CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT
2 WEEKS LATER
'My God Rinky what is the matter with you...'' Said Romi as he walked to where she was
'Dude chill... I was just taking a call...I need to make sure my studio is still up and running'' She said
'What you are still...'' Said Romi
'I know... I know... It has to stay closed until we sort out the investigation but I called Ishita and she said that it will all clear in a couple of days so I am making sure we are ready...'' Said Rinky
'Wait... You called and she picked...'' Said Raman
'Yeah... Why wouldn't she... She and I talk like all the time...'' Said Rinky confused
'Doesn't she talk to you...'' She added
'Oh... That is a somewhat sore topic...'' Said Romi as he took the empty bottles of water that were beside Rinky's and put them away
'Not true... I just haven't come around to you know, calling her...'' Said Raman causing Rinky to frown a bit as she looked at him
'What are you saying? You make it sound like checking in on her is a tedious dance routine...'' Said Rinky and Romi chuckled
'I have been busy...'' Said Raman as he sat down
'Doing what... ' Said Rinky
'With you and Mom and Dad and everything...'' He said
'That is such bullshit...Besides don't you like for to her office all the time...'' Said Rinky
'When did you start using that language...'' Said Raman
'Ohh shush do not change topics...'' Said Rinky
Ishita is never at the office... She doesn't do...'' Said Romi and Rinky completed
'Businessy thingies...'' And she turned looking at Raman
'Yup she hates you...'' Rinky added
'Whatever...'' Said Raman as he grabbed his phone
'Am too busy for all that childishness anyway...'' Said Raman
'Yeah that has been his motto since we got back...'' Said Santosh as she sat down looking at him
'You do not even like her Ma...'' Said Raman
'No I don't. I still think she is too much and too impulsive and loud. But that is beside the point, clearly you do...'' Said Santosh
'Not even the point...'' Said Raman
'Oh yeah, is that why you have been staring at her picture the last 45 minutes...'' Said Santosh
'No I haven't...'' Said Raman but his mother grabbed his phone showing it to his siblings
'Are you sure...'' Said Santosh and Rinky threw her head back laughing as well as Romi
Those two weeks had been bliss, it was like the tragedy of what had happened sot of brought them together and the pains and petty issues of what had been happening between them was forgotten, all but one
Flash Back
'I just saw crazy walk out is everything alright...'' Said Simmi as she came into Rinky's room
'Rinky what happened, why are you crying? Did Ishita do something...'' Added a concerned Simmi
'I am sorry... I had to...'' Rinky said and Simmi confused said
'What... What are you talking about...''
Raman who was so angry and disappointed turned to his sister failing to put any self-control in his impulses and
'Smack...'' Off went the slap on Simmi's check forcing her to fall back into Pratik's arms who was also just walking in
'Dude...'' Said Pratik shocked
'Why... I just want to know why...'' Said Raman teary eyed
'What are you people talking about'' Cried Simmi
'Of all people, you did this... Why... Why would you do this...'' Said Romi
'I don't under...'' Simmi began but Rinky cut her off
'I told them... Everything... They know...'' Said Rinky
Simmi looked at Raman and Romi her hand on her cheek and knew she had been caught and like an erupted volcano everything she had kept bottled up inside came stumbling own as she said
'Yes... I did... And I would do it again given the chance...''
'Simmi...'' Said Pratik confused
'I worked for you for years , took care of you when you couldn't handle that business after Shagun died, took care of your children making sure they didn't see how shitty of a father you were, all the while still making sure the business was doing amazing. You want to know how you repaid me, you made him partner...'' Said Simmi angrily
'Simmi that is ridiculous we practically hold the same position in that company...'' Said Romi
'No... No we don't... Mine is just on paper, You look at me and I am the one whose life comes to a halt when your lives are falling apart and yet when I ask what is owed to me ...'' She began rumbling as tears welled up
'What the hellhappened to you? When did you turn into this person...? ' Romi said
'Don't you stand there and pretend to be self-righteous with me. It is easier for you to talk now that you have made something of yourself. You can stand on your own if he ever turns around and decides to fire you, I can't...'' Said Simmi
'Why would he fire you? This is ridiculous...'' Said Romi
'I was the blessing that got this company to where it is but as soon as you found something new to concentrate on, you forgot about me, Romi will soon be irrelevant as well because of that low life bimbo...'' Said Simmi looking at Raman who in all honesty was in total shock
'So all this for what... A position at a company that I built... You put Rinky's life at risk for that... It was that important to you...'' Said Raman angrily
'How was I supposed to know that she would get into trouble and use those codes for stealing...'' Said Simmi
'Do not play dumb now it won't suit you...'' Said Romi angrily as he walked to where she was
'You have to have known that she was in trouble. It is your job to make sure that she doesn't get into trouble; it was something you yourself wanted to do. So when you found out what was happening with her why didn't you tell us...'' Romi added
'Because she was taking something from him and stealing from that idiotic Ishita who spoilt all my plans... It was a win win... Plus she can sit there and pretend all she wants, she hates Raman as much as I do...'' Said Simmi and Raman turned to look at his baby sister who was just in tears
'You two are quick to forget that you have this luxurious life you take for granted because I decided to given up on a lot to ensure you got it. When I hired you Simmi you had nothing, you didn't finish college, you had not qualifications and yet I brought you into my company and hired you at a higher position...'' Said Raman and Simmi just looked at him
'It is so easy to talk right now because you can now say you have made a name for yourself working at the higher ranks at RKB and yes you are right, you are talented but that didn't mean you were ready to take on the company. Romi had the expertise that is why I hired him at the same position as you... I thought it would have been great to have my siblings work with me and not have to worry so much about tryst and loyalty because I was working with family...'' He added teary
'What is going on here'' Said Santosh who had walked to Rinky's room to check on her
'Mama... Oh God Mama...'' Rinky cried and Santosh went to her
'I am not saying this in bad faith or cursing you Simmi but I promise you it is not as easy that you think out there... You have had the opportunities you have because I gave you a chance. I didn't have to neither where you entitled to it. As far as my children are concerned I am eternallygrateful for what you did for me when Shagun passed but I never thought I needed to pay for my sister being there for me...'' Said Raman as his voice broke down
'And I never thought I needed to beg for what I worked so hard for...'' Said Simmi trying to get a defense because that statement had hit hard
'Fine...'' Said Raman as he cleared his now somewhat coarse voice
'I will pay you a quarter of whatever my company is worth today...'' He said
'Raman...'' Said a shocked Santosh
'What... Raman you do not owe her anything...'' Said Romi angrily as he turned to Simmi angrily
'He doesn't owe you a think you greedy bi...'' Romi said but Raman cut him off
'It is okay... Clearly she has had this for a while; let me give her what she wants. This will be fair for everyone. Pratik here is my lawyer so he will draw up the papers,'' Said Raman walking to Pratik
'Give her a half the amount of money amounting to what a quarter of my company is worth. You will clear this with finance and we shall come up with a payment plan. Once this is set in motion, I do not expect to see you anywhere near my company...'' Said Raman turning to Simmi
'Fine by me...'' She said and Romi scoffed
'What the hell happened to you...'' Said Santosh shocked as she walked to her daughter
'It is nothing personal ma, it is only business...'' Said Simmi and Santosh out of anger slapped her daughter twice
'Your father could have died... Your sister could have died... Did that even matter or all that matters to you is status and money...'' Said Santosh
'Oh please the hypocrisy... Look who is talking...'' Said Simmi as she held her face in pain
'And you are wrong about one thing... This is VERY personal... On top of my company you are not allowed anywhere near my house or my kids... If I see you Simmi I swear on Shagun you won't like it...'' Said Raman
'That isn't fair... My relationship with them has nothing to do with this...'' Said Simmi panicking
'What the hell did you think was going to happen?'' Said Romi
'While you're at it, never show me your face ever again... You are not welcome near my family Simmi... Get your money and walk away...'' Said Santosh
'Mama...'' She said surprised at how this was turning out
'Here...'' Said Romi as he picked her bag up and put it in her hand then dragged her out
'You can leave; expect a call from our lawyers... For your sake I hope it was worth it...'' Said Romi as he closed the door to her face
'Raman... Raman ...'' Yelled Rinky causing Raman to look at her
'What are you thinking about? I have been calling you're for the last couple of minutes...'' She added
'Sorry...'' He said as he chuckled softly but once could tell there was a lot on his plate
'What... Come am not a kid anymore... I can give pretty good advice you know...'' Said Rinky proud of herself
'Was I that bad...'' Said Raman
'What do you mean?'' Said Rinky
'Was I that bad of a brother...'' He asked again and she kept quiet for a second then said
'You're not...''
'Then why do you hate me?'' He asked
'I don't...'' She said
'Just be honest... 'Said Raman looking at Simmi
Santosh and Romi who were in the room realized that this was a conversation long overdue and they needed to be out of that place to give them privacy
'Romi... Come and help me with the thing with your father...'' Said Santosh
'Yeah... Sure...'' Said Romi as he got up and began walking out
'Oh God can they be any more transparent...'' Said Rinky chuckling
'Yeah...'' Said Raman chuckling as well
Then all of a sudden there was an awkward silence, almost as if they both didn't know what to talk about or had a lot to say but just didn't know how to start.

SCROLL DOWN FOR NEXT
CHAPTER TWENTY NINE
'Peel it off in one swoop...'' Said Raman and Rinky turned amused looking at him
'What...'' She said
'Peel of the band aid in one swoop... That way it won't hurt so bad ...'' Said Raman and she smiled
'That sounds like something that crazy Ishita will say...'' Said Rinky and Raman just chuckled
'You know how I asked you to help me with the money for the dance studio and what you said...'' She said and Raman shook his head not remembering
'You said... No I can't give you that amount of money because you are not responsible enough to handle it... Here have this and I will increase your allowance...'' Said Rink as she tried to imitate Raman
'I don't talk like that...'' He said trying to lighten the mood
'Raman...'' Said Rinky getting serious
'Okay... I am listening...'' Said Raman
'After you said that, Romi came in after that and asked you for a loan to buy a new car, it was some kind of sports car, Lamborghini to be exact...'' Said Rinky
'It is a sweet car...'' Said Raman
'So I hear... You gave him half that money without even hesitation...'' Said Rinky and Raman looked at her
'You see you and Romi share this bond... You have blind trust and faith in each other which is good but sometimes it feels like me and Simmi are on the outside looking in and unlike Romi, you never even tried to hide it. It hurt to know you never gave her or me the benefit of a doubt for anything, and you never cut us some slack like it was with Romi.'' Said Rinky
'I didn't...'' Said Raman realizing
'See dance was, is everything to me and that studio meant a lot. But you never took the chance to even understand why I asked for that money let alone what my interests were or why I loved to dance. The day I came home and asked you if it was okay if I were to branch out, not go to business school but instead do something I loved, you brushed me off and told me stop being childish, what else will I do, like I wasn't good at anything else'' Said Rinky
'I am so sorry...'' Said Raman disappointed in himself
'Which brings me to Simmi's issues ...She worked for you Raman since you started... Gave up a lot for you and your family and you are right, you didn't owe her but come on, and you can't sit there and tell me, she and Romi were the same. That is such bullshit. When it came to the decision that mattered, you never even considered her. It was like Romi became your new toy and she was the old teddy bear that didn't seem interesting anymore, business wise...'' Said Rinky and Raman sat there making a realization
'I screwed up...'' Said Raman
'Pretty much... Yeah ...'' Said Rinky and she could see he was really feeling bad
'Come here...'' She added sitting aside and he obliged as he sat next to her
'You are not a bad brother, you just sometimes don't know how to be a good friend to us like you are to Romi.'' She said as she took his hand
'And I don't hate you. I mean you really annoy me and sometimes when bad things happen to you I smile a bit but...'' She said and he chuckled
'I do not hate you... I couldn't even if I tried. Why do you think I am always trying to do stuff on my own to try and impress you? Which isn't an easy thing to do by the way that is why Ishita is a God...'' Said Rinky as she dramatically lifted her hands
'What is it and the sudden love affair between you and Ishita. You hate each other's guts...'' Said Raman
'True... But she hates you and I sort of do not like you so we have common interests'' Said Rinky jokingly
'Yeah right...'' Said Raman chuckling
'She asks about you, you know...'' Said Rinky
'Yeah... What does she say...'' Said Raman
'Go see her...'' Said Rinky
'She says she wanted me to go see her'' He asked
'No... Chill... I am saying it... I am saying go see her...'' Said Rinky
'I will... I have just been busy. I am going by her offices tomorrow maybe I will bump into her...'' Said Raman as he stood up
'You do not bump into her... This is a woman you are in love with... You go to her and make it right...'' Said Rinky not understanding why he wasn't trying hard enough
'Ever since you walked into my life, only bad things seem to happen... Simmi was right... now look where we are...My kids are...'' Said Raman distraught
'You are upset... So I will understand and let that slide but you are trading on lines you and I can never come back from'' Said a very hurt and a very teary Ishita
'Whatever Ishita I do not care... I just want to know what you have on my sister...'' He said
'I don't have anything...'' Said Ishita frustrated
'You know what... Get out Ishita... And don't come back...'' said Raman and Ishita completely shattered couldn't believe it
'It isn't that simple...'' He said not denying the fact that he was in love with her as he walked out
'What the hell did you say to her dude that is so unforgivable?' Said Rinky
You do not know the half of it...'' He said as she watched him leave
*************************************
This meeting at the Iyer Tech offices was a big deal; there was a chance they were going to drop RKB Fashions as clients or they were going to sue them because it was a high level employee who was busy leaking codes of their software. Of course there was also the possibility that Ishita could have maybe found a way to sort of make it work.
He knew she wasn't on good terms with him and yet he was hoping that she came through for her. He had just lost a lot of money with the Simmi problem so he needed this Iyer tech contract to work because his company was in her hands. They had worked on a lot and the website launch was just around the corner, everything was going according to plan until this whole, Rinky saga happened.
He had come in to Iyer tech before to talk to lawyers about the contract and how they were to shut down on the leaking of designs but not once did he meet Ishita, not even as the owner to the technology his company website intended on running on. So this was going to be the first time, or so he thought
'Okay gentlemen and Ladies... I suggest we begin because we have a lot to get through and a lot to discuss...'' Said Varun
'Wait... Shouldn't the web designers be here as well...? We are going to talk about the launch...'' Said Romi clearly trying to help his brother
'If it were up to me, we would be talking about how to get rid of you but clearly that isn't so yeah, we are talking about the launch... And as far as web designers go, you're looking at them...'' Said Varun
'He will explain what we did to improve on security such that the little problem doesn't happen again. Then I will tell you what we did to improve the system and how it will work...'' Said Priya
'I just thought that the owner of the design would have...'' Romi said but was cut off
'Ishita can't be at every meeting of products she has designed otherwise she would have never had time to design more. She sends her best in the building to handle it. She isn't available so here we are. Shlok and Mihika as usual handle the business and Mohlotra here will give final send off and incase of any discrepancies, we shall send them back to her. Given the recent escapades, I do not think you really want to be picky...'' Varun and Romi dropped it because he knew they needed this to work
Varun didn't like them and he wasn't doing anything to hide it, neither was Shlok. Mihika who was had the time caught in the middle just wanted this whole meeting to start already such that maybe the tension in the room could just ease up a bit.
Mohlotra opened the meeting and things began moving, Ishita had pretty much locked every back door into that website and one could tell she had put in a lot of work to make sure hacking it was going to be a problem let alone stealing any codes from it.
The new design was presented and of course the contract was also discussed and a few things were to be changed such that in case such a thing ever happened, there would be someone held responsible.
It went on for hours and hours as Varun talked design and Priya talked security, Mihika and Shlok talked management and marketing as Mohlotra talked about launch dates and how it was not to be postponed so everyone was going to work overtime to ensure it came to pass. They then ironed out the last details of the contract which had majorly been handled by the lawyers.
And as the meeting can to an end, it felt like they had been in there for years. Raman was grateful that the contract didn't fall apart but he couldn't help but wonder in the back of his mind if he could at least see her.
'Thank you all and the meeting is adjourned. We will meet next week to finalize...'' Said Mr. Mohlotra and everyone began putting their things away and walking out
'Priya hold on...'' Said Pratik as he went after her
'Yeah...'' She said turning
'I Uhhh... Can we go out some place ... To talk...'' Said Pratik
'We can talk here...'' Said Priya calmly
'No... Come on you have to hear me out...'' Said Pratik
'Is she still leaving in your house...'' Said Priya
'She doesn't have anywhere else to go...'' Said Pratik
Well then, we have nothing to talk about...'' aid Priya as she turned to walk away
'Priya... Wait... Come on...'' Said Pratik but it fell on deaf ears. Back inside
'So are we still on for tonight...'' Said Romi as he walked to where Mihika was
'Sure... Are you cooking'' Said Mihika as she smiled
'Oh honey I can't cook... But I order pretty mean Chinese...'' Said Romi and Mihika chuckled
'Oh God I hate Chinese...'' She said
'Really... I didn't actually know that...'' He said
'Well... Now you do...'' She said as she smiled at him coming close as Romi pulled her in
'Stop... Office... Remember...'' Said Mihika
'Hmmm...'' Said Romi as he leaned in placing his lips on hers in a soft kiss
'See you later...'' He said as he grabbed his laptop bag and walked out joining Pratik and Raman causing Mihika to smile as she walked out as well
'Call Barun...'' Raman began
'Already on it...'' Said Pratik as he took his phone out
'So... Have you seen her...'' Said Romi
'Uhh No... She isn't here...'' Said Raman disheartened
'I don't believe that...I mean think about it, every senior personnel is here and Mihika was telling me they have this important meeting today so she is here...'' Said Romi
'I highly doubt...'' Said Raman suddenly keeping quiet when he heard
'Ishita Madam...'' causing him to turn and there she was
She was standing just outside Mihika's office in blue jeans and a black t-shirt that read 'software goddess'' with a back pack her hair pulled back in a pony. He couldn't help but chuckle about how so wrong that looked in an office and yet it screamed and said everything one needed to know about her.
The guy who called her handed her a bunch of letters and she thanked him as she began going through what was on the envelops: Raman wanted to just walk over there and take her into his arms and stay there but for whatever reason his feet couldn't move, That picture in his mind was too perfect to disorganize or tarnish in anyway. Mihika made her way out of the office with Priya and they all made their way to the elevator probably going to the last floor
'Raman... She is walking away again...'' Said Romi
'I know...'' Said Raman who was just smirking as he watched her disappear
'This is stupid you are just going to watch her as she leaves...'' Said Romi confused but Raman didn't say anything
'Ookkaayy... Now that you are done grinning like an idiot, shall we leave...'' Said Romi and Pratik chuckled
'Uhh yeah... Let's go...'' Said Raman and he smiled and they all walked out
Seeing her there and not looking stressed but rather her old self should have maybe bothered him some more because it meant she wasn't concerned about anything or even him but it didn't. It just brought a sense of calm to see her, something he hadn't felt in a while and that for him was unbelievably satisfying.
CHAPTER THIRTY
Raman and Romi got back home very exhausted given the day they had just had. They had gone from meeting to meeting and they had lost track of time completely skipping their minds that they had missed to go to something
'Ohh God if I never have to go to any other meeting ever again, I will be fine with that...'' Said Raman as he slumped into the chair
'Where is Romi...'' Said Rinky
'He had a thing...'' Said Raman
'Ohh... You boys ...'' Said Rinky shaking her head as she rolled her wheel chair to where Raman was
'Come here...'' Said Rinky and Raman frowned a bit looking at her
'Didn't you hear... Come on...'' She added and Raman came forwarding kneeling down on one knee and came closer to her thinking she was going to whispers something
She instead grabbed his ear and began pulling it hard as she could
'Ou...Ouch... Rinky ...'' He tried getting up but she pulled him down again
'What did you forget...'' Said Rinky
'Rinky... Stop it I am not a child...'' Said Raman
'Well if you keep on forgetting important things then you are one...'' She said pulling his ear some more
'I didn't forget anything...'' He said holding her hand
'Are you sure...'' Said Rinky but Raman finally managed to get away from her
'You're crazy... And that was not okay...'' He said holding his ear that his mother who had witnessed the whole thing as she walked in began to smile
'Recital Raman...'' Said Rinky
'Adi's... Oh God... I totally...'' He added
'Hence me pulling your ears because you can't be serious...'' Said Rinky
'Where were you...'' Said Aditya his voice breaking as he stood at the bottom of the stairs looking at his father with his sister by his side
'Oh honey, I am so...'' Said Raman but Aditya cut him off
'Where were you Papa? You promised me you would show and you didn't so where we you...'' He asked again
Raman could tell his son was very hurt and rightly so. He was supposed to have been at that recital but he had spent half that time at Iyers Tech and the other trying to figure out ways to make that contract work causing him to forget the most important thing to him. That never happened and it wasn't okay.
'I am so sorry Adi, I lost track of time and it had completely...'' He began
'So she was right... You're beginning to forget...'' Said Aditya tearfully
'Who was right?'' Said Raman confused
'Nothing...'' Said Aditya as he wiped his tears
'You were busy, I get it...'' He added before he turned and left the room
'Papa...'' Ruhi called him
'Not good...'' She said before she followed her brother upstairs
Raman followed his children feeling really bad for how this had gone. He couldn't even blame anyone else because it was his responsibility to be there for his children. It was the least they could expect from him
'Aditya... Adi... Listen to me...'' He said getting upstairs to them
'I am sorry... I will make it up to you, you know that...'' Said Raman
'I didn't want you to make it up to me Papa, I needed you to be there but you weren't...'' Said Aditya teary
'I know and I am ashamed of it. What can I do to make this better...'' Said Raman
'I don't want you to go and see her anymore'' Said Aditya and a confused Raman said
'See who...''
'Nanny... I don't want you seeing her anymore...'' He added to a very perplexed Raman
'Wh... Why... Who told you I ... '' Said Raman
'We know you had gone to see her that is why you are never here. That is why you forget. She doesn't want you to be with us anymore and now...'' Aditya began
'Okay wait... Hold on a minute, where are you getting all this from...'' Said Raman
'This is what I want Papa, I don't want her...'' Said Aditya becoming hysterical
'Okay... Okay... I won't...'' Said Raman disheartened as he took his son into his embrace
'You have to understand though, I work with her... I just cannot, not see her'' He added and Aditya pulled out of his embrace
'Tell Romi uncle... Don't you work with him...? He can see her... This is how I want you to make it up to me...'' Said Aditya tears welling up
'I never ask for anything Papa... This is what I want...'' He insisted
'Okay... ' Said Raman as he looked at his really confused hurt son and it was in that moment that he realized something was horribly wrong.
****************************************************************
At The Iyers
'Knock... Knock...''
'I got it... Said Ishita as she opened the door
'Pratik...'' She said a bit surprised
'Evening Ishita...'' He said
'Well this is a surprise...'' Said Ishita
'Yeah about...'' He began but she cut him of
'Come on in... ' Said Ishita as she stepped aside allowing him in
'Uhh... I am not so sure she was expecting to see you because...'' Ishita said but Priya came down saying
'I am so not watching another or those weird French rom-coms you guys seem to like...''
'Uhh Priya...'' Said Ishita causing Priya to look up and that is when she saw him
There just stood there looking at each other not saying a thing and Ishita was finding it difficult to be in that situation so
'I will leave you guys to it then...'' Said Ishita and she turned walking away but Pratik called her
'Ishita... About the thing at the hospital ... We are good... Right ...'' He said but Ishita just looked at him and turned to Priya
'I will tell Bebe you will join us later...'' She said and walked back upstairs
'She is trying to be civil because of me...'' Said Priya as she walked to where he was
'Civil... As in ...'' Said Pratik
'She doesn't care for anything Bhalla related right now... And you are right in the middle...'' Said Priya
'I am...'' Pratik began
'What do you want anyway? What are you doing here...'' Said Priya cutting him off
'I wanted to talk to you...'' Said Pratik
'Is Simmi still living in your house...'' Asked Priya
'She doesn't have a place to go...'' Said Pratik
'Then I guess we have nothing to say to each other...'' Said Priya
'Priya... Please...'' Said Pratik
Flash Back
'You think she will be fine...'' Said Priya clearly talking to Ishita about Rinky
'She will be... She has her family behind her she will be okay...'' Said Ishita as they got to the Parking lot of the hospital
'Shouldn't you be going to check in on your man... I think you and him have a lot of talking to do and a lot of sorting out'' Ishita added
'He is not my man...'' Said Priya
'Yeah whatever he is to you then... Shouldn't you fix this...? The longer it takes the harder it will be...'' Said Ishita
'Says the girl walking away from the hospital with the man she loves still in there having misgivings about her...'' Said Priya
'There is a difference between that and you and Pratik. Raman doesn't want to be with me, Pratik wants to be with you, you just won't let him, vast difference'' Said Ishita
'Ishu... He cheated on me...'' Said Priya
'No he didn't...'' Said Ishita
'Whose side are you on?'' Said Priya as she stood looking at Ishita
'On the side of your heart because clearly the only thing you seem to want to represent is your head...'' Said Ishita
'What...'' Said Priya
'Okay listen... How about this... You go tomorrow after everything had sort of calmed down and you talk to him... You both owe each other that much to make sure that there is nothing there. Do not leave in regret after that...'' Said Ishita
'Fine...'' Said Priya as they hoped into their car and left
**********************************
SCROLL DOWN FOR NEXT
CHAPTER THIRTY ONE
Priya was a bit nervous as she made her way to Pratik's place. She didn't know how this was going to go or how he would react seeing with her at his door step so early in the morning but she was so sure that Ishita was right. They needed to sort this and if she was being fair to herself, this was affecting her more than she led on. She missed him, she missed his company and she just wanted to spend time with him without worrying so much about anything else
'Knock... Knock...'' And she stood waiting patiently holding her breath but there was no response
She tried that a couple of more times until she realized maybe he wasn't home. She carelessly touched the door knob only to realize the door was open and given the escapades of that day before, she began to immediately worry because it didn't make sense that he would leave his door open if he wasn't in.
She was sure without a doubt that he lived alone and so this was a bit odd. She walked in looking around down stairs to see if anyone was home but nothing. The house was a bit untidy with bottles of alcohol everywhere and left over pizza boxes and pieces of pizza on the floor.
She headed upstairs to check if anyone was in and when she got to the end of the hall to the master, she could hear two people giggling, something that almost caused her heart to stop. She had a sick feeling in the pit of her stomach that whatever was behind that door was something she didn't want to see.
She stood at the door contemplating whether or not to go in when she heard a voice she recognized
'Pratik you know that isn't even real right...'' she said and they began to laugh
Priya's mind running to all direction swung the door open and there he was with Simmi seated on the bed holding a bottle of scotch in her hand while he held the other and an almost empty pizza box between them.
Pratik looked up at her and frowned a bit before he smiled again slurring his words as he tried to say
'Hey...'' much to Priya's shock
Priya took a few steps in and just looked at them not saying a thing and in all honesty didn't even know what to say
'What are you doing here...'' Pratik tried to talk
'Checking up on you clearly... ' Said a very drunk Simmi as she got off the bed and walked to where Priya was
'Isn't it too early for you to start being needy...'' She added but a teary Priya was just looking at Pratik and not saying a word
'Wait... Are those tears...'' Said Simmi as she tried to touch Priya's face but Priya pushed her back causing her to fall down
'Oo...'' Said Pratik
'You are in trouble...Pumpkin...'' Said Simmi and they began laughing again
'You said pumpkin...'' Said Pratik as he too stumbled off the bed to where Priya was
'Tstss... Come on... Don't be sad... We are just having fun... Here... You can try it too... Here...'' Said Pratik as he held the bottle of scotch to Priya's face but she pushed it away
'Come on... Don't be a buzz kill... Here try some...'' Said Pratik as he tried to put the bottle on her mouth but she stepped away
At that point Priya had pretty much sensed there was no way she was having a meaningful conversation with him and if there was ever a doubt in her mind about him and her.
He just pretty much cleared it for her. He wasn't the guy she thought he was and he sure as hell wasn't what she was looking for. With tears streaming down her face she turned around walked out of that house.
****
'Hear me out...'' Said Pratik
'There is nothing for me to hear, she is either out of your house or you and I have nothing to say to each other...'' Said Priya
'She is my friend. Her family has abandoned her, I just can't leave her on the streets.'' Said Pratik
'Simmi Kumar Bhalla can take care of herself Pratik believe me...'' Said Priya irritated as she turned looking away
'You can't even look at me, can you...'' He said disheartened and Priya took a silent deep breath, fingers crossed behind her back as she turned to look at him
'Why wouldn't I... You are allowed to do what you want to do...You are entitled to whatever; I have no right to interfere. All I am saying if you want to have a conversation with me, you need to let that woman leave your house simple...'' Said Priya
'Why... Since when did you get so insecure...'' Said Pratik
'See... The fact that you even think this is about my insecurities is the reason you need to get rid of her. Why are you even here Pratik...'' Priya asked
'As a matter of fact, I am pretty sure you do not even remember what happened that morning given how stoned you were, so why should it bother you so much what I think or do not think about you'' she added
'I was a bit drunk...'' Pratik began
'It is 8 in the f**king morning... ' Priya yelled and Pratik kept quiet
'And you were more than drunk Pratik you were stoned. Completely high ... It was like you had been smoking Marijuana the entire night, I could smell it on you... And her ...'' Said Priya
'I am sorry... Okay... I know I fell in your eyes but I will do better. I was having a really bad day, Simmi as freaking out, you weren't talking to me...'' Said Pratik
'Oh so it is my fault then...'' Said Priya
'That is not what I said...'' He began pleading his case but even he could see this was much more than what they were arguing about
'Priya... Stop going around in circles and talk to me...Tell me what the problem really is...'' He said
He knew he had screwed up, he knew there was a possibility his relationship her had pretty much been damaged beyond repair. I mean he slept with someone else, and that person was Simmi which added its own problems, and then she walked in with on his drunk and high out of his mind with Simmi which again added its own baggage. He had fallen in her eyes and he knew it and that to over something so stupid.
'I am not the romancy kind of girl. In fact after what I went through with Abhi... I said to myself, never be that naive ever again to just allow myself to be that vulnerable. It isn't good for me.'' She said as she folded her hands cross her chest as if she was shielding herself from something
'I should have listened to Bebs when she told me I wasn't ready for a relationship. Concentrate on your sobriety she said... I should have done that but No... I told myself... No Priya... You found a good man. See how that goes... He is cute and funny and mature and responsible plus he seems to like you...'' She said chuckling sadly
'I am an idiot... That much I can admit Simmi was right...'' She added
'That is not true...'' He said
'I am a recovering alcohol and drug addict Pratik... I know this is not your problem but mine...this is my battle not yours and it would be unfair for me to expect you to be in it with me. And when I saw you that morning it all just became too real for me...'' She said as she struggled to keep her composure
'It will never happen again... It was a horrible lapse in judgement for me...'' He said
'You can't guarantee it... You can't assure me that it never will happen again especially with her in your house. She makes you do crazy shit and you seem to be the only one who doesn't see it. And I for one can't be around you or anyone for that matter who consumes alcohol like that. No matter how much I want to ...'' She said
'Priya please...'' He said
'I had a really bad relapse the last time, I almost died. I really want to say off this time. I owe the people who have given up a lot to ensure am fine this much... I owe myself this much and yeah I know it is selfish of me to expect you to...'' She began her voice breaking as tears welled up in her eyes
'Listen to me... I am not that person you saw. I was just trying to cheer up an old friend and I may have gone about it differently I get that but...'' He began explaining but Priya just scoffed as she wiped her tears away
'I know... She has done some crazy stuff and I get that everyone hates her but she has been a friend of mine for a very long time and I just can't desert her. That however has nothing to do with you and me.'' He said as he walked to where she was
'Oh please... it has everything to do with you and me... You have feelings for her and the fact that you can't admit that means we are in deeper shit than we would like to admit...'' Yelled Priya
'Had... I had feelings for her, not anymore...'' He said but she just cried and looked away clearly not believing him
'Priya... Please look at me... I am sorry okay I am sorry. I was out of my mind and I f**ked up just... I did a terrible stupid thing and I wish I could take it back but I can't now... You know me, how insane did I have to be to do something like that...'' He said but she still wasn't barging
'Does any of this ring a bell for you'' She said
'What...'' He asked
'Do you want to know what I think about when something bad happens to me. When I am having a bad day or going through something crappy. I think about a drinking, and popping some pills then I say to myself, no... I can do better than this so I look for the next best thing, the people I love. I can't go through a day without thinking about you or how you're doing or how you are no matter what were are going through no matter how bad a day I am having. Not once have I ever thought I need to see Abhimanyu... You know why...''She cried
'Priya...'' He whispered
'I have never, not once, since we met, ever thought about him for anything because I am sure without any doubt that I am in love with someone else and I am over him. Do you know what you do when you have a bad day?'' She asked
'It isn't that simple...'' He said
'You go to her... You see her... You help her... It is always her... Did it occur to you that I was having a bad day that day, you just kept on treating me like shit just so she could feel better about herself...? That to me does say a lot about a man who claims to be in love with me...'' Said Priya as tears fell down her face
'Priya... Listen to me I swear nothing happened between us... It was one time and it won't happen again. I do not know what I have to do to prove that I do not have feeling for Simmi...'' Said Pratik frustrated
'Well I do not believe you I am sorry...'' She said
'When you left she just happened to be there... That is all and I am so sorry that I hurt you but...'' He began but she cut him off
'Don't do that... Can you at least admit it to my face that your sleeping with her had nothing to do with that call but you just needed a backup plan. You needed to prove to yourself, to somehow justify that it was me you were choosing and not her... That is why you slept with her... Do not insult me by thinking I don't know your story well enough to at least know that much... It was always going to be me or her... You just needed proof first so you slept with her...'' Said Priya crying

SCROLL DOWN FOR NEXT
CHAPTER THIRTY TWO
'Okay... Okay look... Maybe it dawned on me a little bit... You have to understand I thought I was in love with her for years. When I realized how much I missed you and how much I wanted to be with you I realized that I was in love with you. It didn't make sense to me that I could just get over her so easily...'' He replied
'And you slept with her...'' She said
'Yes...And I am so sorry'' He answered disappointed in himself
'And I forgive you... I forgive you and I could maybe understand that you two had unresolved issues that you needed to sort out, so for sleeping with her, Pratik I forgive you. But that you needed to sleep with her to test whether or not you loved me more, I can't forgive you for that...'' She cried as she finally came to the real reason why she was pissed off all along
'Priya please... I am begging... I want to be with you, I...I love you... I was never the guy who took relationships seriously until you... You mean the world to me and I am ashamed that I have lost your respect but please before you break up with me, allow me a chance to make this better... I will do better I swear...'' Said Pratik as he looked at her fighting back the tears that were welling in his eyes
'Please...'' He whispered as he leaned in resting his head on her neck and he began kissing her
Priya closed her eyes as she felt his lips on her skin but the image of him and Simmi just wouldn't leave her mind so she pulled away
'Stop... You cannot seriously think kissing me is going to solve anything. It doesn't always work you know...''She said crying
'Okay... Am sorry ...'' He said stepping back
'I think you should go and do not come back...'' She said causing him to look at her like she was taking away everything he had
'You can't be serious... No... You can't be... It just can't end like this Priya I am begging you...'' He said as he came to where she was falling on his knees wrapping his hands around her waist
'It is you and her Pratik, it changed a lot of things between us and I won't be the villain in your love story... My sobriety means everything with me and I can't trust you to help me keep it. It will not be your job but your support would go a long way. Me loving you while I watch you care for another woman will break me and I know that will kill me... Am sorry but you need to go...'' She said as she walked to the door opening it
'Priya... Priya... Plea ...'' He walked to her his voice breaking
'Just go...'' She said in almost a whisper as she looked down unable to look into his eyes anymore
Pratik tears streaming own walked out of that house in complete disbelief. It hadn't even finally hit him that he had probably lost the most important person in his life until he heard that door slum shut behind him. He got into his car crying and he drove off. Priya who could hear his car drive off slumped down on the door and began crying and Ishita who was listening in with Bebe came down stairs and just put her arms around her, giving her comfort as she cried her heartbreak away.
*************************************************
Back at the Bhallas' Mihika was officially meeting Romi's family as his girlfriend. She was nervous because she didn't quite know how Romi's family was going to react seeing her there. They were in a good place and she knew that if his family didn't approve then there was going to be a bit of a problem. She quietly got out of the car and waited for Romi who came and took her hand
'Wow... I do not think I have ever seen you this nervous...'' Romi teased
'Of course I am nervous... What if your family doesn't like me'' Said Mihika
'Then they would be idiots... Why would anyone not like you...'' Said Romi as he winked smiling at her as he tried to calm her nerves
'Romi... Come on be serious...'' Said Mihika
'I promise my love everything is going to be alright... Plus they all kind of know about you and me...'' He said
'Wait... Wha ...'' Mihika began freaking out but he just chuckled and opened the door
In the living room Santosh and Mr. Bhalla were seated there as well as Rinky who was reading something on her phone
'Hey everyone look who popped in...'' Said Romi as he stepped aside turning to Mihika
'Oh... Hey...'' Said Rinky smiling
'How the hell did you manage to convince this one to show up here...'' Asked Santosh
'She kind of loves me so she had no choice...'' Said Romi
'Romi...'' Said Mihika shyly and Romi chuckled
'Come on in... ' Said Romi as he took her hand and lead her into the Livingroom
She walked in humbly greeting his parents as well as Rinky before she sat down not saying a word and it was pretty evident she was nervous as hell. Mr. Bhalla and Rinky figured, why not, have fun, while they were at it.
'So how may we help you Ms. Raghav...'' Said Mr. Bhalla and Mihika looked at him then at Romi who just shrugged not coming to her aid
'Uhh... I didn't...I was...'' She began fidgeting
'Ms. Raghav... Are you alright... Why do you look like you're about to have a heart attack...'' Said Rinky
'Mi... Mihika... Call me Mihika...'' She said humbly
'Okay Mihika what are you doing here with my son...'' Asked Mr. Bhalla with a straight face
'I... We... I love him...'' She said softly and Santosh smiled coming to her rescue
'Stop teasing the poor girl... He already told us why you are here dear... It is okay you can relax... We do not bite...'' Said Santosh and Bhalla together with Rinky began laughing
'I swear Priya and Ishita are way bold than you are... You are so timid when it comes to Romi. Which is strange because you are a very scary CEO...'' Said Rinky and Mihika chuckled coming down a bit
'That is actually easier than this...'' She said
'Well I disagree...'' Said Romi looking at her
'So... Are you sure about this? Because there is still time for you to bail out and run for your life. Leave this crazy behind...'' Said Santosh jokingly
'Ma...'' Said Romi
'Am afraid it is too late... Sort of can't run away now...'' Said Mihika and Santosh came forward holding Mihika's face
'Well then... He is a very lucky man...'' She said
'Thank you Ma...'' Said Mihika surprised
'You always move in triplicates... Where are the other two?'' said Santosh
'Uhh they couldn't make it...'' Said Mihika being polite
'Or they didn't want to be here...'' Said Mr. Bhalla
'No... It is not that... They just didn't want to cause any trouble for anyone so they stayed away...'' Said Mihika
'Why would they think they are causing trouble...'' Said Santosh
'Well Mam... You sort of hate all of them...'' Said Mihika
'That is not true... ' Said Santosh and Mihika looked at her frowning a bit
'Okay but that was then, they saved my life... It would me sickening of me to hate them... Said Santosh scaring Mihika
'Mihika do not worry, even I find her whole demeanor freakishly frightening these days...'' Said Rinky and Mihika smiled
'Am sorry, not that I do not appreciate this but what changed... I mean you hated all our guts... Especially those two Ishu and Priya ... what changed'' Said Mihika
'Well...'' Said Santosh
Flash Back
"Please sir, I am begging you let my husband go see a doctor..." said a terrified Santosh
"Shut up.-." said one of the goons
"What do you want? My son has money, if it is money you want my son will give you all you want just..." cried Santosh
''woman I am not repeating myself. Shut up... "Said the goon
"can't you see Vishu is hurt... Look at him... Why are you doing this?" Cried Santosh
"Smack..." The goon slapped her causing her to fall down
They took her chair and lifted her again as they pulled her husband's chain infant of her pointing the gun to his head as her said to her
''If you do not shut up, I will put a bullet in his head do you understand...? I said the goon
"Yes just Please don't..."Cried Santosh as she sat back scared
Mr. Bhalla had been hurt badly and had been unconscious for a while. Santosh was worried and scared because it was getting clear that the chances of them leaving that place alive were very minimal. She couldn't understand why anyone would want to do that to them.
She began praying and hoping that whatever trouble Rinky had gotten herself into she had the sense to get out of.
She was scared as hell there was no doubting that but she was even more worried about her daughter. She must have been really desperate to think getting herself involved in this trouble was going to solve her problems
'Bang... Bang...'' Gun shot went off outside startling her and the goons that were inside
CHAPTER THIRTY THREE
'What was that...'' Said Santosh crying but they didn't answer her
The goons ran outside to go check out what was happening leaving two inside with them. Santosh was put on gun point as well as Mr. Bhalla as the goons nervously stared at the door. Not knowing what to do, she just closed her eyes as she heard people walk in. She began screaming as guns shots went off for a couple of second and then it went silent.
When she opened her eyes, there was men there dressed in all black as they stood surrounding her as they rest checked the place.
'Mam are you oaky...'' One of then asked
'Yeah My husband...'' Santosh began
'We will take care of him don't worry...'' Said the man turning to his phone
'Mam... It is all clear...''
After a few minutes Ishita and Priya came walking in with another man. They talked to the men while the man checked Mr. Bhalla and Santosh before he turned to Ishita
'He is alright, just dehydrated and in shock but he is alright... Although we need to leave right now ...'' Said the man
'Okay... Uhhh Mrs. Bhalla... Get up and give me your Kurta...'' Said Ishita
'Wha...'' Said Santosh
'Just get up and do as I say...'' Said Ishita
'Why are you doing this? What did Rinky ever...'' Santosh began
'Listen Lucifer you can do the blame game tomorrow right now I need to make sure that you and your daughters are safe so do as I say. Get this shawl and wrap it around yourself and give me your clothes...'' Said Ishita sternly that given the situation and the fact that Ishita may have just saved her, she had no choice
Mr. Bhalla had already been stripped and was being taken out the back while one of the guys began wearing his clothes and began applying makeup. Santosh did the same handing her kurta and she was also rushed out through the back putting them in a car as they waited
After a couple of minutes Ishita and Mihika came out running together with the guys they came with and off the left straight to the hospital. And along the way Priya was more than happy to given Santosh an earful about what Rinky and Simmi had done and how instead of blaming Ishita they should be thanking her because she was saving their lives. But one thing stuck with Santosh, after Priya had given her piece of mind Ishita turned to Priya and said
'Instead of worrying so much about what people thought about you and your status, you should have been worrying about your children. It is your daughters' fault that you are in this place but Blame me, it is always easier to blame someone else when you won't take responsibility for your problems. You know instead of blaming me you should be thanking me. Abhishek was going to kill you... ' She said shaking her head as she added
'When you get to see your son Raman, tell him we are even... I hope I took away apart of his punishment...''
And Santosh could tell whatever the hell happened between her and Raman, Ishita was hurting pretty bad.
'Turns out when you are at the clutched of death, perspectives change a bit and you begin to realize what is important...'' Said Santosh a bit embarrassed and Mihika could see it
Well... Am sure had the tables turned you guys would have done the same...'' Said Mihika
'I highly doubt that...'' Said Rinky
'I still can't believe she actually sent her brother to jail...'' Said Santosh
'Yeah... I thought she was going to cover it up... She has the means to do so...'' Said Mr. Bhalla
'Well trust me... That relationship has had problems for years plus he touched a nerve that was still raw... He had to have known anything Raman related would cause problems... Raina is in trouble because of that'' Said Mihika
'Meaning...'' Said Romi
'Can't say...'' Said Mihika and Romi just shook his head because he was slowly learning about her and her bond with those girls
'What did she do with my Kurta...'' Said Santosh
'What...'' Said Romi
'Ishita... What did she do with our clothes when she asked for them'' Said Santosh
'Well... She needed to make sure Rinky and Simmi got out of the picture, in order for that to happen, you guys needed to get out of the picture but she wanted to make Abhishek pay for what he did. So because there was surveillance on you the entire time you were there, we needed to make it look like it wasn't you. She tempered with their tapes, planted new ones, and hired professionals to take your place and hence solving that problem. By the time Abhishek showed up claiming he knew nothing about the people in the warehouse it was too late and any other story from what Ishita was giving would mean more jail time so it worked out...'' Said Mihika
'She did all this for us...'' Said Mr. Bhalla
'No... No... She still thinks your wife is an annoying know-it all... She did this for...'' Said Mihika but Santosh completed
'Raman... She is in love with him...''
'But the idiot won't go see her...'' Said Rinky
'I actually do not think it is his fault. She won't see him... Actually it is more like she can't...'' Said Mihika
'Why is that though...'' Said Romi
'I am sorry I can't answer that...'' Said Mihika
'Of course you can't...'' Said Rinky
'Okay is it business or for personal reasons...'' Said Romi
'Both...'' Said Mihika
'Dammit you're hard to crack...'' Said Rinky
'Well... At least we learnt one thing today... Romi landed a very loyal woman...Those do not come by easily these days'' Said Mr. Bhalla and Mihika smiled
'Thank you Sir...'' She said
'Don't I know it...'' Said Romi as she smiled
Raman who had no idea what was going on came down stairs completely zoned out. He had stayed up with his kids until they eventually went to sleep but he couldn't help but have this ugly feeling in that back of his mind that something was going to go horribly wrong. They were no longer the naughty but loving kids he knew and for them to have that kind of anger towards someone they cared about, it had to take a lot for that person to hurt them or someone they blindly trusted to turn their head
'Raman...'' His father called him
'Yeah...'' He said coming out of his stance
'Is everything alright...'' Said Mr. Bhalla
'I am not sure...'' Said Raman
'What do you mean?'' Said Santosh
'Something is a bit off with them... The kids... Something is off...'' He said
'I don't follow...'' Said Romi
"Are they alright? "Asked Romi
"Yeah... Right I am not sure. They are acting a bit strange. Adi Seems to think that I am forgetting them and they all of a sudden have this hale for.-."He answered but held his tongue as he turned to Mihika
"Hate for what..." Asked Santosh
"Not what... Whom..." Said Rinky
"Hate for whom..." Said Romi
"Ishita..." Said Rinky
'Those kids... Hate Ishita... Since when..."said Santosh
"No way... I do not believe it..." Said Romi
"I think someone is poisoning them.-." said Raman
"Yeah but why '' Said Rinky
"I don't... Mihir..." Raman called
"Yes sir..." In came Mihir
"Have you seen the kids talk to anyone strange or act differently recently... '' Said Romi
"No sir... Is everything okay" Said Mihir
"What about a change in behavior or something..." said Rinky
"Not that I can tell. Except maybe the last couple of weeks they have gone to the park a lot. Aditya even misses his recitals sometimes such that he can get to the park. Plus there is that teddy bear'' said Mihir
"What teddy bear? Asked Raman
"They move with that teddy everywhere. "Said Rinky
"Why is that strange? " Said Mihika
"Because this fascination for teddy bears began a month ago... Something is off..? Said Raman
"Okay you all are officially freaking me out" Said Romi
"Priya did talk about that lady she saw them talk to..?'' Said Mihika
"What lady..." Asked Raman
''The one she saw them with when she went to pick them up from recital...she was supposed to tell you about it but as we all know that didn't quite pan out..."said Mihika
"Meaning..?'' Said Mr. Bhalla
"Well she wanted to tell Raman about it but there was the whole thing with blaming Ishita and so ..."Said Mihika looking at Raman
'So... Who was the woman then...'' Said Romi
'She didn't find out and am pretty sure she didn't tell Ishu as well because if she had, we would have figured out who it was by now...'' Said Mihika
'I have a really bad feeling about this you know...'' Said Raman
'Why don't you tell Pratik to put one of his Private Investigator buddies on it...'' Said Santosh
'I will... I seriously need to know what is happening...'' Said Raman concerned before he said
'Excuse my manners... How is everything and everyone?''
'Good...'' Said Mihika
'Great... And Bebe ... And everyone ...'' Said Raman
'Well good... I suppose'' Said Mihika refusing to give away anything she wasn't asked but his siblings weren't making this any easy
'Oh God just ask her what you want to... ' Said Rinky turning to Mihika as she said
'Will Ishita be there at the launch next week...'' And Mihika chuckled, saying
'She can't miss that one. Press appearances are very important for this to work. So as much as she hates them, she had to be there...'' Said Mihika turning to Raman
'In fact I think we tabled down an interview for both of you...'' She added
'WAIT... Them together or separately...'' Said Romi
'Together of course... She knows nothing about fashion if would be suicidal to leave her in an interview alone...'' Said Mihika
'Oh... Okay... Good...'' Said Raman as he turned smiling a bit although he tried to hide it
'Okay then... Can we eat then...? I am starving...'' Said Rinky opting not to tease her brother again
