"What's the status of acquisition documents? Are they ready?"

"Yes sir. They are ready and kept in your office. Just your signatures are left."

" Cool! Thanks Teddy! What's in my schedule next?" A young man in a yellow suit was getting out of the elevator and going towards his cabin. On the way, the employees of that company were getting up to greet him. He was answering them with a slight nod and a very sweet smile. Following him was the secretary of that man in the black suit, running with a tablet in his hand.

"For the last time, sir, it's Ted not Teddy. For now you are free but you have a family dinner at Roy mansion tonight followed by a meeting with Shree's." 

After listening to the mention of family dinner, the man stopped there. The secretary got scared that he might have said something wrong. Then the young man turned back and told him, keeping his smile intact. "Cancel it! Cancel all my evening plans. Specifically the dinner. And call the Shree's now. I want no disturbance in the evening." Saying this he continued walking.

"But sir, the meeting presentation with Shree's is not ready yet. How will you do it?" Secretary Ted raised a question.

" With this." The man pointed towards his head. " Who proposed the idea? Me. Who's going to present it? Me. Then what's the issue? I have what is needed to convince anyone. What are they?" 

"Facts and smiles." The secretary replied with a boredom in his voice as if this was his everyday thing.

" Correct! Let's go!" Looking at him, anyone would say that he is a cheerful person. No one would ever doubt that such a personality would have any pain or sorrow in his life.

I am Jay Roy. Deputy CEO of the Roy family and business. Today I am a very successful businessman. I am the son of people who together laid the foundation of this business at a very young age. My parents strictly believed in winning. Because of their belief I was named so. With a belief that I will always be victorious. (A/N- 'Jay' means 'victory'.)

People feel that achieving this level of success at such a young age is in my blood, all thanks to my overachiever parents. But that’s wrong. The confidence which made me eligible for this position was given by her.  All the credit for me being like this today goes to my first love, Muskan. (A/N- 'Muskan' means 'smile'.)

Muskan’s first memory in my mind is also very special. Even then she was spreading a smile on someone else's face, regardless of what people thought about her. Such is my Muskan. A Smiling, playing, jumping, falling, happiest girl. Such was the girl whom I fell in love with for the first and last time in this life.

Today after 10 years I am going to meet her, at our school reunion.  I am very excited, I’ll see my Muskan today. I don’t know how it’ll go. But I won’t leave her this time. not at all. Now I will never repeat that mistake again. I will show my love to her confidently without any fear. I will always be with her and protect her. I will never leave her side. Never Ever.

Or something similar were my thoughts while getting ready in my room for the reunion. But fate wanted something else. That's why everyone is visible in this party today, except her.

Why?
