Vihaan and Monika – A New Journey Begins
Vihaan looked at Monika and asked,
"Monika, forget all this. I'll take care of it. Just tell me—where are you from? Are you a local from Chandigarh?"
Monika responded calmly,
"I'm from Mansa, Punjab. I went to the U.S. for my finance studies, but my parents wanted me to build my career in India. So, I chose Chandigarh because it feels familiar—many Punjabis live here, making it feel like home."
Vihaan nodded. "I see. And where are you staying now?"
Monika smiled slightly. "For now, I've been staying in a hotel for the past few days, but I'm looking for a good rental place."
Hearing this, Vihaan grinned. "Then let's go buy you a house!"
Monika was stunned!
She stared at Vihaan in disbelief. "A house? But what about the money?"
Vihaan laughed. "Don't worry about that. From today, you're working under me. And my employees are not just employees—they're family. And you always take care of your family, right?"
Monika had no words. There were too many questions in her eyes.
Without waiting, Vihaan called for a cab, and soon, they were on their way to a real estate company's office.
Vihaan and Monika – Searching for a New Home
Since Monika was still wearing Vihaan's oversized clothes, their first stop was a mall.
Vihaan tried to get her some high-end branded outfits, but Monika was a simple girl. She picked only what was necessary, making a mental note to return every penny to Vihaan later.
Once done, they headed straight to Skyline Infra Estates, a prestigious real estate company.
Vihaan and Monika – Facing Insult
As they stepped into the office, it was bustling with activity—
Some people were examining building blueprints.
Others were discussing miniature models of luxury villas.
A long queue stood at the registration counter, where prospective buyers were booking their dream homes.
As Vihaan and Monika approached the reception desk, a woman named Ritu glanced at them.
She had a snobbish, arrogant expression as she asked,
"Yes? What do you need?"
Without hesitation, Vihaan replied,
"We want to buy a house."
Ritu was already in a bad mood. She scanned them from head to toe.
Monika's simple attire was still presentable, but Vihaan? His clothes didn't seem worth more than 500 rupees!
A look of disgust flashed across Ritu's face. She barely suppressed a mocking smile as she spoke with sarcasm—
"Our company doesn't deal with 'ordinary' properties. We only sell luxury villas, and even the cheapest one starts at 1 crore rupees. Are you still interested?"
Vihaan remained unfazed. "Yes, show me the listings."
But Monika, who had been holding onto his arm, whispered urgently,
"Vihaan, let's go. These houses are way too expensive!"
Crossing the Limits of Insult
Ritu's sharp ears caught Monika's whisper. Now, she couldn't control herself.
"Hahahaha! Look at this! Even they admit they can't afford anything here!"
The entire office burst into laughter.
Ritu threw another taunt,
"Before dreaming about crore-rupee villas, at least dress the part!"
Snickers and murmurs spread through the office—
"Are they joking?"
"Look at this guy—dressed in rags and talking about buying a mansion!"
"What a joke! He can't even afford decent clothes, and he wants a luxury home!"
Until now, Vihaan had stayed silent. But then…
Arun's Entry – An Old Rival Returns
A loud, familiar laugh echoed from behind—
"HAHAHA! Oye, pauper! Are you here to buy a house or beg for one?"
Vihaan turned around, and his face darkened.
Arun.
The same Arun who was Rishabh's close friend in college. The same one who always mocked Vihaan back then.
Arun grinned wickedly. "Hahaha! Brother, what is this joke? Do you even belong here?"
Ritu and Arun shared the same elitist mindset.
Ritu chimed in, "Oh yes! Looks like he used to be a joke in college, and now he wants to be a joke in the city!"
Arun stepped closer, dramatically addressing the crowd—
"Guys, I think this man lost his way! This is a place for crore-rupee deals. Even the servants here are better dressed than him! And he dares to walk in like he owns the place? Hahaha!"
Now, the entire office roared with laughter.
Vihaan's patience was wearing thin. His jaw clenched, and his fists curled. He was just about to retaliate when…
The Entry of Two Powerful Men
The main door opened, and two influential figures walked in.
As soon as the people saw them, the laughter stopped abruptly.
Because their names were enough to shake all of Chandigarh—
John Virani – Owner of Skyline Infra Estates.
Harjeet Singh – A former restaurant mogul who had recently sold his chain of "Eat Delicious" restaurants. However, this information had yet to be made public.
Suddenly, the entire atmosphere shifted…
Vihaan's Insult and Harjeet Singh's Entry
While Ritu and Arun continued mocking Vihaan and Monika, their jeers were suddenly interrupted.
The two powerful men had entered the office, and the staff instantly straightened up.
Harjeet Singh, in his thick Punjabi accent, joked,
"Oye John! What's happening here? This is not how you run a real estate business!"
John Virani, already looking stressed, tried to brush it off.
"Ah, nothing, brother! Just some minor issues…"
But then, noticing the commotion, he raised his voice—
"SILENCE!!"
Instantly, the office fell into a dead hush.
Ritu and Arun, who had been enjoying their mockery, froze in place.
John Virani's Anger and Ritu's Excuse
John glanced around, irritated. Some of his key investors were present, and he couldn't afford such a mess in front of them.
Ritu, who had been acting high and mighty, suddenly felt nervous. But forcing a smile, she greeted,
"Good evening, sir!"
John was in no mood for pleasantries. His voice was sharp as he demanded,
"What the hell is happening here?"
Ritu, now sweating, knew she had to spin the story in her favor.
Ritu's Lies
"Sir, this man—" she pointed at Vihaan, "was causing trouble! We politely explained that this place isn't for him, but he forcefully barged in!
He started demanding to see crore-rupee villas without any money!
Then, he began arguing and creating a scene, embarrassing our company in front of clients!"
As soon as John heard this, his face turned red with anger.
He signaled to the security guards,
"Throw him out immediately! And if needed, teach him a lesson!"
Harjeet Singh Recognizes Vihaan
But just then…
Harjeet Singh's eyes landed on Vihaan.
For a moment, he was stunned. Then, suddenly, he rushed forward, shouting in Punjabi—
"OYE MERA YAAR! OYE HERO! WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE?"
Harjeet's Surprise and John's Confusion
Harjeet had been ready to unleash a few curse words, but the moment he recognized Vihaan, he paused.
He looked at Vihaan… then at John…
John, confused by Harjeet's reaction, hesitated before asking,
"Harjeet… do you know him?"
Now, Ritu and Arun started sweating.
They realized they might have made a huge mistake.
What would happen next?
