"Rajeev none of this companies are best option for acquisition right now. Find some more companies which are loss-making and on verge of shutting down.", Vivaansh said while going through the file which Rajeev had given him another day.

"There is one company which might be best for acquiring right now.", Rajeev informed peeking Vivaansh's interest as he said, "Which company?"

Rajeev kept one file on table and Vivaansh started going through the file while waiting for Rajeev to elaborate the content inside.

"Maheshwari Chain of Companies.", Rajeev said and took a pause to look at Vivaansh who looked a bit satisfied with the content in the file before he continued saying more, "This company is comparatively small yet has prominent place in the market. It was established by Ratan Maheshwari in 1989 and now his son Virat Maheshwari is the owner of the company. There were already problems going on in the internal management of the company since last three years but today morning the share price suddenly dropped drastically and the company is currently in very bad position. Initially Maheshwari and Goenka companies were going to have merger under the covers of alliance of their children Meera Maheshwari and Rehan Goenka but--"

However something took Vivaansh's interest as he suddenly sat attentive and look towards Rajeev asking, "Who were going to get married?"

"Virat Maheshwari's daughter Meera Maheshwari and Dharamveer Goenka's son Rehan Goenka.", Rajeev said after checking into the file once again and Vivaansh frowned as he felt that he had heard of this name before.

~Hope to never see you again Mr. Rehan Goenka.~

Vivaansh remembered that he heard this name from that unknown girl he collided with when she was having an argument the other day in the restaurant.

"They were about to tie the knot next week but now i got the internal information that the marriage is called off. Though this news is not confirmed yet.", Rajeev informed when Vivaansh asked him to continue with the information.

"Who called off the marriage?", Vivaansh, even though he knew, asked to re-confirm and Rajeev immediately replied, "Goenkas withdraw saying that now the company is on verge of going bankrupt and there is no chance of merger of the two companies. So they withdraw and canceled the marriage."

Vivaansh nodded while pondering over something very deeply whereas Rajeev continued giving more information about the company.

"Rajeev, send the best deal we can offer to Virat Maheshwari and tell him that Malhotras want to acquire his company. I have gone through their statics and even though currently the company is loss-making, I am sure we can convert the loss into profit in coming few years.", Vivaansh ordered before going back to do his work and Rajeev nodded in affirmation to his command before walking out of the cabin.

"Meera, where were you? Where had you gone?", Radhika asked swiftly walking towards Meera as soon as she saw her daughter entering the house.

Meera looked at her mother for brief of seconds before she whispered in low voice, "I had gone to meet Rehan."

Radhika looked at her with wide eyes being shocked as she asked, "You already know?"

"I had heard you and papa by mistake in the morning when you were talking about the marriage being called off.", Meera replied casting her gaze still on her intertwined fingers and Radhika pursed her lips together to stop herself from crying at her daughter's destiny.

"I know how you might be feeling but I am sorry that I cannot do anything for you.", Radhika said as she caressed Meera's hair apologizing for whatever is happening.

"But this is good that all this happened before marriage and we came to know that he was not interested in you but only in our company. If something like this would have happened after marriage, then how much he would have bothered you.", Radhika said further to show positive side of the situation to Meera, trying to mend her broken heart.

"I know Mom and I am fine.", Meera said with a small smile before looking around as she asked, "Where is papa? Is he ok?"

"He was a little worried about all this happening right now but you don't worry. He will be fine very soon. He got a call regarding some business deal and he just went to meet those people.", Radhika said and Meera nodded before saying, "Mom, Kanhaji (lord Krishna) will make everything fine. You don't worry. Daadi (grandmother) always used to say that if we get something that we like, then it is good, and if not, then it is even better because may be God has planned something much better than that for us."

Radhika nodded with a smile amidst tears before hugging Meera who hugged back her mother with some tears in her eyes.

However much she did not wanted to marry under Rehan for some business deal but somewhere she had started developing little bit affection for Rehan. But she never knew that the things were going to end like these between them.

"Hello Mr. Maheshwari, I am Rajeev Sinha from Malhotra Group of Industries.", Rajeev greeted professionally after taking seat in front of Virat as they sit into one of the hotel under Malhotra's name for a meeting.

Since the media was eager to fetch even a small news about Maheshwari at this moment, Vivaansh asked Rajeev to take proper care about keeping this meeting as confidential as possible until the deal is finalized. And so he asked Rajeev to call Virat to one of the Malhotra's hotel for meeting to ensure confidentiality.

"Well, I am sorry to hear about whatever your company is going through right now. And so Mr. Vivaansh Malhotra, Owner and CEO of Malhotra Group of companies has a proposal for you." Rajeev informed and Virat sat attentive as he knew that he needed to grab all the chance he get at this moment to save his family business.

"Mr. Malhotra wants to acquire your business and he is ready to pay 30% more than market price for your business. Plus all the loss, investors payments, dues and debts will be bored by Malhotras'. Here is the file which has contract papers with all the other important terms and conditions included inside. You can take your time and give you response within one week.", Rajeev informed keeping a blue color file along with Malhotras' business card on the table in front of Virat who took the file and started going through the contract papers.

Virat went through the papers for few minutes before looking back at Rajeev as he said, "I am ready to sign this contract."

Rajeev frowned more in shock as he did not expected Virat to agree to the offer easily but then he nodded as he said, "Well then you can sign the papers and give them to me. I will get them signed by Mr. Malhotra and then will send you a copy of them before tomorrow evening. Do you some special condition which you want me to add to the clauses of contract?"

Virat closed the file as he nodded and said, "Yes I have one condition."

Rajeev who knew that no way Virat can agree to sign the contract had seen this coming and he nodded asking, "What condition?"

"I want to meet Mr. Malhotra.", Virat said and Rajeev looked a little shocked and then perplexed about what to do.
