Hi ..

Hello ..

Now let's begin the story and please ignore the grammatical mistakes.

**************"
Shree Mansion

Arjun came back from the island only to find the former bride and her family waiting for him. Frustrated, he closed his eyes and recalled the previous 16 matches arranged by his grandmother. This was the 17th match this month. If there were an award for bizarre matchmaking, his grandmother would definitely win two or three for all her efforts.

Uninterested, he glanced at the bride's family, who were eyeing everything greedily. He knew they were only here for his money, and he despised this drama to the core.

Just then, his eyes fell on his bestie, the "adha pagal " Abrahm, who was giving him a cheeky smile, mocking his predicament.

Adit and Anant, Arjun's younger siblings, were eating as if they had been fasting for years. They were least bothered by this drama. "This has become normal now," they muttered, munching on popcorn and waiting for the next act.

Arjun sat on the couch in the middle of the living room. Adit and Anant settled themselves on either side of him and teased him in low voices.

" Bhai , hone wali bhabhi bahut hot hai ."adit grinned

" Toh tanda paani se nahane ko bolo " Arjun scoffed

"Bhai, I think she's your soulmate. Look, even your tastes match." Anant continued

"Yeah, I noticed that too. Bhai is grumpy, and so is she. Bhai has bad taste, and so does she. Bhai's brain takes time to work, and so does hers..." Adit started his rantings but

He sensed someone's glare and saw his brother glaring at him for his comments.

"Sorry, Bhai, I accidentally told the truth." Adit blurted

*Hihihi*

He gave a smile that irritated Arjun even more.

To worsen the situation, Abrahm joined the conversation.

"Hey Adit, if your Bhai is your brother, and she's your sister, doesn't that make her your Bhai's sister too? Man, I miss my Aman. If he were here, he would handle this Ritu well." Abrahm implored

"No worries, Bhai. Aman Bhai is in Delhi right now for business. Once he returns, we'll invite this white witch, Ritu, again." Adit supported

"Will you guys stop your nonsense, or should I throw you out of the mansion??" Arjun shouted

They gulped in fear and stopped their blabbering.

"Rithu beta, tell us something about yourself." Dadi enquired

"Ji Dadi, as you know, my name is Rithu, Rithika. I am an influencer with 708k followers, and I have collaborated with big brands. Not only that, but I am also going to work on a project with Hrithik Roshan." Ritu former bride informed

"Beta, we're not here for a channel interview. Tell us something personal, like your education, hobbies, if you like cooking, music, dance, or anything like that." Dadi said

"Oh, you mean household things? Well, I can cook things like green tea, boiling water, curd, and such." Ritu implored

"Then my friend Arjun will starve to death..." Abrahm muttered under the breath

"Hey, there are so many servants at home, and..." Ritu scoffed

Arjun interrupted her by raising his hand.

"First, listen to my conditions." Arjun asserted

"Beta Arjun, what's the need for all this?" Dadi tried to interrupt bcoz she very well know about his intentions .

"First, you have to take care of your own expenses. I am not interested in wasting my money on useless things." Arjun sniffed

Adit and Anant gave a high-five behind Arjun's back.

"And after my death, all my property will go to my brothers. You won't get a single penny from my property, and before marriage, you have to sign a prenup agreement." Arjun continued

Rithu stared at him, mouth agape.

"And lastly, I already have a girlfriend. I am not going to leave her at any cost. So after marriage, our relationship will continue as it is. If you're okay with these conditions, then I'm ready for marriage." He said

Rithu and her family left in anger.

The senior gang, which included Avinash Srivastav (father of Arjun, Adit, and Anant), Mahesh Kurana (Abrahm's father), and Goutham Sharma (Aman's father), entered with wine glasses and sat on the couch.

"Arjun, how on earth will any girl agree to these conditions? I know this is all happening because of me, but trust me, your mom loves you " Avinash implored

"No, Mr. Srivastav. She is not my mom; she is Mrs. Srivastav, only your wife and my stepmother, who has never spoken to me directly." Arjun sniffed

"Sorry Bhai, I apologise on mom's behalf." Adit tried to convince Arjun

Arjun raised his hand as if to slap him but stopped midway and hugged him.

"Adit, and Anant, you two are my brothers, my life, and my everything. Don't you dare say sorry." Arjun grunted

"That's the thing, Bhai. Who respects their brother? I always disrespect you to your face." He tried to lighten the ambience

And he, too, hugged Arjun, who reciprocated the hug.

Dadi removed the evil eye from the trio and said,

"Still, Arjun, you have to get married, otherwise where will my great-grandchildren come from?" Dadi implored

"Dadi, do you need to get married to have grandchildren?" Abrahm growled

"What are you saying, you idiot?" Mahesh scoffed

"I mean, we can adopt babies, right?" Abrahm asserted

"Oh, I was thinking of something else." Goutham continued

"What were you thinking, uncle?" Adit said while grinning

"Shut up, idiot. (to Arjun) Arjun, maa is right. Now you have settled down in your life..." Goutham scoffed

"I'm already settled, uncle, and I don't need to get married." Arjun grumbled

"Oh, my dear Acchu, some things are necessary in life, like a life partner." Dadi asserted while settling beside him.

"Dadi, don't call me Acchu. I don't like it. And I don't need a wife. I can do everything myself; I can handle everything in this world alone. Nothing is impossible for me." Arjun opposed

"Oh, so put this toothpaste back in the tube, just like it was before." Pallavi teased to her brother Prateeksh):

"Di, you always make fun of me. You're a mean sister. Just watch, one day I will become very rich and bring all the happiness of the world to your feet." Prateeksh scoffed while making faces

"arey bacchi , I am already very happy. Focus on your studies." Pallavi replied while squeezing his cheeks

Just then, the doorbell rings, and she opens the door.

Surprise!

Anirudh and Shalini jumped from nowhere.

"My dear, there's some big good news!" Shalini exclaimed

"What? What happened?" Pallavi enquired

"I passed my civics exam. I have to go to Mussoorie for training." Anirudh implored putting a sweet in her mouth.

Pallavi jumped in joy and hugged her two life supporters. The three jumped with joy and shared their happiness.

"And I've got a seat in my dream college. I'm flying to Canada soon." Shalini continued

"Wow, all the happiness at once!" Pallavi exclaimed

"And with all this happiness, we need to have a party!" Anirudh asserted while side hugging prateeksh

---

The four went for dinner, cut a cake, and celebrated their success.

Prateeksh was eating his fifth ice cream, and Pallavi tried to stop him, but it was in vain because Anirudh took Prateeksh's side.

"You two will never change. I'll be back from the washroom." Pallavi said and went to washroom

Pallavi left for the washroom, and Shalini whispered to Anirudh.

"Anni, she's in a good mood. Just propose to her right now; there's no problem now." Shalini whispered as prateeksh also their with them

"No, once my posting is done, I'll propose as Anirudh Singh IPS, and if she agrees, she will be Mrs. Anirudh Singh IPS." Anirudh whispered back

"Great going, Mr. Shekhawat. I'm proud of you." Shalini tapped on his shoulder

And they ended their day on a good note, while on the other side of the story...

"Just rip his skin off! How dare he come in The Arjun's way!" Arjun raged in anger.

"Yaar Arjun, you know he's an ACP. We'll face issues in the future." Aman , his best friend and assistant, tried to make him understand the consequences

"Do you really think I give a damn about any of this?" Arjun growled

"Arey, listen, yaar..." Aman asserted

"Why am I not hearing his screams yet, you f*cking..." Aman grunted

Before he could complete his sentence, he heard a gunshot and the screaming sound of that ACP.

"Okay, kaam ho gaya hai, now listen..." Aman continued

But it's too late; Arjun already cuts the call.

"Ahh, this bloody psycho idiot and his anger issues. I know I have to call Abrahm; only he can handle him in this situation." Aman said to himself.

He immediately calls Abrahm and explains the situation-how ACP singh investigated Arjun and his deals, his conspiracy by moving files to arrest Arjun, and everything. Now, Abrahm also understands the situation and moves his car towards their office, where Arjun usually stays when he is angry.

"Yaar Arjun, itna gussa is not a good thing. You have to meet a therapist..." Abrahm sniffed

"I don't care if he arrests me or not, but how dare he tries to drag my brothers into this mess?" Arjun grumbled

"Okay, okay, I understand. He is a corrupt officer, so no issue, but I really care about your anger issues. Koi din tum khud regret karoge tumhare actions par." Abrahm implored

Arjun didn't say anything but just passed a cold yet dangerous smirk.

"I know, I know, kaand tum karoge, aur sambhalna mujhe padta hai hamesha. Well, I talked to the commissioner, and he will handle the situation. Phir bhi, main anticipatory bail ready karta hun." Abrahm grunted

"Well, subah se tum kaha the? I was looking for you in the morning." Arjun questioned

"Aaj Aradhya ki barsi thi na, so I was busy with my mom." Abrahm replied

"Shit, I could have forgotten this? How is aunty? Aur tum unhe chhod ke mere paas aa gaye..." Arjun enquired

"Well, hamesha ki tarah aaj bhi wo emotional ho gayi thi. It's been 18 years since we lost my sister in an accident. Aaj bhi woh dreadful event yaad hai, but mom never recovered from that loss. She loves her so much, you know? And don't worry, dad is with her, and she will be okay by tomorrow." Abrahm tried to look clam but Arjun understand him so well

"Chalo, aunty se milne chalte hain..." Arjun implored

He left without waiting for a reply, and Abrahm sighed in disbelief.

After a month

"Hello, we are calling from XYZ High School. Are we speaking with Prateeksh's elder sister?"

"Yes, main hi baat kar rahi hun. Ji, boliye." Pallavi replied

"Ma'am, Prateeksh ka tabiyat kharab ho gaya hai. Come and pick up your child, ma'am." Incharge of the school informed

"What? Kya hua? Theek hai, main abhi aati hun..." Pallavi got tensed

She immediately leaves for school, picks up Prateeksh, and takes him to the hospital.

The doctor checked him up.

"Darne ki koi baat nahi. Aapne kaha ki ice cream zyada kha liya hai. But for the safe side, hum kuch tests karengey. Kyu, champ?" Doctor asserted while checking prateeksh .

"Sorry, uncle. Actually, Anni ne party di thi, toh..." Prateeksh replied

"Prateeksh, tum mere ek kaam karoge beta?" Doctor growled

"Sure, uncle..." Prateeksh nodded

"Doctor Pratham ke pass mera ek file hai, lekar aana please." Doctor sent prateeksh

"Sure, uncle." He left the cabin, and the doctor's expression changed to sadness, which was not unnoticed by Pallavi.

"Uncle, kya hua? Is everything alright?" Pallavi inquired

"Nahi beta, I hope main jo soch raha hun, woh na ho." Doctor grunted

"Matlab?" Pallavi gasped

"Maybe Prateeksh is suffering from atrioventricular... that means a rare heart disease..." Doctor groaned

"Uncle..." Grasped

"Abhi main sure nahi hun, Pallavi. Ek baar tests hone do, we will see what the results are..." Doctor asserted

Pallavi got shattered by this news, and on the other side...

"Is this some kind of joke, Mahesh uncle?" Arjun shouted at the top of his lungs.

"No beta, it's not a joke. According to your Dadaji's will, this property belongs to the trust if you don't agree to the marriage..." Mahesh family lawyer asserted while showing Arjun dadaji will

"And you are telling me this one year after his demise? What kind of fun is this?" Arjun grumbled

"He clearly mentioned in his will that I have to disclose these clauses today only. And trust me, this is not the worst news so far. There's something even worse waiting for you..." Mahesh asserted

"Isse bhi worst news kuch ho sakta hai kya?" Arjun scoffed

"Don't challenge your Dadaji's foresight, beta. Woh aise hi mafia king nahi bane the, and he chose you as the next heir of this entire empire. Kuch toh baat hai tum mein, that's why he chose you..." Mahesh implored

"Ab dusra clause bhi bata do, Mahesh." Dadi continued .

"Haan, Maa." Mahesh nodded and He dropped another bombshell.

"And you have to get married within 30 days..." Mahesh implored , making everyone grasping

"What?? Uncle, do you even realise what you are saying?" Arjun grumbled in utter shock

"Of course, beta." Mahesh asserted

"Then, listen to my decision. I don't give any f*cking care about the property or anything. I am not interested in this marriage or drama..." Arjun groaned in cold yet dangerous voice

He said in his usual calm and cold voice, which sent shivers down their spines. His calmness was more dangerous than his angry reactions, but the saviours Abrahm and Aman knew very well how to handle this monster through some emotional blackmail.

"Very good decision, Arjun, keep it up. (Seeing Adit and Anant) Let's start practising from now on." Abrahm grumbled

"Kis cheez ka practice?" Adit asserted

"For begging. After losing the whole property, mafia log hame nahi chodenge, and tum dono ko waise bhi koi dekhne wala nahi hoga. And after Arjun's death, you will have to start begging on the road. So from now on, start practicing for that..." Aman growled

They both imagined the same.

The two were begging on the roadside, and some people were putting coins in their bowls. Adit was taking some money from Anant's bowl, and they both started fighting over that chillar... oops, coins.

"Shut your mouth, Aman, this is our family matter..." Ragini (Mother of Adit and Anant) scoffed

"Even though he is my family, Mrs. Srivastav, so stay in your limits." Arjun groaned in fury

Ragini shut her mouth immediately, a shiver running down her spine, her feet trembling because everyone knew about his anger issues. Only Abrahm and Aman could handle him when he was angry.

"Shanti se soch le, this is not a joke. Just leave this shitty property matter aside, but remember, just now we broke all our relations with the Italian mafia, and we need to rebuild our power and take control over the Italian mafia. In this situation, we can't back out, otherwise our family is at risk..." Avinash implored

Arjun knew very well how the mafia worked. If there was no power and paisa in his hands, the next minute his family would be at his enemies' gunpoint. So, for now, he felt helpless-umm, not really. He was the weapon king, Arjun Srivastav; nothing was impossible for him.

He thought for a while and gave a devilish smirk to Avinash and Mahesh, which was not unnoticed by Abrahm and Aman.

"Did you notice that smirk?" Abrahm whispers to Aman

"That means uska dimag chalu ho gaya hai, pakka koi kaand karne wala hai..." Aman grumbled

"I hope koi acha wala kaand kare... (Looking up at the roof) God, please bless that girl who is coming into his bloody pathar dil (stone-hearted) zindagi." Abrahm prayed
