desire to win

After the tense meeting at Kirti’s home, Mr. Sharma leaves with his team, heading back to the hotel. Xiao Zhan had been calm throughout the meeting, but Mr. Sharma knows he has seen the small flicker of uncertainty in his eyes.

He picks up his phone and dials Xiao Zhan. The line rings a few times before Xiao Zhan answers.

"Mr. Sharma," Xiao Zhan’s voice is cool and steady, but there’s an underlying tension. "It’s done, right?"

Mr. Sharma pauses for a moment, glancing out the window as he replies. "Not quite yet. But it will be. Kirti’s family is giving in. They’ve agreed to the marriage, but I’m still not sure if Kirti will comply. Her father has his reservations, and I’m sure Kirti is not happy with the idea. We will have to be patient and persuasive."

Xiao Zhan’s voice becomes more intense. "I don’t care about her father’s doubts. I want Kirti. I’ve done everything to get her in my life, and I won’t stop now. I need her to understand that this marriage is for her own good. She will have a future, security, and everything she needs."

Mr. Sharma nods, even though Xiao Zhan can’t see him. "Yes, sir. I understand. But Kirti is not like other women. She’s different. She’s strong-willed, and it won’t be easy for her to accept this situation. We must tread carefully. If you push too hard, you might lose her before you even have a chance."

Xiao Zhan is silent for a moment, his thoughts racing. Finally, he speaks again, his voice softer but still firm. "I don’t care if it takes time. I want to win her over. She doesn’t understand what I can offer her, but I will make her see but my main goal is to make her mine, no matter what."

Mr. Sharma leans back in his chair, considering his next words carefully. "You’re right, of course. But remember, her family is important to her. They will be a constant factor in her decisions. If you push too hard, you risk alienating them. And that might ruin everything."

Xiao Zhan sighs, the weight of the situation settling on him. "I’ll handle it. But I need you to keep the pressure on her family. I can’t afford to wait too long. I need Kirti to be on my side, even if I have to convince her one step at a time."

Mr. Sharma listens to Xiao Zhan’s resolve and then responds, "I’ll make sure everything is in place. You’ll have what you need to move forward. But, be patient, Xiao Zhan. Winning a woman’s heart takes time. She’s a challenge. But, that’s what makes it interesting, right?"

There’s a moment of silence before Xiao Zhan’s voice fills the quiet room again. "I’m prepared. Let’s make this happen."

As Mr. Sharma ends the call, he can’t help but feel a twinge of concern. Xiao Zhan is a man who doesn’t like to lose, and when he sets his mind on something, he gets it. But Kirti is not an object to be won. She’s a person with her own dreams and desires. And though Mr. Sharma has seen his fair share of manipulation and control, he wonders if Xiao Zhan truly understands the gravity of what he’s doing.

The next day, as Kirti continues to grapple with the pressure from all sides, Mr. Sharma watches the situation unfold, ready to implement his next move. He knows the game isn’t over yet, and there’s still a long road ahead before Xiao Zhan can fully claim his prize.

The quiet tension between the forces at play is palpable, and Mr. Sharma, ever the strategist, knows this delicate balance could tip at any moment.

And Kirti, for all her determination, is unaware of the next twist that will change everything for her.
