Raina's House

Rajveer looked at Naina and said helplessly "Sirf ki galti.. Mera bhai mere paas hoke bhi door hai"

Naina held his hand and said "mujhe tum par bharosa hai Raj.. tum sab thik kar doge.."

Mishka made a sound, it seemed she also had trust on her father. Naina and Rajveer looked at her.

"Dekha hamari beti ko bhi uske papa pe trust hai" Naina replied.

Rajveer smiled and picked Mishka in his arms. He started to play with her and Naina admired them.

The next morning, Manvi woke up and thought about Aarav. She held her teddy bear in her arms and talked to it "Di sahi kehti hai.. Main paagal hun.."

She sighed, she really wanted to meet him once but Rajveer denied and reason was unknown.

"Mil nahi sakti call toh kar sakti hun" Manvi said with a smile.

She picked up her phone and dialled Aarav's number but it was unreachable. She thought "iska number change ho gaya kya..."

Manvi sighed and made a face. "Aur waise bhi shaadi ho gayi uski.. Mujhe ab uske baare mein soch na nahi chahiye" Manvi sighed painly but it is difficult to convince her heart which still beats for Aarav. Afterall, he is her true and first love.

She heard Rajveer's voice from outside. She quickly got up and in the process hit her leg to the bed "ouch ouch.."

She walked out "Arghh.. Ye pair"

Naina eyed her and sighed "phir lagayi chot isne.."

Manvi passed an innocent look to her.

She rolled her eyes towards Rajveer and asked "Aap kab aaye jiju?"

"Kal raat ko" Rajveer replied.

Manvi teased him "Ahan.. mannu se chupke chupke aaye aur chupke chupke jaa bhi rahe they" hitting his shoulder lightly.

Rajveer glared at her.. "Aisa kuch nahi hai.."

"Aisa hi hai jiju.. Haa ab mujh bechari ko puchega kaun?" She said dramatically.

"Ho gaya drama shuru.." Naina said, tapping her head from behind.

Manvi looked at her.. "Di.. ab yahi mera kaam hai okay.." she said.

Rajveer asked "haa.. Haa aur tumhari job?"

Manvi replied "wahi dhundhni hai.."

"Kyun?? Mere office mein ek vacancy hai waha karlo" Rajveer said, so that she doesn't miss Aarav and gets busy in work.

Manvi smiled.. "Par jiju.. Aapke office mein" she hesitated.

"Kyun nahi kar sakti ho? Come on.. Naina bolo na isko"Rajveer said eyeing at Naina.

"Sahi kah raha hai Raj.. karle.. Ghar mein rahegi toh mujhe aur Mishka ko paagal kar degi" Naina replied with a little laugh.

Manvi passed her a look.. "Huh.. thik hai kar leti hun toh main ready hoke aati hun" she ran back to the room.

After 30 minutes, Rajveer and Manvi left for RN corporations. His phone ranged, he stopped the car at the side and answered it "haa.. Thik hai main aata hun"

Rajveer disconnected the call, he drove off. He stopped the car in front of office "Manvi tum andar jao.. Meri manager tumhe sab samjha degi"

Manvi questioned "aap kaha jaa rahe ho?"

"Zaroori kaam se.. Aata hun thodi der mein" he replied with a smile.

Manvi stepped out of the car and Rajveer drove off. Manvi took the auto and asked him to follow the blue car. "Chal mannu detective ban jaa.." Manvi thought.

The car stopped at the corner, Manvi paid the auto driver and followed Rajveer. He was very angry with the person and shouting at him. Manvi was confused and whispered "ye jiju daant kisko rahe hai.." she could not see the person's face as his back was facing her.

Rajveer left after 5 minutes, Manvi followed the person but he disappeared. Manvi headed back towards the RN corporations.

She reached and thought Rajveer will be at office but he had not turned up. She was really suspicious.

The manager informed her about the work and Manvi began working. In the evening, she went back home.

Manvi asked "Di? Jiju kyun mujhe Aarav se milne nahi de rahe?"

"Mannu uss ghar mein beizzati ke alawa kuch nahi milta hai.. Rajveer jo kah raha hai maanlo.. Hmm:" Naina said, patting her head.

Manvi smiled and was convinced. They are elders, she must listen to them. Manvi kept her head on her lap, Naina smeared her head "thik ho na.."

"Yes Di.." Manvi replied with a smile.

Two weeks Later

Shekhawat Mansion

Rajveer returned home, he heard a noise from the terrace. He rushed upstairs and saw Aarav lying on the wall.

Rajveer walked towards him "Aarav.. Yahan kya kar rahe ho"

Aarav eyed him and said "Aaj aakhiri raat hai iss ghar mein" he laughed.

Rajveer was confused with his words but more scared he might fall. He held his hand "chalo neeche aao"

Aarav denied and looked to the other side "nahi.. Acha lag raha hai yahan"

He shouted "kal Anand Singh Shekhawat ka the end.."

Rajveer scolded him "maine kaha neeche aao"

Aarav eyed him innocently. He got down and left from there. Rajveer sighed..

"Ye kya bol raha tha.. Kal Anand Singh Shekhawat khatam" Rajveer whispered.

The next day, Rajveer read the newspaper and was shocked. He turned on the television and saw Shekhawat industry closing down.

Rajveer smiled "ab shayad Dad aap sambhal jayenge.. Itni uchayi se girne ke baad"

Manvi called him and informed that Mishka was not well. Rajveer left the house immediately. He reached the clinic.

Rajveer asked Naina "kya hua Mishka ko?"

"Viral fever hai Raj bacho ko hota rehta hai.. Mannu ne bekar mein tumhe pareshan kar diya" Naina informed him.

"Nahi.. Mishka tumhe meri zaroorat hai..main tumhare saath hi rahunga abse" Rajveer said as they are his family.

Naina was surprised and asked "lekin..."

Rajveer held her hand and said "Ab sab thik hoga"

He told her something, she looked on at him and agreed.

Shekhawat Mansion

Anand returned home, he was dull. The company which he was running from the past 35 years was taken over. He had nothing now, everything ended and no one lended him money to help him in bad times.

For 10 months, his reputation was at risk and today it all ended. He was so frustrated, he heard a loud music sound.

His eyes fell on Aarav who was dancing and celebrating his loss. He clapped "sab khatam.."

He moved to the servant and said "aap jao.. Ab ye insaan aapko paise nahi de sakta iske paas hai hi nahi"

"Aarav baba.." He was an old servant. He looked at him emotionally.

Anand stood up and turned Aarav towards him. He slapped repeatedly and yelled at him "tumhari wajah se main barbaad ho gaya.."

"Kisne kaha tha tumhe company ke shares Tina ko dene ke liye" Anand shouted at the core.

Rama came and stopped him "Chodiye use.."

Anand pushed her away in anger, Rama dropped down on the floor. Aarav looked at her and was shocked. He looked at Anand and raised his hand on him "Aapne maa ko dhakka kaise diya?"

Anand was stunned that Aarav was about to slap him. "apne baap pe haath uthaoge?"

Aarav lifted his hand down, he lowered his gaze. Anand pulled out his belt and started to hit him with it.. "Sab khatam kar diya tumne.. Sab kuch khatam kar diya"

Aarav stepped back and fell, two arms grabbed him. Rajveer touched him, Aarav closed his eyes in pain. Rajveer had it enough, he thought his father would realise his mistake but instead he held Aarav responsible for it.

Rajveer eyed his mother, who was hurt on her head. He lost his temper, he took Aarav to the couch and made him sit.

He picked up Rama and wiped tears from her eyes. He then marched towards Anand and yelled "nahi sudhre aap? Sadak pe aa gaye ho phir bhi aapke deemag ne kaam karna shuru nhi kiya.."

"Tumhe kya farak padta hai?? You are not even part of family and business" Anand shouted at him.

"Sorry Dad.. par I am part of the family.. Jisko apne dhakka maara wo meri maa hai aur jisko aapne peeta hai wo mera chota bhai hai.." he said with a firing gaze and loud tone.

Anand eyed him and yelled "usi bhai ki wajah se ye sab hua hai"

"No Dad.. Alok Mehra ke saath deal aapne ki! Aarav ki shaadi bhi apne karayi toh kaun zimedari hai iss barbaadi ka?" he asked in a meaningful tone.

Anand was silent, Rajveer further confronted him "Pune bhi aapne hi bheja tha na usko.."

Naina entered the house along with Mishka. Rajveer said "ab aapke paas paisa nahi hai.. You are no more rich.. Ab aap naina ke parivar ke level ke neeche aa gaye hai.. Kyuki ye meri patni hai aur hamare paas sab kuch hai"

Anand looked on at him. Rajveer smiled.. "Mr. Anand Singh Shekhawat.. Aapka ghamand choor choor ho chuka hai ye sab jo kaam karte hai na inko paise dene ki bhi aukaat nahi hai ab aapki" he further confronted him.

"Kya hai aapke paas ab? Aapke bharosemand log unhone bhi aapka saath chod diya.. Family hai lekin usko aapne kabhi family nahi samjha.. Sirf control kari hai aapne sabki zindagi" Rajveer said in a hurtful tone.

He moved to Aarav and gave him support to get up. They walked towards the exit door, Rama followed them.

Rajveer turned back and said "kuch nahi hai ab aapke paas... rahiye akele aur sochiye galti meri aur Aarav ki thi hamesha ya aapki"

Everyone walked out of the house leaving Anand lonely.
