Chapter-1:

5 months later...

The Mercedes screeched to a halt and the behind door was pushed open in one swift moment. Two men from the car behind it, rushed with black open umbrellas as Arnav stepped out with his one hand instantly shielding the side of his face from the rapid down pour. His other hand vigorously patted the droplets away from his jet black coat, whilst he started walking into the hospital with his bodyguards escorting him.

---"Mr Raizada, we see you come here daily--"

----"Mr Raizada has the case been solved?"

---"Mr Raizada, how are you related to the girl?"

----"Does your family---"

And the questions from the paparazzi along with the Television media went on, who did not seem to give up despite the constant efforts of the guards to keep them away, while Arnav just walked ahead without giving any attention to his surroundings--- his aviators protecting the desperate people from his fierce glances and his stance authoritative. He let out another frustrated sigh, once he was inside and then gazed at his guards, who taking the hint, quickly dispersed into the waiting hall finally leaving him alone.

Arnav Singh Raizada, a ruling business man of the country who owned multinational empire dealing with advertising industry. Brands and branding is his forte. Travelling across the globe, indulging in international expansions and accumulation of international brands is his passion. Ar -Agency is his living. Ever since 14, he never knew what home was, for he never stayed in a single place. Although his home was back in Delhi, where his sister and Nani stayed"his only family, he never really stayed with them. His studies and work always involved lot of travelling. If the initial years of his teenage have been spent in moving from one boarding school to another, his early twenties have been spent in travelling and thus taking care of the international business of his own empire. Travelling and running around in fast pace across and away from all the binding things in life has been his biggest passion and he consciously chooses this pace of living. The only time he stayed consistently in a place was when he was in college, for he knew he would need proper persistent education to fulfill his dreams.

After those three years of college, these past five months have been the next longest duration in which he stayed in a single place and did a similar daily routine. Visiting her.

Arnav Singh Raizada's life never did stop for anyone or anything. It has to go on and the direction has to be upwards always, there has been no looking back, no going down and no rooting to a single place. So why now?

Because he needed answers. Answers to a lot of questions which rather were puzzles that he just couldn't solve. And Arnav Singh Raizada wasn't the ones to give up, if he needed answers, he bloody well would make sure he would get them.

A lot have happened after that random night when he found her;

"I'm not gonna jump stranger, you can go back to whatever you were doing before you decided to save me"

The conviction and self-confidence with which she assured him that she wouldn't jump wasn't something Arnav could ever forget. His judgment to leave her there, cannot just be wrong, because he just knew that she wouldn't jump.

"Well, sorry to disappoint you Stranger, but I'm not jumping"

The strong voice and will power in those words haunted him for nights after that day. He dint want to subject his mind to What-if's' of whether he should have pulled her down or should have stayed longer. But then he just couldn't find any peace, there was something amiss. He wouldn't be so damn sure to leave her like that if he dint know for sure that she wouldn't jump. As ridiculous as the logic sounded, or as defensive as the explanation seemed, it was truth. Arnav Singh Raizada doesn't believe in fate, he believes in his instinct, and his instinct just told him that she wouldn't jump, he just cannot be bloody wrong.
