Omggg...2500+ words... I'm soo tired... not edited but a long update 🙈🦋. Voteeeeee and commmentttt....okiee?🥺👉👈

It was night by now and Raj neyonika were at home only as they didn't wanted to scare myrah by letting her know about karan.

Manik had sent everyone home excluding aarav and cabir. Nandini was reluctant to go but Manik assured her that he will take care of Karan,also if she won't go home myrah won't sleep tonight.

Manik was on call with Raj while aarav and cabir were sitting with karan in ward Passing their time by watching football match on TV which was already present there.

Raj- Manik ,are you sure you don't need me there and Karan...he is fine right?

Manik- dad trust me he is fine. Tomorrow you all can come,I won't deny and yeah don't send myrah to school bring her here.

Raj- okay,but what should I tell her for now? She is bugging neyonika since she came back from school.

Manik- dad don't worry,I had told nandini to make an excuse of me aarav and karan going out of town for some business meeting. It's just Karan was unconscious and environment here was not that good in afternoon cause we were standing in front of Operation theatre all day that's why I asked you both to not come but now karan is shifted in normal ward as well so myrah won't have to see all this.

Raj- yeah you are right and does ram, Ishita knows about it?

Manik- yeah they came to visit in evening. He was here that's why I was able to go to cabir's place to freshen up. Infact aarav and cabir too came with me.

After some more talks Manik cuts the call and placed his head on wall closing his eyes tightly. Raj and Karan still don't know about those evil deeds. In addition doctor had told him they are suspecting some kind of clot in Karan's brain which might cause him to undergo complicated surgery yet again.

After composing himself he went inside the ward to see everyone watching match. He shaked his head in disbelief and switched off the TV only to get three loud shouts.

Karan/aarav- (whining)papaaaa/ daddd

Cabir-(in same tone) manikkkkk

Manik(gritting his teeths)- what Manik and what Dad haan? He needs rest and you guys are playing, shouting? Cabir atleast you should understand he had undergone a surgery for God's sake.

Cabir(realising his mistake)- yeah yeah I'm sorry...I just forgot.

Karan(making cute pout)- dad please naaaa....just 10 mins more, it's almost ending.

Manik (sternly)- not a word more Karan. Aarav ,cabir get up and move towards hotel and you common close your eyes.

Manik had booked one room for cabir and aarav in a hotel which was in next lane only as they were not ready to go home while manik was going to stay at hospital. Hospital is far from their home so even Manik agreed with them and made arrangements in hotel.

He said last line pointing towards karan while both boys immediately accepted his order cause Manik was looking very serious. He never calls them by their name untill really serious situation is there.

Everyone sensed the seriousness and cabir patted his shoulder and said- if you need something call me I'll be there in 5.

Manik nodded and then they both left after wishing each other. Manik walked towards karan and adjusted him little so that he can sleep comfortably.

Manik(softly while caressing his head)- you need something?

Karan-(in a low voice) noo...but are you okay? Aap pareshan lag rhe ho.

Manik(smiling lightly)- it's nothing like that...you sleep Don't take tension.

Karan- papa...you can share. I'm not a kid anymore, atleast Don't lie please. I can clearly see you are worried about something.

Manik when saw karan won't budge he just sighed tiredly and a lone tear escape his eyes. Seeing which karan tried getting up but Manik stopped him.

Manik (teary eyed)- don't. Don't get up.

Karan(worriedly)- papa...papa aap ro rhe Hai? Kyaa hua Hai? Mai theek hu ab...dekhiyee.

Manik- I'm scared about tomorrow. Doctor said there might be a clot in your brain and they might need to do some serious surgery. I don't want you to go through all that pain. I can't loose you champ....you, nandini aarav myrah and mom-das are my life.

Karan holds his hands tightly and said - papa.... nothing will happen to me... please calm down and even doctor is not sure right now...haina?

Manik nodded and Karan smiled. He placed Manik's hand on his cheek and Manik started caressing it lovingly.

Karan(smiling)- then bas fir...you won't take tension...and even if something happened we will fight okay. Did maa or anybody else Knows about it yet?

Manik nodded in no and karan sighed in relief and said- don't tell them until reports are out...they will get worried without any reason.

Manik- yeah but maybe nandini already has idea about this as she herself is a well known neurologist. You fall from such a height...you know when I got a call from school,I was numb champ. I thought I'll loose you before even holding you closer.

Karan smiled a little but realisation hits him. What happened to Varun? He didn't saw dhruliya mukti Varun from evening. Even Abhi came for few moments and left. Diya was also not there.

Karan (confusion)- papa?

Manik(lovingly)- hmmm?

Karan- where is everyone? I mean varun..

He was going to say about dhruliya Mukti too but was stopped by Manik's reaction.

Manik who was still caressing his cheeks with all the fatherly love he has for his champ instantly stopped and said in a very plain stern voice.

Manik- don't talk about them.

Karan somewhere had got an idea what must have happened but he knew if he will ask Manik he can get angry
So he didn't question him further while manik too made him sleep and went towards couch placed there. That couch was big Enough for him so he was settled there and Karan too slept soon cause of his heavy medicines.

Manik didn't slept whole night while other side Nandini too was turning her sides. How can she sleep when her baby is in pain? She made myrah sleep with her today to feel little bit peace.

Both manan were thinking about their unborn Child's death, their friends bretayal and Karan's health. They both cried for their children and knew that they need to talk with each other soon to get rid of these heavy emotions which were overpowering their mind and heart.

In police station Varun, Dhruv was placed in one cell and aliya Mukti was placed in another.

Aliya was still instigating mukti against Karan and Mukti was getting influence by her too while on the other side dhruv was doing same with Varun but he was silent. Today he lost his friends,his dad, his ever caring mamu. He was looking blank but there was a storm inside his heart.

He even heard manik talking with inspector to not let Varun stay alone or with any other criminal in a cell and place him with dhruv. Police was going to place him in juvenile as he is still a minor but just because Manik requested he didn't do that. Even after what varun did instead of ignoring him completely Manik was making sure he is not in any sort of trouble or something. He even asked inspector to not beat or shout at any criminal Infront of him as it can give him huge trauma after all he had always lives in between of well educated people and in safe environment.

All these thoughts were making varun regret badly. He even shed few tears which he hide efficiently without anybody's notice.

Next morning

At breakfast table everyone was sitting while Abhi was just on his phone. He was talking with a lawyer as he was very serious about divorce thing but stopped listening myrah.

Myrah(with sad pout)- mumma you said papajii and bhaiyus will come at morning. Where are they? They left without meeting myrah?

Before nandini could say something Abhi said- baby...you complete your breakfast then we will go to them. Okay?

Myrah(excited)- we will go out if town?

Abhi was silent and looked at Nandini. Nandini blink her eyes and took myrah in her lap.

Nandini-(lovingly)- baby...they are not out of town. You complete your breakfast then we will go to them...okay?

Myrah nodded and completed her breakfast soon. Everyone went to get ready and neyonika made myrah ready. Nandini was in kitchen packing food for everyone when Diya came inside.

Diya(in a very low voice)- aunty

Nandini (blankly)- what?

Diya- can I come and meet Karan?

Nandini-no.

Diya by now had tears. She was already feeling guilty. She realised what big mishap they had done. She never knew her parents can be this cruel. True she liked karan and many boys for their status and looks but that was because that's what aliya teached her. She always used to tell her how big mistake she had done marrying dhruv and wanted to marry Manik. She had seen dhruv too getting jealous of manik and cabir every now and then. So that's what she thought if you don't have money or status you won't be happy.

When nandini didn't got any response she looked back to see Diya crying silently. She felt bad for her. After all she was a mother too,she knew that she was not at fault. It was the result of bad parenting. She sighed and cupped her chin and made her look at her.

Nandini - what happened?

Diya(crying bitterly)- I'm sorry aunty.... I'm really sorry....I never wanted to harm anyoneee in this way. I thought if you don't have money, status good looks then you can't be happy. I wanted all this,I didn't wanted to end up like mom dad. I'm really sorry... please forgive me. I know I did a huge sin which shouldn't be easily forgiven,but I will make it up to everyone. I had already lost mom dad now I don't want to loose you all as well instead I'll become a really good human being aunty. I promise I'll make all of you proud.

Nandini-(little sternly)- I'll forgive you on one condition.

Diya( hurriedly)- I'll do everything. I promise.

Nandini (smiling)- you have to call me maa or mom like aarav and Karan.

A huge smile broke on diya's face listening her. She hugged nandini tightly and started crying very loudly.

Everyone else too smiled as they were standing outside of the kitchen only including Manik cabir aarav who were in call with neyonika. Abhi was thinking about Varun. It was not only Mukti's Fault...he too failed to be a good father for his son. This was the result of bad parenting. Only if he would have spent quality time with Varun instead of growing his business all the time...they would have been lot happier. Aarav, aradhya, mrudula were results of good parenting only. Even their parents were working but still they make sure to give them best qualities. Even though karan was away but he had neyonika and Raj to give him all the manners and basic life lessons.

After a little family moment everyone moved towards hospital. Myra still didn't know about karan but after seeing hospital she got scared.

Myrah- mumma why are we here? You said we will go to bhaiyu and papaji.

Nandini didn't know what to speak so neyonika said- baby... yesterday na your bhaiyu fall from a height...so he has got some injuries. Thats why doctor is treating him

That's it. Myrah who was already scared started crying or should I say wailing In corridor.

Myrah-(wailing) what happened to bhaiyuu? Where is he?? I want to go to bhaiyuu mummaaa

She was not listening to anyone so nandini took her inside Karan's ward like that only.

Karan who just came out from washroom with the help of aarav and Manik was shocked to see myrah crying this bitterly. She came running and hugged Karan holding his legs. Unfortunately that was a fractured leg so a hiss left his mouth seeing which manik immediately hold myrah in his arms.

Manik(taking crying myrah)- baby...shh...bhaiyu is fine bachaa.... Don't cry.

But myrah wanted to come in Karan's arms so he settled on bed quickly and grabbed her in his one hand.

Myrah immediately clutched his shirt in her tiny palms and kept her head on his heart still crying.

Seeing her like this everyone was heart broken. Karan patted her head very softly and kissed her on her head tenderly.

Karan- shhh...bas naa baby...kitnaa rogya mera chotu packet....shh it's okay.

Myrah(hicupping)- bhaiyu....you....you fall? You are in pain bhaiyu?

Karan(nodding in no)- nahi bhaiyuu kii Jaan... I'm not now...myrah has come naa..she will cure her bhaiyu right?

Myrah(cutely with tears marks on her face)- how?

Karan- with her sweet kisses?

Myrah nodded and started giving sweet kisses on every part of his body where bandage was there. Everyone was aww on her this gesture while karan had a sweet smiling playing on his lips with little tears seeing the amount of love she has for him.
