Chapter-51
Arjun was doing his work when kabir, sam entered. Looking up at them, he immediately closed the laptop which made them suspicious, "Kya karrahe hoh?"
"Tumse matlab!" Arjun retorted keeping the laptop aside, "Kyu aye yaha!"
Kabir moved to check the drip, looking at shree, "Beeche mei utha yeh?"
"Haa! Todhider, juice pilaya!" Nodding he checked his pulse. "Pulse toh theek hai lekin bhukar hai abhi bhi! Par medicines se theek hoga!" He said with relief.
Sam looked at Arjun, tried to take the laptop, "Arjun laptop mujhe dhe!"
"Kyu, kal mera phone todhna kafi nahi tha ki aaj laptop bhi todhne chahte hoh? Chuna bhi mat tum aur shree ko dekhliya jao yahase!" He hissed glaring at them.
Crossing his arms, "Haa shree ko dekhliya aur woh theek hai lekin tum nahi Arjun! Issliye mere saath chalo!"
"Yeh Dr wala look Shree pe kaam ayega mujhpe nahi! Abh jao warna mera sabar ka bandh tuthega!" He said avoiding to look at them.
Both tried to make him leave but when he didnot listen, so came down dejectdly, nodding no at the family.
"Bas bahut hogaya unke manmani!" Saying Suryakant moved upstairs. Arjun got startled when his dad barged in but didnot make a move to look up at him.
Suryakant watching him, "Arjun neeche chaliye humhe aapse kuch baat karna hai!"
"Nahi! Kuch baat karne ko seesh nahi! Abh aap jayiye yaha se! Chote so raha hai, woh uthjayega!" He replied patiently in low tone not to disturb shree.
But Suryakant not having his stubborness, caught his hand pulling him up, "Hum puch nahi rahe, bata rahe!"
"Dad!" Arjun tried to remove his hold, though not keeping his full strength knowing he could injure him.
As he was pulled, halted as Shree caught his hand in sleep. Looking at them, Suryakant softened his gaze "Arjun chupchap neeche chaliye! Aapko shree ke kasam!"
"What the hell dad!" Arjun gritted his teeth but gently removed Shree's hold, placing hand back on his chest, silently moved out following his dad. The family looked at both angered faces sighed as both are no different.
Arjun looking at them, "Wah! Pura parivvar yaha hai!" He said sarcastically, glaring at them, "Wrong, mera bhai waha upar hai, aur aaplogon ko mujhse baat karna hai, aisa kaunsi jaruri baat hai joh shree ke theek hone tak wait nahi karsaktha? Jante hain na uske halath, agar woh uthega aur mei aas apas nahi huh toh react karraha woh!"
"Hum jante lekin humhe keval shree ke hih nahi aapke bhi chinta hai Arjun!" Rajveer told with concern while he got confused.
"Mujhe kya hua? Mei bilkul theek huh, aapsab ko chinta karne ki koi jaruart nahi!" he assured them.
"Acha!" Kabir gritted his teeth, moving towards him pulled his shirt revealing the scratch, "Phir yeh kya hai?"
Looking at him, then at his family he glanced at sakshi, who shook her head in yes, sighed, "Jaan kyu batai tum?" He asked softly.
"Kyu matlab? Arjun itni badi baat aap humsab se chupana chahte?" Rajveer questioned him
Looking at him then at others, "Team all of you! Apne kamre mei jao!"
"Ayesha tum rukhsakthi hoh! Iss parivaar ki hissa hoh tum!" He told her when she was about to go.
Looking at sheen, then Shree's friends, "Manik tum sab bhi! Shree ke paas jao woh akela hai, saathi Sheen ko bhi lekar jao!"
Once they left he looked at them, "abh baat kijiye kya baat karne aap sabko joh kal se mere peeche pade!"
"Itni badi baat humsab se chupane ki kyu jarurat pada?" Sam growled angrily clenching his fist.
Raising a eyebrow at him, "pehle aapsab chote ke baare mei mujhse chupaya! Uske peeche ka kya wajah hai?"
They looked down as he is still upset, "Arjun! Hum jante hai aap naraz hai par istarah apne baare mei na batana yeh theek nahi!"
"Seriously dad, aapsab ke barose mei gaya yaha se yeh umeed mei ki mera bhai surakshit hoga aapsab ke beech!" Arjun yelled on them.
"Aur aaplog kya kiya, uska dyaan tak nahi rakhpaya! aur aaplog mujhse apne bhai ke baare mei chupana chaha! Toh mera aaplog se baat na karna kounsi badi baat hai!"
"Aur tum sam, chote ki zimmedari dekhe gaya na mei! Toh mera bhai ka yeh halath kaise hua! Kaha tey tum jab usse target kiya! Uske yeh halath ke zimedar keval shikender aur woh log nahi joh usspe haath lagaya balki tum bhi hoh! Aur mei tumhe isskeliye jindagi bar maaf nahi karne wala!" Arjun told him firmly.
"Aur mujhe maafi chahiye bhi nahi Arjun! Tum nahi balki mei khud apne aap ko maaf nahi karpaunga!" He whispered slowly, looking at his hand, "Inn hathon se usko uthake hospital lekar gaya mei, har pal martha raha mei, har pal apne aapko khos raha huh ki itna bada officer, ETF cheif hone ke baad bhi apne hih bhai ko bacha nahi paya kuch hothe huye!" While family felt sad hearing him.
Arjun closed his eyes, clenching his fist knowing his words hurt him but remained silent.
"kabir dekho usse!" Suryakant interferred stopping them.
"Tum dur raho mujhse, mujhe koi checkup nahi karwana agar aapsab ka hogaya toh mei jaraha huh" Arjun hissed pushing Kabir hand.
"Arjun!!" Suryakant yelled loudly startling them.
"Bahut hochuka abh! Tumdono bhaion se tangh aa chuke hum! Ek beemar hai toh dusra zidh par athak jate, na kiske sunthe!"
"Jab aap hospital mei hai tey shree zidh kiya aur abh aap karrahe? Woh toh ghar mei chota hai, bacha hai hum samaj sakthe lekin aap bade haina, baat samajne ki koshish kyu nahi karthe! Haa mana ki aap humse naraz hai par yeh koi tarika nahi humse baat karne ka!"
Making him sit forcibly, he nodded at Kabir, who took his wrist, chiding as Arjun resisted, "Arjun, bas bhi kar!"
Arjun relented, clenching his fist. "Kabir?" Arpita sat beside holding his hand gently which Arjun didnot brush off not to hurt his mom.
"Badimaa! Abhikeliye he is good, par kuch test karwake dekhna hoga! Yeh keval stress ke karan hua ya kuch aur!" Kabir replied.
"Theek hai!" Going towards him, Suryakant laid his hand on him, gently caressing his head, " beta humsab jante aur samjthe apke dard, narazgi sabkuch! Lekin humne joh kiya woh aapkeliye kiya! Aap ek mission pe gaye, hum kaise shree ke baare mei batake aapko distract karthe!"
Arjun closed his eyes, he knew why and what probed them to do it but didnot want to understand it kept adamant face, listening to his dad " shree ke baare na batane keliye we are sorry! Par isstarah apna dyaan na rakhne se kuch labh nahi hoga, balki aap beemar padjayenge aur shree uske khatir hih sahi apne dyaan rakhiye!"
Arjun sighed leaning into his touch, missing their comfort, "Sorry Dad! Aapse batameezi karne keliye!"
"It's okay Arjun!" his dad assured him gently.
Watching him calming down the others sighed in relief as atleast now he will take care of himself.
Kabir looking at him, " Arjun mere saath chalo ek injection dena hai!"
Hear upstairs sheen noticed shree waking up, called him, "shree bhaiya!"
Still in sleepy state, he whispered "Bhaiya!" searching for his brother, immediately opened his eyes not feeling him near, looked around noticed his friends, "Bhai kaha hai?"
"Sab neeche hai Shree, kuch baat karrahe!" Ali replied helping him to sit.
Nodding he looked at sheen, he smiled asking "Hey sheen! Kab ayi hoh? Aur exam kaisa gaya?" while she hugged him suddenly, "aap theek hoh?"
Feeling wetness on his shoulder, "Areh pagli kyu rorahi hoh dekho mujhe kuch nahi hua! I am fine!" He whispered stroking her hairs, while his friends shook their heads.
"Sachi!" She asked to which he assured, "Sachi!" Pinching his neck, saw her nodding.
"Acha madam, woh ek baar bataya toh manli tum aur kal se mei kitne baar kaha phir bhi mera dimag kharahi thi tum!" Ali glared at her.
"Kyunki tum mujhe bhai ke bare mei batana theek nahi samja!" She glared back throwing a pillow at him.
"Abh bas bhi karo tumdono! Agar koi dekhliya toh, Ali abhitak kisko tumdono ke pyaar ke baare mei nahi pata!" Shree stopped them as only he and his friends knew about it.
"Hmm! Madam ki padhai puri hone ka wait joh karraha mei!" He replied looking at her with love who blushed turning away.
Chuckling at her, "Abh batao kaisa hua tumhari exam!"
"Bilkul A1! Dekhna mujhe admission jarur milega!" She replied proudly.
"Agar tumhe ache marks aye bhi nahi! Clg mei tera admission jarur hoga!" Nirvan replied sarcastically.
"Oye tu kyu jal rahe hoh? Tum toh uss clg mei char saal pade tey!" She reverted.
"Issliye toh chitna horaha humhe kya haal hoga clg ka tum aur tumhara gang ke karan!" He teased her.
"Chup Nirvan! Tangh mat karo, aur tumsab jante hai bhaiya, sam bhai aur jiju itni asani se rules bend nahi karenghe! Wohlog toh mujhe bhi suspend karwaya ek baar bhulgaye?" Shree reminded them, "Clg mei daanth padna alag aur ghar mei bhi!"
They all nodded, remembering their clg days! "Haa wohlog padhai mei bahut strict rehtey!"
"Issliye toh mujhe kal ane nahi diya! Mei ana chahti par sam bhai ka call aya aur unhone warn kiya bina exma ke wapas na anekeliye!" Sheen huffed while they chuckled at her.
Shree wanted to ask his friends the reason for coming but with sheen he didnot brought the topic, involved in casual talks. While they were talking Arjun entered inside along with Kabir rubbing his arm.
Hearing their footsteps all looked at the door, watching Arjun, "Bhaiya kya hua?" Shree panicked trying to get up, but felt a hand stopping him looked up and saw his brother staring right at him.
"Kya karrahe hoh chote? Kaha na bed se neeche nahi utharna hai tumhe!" Arjun chided lowering him onto bed.
"Mei theek huh, lekin aapko kya hua? Kyu apne haath ko rub karrahe tey?" Shree fired his questions, "aapko chot toh nahi laga na?"
Watching him working up himself, Arjun stopped him, "Chup chote! Mere baat sunho pehle, kuch nahi hua! Mei bilkul theek huh aur koi chot bhi nahi laga!"
"Phir?"
Arjun sighed knowing he won't let it go, lied "Stress mat lo theek hai! Mera BP low hogai, toh Jiju ne injection diya!"
"What?" Shree got up with worry ,"Bp kaise low hogai? Aap theek hoh na? Jiju bhaiya theek haina?"
"Shree!" They tried to stop his rambling
"Achanak BP kaise low hogai apka? Jiju koi problem toh nahi na!" He started firing questions not giving them time to react.
Fed-up, Arjun closed his mouth, fixing a look, "Chup! Kitna bakbak karthe hoh!"
"Mei kehraha huh na, sab theek hai! Kuch nahi hua mujhe! Abh shaanth hojao!" Arjun ordered removing his hand.
Pouting at him, "sach mei theek hoh!" and got a firm nod in return.
Next day, Kabir removed the IV, "Chote! Koi uchal khud nahi! Bedrest lena hai ek hafte tak!" while Shree pouted, "Atleast mei neeche toh jaa saktha huh na, todhi der!" "Haa baba bilkul! Lekin humese koi ek tumhare saath hoga!" Arjun made him eat light food and gave medicines due to which he slept again.
In the afternoon his friends came to meet "Tumlog wapas kyu aye?" Shree asked immediately as Manik was checking his wounds.
"Kyunki kisiko apne jaan daav par lagane mei bahut maza araha tha toh dekhne aye hum!" Manik replied sarcastically in the same tone, while the others shook their head.
"Manik! Chod na, beemar hai woh!" Nirvan stopped him.
"Issliye baat karraha huh mei nirvan! Warna iske kartooton ke baad yeh baate nahi maar deserve kartha hai!" He spatted while Shree made a face.
"I know tumsab naraz hoh and I am sorry! Tumlogon se touch mei na rehne keliye!" He whispered apologising, as after Roshini death he told them not to be in touch for their safety purpose though he kept tabs on them through Ali.
"Shree! Hum teenon yaha nahi iska matlab yeh nahi tha ki tum apne dard takleef humse chupao! Teen saal pehle tum chahte tey humsab koi contact na rakhe, par iska yeh matlab bilkul nahi hum tumhe bhuljayenge! Jistarah tum Ali se humsab ki khabar rakhte ussi prakar Ali tumhare baare mei bata the! Bahut baar ana chahte hum....lekin Ali assured that you are fine!" Nirvan told him.
" Humhe laga tum kush hoh shree! Aur ek din achanak Ali ka phone aya joh tere liye pareshan tha aur sab bataya bina kuch chupaye! Aur humhe wapas ana pada apna!" They avoided talking about the attack.
They talks were halted due to knock. The three frowned as normally no one would disturb them, saw Liza standing at the entrance whom they didnot recognise.
"Waha kyu khadi hoh tum, ander avo!" Shree invited her. Coming inside she looked at the three with hesitation but nonetheless keeping the tray on table, "tumhare liye fruits!"
Nodding he looked at her softly, "Tum theek hoh?" his question suprised his friends.
"Haa! Aur tum? Abh kaise feel karrahe hoh?" She asked looking at him with love. She couldn't meet him till now, as Sameer ordered them not to disturb him.
Nodding, "office nahi gaye tum?"
"Koi nahi gaye shree! Sab outhouse se kaam karrahe! Koi case bhi nahi aya!" Their talkings were interuppted by his friends who cleared their throat.
"Dekho! Shree abhi bhi weak hai tum apne office ki baat baad mei karo, philal usse aram ki jarurat hai!" Virat told straight to her.
"Guys!" Shree shook his head.
"Shree! Chup, hogi tumhari dost lekin fhilal you need rest!" Manik glared at him.
Liza frowned as she never met these or had no idea about them but what she could realise is that they had a good bond between them. "You are right! Shree tumhe aram ki jarurat hai aur humhari baat baad mei bhi hosaktha! Take care mei baad mei milti huh!"
"Liza! Rukho todhider! Aur inse milo yeh mere bachpan ke dost hai, Anurag, nirvan aur Virat! Ali ke alawa yeh theen mera baare mei sabkuch jante hai!" Smiling she waved her hand at them who nodded.
"Aur guys meet Liza, ETF forensic expert!".
As soon as he said it , they got suprised, "Liza! Yani Liza de'crouz!" Nirvan raised his eyebrow, while they both frowned, Manik gritted his teeth, "Ali! Is she?" Upon his nod the three gave a angry expression startling her.
"Dekhiye Miss De'crouz, isse pehle hum kuch kahe it's better you leave! Right now!" Manik stood straight giving a deadly glare.
"Manik! Kya bakwas karrahe hoh?" Shree tried to get up but hissed in pain startling them.
Holding his shoulders, "Chup! Chupchap Leith jao! Aur tum jao yaha se!" Virat told her.
"Dekho I don't know tumlogon ki prblm kya hai par Shree ko dard mei nahi chodsaktha mei!" She replied adamantly trying to help shree but Manik stepped in between.
"Funny right! Joh khud isse itna dard diya uske muh se yeh baate theek nahi! Leave right now, isspehle mei Arjun bhai aur pure parivaar ke samne uss accident wali baat rakhu!" He spat angrily.
Hearing it she took a step back in guilt while Shree looked at them in horror as how come they knew about it, glanced at Ali hissed, "Bewakoof kyu bataya sabko!"
"Toh jhoot boltha humhare doston ko!" Ali reverted in same tone.
Looking at Liza her tears, he sighed softly, "Liza tum jao inko kuch galti fehmi huyi! Let me clear that mei baad mei milta huh!" He assured her with nod which she accepted. Before going, "I know tab mujhse bahut badi galti huyi jiska afasos mujhe zindagi bar rehega lekin yeh baat bhi sach hai ki Shree se mei bahut pyaar kartha huh aur usko dard mei nahi deksaktha mei! I hope tumlog yeh baat samjoge!"
After her exit, "Tumlog usse galat samajrahe hoh!" Shree pointed out flatly.
"Shree no more discussion on this! Pehle tum theek hojao uske baad baat karthe!" His friends assured as they did notice the love, concern in her eyes. At the same Manik got call from Kabir which he took going aside while the others involved him in talks.
"Haa jiju! Theek hai mei kartha huh!" Ending the call he looked at them.
"Ali! Arjun bhai ko bhulake lao, shree ke medicines ka time hogaya!" He told and handed fruits to him, "Yeh khalo pehle!"
He tried to eat with his right hand but the pain didnot allow him, "Nahi mujhse nahi hoga!"
Arjun who was coming back, "aise kaise khana toh padega na chote!' saying he took place beside and helped him to eat and drink water, "kuch aur chahiye!"
Nodding in no he placed head on his shoulder. "shree ek second, muh kholo!" Manik forwarded the thermometer.
"Nahi mei theek huh tum apna doctor giri kahi aur dhikao mere upar nahi!" He huffed glaring at him.
"Chote! Chup!" Arjun chided gently giving a stern look, took his temperature which was lowered slightly.
Making him take medicines, he asked him to sleep. But bore of taking rest he shook his head and involved Arjun talking nonsense, with his friends reminding about clg days. suddenly they heard a shout coming from down.
"Yeh sam bhai ke awaz hai!" Shree murmured getting up.
Stopping him, "Nahi Shree yahi rukho, mei dekhta huh!" Saying Arjun moved out.
But shree not listening got up, watching, "Shree kya karrahe hoh? Bhai ne mana kiya na?"
Steadying himslef, "haa Par sam bhai bahut gusse mei lagrahe, aur jistarah Arjun bhaiya ke naam pukar rahe tey, kuch toh gadbad hai mujhe jana hoga!" Saying he took slow steps, coming down with help of his friends halted at the stairs.
Downstairs, all gathered watching him yelling for Arjun, "Sameer, kya horaha yaha? Isprakar chilane ki kya baat hai?" Rajveer questioned his son.
"Dad! Aaj koi beech mei nahi bolega! Yeh Mere aur Arjun ke beech ke mamle hai!" Sam replied trying to control his anger.
The team who followed him, got worried as he is very much angry.
"Arjun!" Sam yelled again.
Coming downstairs, "Kyu chila rahe hoh? Hua kya?" Arjun questioned without any care.
Watching him, Sam anger reached topside, moved swiftly slapped his face shocking everyone, who shouted his name.
"SAM/ BHAI/ SIR/"
Clenching his fist, Arjun glared at him.
"Sameer yeh kya batameezi hai?" Gayatri shouted on him but he shook his head, "mom aaj nahi! He crossed a line today!"
"Lekin sam hua kya?" Kabir questioned not understanding a thing, as he came back just now from hospital and saw him slapping Arjun.
"Batata huh! Ayesha Tv on karo!" Sam growled glaring at Arjun.
As soon as TV was on, everyone saw the news channels were exploding with breaking news. Two industries which belong to high class members of mumbai had caught fire and were burned down into ashes.
"Sameer, iska aur apne bhai ke upar haath uthane mei kya relation hai!" Suryakant questioned him not understanding.
"Hai badepapa! Kyunki yeh Arjun ne karwaya! Yeh dono industries ke chairpersons, Shikender ke aadmi hai!" He informed them.
"Aur abh, woh shikender aur dangerous hoga kyunki Arjun woh do important factories ko jalake rakh kardiya, jaha Shikender ke illegal activities hota hai!"
"Shikender shaanth nahi beithne wala abh!" Sakshi whispered slowly, "Yeh kya soch kar kiya aap Arjun!"
"Sakshi it's clear, usse kyu puch rahe hoh? Yeh kuch socheke karega yeh umeed rakhna bhi bhekar hai! Bas apne ego ko satisfy karna hai isse! Issliye itna bada attack bina kisko bataye kiya!" Sam scowled as he was very mad at him.
"Haa! Meine karwaya aur kounsa paap Kiya meine? Bhulo mat tumsab ke karan mei aajtak peeche hath tha aya, warna uss shikender ka kaam teen saal pehle ki khatam karchuka hotha jab usne Roshini ko humse cheenliya!" Arjun reverted back.
"Yahi gussa Arjun! Iss gusse ki baat karraha huh mei! Agar tum apne gusse ko khabhu mei nahi rkahoge toh tumhare saath saath humsabko bhi nuksaan paunchoge kahi iss gusse ke karan ek din sakshi ya Shree ko kuch..." His words halted as Arjun puched him shocking his family, "band kar apna bakwas, kya anaap shaanap bolerahe hoh?"
Sameer not backing down caught his collar, "Sach khadwa hih hota hai Arjun!"
"Bhaiya! Bhai please stop it!" Shree tried to interfere and stop them but Kabir caught him before he could get injured, "Nahi chote! Chot lagega!"
"Jiju! Rokhiye unhe!" He hid his face into shoulders not able to watch them fighting.
Watching their son's, who are fighting with eachother, Suryakant and Rajveer interferred pulling them apart, "kya tamasha lagrakha hai dono?" yelled on them.
"Yeh ghar hai aapdono ki office nahi! Aur aapdono bhai hai, yeh jhagdga sabkuch kisliye uss shikender keliye? Aur Arjun aapke himmat bhi kaise huyi apne bhai par haath uthane keliye! Maaf mangiye unse!" His dad fired on him
"Sameer aapbhi maaf manghiye Arjun se!" Rajveer ordered but both shook their heads, "Noo!!"
"Chote!" Kabir panicked voice got the family attention.
Samjun widened their eyes, realising his presence, "Chote!" Took a step forward but stopped as Kabir showed his hand.
"Don't!" He growled, "Tum dono ke karan horaha yeh!"
Shree due to headache shook his head, "Jiju dard horaha kuch kijiye!" He whispered iin pain.
"Shh!" Kabir caressed his back trying to comfort him, but suddenly Shree pushed him covering his mouth, moved to nearest washroom and threw up clutching his abdomen tightly.
He felt a hand caressing his back, whimpered, "Ahhh!" in pain.
Arjun who was right beside him, rubbed his back, "Shh! Chote! Bas bacha, hogai!" and helped him to rinse his mouth and face.
"Chote kya hua?" Kabir questioned helping him to bed.
"Jiju kuch kijiye bahut dard horaha mujhe!" He whined.
"Kaha dard horaha chote?" He asked checking his pulse which was irregular.
"Sar aur peth mei!" He mumbled weakly felt a hand caressing his hair looked up, "Mom!" Placing his head on her lap.
"Shh beta! Sab theek hoga!" pressed his forehead to relieve him from pain.
Kabir forced him to take medicine which made him fall asleep. "Kabir? Kya hua achanak isse!"
"Badepapa, mei pehle bhi warn kiya, isko stress nahi lena hai! Usika nateja yeh! Yeh dono Bewakoof bina kuch soche samje uske samne jagdhne lage!" Kabir hissed looking at them in anger, who were ashamed and guilt.
It only got increased and shocked, as Rajveer stood in front, with a dissapointment look.
"Aaj aapdono ke beech joh hua yeh theek nahi hua! We are dissapointed Arjun! Sameer!"
"Itna toh fikar karthe ki shree abhi bhi bimar hai aur kya asar padega uss par yeh dekhe!"
"Chachu! I am sorry, mujhe chote ka dyaan hih nahi tha! Mei usko room mei rehne ko bolkhe aya!" Arjun replied in regretted tone, for noticing his brother.
"Aur aapke bhai manega, yeh socha bhi kaise aapne Arjun?" Suryakant interferred with angry expression.
"Badepapa, mera dosh hai, mujhe Arjun se akele mei baat karna chahiye tha! Sabke samne nahi, par mei bhi apne gusse ko control nahi karpaya!" Sam replied lowering his gaze as partially it's his fault, should have never shouted for Arjun in first place though he is still upset at for taking this big decision without informing him.
"I am sorry! Mere karan chote ke tabeeth kharab hua!"
The elders glanced at both who are guilt, "Sameer! Arjun aapdono galat hai! Both of you made a wrong judgement! Aur isskeliye saza toh milega!"
"Aapdono Kal tak Shree se nahi milsakthe!" Rajveer said bluntly.
"Chachu!"
"Dad!" Both looked beyond shock.
"It's final! Abh aap dono kamre ke bahar jayiye!"
"Chachu please kuch bhi lekin chote se dur nahi! Aap chahe toh mujhe tappad bhi maar sakthe lekin yeh nahi!" Arjun requested him.
"Arjun, Chachu ne kya kaha sunha nahi! Chupchap jayiye yahase warna ek din nahi pure ek hafte apko shree se dur rakhenghe hum!" Suryakant told him firmly.
Sakshi noticed his broken state, unable to see him like that, "Papa!" She tried to interfere but Suryakanth nodded in no, "Nahi sakshi! Aap beech mei mat boliye! He need to learn a lesson! Aapne gusse ko control karna seekhna hai usse!"
Arjun looked at them, he would have no problem to cross his dad's words as for Shree he did it many times but he would never disobey or disrespect his chachu, but that doesn't mean he won't respect his dad, for him both are equal, both had a hand in what he has become now, sighed staring at shree who was sleeping, "Jaise aap chahte chachu! Mei chote se kal subah tak nahi milunga!" He mumbled keeping his emotions at check.
All felt the thickness in his voice which he tried to mask, under his stone expression.
Glancing at shree again Arjun left the room not even giving a glance at others who were outside.
"Sameer!" Rajveer raised his eyebrow at him.
"Dad! Yeh bahut galat hai! Humdono ke beech jitna bhi ladai hoh par Arjun ko chote se alag karna woh bhi iss condition mei yeh theek nahi! Mera bhai ka dil todhdiya aap!" Sameer fought with his dad.
"Woh issliye mana kyunki Arjun aapke koi baat asani se taalthe nahi!"
"Sameer! Bas bhi karo, chote papa se ladna!" Kabir stopped him.
"Nahi Kabir! Mei bhi dektha huh chote ko kya jawab denghe aapsab aur kaise usse sambhalenghe jab woh uthke pehle apne bhaiya ke baare mei puchega! All the best for that!" Saying he left the room angrily in search of his brother.
"Yeh wahi haina joh kuch samai pehle Arjun se jaghda karrahe tey! Aur abh uskeliye mujhse ladh rahe!" Rajveer said to no one in particular, while others chuckled as these all fight among themselves but would never allow others to hurt them.
He came to gym area where Arjun would usually be when angered or upset to control his emotions and saw him practicing taichai, shook his head.
Arjun sensed him but kept quiet doing his work. Almost when Arjun is drained, Sameer stepped up stopping, "Hogai apna gussa nikalna! Dil ko tandhak mila?"
Snatching the towel, "Kyu aye hoh yaha?"
"Kyunki mere bhai bewakoof hai! Sabse ladtha hai apne chote keliye, par jab dad kuch bolthe woh chupchap manleta!" Sam shook his head.
"Sam! Iss baat pe koi argument nahi!" Arjun sighed softly.
Looking up at his noticed a small bruise on his face, "Sorry!"
"Mei bhi!" Sam sighed taking place beside him, "I could have handled it better!"
Both sat in silence, contemplating their actions!
While this was going on her, on the otherside Shikhender anger took a dangerous vibe. The person who informed him about the damage, shot him angrily.
All shivered in fear, As he was raging with fire.....
"Mere saalon mehnat ko ek shan mei mitti mei miladiya!" Throwing the desk upside down, he yelled, "ACP Arjun Rawte!"
"Chodunga nahi tumhe! Pechli baar zinda choddiya lekin iss baar nahi!" He growled throwing all the items shattering them on the floor.
In RR mansion, after much silence, "Arjun!"
"Sam! Agr tum phirse wahi baat karna chahte toh forget it! Iss baar mei peeche nahi hathne wala!" Arjun said not going to take a step back when he himself started the war.
But he became suprised with Sam's words who replied, "Aur tumhe aisa kyu lagtha ki mei tumhe peeche hatne keliye bolunga?"
"Phir neeche woh sab?" Arjun looked confused as if he couldn't understand him anymore.
"Haa mei gussa jarur huh lekin iss baat pe nahi ki tum woh attack karwaya balki iss baat keliys ki mujhe nahi bataya! Arjun yeh jang tumhara akela ka nahi! Humsab ka hai, uss haiwan ke karan bahut badi keemat chukaya humne!" Sam whispered remembering Roshini.
"Kyu nahi bataya tumne iske baare mei?"
"Kyunki mujhe laga tum mana karoge!" Arjun replied.
"Hmm! Pehle kartha hoga, par abh nahi! Chote ke saath joh hua uske baad bilkul nahi!"
Standing he glanced outside, Going upto him, "Kyaa badla abh?" Arjun questioned.
"Arjun inn hathon mei uthake usko hospital legaya! Har second Martha raha usko dard mei tadpthe tumhe pukar tey aur mei kuch nahi karpaya! Tabhi decide kiya uss shikender ko khatam karne ka samai agaya!" Various emotions going through him, settled with determination at last.
"Par Arjun, Tum akele yeh jangh nahi jeetskathe! Shikender ko maarne keliye humsab ek saath hona jaruri hai!" He said staring at Arjun, "Wada karo! Aaj se tum akele kuch nahi karoge!"
Staring back at his brother cum friend, who is with him right from childhood, placed his hand promising him, "Wada kartha huh Sameer! Mei akele kuch nahi karunga!" Which brought a smile on his face.
Both got startled when two hands were placed on them looked up and saw Kabir, sakshi who promised, "aur hum aapke saath hai Arjun!" Sakshi assured him.
"Aur hum bhi sir!" Riya along with the team place their hands.
"Bhai! Humhe mat bhuliye!" Nirvan said along with his friends.
"Tum?"
"Bhai, usne humhare dost pe attack kiya! Uskeliye hum usko nahi chodenghe!" Manik replied with determination.
