Loud music, dim lights, dancings, drinkings, making out all over. As the Oberois entered people ran towards Gauri for her autograph or pictures.

Gauri agree and clicked many pictures with them while the others moved ahead. The girls went on the dance floor along with Sumedh and Siddharth.

Rudra arranged a cabin for others to sit as asked by Shivaay. Surbhi went to bar counter but none noticed. As the cabin was ready all went. Rudra still being childish joined the kids.

"Where's Anika?" Shivaay scanned around.

"Bhaiyaa see she is at the bar counter." Soumya pointed.

"I'll just come."

He saw her gulping down the shots. He settled beside her and asked.

"Are you the same Anika who used to hate the taste of Alcohol?"

"It's been 24 years Shivaay. Nothing is the same." She gulped one more shot.

Shivaay stare her. He tried to find something in her eyes, but it was all deserted. He didn't find even a hint of emotion in those dark brown orbs.

"Would you like to have some?" She forward a shot towards him.

He looked at the glass then again to her. He took the glass and gulped it down. He banged the glass on the table.

He saw her ordering some more drinks. He kept staring her trying to find His Anika. Suddenly his eyes fell on some random guys who were ogling on her. He clutching the glass and was ready to attack on them.

"Where are you going?" Even though she know, she asked.

"I'll just come."

"Sit down and have drink with me." She placed a glass in his hand.

He exhaled and sat back ignoring those men.

"I don't understand one thing how can you look the same? Like still that 25 year old young girl when your age is twice of it." He asked placing the glass on the table.

Her lips curved up from a side before turning towards him. "Jealous, are you?"

"Nothing like that. But it's just that you look like the elder sister of our kids. Some might think you're still single." He twisted his lips eyeing those men who were still ogling on her. "So just...."

"Don't your remember who am I, what am I?"

"Yeah. Of course. I do" he sighed and took a sip from the glass.

Those men slowly approached them and ordered drinks for themselves.

"Ufff it's so hot" one of the men spoke.

Surbhi tilt her head towards them giving a look to them before turning back.

"Don't you feel the same Miss?" He leaned his back on the counter table tilting his head towards her.

Shivaay's blood boil and he was about to stand but remained baffled when he saw her removing her jacket.

"You're right. It is indeed hot." She threw the jacket in Shivaay's hand, exposing the good amout of her skin. The guys smirk checking her out from head to toe.

"What are you doing? Are you mad or what? Wear it back." Shivaay forward the jacket to her. Surbhi took the jacket and threw it away, straight away looking into his eyes.

"Anika!!!"

"I don't take orders, I give. I am the Queen" whispered in his ears pecking his jawline.

She had left towards the dance floor. Shivaay closed his eyes in frustration. He inhaled a good amout of breath before looking back to her only to find her dancing.

Those men trying to inappropriately touch her but were not able to cause she avoid it. He saw her moving ahead gesturing those men to follow her.

She is completely mad.

He immediately ran towards them, following them. He reached towards the backside of the club where no one was present.

The men surrounded her while she stood there unaffected instead she was busy checking her nails.

Shivaay was about to but Ashi came.

"Dad?" She called him out.

"Your mom has gone mad. You know what she did..."

"I know. I saw everything."

"I am going."

"Dad she will handle herself. You know who she is. They won't be able to even touch her." Ashi held his hand

"You know that?" Shivaay was quite shocked. Ashi nodded her head.

"How?"

Ashi was about to speak when they heard her scream. Their heads snapped towards them. Those men where forcing themselves on her.

"Anika!!!" Shivaay towards them and started punching them.

One of them took a rod and hit his head making in fall unconscious.

"Dad!!!" Ashi ran to him and placed his head on her lap. He dress was soaked by the blood. Her hands tremble seeing her hands coloured blood.

Her eyes raged she dangerously snapped her head towards them. She carefully placed Shivaay's head down. She held one of men's collar.

She shook him but her small frame did nothing to him instead he held her neck and dragged her. She wiggled to get out of his hold but all in vain.

"Oh man another beautiful chick." The other one commented.

"But where's that lady?" They look around but there was no one except them.

"How did she run?" He roared.

"I don't know." The other replied.

"It's okay. We have this one." He smirk leaning near her. Ashi turned her face away in disgust trying to push him.

The man held her chin and pushed her towards the wall leading to a cut on her back. He leaned more.

"Don't you dare look away" he gritted his teeth.

Ashi shut her eyes tight as he try to hold her dress. But a hand held his before he could touch her. He was pushed and he landed on the ground.

"Tie it on your dad's wound and don't let the blood flow." Surbhi passed a cloth to Ashi.

Ashi's hand trembling. She was not out of the thought of what could have happened if Surbhi....

"Do it fast or get ready to lose him." She was brought back by Surbhi. Ashi took the cloth and ran towards Shivaay.

Ashi tied the cloth around his head. Within seconds the cloth was soaked of blood too.

She saw her standing still without even a hint of fear. The guys stood up wiping the blood from the corner of his lips. Rage filled in his eyes.

He stretch his hand to hold her but he was stopped midway as she held his hand.

She twisted his hand lightly breaking couple of his bone. He shriek out of pain. The other men shook a little but came forward. But their condition was same as their friend.

Ashi felt some warm liquid on her hand placed below Shivaay's head.

"Miss Surbhi blood's is still flowing. I held it too tight still...." Ashi freaked out.

Surbhi turned and walked towards them. Ashi saw her and her eyes widen as one of them stood up and was ready to attack.

"Miss Surbhi!!!!" Ashi screamed but it was late. He already hit her. But to his and Ashi's surprised or we can say shock the metal rod broke but there was not even a single scratch on her.

Surbhi stopped and turned her head back. Her eyes changed its colour along with her skin which turned into pale shimmery Azure blue, the colour of her tail.

But what shook him more was another Surbhi walking towards Ashi and Shivaay while the one was still standing before his eyes. He fainted then and there while the rest ran away.

Ashi was shocked too. She just kept looking at her. Surbhi stopped the blood flow using her powers.

"He's fine just lost so much of blood." Surbhi stood wiping her hands. "You go and inform others I'll take him home" 

Without waiting for her she picked Shivaay and headed towards her bike. Ashi got and ran inside, informing others.

--------

"What happened to him?" Omkara rushed towards his bed settling beside him while the other side was grabbed by Rudra.

Everyone rushed home back as soon as they heard Ashi's broken and half narration as she was scared by the incident and crying unstoppable.

Sumedh and Siddharth looked towards Surbhi who was silently reading the document on her MacBook, as if she don't care.

"Speak up Ashi. We've been asking from so long but you're just crying. For heaven's sake speak up" Gauri raised her voice a bit worried and anxious.

"Cha.. Chachi I...." Ashi tried to speak between her hiccups.

"He is fine. Nothing's happened. Due to blood loss he's weak and unconscious. He'll be getting up in the middle of the or tomorrow morning." Surbhi spoke without shifting her eyes from the screen.

"But Bhabhi how did this happen?" Rudra finally spoke.

"It happened because of her." Ashi pointed Surbhi. "Why did you do all that? Seducing those creeps and inviting problem yourself." Ashi barked. Surbhi was unfazed while the others were confused.

"Ashi get a hold on your tongue she's is our mother." Sumedh have had enough he cannot bear any word against his mother nor Siddharth could.

"Mother? Seriously. I don't think so. She is the mother 3 grown up children. But you what she did? Back there in the club some creeps were ogling over her. Instead of ignoring them or trying to get away of them she started dancing with them and it doesn't end here, she herself went with them, backside of club." Ashi took a pause.

All looked at Surbhi, who was still into her own business not caring about the words spoke about her, not ready to believe Ashi's words except Sarah who knew she is capable enough to do such stuff.

"What rubbish are you talking Ashi? Are in the correct state of your mind?" Siddharth was clearly not ready to accept what she spoke.

"Okay even if we agree she did all this but how did Shivaay ended up like this?" Sarah asked.

"While saving her when those creeps where forcing themselves on her."

"What? That's not possible. No one can even touch her and even if they do they won't be alive. You don't know what mom can do if anything happen against her will" stated Siddharth. He can't just believe thaf some random humans were forcing themselves on his mom.

"That is the point. She suddenly disappeared when those creeps were misbehaving with me and again appeared out of no where. Breaking the bones of those creeps."

"What yoh exactly want to say Ashi Di? How is Badi Maa responsible for Bade Papa's condition? She is not at fault, those men are." Anushka reasoned.

"Of course she is at fault. She invited danger not only for herself but also for dad and me." Ashi spoke.

"There's no logic in your words Ashi. You said mom went with those men who were misbehaving with her which is not at all possible. Then you said she disappeared when they were misbehaving with you but again came and saved you. You heard it? She saved you from those men you should thank her instead of accusing her. And she saved Dad too. So just shut up and apologise." Sumedh barked.

"Why should I she did all these....."

"What were you doing there dear daughter?" Ashi was cut off by Surbhi who, untill now, was busy reading the documents, kept the MacBook aside.

"Huh?"

"What were you doing? When those creeps, as you say were misbehaving with you why didn't you slap them or beat the shit out of them? Why didn't you call anyone of them and take your father to hospital, instead of enjoying tbe fight? Hmm?"

Ashi was lose of words. She was right. She could have ran and called anyone for help. She just realised how illogical her words were.

"And still instead of callinv for a doctor for professional check up of Shivaay you all are busy arguing about utter nonsense." Surbhi shook her head.

That's when they realise they were wasting time in stupid stuff instead of ringing a doctor.

"Bloody hell. Khanna Bhaiyaa please call the doctor and everyone please shut up Shivaay Bhaiyaa is not well and you're here busy arguing." Omkara spat pressing the tip of fingees on his temples.

"No need of that. The doctor's here." Surbhi declared pointing the door, a house helper guided the doctor. Surbhi took her MacBook slip off the screen as she had enough of the drama. Sarah followed her.

The doctor dressed his wounds and declared that Shivaay is fine due to blood loss he is unconscious. He asked them to serve him a proper meal once he is conscious again.

Doctor went after advising some dos and don'ts for the better recovery as the cut was deep. Omkara asked everyone to let him rest and leave to their respective rooms. Ashi stayed there itself as she don't want to leave her father alone.

I know such a crap it is. But it was necessary for the further chapter.

What do you think about it?

What are your opinion on Surbhi?

Also do point out the mistakes as I have not re checked it.

Lastly do tell me how was the chapter?

Stay safe take care of yourself and your loved ones

Love Love ❤
