Finally after so long, I'm back to India.

My own place.

My Home.

I can't explain in words how much I miss being here. Studying law in foreign, isn't any fun as it's seems to be. And most importantly, food there is fucking gross.

This city changed a lot since then. Stupid of me, not booking a cab and decided to walk to my destination. I didn't even inform anyone about my arrival.

ARGH!!

Little toe of my right foot experienced pain. I'm getting frustrated. My hand itches to blow someone skull right now. Just holding myself back.

I was strolling and enjoying the dawn time, suddenly I noticed a girl silhouette, trying to climb the railing of the bridge.

WTF

She is going to take her life.

Those horrible memories flooded in my mind as I ran to save her without any second thought. For a microsecond, I saw her in that girl.

Her

My mother

FLASHBACK
when he was 10 years old

"No...mumaa....you can't leave mee thatt.....PLEASEE"  Holding onto my mother's hand as she was hanging on the bridge. I used my all strength I had but I was failed to pull her up.

"Yuhaannn....please leavee my hand son, let mee die peacefully....."

"Noo mummaa, who...will....look after me....who will....feed...me like you do..... please don't....do thiss" I cried as my tiny hands hold hers but my hold getting loose.

"I...know my....Yuhaan is....stronggg.... But....I'm sorry....your mumma isn't...."

"Nooooo....maaa"

Her hand slipped and that was the last time when I saw her.

I'm so relieved that I was able to save her at the right moment. It felt like I saved someone close to me. I didn't let go of her hand.

But

I hate

HATE

When someone try to attempt suicide, leaving their close ones behind instead of finding the solution of their problems. I got so much furious and brusted on her. Her face was unrecognisable as it was quite dark here.

She told me she lived on streets and how miserable her life is ,all she wanted is to die leaving her child behind. I don't want anyone to suffer without their mother.

Seeing her miserable state, my heart tells me to help her. First time in my life, I listen to my heart. I pull out bundle of notes and gave it to her, also gave her the address of place where she can live. That place is owned by my maternal grandmother. She is the most lovable and enthusiastic person I know. I visit her straight after landing in India. She just look the same as before. I kow the pain of losing her only daughter is eating her up from inside but she never showed it on her face.

Reaching my place, I got excited to meet my Dad but he was nowhere to be found. One of the servants said he will be late because he is really busy in his work.

I made my way to my room, freshen up and drift into sleep. A last thought came into my mind about that girl.

I didn't ask her about her name.

"so how's everything going, Dad" I looked at my dad trying to initiate conversation but he seemed to be uninterested.

"quite well" He take a sip of his favourite tea. Trust me, it taste fucking gross, even it's taste make me puke.

"hmm" I hummed in response. He started acting cold after my mother's dead. She takes his happiness with her.

"um I'm going to meet the Singhania's.....I know Ruhani will get super happy to meet me after so long" After few minutes I said to him as his eyes shot at me. What's with his reaction. Oberois and Us shared a good bond in the business world,  Our families are more like family. And....

Her

Ruhani

My "two coloured eyes witch"

Ignoring my dad's reaction, I got on my feets but before I could a single step, he said something that shocked me to the core.

"We don't have any relation with that family anymore. Their business struggle to survive after losing their reputation. And the credits goes to their daughter, Ruhani. I thought she is an obedient and respectful girl but she is just a slu--"

"DAD!!" Is he out of his mind. He just casually sit there, reading newspaper as if nothing matters

"Stop crushing over that girl....Her filthy acts are seen by everyone" He pulled out his phone and tap something on it as I just stand there dumbfounded unable to proceed anything.

Sound of my phone's notification pulled me out of my thoughts. "hope this will clarify everything" saying this he put his phone aside. I looked at the screen of my mobile, He send me some news article. I hastily go through that article.

It was about

Ruhani

No No this can't be.....

My world turned upside down. She can't do anything like that.

This can be fake!!

or

Maybe someone try to ruin her dignity!?

Who is this fucking man with her!?

A lot of questions but no answers.

Only she have the answer to my every question. I have to meet her right own. I ran to the main door and heard my Dad saying "where you think, you're going, Yuhaan!?" I stopped and turn to him.

"going to meet Ruhani"

"huh, She is missing after that incident. Must be hiding her face from people" He mocked looking at me.

"either she's dead or spreading legs for other mens" He added. I clenched my fist trying not to punch him. Composing myself, I just leave my house.

where are you, Ruh!?

I'm fucking losing my mind

"Damn it" I punched the nearby wall out of anger and then pull my hair back in frustration. Suddenly my phone rings.

who the fuck is calling now!!!
I looked at the screen

oh Nani

"kaisa hai mera Raja beta!?" Her melodious voice is so soothing. But not calming my inner storm.

(how's my son doing!?)

"f-fine Nani" I try to hide my cracked voice.

"just tell me what happened!?" God which superpower she had.

"nothing just mild fever, don't worry" I make the lamest excuse.

"come over, I have whole stock of kada. You will get fit and fine in seconds" I hummed in response.

"and also I wanna talk about that girl. She's so adorable little girl. She is so young. You know she have two different coloured eyes— "

"wait—you said two different eyes" That girl must be Ruhani.

"yes it's so rare, she's god gifted" Ofcourse my Rooh is.

"N-nani listen, did you ask her about her name" My heart want to hear her name.

"Haan, bhut pyara naam hai uska"

"Ruhani" She utter, I felt peace.

I'm coming, my Rooh
