CHAPTER 11Jaiswal House
(Piya angrily goes to her room and shuts the door of her room. She sits on the bed and starts crying).
Piya (crying): Why? Why my life is so complicated and full of sadness and sorrows?...Why can't I live a normal life? Why?...Why can't I stop getting angry and cry when I hear his name?...I do not have any relationship with him...My hatred towards him is greater than my mama's love for him, so I can never forgive him for what he did to me and my mama...Mr. Arnav Dobriyal is nothing to me but a shame on the name of father...
Piya (wiping her tears): Come on Piya...stop crying..you are a brave girl Piya...don't waste your precious tears for such a man who never thought about you and your mother ones...Piya, you have to be strong...you have worked so hard to maintain that strong attitude of yours...don't let your mama and other see how weak you are from inside...this world is very ruthless Piya...if they ever find out how weak you are, they will make your life hell...so just stop crying and act like a mature girl..
(Piya walks towards the window and stares at the moon).
Piya: Mama always tells me that God is always with people who are innocent and have problems in their lives...may be my God is watching me from somewhere and will help me out...no one can help me with my problem, not even mama...I have to deal with it myself...why? ...Why am I so alone? Is this how I will be living my entire life or God has some other plans for me? May be he will send someone who will take away all my sorrows and bring happiness in my life.
Raichand Mansion
(Abhay is looking at the moon from the window of his room).
Abhay: what is happening to me? what kind of feeling is this? I can not stop thinking about her. What is it about her that is pulling me towards her? She is in my mind all the time. I just can't resist her anymore.
Abhay (coming back to reality): what am I saying? How can I even think about such things? She is a HUMAN. No...No I can't do this anymore. I can not forget who I am. I have to stay away from her and should not let her come closer to me. I need to stop this before she drives me insane.
(While Abhay is debating with himself about his feelings for Piya, Alisha enters his room).
Alisha (smiling): Hello, brother are you okay?
Abhay (startled): huh...me...what has happened to me?
Alisha: oh brother, you look disturbed...
Abhay: umm...nothing...its nothing...
Alisha (staring): brother its okay if you don't want to tell me. I just came here to let you know all of us are waiting for you for the family meeting.
Abhay: meeting? what meeting?...ohhh God...how can I forget about this meeting?
Alisha (sarcastic): its okay brother...I had figured it out that you might have forgotten since you have been busy thinking about someone lately..
Abhay: Stop it Alisha...I have told you numerous times that I do not need your lectures and interference in my life...I do not need to know what is right and wrong for me from you? Why don't you understand that we are not humans? ...so please stop acting like one...
Alisha: brother..amazing it is..isn't it? ...the same fact that I have been trying to make you understand, you are now telling me to understand...feelings..brother, these human feelings are very dangerous...it destroys you without even letting you realize it...
Abhay: Alisha!!...for the last time...stop interfering in my life...you may leave now...I will see you in few minutes in living room..please leave now...
Alisha (smiling): As your wish brother...I did not mean to make you angry...but anyways ...I will see you in a bit..
(Alisha leaves and Abhay goes to take shower).
(Abhay freshens up and enters his living room where Chand, Haseena and Alisha are waiting for him).
Chand: Abhay, there you are!
(Abhay comes and sits next to Chand).
Abhay: What happened dad? Is everything okay?
Chand: Oh Abhay...how can everything be okay with our greatest enemies roaming around?
Abhay (angry): what? when did those sly wolves get here?
Chand: Abhay..they came in dehradun couple of months ago...we thought we will be able handle it..but things are getting out of our hands...they are getting ready to attack us...
Abhay:Never! ...they will never be able to do that...
Chand: Temper Abhay Temper...watch out ...getting angry at this moment will not help us...we just have to stay together and fight with them...
Alisha: I am sorry to interrupt dad..but if you want, I can go and take care of them...
Haseena: Alisha..just relax...first listen to what your dad has to say...
Chand: Abhay and Alisha...you both are very powerful...there is no doubt on that...but lets not underestimate our enemies...they are very smart as well...they have started to attack our business...they are trying to get the same project that we had been working on for months...
Abhay: that will not happen dad...I will take charge of that project from now on...
Alisha: Excuse me, brother...but I am the one who has been working on this project...so please let me take care of it...u can atleast trust me on this project..can't you brother?
Chand: Abhay, I too feel that Alisha will be able to handle them on this...and if she needs further help, you surely will get chance to be in charge of it..
Abhay: ok dad, thats fine...please let me know if you want me to do something against those wolves...
Chand: I will surely do Abhay...
(Abhay and Alisha leave from there to their respective rooms).
Jaiswal House
(Piya is still standing near her window when she hears Sugandh knocking at her door. Piya wipes her tears and goes to open her door. Sugandh enters her room).
Sugandh: Piya, I am so sorry beta...
Piya: Mama, you are not at fault..please let us not talk about this anymore...I have a long day tomorrow...I need to work on my presentation now..
Sugandh: ok beta...I just came to check on you ..please let me know if you need something..good night beta..
(Sugandh kisses Piya on her cheeks and leaves. Piya watches her leaving and starts working on her presentation).
Piya: oh God!...there is so much to do...that Sadu Raichand gave me so much work to do...how will I be able to finish it?...Come on, Piya start working on it otherwise he will just eat you alive...
(Piya works on the presentation whole night and sleeps till late in the morning. Sugandh comes to her room and wakes her up).
Sugandh: Piya, beta wake up...
Piya: Mama, please let me sleep...that sadu Raichand does not let me be in peace in office and here you are doing the same...
Sugandh: Piya, it is getting late..it is almost 8AM...
Piya (panicking): What?...God I am so dead now...I was supposed to be at the office at 7AM...He will not leave me now...
(Piya rushes to get ready. She was about to wear her favorite purple mini skirt when she remembers Abhay yelling at her...She quickly takes out green salwaar kammez with sexy cuts and wears it...Sugandh is shocked to see Piya wearing salwaar kammez).
Sugandh: Piya, beta I know you are stressed out..but beta you are not going to temple..remember today is Thursday and you have to go to work...
Piya: oh please mama..I am going to work right now and apparently I am not allowed to wear skirts in that office, so I just wore this..
Sugandh (smiling): ohh, beta but you are looking gorgeous...
Piya: Really? mama...thanks but I have to leave now..other wise that sadu raichand will eat me for breakfast...bye now..
(Piya rushes to get to the office).
Precap: Abhay is doing something when he looks up and sees Piya in front of him...Piya is looking really pretty and Abhay can not stop himself from looking at her...
