Vacation

After facing a string of challenges, Raj felt it was time for a break. Turning to Arundhati with a gentle smile, he suggested, "Arundhati, let's go on vacation. We've been through a lot lately, and I think you need some time to relax."

Arundhati's eyes sparkled with excitement at the prospect of a getaway. Despite their mutual understanding that theirs was a physical relationship, she couldn't deny the fondness she felt for Raj. "That sounds wonderful, Raj," she replied, a hint of enthusiasm in her voice.

Raj called in NPTV channel office and ordered few people to manage channel, With their plans set, Raj and Arundhati found themselves on a secluded beach in the Maldives, surrounded by crystal-clear waters and powdery white sand. The air was filled with the soothing sound of waves gently lapping against the shore, creating a serene backdrop for their vacation.

As they lounged on the beach, soaking in the warmth of the sun, Raj couldn't help but notice the way the light danced in Arundhati's eyes, casting a soft glow on her radiant face and her body as she was in her bikini. Arundhati, too, felt a flutter of excitement every time Raj's gaze lingered on her. There was something about the way he looked at her, with a mixture of tenderness and longing, that made her heart skip a beat.

He approached her slowly, his footsteps leaving imprints in the sand, and took her chin in his hand, passionately starting to kiss her. Their embrace was filled with a longing that transcended the physical, igniting a fiery passion between them as they lost themselves in each other's arms.

The days passed, Raj and Arundhati found themselves drawn closer together, their connection deepening with each passing moment. Whether they were exploring the vibrant coral reefs or simply enjoying each other's company under the starlit sky, they couldn't deny the undeniable chemistry between them.

And as they watched the sun set on another beautiful day in paradise, Raj took Arundhati's hand in his. "Arundhati, as we are close enough, let me tell you this," he began, his voice filled with sincerity. "The reason that I am avoiding love is that I have big ambitions and dreams, and because of that, I don't want to be tied down by love. One day, you will definitely be part of my dream, even if it's small. You will always have a place in it if you stay by my side."

Arundhati listened intently, feeling a mixture of emotions swirling within her. Despite her own feelings for Raj, she understood his perspective and respected his honesty. Gently squeezing his hand, she replied, "Raj, I appreciate your honesty. And I already know this, I truly appreciate you. You've always been there for me, and now, I want to be there for you too. From this day onwards, I promise to stand by your side, supporting you in every way I can. Let's cherish the moments we have together and support each other in pursuing your goals."

With a shared understanding and a renewed sense of appreciation for each other, Raj and Arundhati embraced, knowing that their bond was stronger than any label or commitment. As they watched the stars twinkle in the night sky, they knew that they were living in the moment, cherishing every precious second together.

In the morning, a man lay naked in bed with a beautiful woman beside him, both covered by a white bedsheet that concealed their naked bodies. They were both in a deep sleep, having spent the night in passionate intimacy. Both were exhausted from their exertions.

Raj was in deep sleep when a phone rang, abruptly breaking his and Arundhati's slumber. Rubbing his eyes, Raj glanced at the screen of his phone to see it was a call from one of his men, Vijay, who managed Raj's jewelry shops in Vishakhapatnam. Raj answered the call, his voice tinged with irritation, "Vijay, you've called me early in the morning. This better be urgent, otherwise you'll face the consequences."

"Boss, it's very urgent. You know that the business we do in Vishakhapatnam, we deposit all the money in the bank, right?" Vijay said urgently.

"Vijay, don't waste my time. Get to the point," Raj replied impatiently.

"The point is, the money we've deposited in the bank has been stolen. The thief has stolen around 15 billion (1500 crore) from the bank, and among that, we had a deposit of around 2 billion rupees (200 crore). It's all over the news," Vijay explained, his voice filled with concern.

Upon hearing this, Raj quickly got out of bed and made his way to the television, turning on the news channel to confirm. The news anchor on the channel was reporting, "Yesterday, Friday night, Bittu and his gang robbed VCIB bank, stealing 1500 crore." The anchor continued, "Ravidra Narayan, a witness in the case, helped the police catch Bittu. Although Bittu has been apprehended, the stolen money has yet to be recovered."

Arundhati emerged into the hall after being awoken from her sleep. Sensing the tension in Raj's demeanor, she approached him with concern etched on her face. "Raj, what's wrong? You seem a bit tense," she remarked, noticing his anxious expression when he received a phone call and swiftly turned on the TV afterward.

As Arundhati watched the news on TV, she learned about the robbery orchestrated by someone named Bittu, who had stolen a staggering 1500 crore rupees. Despite his capture, the authorities had yet to recover the stolen money, and the investigation was ongoing. Arundhati couldn't help but feel a sense of surprise at the enormity of the stolen amount, but she couldn't understand why Raj seemed tense.

Turning to him with furrowed brows, she asked, "Raj, why are you so tense? Is everything okay?" She couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to the situation than what was being revealed on the news.

Raj, massaging his temples with a troubled expression, turned to Arundhati and said, "Arundhati, it seems like our vacation is over. Did you see the news? That 1500 crore includes my 200 crore as well." His words hung heavily in the air, casting a shadow over their peaceful retreat. Arundhati's eyes widened in shock as she processed the implications of Raj's revelation, realizing the gravity of the situation.

Raj was still on the call with vijay, "Boss, what should we do?" Vijay asked. After thinking for some time, Raj replied, "I'm coming."
