thinking about returning the money and put your full concentration on your study." Nishtha replies in a stern tone and Jiya knows that there is no way that she can argue with her sister anymore.

"By the way, where is my Mishu?" Nishtha asks looking outside the window of her cabin.

"She is sleeping after having food fight with Mummy." Jiya replies making Nishtha smiles.

"Okay, then I will call you later after I reach home." By saying this Nishtha disconnects the call and takes a deep breath.

It's nearly the end of month so Nishtha has to wait for some more days till she recieves her salary. At least she is happy that the company pays her well enough that she is able to live a decent life. Although most of her income go to the treatment of her 3 years old daughter who hasn't said her first word yet. Neither her daughter can walk properly nor express her feelings even after continuous treatment.

Mishka, Nishtha's daughter stays in Delhi with Nishtha's parents while Nishtha is working as the PA of the CEO in AV Publishing House of Jodhpur. Her Boss who is also the owner of the company, Kavyansh Singh Rathore is the elder prince of the Royal family of Rajasthan and his younger cousin, Ritika Singh Rathore is Nishtha's best friend who has recommended Nishtha's name for the job.

At first, Nishtha was not very comfortable working in a new company but her colleagues and especially her Boss has made her feel comfortable in the company. Not only that, whenever she needs to go to Delhi to meet her daughter the flight ticket is sponsored by her Boss and that's another reason for her to respect her Boss so much.

People may call her selfish for taking help from her Boss or her best friend but at least she isn't doing anything for free. She is doing her job with perfection and in time which has made her one of the best employees of the company as well. She has worked hard to achieve everything so she doesn't care what others think about her. Because she isn't the old Nishtha who used to be worried thinking about what others would say. She now knows her worth and that's all matters to her.

A man in his mid thirties is walking inside the clinic as his patient is waiting for him. He is living in Toronto for last three months because of the demand of his therapies as he is one of the best psychologists of India and because of that, many NRI persons prefer to consult him for any psychological condition. He too likes to have rich patients because he loves to earn well so that he can give a luxurious life to his parents who have worked day & night to give him good education.

However, before he can enters the allocated cabin his phone starts ringing. So, takes out the phone from his pants' pocket and notices that it's his best is calling him which he finds odds because his best friend knows that this is his duty time. Still feeling a little paranoid about the call, he decides to picks up the call.

"I don't know whose face I saw early in the morning when I opened my eyes that I got your call at this time?" Samarth asks sarcastically.

"Can you stop with your sarcasm and listen to me silently?" Kavyansh, his best friend asks in a serious tone which alert Samarth instantly.

"Why are you sounding so serious? Is everything alright in the family?" Samarth asks getting worried.

"Sam, I have found my Lotus. She isn't dead." Samarth's eyes widen hearing his best friend's words because this seems unbelievable to him.

"What are talking about, Bro? I mean you informed me that Varenya had died six years ago then how come she is alive?" Samarth asks as he remembers Kavyansh telling him that Kavyansh's girlfriend Varenya died in a plane crash.

"I will tell you everything in details but I need to know whether you will be able to come back to India or not. Because I can't trust anyone other than you with Varenya's condition." Kavyansh replies from the other side of the phone.

"I will be there as soon as possible." Samarth answers because Varenya is his good friend as well as she used to be his junior in University.

"Okay then talk to you later, bye." Kavyansh says.

"Bye." Samarth replies and disconnects the call while his mind starts wondering what must have happened to Varenya that Kavyansh needs his help.

Samarth shrugs his shoulders and opens the door of his cabin before walking inside to find a young couple sitting on the couch. He smiles at them which reveals his dimples making the woman to blush while the man glares at his wife.

Meanwhile, Samarth smirks inwardly knowing the effect he has on girls. Because this is not the first time that someone has nearly drool over his good looks, especially his dimples. But as he is in his work place so he keeps his flirting skills aside and starts interacting with his patients in a professional manner.
