You are my FLAME

"Dev...Dev..breakfast ready, come down." - Sarada shouted from the staircase.

“Coming Mom," Dev replied and came to the dining table in his full designer suit.

It was a beautiful mansion poised majestically on a prized two-acre estate with timeless elegance and stately sophistication.

Meet SatyaDev, the most eligible bachelor in Chennai city.

At such a young age, he had built his empire in the hotel industry. He is also the owner of a renowned chain of star hotels, which spread across the world. Dev is a cold-hearted, arrogant, self-centered man and also a Casanova type. He lives by his own rules, and with just a snap of his fingers, he can get whatever he wants.

"Good morning Mom, wow! You made poori with potato today?"

(Poori- an Indian whole wheat bread formed in flat rounds of dough that puff up when deep-fried)

"Yeah, your favorite right?"

"Yes, but how many times I had told you, not to strain yourself in the kitchen, then for what we have cooks?"

"They may cook, but Mom's preparation comes along with love and care."

"If you say so!"

They both started eating. Sarada choked her food after hearing Dev's next statement.

"Mom, tomorrow we have to visit Mr.Raja's residence to fix my marriage."

"What?"

"Yeah, a deal came. Mr.Raja promised to invest a big share in our company when I marry his daughter. He also promised to merge with some of our businesses. You know they are the number one in this industry, if we merge, our company will rise to the number one position. It's a very good deal, what you think?"

Sarada doesn't know whether to cry or laugh at her son's business mind. Composing herself, she calmly replied,

“Dev, this is not your business, your life; you have to live with that girl for your lifetime. There must be some attraction or love, and simply for the money, you can’t do this. By God’s grace, we are rich enough now, then why you are thinking like this. You have to be content with what you have. I meant not to say you should not develop our business. You are still young and energetic, and I am sure you will reach great heights one day. But Marriage is a lifetime commitment; your wife would be your everlasting relation.”

“Everlasting relation, you very well know what relations did” - he laughed sarcastically.
