Time fly really fast as the people say, almost two years has passed since that night’s incident in California. Both Raj and Meera kept in touch, they started to cherish their time when they were on video call or chatting as they became busy, their time together became short.
They both had setbacks in life in these two years but that didn’t affect them much, it was not that setbacks didn’t affect them and disappears but as they are in love, they supported each other emotionally. Their ambiguous relationship continued without them dating anyone else including each other.
If there was to held a record for a longest relationship without a title or commitment there is no doubt this couple be winner through and through. There was a reason for this though and that was Raj, she knew their relationship was thorny and because of that he was a little afraid of formal commitments, as her personality is to not fret about every little thing she didn’t mind this much of adjustment.
Today Barry had come with his team of professional and associates to the headquarter of the “Moments Event Managements” as they had fulfilled their condition of their contract and became top 7th ranked Event planner company in India, to discuss the arrangements with planners final time as his marriage is in fifteen days from now.
Barry was destined to wed on 3rd of February according to Indian tradition and Christian way on 4th Feb. Both the families decided to respect their traditions and marry accordingly with both. Barry and his would-be wife Riya Sherwani were happy about that and Barry wanted everything to be perfect so he personally came before departing with his friends for bachelor’s week before the festivities begin.
Barry and Raj became good friend in their two year tenure of partnership. Barry respected Raj’s talent in organization and management and Raj respected how Barry didn’t interfere in business and gave him his freedom and help him from sidelines, sometime guiding, some timing providing contacts. Their relation was professional only when discussing business on the other times they were good friends and vacation buddies.
Today Barry was meeting Prashant as Raj was on the site of wedding that was Udaipur’s city palace, he was arriving at their Mumbai office after two hours but Barry had a flight so he decided to visit early with his associates to make final preparation.
As his entourage was about to enter the office and his employees noticed the sign on the company board, there was a girl who was associate manager and was promoted recently to main office had current run through her body as she noticed the Company signboard.
Meera was happy when she heard that she would be travelling with boss and other managers to India for boss wedding. But not even in her dreams she imagined that the company planning his boss wedding would be Raj’s as they value their time with each other and didn’t talk much about their company’s businesses.
She was so surprised that she froze where she stood until Barry called for her to hurry up. When she first learned that she would be travelling to India, she wanted to surprise him and was worried that whether she will get time to meet him and here she is visiting his office first after reaching India. She was so happy, and was starting to think how Raj will react when he sees her within this team. She was happy and nervous.
Her fantasies didn’t come to fruition as Raj was not present at meeting, she was also slightly happy as she doesn’t want him to see her with so many people and being embarrassed as he wears his flustered expression on his face.

In recent month she was little unhappy as Raj didn’t give her enough time due to some big project. Now she finally knew how busy he was and felt rather silly.
The meeting ended without the hitch and Barry was rather impressed by Raj’s foresight in arrangements of the wedding. He was now selecting employs from his mangers to oversee the details and keep him updated.
Meera was presented this opportunity as she was new and rookies are worked in the industry by seniors, she was expecting this as she was new and now was happy for this opportunity. Barry ordered Meera to oversee things and arrange things accordingly and inform him when Raj returns and meet him in the afternoon after some rest.
Meera thought some time before suggesting waiting for the Mr. CEO to come as she has nothing better to do. Barry didn’t think much of it and rest is the same they are happy to have this kind of paid vacation. Meera was also happy about the arrangements she bade her accompany farewell as she will depart for wedding location with planning team in the night.
She suggested waiting for Raj in his office to Prashant who didn’t find it troublesome and accompanied her to the office and arranged a coffee for her.
After Prashant left she took a tour of the office, the office was minimalistic style, the were a rack which contains some awards and certificate and on its opposite wall was pictures of Raj and co. winning some awards and enjoying vacations.
In between them was a floor to ceiling window with a nice view of beach and set of table chair of CEO in front, opposite of table chair set there was sofa set for the guests. After her brief tour she sat on the sofa enjoyed her coffee, after an hour she hear from the din outside that Raj has returned, she sat their little nervously.
Raj was about to enter his office when Prashant reminded him that a manager is waiting from Barry’s Company for an hour.
Raj took the remainder opened the door and apologized by saying “Sorry Miss Manager I was out of town and it took a little longer.”
As he apologized, he looked at the sofa arrangement from where the retort came “Until now you called me Senior and I didn’t object much, now if you start calling me Miss Manager, you are a dead man, little rascal.”
Now Raj was utterly shocked from retort and seeing the person in front of him. He literally doesn’t know what to do. He never expected the person who he wanted to meet so much would suddenly come in front of him.
When Meera saw his reaction, she was utterly pleased and offered an advice “Little rascal, if you don’t know what to do, at least hug me.”
By the words spoken by her he came out of first shock and entered second but reacted quickly and hugged her. He looked at her by lowering his chin a little with admiration and love, she lifted her head and looked at his face that was looking at her in such admiration, and she didn’t say anything and just looked at him, who she spent very less time in reality but loved very much nevertheless.
After a long pause he looked at her closed his eyes sighed and opened again and said with determination “I read it somewhere that; first time it is coincidence, Second Time it is Fate, and afterwards it is all planned.”
With a pause he continued “I am taking this as fate and am planning to pursue you now.”
When Meera heard his words, she was genuinely impressed. She liked how he unexpectedly took charge and said things which make her heart flutter. She nodded and didn’t say a thing.
They stayed like this for a while until Prashant knocked on the door which startled both of them and they separated.
Raj took the initiative opening the door and informed Prashant that this time he will be side character and enjoy the wedding as Barry’s friend which was obvious excuse as he wanted to use this to spend his time with her.
Prashant didn’t think of much and was happy with this opportunity, he also informed Raj that most of the work is done and he personally didn’t need to be involved that much.
Raj settled all there is to in approximately one hour and informed Prashant about Meera and told him to handle things accordingly. Prashant was happy for his friend after knowing their relationship and handled thing accordingly. Ten days later Barry returned and the festivities begun in the royal palace.
