Song :- Shikayatain ( Lootera ).

Third POV.

"Pa...what happened...you are not concentrating...see like this" Aryana said setting the cube in the right place.....

Making a cheeky face all concentration was on the castle before her, Arjun smiled and kiss her forehead, she is his only solace in his deserted life....his sins were so deep that he cannot repent them easily...

Today after seeing her his world stopped for a moment, she is still the same......same innocent girl whom he met for the first time......her eyes held the same naiveness, her beautiful flawless face with body like goddess.

But the sorrow in her eyes, the pain and longing it pricked his heart, knowing full well that he is the reason of her broken heart.

He gave her something which no lover or husband will give to his wife.....betrayal...a small word but it hold a big meaning to hate someone.

"Pa...is something wrong..."

He looks at his daughter......Aryana was looking at him carefully, she is always like that, always sense her father's sadness.....

"Nothing..." Arjun shook his head pulling her close he kiss her cheek and held her close...closing his eyes he tried to take calming breath.

Making Aryana eat her dinner he tug her in bed. Kissing her good night he came out. Sighing he called one number....

"Is everything ready..? "

...........

"Good..."

Cutting the call he sigh.....he is hating himself more but it has to be done.

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

Knock knock......

Anaya jump out of her breath and turn around......

"Anaya can you come out....." Vedika said softly.....

She is careful around her. Anaya is vulnerable today, after Krish informed them that Arjun is in London Veer and Vedika lost their temper but it was not the time to do something reckless. They first needed to check on Anaya. 

Only they knew how she had coped up 4 years ago. From a cheerful happy go lucky girl to a quite and mature women.

They all know that despite having them all she is alone. She pretend to be happy but they all have seen the way she long for her own family.

The emptiness in her life didn't got unnoticed by them, but she didn't let anyone in......she has created a wall between her and the world. Her emotions are locked somewhere....in this 4 years they haven't seen her crying or breaking but today they saw the real her....

A broken and hurt woman.....a woman who feels pain and is so vulnerable.....when she first entered home today Veer immediately rush to his sister's side....but no use. She was like a statue....she just went inside his room without saying anything to anyone.

From that time she was inside the room itself......she hadn't uttered a word as well. They tried but all in vain.

Dejected Vedika came back into the living room, Veer saw her and immediately stand up,

"What happened, Did she say anything...." he asked impatiently...

Vedika looks at him with tear filled eyes and shakes her head.....

Veer curse under his breath and looks at his so called best friend.....who was till now looking outside through the wall size glass window, without saying anything..... 

"This is all your fault...I told you to stay away from her.....that leave her alone, I didn't want any of you near my sister....was it not enough for first time that your so called brother is here to broke her once again....haaa"

Krish sigh and without saying anything he move toward that room, Veer clench his fist when Vedika hold his hand and assure him with her eyes.

Krish dug his pant pocket and take out a bunch of keys and open the room with a particular silver key.....

He never wanted to visit this room ever again in his life. But this is the life we are talking about, and it shows unexpected things.

Stepping inside the room he took a deep breath. He looks around the study room which was neat and clean everything was arranged properly, there was a picture frame on the huge study table, he smile sadly looking at the picture......it was him, Aashi and Krish. It was the picture they took on Aashi's 18th birthday which she took stubbornly, Arjun has a grumpy face, where as he and Aashi were making funny faces on her bed......

Aashi has kept this frame on there study table and has ordered to never remove it. Arjun was never an emotional person but where it came to Aashi or Krish he could do anything, he had a unique way to show his affection to his siblings. He was always impassive among them all. Caressing the frame he smiles sadly. Looking toward the bedroom direction he took a deep breath. 

He went in and saw her sitting before the wall size window on the floor with a shawl......her diary was laying beside her with a pen on top of it.

Krish clear his throat, to gain her attention......

"I thought, you were never going to come inside this room.....his room....."

Her voice was soft and hoarse  as always but one can easily say that she was crying.

Krish moved to her side and slid beside her, looking at her face her said,

"I thought so too...but we always don't get what we want..I guess....."

Krish sigh......

"This is life for us....bhai...always unfair to me, no matter how much I try I couldn't get hold on it bhai.." Anaya said still looking outside at the busy roads and huge buildings.....

"I guess so too......"

There was silence for few minutes Krish was observing her, there was a calmness on her face.....again she was hiding herself in her shell. Krish put his palm on her and squeeze her hand.

"Please Anaya.....don't hide yourself from us.....we are here for you bacha, you bhai, Veerji, Vedika please let it out....." his voice held pleading.

Anaya turns to him and smiles at him......Krish can easily see the pain in her eyes. 

"He still affects you....isn't it ? " Krish asked her or more precisely stated the fact.

He was observing her.

Anaya sighed, giving him a glance she again looks ahead, 

"Abhi broke my trust bhai.....but he. He broke me.......that day I lost faith in friendship and love....and, I...I learned to live with the truth. I though I am strong enough to face past, but no I am not....I am not bhai.....I hate him for breaking me beyond repair..."

Her voice break remembering that hideous day.....

Krish hug her tight....providing the strength, she needed. 

"I never asked you Anaya but......what happened that day...." 

Krish asked consciously, because he don't want to provoke something dreadful in her.....

She looks at him......   

"That day......."

She was about to say something when they heard doorbell rung.....

"I think Aashi is here......" Anaya said trying to change the topic wiping her tears she stood.

Before Krish could stop her she went out......Vedika was already by the door to open it...Veer saw his sister and stand up, he was about to say something when they heard Vedika yell.

"You...."

Everyone turn towards Vedika's voice....their eyes went wide.

Anaya stumble back looking at the person before her.....

"Arjun..." 

She whispers quietly......

Krish clenches his fist......

There he stood in his full glory....with a smirk on his face......
