Ram stood before the glass window...his grandfather was too stubborn, no matter how hard he tried he couldn't get Aditi's husband's name.
"Ram...you got a mail.", Vikram Sen's voice got him out of his thoughts.
"Coming Grandpa.", He spoke as he walked downstairs.
Seeing his grandpa reading the newspaper on the couch...he stared at him for a while. The servant walked towards him as he brought the mail which he received.
He hesitated yet walked upstairs holding the envelope in his hand.
He shut his door as he unwrapped the envelope. A written card showed up as his eyes turned dark. He walked towards the mirror staring at his reflection.
'Should I or not? What other options do you have...' He pitied himself as he pulled out a dose with the syringe.
His eyes were moist...He regretted, only if he listened to his grandpa at that time...how wonderful his life still would be...he regretted every single move he committed for the last few years. His anger started to pity him as he helplessly inserted the syringe into the small dose as carefully inserted it into his body.
He pulled out a garbage cover and threw the dose and used a syringe into it as he threw it in the dustbin in the corner of his room.
He heavily sighed and pulled out his phone, he stared at it for few good minutes as if he's waiting for someone to call.
The caller tune resounded in his silent room as he gave a disgusting look to himself seeing into the mirror. He pressed the green icon...
"So, What's the result? Is she really dead or is she alive ?", A young man's voice entered his ears making him shiver all over.
'Ram...she is innocent...why? If this monster knows about her....are you sure you wanna do this?', he questioned himself before he could answer the other person's question.
"Ram...Must I remind you every time...that I'm a busy person?", His cold voice brought sweat to his forehead.
"You must not be so interested in your life but are you sure you are not interested in your grandfather's too?", The young man spoke as Ram gulp down the saliva.
He slowly picked up the envelope and pulled out another set of a Dose and Syringe. He was helpless.
If he was to choose again...he would have never chosen to live this way...the girl he fell for at first sight...he wouldn't risk her life again if he has a chance to turn back everything again...but he couldn't now...his choices were already made and he was beyond any power...his tears rolled down...he was about to do something that's gonna make him regret for rest of his life.
"She...She is alive.", He spoke out.
A burst of evil laughter was heard from the other side, Ram couldn't help but tighten his fist.
"I knew it...for me, she has to be alive...Grandpa was wrong and I was right.", The voice spoke.
"Are you planning to tell your Grandpa?", Ram spoke holding all his anger back.
"No, I have my plans. Don't you dare to spill the word out unless you want her to lie there like a dead body.", He warned Ram.
"Ram...is she the same ?", He asked after a gap.
"All I could tell is that she is alive and I'm not responsible or did I promise you that I will reveal anymore details, I did my job don't forget to send the last dose on time.", Ram spoke.
"Ram you are not my match.", The other side suddenly spoke.
"What do you mean?", Ram spoke as he suppressed all his anger.
The other person's back was visible as he held little Anvi's photo which is carefully placed in a frame.
"I gave up on my life for her once and I could do it twice.", He spoke with confidence.
"Huh? Must I remind you, what kind of monster you are...If not for your family do you think she would be like this now...or if not for your family...the Vastav's would have married her to Mishra's heir long back.", His words were sharp as he mocked the other end.
"Mishra's heir...I wish to see if he dares...Hell or heaven, I am her only choice.", He spoke.
"How do you call yourself a human...?", Ram's anger reached his peak.
"Don't forget...at a point in time, it's you who said...That I am a MONSTER...and yes I am one.", He hung up the call.
Ram couldn't hold it any longer as he smashed his phone with at most strength.
"Will you blame me? I'm trash...I'm sorry...I'm really sorry...I've committed a sin.", he spoke as he stared at the cloudy weather... The raindrop started to fall as his heart bled inside.
THE VILLAS.
Hearing the rain sound...Aditi shivered as she held Anan tighter. Anan quickly pulled out the remote as he shut all the doors and prevented the sound of Rain.
The soundproof glasses shut the sounds and the curtains covered the view.
He pulled out his hand that's around her waist from the blanket as he patted her head. Aditi lifted her head only then she understood that he took some measures.
She rolled on top of him as she pulled the blanket up covering herself. Seeing the little woman on top of him...he couldn't help but place his both hands on her waist to hug her.
"When did you do this?", She questioned in her raspy voice as she bit his ear.
"The night when I stole your first kiss.", He tucked the hair that fell on her eyes.
She was moved.
"I've asked the team to install it around the house press the button nearby the window the soundproof system will raise and the curtains close so that you can't see or hear the view.", he spoke as he stared at her lovingly.
"Hubby...Was I a calm and innocent girl when I was young?", She asked.
"I doubt, more like a troublemaker instead.", He replied with at most sincerity.
She pouted as she replied with an "Oh"
"Haha...no matter how you were, I would have ended up falling for you...because to me...You are you.", He pressed his lips on hers as he recklessly moved his hand all over her body.
He rolled as he came back to the top again, Before he could go any further...her stomach growled, as she shyly stared at him.
"Hungry?", He questioned her as he stared at her lovingly.
"Hmm.", She replied.
"Let's fresh up, I'll make you something.", He pulled the robe beside him as he separated from her and carried her into the washroom.
After an hour Aditi walked downstairs as she wore his casual shirt. Anan walked out of the kitchen bring the dishes he just prepared.
He smiled as he walked into the kitchen to bring the remaining dishes.
Vastav's Mansion.
The gates open wide as the black car entered the mansion.
Karan who was in his casuals walked towards the entrance. Ram got out of the car and opened his umbrella and walked towards Karan.
"Why are you here?", Karan spoke lazily as he held the umbrella to avoid the rain.
"I went to your apartment and couldn't see you, so I came back here.", Ram spoke.
"Come in.", Karan nodded as he entered the house passing the umbrella to the servant.
Ram slowly walked in as he saw Varun and Henna speaking with Lilly and Elder Vastav.
"Grandpa, grandma, Uncle, and Aunt...Hello.", He greeted them.
"Aren't you Ram? Wahh, it's been a while child.", Lily smiled as she recognized him.
"Indeed you've grown up.", Henna spoke up.
Varun and Elder Vastav just smiled without speaking much.
"Come upstairs once you are done.", Karan spoke as he walked upstairs.
After a few exchanges of words...Ram excused as he walked towards the stairs.
He entered the floor as his eyes fell on the room beside the stairs...his fists tightened. His heart started to hurt as if someone is tearing it.
'Will I ever get your forgiveness...even if I kill myself?', he questioned himself staring at the locked bedroom...The door was just as it was 12 years back...it still had Anvi's scrap designs and arts.
He quit the thoughts as he slowly walked toward the room beside hers.
"When did you come back?", Karan spoke as he sat leisurely on the sofa.
"Been a while.", He replied.
After few minutes of regular chat...the servant knocked on the door.
"Young Master...The coffee you asked for.", The servant explained as he placed the tray and walked out of the door.
"Karan, Can I ask you something ?", Ram asked.
"Go ahead.", Karan spoke as he sipped his coffee.
"Would you still allow me to marry your sister if she was alive...?", The words left his mouth making Karan stop his actions.
Karan's silence made him more and more certain.
"No.", Karan finally spoke.
"I was jealous of him back then and casually said you would be my bro-in-law...but in this world, only Anan is worth of my sister...If she was alive to this day, only Anan would be the man who will hold her hand.", He replied as he stared at the view outside...it was raining.
"Why so sure?", Ram questioned. As expected he knew this would be his answer.
"Because he is Anvi's only choice. Her only...", He spoke as he walked towards the balcony.
Wendy's apartment.
"achoo..", Wendy sneezed.
"Mama...how many times? Why do you always love to drench yourself and then suffer like this.", Sunny spoke as he massaged Wendy's head.
"Son...rain is a feeling.", She spoke as she enjoyed his massage.
"No wonder you are single.", He whispered in anger.
"You brat...Why do you stab me like this...I'm hurt.", She faked.
"Okay okay...Wendy here dink this hot tea, you'll feel good.", Aunt Jane passed her the cup.
"Aunty Jane still best.", She smiled as she took the cup.
Seeing the child and mom...After a bit of thought...
"Child do you miss him?", Aunt Jane spoke as she saw Wendy.
"Why will she...she is busy with his son's love.", Sunny quickly spoke.
"Hmm...I'm drunken in love with my son.", She spoke as she patted his head. she pulled him into her arms and child his forehead.
Aunt Jane smiled and said nothing...Aarav has always been like this, even if he insults his mom...it is his only privilege and right, in this world only he was allowed to do that. If someone points out his mom...he would be her shield no matter what.
"Sunny...no matter what mama will love you.", She spoke after some thought.
"I know, even when the world blamed you...you held my hand. Stupid mommy, only you are so brave enough to do something stupid like that. Why didn't you just abort me?", He questioned.
"Even when the world hurt me with all their words...it wasn't that painful, but the thought of aborting you will only feel more hurting. Sunny you are a blessing to me and Aditi. We decided to give you the best. Maybe it's because she was there to protect me from the world...I was able to give a safe birth to you.", She spoke out as she hugged him tightly in her arms.
"Mama I know, in future I will protect you both.", He hugged her.
"I know.", She smiled.
