Chapter-52
Sameer who had a meeting with higher officials about the work, searched for Arjun and saw him at terrace staring at nothing silently moved towards him, "Kya soch rahe hoh?" he asked softly bring him out of thoughts.
"Kuch nahi! Dekthe dekhte humhari zindagi itni ulaj gaya! Teen saal pehle yeh sab kuch nahi tha! Agar hai toh keval khushi! Lekin abh...." He stopped his words tightly closing his eyes remembering his brother state.
Nodding, Sam kept a hand on him giving a gentle sqeeze, "Arjun! Inn teen saal mei bahut kuch hua, lekin humsab ek saath hai, isse jyada kya chahiye humhe! Dekhna bahut jald sab theek hoga." He tried to keep postiveness
"Chote ke guneghar se milna chahte hoh!" Sam asked with a growl in his voice.
Hearing him, Arjun eyes became hard as he should settle some scores and this would be perfect time as he cannot meet Shree, nodded, "Jarur! Chote ko haath lagake itne der zinda hona undono ki kush kismat hai! Chalo!" He gritted out, jaw set firmly.
Kabir who was in garden attending the call, saw both going somewhere, studying their faces, ended the call stepping in their way, " Kaha chale?" he raised his eyebrow.
"Farmhouse!" Arjun growled moving to bring his car.
"Sam!" Kabir called out desperately, "Usko waha lejane ka matlab kya hai? Out of control hoga!" worried for his health.
"Janta huh, lekin he needs it! Apne ander ki gusse ko bahar nikala hoga usse!" Sam replied and turned as Arjun honked the car.
Sighing, "Theek hai mei bhi chalta huh!"
The trio reached the farm house, where the goons were tied and tortured but were kept alive. Greeting khanna they moved to the basement, eyes hard filled with rage watching both Robert n Alex who dared to touch their baby brother swiftly moved inside.
Robert n Alex who were beaten to death and bloodied shivered looking at them. Arjun slamming his hands on the table leaned forward growled, "Shikender kaha hai?"
They shook their head, "Humhe nahi pata!"
"Pata hai tum dono ko sabke saath kyu nahi maara humne!" Sameer growled from back.
They had no idea looked at them confused as they never thought a team member would be that important to them.
But still Smirking at them, "Kaisa hai Shreekanth! Zinda hai ki...." His words were left in air as a punch was thrown acorss his face making him to spit blood.
"Uske naam mat lo apne gandhe zubaan se!" Kabir growled standing aside, "Agar apne salamati chahte!"
"Tum kaun?" Alex questioned with confusion.
Folding his arms, "indono ka!" Pointing at Samjun! " Then looking staright at them, he scowled, " aur Jisse tumlog dard paunche uska Jiju Kabir Singhania!"
Both eyes widened trying to gasp the truth looking at Samjun, stammered, "Matlab...."
"Matlab tumlogon ke maut!" Sam growled taking rod from Khanna.
"Bahut badi galti kiye, koi humhe target bhi kare hum kuch nahi karthe....lekin koi humhare apno ko dard paunche woh zinda nahi rahega!"
"Aur tum usko dard paunchaya jisse hum apne palkon mei bithake paala!" Saying he started beating them, "Himmat bhi kaisa hua humhare bhai pe haath lagane ka!".
But Arjun was standing at the back, going through their things to get any info about Shikender, leaving them in Sameer's hand for time being, searched their phone records but his gaze stuck into one recent file which was recorded hesitated to click but still opened it and the floor below him seized watching his brother torture, clenched his fist.
Kabir who watched him, moved towards, "Arjun kya hua?" gasped in shock watching the video
Treating shree when he brought in that state knew extend of the torture he has gone through but watching the same he couldn't digest, looked at Arjun who face remained stoic and firm, noticed a painful tear escaping from his right eye.
Alex who was getting beared brutally got a glimpse of Arjun laughed, "ACP Rawte, Video acha haina!" Knowing he saw the video.
Sam who was whacking them stopped looking up at Arjun, "Kounsi video?"
Alex smirk turned to horrified as Arjun took a whip from the table, slashing it on his body, "Mere bhai pe haath lagake itni samai tak zinda rehna tumlogon ki kush kismathi hai!"
Arjun tortured them exactly the same way with more implement as they did to his brother.
Taking a large needle he stabbed right through Alex, who shouted in pain gritted, "Mera bhai ko aise hih dard diya na!"
After continuously getting poked, Alex cried out not able to withstand the pain, "Please nahi, maaf kardo!"
But Arjun was in no mood of mercy, the video, watching his brother going through the torture broke every restraint he had on himself tortured punching him breaking his nose.
Watching them, Robert shivered remembering he was the one who tortured shree mainly throwing chiding remarks, looked up at Sameer as he is the only sane person who could stop him, "Oi! ACP Rathod, Rukho apne uss ACP Arjun ko! Pagal hogaya hai aur Maar raha hai usse!"
But Sam, Kabir gave a deaf ear to him watching the drama with folded hands.
Arjun who was busy on Alex snapped at Robert who shivered with the glare directed at him, noticed him moving towards the table and taking out a large knife, he caught his fingers twisting them making him groan in pain, "In haathon se mere chote ko chot paunchaya na! Uska khoon bahaya!" and made deep cuts on his wirsts.
By the time Arjun finished with him, there is no place where a cut was not made on his body.
Still not satisfied he ordered his security to tie them on the table, their hands and legs tied. Taking the rod Arjun started thrashing them blue and black, removing his anger, frustation for giving pain to his brother.
The room was filled with their agonized yells but no one made a move to stop Arjun who is very angry. In his anger he didnot see when his hand became bruised, "Sam! Usko rokhna hai, khud ko chot pauncha rahe!" Saying Kabir moved forward, "Arjun! Bas chodo abh!" and pulled away the rod from his hand, throwing it he took his hand to assess the damage!
Shaking his hand, he looked at both who were made to kneel before them, Took out his pistol, he shot them on head emptying the bullets in them. Sam dragged him upstairs, ordering the security to clear everything.
"Sam! Ice lekar avo!" Kabir instructed taking Arjun's hand, "Abhi hogai tasali! Chote ke guneghar ko maut ke saza diya tumne!"
Arjun who was emotionally and physically tired, leaned on to his shoulders, "Usse chote ke gaav toh nahi bhar jayega na Kabir!"
Wrapping a arm around his shoulder, "Nahi! Lekin itna sukoon toh hai ki humhare chote ke guneghar ko saza toh mila!"
Sam who came back with ice, sat opposite to them, took Arjuna hand. Feeling coldness Arjun hissed in pain which made them cringe as he would never show his pain normally.
Gently applying ice, Sam ruffled his hairs kissing his forehead, "Chale ghar!"
With a nod, they returned back, While Sam drove the car. Getting down, "apne kamre mei jaa raha huh, kuch der tak akela chodo muje! Baad mei milthe hai!" Without hearing them he left to his room.
"Kaise uska dard kam kare hum!" Both thought moving inside. Kabir went to Shree and saw Sakshi was present, got an idea, "Choti!"
"Jiju! Aap kaha gaye, mei apko dundh rahi thi!" Sakshi questioned as Shree was in pain in the middle.
"Kya hua?" He was immediately beside Shree concerned about him, "Manik ko batake gaya na mei!"
"Ha Manik ne sambhala!" She replied.
Nodding he checked shree whose pulse was normal, "Acha mei rukhta huh tum jao! Arjun ko tumhari jarurat hai!"
Sakshi frowned but nodded not asking a question as he looked tired. Coming to their room she saw Arjun sitting on floor, all curtains drawn making the room dark...staring at the photo album, closed the door bolting it.
Slowly going towards him she kneeled before cupping his face, " Arjun!" But got startled as he hugged her suddenly, "Jaan!"
Caressing his back, "Shh! Arjun kya hua aap mujhe dara rahe!" She tried to console him.
"Jaan!" He cried in her shoulder. Sakshi understood he needs to remove the pain from inside, "Arjun! Apne ander ki sare dard nikhaliye! Mere samne tough hone ki jarurat nahi! Mann se apna bhoj nikaliye, warna yeh aapko shaanth nahi karega!" As he didn't break or shared his pain with anyone.
Arjun hugging her closely cried in her embrace removing every bit of pain he is experiencing. They stayed in same postion for how long didnot took notice of the time. Arjun felt light in his chest looked up at Sakshi staring at her, "Thankyou Jaan!" Pecked her lips.
"Abh aap theek hai?" She questioned brushing the fringes which fell on his forehead wiping away the sweat.
Nodding he nuzzled her face in her neck crook inhaling her scent, mumbled, "Hmm!"
"Arjun! Ek baat boliye!" She asked looking up.
"Kya Jaan?"
"Kya kiya unnlog ko joh humhare custody mei tey!" Staring right into eyes, to assess whether he is lying on not. But Arjun simply replied, "Maar diya!"
Knowing it she sighed, "Hmm... Mei aapke liye garam paani tayar karthi huh! Aap naaha lijiye! Stress kam hoga!" Saying she got up along with him.
He silently followed her into washroom, leaning on to wall as she prepared water for him. Turning to him, "aap fresh hojayiye mei kapde nikaltha huh!"
Before she could exit he caught her wrist and pulled her that she fell right on to his chest, "Aap kya karrahe?"
Tucking a hair lock behind her ears, gazed at her intently slamming his rough lips against her soft petals.Responding to him she encircled her hands around the neck. Both came out of reluctantly to gasp for air, pressing his forehead to hers, "Mere saath shower lelo Jaan!"
Staring at his eyes, she nodded as he pulled her pallu away along with other clothes covering her.
In the evng, sakshi wokeup and saw Arjun sleeping, ruffled his hair with a soft smile, "Dho din ke baad aapko aram karthe dekh raha huh mei Arjun!"
Placing a kiss on his forehead, she came out of his embrace not disturbing his sleep, covered herself with blanket and moved into washroom to get fresh. Changing to daily wear, she came out and got ready, blushing herself thinking about their moments.
Otherside, Sam after attending a phone call from high authority, directly went to Ayesha who is with the team. Noticing him the team became silent, "Sir! Shree kaisa hai? Kya hum usse milsakthe?" Chotu questioned with concern.
"Abhi nahi chotu! Baad mei jab woh complete recover hoga tab! Abhi bhi he is weak!" Sam replied knowing their close bond established among them.
"Liza!" He called her.
"Chinta mat karo... He is fine but weak! Tum subah milli hona usse!" As he was the one who sent fruits with her, while the team looked Suprised.
"Thankyou sir!" Liza smiled for atleast allowing her visit him, though they are not obliged.
Nodding, "Apna dyaan rakho aur tum sab bhi!" Looking at Ayesha, "Mere saath chalo Ayesha!" Who followed him silently.
Once they are out of outhouse, Sam silently moved to backyard and sat on the swing tiredly. Taking place beside him she took his hand silently offering her support, "Sab theek hoga Sameer!"
Leaning on her shoulder, he closed his eyes, with a small "Hmm! Apne bhaion ki bahut chinta horaha mujhe, ek taraf shree joh bahut weak aur dusri taraf Arjun!"
Running fingers through his hairs, "Sameer! Shree bahut jald theek hoga aur Arjun, woh toh shree ko dekhe apne aap theek hojayega, aur humsab hai unhe sambhalne keliye! Aap chinta mat kijiye!"
"Chaliye, jaake todhi der aram kijiye, sab ka dekhbaal karthe apne aap ko bhul rahe aap! Kab bina koi stress ke aap aram kiye inn do din mei!" She advised worried for his health.
"Nahi Ayesha! Mei theek huh yaha! Tum Beitho mere saat todhider!" He mumbled while she stayed with him with a nod.
Shree wokeup alone, realised he is in their chachu- chachi room, remembered how he came there, leaned back on to headrest. The drugs and then medicines made him feel light, slightly shivered remembering the torture. He was showing brave face whenever others were present but deep down he still has fear of someone attacking him.
Looking at his wrist, which were bandaged felt bile rising up but shoved it down taking a deep breaths. Slowly he got up ignoring the pain accompained, came out, halted as their family is the hall.
Rajveer who saw him, "Shree uth gai tum!" going towards to give support. Nodding his head he leaned on to his chachu as walk from bed to door took full of his energy.
Coming to others he assured them of being fine, "Mei theek huh mom! Abh aap yeh sab chodiye....mujhe fresh hona hai!"
"Theek hai, mei help kartha huh chalo!" His dad announced encirling a arm around his waist and helped him to his room.
"Tum fresh hojao, mei kapde nikhalke raktha huh, agar jarurat pade toh bhuladena theek hai!" Suryakant caressed his child's face not at all liking the paleness.
Shree took his time to get fresh and changed into clothes. Suryakant who was waiting for him took helped him towards bed "Abh kaise lagraha shree!"
"I am fine dad" He mumbled hiding his pain.
"Hmm! Rest lo... Mei Kabir ko bhejta huh!" he was about to go but Shree stopped him, "Nahi dad! Mujhe kamre mei rehna hai, bahut bore horaha huh! Sab neeche hai mujhe bhi waha ana hai!" He pleaded slowly.
Not able to deny his request he helped shree to come down.
"Bhaiya aur baki sab nahi dhik rahe!" He frowned as his brother normally wouldn't leave him.
"Sab aram karrahe kal se koi theek se aram nahi kiya!" his mom said informing servant to bring soup for him.
The youngsters joined them except Samjun! "chote!" Kabir called him ruffling his hair took his wrist checking his pulse.
"Toh Jiju, kya kehte hoh aap? Mei bhikul theek huh haina!" He quipped jovially, "Aur mujhe koi dawai bhi nahi lena haina!" Making a face.
Laughing at him, " Dr mei huh chote, tum nahi! Aur jabtak mei naa kehta you are strictly prohibited to bed rest!"
"Aww! Come on jiju! Apko toh pata hai mujhe kamre mei rehna bikul acha nahi lagta! Aur waise bhi aapke Dr hone ka kuch toh faida hona chahiye mujhe!" He grumbled bickering with him.
"Acha janab! Tere jiju hone ke naathe bahut faida diya tumhe! Koi aur hota toh, tumhare baaton mei akar IV nahi nikhaltha! Manik se pucho, Kya woh khud tumhe IV se itna jaldi relieve karthe!" Kabir said.
"Jiju sahi kehraha, agar mei hotha toh abhi bhi IV nahi nikaltha!" Manik replied while Shree glared at him, "Haa! Yeh mei kaise bhuljao.... Tujhe toh mujhe jabardasti medical room le jane mei bahut maza atha tha, bachpan se!"
As it was because of him, most of his illness would reach to his brothers immediately which he try to hide. "Tere karan mujhe kitne baar injection lena pada!" As he would always avoid them,
His friends chuckled from back, while Manik glared at them to keep quiet. "Shree! Ek injection ke dar se tumhe takleef mei nahi deksakthe humsab! Haina jiju!"
"Bilkul!" Kabir answered ruffling his hairs who made a face for teasing him, "Dho saal tujhse chutkara mila! Abh phirse agai mera jeena haram karne! Wapas kyu nahi jaate!" He pouted which brought smiles on their faces.
"Impossible shree! Abh toh mei yaha mumbai mei rehne wala humesha keliye aur guess what Kabir jiju ke under kaam karne wala huh!" Manik grinned, while others snickered from behind.
Shree glared at them, turning to kabir, "Jiju! Aap isko apne under nahi rakhsakthe! Bilkul nahi! Kya aap, Manish uncle, Dr Vivek kam hai ki isko bhi jhelna hoga mujhe!" He grumbled as he would be very serious same as his uncle.
Chuckling at his expression, "Acha yeh soup peelo pehle! Aur waise bhi mere hothe tumhe koi aur treat nahi karega na chote! Jab mei nahi tabhi Dr Vivek tumhe treat karthe aur abh se Manik bhi!" and handed him the bowl.
"Yuckk! Mujhe nahi chahiye!" Shree made a face.
"Peena toh padega! Warna IV start karunga abh tere marzi!" Kabir blackmailed him.
Huffing at him, he took the bowl but his hands were shaking and the pain in his right didnot allow him to lift the spoon.
"Jiju nahi horaha mujhse! Haath mei bahut dard hai!" Shree sighed, while Kabir took the bowl from him.
"Theek hai mei madat kartha huh!" But Arpita taking place beside him, "Humhe dijiye Kabir! Hum usko soup peela te hai!"
"Yeh bahut bekar hai! Kounsa soup hai!" He whined while Kabir simply replied, "Vegetable soup!"
"Jiju agar soup pilani hih hai toh chicken soup banwate!" He grumbled half through he shook his head, "Bas mom! Aur nahi!" pushing her hand gently shaking his head. Though they want him to complete it, they sighed.
"Abh mei soup peeya na toh kya mei todhi der bahar jao, team se milna hai Jiju!woh log pareshan horahe honge!" He looked at them who were frowning at him, "Please!" made a face showing puppy eyes, which they could never resist.
"Theek hai! Mei bhi chalta huh!" Kabir helped him to stand but Manik n his friends interferred, "Jiju! Aap kyu takleef lerahe, hum chalte iske saath..."
"Theek hai lekin chote bas ek ganta! Uske baad mujhe Tum bed pe chahiye! Am I clear!" Kabir told him firmly, and saw him nodding his head.
While going, "Toh? Manik toh hospital mei internship karrahe, tum dono ka kya? US kab wapas laut rahe?" He asked loking at Nirvan and Virat.
"Hum resign karke aachuke Shree!" Both replied while he looked at them in suprise, "Kyu? Itne ache mauke kyu jaane diya!" As they were working in one of leading company.
"Shree mujhe mere company sambhalna hai yaha bhulgaye!" Nirvan replied, "Aur virat mere saath kaam karega!" As they decided it before itself.
Shree nodded as they always thought of Shree, Ali working together while Nirvan, Virat with eachother.
"Agar sab acha hotha, toh tum RR sambhalte hoga!" Manik mumbled slowly which they heard but kept quite.
Before going inside, "Liza ko kuch mat kehna tumlog!" He advised though Manik tried to say he closed his mouth not to upset him.
The team who were engaged in conversation got suprised seeing Shree moved towards him excitedly, "Shree!"
"Kaise hoh tum sab?" He asked while chotu engulfed him into tight hug which suffocated him, patted his back, "Areh mera chota bheem! Chod mujhe!" He said words with difficulty while Manik stepped in, "Chodo usse, usko dard horaha!"
Immediately releasing him chotu looked sheepishly, "Sorry shree! Tumko samne dekh excited hogaya!"
"Koi nahi chotu!" Shree smiled at him, not showing his pain not make him feel guilt.
Looking at girls, "Abh kya mei tum dono ko alag invite du?" He raised his eyebrow, "Ri? Liza?" Who hugged him gently mindful of his injuries.
Riya stepped out from the hug while Liza stayed Inhaling his scent. Stroking her hair, "Bas chipkali! Agar koi tumhe aise rothe huye dekh toh chudali samajlega!" He teased her
"Pehle apna chehra dekho Specky!" She retorted back with a small smile.
Noticing her red eyes, dark circles he sighed softly, "Mei theek huh, apni dyaan rakho!" While she nodded slowly.
Except Ali others were shocked, they could see their friend having feelings for her.... "Ali! Shree usse.."
"Chahne laga!" Ali completed Manik's words nodding at them. "Woh apne feelings ko samaj gaya, par abhitak usse nahi bataya!" He whispered softly.
Shree introduced them to eachother, all involved in talking trading their stories while Ayesha who came inside saw them chatting.
"Hey! Shree kaisa hai abh tumhara tabeeth!" She asked with concern.
"Theek huh bhabhi!" He nodded, looking at her, "Bhai ke paas tey aap?" When she nodded her head in yes, "Woh theek haina!"
"Haa! He is fine, tu chinta mat kar!" She assured him.
After sometime he felt tired which he tried to hide but they all observed it. "Chalo shree! Kamre mei jaake aram karo abh, warna jiju ki daanth sunha hoga!" Manik stood up ready to drag him forcefully if necessary but shree sighed standing up, swayed feeling dizzy.
"Shree!" They supported him. Nodding with gratitude, "Mei theek huh! Tum log chinta mat karo!" He assured them and returned to his room.
"Issliye bole hum stress nahi lena! Hogai na BP low!" Manik chided who checked his BP, while others snickered from back giving smirks to shree who glared at them and then at Manik, "Mei theek huh! Tu apna doctor giri kahi aur kyu nahi dhikata jab dekho tab mere peeche padthe hoh?" Folding his hands.
"Joh bhi hoh, abh aram karo! Aur waise bhi jiju ne tere vitals monitor karne ka pura permission diya! Issliye mere samne koi nakhre nahi!" He mentioned.
"Tumlog ghar gaye ki nahi?" He aksed knowing them very well. When they shook their heads, "mei theek hogai na abh! Jao apne parivaar se milo, mumbai aake dho- teen horahe! Aur mei kounsa abh ghar ke bahar khadam rakhne wala huh!" He sighed.
"Matlab?"
"Itna sab kuch hone ke baad! I don't think, Bhaiya yaa ghar mei koi bhi mujhe bahar jane dega atleast ek hafte tak toh pucca! Agar lucky huh toh mujhe office jane denghe uske baad." He mumbled knowing his family.
His friends nodded at him, gave a gentle hug, "Hmm! Theek hai hum apne ghar jaayenghe! Lekin Kal subah phirse wapas ayenghe!" Nirav. Replied.
After their exit, he frowned as why his brothers didnot came to meet him, as what happened after their fight. He searched for his mobile but couldn't find it decided to ask his family later, took remote and started watching Netflix.
Kabir who came inside with dinner, shook his head, "Chote aram karne tha tujhe! Kya karrahe hoh?"
"Aram hih toh karraha bas kuch series dekhraha huh!" Pausing the TV he looked at Kabir, "Bhaiya kaha hai? Dikh nahi rahe!"
Kabir caught off guard, but composing himself, "Woh kuch kaam se bahar gaya Shree, Sameer ke saath!"
Remembering the fight, "Undono ke beech sab theek hogaye na jiju?" He frowned.
"Haa baba! Donon mei sula hogaya! Abh yeh sab chodo aur dinner karlo!" He said taking place before him.
"Jiju mujhe nahi khana woh! Kuch der pehle hih toh soup peeya!" He denied.
"Aise kaise, dho gante hogaya chote! Todasa kaalo warna tablets kaise loge?" But shree shook his head denying to eat, even after much persuadation.
Dejected he kept the plate away, "Bachu aap mujhe koi aur rasta nahi chod rahe!"
Shree shook his head, watching him, "Jiju! IV nahi please!"
"Toh todasa khalo!" And forwarded the spoon
But the one morsel became hard to swallow for him.
While they are at, Sakshi entered inside bringing something with her.
"Jiju! Aap kyu mere shree ko woh sada hua khana khilana chahte?" She mock glared at him.
"Haa bhabhi! Batayiye unhe mujhe nahi khana!" Shree quipped getting her support while Kabir gave a confused look, "Choti! Yeh tum khud banai aur abh uske nakhre ko badwa derahi ho?"
"Toh apne bola yeh banane keliye!" She reverted, before he could counter attack, "Yeh sab chodiye! Yeh dekho Shree mei kya laya tumhare liye!" and opened the lid.
Looking at the dish, "Waah sakshi! Thankyou so much mere liye noodles lane keliye!" He hugged her while Kabir shook his head, "Choti! Yeh azaam nahi hoga usse, ulti kardega!"
"Jiju!" Shree pleaded with his eyes.
"Arjun ko pata hai tum uske beemar chote ko yeh fast food khila rahe hoh!" Kabir raised his eyebrow while sakshi silently forwarded the spoon to shree who ate it, immediately recognising the taste, "Bhaiya ne khud banaya jiju!"
Sakshi nodded, "Haa! Aur jiju chinta mat kijiye, issmei aisa kuch nahi dala jisse iske health pe effect hoh, ghar mei banaya noodles hai aur bas todasa olive oil, oregano aur namak! Vinegar bhi bahut kam dala!"
Kabir nodded as Arjun would never risk Shree's health.
But shree frowned, "Jiju apne toh kaha bhaiya ghar par nahi! Phir mere liye yeh khana kaise aya?"
Both sakshi- Kabir glanced at eachother, taking matters into her hand, "Ahh gaye na woh! Lekin unko pata hai unke chote khane ke wakth nakhre dhikayega issliye yeh banake gaya aur mei heat karke laya!" She said which satisfied him who ate the food fully, while the other two sighed.
"Yeh lo dawai!" Kabir handed him tablets which he took.
"Hmm! Leith jao!"
"Jiju!" Shree whimpered watching him as he took out a vile.
" chote! Ankhe bandh karo!" Kabir stopped himself before opening the needle.
"Bhaiya ane ke baad!" He requested with a slight shiver in his voice..
"Chote! Bahut der hoga usko ane mei, tab tak tu so jayega!" Kabir sighed as it's impossible.
"Toh kal subah dijiye aap lekin abhi nahi!" He replied adamantly.
"Jiju jaruri hai kya!" Sakshi questioned when he nodded, she sighed, "Shree! Arjun ko pata chalega toh gussa hojayega! Tu injection lagwale!"
"Bhabhi!" He looked up, "Aisa kounsi kaam Agaya ki woh dono mujhse bina mile chale gaye! Aur kab wapas lautenghe!"
His questions were getting difficult for them to reply, as they don't want to lie, "High authority ka phone aya sam ko! Kuch meeting ke baare mei batake gaya! Aur ane mei late hoga! Aur tu so raha tha, disturb karna nahi chahta!" Kabir informed him.
Shree easily accepted as his brother wouldn't leave if it's not important, nodded his head leaning onto sakshi, closed his eyes not took look at syringe as it would trigger him.
"Abh so jao tum! Jab uthoge toh Arjun pas hoga!" Kabir whispered removing the needle rubbing his arm gently.
Shree nodded sleeping properly. Sure of him drifting into deep sleep Kabir took his palm inserted needle, his breath hitching as Shree whined in his sleep but Sakshi caressed his head, which made him sleep. With a sigh kabir started IV.
"Jiju?" Sakshi looked at him.
"Uske glucose levels kam hai! Abh tum jao! Mei ruktha huh, Arjun Pareshan horaha hoga itna samai joh lag gaya!" He nodded at her.
Glancing at shree, she ruffled his hair placing a kiss, "Goodnight shree!" and left the room.
As soon as she entered, Arjun started firing questions, with worry "Jaan khana khaya woh? Kaisa hai abh uska tabeeth? Aur itna der kyu hua? Woh theek toh haina!"
Skashi tried to answer but he was not stopping, to stop his rant placed her lips on him stopping him in middle. Arjun got stunned widened his eyes, with her move.
Sure of him being quiet, she pecked his lips while he raised his eyebrow, "Yeh kya tha?"
"Toh aap puchte jaa rahe puchte jaa rahe mujhe mauka nahi derahe kuch bolne keliye!"
"Apko chup karne ka isse acha idea nahi hai mere paas!" She grumbled making a pout.
"Isse pehle aap phirse shuru hojaye meri baat suniye! Shree theek hai aur woh khana kha chuka! Mujhe der issliye hua kyunki woh zidh karne laga ki aapke bina injection na lagwane ka! Mei aur jiju sambhaliya! Abh so raha hai, aur Jiju IV chadaya kyunki uske glucose levels low hai! Aur uske saath hai abh!" She informed him.
Arjun face fell as he couldn't be with his brother, "usse jhoot bolna theek nahi lagraah, lekin agar iss baat ka pata laga toh stress lega! Subah hih uske tabeeth karab hua humdono ke karan!" He mumbled dejectedly.
"Abh yeh sab chodiye! Aapka koi kasur nahi! Ek raath ki baat hai! Abh chaliye dinner karthe hum!" She told.
"Jaan mann nahi! Tum jao!" He said moving away. Sakshi tried but knowing how stubborn he is left him alone. At the dinner table all were present. After getting info about shree health status from Kabir, Rajveer glanced at the other empty chair, "Sakshi! Arjun nahi aya dinner karne!"She replied what Arjun said.
"Aise kaise, agar iss prakar kuch nahi khayega toh beemar padhjayenge!" He whispered with worry.
" Pehle usske chote se dur rakh ke uske dil ko dard paunchaya aur abh uske tabeeth ki fikar karrahe!" Sam mumbled slowly but all could hear him.
"Sameer!" Suryakant called out him in firm voice.
"Sorry badepapa!" He apologized silently eating his food. The elders left the matter as Arjun would not budge!
Here Arjun was taking a walk on the terrace to calm himself was suprised seeing Ayesha, "Tum yaha!" noticed a plate in her hand, "Ayesha mujhe bhook nahi!"
Keeping the plate aside, she stood watching into sky, "Ek baat batayiye, aap mujhe sir nahi Arjun kyu bhulane keliye bole?"
"Yeh kaisa sawal hai Ayesha! Tum Sam ki biwi bane wali hoh aur rishte mei meri bhabhi! Toh apne maa saman bhabhi se apne aapko sir kaise bhulane bolta! Yeh toh iss rishte ke apman hoga!"
"toh issi rishte ke wajah se yaha ayi huh mei Arjun! Bhabhi mante hai na aap mujhe toh khane se mana mat kijiye!"
"aur aapko pata hai, agar aap khana nahi khayenge sab pareshan honghe, aur shree woh toh apke chehre ko dekhe yeh boledega ki aap bahut weak hai, aap usse stress nahi dena chahte na!"
Sighing, "Theek hai! Tumhe pata hai, kabhi kabhi tumhare muh se aisa baate athe ki hume humhari Roshini ki yaad dilate! Issliye Jaan bhi tumse itni jaldi attached hogai!" He replied taking place on the couch while she gave him the plate.
Opening it he chuckled, "Pasta!" Giving a sheepish smile, "haa! Mujhe Iske alawa kuch suja nahi! Hope aapko pasand ajayega!"
Taking a bite, he smiled, "Acha hai Ayesha!!"
"Arjun! Mujhe acha feel karne keliye kuch mat boliye! Mujhe pata hai aap continental khana kitna acha se banati mujhe adha banana nahi atha usmei!" She grumbled while he shook his head, with a slight laugh, "Mei khana banana issliye seekha kyunki shree aur sakshi ko continental bahut pasand hai!"
"Aap sabke beech bahut jayada pyaar haina Arjun!" She mumbled with sad emotion as she never experienced it.
Looking at her, "Haa! Humsab ek dusre se bahut pyaar karthe Ayesha! Iss ghar ki ek hih neev hai woh hai pyaar aur tum iss ghar ki hissa bangai issliye kabhi apne aap ko paraya mat samjo! Jis tarah Sakshi ki rai humhare liye important hai ussi tarah tumhari bhi! Kabhi apne hakh jatane se hichkichana mat, chahe woh shree, sakshi, yaa mujhe pe hoh!" He assured her.
Ayesha nodded with moist eyes as how lucky to get a family like this.
This interaction was watched by Sakshi, Sam who had smiles on their faces. "Ek baat hai! Aaj Ayesha ne Arjun ki zindagi mei Roshini ki kami puri ki!" As only their Roshini could get through that thick head of him when he doesn't listen to anyone even Sakshi!
She nodded, "Phir bhi di ke bina humsab ke dilon mei woh khalipan humesha rahega bhai! Kyunki joh di ki jagah hai koi usse pura nahi karpayega!"
"Hmm! Woh toh hai!" He sighed looking up into sky, silently praying for her to look out for their family.
