A bright and beautiful morning brings a new strength to deal with the day. But that is not the case with me; you know why because I am already late for my meeting with Raj grandpa. I don't want to face his anger early in the morning.

Raj grandpa is Dhiraj Rajvansh whom I have known ever since I can remember. He and my grandparents were friends. So both the families are quite close to each other.

I know Vijay uncle and Siya aunty also as they are close to my parents. I have even played with his grandchildren when I was a toddler.

"Kiu have your breakfast before going." Said Drishti bhabhi (sister in law) and kiu and choco are my nickname. Don't ask why pleaseee.....

"Bhabhi I am already getting late if I'll be more late then grandpa will eat me alive without even cooking." I replied as I took my car keys and ran out of my home sweet home.

"Be careful on the way" said bhabhi.

"Yes bhabhi. Bye, love you" I said and left from there to meet my Raj grandpa.

As I reached the destination, I heard a booming voice "where were you? Why are you so late? Do you know for how long I have been waiting" Of my grandpa Raj.

"Grandpa Raj!" I shouted and ran towards him and hugged him. Oh how much I have missed being in his arms. It's like my safe heaven. He is the only one from whom I got grandfather's love as my grandparents died before my birth.

"I missed you so much" saying this I tighten my hold on him.

"Oh I know how much you would have missed me as you came so late to meet me. For once I thought you don't want to meet me at all." He replied sarcastically while hugging me close to him.

"Awe.... Are you still angry that I came late. I am so sorry. I will calm your anger down; see" saying this I separated myself from him and raised my hands above his head.

"Anger....... Anger....... Shoo-shoo" I said while moving my hands too and fro above his head.

Childish I know, but the smile that took place on his face was worth it. Even after ageing he doesn't look like an old man at all. Still the same cold aura and perfect posture with capabilities of judging a gem from stone by one look.

"See your anger is gone" I said while jumping up and down and clapping my hands.

"Yes my doll you are the only one who can calm my anger." He said and took me inside the veranda. This is a small open cafe with a nice view and this is also our usual meeting spot.

"So why were you so much serious while asking me to come and meet you" I said as I remember how much his voice was cold while trying to mask his anger on the call.

Flashback

'Ring' 'ring' 'ring'

"Hello" I said answering the phone.

"Keira I heard you are back" it was the voice I remember clearly.

"Grandpa Raj" I said while viewing the contract screen.

"Yes my doll. It's me" he replied but his voice was not like he normally talked with me. It was cold, very cold and I was not used to it.

"Why are you calling me with some other number? Are you okay grandpa you don't sound alright" I said, concern dripping from my voice.

"Yes I am fine, don't worry about me but can you meet me tomorrow morning." He said trying to calm himself but I can clearly hear the anger in his voice.

"Yes ofcourse. Our usual place at 10:00 AM. Is it alright with you" I said

"Yes it's alright. Bye dear" he said

"Bye grandpa Raj take care of yourself" I said and hung up the call.

Flashback end's

Grandpa sighed and asked me to take a seat. After a while a waiter came with a tea for grandpa and an orange juice for me. Grandpa has already ordered for me as he knows my likes and dislikes.

"I want a favor from you doll" grandpa said, his voice holding a helplessness. I have never seen my grandpa like this not even when grandma died.

"What's wrong grandpa? I'll try my best to help you. Tell me." I said with a small frown on my face.

"I know what I am asking you to do is not what you would ever want. Trust me choco I would never do anything like this if I did have any other option" he said while trying to compose himself.

"Grandpa what are you trying to say I can't understand anything" I said, trying to understand the meaning of the words he spoke.

"Choco I am going to tell you everything please listen carefully and don't interrupt me in between. I know it will not be easy for you but please try to understand okay" he said

I nodded my head and remain silent to hear what he is about to say. I don't know why but I am not getting a good feeling from what is about to come.

My instincts are telling me something is wrong and let me tell you they are never wrong.

I expected some bad news but what I heard left me completely shocked. I wasn't able to concentrate on any other thing and just shouted.

"What!!"
