CONTINUING FROM THE LAST PART :
Adhiyunt's ( Male Lead ) Point Of View :
"Love makes a person do things they can never even imagin they would be doing. "
Leaving all the important work of my 250 billion net worth company in Australia, here I am sitting comfortably in the backseat of my black Rolls Royce while staring out of the tinted glass at the heavily pouring rain of Mumbai remembering how just one phone call made me fly from Australia to India overnight. Only for her.
Flashback 24 hours ago...
As usual, I was in my gym doing my work out on a regular basis lost in my own thoughts. It relieves my stress and helps me distract from my stress.
Being a fitness freak, I never miss workout, no matter what and one of the reasons is her.
To be honest, I started doing workout only when I realised that she loves strong, well built, muscular men. So what next? I was in the gym the very next day. I started doing heavy workout and made this 8 packs so I can at least catch her eyes if not her heart.
Girls die on mine this chiselled jaw, straight nose, brown eyes, pink full lips with flawless skin making me a handsome hunk, this godly well built muscular body. All I need to do is flex my arm a little or just remove my shades for girls to fall at my feet but that stupid girl never gave a damn about it. My long legs and tall frame makes girls swoon over me. I am the most eligible bachelor but what's the use of all of this when all of this never got able to even catch her eyes once but then again that's what makes her different from all the other girls in the world. She is special. My Aru. The love of my life who ain't willing to be a part of my life.
Signing at the thought, I put the heavy dumbbells down after doing some weight lifting and with this sweaty body which was making my black tank T-Shirt soaked in my own sweat, stick to my body like a second skin, I moved towards the treadmill. It was 8 in the morning in Australia and I have been working out for the last 2 hours to calm my nerves but even that doesn't seem to help. I couldn't sleep or do anything, all I could do was think, think and just think. Think how to find her. How to get her back. Yeah, she left me and what's the most funny thing is, she left me on the biggest day of my life, on our engagement night. That evening she ran away from home leaving me alone on the altar waiting for her.
This made me chuckle bitterly remembering that old bitter memory. Even though she did that to me, I don't hate her, In fact I still love her. She is my first and last love. How could I hate her? I just want her no matter what she does.
I was lost in my own world, when my chain of thoughts were suddenly broken by the ringing of my phone. I looked at the flashing screen of my phone which was placed in front of the treadmill, only to find my secretary and man in command Angad's name flashing on it.
Without stopping the treadmill, I swiped the green icon on screen to receive the call and put it on speaker only to hear the troubled voice of Angad.
"Boss, I just got a call from Raichand Villa"
I quickly paused the treadmill hearing his words and signed tiredly, knowing it's not going to be good news. Dropping my head on the head screen of the treadmill gloomily, I hardened my heart and got myself ready for whatever news was going to come as I asked him.
"What's the matter?"
I asked him coldly as I got off the treadmill, grabbing a napkin, which was placed on a nearby table with my stuff and wiping my sweat. As usual Angad was quick to respond without wasting my time.
"Mr. Raghav Raichand's condition has worsened."
He informed me.
Mr. Raghav Raichand, my uncle is the man I admire and respect the most in the whole world, my inspiration, my mentor, my protector, my God father. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be where I am today. It's all because of him that a timid Adhi developed into today's billionaire Adhuyunt Raisinghania.
He is my mom's elder brother and my dad's best friend. He is the one who got my mom and dad married after they fell in love. He had played cupid between them both as one was his younger sister and the other his best buddy. My dad trusted him the most, he was his secret keeper.
Both the families were really close. We used to visit each other frequently on occasions. My uncle had gone out of the country for some business when My mom and dad died in an accident.
I was 12 that time. That day I was with them only but somehow I survived.
After the demise of my parents, I was left alone in this world with my 5 year old younger brother Abhimanyu to fight with the greedy distant family relatives of my dad who wanted nothing but to snatch the huge fortune from us which my mom dad left behind for
Me and my brother. The same fortune which became the reason why our life fell in danger. Every single one of our relatives were greedy and wanted to snatch our property from us and for that they were even ready to kill the two of us innocent kids. It was a war of money. In the war of fortune, power and fame, our life came to threat when our house was set on fire as they tried to kill us by burning us alive. But fortunately my uncle who had returned back and got the news, came on time and saved us from turning into ashes.
If not for my uncle we both would have become the target of our enemies in disguise of relatives who plotted and planned many dirty things behind our backs over the years, setting a new trap every day just to snatch what belongs to us even if that costs our life and means using cruel inhuman ways.
For people like them, everything was fair in the ear of money.
So to protect us from all the hidden snakes like enemies around us, he took us in... After my parents died my uncle took both me and my brother under his wing. He brought us back to his home so he could protect us from all the attacks. Raichand's Villa.
That's the place where my whole childhood was spent and the place where I first met a 2 years old Aaradhya. My uncle's only daughter and my childhood sweetheart. My first love.
I still remember that day, it's still fresh in my memories just like yesterday.
Aaradhya was a very small, delicate and tiny bundle of joy. An angel who is an exact replica of her mother. Her mom, my uncle's life, who was a really sweet lady, had died after giving birth to her. So as a result she was pampered to no end. Being the youngest one in the house she was the apple of everyone's eyes. Protected by her overly protective three elder brothers which were 11 years older than her and like her shield protecting her from everything and everyone, whichever and whoever came to her.
After my Aunt's demise she became the reason of my uncle's life, his life lies within her as she is the last sign of her mother.
She was only 2 when I first saw her and took in my arms. That was the very moment I got this protective feeling building in my heart, to protect her and I knew that I needed power for that. If I want to protect her, my brother and my loved ones then first I need to become stronger so I started training under my uncle.
As I was a minor and under age, My uncle who became my and my brother's guardian, took the Raisinghania empire under his control and started managing it, protecting it from all predatory eyes of hungry wolves while training me to become a successful businessman.
Without any greed for money or eyeing the property in his hands which he could easily possess, he remained honest and kind. In the end, handed me the whole empire which he protected and run successfully for 6 years after I became an adult as I turn 18. After that, he helped me in business and protected me from all backstabbing two faced peoples around me with ulterior motives until I became capable enough to protect myself and my empire. In these 6 years he not only protected Raisinghania's empire but grew it to another height, the business expanded more than in the period of my dad's rule but never asked for a share nor expected anything. He had never eyed our fortune nor planned to possess it but only protected it for us until we became capable enough to protect it and ourselves by ourselves.
He is a true man with words. He had told me he would make me capable enough to handle our empire and he did.
He always treated us kindly and like his own kids. He loved us as his own. He was like my father to me. He filled that emptiness in my heart. He filled my mom dad's place in my life. He tried his best to give us best. He became a light of hope for us when we were surrounded with darkness.
Even after being successful and taking the rope of Raisinghania empire in my hands and shouldering all the responsibilities, I didn't leave Raichand Villa because, for me, he is my father. We never planned to leave until that incident a year back. That evening me and Abhimanyu left Raichand Villa and went back to live in our own mansion left by my mom and dad. It's not because I was angry with him, I just didn't want to put him in a difficult spot and make things awkward for everyone. Even after whatever happened, I still loved and respected him because I knew it's not his fault. I still cared for him truly,
so after hearing this news it really saddened me.
Throwing away the napkin in my hands rather aggressively, I grabbed my protein shake next and took a sip of it to relieve my thirst as my throat felt dry and itchy as if someone was strangling it making it hard for me to talk, I muttered to myself angrily.
"What did you do Aru"
Disappointed I whispered, breathing heavily knowing very well that, in whatever condition today uncle is, is because of her disappearance only. More than illness it's her worry that's making him weak. He loves her alot and from the moment she left he fell sick. He doesn't say but since she left it's like his life left. I know that. From that day everything is like this only. Everyone in that house has lost their smile. No one in that house laughs anymore. Her brothers who are searching for her madly are worried sick, theirs not a day her sister in law's didn't mention her or uncle hasn't cried while holding her picture.
Thinking all this, I huffed tiredly and composed myself, ordered Angad in a cold voice not letting my emotions flow freely.
"Get the car ready, we are heading to Raichand's Villa"
With it I swipe the red end icon, hanging up on him without waiting for his reply knowing he got the massage and threw the shaker bottle backwards before storming off towards my
bedroom to get ready.
