"Dont be sad Reyaan, You know them na, They are bad boys" Aarav tried to cheer him up, Today once again, A group of some boys bully Reyaan.
"Just because I dont have father they bully me, Kash mere pass bhi papa hote" Little reyaan said through his tears, aarav feels sad seeing his best friend in tears, he wipe his tears with his tiny hands and hug him.
"Its okay reyaan, You are my best friend and i dont like seeing you sad sad, Tumhe pta hai na aaj mere chachu aa rahe hai, mene unhe tumhare baare main bataya and you know what unhe bhi tumhari tarah dance bahut pasand hai,He wants to meet you" Aarav said in his childish tone, Trying to divert reyaans mind.
"Really, Woh dancer hai?" Excited reyaan asked him.
"Ha, He has so many dance academies too" aarav said, They both went in their class while talking about aarav's chachu. Reyaan was excited to meet him now, and after knowing they have same likes and dislikes, he was more excited.

Looking outside from the window of his car, He was busy in looking at the city, Nothing has changed, Everything is same, not everything, He is not same, He is not same reyaansh singhania anymore, The cool dude, College heartthrob has transform into Hot headed ruthless cold hearted business man, And for this change only one person is responsible, And he hate that person from the bottom of his heart or he say so. She changed him, her betrayal changed him, and he will never forgive her for that. Rey came back into reality when his driver told him about they have reached home.
Stepping out of the car, He drew a sharp breath, He was back, After 5 years he is back. While driver took his luggage inside, He took his each step toward his house, remembering old memories, moments he had spent in this house. As soon as he entered in mansion, everyone in his family came to him to welcome him, his mother did aarti as after so many years he has came back home.
"Ma, Kaise ho aap?" Rey asked his as she engulf him in tight hug, Her eyes were moist, Seeing her son after 5 long years.
"Main theek hu, Tu kaisa hai aur yeh kya halat bana rakhi hai, kitna kamzor ho gaya hai mera baccha" Sumitra said in caring tone, Arjun and ranvijay roll their eyes at the duo's emotional meet.
"Ma, I am perfectly fine" Rey said to his mother, he was feeling home and happy in his mothers embrace after so many years. His mother was showering him with all Love, Completely ignoring other who were standing there to meet Rey.
"Ha ha Ab Ladla beta aa gaya hai toh ab hume kaun puchega" Arjun said dramatically. Arjun walked up to Rey and pulled him in brotherly hug, After meeting everyone Rey went in his room to freshen up.
"Bhabhi, Where is my champ?" Rey asked purvi as he came downstairs at dinning table for lunch. His mother served him his favorite dishes. Rey is first time going to meet Aarav, as Rey left india few months before his birth, They used to talk on video chat daily thats why they are so close.
"He will be back from school in some time." Purvi answered him, Arjun and ranvijay had left for office. After lunch Rey went in his room, His mood was off and reason was her, Dont know why but suddenly he started missing her even more, he was craving for her one glimpse, More than he had missed her in those 5 years, he was missing her now and feeling that she is in the same city, was making him more restless, Even after what she had done to him, He was craving to see her, And that feeling made him hate himself too. His heart was betraying him and he hate that. He hate everything that reminds him of her, he was living in her memories but those memories also pained him, and he couldn't do anything but live with the pain.

He saw aarav was sitting in hall with a cute boy of his age, Rey couldn't take his eyes off from him, he couldn't think anything else, stare at the little boy with intense gaze, he wonder how similar he look, he was sure he himself looked same liked this lil boy in his childhood days, or may be he is hallucinating.
"Chachu" Aarav jumped from sofa seeing rey standing near the stairs, he ran toward him and jump in his arms, Rey smiled at aarav and hug him back but his gaze fixed on little boy who was staring back at him with small smile on his face.
"Chachu, he is my bestest friend Reyaan, The one i used to talk about to you on video chats" Aarav told him as rey put him down then aarav drag him toward reyaan.
"Hi" Reyaan wave at him, he was little hesitate, it was first time he was meeting rey so it was awkward situation for him.
"Hey buddy" Rey sat on his knees, coming to his level, for some unknown reason he felt connected with reyaan. He had heard a lot about reyaan from his family members and their talks rey knows his family members love this little boy very much, and talk about him almost every day so Rey practically know everything about reyaan.
"Reyaan - Reyaansh, you know our names are so similar, just like our likes and dislikes. We will be great friends" Rey said to him in gentle tone, making him comfortable. Reyaan smiled at him.
"Really? You'll be my friend?" Reyaan asked him with amusement lacing his voice, excited over getting Rey as his friend. Rey smiled broadly seeing his innocence, somewhere reyaan's nature remind him of her but he brushed it off. He hates his habit of seeing her in everything & everyone.
"Off course, Reyaan, I will be more than happy to have you as my friend" Rey replied him, aarav smiled seeing his chachu and his bestie together, he was happy seeing reyaan's happiness. The more he was looking at him the more he was getting attached to him. It amused him but he doesn't think too much over it. After years, he was feeling genuinely happy, in Reyaan's presence, in his cute talks he forgot about his own pain.
