Recap: Jhanvi takes care of Akhil. Naren tells Liya that Akhil killed his parents.

****************

Liya and Naren were in the living after breakfast. Naren looked disturbed and restless.

Liya: How is Akhil responsible or how do you mean he killed your parents ?

Nar: I could never forget that day. My father took me for a ride in his bike that night. I love riding with him. All of a sudden a car which came opposite crashed on us. I was wearing my father's helmet so nothing happened to me but my father's head hit on the rock. A boy was driving the car sitting infront of the driver. He did not stop and left the place. I saw the car number and looking at the blood of my father I fell unconscious. 

Next when I woke up I saw my mother's devastated face and my sister crying in her lap. Two days later the same car arrived at our door step and the driver took our mother because his boss wanted to speak to her about the accident. I waited with my sister for her return but she never came back. 

Next day her dead body was delivered in an ambulance. At that age I did not know what to do. After her rituals my relatives took us with them to save our lives but we ended up in an orphanage.

My...my mo.mother was pregnant. Death certificate said she died during her labor and the child was dead too. I grew up with only one thought and that is to revenge Akhil and his family. I will make him suffer like we did. 

Liya hugged him and caressed his hair saying sweet nothings to console him. He hugged her cried venting out all his worries buried deep inside.

Liya: Where is your sister ?

Nar: she is like mother and doesn't wants this revenge. I kept her secret to protect from her any danger because of my revenge. But she loves me a lot and same goes to me. She is my everything but I can't give up my revenge which is burning in me all these years.

Liya: I can understand your pain Naren but like your sister said you need to think of this. Will your mother be happy with what you are doing and you said it was accident. He did not do it on purpose, he was a child too. What if something happens to you and your sister will end up alone again.

What will happen to me ? you want me in your life but you don't seem to care for me or your sister. Please think of this but I won't force you. 

Naren: You are the first person I have trusted and let know about me and my family.

Liya: You can always trust me. Life has already taught me many lessons and I regret for many things. I won't let you regret for letting me in your life. I will be there for you.

She kissed his forehead and he hugged her as she turned to be the solace in his solitude.

Akhil groaned in pain as he tried to get up in the morning. He sat leaning on the headboard. Jhanvi came in time and saw him in pain and helped him to refresh. they came down and saw Kamala and Isha waiting for them.

Jhanvi fed him breakfast and went to his room to get his tablets. Suddenly she got remembered of her belongings and went into the closet to check on it. She opened the briefcase and saw all the things in place. Akhil saw her smiling looking at the things and returned to the room and sat on the bed.

She came out and gave him the tablets. Kabir called Akhil to discuss about the US resort project.

Akh: What is it now ? We already cleared everything right ?

Kab: Our architect called me yesterday and since its now winter vacation over there he suggested opening our resort within next month and moreover he has found a land near by the beach where we can plan a honeymoon cottage and even destination weddings. There are a lot of competition for that land and many hotels are being planned to open for the season. So you need to travel now.

Jhanvi who heard everything since the call was on speaker gave a stern look to Akhil.

Jha: How will you travel in this state ? Its not easy Akhil.

Akh: Angel, I understand but this resort is our first one in New york and we cannot let all the efforts go waste. Oppurtunities should be used when the door are open. May be you can accompany me.

Kab: thats an excellent idea Akhil. Better both travel and you can take care of business and Jhanvi will take care of you and also she can have a look on the land we have been suggested for new project. Her ideas will be best. 

Akh: Yes Jaan, lets go. We can use our jet. 

Jhanvi insisted on consulting the doctor once before travelling and Akhil accepted to her. Sanjay called the doctor and Akhil was examined and he gave safety advice to travel and emergency medication is case of excess pain.

Akhil informed Kabir to plan their travel two days later and to fix all the meetings well in advance. He was in the study looking after some files for a long time when Jhanvi entered inside. She saw him exhausted and started yelling at him.

Jha: You will never listen to my words and just do whatever you like. Who am I to stop you ?

Akh:  Its almost over and I will get back to room in few minutes Jaan. Please don't be mad on me.

Jha: What will you do ? Get your other hand or a leg fractured like how you got hurt your hand hurt deliberately right ?

Kamala who heard this entered furiously and Akhil stood immediately.

Kam: What did Jaanu say now ? you got hurt purposely ? 

Akh: Nothing like that granny. You don't panic. I m alright.

Kam: Idiot, what if something serious had happened ? Are you mad to do something like that ? You did this to retain Jaanu with you right ?

Akhil stayed quite and Jhanvi stood numb on seeing the hurt on Kamala's face. Akhil hugged Kamala but smiled at Jhanvi not to worry. Jhanvi left them alone and went to the garden crying over for the mess she has been creating in his life.

Kamala came out and saw Jhanvi in the garden. She sat next to her.

Kam: First I felt bad for you for what happened. Even pitied you and scolded Akhil and his mother. but now I really feel bad for Akhil, not because he is my grandson but he is doing everything in his side to get you back. He cut all ties with Sheela, Chakku threw her away from the family.

Day and night Akhil has only one thought and that is you. Poor child is working hard for his business but he never fails to think to impress you and convince you. Now he got himself hurt only to makeyou stay by him. And he is suffering so much even when he is not at fault. I don't think no one could do so much if in his place.

His love is enough for both of your lives. Ellarum unakku kashtam kuduthanga nu, unna ivlo uyira nesikkura unnoda Akhil ku yen nee kashtam thare. Yarum irukkum podhu adhoda aruma theriyadhu Jaanu ma. You are smart and I know you will understand. Get things fixed before it goes out of your hands.

Jhanvi sat crying at the true words which felt like stabbing her heart in reality. Kamal bade bye to her left the penthouse. Jhanvi hugged her knees to her chest and cried burying her face in her palms.

Jha: How cruel I have been to him. Even when he is not at fault he is doing everything to convince me but I gave him only pain and betrayal. Granny was true, his love is the only thing that keeps our relationship alive. I haven't put any efforts for our love. Though he had not said his love I could see it from his eyes. 

She felt a hand on her shoulder and turned to see Akhil standing behind her. He wiped her tears and pulled her to his chest.

Akh: Please stop crying. I m sorry to make you cry again. Promise I won't repeat my mistake.

Jhanvi placed her hand on his mouth.

Jha: It wasn't your mistake. I m sorry. I did not watch granny coming and she too is hurt because of me. I only give pain to all.

Akh: Stop speaking nonsense sweet cheeks. you can never do that to anyone. You are my queen who could only care and love everyone. Now come on I m hungry and lets have food.

While she was feeding him, Akhil informed her to check on the dresses and to do shopping the next day as the climate would be colder in New york. She called Kamala to be present to take of care of him so that she could finish the shopping.

Next day Jhanvi and Isha went shopping and she purchased jackets, gloves, mufflers for both of them. Isha pulled her to a shop and bought skirt and shirts for her. 

Akh: Ishaaaaaaa, I never wore these dresses. Please put them back and lets leave.

Isha: No, there is always a first time for everything and its high time we have seen you in salwars and pjs. Now wear these and surprise us especially your husband. 

Jha: Why should I surprise him ?

Isha: Yeah , I know your fake anger on him and now stop pretending that you don't love him. 

Isha paid for all the dresses and they moved to the parking and Isha sat in the drivers seat. Jhanvi opened the door of the passenger seat and was about to sit inside but she was shocked to see the person behind the pillar holding hands with Naren.
