Arjun POV:

After a good workout in my home gym.

I am going to my room to shower then join my parents for breakfast. After showering, with a towel on my waist I move to my closet to pick an outfit for the day which is a white shirt with tie and dark blue blazer, pants and white shoes.

I wear my watch set my hair and spray my perfume. Looking at my reflection I give myself a nod. I think I am ready for the day.

Hey, I am Arjun, a businessman. I own hotels and resorts in major parts of India. My dad Mohan Shekhawat is a retired businessman who started this hotel business from scratch.

I took over the business after he retired and working hard to make him and mom proud.

My mom Indra Shekhawat is a housewife. My and dad's biggest support system and cheerleader is my mom, she is our peace. I live with my parents in a pretty big house or u can call it a mansion.

People find me a little intimidating or arrogant because that's how I portray myself to the world.

I am a very private person only my parents and one best friend whose name is Nikhil know the real me. He is also a businessman.

Okay now, let's go for breakfast. I climb down the stairs, my room is on the second floor which also has 2 more bedrooms and my home office and a living room. My parent's room is on the first floor with other rooms which are similar to mine, down on the ground floor we have a huge kitchen dining room, 2 big living rooms, an office, 2 guest bedrooms, a gym also a big garage for our cars and bikes.

Entering the dining room I was greeted with the smiling faces of my mom and dad. Even now they behave like young lovers, they are a happily married couple for 35 years.

After noticing my presence my mom wished me "Good morning Arjun " with her contagious smile. I said " Good morning mom dad"smiling. Dad passed me my breakfast plate with my coffee. During breakfast, we have some family time and share everything.

After talking about some family matters, my dad asked "How is the preparation going for our new hotel, did u finalized the plans". I replied, " Yes dad, the plans are done. Soon we are going to start the construction".

Dad said okay good and continued eating. After breakfast, I hugged my mom and dad they gave me their blessings which is an everyday thing and said goodbye to them. Moving to the entrance of my house my car is waiting for me.

I climb in " to office," I said to my driver. Sometimes we visit clients offices or our sites. I open my laptop and started checking my emails and schedules which is sent by my PA.

The ride from my house to the office takes a good 25 minutes so I do some work while travelling.

The car stops at the entrance of my office which is a 17-floor building. This is our main branch situated in Mumbai.

The staff greeted me while I am passing them, I gave them a curt nod, some quickly starts working seeing me.

I press floor 10 on the keypad. I have a separate elevator. After reaching my floor which consists of my office, my PA s office, a big conference room. There is also a secretary in this floor.

Entering my office I place my laptop and on my table and start doing my work.

I have a good view of the city from my office. Every now and then I take some time to admire the view.

There wss a knock on the door. I said, "come in". My pa enters, " sir the files you asked for the shareholders meeting is ready "

I took the file from kept it on my desk after checking it a little bit. I asked her to schedule my meeting with a client and dismissed her.

My pa Divya is a no-nonsense lady, she is amazing in her work and won't concentrate on anything other than her work, which is good, because I have seen some of the PAs of my business partners, they do everything el other than their job and creates unwanted in your life. So I'm thankful for having her as my PA. She is 35 yrs old and married, has a 6 yr old kid.

It's Diwali week, so everyone is in festive mode. After a meeting with the team heads, I announced this year's bonus for my employees, which is the sum of their 2-month salary.

Everyone thanked me, their happy faces brought some kind of happiness to me as well. I also ordered lots of sweet boxes for them and their family.

This applies to all my employees in various parts of India working in my company.

I worked overtime for a few days and completed most of my work for the week because mom strictly ordered me to be available for all the rituals.

The day before Diwali

In the middle of working, I heard a knock, I am the only one in the office right now apart from the security.

So with a confused face, I said "come in ". There enters my best friend with a goofy smile. He said " Hey bro, still working ". I said, " just doing some last-minute checking, 10 mins it will do".

He said okay and gets comfortable on my couch by lying on it. I rolled my eyes at him and continued working.

He is Nikhil, my best friend. he is also my business partner, he owns several clubs and restaurants all over the country. He is the exact opposite of me. Extrovert and talkative.

After done with my work. We are now going home in my car. I am driving and he is in the passenger seat. We were talking the whole way. We share everything that happens in our life.

Reaching my house I park my car. As we enter the living room, workers are decorating and doing other preps for Diwali.

Mom comes out of the kitchen while talking to someone on the phone. Looking at us, she raises an eyebrow at us and hangs up the call.

I thought I was going to hear an earful for working the day before Diwali, but she moves to Nikhil and pinches his ear.

Mom starts scolding him " why didn't u come home for the entire week and I heard that you are not even having ur food properly".

Nikhil said" ahhhhhh, ahhhhhh mom I'm sorry, I got a bit busy with work."

Dad enters the living room hearing him screaming. Nikhil says " Dad please save me from your wife". Dad laughs at him says " U deserve that son".

My mom and dad treat Nikhil like their son. Nikhil lost both of his parents in an accident, when he was 10 yrs old, from that my parents took care of him as their own.

He was living with us till we finished school. For college, we both stayed in our college hostel. Nikhil took over his father's business which was handled by dad untill he can take over.

After talking sometime and having tea, snacks with mom and dad. We went upstairs to our rooms to freshen up. Yes rooms, Nikhil has his room in our house.

We did all the pujas and rituals for the day. With some amazing food. Every year only we 4 celebrate Diwali and other festivals together.

Evening we fired some crackers and spent a lot of time with my family.

Mom and dad are laughing at something that Nikhil is saying.....

These three are the most important people in my life, looking at their laughing faces, I realize I can do anything to make them happy.
