Hi friends, how are you all ❤

Chapter 2

Neelam marriage day there was lots more hustle in house. Neelam was in her room when she get a blank call. Her thought went to her best friend who is missing from a year. Yash almost forget about Aarti the moment he returned last night.

"Maa please you skipped your breakfast now please have this lunch atleast" Yash forcefully pulled Radha in kitchen.

"Yashu I don't have time here is so much work" Radha said but Yash didn't listen to her. He fed her with his hand. Radha smile and fed him some razma chawal knowing he also didn't had his breakfast and even lunch.

In evening Yash step in Neelam room, he get emotional to see her in bridal dress.

"My baby sister when you grown up to became bride" He come near her, Neelam smile as Yash drop a peck on her forehead, she hugged him emotionally.

"I'm supposed to live without her now" Radha speak beside Yash as Kartik tie the holy black thread around Neelam neck. Yash wrapped a hand around her shoulder, she smile with moist eyes looking her happy glowing daughter.

Next day Neelam Bidai took place, guests start to leave slowly. The house already screaming that Neelam left, its eating Radha to see her room empty.

"Maa" Yash found her there.

"I miss her already" Her eyes blurred with tears. Yash hugged her, he also missing Neelam but its natural she had to leave this house some day.

In evening Yash was going to his room when he heard someone giggle from one of room, he pushed door open only to get shock seeing Jay with some girl who is sitting of his lap. Jay fumble being catch like this. Yash give him a disgusting look before turn to left he gonna show Radha his so called dad real face, the girl run out of room getting scared. Jay closed door and beg to Yash.

"Please Yash forgive I won't do anything like this again. Don't tell Radha, I love her a lot its just I was drunk and that girl come in room, please give me a chance" Jay fell in Yash feet. Yash was furious he slammed fist on near wall still can't believe all this while this men was cheating his mother. Moving out he find Radha in kitchen. Jay followed him scared. Yash come near her only to her hug.

"I'm sorry Maa" He murmur.

"What happen" Radha was amazed. He speak nothing feeling guilty that he need to hide the truth from her.

"Yashu" She rub his back thinking he is missing Neelam.

********

In night when Yash went to bed Aarti crossed his mind.

"Who is she?" He remembered her red sleepless eyes.

"Who is she to Akash?" Her tears soaked face come in front of his eyes.

"Why was she in that dark room" Her scaring from him still bother him. He was too tired emotionally, first with Neelam bidai then Jay true face revealed to him. Don't know when he fall sleep with so many things running in his mind.

*******

Next morning Yash told Radha that he need to return back to Italy.

"But why so soon" Radha was sad.

"Maa you know I have my office there" He says, he can't let his business to get affect to which he gave his heart and soul, its his mother who helped him building his own office and also his bauji. Yash remembered how a time Suraj visited Italy just to meet him. Suraj was so proud of his Yash that he is best wedding planner of that country. From then they're in touch, Suraj often visit there whenever he feel like or on Yash call.

"Radha he is right business can't suffer" Jay agrees with Yash. He don't want their only earning sources to suffer. Jay recalled how his own Khurana industry was barge of shutting down when Radha joined his office. That time Radha had huge amount of alimony money after divorcing Suraj. That when Jay decided to trap her in his love, biggest reason he also accepted Yash but Radha was clever even after marriage she was not ready to break her fixed deposit which is on Yash name. She just gave her jewelleries which her parents gave her in her marriage, jay was not happy but atleast his company run till Yash office success.

"My flight is next day" Yash tell making Radha more sad.

In afternoon Yash thought of visiting Akash as he is so curious about Aarti. Akash was surprised to see Yash on his door.

"Yash" He murmur.

"Won't you welcome me" Yash ask smiling.

"Yeah, please come in" Akash gave him way.

"Where you work actually I'm in awe of all the expensive things in your house" Yash ask looking around there are everything very expensive.

"I..am...hmm" Akash fumble nervously, Yash laughs seeing his face.

"I'm thirsty can I get some drink" Yash ask. Akash nods and left to bring cold drink for both of them. Yash glance at the room where he meet Aarti last time.

"How I gonna meet her ?" Yash thought. A noise from upstairs catch his attention. Akash was shock.

"Who is there?" Yash get up. Akash try to stop Yash who is already marching to upstairs. He heard someone crying behind closed door. Before akash stop him Yash already open the door only to see Aarti crying under a guy.

"What the hell" The guy yell on Akash. Yash come forward only to punch that guy, Aarti moved into a corner sobbing. Yash kicked him black and blue then turn to look Akash.

"What are you doing with her?" Yash roared.

"Yash please calm down" Akash don't have words. Yash slapped him furiously akash fall on floor. In rage Yash kicked him in stomach, Akash cried painfully. Aarti close her mouth crying in fear. Yash turn to look her.

"No I can't take law in my hand" Yash thought before he took phone to call police. Police reached there soon and arrested akash and the other guy who was forcing Aarti.

"Please trust me I won't hurt you" Yash finally speak to Aarti who was sitting in corner, she look up at his face with her wet eyes. He forward his hand, she stare it not sure if she want this helping hand.

"Aarti" He took her name. She slowly raise her hand. Yash softly grab her hand as Aarti stood clutching dupatta to her chest. He step out of akash house, Aarti was finding it hard to face the bright light of day, its a year, freaking year after she is seeing open sky.

"Come" Yash slip hand in her hand encourage her to step ahead, she looked him before she keep her foot out of the house, for her it was nothing but living hell.

******

"My home" Yash car stop in front of his home. Aarti too step out with Yash. Radha was surprise to see a stranger girl. Yash told her about Aarti clearly. Radha was shock can't believe that Akash can do something like this. Maya who is living with them get angry on Yash for handing her son over to police.

"Bua ji Akash was using her for money" Yash tell in hard voice. Maya was not ready to listen anything she left house in anger. Aarti cries silently seeing the fight.

"Beta don't cry" Radha touched Aarti head feeling bad for her. She show Aarti a room and give Neelam clothes for change. In evening Radha asked Aarti to come for dinner. Yash notice Jay was staring Aarti from head to toe. Its disgusted him as he very well know this look.

Later Yash knock on Aarti room, she get startled.

"If you have contact number of your parents or any relative please give me" Yash ask thinking to send her to her family as soon as possible.

"I don't have anyone" she reply with a lost face. Yash feel bad for her.

"Please lock door properly" He tell. She nods without asking why he tell her to do so. Yash don't like it because she took it as some order.

Yash turn again other side of his bed as the thought of Aarti living here bother him.

"Its not safe for her" He thought.

*****

Next morning Radha was making breakfast for all when Yash come to living room and sat on a chair in front of his dad. Jay was reading news paper.

"Maa I'll give tea to Aarti" Yash pick a cup. Aarti open door as Yash knock.

"Tea" he smile at her, she look so fresh and beautiful after bath and in Neelam clothes.

"Aarti I want to talk to you something" As Aarti took her cup Yash sat on sofa, she stood there.

"Actually I need your suggestion" He move a side and eyes her to sit. She nods and sat in corner. He notice she is still not comfortable.

"Um I mean will you come with me to Italy, I live there and have a business too" He approach her. She was stunned.

"Please don't take me wrong but I just think that this place is not good for you" Yash hesitation is clear to Aarti but she can't ask the reason, actually she never learned to ask question, all she knew is take demand only to fulfill them even if its kill her inside. When she was small she saw her mother following all orders of her father and when she grown up her Mama ji took her to his home only to make her their family servant, then a day Akash kidnapped her from college only to make her his se** slave and when he get bored of her he start bringing his friends and business partners to earn money and like this her half life went just by pleasing people.

"Aarti are you even listening to me" Yash voice brought her out of her thought.

"So I was saying that please come with me" He requested her which again surprise her because other than him nobody request her for anything. She find herself nodding yes, Yash was dying to hear her voice but he is glad that atleast she accepted his request. Moving out of room Yash called Suraj.

"Bauji I need your help" Yash told him everything about Aarti, also that he want to take her to Italy and ask him to help him in making Aarti passport.

"Yash it will take 15 days and I need all the documents" Suraj tell.

"Ji I'll talk to Aarti" Yash reply little unsure about Aarti even having any documents. Later Yash announced that he is not going to Italy, Radha was more than happy that she get more time to spend with her Yashu.
