Heye guys… Amore here… once again… guess what?? My queen bee is all set to come home… I will bring her this coming Sunday… And most importantly… Thank you so very much… for the tremendous support you guys have shown… I was so overwhelmed… Thanks Shivu bachha for the note too… I have been repeatedly told that I am not in a good track. My family says that I am wasting my time writing in wattpad because I won’t be paid but the appreciation you all showed me proved that the pay I was searching is finally on its way. I always wanted people to feel my writing… I wanted my work to be accepted among the readers and the way you all came up gave me a hope that now I will be able to fulfill my dreams… Thank you so very much guys… those words of appreciation means a lot to me…
Here are the links of previous chappies…
Lets start the chappy…
His Subconscious Mind: (sarcastically ) Really? Then what was the feeling I felt for Hina?
Conscious: Love… But I don’t love Nitya.
Subconscious: If that was love then what is this. And why the hell do I feel for Nitya like this? I am jealous in the same way I use to when boys tried to flirt with Hina.
His Conscious Mind: But how is it possible to have same feelings for two different women.
Subconscious: If it is not possible then how the hell am I feeling it.
Conscious: I don’t know. How can I feel the same feeling for Nitya that I felt with Hina?
Subconscious: You love her
Conscious: NO! I Don… (couldn’t complete)
Subconscious: Grip yourself Aryan. Find out what this is… Is it Love… Do I love My Nitya?Conscious: How can it be?
Leaving Aryan in his own confusion, his conscious and subconscious brain keep on debating. He was in some sort of trance – lost somewhere in his thoughts that he failed to hear someone calling his name. “Aryan” he heard amidst the quarrel but he was so involved in between that he couldn’t notice it. “Aryan?” called a masculine voice which irritated him somewhere as he recognized the intruder’s voice.
“It’s cold here, why are you standing up here like this?” said the intruder and that is when Aryan realized he is in his shirt and the weather is snowy. It cold enough that his hands has numbed. He couldn’t feel his muscles of his hands.
“I was thinking and standing like this helps me to do so” was only the excuse he could give as he mentally slapped himself when his own excuse sounded to himself.
“You mean standing in this freezing cold where snow has covered you making your black shirt complete white, helps you think?” asked the intruder in a confused tone but Aryan had no idea that he was anything but confused. Aryan was about to say something when they heard Nitya’s voice “Raviiiiiii come with Aryan to have food”
“Yeah, it does. I think we should head down Mr. Rathod, YOUR Nitu is waiting for you” spoke out Aryan in a cold tone according to himself but Bhairav could clearly find jealousy dripping in his voice.
“May be you don’t know but I can detect poison” said Bhairav fighting his smile. A very confused Aryan stare him as if Bhairav had seven eyes and asked, “what do you mean Mr. Rathod?”
“Bhairav. You can call me Bhairav and you are so venomous Aryan. Your voice drips poison whenever you talk about me and Nitu together but whenever you look at her or talk about ‘only’ her, there is no venom in your eyes or voice” says Bhairav making Aryan stare at him wide shocked eyes.
Bhairav looks at his expression and now he is sure that whatever he had decided to do was not wrong and then smilingly adds, “lets go down Aryan, Nitu is waiting and she won’t have anything till we both sit down and eat”and leaves.
Aryan stands there confused. Bhairav’s word were clear yet he felt there is some inner meaning of his words. “Was he overthinking?” he asked himself but neither he could deny nor accept. Then taking a deep breath he scolded himself, “behave yourself Aryan stop thinking these stuffs and have food in peace” and left shooing off his thoughts.
~Somewhere in the dark room~
A woman is scolding a man: I don’t think you are now required here. Get out.
Man1: Please forgive me mam. Everything was planned but someone took her with him before we could kidnap her.
Woman: (Questioning) someone?? What do you mean my he took her?
Man2: Mam medicine was working and she was about to faint but a boy came suddenly and he carried her with him and took her with himself.
Woman: (Confused) how did a man came there? Damn it Nitya, you are very lucky. This is the third time you are saved.
Man2: Mam we noticed something.
Woman: (irritated) WHAT?
Man1: The bus came out of nowhere. That bus has no record of leaving Mumbai. Infact It was not in Mumbai only.
Woman: What do you mean?
Man2: Mam if you remember, last time when we attacked Nitya she had run away and this was the same bus that she fled on.
Woman: WHAT??? You mean?
Man1: (to himself) dumb woman (to woman) I checked the number plate and it was same so went through various checkposts and it had started it’s journey from the middle not from Mumbai.
Woman: (thoughtfully) this means either it’s her luck or someone is protecting her (to men) keep your eyes on her I need every information on what she does
Man1: Okay Mam we will make sure to let you know her whereabouts (to himself) keep on dreaming you dumb woman. Nitya will always be safe now because Bhairav is back your time is almost up do whatever you want but the family will always be safe. I will make sure of it.
~After some days … Malhotra Mansion~
“Meher, you should go. It’ll get late” says Anika
“Anika there is so much work at home” protests Meher yet again making Anika sigh in frustration looks at fridge… wait not fridge but behind it… Abeer is signing her to make Meher understand
“Aunty I’ll help Mom you go” says Atharv watching his mother and uncle.
“But Atharv I am fine…” she tries to deny but Atharv speaks “Aunty, you are not well, you almost fainted twice today and you look exhausted too. Please visit the hospital” requests Atharv puppy face and when Mehar was about to protest again he spoke, “Aunty I promise I will do as mom says and you will not get any complaints too. (with puppy face) Please go. Your health matters the most than these households. Please! Please! Pretty please”.
Meher sigh smilingly and nods affirmatively but she is shocked when Atharv calls Abeer and he comes out of the hidden spot.
Atharv: Abeer uncle! She agreed.
Abeer: (coming out from behind the fridge) Thank you so much Atharv. I owe you a video game for this.
Atharv: Wow! really?? Done!
Meher: (Narrowing her eyes) what is going on here? So this was all planned?
Abeer: (clarifying) Uhh.. not completely, I actually had asked Anika to make you agree for the hospital but our big champ did so obviously he deserved a gift.
Meher: But I have a condition.
Anika: Yeah Yeah, no injections. We know. (Abeer chuckles)
Meher: If so then I am all okay. By the way where are others?
Anika: Shivaye is helping Suk and Mani with their revision. Nitya is with Aditi and Krish preparing them for tomorrow’s exam. Aryan is out due to some work and Bhai has gone out to bring groceries.
“Wow Anika you made Bhairav do shopping…” says Abeer making Atharv and Meher laugh.
“Mamu was whining like a kid but mom blackmailed him that she will not let him go for jogging tomorrow if he doesn’t go to buy groceries” says Atharv laughing and Abeer stares Anika as if she has ten eyes.
“Hats off Anika, at least there is someone except Nitya who can make him do shopping” says Abeer and all four of them burst out laughing.
Their laughter silents hearing someone clearing throat. They look towards the source and finds out he was Aryan. Abeer, Anika and Meher look at each other with mischief in their eyes watching Aryan. He clears his throat again and grabs the water bottle and drinks little.
“Wow… looks like your throat was too much dry” says Abeer teasing Aryan whereas the girls pretend they have no Idea what is going on. Atharv stares at the elders and finds their behavior fishy but shoos it off.
“Uhm.. uhhh.. not much… I was just wetting my throat” reasons Aryan but even he knows that he had no issue of throat. It’s just that he could not bear Abeer talking about Bhairav and Nitya’s relationship.
“Ummm… Abeer shouldn’t you take Meher? I think you are getting late” said Aryan in an attempt to change the topic unaware that he will be trapped again.
“Oh yaa… wait how long have you been listening to us?” asked Abeer smirking and Aryan mentally slapped himself for not thinking before speaking .
“Umm not long… I just came when you were explaining Meher” he said praying inside that Abeer believes.
“Ohh right, Abeer lets go” cuts out Meher not to make Aryan uncomfortable because she knows her husband can sometimes be pain in butt.
Meher drags Abeer who is giving teasing look to Aryan. Aryan smiles awkwardly at Anika who tells him to go to Adi and Krish in a manner as if nothing has happened.
After Aryan goes out Anika smiles at Atharv and says: What happened son? Is all okay?
Atharv: I am all okay mom tell me what should I do?
Anika: It’s all okay Athu, I’ll do it. We don’t have much work.
Atharv: Mom! (Pouts)
Anika smiles at his face and caresses his hair lovingly. She then places a tender kiss over her son’s forehead whereas Atharv feels bliss with his mother’s love.
Anika: Okay lets do a thing, you go fresh up and then we will see photo albums. whats say?
Atharv: Awesome! I’ll just come. (he is about to go but stops remembering something) Mom!
Anika: It’s in the shelf of store room. And yeah you can bring your albums too (said Anika understanding her son’s wish whereas Atharv stares her wide eyes)
Atharv: How? (he questions in his heart)
Anika: Because I am your mother. (answers Anika as if she heard him)
Atharv looks at her shocked yet with an awed smile whereas Anika shakes her head and answers his unasked question “it is parental instinct beta. You might not voice out the words but a parent can feel his/her child’s emotions. You are my part Athu, I might not have known you like I have known Sukanya or Shivaye might not know Suk like I do but we can feel you both. Infact I was the first person ever to feel you so a mother understands her children’s emotion more.”
Atharv comes to her and hug her tight and whispers something Anika couldn’t hear but she could clearly feel his love for her in the hug. She kisses his hair and tells him to get ready and he goes with a smile on his face. While going he did not fail to notice the content smile on Anika’s face that clearly says how happy she is…
