Thank u so much for ur lovely response.

Part-1

Bhallas and Aroras were living in Chandigarh and were family friends from many years but later Mr and Mrs Arora along with their son Mihir Arora (sorry forget to give his introduction in character sketch, he is also a college student final year law) shifted to Delhi. The reason behind it is Mrs Arora was a lawyer and always fought for women's rights. Once she took a murder case of a girl who denied to marry a boy who was a goon and the goons killed Mr Arora's parents so that Mrs Arora back out from case but she fought it and won also but after they left the city due to bad memories but she never ever back out. Bhallas still lived in Chandigarh but their friendship never fades away and they used to go for a small vacation to Chandigarh two-three times in a year.

Aroras met Iyers in Delhi who were leaving in Delhi from some years and as both families were living just side by side, all become friends soon. Mr and Mrs Iyer know about Mr and Mrs bhalla from Mr and Mrs Arora while their children also become friends soon and Mihir also used to tell them about his Raman bhai and Rinki. He called ishita akka.

At present,

Iyers and Aroras living in Delhi from past 10 years.

Ishra were in final year M.B.A. and had given their final exams happily but their happiness, in fact their whole world got lost when they got to know that their parents died in a business party due to fire at the party venue in Delhi (Mr and Mrs Bhalla AND Mr and Mrs Iyer went to business party of a common investor in Delhi. Both couples met and got to know that they r those Iyers and Bhallas about whom Aroras told them. They got friendly in the party itself. Even both fathers thought of a combined project also for future but destiny played a bad game with them and it came as a big shock for all.

Mr and Mrs Arora were not able to understand how suddenly it all happened as all four died leaving their children all alone. They were hurt too as they also lost their best friends who were their family also but they somehow handling their emotions as right now their first priority is to give support and love and guide all children together.  It's true that they always considered their six children together, never treated them as other's but that time and this time is totally different. Both situations r different and now it's their duty to guide them right path and protect them from every odds.

When Mr and Mrs Arora came to know about this mishap they directly went to the venue in night itself and Mihir went to Iyer house to be with Mihika and Kartik. They didn't told them about their loss that time as all were admitted in hospital. That time Ishra were not at home as both were living in hostel. Rinki went for a trip with her friends in Jaipur.

When Mr and Mrs Arora reached there, only Mr Iyer was living his last breaths. They were crying seeing their best friends dead and only one is there that to be in that condition. Both met him and Mr Arora tried to be strong and talked to Mr Iyer, before he could say something, Mr Iyer gave a pleading look to them folding his hands with much difficulty and lived his last breath and died in front of them. Both cried losing their last hope in front of them only. Nurse gave a chit to them and told Mr Iyer gave it for them. They opened it with shivering hands and after reading it cried more. It read,

"Roiye mat aap log or hamare bacho ko bhi kahna vo roye na, jo kismat mein tha vhi hua hai. Bhot achi jindagi bitai hai humne. Humhe pta hai aap dono hamare bacho ka khyal rakhenge, bas hamara vo sapna yad rakhna

After sometime Mr and Mrs Arora somehow controlled their emotions as they have to be strong for their children. Both did all the formalities and decided to take Iyers bodies to Iyer house while Bhallas bodies to Chandigarh. After deciding it they called Ishita and Raman and told them about mishap making both shattered and both just run to come back their homes from their hostels leaving everything. Mr Arora did all arrangements and went to Chandigarh taking bodies, he called Rinki too and asked to come back soon while Mrs Arora went to Iyer house, she break the news to Mihika, Karthik and Mihir giving them biggest shock to them. She tried to console them but she herself was hurt.

At the other side, Mr Arora reached Chandigarh. Till early morning Ishra and Rinki too reached their respective homes. As Mr Bhalla and Mr Iyer were businessmen so media already spread this news. Mr and Mrs Arora arranged all and soon they completed all rituals of last rites.

A week passed like hell for all. Ishra were handling their siblings like a perfect elder sister and brother.Mr and Mrs Arora were always there to help them. Till now they had to handle them only but now they started worried about their fathers' business as both of them don't know about business and at this time only Ishra can handle their business but they r so much lost. At last, they talked to Ishra on which they agreed. Raman told Mr Arora to go back to Delhi as he will take care of him, Rinki and their business. Mr Arora told him that he will go but along with them as they will not leave them alone. Raman first denied but later Mrs Arora too make him understand that Rinki is young and she needs a motherly love. He agreed. Mihir came to Chandigarh and took Rinki with him to Delhi while Raman and Mr Arora stayed there for one more week to set all. Rinki stayed in Arora house. Mrs Arora was giving best to give a motherly love to all. As it was vacation time, so all were at home all day.

After one week, Raman and Mr Arora came to Delhi but Raman denied to go at their place and went to office itself where he started living in apartment. Mr Arora couldn't deny as he knew that Raman needs some time to get over this bad phase.

When he reached home, he first went to Iyer house thinking all were there only as it was morning. He met all except Ishita and got to know she is not coming home regularly. She use to come late night or morning to have a look of Mihika and Karthik and just go back to office. Mrs Arora talked to Mr Arora personally and told that Iyer's business had a great loss earlier also but that time Mr Iyer made a plan to overcome that loss and now some investors r demanding their investment back as ishita is new. She told him that is handling all perfectly but there is something which she is hiding and they should talk to her. Mr Arora agreed and decide to talk to her when she will come but after sometime her driver came to take her clothes and some files stating she is not coming home. Mr and Mrs Arora got sure that she is trying to avoid Mr Arora as she is very close to him just like a second father, as Aroras didn't have any daughter they loved her like their daughter.

It was lunch break, Mr and Mrs Arora went to Ishita's office and directly went to her cabin. They didn't knocked as they thought she must be having lunch but the scene in front of their eyes made their eyes filled with tears. There Ishita was sitting on floor in a corner and was lost staring at her mobile and tears were flowing from her eyes but there was no emotion on her face. Mrs Arora went to her and sat beside her while Mr Arora sat in front of her.

Mr A - (put his hand on her head and lovingly caressed) Ishu ..

It was just a mere whisper he could say controlling his emotions. Ishita blankly looked at him while he opened his arms for her and said,

Mr A - Kabhi kabhi dil k jazbat aankhon se jhalak jane chahiye, kanna.

That was the last word she could hear, she couldn't control anymore and cried hugging him like a daughter get a father for whom she was craving these days. Till now everyone cried for their loss but not Ishita. First Ishra cried when they got the news but when they realized that their younger siblings need them then they never cried in front of all. But when Mr Arora was alone with Raman, he shared his pain but Ishita, she couldn't get that shoulder as Mrs Arora was handling three at a time and couldn't give support to fourth one that is Ishita. Now when she couldn't control and just pouring her all emotions in front of them. Mr and Mrs Arora too cried with her.

After some time,

I - Amma-Appa aise kaise ja sakte hai humhe chod kar.

Mr A - Nhi beta aisa nhi bolte. Amma appa hamesha hamare sath hai. Physically nhi hai to Kya Hua, yaadon mein to hai naa. Chalo ab rona band karo.

Mr Arora broke the hug and wiped her tears.

Mrs A - Chalo aaj hum tumhe khana khilayenge. And sorry beta, itne dino se maine tumhe time hi nhi Diya.

I - Nhi aunty aap sorry mat boliye. In fact mujhe aap dono ko thank u bolna chahiye, aap dono ne hamara itna sath Diya. Aap dono ka ye ehsaan Mai kabhi nhi chuka sakti.

Mr A - To ye ehsaan tha?

Ishita just looked down not able to meet their eyes.

Mr A - Meri taraf dekh kar bolo. Agar agli bar aisa kaha Na kabhi to mujhse bat mat karna, samjhi. Mera pagal bachcha.

Trio shared a hug. After a while Mrs Arora served lunch in a plate which she brought from home and both fed Ishita like their daughter and trio shared an emotional lunch together. After that they tried to ask her about business problem but she just said that investors r insecure about this project but she will handle them. They were not fully convinced but thought to give some time to her. After some light conversation and assuring her that they r always there for her if she wants any help or share anything, they left her cabin and then they went to Raman's office and had a light lunch with him also.
