This place had a weird attachment to her . Grief sure does strange things to the brain . Past life, both her dad and brother died . But in her dreams, they were always inside or around their home . Her subconscious wanted to keep them alive here, at her home .

She had been plagued by a nightmare of her auction night when her home was sold . She couldn"t save the place which held her memories, a place her dad built brick by brick . Within the walls was his struggle to grow, the house was his pride . A symbol of his trial, Tej Rai loved it .

In some way, when the mansion changed owners.h.i.+p, the last string of hope broke off in her past life .

After lunch, she wandered around the place, glancing at every nook and corner as every memory invoked a warm feeling . The photos on the wall, the garden, a corner on the roof where she would squeeze in her childhood, her writing desk and books .
Her room was still the same . All grey and white . Plain and boring! Yet she loved every little thing in it .
A home is not a place . . . It"s a feeling!

The comfy atmosphere around the place settled her mood . In the hall, she was watching a movie when Dad came to Vivan .

"Look here, Doesn"t this model look so good?" He exclaimed . In his hand was a magazine . Apparently, he was talking about some girl in it .

Even after stretching herself, Ira couldn"t see the magazine clearly . She glanced up at Vivan, waiting for his reaction .

He nodded!

"Yeah, like a fairy descended from heaven," he said . Vivan had a sweet smile with puppy eyes .

"But don"t you think the smile is frigid?"

"No way, it"s so warm . " He refused and pulled the magazine from her dad"s hand . "Even her personality is great . "

On hearing this ira"s eyes widened . "How do you know her personality is good?"

"This man is so conceited, opportunist, rouge . " she casually took a bite of french fries . Her eyes were on the man on the screen but everyone knew who it was directed .
"Don"t think about her, she is married," Tej smirked .

"He is married as well! Ira snorted .

p.i.s.sed off she glanced at Vivan and with their eyes in contact, she split a french fry in two and bit it hard . Her eyes reeked horror yet he smiled in return .

"Let me see "the beauty"," She said in an irritated tone and walked to them . next moment she pulled off the magazine from Vivan"s hand .

Her eyes turned from the magazine to Vivan . Looking dumb, "A beauty indeed . " she said and shrugged her shoulders .
Everyone in the hall couldn"t help but laugh out loud .

"What happened?" Tara was confused till Sia mumbled something in her ear . She laughed loud as well .

In anger, Ira flung the magazine at Vivan"s face . "You . . . " she turned and looked daggers at her dad .

"Don"t hurt my beauty," He pulled the magazine gently caressed the face on the magazine .

In fact, the beauty was Ira herself . She got on the first page, awarded as a businesswoman of the year . It is considered as one of the most prestigious awards for businesswomen and entrepreneurs nationwide .
Ira who was the driving force behind their pharmaceutical business made her way to the top .

Everything was planned . They wished o give Ira a surprise and what a surprise it was!
