A girl clad in a beautiful floral white dress was running across the lake. Her hair was flying in the air and the air was filled with her giggling sounds. She turned around to look at the man behind her with a smile. He got lost in her hazel eyes and lost his balance, causing him to fall flat on the ground.
“Ahh,….” the man shouted in pain. He gazed around, only to realise that it was another dream of the same girl.
He stood up and walked into his washroom. As he splashed some water on his face, he thought back to the face of the girl in his dream.
“Who are you?
When I am going to meet you” He thought.
It was three years back when he first dreamed about this girl and from that day this dream became regular. From that day, he was dreaming about the same girl and the dream was also the same. At first, he was bothered by the dream, but soon he started to look forward to the girl in his dreams. He doesn’t know if that girl is in real life or not, but he was smitten by her hazel eyes and her cute face which would light up with her charming smile and her rosy lips which started to haunt him.
He has been searching for her for the past two years, but he was unable to find her. His mobile dinged indicating the incoming message. It was from his PA and manager, who happens to be his best friend, Aman Mathur.

Somewhere in Lucknow, there was hustle and bustle in a house. Everyone was busy with work as that household elder daughter is getting married today. In that busy house, there was one girl who was busy selling horses.
“Ahana, wake up.
How can you sleep late on my wedding day?” asked Chavi, Ahana’s sister.
“I am not sleeping.
I am taking a power nap,” Ahana said with her eyes closed.
"Oh really, wake up on the count of three or else I am going to call Aunt," Chavi announced and was about to begin the count.
"I am up" she heard her dear sister's voice
Ahana glanced at her sister with a serious face and soon they both ended up laughing.
"I am going to miss you, Chavi," Ahana said with a hint of sadness in her voice.
"Same here" Ahana pulled her sister in a hug, not wanting to be away from her.
"What are these girls doing?
Are they going to get ready today or tomorrow?" They heard their Aunt, Damini's voice.
"Let's get ready before Aunt steps in for her action," Ahana said, jumping out of her bed.
Ahana is a simple middle girl, living with her family in Lucknow city. She is a loving girl for her father and a naughty girl for her mother but for Aunt she is a troublemaker which happens to be true.
------
Ahana and Chavi walked out of their room when they heard their parents and Aunt's voices. As they moved closer, they felt that they were having a serious conversation.
"How can they ask for dowry on the wedding day? " Damini asked, glancing at her brother, Shashi.
A worried expression appeared on his face. "I think we have to keep our house on the mortgage to arrange money," Shashi said, the first thing that came to his mind.
"How can you do that?" His wife Rachana asked, being shocked.
"We don't have any other option. We can't let Chavi's marriage get cancelled," Shashi said, gazing at Rachana.
Ahana and Chavi were shocked to know the happenings, and it started to bother Ahana upon seeing her parents' worried expressions.
"How can they do it with us, Chavi?" Ahana said as anger started to build inside her.
"I don't know Ahana but how can dad make that decision?" She was shocked upon hearing her father's words.
"I am going to ask Aryan about it," Ahana said with a determined look. Aryan is the supposed groom of Chavi.
"But..." Chavi was interrupted by Ahana.
"No buts... I will go" With that Ahana walked past her sister.
**********
A huge building with an AR Fashion house written in the centre of it. To work in this office is the dream of every fashion designing graduate. The founder and CEO of the AR fashion house is ARNAV SINGH RAVICHANDRAN.
A black SUV appeared in front of the building and A man stepped out clad in a three-piece suit. The look on his face can scare anyone in this world. He is the unpredictable and mysterious man in the fashion world, and he is known as ASR in that world.
As he walked into the office, he was greeted by his employees. He called his PA after entering his cabin.
"Is everything set for the evening show?" He asked.
"Yes, Asr" he heard his PA, Aman's reply and followed by a few questions which were answered by his PA.
"So, the business matters are done, right?" Arnav bobbed his head.
"Have you found your Dream Girl in this city or not?" Aman asked.
Aman is the only person who knows about his dreams.
"No, and Meera is pressuring me to get married," Arnav replied.
Meera Ahuja is his elder sister. She is everything to him after their parent's death when he was fourteen years old. He was raised by his grandmother
Mother's mom
and her family. He came to Lucknow for a fashion show.
"Why don't you tell her about your dream girl?" Aman asked.
Arnav gazed at him with a 'Are you serious?' Look.
"Risky.
She will start showing me pictures of different girls and will ask whether she is my dream girl or not.
I can't take that risk" Arnav said, imagining in his head.
She will be a lovely sister, but when his marriage topic appears she will become the Queen of nagging according to him.
Aman laughed as he thought he was right.
"Arnav, I have booked tomorrow's flight tickets for Delhi" Aman informed him.
"Ok"
"I have a feeling that you are going to meet your dream girl soon," Aman said, showing his thumbs up.
"Hope so," Arnav said. "I will come directly to the venue," he said, stepping out of his office.
********
After sneaking out of her house, Ahana began her journey with a bike. She was hoping to get some help from Aryan. Suddenly, her bike came to a halt. She stepped down only to see that the tyre got a puncture.
"Oh my God, what am I going to do?" She mumbled, looking around. She started walking forward with the thought to hail a cab.
But after walking for a while, she felt someone's presence behind her. She turned around to see, only to find out that three to four people were following her. The lane was empty, and it ignited fear in her. She increased her pace and eventually started running and as she was about to change the lane a car came in front of her. She closed her eyes in fear, but before the car hit her, it came to halt.
Meanwhile, Arnav was on his way to the venue of a fashion show when suddenly a girl popped in front of his car. He breathed out in relief after applying breaks in time. He got angry and stepped out of the car to give peace of mind to that girl.
Seeing Arnav, people ran away. As he took a step closer to her, he got a clear vision of her face. He froze at the sight of her. His gaze was rooted on her face. He underwent many emotions in a few seconds. He was frozen and then became shocked and at last, a smile appeared on his face as the realization drew upon him. He was unable to believe his eyes. He took a step closer and observed that she was trying hard to keep her hazel eyes open and at last she lost her consciousness and was about to fall but Arnav held her in his arms.
He was struck when his arms came in contact with her body. He became sure that it was not his dream. The girl, who made his dreams beautiful was in his arms in the same white dress. He was lost in her beauty and was admiring her, forgetting that he was standing on the road. He came out of his dream world hearing the passing vehicle sounds and realised that she was unconscious. His mind worked fast, taking her in his arms he placed her in the passenger seat after fastening the seat belt. He drove towards the nearby hospital.
Halting the car in front of the hospital. He picked her in his arms and walked into the hospital. The doctors were attending Ahana and Arnav was pacing in the corridor.
"What happened to her?
Is everything alright, doctor?" Arnav asked upon seeing him walking out.
"Mr Ravichandran...... "
To be continued........
