A Group of 4 boys are sitting in the vip corner of a club and enjoying .One boy said "Finally our studies are over and now we can finally go back to our home".A boy replied "yes ,but I am gonna miss this " Vishal asked him"what are you gonna miss Rohan your girlfriend's or US?" Rohan replied with a smirk "of course US" Aryan Said" it's true actually,i don't think anyone of us are gonna come to US in the upcoming year except one "Rohan asked him" and who is that one ? "Aryan replied"it's so obvious it would definitely be him , right Vishal ? " Vishal replied"yes but where is our charming boy"?
"I am here guys" The boys turned and saw a boy wearing black leather jacket and black pants with a mojito in his hands. He came towards them sat . Vishal asked him "why are you late?""we have been waiting for you since and an hour." The boy asked "why can't I be late?" Rohan said "leave it bro why will he reply us , He is the Avyukt Singh Rathore,he must be busy replying to all those messages of his fan girls , right avi?" .Avyukt replied" its nothing like that.. I was just busy with something..."Rohan then said"guys let's go and dance, see how many beautiful girls are there" All the boys chuckled and went to the dance floor.
After sometime they came back to the VIP corner and sat on the couch. Aryan ordered some snacks and drinks for them.
The boys were sitting back on the couch, laughing and chatting as the waiter brought their snacks and drinks. The neon lights reflected off the glass table, the club music thumping softly in the background.
Just then, a voice came from behind them.“Hey, boys.”They turned around. It was Shanaya ,the spoilt brat of kapoors, always behind Avyukt to be his girlfriend but always failed— dressed in a shimmering silver dress, her hair falling perfectly over her shoulders, confidence glowing in her smile.
“Hi,” she said, sliding gracefully onto the couch beside them.Rohan with a forced smile said “Hi, Shanaya.”
She looked around the group before her eyes landed on Avyukt. “How are you, Avyukt?” she asked softly, her tone carrying a hint of something unspoken.
Avyukt glanced up briefly and replied, “I’m fine,” before looking away, sipping his drink.
The air shifted for a moment. Shanaya’s smile faltered slightly, but she quickly recovered, faking a light chuckle. “ that doesn't sound convincing but it's okay”She had thought finally when their studies are over Avyukt would give her attention but still he is not bothered.Boys die to be her boyfriend but Avyukt don't even talk to her nicely.
Shanaya laughed politely. “Anyway, it’s getting boring just sitting here. Guy's Let’s play something!”
Aryan’s face lit up. “Yes! Let’s play Truth or Dare. It’s been forever since we played that.”
Shanaya clapped her hands excitedly. “Perfect! But can I call my friends too? It’ll be more fun.”
The boys exchanged quick glances, and Rohan though was irritated but with a faked smile said . “Sure, why not? The more, the merrier.” "ek Kam thi ki aur laa rahi hai" Rohan wishperd to Sahil.
Within minutes, Shanaya bought two girls with her — Shruti and Anjali — joined them, greeting everyone cheerfully. The circle was set. Shanaya took an empty beer bottle from the table, smirked, and said, “Let’s start!”
She spun the bottle. It twirled quickly, reflecting the club lights, and finally stopped—pointing at Rohan.Everyone cheered.Shanaya leaned forward. “Okay, Rohan… truth or dare?”
Rohan smiled mischievously. “Truth.”Shanaya’s grin widened. “Hmm… tell me, how many girlfriends have you had in the last five years?”The boys whistled teasingly except Avyukt who just smirked . Rohan leaned back with a smirk. “Only three.” Aryan said jokingly "bro that's like fasting for you " Everyone chuckled on the reply of Aryan.
Everyone laughed, the mood light and playful. Rohan then picked up the bottle and spun it. This time, it landed on Shruti.
“Okay, Shruti ,Truth Or Dare ,” Rohan said with a mischievous grin.She replied "Dare"“I dare you to go to that guy standing near the bar and dance with him—and tell him you like him.”
Shruti raised an eyebrow, smiled confidently, and stood up. “Easy.”She walked over to the bar, tapped the guy on the shoulder, and said something that made him blush. They danced for a few seconds, and everyone clapped as she returned to the group, laughing. Avyukt was just sitting and drinking his mojito like nothing bothered him .
“Your turn now, Shruti,” Aryan said.Shruti spun the bottle — and this time, it landed on Avyukt.
Everyone looked at him with anticipation. Shanaya’s eyes gleamed. “Perfect,” she said with a teasing tone. “I’ve got the best dare for you.”
Avyukt smirked, running a hand through his hair. “Alright, what’s the dare?”
Shanaya leaned closer, her voice soft but clear. “Call the last dialed number on your phone… say I love you… and put it on speaker.”
The boys erupted in laughter and whistles.Rohan shouted, “Ohhh this is going to be epic!”
All the boys laughed and cheered.Rohan nudged him playfully. “Come on, Mr. Cool Guy. Let’s see if you’ve got the guts!”
But Avyukt's face paled listening to the dare .His expression changed.The smirk on his face was long gone, he felt a strange unease. Slowly, he picked up his phone and unlocked it. The glow of the screen lit up his face as his eyes scanned the call log.
The last dialed number wasn’t saved under any name.For a few seconds, he just stared at it. Something about it felt… off. But everyone was watching him expectantly.
“Come on, man,” Aryan urged. “Don’t chicken out now!”Avyukt took a deep breath and tapped the call button. The phone rang once. Twice.
Then, from the other end, a female voice answered.“Hello?”
Every head at the table turned.The boys looked at each other, surprised.Rohan’s eyes widened. “Wait, what?! A girl?”
Even Avyukt looked confused. He frowned slightly, but kept a stern face .
There was complete silence for a few seconds then from the other side, the voice spoke again, “Hello? Actually, sir is—”
Before she could start and finish, all the boys leaned in, whispering, “Say it, Avyukt! Say it!”Avyukt hesitated for a split second… then said softly, “I… love you.”
A stunned silence followed — then he quickly hung up and shoved the phone into his pocket.The group burst into laughter, clapping and cheering.
Rohan whistled. “Damn, Avi! Didn’t know you had a secret girlfriend!”
Sahil added teasingly, “Bro, who are you hiding from us, huh? You’ve been pretending to be single all this time!”
But Avyukt didn't say anything ,still confused about the call thinking how did a girl answered the call? .To avoid further teasing,he faked a smile and said “Nothing like that. Just… my special one.”
The boys howled in amusement, high-fiving each other.
But None of them noticed the cold glare burning from beside Avyukt — Shanaya, her jaw clenched, her smile gone. She looked away, silently fuming as the others continued to laugh and tease.
The game went on for a few more rounds, and Eventually, everyone decided to call it a night.
The girls left together, their laughter fading into the night as they exited the club. The boys, still joking and chatting, made their way to the parking lot and got into their cars.
The city lights blurred past the car windows as Aryan drove, Rohan humming along to a soft song playing on the stereo. Vishal and Sahil sat in the back, still chuckling over Avyukt’s “mystery girl.”
But Avyukt wasn’t laughing.He sat quietly in the passenger seat, eyes lost in thought, staring at his phone.
That number he called… it wasn’t saved in his contacts intentionally.He remembered dialing it earlier that day — it was his father’s number.
"How could a girl answer that call?" He thought
He replayed the moment in his head — the soft, polite tone of the girl saying, “Actually, sir is—”
Then he had said it I love you.
His stomach churned uneasily. Something wasn’t right.
From the backseat, Vishal’s voice broke the silence. “So, guys, when are we finally heading back to India?”
Aryan replied casually, eyes on the road, “Next month, bro. Tickets are already booked.”
Rohan grinned. “Can’t believe it’s ending, man. Feels weird leaving this place after so long.”
Everyone murmured in agreement — except Avyukt.
He didn’t respond. His mind was far away, stuck on that call, that voice, that unsettling feeling.He looked out the window at the passing lights, his reflection staring back at him — quiet, thoughtful, uneasy.
Somewhere deep inside, he knew this wasn’t the end of a simple dare. It was the beginning of something… unexpected.
Scene Change :India
The Morning at Rathore 's & Co.
The glass doors of Rathore's &Co. slid open with a soft hiss as the morning light spilled into the sleek, modern lobby. The sound of heels echoed confidently against the marble floor.
A woman stepped in — tall, graceful, and dressed impeccably in a black tailored suit with a crisp black shirt underneath. Her hair was tied neatly in a low bun, a few strands brushing against her cheek. Her expression was calm yet sharp, carrying the kind of authority that didn’t need to be announced.
As she passed, employees greeted her respectfully.“Good morning, ma’am.”
She acknowledged each one with a soft smile and a slight nod — polite, professional, and effortlessly composed.
Reaching her cabin, she placed her sleek leather bag on the desk, straightened a few papers, and turned on her laptop. Within minutes, her hands were gliding across the keyboard — checking appointments, confirming meetings, drafting replies, and setting up the day’s agenda.
The hum of the city outside was faint against the quiet efficiency inside her glass cabin. She glanced at the framed quote on her desk — “Discipline is the silent strength behind success.” A faint, knowing smile touched her lips.
After finalizing the schedule, she stood, gathered a few neatly arranged files, and walked toward the CEO’s office.
---
The door to the CEO’s cabin opened silently. She stepped in, her black stilettos barely making a sound on the polished wooden floor. The large office was minimalist yet commanding — much like the man who owned it.
She set down a black steamed coffee on the right corner of the mahogany desk, adjusted the pen stand, and aligned the stack of files perfectly parallel to the edge.
Then she glanced at her wristwatch 8:59 a.m.
Exactly on cue, the clock on the wall struck nine.The heavy door in front of her opened, and a tall man entered — dressed in a perfectly tailored charcoal suit, his presence filling the room effortlessly. His voice was deep, calm, and composed.
“Good morning, beta ” he said, his tone professional yet carrying a faint warmth meant only for her.
She turned to him, meeting his eyes with that same calm smile she wore since morning.“Good morning, sir,” she replied softly.
He walked to his desk, picking up the coffee she’d placed there. “I have told you thousand times to not call me sir ,it makes me feel old.Don't i look younger? .I'm maybe 50+ but I am the most handsome man in the whole business world” he said, glancing at her with a hint of a smile.
She replied with a teasing smile “Yes , Mr Adhir Singh Rathore is younger than most of the businessmen . Always smiling always tension free ,am I right dodo? .”
Adhir said "And that is because I have you beta ,My Iravya the great."
"I am here Just because of you"Iravya said with a smile. Adhir replied" You are not here because of me , You are here because you have the strength, ability and intelligence."
Iravya then started telling him his schedule when he said" The coffee is a little bitter,can you please add some sugar." Iravya cut him off with a firm reply"you are not getting any sugar from now ,your test reports came yesterday night and I saw that your blood sugar level is very high."
Adhir frowned hearing that but said "only a little, please" Iravya said" If you are gonna ask for sugar again, I will call aunty and tell her that ,even after knowing about the reports you were still asking for sugar and then you know what will happen with you, should I call her?"
Adhir with a sad smile replied"leave it I will drink it" Iravya started telling him about the schedule and said "your old friend is coming to meet you in a few minutes on the second floor and after that we have a meeting with Singhania's at 10."
"Can you please arrange a bouquet for my friend,he loves flowers."Adhira said with a grin on his face. She replied with a smile ." I have arranged everything,you just have to go and meet him and then come in the conference room for the meeting , I am going there to see if everything is according to the plan or not .I will be waiting in the conference room for you."
Adhir said" what I would have done without you,Ira beta ?" With that he went to meet his friend. Iravya sat on the couch with the file for the meeting and started reviewing it. Suddenly she had a phone ringing ,she looked up and saw that it was Adhir's phone .She shook her head thinking how Adhir always forgets to keep his phone with himself.
She stood up and pick up the phone in her hands and saw that the number wasn't save with any name but it just had a heart symbol . She was confused at first but answer the call thinking it might be his friend. She said "hello" when she got no reply , she said again"hello, actually Sir is-- "before she could say anything a husky voice came from the other side .
"I love you"
Iravya was very shocked and stunned hearing that ,blood rushed towards her face .Before she could realise anything the call got disconnected . She was very confused but shook her head trying to forget what had just happened.
She took the client's file and Adhir's phone and headed towards the conference room. She entered the room and sat near the CEO chair. She called the leader of the team who was suppose to handle this client and present today's presentation.
A boy name Raj entered the conference room with a file. Iravya asked him in a professional tone "Is everything ready for today Raj?" Raj replied calmly "yes mam everything is perfect.But Can you please check this again?" She explain him few things and then saw her watch 9:45 am . She thought that Adhir would have met his friend till now and must be coming towards Conference room. She told Raj to to make sure everything is perfect and come with his teammates in the conference room till 9: 55 am .
The door of the conference room opened and Adhir entered with a sad face and said" I am not feeling very great just because of you Ira ,I didn't like the coffee in the morning and I got the same coffee –without sugar– when I was drinking coffee with my friend ,you told everyone in the office to not add sugar in my coffee? How can you do this,beta?" Iravya made a fake angry face and said "should I call aunty ?" Adhir replied" no need ,meri maa .I am stuck between you both . one scolds me at home one scolds me in office." Raj and Iravya chuckled hearing him. Raj went out to call his team mate's.
All the clients entered in the conference room right at 10. The meeting went smoothly. Mr Singhania said" Mr Rathore I am very impressed by your employees ,everyone here is working so hard ,they are very intelligent and hard working, specially your secretary I have heard many things about her from my friends". Adhir smilingly said "thank you Mr Singhania I know they work very hard and I am very proud of them. "Mr Singhania then said "I am ready to sign the deal but I have a condition. " Adhir looked at Mr Singhania confusingly , then he looked towards Iravya and she nodded . Adhir asked him "what is it ?"Mr Singhania then said "you already know Mr.Rathore we will be retiring soon and my son will be the next CEO of Singhania enterprises, if Iravya would help my son in business , being his secretary,as he is new to this ,it would be great for us and for Iravya too. She is very intelligent and confident girl. And when you retire you ,elder son is in politics ,so I don't think you will need her after your retirement ,so it would be great if she would work with us and should also gain more experience by working for us. And she will be more comfortable working with Singhania's than a complete stranger who is gonna be the next CEO of rathores."
Adhir was very angry when he heard Mr Singhania. He replied controlling his anger " you don't need to worry about her Mr Singhania . She is mature enough to take her decisions. And about being the CEO of Rathore &Co. My younger son is coming back from US he is gonna be the next to CEO of Rathore's. And she is more than comfortable working with Rathore's than any other person."
Everybody was stunned listening to Adhir as no one has thought that Adhir would make his younger son the CEO because there was no news about him in the media as if adeer has head him completely from the media – no photo no information and there were rumours that Adhir would make one of his partners the CEO of Rathore's but no one said anything . To avoid more awkwardness Mr Singhania's secretary faking a smile said"let's sign the deal " . Both Mr Singhania and Adhir signed the deal ,stood up and shook their hands. Adhir immediately left the conference room in anger after shaking hands with few mens .To ease the situation Iravya said"Thank you everyone for your time and as per Sir's request please have your breakfast in the cafeteria on the third floor. Thank you so much it was a pleasure to sign a deal with you all and we are looking forward to work with you all."
Then Iravya hurriedly left the conference room and went towards Adhir's cabin to calm him down.
