From Enmity to Friendship

The two biggest business tycoons of the city, Aryan Mehra and Vivek Rathod, were bitter enemies. Their competition was not limited to business, but was also a topic of discussion in society. While Aryan was known for his honesty and hard work, Vivek was known for defeating his rivals with his sharp mind and cunning. There was an equal competition for supremacy on both sides. They never missed any opportunity to criticize each other. Both were immersed in their egos but neither of them had any idea when circumstances could change.

A decade ago, both of them started their companies at the same time. In the initial days, they were friends, but they had a disagreement over a big government tender. Vivek won the tender by defeating Aryan, but Aryan believed that there was dishonesty in it. From then on, their enmity started. Both of them now often tried to defeat each other.

Time passed, but their competition did not decrease. One day, both of them got an offer to collaborate for a big international project. It was an important project given by the government, and the condition was that both of them had to complete it together. They could not complete it separately. The tender was very big. If they were separated, it was certain that a foreign company would get this tender. Because in terms of status and experience, it was certain that they would lose alone.

At first, both of them tried to reject this offer, but when they realized how beneficial it could be for their business, this one project would earn so much, which they would have earned in at least ten years. Vivek called Aryan. Aryan, if you want, we can have a meeting about this. Okay, we will meet today evening at Hotel Pratap and talk. You meet me along with the staff associated with the project, I am reaching on time. After years, both of them were finally talking to each other. Both of them were forced to come together today. After the meeting, both of them reluctantly decided to work together. We are only going to work together on this project Vivek, I don't want to have any further dealings with you. Aryan warned Vivek at the end. It's okay, I am not ready for the future. Vivek also replied in a reply.

The project was received. During the work, both of them slowly started understanding each other's point of view. Aryan realized that Vivek's cleverness was limited to winning only, but he was a good person. At the same time, Vivek understood that Aryan's honesty was his biggest strength.

One day, when an outside company tried to ruin this project, both of them together protected their business and the country's interests. They had forgotten their competition. The foreign company had to face defeat.

Now the issue of national interest was also raised before them. And nothing is more important than the country, for a patriotic person. Both of them were now working with double enthusiasm to finish the project before time.

After the project was over, their relationship took a new turn. Instead of working against each other, they began to recognize each other's strengths. They realized that if they worked together, they could build a bigger empire than they could alone.

Their companies now started working on new projects together, and their old rivalry turned into a deep friendship. Where once they were busy bringing each other down, now they were busy lifting each other up.

Sometimes, the people we hate the most can help us move forward the most.
