Entwined fate

"The art of smiling is not a rocket science; it's just a reflex action to what you feel. Try it's not that hard, Arnav." He smiled again at the memory; Seven years, was long enough to forget someone, not that the memory of the person haunted him or tortured him in anyway, he is just amused by himself to relive the memory ever so naturally every time he found himself helping someone. "Ram Singh" he greeted as he reached the parking place of the airport. "Hello sir how was your flight?" the driver spoke reaching out to his luggage. "It was good, I would have hailed a cab, you shouldn't have come" he said going around the SUV and settling himself behind the wheel. "Oh, I was strictly instructed not to allow you to drive at this time of the night sir---" he said hesitantly looking at Arnav settled behind the wheel already. "Then your Maam shouldn't have sent you Ram singh, the taxi would have served that purpose, don't you think? Now shut up and take the place beside me or you can choose to stay here for the rest of the night, and oh! I might just deduct your one day pay if you choose to stay by the way" he said and smirked. Ram Singh visibly cursed his boss under his breath. He slowed down his car as they neared the building with both of their gazes fixed to the white image above them and finally the car halted just below the building. Sensing the car stop, Ram Singh turned his head to look at his boss as a reflex action. "Sir, I was just kidding; you are not thinking to go up there, are you?" He asked swallowing hard as he could see Arnav just ignoring him and his glance fixed to that image. Arnav stepped out of his car all the way looking up at her and stood facing the ridiculously tall building, his face bent behind in an attempt to take a clear look at the white image. He tugged his hands in his pockets and continued to observe her. The white gown looked oversized for her petite body, it looked more like a hospital gown, her legs stood long and straight on the very thin wall; he noticed there wasn't a shiver nor a tremble in the way she stood there, her posture almost looked relaxed and his lips parted registering the view that spoke volumes to him, but somehow nothing made sense. He felt a sudden pull and he swallowed hard processing the unknown fear creeping up his nerves.His legs on their own accord made their way into the building completely ignoring the repeated calls from his driver. The doors of the elevator wide opened into the top most floor and then he walked around to find the stair case leading to the terrace. He wasn't rushing, he wasn't running nor was in a panic state, he was just walking as if in a trance" He could see her from behind, her petite body from within the loose gown showing curves blended in her form in perfect places, as the mid-night breeze blew her gown from the inner side.There was some kind of familiarity with her.Making sure, she acknowledged him so that he wouldn't startle her; ."May be you should jump and take a look to see what it feels like?" he said seeing her withdrawing her hands and tugging them in front of her. The rest of the stance in her body still seemed relaxed and as expected by him, she wasn't startled. "I'm not gonna jump stranger, you can go back to whatever you were doing before you decided to save me" she said "You are not gonna jump?" he definitely did guess that "Well, sorry to disappoint you Stranger, but I'm not jumping" she stated bringing her palms over her hands and rubbing against the cold breeze. "I'm glad, I wonder why stand like that if you have no intention to jump though" "Dangerous, isn't it?" "Standing at this height several meters above the ground, that little feeling you get when you stand here dominates every other misery of your life; Just when he reached the bottom of the steps his legs halted at the entrance as the white bundle rushed down in front of his eyes landing with a thud on the ground:he recognize her kushi

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.
