Chapter 10 - Search for the truth
Arav, Piya and Mahi entered their home and were surprised by its silence. They exchanged glances and looked around to see if anyone was around but didn't saw anyone.
"Where's everyone?" Piya sighed loudly, slumping on coach
"No idea!" Mahi sat beside her
"Oh! Everyone abandon us! How can they do it, so heartaching" Piya said dramatically
Arav slapped her on head lightly.
"What? I was just joking!" Piya made face
"Drama queen!" Mahi mumbled
"I heared that!" Piya looked at her
"So? Do you think I care?" Mahi raised her eyebrow
"Yes! Because you'll not get your toffee if you'll mess up with me" Piya replied
Piya laughed at her. Mahi was angry but looked away she knew Piya tricks, she always teased her on toffee name because they once had a fight for toffees when they were kids.
"You keep that toffee to yourself, I'll get some food for me." Mahi stood up wiping the smile from Piya face who looked at her annoyed
"I'm also coming" Piya shouted from back and rushed behind her in kitchen
Arav sat helplessly. He looked around and decided to follow the girls, he couldn't leave them alone after all they fought mostly.
There wasn't any light around, cobwebs were spreaded everywhere and dust ruled on shelves. The place seemed untouched from quite a time.
Khushi stepped back instinctively as something crumpled from a self. She looked at the book laying on floor, covered with dust, something about it attracted her and she didn't thought before bending and taking it.
Madhu stepped forward to check what Khushi was looking at when she felt a tug on her wrist and before she could make out what it was she went crashing on someone. A hand held her from waist and she realized her husband mischief.
"Rishab" Madhu glared struggling in his arms to come out
"Yes?" Rishab said teasingly, pulling her more closer
"Khushi is waiting for us what if she saw us like this?" Madhu said annoyed at her husband romance at odd time
"So what?" Rishab shrugged
"What will she think? We have not came here for this, remember?" Madhu tried to put some sense in her hopeless husband
Suddenly they heared fake cough and Rishab left Madhu instantly. They looked up to see smiling Khushi.
"I found some books, I think they are enough we should go back now." Khushi smiled
Rishab was embarrassed, he nodded looking away while Madhu was blushing.
"Let's go" Khushi walked ahead giving them time to follow her
Khushi was walking to car and her mind was wandering in past remembering an old incident so fresh in her mind.
She tried to move but his grip was tight on her. She struggled looking towards gate while his gaze was hooked on her.
"Arnav" she muttered
He hummed watching her intently.
"Arnav, anyone can come here." Khushi looked at him this time
"They won't!" Arnav said confidently
"They are waiting for us and if you didn't stop anyone can come for sure." Khushi said annoyed
"Am telling you no one will come here" Arnav replied caressing her face
"Why?" Khushi asked disinterested
"Because we boys love to be with our love and they know what we are doing so they won't interrupt us" Arnav said
Khushi looked at him open mouthed, shocked at his response.
"You all are so shameless" Khushi remarked
"Nope! We are loving, baby" Arnav smiled widely
Khushi smiled, blinking away the tears, forming in her eyes. Her Arnav was always right then how could he take such a worst decision of killing himself no she couldn't believe he could do it and she promised to prove her point.
Armaan looked out the window watching the darkness prevailing. His mind lost in morning incident and was in tumult. His past was overshadowing him again and again but he tried to shut it in back of his mind.
Today in morning when he saw the one who destroyed everything and him, he couldn't stop himself remembering all that happened to him. All the pain rushed back to him and he felt the urge to scream it out.
He controlled himself reminding himself those people doesn't deserve his attention but the memories were playing in his mind like a film in a theater.
He closed his eyes taking deep breath, in an attempt to calm his troubled mind. He took the glass from the side and sip the drink giving his demons their feast.
He felt peace, tasting the revenge, and his mind calmed a bit. He distracted himself from his enemies to something different, Azaad sisters.
A smirk curved his lips as he thought about the two girls he encountered. He was amazed at their guts, the attitude they showed and the strength they had to withstand his aura. He knew he had extremely attractive aura that no one could ever resist then how did this happened that two little girls stood against it so easily.
And then there was Mahi, the girl who was making him do things he never did. He couldn't believe he held her hand and the feeling he went through correction not the feelings, it was something different like an electric shock that didn't let him held her for so long and it surprised him. He never planned to talk to her and then holding her hand it was something he would never thought of, but don't know what happened to him then and he did everything he was against of.
And the guy who was ready to kill him in a second if Mahi wouldn't have took him with her. He saw the anger for him when he was glaring him and the love and care that quickly came in his eyes when he eyed Mahi. He saw the guy cared for Mahi a lot and wouldn't think twice before killing anyone for her and even Mahi knew this, he saw when Mahi smiled deliberately just to calm him like she knew what he was thinking and what he was capable of. Now thinking about all of this he realized Mahi share some close bond with the guy, she knew the guy too well to understand his silent words and is comfortable around him too that's why she didn't push that guy hand when he held her but flamed up when he held her hand. He realized she got some silent issues with him too and somewhere he would like to clear her anger for him because somewhere she succeeded in attracting him and when he finds something attractive, he don't let it go so easily.
He smirked throwing the empty glass.
They gazed out snuggling in each other arms sitting in the balcony of their room. Cool wind was fanning their faces and they enjoyed it.
"It's so peaceful" Zoya mumbled
Asad smiled caressing her head. He eyed her lovingly.
"It's so good to be alone after a long time" Asad said
Zoya chuckled.
"We are always alone here" Zoya replied
"But you are mostly worried about my fighter daughter" Asad complained
"She is our daughter and we should worry about her." Zoya frowned
"Not again" Asad rolled his eyes
"It's late! They must be home now" Zoya said suddenly
"They? Who?" Asad shrugged
"Kids!" Zoya looked at him with wide eyes
Asad realized. He looked at her shocked.
"They must be hungry, poor they." Asad exclaimed
"Stupid! My kitchen will be in disaster!" Zoya said
"Why are you always worried about your kitchen?" Asad made face
Zoya didn't care to reply and stood up just then they heared a loud voice startling them. They looked at each other.
"I think we should check" Asad muttered standing beside her
They both ran to kitchen and stood shocked at the door.
Everything was messed up, nothing was at right place. Piya was throwing edibles on Mahi and Mahi was doing same while Arav was trying to stop the two messed up heads.
Asad and Zoya looked at each other shocked.
"Stop it!" Zoya shouted sternly
Everything was halted.
Mahi and Piya stood frozed whilr Arav sighed in relief.
"Mom" Mahi looked at Zoya
"Mumma" Piya muttered seeing angry Zoya
"Thank God, you came mother, your daughters have gone mad" Arav said sighing
"I can see that, Arav" Zoya gritted eyeing Mahi and Piya who were now standing worriedly
"Mom please listen to me it's all her fault I didn't do anything" Mahi rushed to her
"No mumma she is at fault, I was just eating" Piya said innocently
Mahi and Piya started to fight, again, on who's fault it is.
"Just shut up!" Zoya growled
Asad suppressed his smile seeing daughters mother while Arav watched with worry.
"You both start cleaning this mess you created and I don't want another fight! Five minutes, and this kitchen should be clean" Zoya ordered
"But mom.." Mahi tried to argue but Zoya angry glares shut her up
Mahi and Piya looked at each other angrily and started to clean the kitchen silently.
Arav smiled watching them working silently.
"Mother, where's mom and others?" Arav asked suddenly
Asad and Zoya looked at each other. They didn't knew what to answer him. Arav hated his father and if they would tell him his mother is trying to find him he would be angry and hurt.
"Umm.. Arav, they went for some office work" Asad smiled, Zoya too forced a smile
Arav nodded, though, he felt something fishy, he didn't question.
Khushi with Madhu and Rishab entered the house and looked at the kids and Asad Zoya present in hall. They looked at each other and then walked inside. Khushi tried to move in her room directly but Arav stopped her.
"Mom, where were you?" Arav asked
Zoya and Asad tensed up thinking what will she answer remembering how they had lied to Arav.
Khushi looked at Asad Zoya being tensed and realized Arav had already got some fake answers from them. She knew her son well to understand he didn't bought Asad Zoya lies.
"We had some work, Arav. I'll be just back, give me a minute." Khushi excuses and rushed to her room
She locked her room and took out the book she was hiding. She looked at its worn out cover. She hid it in a safe and then rushed to freshen up before her son reached till here.
Arav had realized something was really cooking between his elders but he couldn't understand why were they lying to them. He didn't knew why but it made him angry that his mother was shutting him out when he can hel her too in whatever they were doing. He looked at everyone sitting and left from the place to his room, to calm his mind.
Just as Arav left, Piya started her blabbering seeing her parents back.
"Dad, you remember the guy who saved him? He took admission in our college just today." Piya squealed
Mahi looked at her quickly.
"Are you sure he exist?" Mahi asked
Piya glared her angrily. She knew Mahi doubt her state of mind when she was saved.
"Yes you idiot. I met him too and you know I got to know his name too. Abhay, Abhay Raichand!" Piya grinned with attitude
"Isn't it a royal name? Abhay Raichand! I just love it! His name is cool just like him and he is so sweet" Piya smiled
Rishab was amused at his daughter. He knew his daughter behave a little mad but she has enough sense to know right and wrong and with her powers he don't feel to stop her from doing anything she liked to even if it is to date a guy.
"Piya, you should stay away from him." Madhu said
Madhu knew Piya had powers to understand what's wrong and what's not but she don't fully trust her because for her Piya was still immature and weren't someone to be trusted.
"But why mom? I like him and he's really nice" Piya argued
"Piya they are new on town and we don't know who they are?" Madhu admonished her
"I can take care of that mom." Piya said determined
"And believe me he is really an awesome guy." She told her
"And how do you know that?" Mahi asked
"When you'll meet him na you'll know too" Piya snapped her
"Yeah I'll see I meet him for sure." Mahi mumbled
"Don't you dare to say him something rubbish or else I'll smack your head" Piya warned her
"Piya is that way to talk to your elder. She is your sister and she won't do something stupid like you." Madhu chided her
"Mom, I can take care of myself. None of you should worry for me" Piya stood up angrily and left from there
"Piya baby..." Rishab called but she left
"See, you angered her once again, Madhu. Why do you scold her so much?" Rishab looked at Madhu
"Rishab, she's kid and I don't want her to mess up her life by being with guys at this stage" Madhu said
"Madhu, she has brains to know what's wrong just trust her and we should support her in whatever she does and check from behind, instead of stopping her, and if there's anything wrong we can tell her. we just can't stop her without knowing" Rishab said
Madhu sighed. She realized Rishab was right. She just couldn't stop her from everything she does that too without knowing if it's wrong or not.
Asad and Zoya sat silently. They looked at each other listening to the two. Their eyes fell on Mahi and they remembered about Armaan. They were thinking to stop Mahira but listening to Rishab they thought they shouldn't trouble her without reason particularly when she's not showing any interest in him.
