So this is a story of the old draft of Dear destiny. It has nothing to do with the current 'DEAR DESTINY' story. This was the previous version which accidentally got deleted and I've decided to write it into a new story with some changes.
DHRUVANSH...
After showering and changing Theera walked to the office room and sat down on the ground in front of the couch looking at the book and the two keys eagerly waiting to open the book once the guys joined her.
"Where are they? These guys don't have any punctuality" Theera huffed.

"That's because you didn't give us a time limit" Dhruv walked inside the room shutting the door behind him and sat down on the couch.

"You don't even talk" Theera avoided his gaze.
"Why?" Dhruv frowned.
"Wow! You don't know why? Did you forget what you did back in the mansion?" Theera scoffed.
"Uhh...I don't! What did I do?" Dhruv asked innocently.
"You ki...." Theera trailed off and hit him with the book "Chi! Shameless man....".
"What! Why am I shameless? I don't know what you're talking about! What did I do?" Dhruv bent down from the couch moving his face closer to hers.
"You..." Theera sighed and narrowed her eyes before moving her face towards him and pecked his lips "That's what you did".
Dhruv blinked his eyes and laughed "You never fail to ammuse me".
Theera blushed as she avoided his gaze while the door opened and Karthik followed by Nik walked inside "Are you both arguing again?"
"Do you think I have no other work?" Dhruv looked at Nik boringly.
"Alright! Alright! Sit down! I'm going to open the book" Theera rubbed her palms together excitingly.
Nik sat on the couch on the other side of Theera while Karthik sat on the ground making Theera move back and lean onto the teapoy. She took the first key and inserted it in the first key hole but it didn't move so she inserted it in the second key hole and the key moved easily. She took the second key and inserted it in the first key hole moving both of them at the same time.

For a few seconds nothing happened then the keys moved on their own and the locks opened on the side of the book making Theera clap "Yay! I told you right! I would bring back the book. Now my mystery book, it's time to read you".
Theera opened the book to see an empty paper first and turned the page to see the palace sketch making Karthik say "I think it belongs to the painter! What's her name again?"
"Shatakshi! Turn the page girl! I'm excited" Nik insisted making Theera nod and turn the page only to widen their eyes looking at another sketch.
The trio looked at the sketch then at Dhruv who was looking at it with narrowed eyes. The staring contest went on between the sketch and Dhruv and Karthik was the first one to break the silence "Is it just my hallucination or does the sketch look like boss?"

"I don't think two people can have same hallucination Karthik" Nik shook his head.
Theera suddenly got up and walked towards the painting beside the balcony doors "Now, I understand why this painting feels familiar! It's our boss's face, how can we not recognise it" making Nik and Karthik walked towards her.
Nik put the sketch beside the painting and compared both of them "OMG! It is boss!" and then the trio turned towards Dhruv who was just staring at them without any expression.
"If you're done with your shocking states, shall we read what's in the book" Dhruv stated.
The trio walked towards the couch as Theera ask "Aren't you shocked?"
"Not really! We share the same blood so obviously I've got the same genes as this guy" Dhruv shrugged.
"There's something written on the left side" Nik pointed out.
"It's written in some other language" Karthik sighed.
"It's the same language the painter wrote her name in. We can use Google translate" Theera took her mobile from the tea poy and scanned the paragraph and in a few seconds it was translated into Telugu and English.
'The eyes I loved so much are looking back at me with hatred as he vowed to take his revenge no matter how many lifetimes it takes'
"So....Boss is reborn to take revenge?" Karthik looked at Dhruv.
"But on who?" Theera asked.
Nik was thinking deeply looking between Theera and Dhruv "Umm...there's no such thing. Not all the vows and promises comes true".
"Yeah! That's true! But me finding this book and the boss purchasing this palace whose previous owner looked like him doesn't sound like a coincidence to me" Theera stated.
