Shimla, India.
It was night time.
It was quite cold and a man, who had covered his entire face with a muffler, went inside a house. He closed the door and called someone. As soon as the call was picked up, he quickly said, "I have found out. He is coming back to Shimla tomorrow."
A voice came from the other side, "Very good, so she will also go tomorrow." With this the call was disconnected. The man took off his muffler and placed it on the table. There was a photo on the wall and a name was written below the photo: Pulkit Agarwal.
The name of the person who had just spoken on the call was Pulkit Agarwal.
Pulkit said to himself as he went towards his bedroom, "So everything will start from tomorrow. You will go there and bring what is needed." A slight smile appeared on his lips as he said this.
Next day
A big mansion surrounded by tight security. A girl was standing in the outhouse area of the mansion. The girl looked very cute in a white dress, but looking at her face it was clear that she was very upset. Despair was visible on her face.
The girl said to herself, "I just want to get this job, I want a job at any cost. Chandni, if you don't get the job, then it will be a big mess." The girl's name was Chandni. She was an orphan, so she had no surname, she was just Chandni.
Chandni was roaming around outside the outhouse when a man came to her and said, "You have got this job, but remember, you should not make any mistake even by mistake. Understood? Armaan Singhania was the owner of this mansion and you have to take care of his mother, so no carelessness at all."
Chandni quickly said, "There will be no carelessness," saying this she smiled slightly.
After a while, Chandni had come inside the mansion. She was looking around. The mansion was quite big. There were antique pieces everywhere and looking at them she could understand how valuable they could be.
The man, who had told Chandni that he had got the job, introduced Chandni to everyone and left from there. Chandni was standing in the kitchen at this time.
The head of the kitchen, Molly, looking at Chandni said, "Madam's entire routine of eating and drinking is kept in the file over there, check everything."
Chandni quickly checked the whole routine and then looking at Mouli said, "Is everything done according to this routine?"
Looking at her, Mouli said, "Yes, it happens according to that routine and takes utmost care of the test. Madam's leg is broken, she cannot walk and on top of that she has many other problems, so you are here till her leg heals. Don't make any mistake or else Armaan sir will not forgive mistakes."
Chandni quickly said, "I will not make any mistake," saying this she immediately started her work. Now she had to quickly prepare breakfast for Armaan's mother, i.e. madam, whose name she did not know.
After a while, Chandni had prepared the breakfast.
She asked Mouli, "Should I take it?"
Mouli replied to her, "Chandni, you are his caretaker so you will take it and don't be afraid. There is a difference between Armaan sir and madam. Manisha madam is very sweet." Chandni smiled slightly and said, "Ok." Chandni took the plate of food and went straight upstairs.
On reaching outside Manisha's room, she knocked the door lightly. But when there was no response from inside, she went inside herself. Manisha was sitting on the bed. Chandni noticed Manisha properly. There was a plaster on her leg.
Just then Manisha called out to her, "Chandni, are you Chandni?"
Chandni replied, "Yes, I was just looking at your leg. Are you hurt too much?" Saying this, she kept the plate of food on the night stand and sat on the bed near Manisha's feet.
Manisha smiled slightly and said, "Yes, she fell two days ago and broke her leg badly. But I am fine. And the routine of eating and drinking, I know, you must have seen it. Armaan says that I need to take care of my eating and drinking. He is coming back tonight."
Chandni smiled and said, "Aunty, will you eat or should I feed you?"
Manisha replied, "No, my child, I will eat. Your name is very beautiful. Who all are there in the family?"
Chandni paused for a moment and said, "Aunty, I am alone, I am an orphan. I have no one."
Manisha looked at Chandni's face for a moment, which clearly reflected her sadness. She changed the topic and said, "Okay, I am eating. You can give me the medicine and then leave. You don't need to sit with me all day."
Chandni replied to her, "Ok aunty." After Manisha had finished eating, Chandni took the plate and left from there and before leaving she also gave Manisha her medicine. Chandni kept doing odd jobs the whole day. Mouli had given her all the details about Manisha, what to do, when and how to do everything.
At night Chandni was going towards her room. She had to stay here and she had got a small quarter to live in which was small only in name because it was a big place.
After reaching her room Chandni said, "This quarter is so big. It doesn't look small at all," saying this she opened her long hair and went to freshen up. After a while Chandni came out after freshening up. She was wearing her night dress.
She looked around once and suddenly said, "There is no water here. I will feel thirsty at night," saying this she picked up the empty water bottle which had no water in it and then she took the bottle and went straight out of the room.
Chandni filled her bottle after reaching the kitchen and as she turned, she felt as if someone was watching her.
"Who is it? Is someone there?" Chandni called out and moved forward. She came out of the kitchen. It was dark. Nothing was visible, no one was visible.
She muttered to herself, "Maybe I have misunderstood something." Saying this, she turned around and suddenly collided with someone. Chandni screamed loudly.
Before she could fall down, someone caught her by the waist and pulled her close. Chandni had closed her eyes in fear, but she could clearly feel someone's gaze on her face.
Chandni opened her eyes slightly and her eyes met forest green eyes. Chandni was quietly looking into the eyes of the person standing in front of her. She was in his arms.
The person standing in front of her said in a low voice, "Are you lost and what?"
Chandni came to her senses and said, "Sorry, but who are you? And who scares someone like this? If the owner of this place comes to know, then there will be no one bigger for you than him."
The man left Chandni without saying anything. Chandni immediately took two steps back and started staring at the man. She could see the man's face because of the faint light coming from the kitchen.
Chandni said again, "Who are you? Answer me. Wait a second, are you a thief who has come here to steal? Look, then quickly get out of here. If the owner of this place comes to know, then it will not be good at all. You don't know how dangerous the owner of this place is." The man standing in front of her was still not saying anything.
Chandni put her hands on her waist and said, "You are a very strange person. Can't you hear? Means you are deaf? Well, you are deaf, that's why you steal. No problem." Before Chandni could complete her sentence, the light turned on.
She turned back once and saw Mauli standing there. And then Chandni looked back at the man standing in front of her and she moved back a little while looking at him. That man, 6.3 feet tall and well dressed, did not look like a thief at all.
Mauli said quickly, "Sorry Sir, this Chandni has just come as Madam's caretaker. She did not know about you." Chandni's eyes widened as she heard Mauli's words.
She said softly, "Armaan Singhania?" Hearing his name from Chandni's mouth, a strange smile came on Armaan's lips. Chandni was looking at him with surprise.
She started looking at Armaan carefully. His black coloured clothes, which clearly indicated that he was quite rich, a little hair reaching his forehead, forest green eyes, olive skin, light brown and a slight cut near his left eye, which was visible, there was only a mark of that cut.
Chandni was looking at Armaan, she was lost in him. Her eyes were not moving away from Armaan. Then Armaan took a step towards Chandni. Mouli's eyes widened in surprise.
She knew that Armaan cannot tolerate anyone disrespecting him. Armaan came very close to Chandni and stopped, so much so that there was not even a little space between them.
He looked into her eyes and said, "Chandni, you should find out about the owner of the place where you come to work. If the owner gets offended, I can throw him out."
Chandni mumbled, "Sorry Sir, I had heard your name, but never seen your face," saying this she lowered her eyes.
Armaan's smile became even deeper on this action of hers. He placed two fingers under Chandni's chin and raised her face.
Chandni looked into Armaan's eyes for a few moments and then lowered her gaze again. She was not able to look into Armaan's eyes for long. Armaan came close to her face.
"First and last mistake. One more mistake and Armaan Singhania will destroy you. Ok darling, I hope you understand, right?"
Chandni replied to him, "Ok, I understand," saying this she held her clothes tightly. Armaan's closeness was making her very nervous. Armaan looked at Chandni's face for a few moments and then he stepped back.
"Molly, remember that next time whoever comes to work here, they should know who the owner is. I don't want to see a drama like this back home." After saying this, Armaan left from there.
Looking at Chandni, Mouli said, "Are you crazy? The good thing is that Armaan sir did not get angry. If he had got angry, you would have been in the basement and not here."
Chandni replied to her, "I really did not know. I only knew the name, sorry." Her eyes were filled with tears while saying this.
Mouli said, "Okay, you go to sleep now. It is night now, you have to get up early in the morning because madam gets up early and then after that you have to help her completely."
Chandni said while cleaning herself, "Okay," saying this she immediately ran from there to her room.
