Aavyan was being dragged by Ishika through the mall while his thoughts were still on the incidents that took place this morning.

He has seen a fear in Rudra's eyes after a long time and it was the same fear he has because of him. Another thing was that he agreed with Ishika when she said she is taking Aavyan out with her without arguments this is too much of a change.

Lost in his thoughts he didn't pay attention and crashed in someone making the person disbalance. He stepped forward to catch the person before she hits the ground.

Brown met hazel as Ishika sneaked away from there. Both of them stayed in the position for a while, lost in each other.

Aavyan noticed their surroundings and pulled Mahi in the standing position and stepped back. She missed his touch but didn't say anything.

"Sorry...wo mera dhyaan kahin aur tha" He apologized looking at his feet. Mahi smiled at him but changed her expression as he looked at him.

"Koi baat nahi.....Aavyan right...hum collage mein mile the?" She said as he nodded in agreement. Her eyes fell on a cafe behind them and a smile came on her face.

"Coffee?" She asked as Aavyan's eyes widened in surprise.

"Ankhen kyun badi karli.....are mein date ke liye nahi puchh rahi hoon. Usdin tumse kaha tha na tumhari singing achhi hai...mere pass ek offer hai usi ke liye discussion karna hai isliye keh rahi hoon" She said as Aavyaan heart sank unknowingly.

They made their way in the cafe as Aavyan entered the cafe Ishika winked at Mahi who smiled at her. She hid behind a wall observing the couple when someone came and stood behind her.

"Kya dekh rahi ho?" Shiavy said wrapping his arms around her waist. She elbowed him in the stomach making him withdraw his hands.

"Chup raho ya niklo" She said as Shivay kept a finger on his lips and followed her gaze and observed his sister sitting and talking with her love.

Aavyan was talking about his love for music and singing while Mahi just sat there sipping her coffee starring at him as talked about his passion.

He noticed her starring and looked down blushing under her gaze with a beautiful smile on his lips.

"So aap kisi offer ke baare mein baat kar rahi thin" He said snapping her back to reality.

"Haan to pehle mein apne aapko thik se introduce kardun. Mein hun Mahi Malhotra....Quiver industries ki malkin" She said as he nodded smiling at her. She mentally sighed in relief seeing him not scared of her.

"Mein chahti hun ki tum apni aavaz meri company ko do. Sirf gane hi nahi hamari company ko jabhi playback voice chahiye ho to vo tumhari avaaz hi ho. Salary jo bhi tum chaho" She said as Aavyan smiled a big genuine smile.

"So you in?" She asked extending her hand which Aavyan took while Ishika and Shivay hi-fived each other out of reflex and then looked away from each other after which Ishika rushed away.

"Bhaiya aap yahan ho mein aapko kahan kahan nahi dhunda....oh hi boss" She said acting perfectly infront of her brother.

"Boss?" Aavyaan said looking between the girls.

"Haan wo inki company collage aai thi recruits lene to mujhe fashion head ke taur pe liya hai" She said as Aavyan nodded.

Later That Day

Aavyan was sitting in the recording booth struming his guitar. Mahi entered the recording room with Shivay as everyone wished her.

After which with a wave of her hand she dismissed everyone as Shivay sat down and put the headphones on ready to record. She looked at Aavyan and nodded as he started singing in his melodious voice.

Tum prem ho tum preet ho

Man meet ho radhe

Meri man meet ho radhe

Tum prem ho tum preet ho

Meri bansuri ka geet ho

His melodious voice rang in the speakers as all the employees enjoyed a beautiful song in a beautiful voice.

Hu main jaha tum ho vahaa radha

Tum bin nahin hai kuchh yahaan

Mujhame dhadakti ho tum

Tum door mujhse ho kaha

Tum prem ho tum preet ho

Meri man meet ho

He looked at Mahi through the glass as she stood there smiling enjoying his singing.

Tum prem ho tum preet ho

Meri bansuri ka geet ho

Parmatma ka sparsh ho radhe

Pulakit harday ka harsh ho

Tum ho samarpan ka shikhar

Tum hee mera utkarsh ho

Tum prem ho tum preet ho

Meri bhawana ki tum radhe jeet ho

Tum prem ho tum preet ho

Meri man meet ho radhe meri man meet ho

Tum prem ho tum preet ho

Meri bansuri ka geet ho

His heart unknowingly dedicated the song to the beauty infront of him. Like it was a natural thing to do.

Tum prem ho tum preet ho

Meri man meet ho radhe

Meri man meet ho

Tum prem ho tum preet ho

Meri bansuri ka geet ho

Shivay gave him a smile as the song completed and he came out. Everyone appreciated him but his eyes searched for the person who's approval his heart seeked craved the most unknowingly.

Mahi walked towards him as all the employees rushed back to their work. Aavyan smiled at her as she returned his with a small one.

"Good job....tumhari aavaz wakai bahot meethi hai" She said as they shook hands.

Aavyan entered the house smiling and a bit dancing as he can still feel Mahi's touch on his hand. His blissful trance was broken when someone wrapped a cloth around his neck chocking him.

"Mna kiya tha na....music se dur rehne ko kaha tha na" Rudra whispered in his ear as he coughed up feeling a lack of oxygen.

Rudra tied his hand behind his back and a cloth around his mouth and dragged him towards the pool outside in the garden.

Aavyan blood went cold as he saw the history ready to repeat itself. He tried to free himself as Rudra grabbed two empty glass bottles on his way.

He made Aavyan stand on the edge of the pool. Before the poor soul can do anything to save himself he broke the bottles on his head making it spin.

"Aath saal pehle bhale hi usne bachaliya ho lekin aaj koi nahi aayega" He said pushing Aavyan in the pool.

Aavyan struggled to come to surface for a second but stopped as his blood flowed continuously getting mixed with water making him weak.

Last thing he saw was a figure swiming towards him after which everything went black.
