I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving us this FF.

Heya Elvish!

A late reply. Apologies for that :(

Ishani and her dreams. Man, they are getting awesome with time *Evil Grin* I just hope that she is fine. Are these random dreams or are you gonna reveal it later?

So Ranveer is not gonna change. Never. Why is he punishing himself? Sigh.

Chirag and his weird behaviour is making me confused now. Hope everything is fine and Ishani doesn't fall back to the trap.

Update the next one soon cuz I am waiting desperately :P

Chapter 47

Ranveer entered his house quite late at night and not wishing to wake anyone up by the sound of his footsteps he moved quickly but lightly towards his room. The day had been tiring and he wished to take a nap before the dawn would break. It was merely 4 hours away. However, as he had entered the hall and turned to the alleyway leading towards the stairs he assumed he saw his father sitting on the couch broodingly staring towards the window that opened up a large view of the garden below, the scent of the flowers still fresh in the air.

"Baba," Ranveer whispered slowly, "you are not asleep?"

"You are back!" his father said in a relished voice. "Good, good."

"Is everything alright?" Ranveer asked.

"Oh, yes. Everything is fine."

"Maa...is she fine? Why are you awake yet?"

"I was waiting for you, Ranveer."

Ranveer smiled and took a seat beside his father. "Baba, we could have talked tomorrow. You know you are not supposed to be awake at this hour. Not good for your health."

"Ah, I know that," Kailash answered, smiling. "But there is something I want to tell you right now. Tomorrow we are to leave for India."

Ranveer looked puzzled. "Is everything fine there?"

"Oh, yes. Why do you think it is not?" his father said, waving his wrinkled hand in the air. "Today we received a message from an old friend who has started a new business and wants to see Amba and me at its inauguration ceremony. He wanted you to come as well but when we told him about how busy you have been lately and he understood. I don't see a reason to deny of us going there. Do you?"

"Not at all," Ranveer answered. "I will book the tickets for you and Maa."

"It's all done. Tomorrow we're leaving early. And, Ranveer, there is one more thing," his father spoke hesitantly and at Ranveer's puzzled look he continued, "We want to..."

"...want to see a pretty daughter of his," Ranveer finished the sentence while his father looked uneasily at him.

"It's not funny, Ranveer. They're good people and it will do you no harm if you move on."

Ranveer stood up and moved towards his room.

"I told you something," his father said.

"Baba, we have talked over this more times than I myself can remember and this conversation is going to have the same pitiable fates like the previous ones. Let's leave it here," Ranveer said and walked away.

He wished something could stop his parents from insisting him to do the impossible and unpleasant but everyone seemed to have been united to make him do what his heart never permitted. And why just his parents, Ishani had joined the crew as well as she, too, wanted him to move on.' How he wished things could somehow work in his own favor but with the rapidity they were falling apart it right now seemed impossible.

Ishani woke up in the late night as the memories of the past gushed back at her as she sat shaking and panting vigorously for a long while before she came to her senses. She needed to talk to Ranveer and clear the things up before the gap between the truth and lies could cause more troubles and distances between them. It already had taken her a long while to realize and spending more time in calculating was never going to help. Ishani looked up at the watch gleaming faintly in the dim lights of the room. It was 11 in the night. Ranveer might be asleep now and she could not disturb him. Suddenly a thought struck her mind and she dialed up Disha's number quickly.

"Hello," a sleepy and annoyed Disha answered.

"Hello, Disha," Ishani said, feeling apologetic, "I'm sorry to disturb you right now but I need some answers."

"Ishani, do you guess what time it is here?" Disha said. "It's bloody 4 in the morning!"

"Disha, I know but it's important. I want to know something about Ranveer," Ishani said hesitantly, and without running around the facts she chose to come to the point. "What happened between you two that day?"

Disha's voice stiffened as though offended and from her tone it seemed she would not be interested in revealing anything further. "Ishani, you want to know about that driver? For God's sake why don't you accept he was""

"Disha, I asked you something and I want my answers right now!"

Disha burst into tears. "Wow. Ishani, for you your friendship with him was more important than your sister, wasn't it? Don't act like a lawyer in the court and humiliate me. Please!"

"Disha, I'm not humiliating you," Ishani answered sympathetically. "I just feel something very wrong has happened and I want to rectify it somehow."

"You wake me up in the late night to ask about your ex-best friend and what he tried to do with me, don't you? How foolish of you!"

"Disha, it wasn't he who did anything to you, I know that," Ishani said, now coming to the point straight. "Something did happen. It was a scheme against him, was it not? He was framed, I know that. I just want to know why. Don't make me wait, Disha, or things might not be very favorable for anything in future."

"Shut up!" Disha said curtly. "I will not say anything of that driver. I can't believe you are my sister."

"He has a name, Disha," Ishani interrupted. "Ranveer. And I am your sister but I need my answers. Either you tell me directly or I'm going to find everything out very, very soon."

"I don't care." Disha said and without a further word disconnected the call; while Ishani drew a resigned sigh. "Oh, Ranveer. I wish I knew something more. But I know there has been more than met the eye."

Disha's silence only indicated the possible obvious but things needed to be cleared up now. Ishani decided to talk to Ranveer over this matter tomorrow"only if he would let her. Sleep could not come over her and the rest was as puzzled as ever.

Ranveer's phone rang without an answer for 20 minutes and silenced in its usual fashion. He avoided phone calls these days unless they offered a great financially beneficial attention but it was rarely so. Things somehow had become so monotonous that he sometimes wondered if adventure in the lives of the London Stock Exchange had petered out. Most people would come up with the same dull and boring offers as though afraid of losing a great deal in their own business and wanted to make some benefit in his own shadow. If someone said he should not return the proposals, for the little things mattered, he would answer in his old manners and somewhat haughty tone, "It's not about their proposals but the dullness of the work that I should rather avoid. RV is not known for doing ordinary things, is he?"

Ranveer's parents had left for India early in the morning and he had come back home soon after and tried to fall asleep if that was possible. For a couple of successful hours he had been sound asleep until one phone call from Ishani woke him up.

"Hello," he said, rubbing his eyes, as he noticed 16 blank calls from her. "I'm sorry I was just sleeping." He yawned.

"Ranveer," Ishani's ruffled voice answered. "I want to talk to you something."

"Go on."

Ishani kept quiet.

"Is it about your nightmares? You're having them frequently."

"No, no, it's not about that. I want to talk to you something personally. Are you free today?"

"Ishani, I'm sorry but I have to leave for one week for Manchester for the deals that I told you about, and I cannot see you. Can you wait for that long?"

"It's urgent, Ranveer."

"Alright. Tell me."

"Not here. I'll wait," Ishani said at length. She needed time herself.

"Are you sure?"

"Hmm." Ishani said. "But, Ranveer, promise me you will see me soon."

"Why do you think I won't?" Ranveer asked, confused.

"Nothing. I think I'm over-thinking over some matters. Please be back soon."

"I will," Ranveer answered and hung up.

The conversation, no matter much Ishani had tried, had been awkward between them and Ranveer himself had not bothered to pretend to everything be alright as though nothing had happened. Yet the stillness in Ishani's tone seemed frightening and he hoped things to be better with her. Could it be anything about her family? Anything about Chirag? Ranveer did not try to think what any of it could be. Chirag was coming soon and Ranveer could not let Ishani go; not to Chirag if he was still the same anyway.

Ranveer drew a soft sigh. This headache wouldn't go that had learned to inhabit in his mind time to time for a while now. It was a relief that the family doctor's prescriptions did help and managed to give him a few hours' sleep whenever it occurred. He was simply asked not to take so much stress and give sometime to his own health. But both the things happened to have exited from his life since forever. And now Chirag's return's information had again agitated the same sleeplessness in him that left Ranveer worried about the things. But this could wait and Chirag most likely wasn't coming until next one week. Ranveer would be back by the time and right now the matter needed to be put at rest.

For Ishani days became forlorn and pensive as she found herself unable to contact Ranveer all the time he was out of the station. She could guess he still did not want to talk to her and avoided it with the best reasons possible. With each day passing she tried to find a hope but that would be too big of a gain to have. Puneet had been in India all this while and from whatever Ishani knew he was to be there for nearly a month and would be back in mid-May. Rishi had by now taken care of half of the work and he was the one accompanying Ranveer on his trip.

A bad luck it was that not even Rishi could get Ishani to talk to Ranveer which turned out to be mentally tedious and the wait appeared to be unbearable for the most of the times. To know about Disha Ishani had taken Gauri's help who had promised Ishani to find at least one clue that would give her some answers, yet no one had been found yet; and Gauri had not called telling anything either good or bad.

It would have been the 5^th day of Ranveer's trip when Ishani finished her 4 back to back meetings with 4 groups, 2 of them being from England itself and 2 from Scotland, and headed to her cabin when suddenly her phone rang with an exciting enthusiasm putting her into a moment's shock. These days she waited for the phone to ring more than often but now that feeling had begun to die away. Ishani looked at the phone and the new number did not feel right. Wondering if it could be Chirag on the other side and might announce his unexpected arrival Ishani slowly picked up the phone.

"Hello." A familiar voice from the other side startled her.

"Ranveer! You lazy beast!" Ishani cried as Ranveer chuckled slowly. "Where the hell have you been? You do know how many times have I called you, don't you? Why did you not reply to any of the messages?"

"I'm sorry, Ishani," Ranveer said softly. "I have been busy. I know everything but was helpless. It's now that I have had time to breathe properly. Is everything alright?"

"I have been worried about you all the time," Ishani said, trying to keep the reluctance away from her tone. "Perhaps it's because we haven't talked for days."

"I'm fine and coming back very soon," Ranveer said.

"Ranveer," Ishani said, as though unable to believe him yet, "are you fine?"

"Oh, yes," Ranveer said, "it's just there have been bulky responsibilities that have taken toll on me. Rest is perfectly fine."

"I'm trusting you on your words only," Ishani said suspiciously.

"Ah, your nightmares, aren't they?" Ranveer said. "Haven't I asked you not to take them seriously? It seems like they're not nightmares but a TV soap's villains that refuse to go away from your life."

"You feel like laughing!" Ishani reprimanded. "They kill me with everytime they turn up."

"Did you see one lately?"

"No. Last week that was the third one."

"Oh, come on, Ishani. Only three bad dreams have scared Ishani Parekh? Show them who you are and, I swear, even they're going to be insanely frightened."

"Don't laugh, Ranveer. Anyway, I'll not discuss them anymore. It's just the thought of you going away is enough to mortally frighten me."

"Relax. Everything will be alright. I'll make everything alright."

Ishani smiled as their conversation came to a pleasant end and a small thanks' for God left her lips involuntarily. Indeed, she was thankful to God for not letting her fears ever come true.
