SS: Broken Strings SEASON 2 *Epilogue on page 30* - Page 4

Yara has tugged the invisible string in Advay... Beginning of the melting of the snowman... The icicles are thawing at the warmth from Yara...

So afterall.. Peter is right. Advay loves Yara but isn't ready to accept yet. And why shouldn't he? He loves hanna, and Yara is the only resemblance of her. Moreover, He is father of yara...r.

Chapter 3

The morning rays hit him and he opened his eyes reluctantly. Shifting his vision to his left, he found the time 5.45 am.

Advay rubbed his eyes and tried to get up when he felt a weight on his body. He looked at his chest where Yara laid hugging him tightly. Next to Yara was Kiara who was hugging Yara's back and her hands resting on his stomach and face on his arm which was hugging Yara. Yara was cuddled between Kiara and him.

He slowly removed Kiara's hands from his body and shifted Yara from him. Sitting up on his bed, he watched Yara murmuring something in her sleep and turning back hugging Kiara. He smiled faintly and caressed her hairs.

He saw Kiara slowly opening her eyes and he swiftly moved away from the bed and walked to the washroom.

"Stop it Peter!" Advay said angrily as he and Peter sat on the bench of Green Park after their morning jog.

"This is the truth Advay. Yara herself told this to me and Kiara. She is learning things from you. She is behaving exactly like you behave to her." Peter said.

"Just stop advising on how to look after my daughter!" Advay said annoyed, "Papa, mamma, you, di...everyone are on a mission to lecture me on parenting!"

"Because you are doing blunders!" Peter said angrily, "At least have some common sense Advay. Don't take out your anger on that poor child. She is growing up! She is learning things. Every child tends to imitate their parents. And your daughter is also doing the same!"

"Listen," Advay said angrily, "Yara is my daughter. I know how to raise her! There is no need to teach me how to look after my daughter!"

"And how are you raising her?" Peter asked mocking, "By paying her school fees and buying her dresses? Or buying toys? You are aware of her favourite colour, dress and toy. Other than that what do you know about your daughter? Do you even know that your daughter is allergic to peanuts?"

Advay looked away and Peter said annoyed, "You cannot raise your child with the millions you have in your account. Show some love. I have said this earlier and is again repeating! Give Yara the love she deserves. And yeah, adding one more...give Kiara the respect she deserves! If you cannot accept her as your wife, then don't. But don't consider her a heap of dirt. If not a good wife, she is at least a good mother! What are you? A good son and brother but an utter failure in being a father!" and he walked away.

Arnav walked into his cabin after a meeting to find Yara sitting on his chair and looking curiously at his laptop.

"Yara?" he called surprised, "Why are you here?"

Yara looked at him and smiled cheekily. "Wo dadu, our teacher had an accident and every others went to hospital with her. So school peon called all students' parents to take us home!"

"Kiara brought you here?" He asked.

"Nahi," she said nodding no, "Papa came to get me. Mamma's cell phone was switched off!"

Advay? Arnav smiled faintly. This must be the first time he would have gone to Yara's school!

"And your papa made you sit here?" Arnav asked.

"I was in his cabin sitting on sofa. But I accidently hit a glass of water and water spread in his table. He scolded me," she said with dropped face, "and Peter uncle came. He brought me here!"

Arnav sighed and then saw Peter entering, "Here is your favourite chocolate milk princess Yara!"

"Thank you Peter uncle!" Yara said happily and started drinking it. Arnav looked at Peter and asked, making sure that Yara who was immersed in her juice didn't hear, "He shouted at her?"

"Yes, very badly! She was crying like hell!" Peter said.

Arnav sighed and walked to Advay's cabin. "Something must be done with this boy!" He muttered under his breath.

Kiara came back home after an exhausting day at hospital. As she stepped inside the living room she was tightly hugged at her waist. She looked down and saw Yara with her face buried in her sari.

"Yara..." Kiara called out as she sat on her knees. "Why is my princess crying?" Kiara asked shocked seeing the tear stricken face of Yara.

"Papa (sob) scolded (sob) me..." she said in tears.

"Why?" Kiara asked.

"Today at office, (sob) I hit a glass of (sob) water. It spread on his table and destroyed (sob) his papers. He scolded me then. Now I (sob) went to say sorry. He again scolded me...he said he'll beat me with cane if I (sob) go (sob) near him again (sob)..." Yara said crying bitterly.

Kiara hugged her tight consoling her with her mind burning with rage.

Advay was busy working in his laptop when he heard some footsteps and the door slammed shut. He looked up to find Kiara locking the door from inside.

She turned to him and asked angrily, "What do you think you're doing?"

"What?" he asked annoyed.

"You shouted at Yara!" Kiara said angrily, "She did it accidently. And you said that you would cane her? How dare you?" she shouted. "Why are you so bothered?" He asked angrily, "Yara is my daughter! I know how to behave with her. You need not teach me!"

"And I can see how you are behaving with her. If you are her father then I'm her mother! I..." Kiara said angrily when Advay roared, "HER MOTHER IS HANNA. NOT YOU! YOU ARE JUST HER STEP MOTHER. YOU ARE HERE AS HER CARETAKER!"

"STEP MOTHER OR CARETAKER, YOUR DAUGHTER CALLS ME MAMMA. I DON'T CARE WHO GAVE BIRTH TO HER. YARA IS MY DAUGHTER AND I WON'T ALLOW ANYONE TO HURT HER, EVEN IF THAT PERSON IS HER FATHER!" Kiara shouted at the top of her voice.

"HOW DARE YOU!" Advay shouted and grabbed her arms. He pulled her close and said with gritted teeth, "Now don't defend that girl in front me. Her stupidity caused me a lot of loss today. The new contract papers were soaked in water. IT WAS MILLIONS WORTH DEAL THAT THAT IDIOT SPOILED!"

"JUST SHUT UP! DON'T CALL HER NAMES! CALL HER YARA! IF I HEAR YOU USING ANY NAMES FOR HER THEN..." Kiara shouted when Advay cut her in and said gripping his tight further, "Then what? What'll you do? Don't forget one thing Kiara, you don't own her! She is no one to you! You are no one here!"

Kiara said angrily, "I'm mother of Yara, wife of yours and daughter-in-law of Raizadas!"

Tightening his grip causing her to hiss in pain, he said gritting his teeth, "And all these positions you have mentioned is not yours! It's Hanna's and no one can replace her in this house!"

She bit her lips in pain and he continued, "Don't you dare show your attitude towards me! I'm not the same Advay who used to listen to every word of Dr. Kiara."

"You're right! The Advay who was my friend had a good heart!" She whispered and he held her closer with his face closer to her saying angrily, "Do whatever you want but make sure that your attention seeker daughter stay away from me!"

"Just now you said that she is your daughter!" She said slowly with the pain due to his hold shooting into her nerves. She gasped feeling the tight growing tighter and heard him saying, "I regret that!"

She looked at him wide eyed and felt his hold loosening on her. She watched him walking away the room and she looked at her arms which were purple in colour.

Advay... Will learn only after he is snubbed?

Loved the update, brilliant👏

Ohh God advay and his behaviour arghh

nice part
but after morning advay again went back to square one..

Advay needs a shock. Maybe Kiara and Yara need to give him the royal ignore, shift to another room and leave him be. Let him take care of himself and then see how much Kiara does for him. Maybe some from Sydney needs to come and show interest in Kiara to get things moving along

Oh my! I think he has forgotten all the love he gets from his family and only thinks of his dead wife. Someone hit his head and maybe he will have some sense.
