Agam sat on his chair at the dining table to have his breakfast. He looked towards his grandmother, who was looking at him with her questioning eyes but he choose to ignore it and concentrated on his plate. He is not ready to start the same argument again with his Nanu. So he was quietly having his breakfast without uttering a word.

But his Nanu, Gayatri Bajpai was in no mood for a quite breakfast. She wants some answers and She will get it today. No matter what! So as Agam was ready to leave the dining table, she started.

"Agam, can I have a conversation with you?" asked Agam's Nanu.

No not again thought Agam but nevertheless turned towards his Nanu and gave her a positive nod. And so they moved towards the living area to start with the conversation.

"Agam I want to ask that what is bothering you?" asked Agam's Nanu after observing her grandson from few days and came to the closure that there is something bothering him.

"Nothing Nanu! Nothing is bothering me and if this is what you wanted to talk about than I think there's no more to talk, so I am leaving for office" said Agam and turned around to leave but hearing his Nanu's next sentence his stride came to an halt.

"Why can't you let it go, Agam?" asked Gayatri Bajpai, for the thousand time.

"What are you talkig about, Nanu?" aked Agam, very well knowing what his Nanu is talking about.

"You know Agam, what I am talking about! Why can't you let your past go? Why are you still holding the past thread? This way you are only causing harm to you, Agam! Let bygones be bygones! Free the past demons, Agam! Please not for me but for your sake. Please! No one is going to benefit from this! Not you and definitely not him!" said Gayatri Bajpai, desperate and determined to make her grandson understand than no one is going to benefit from this hatred.

Agam snapped towards his Nanu with his furious eyes. Let it go? Let go? Just like that?! His years of misery! Everyone's taunts! His suffering! His sorrows! His torments! His hardship to reach where he is standing today! He should let it all go? How? How can he just let it go?! How can he release the past's thread when the past still haunts him?! When everyone's taunts are still fresh in his head?! When he still get nightmares of all the injustices inflicted just on him?! Why he should let it go? No! There is no way is going to forget his past! No way!

"I can't!" was Agam's short reply and he turned around to leave this place as soon as possible.

"Agam! I know your past is not your fault. I know that you have suffered for no crime of yours! But tell me Agam, is it Arnav's fault? Is he responsible for your past? No, Agam it's not his fault! He is also a victim as much YOU are! So why this hatred, Agam? Why? What will you get by all this venom? " asked Gayarti Bajpai, helplessly.

That was the last nail in coffin and not able to control himself he snapped at his Nanu.

"Than was it my fault Nanu?!!! Was it my fault?!! Why Arnav got everything which I was deprived of?!!! Why he got his father's love when I gone none?!! Why he got his father's name when I, despite of being by father's first son was not allowed to use my father's surname?!! Why Nanu?!!! Why?!! Can you give me an answer? No, right?!! You don't have any answer!! If you don't have any answer than you don't have a right to stop me! I will do what I feel is right! " shouted Agam and without waiting for any reply stormed out of his house.

His Nanu, Gayatri Bajpai watched his grandson leave the house, helplessly. She slumped down on the nearby sofa. What can she do to stop all this? It's all her fault! She should have not told the truth to Agam. He is getting impossible day by day. He is not a bad person! She knows that! His grandson is not a bad person but his horrible past has made him this way! And now he has shut his heart for everyone and is nurturing just hatred for Arnav.

But what Agam's Nanu is unable to see is that, its not hatred! Its not hatred, its jealousy!

It's the same jealousy a kid feels when he sees than his parents has given an extra kiss to his sibling, when he sees that his sibling has got an extra hug, when he sees that his sibling has got an extra "I Love You". And that time he feels jealous! He thinks that he hates his sibling, that he doesn't need any sibling.

But at the same time he is the first one to stand for his sibling, first one to run towards his injured sibling with a first aid box, first one to embrace his sibling when he/she needs him. He thinks that his sibling is his property, he fights with them, tauts them, tease them, hurt them but if someone else tries to do the above mentioned things than it becomes unbearable.

They love eachother immensely but when their parents became partial towards them, than that love just evaporates in a thin air and all left his just jealousy. Parents are a most precious thing in kid's life and they need to be very careful with their kids. Sharing is not a virtue that comes naturally. And that's the reason it is taught to us from our childhood that we should share. Kids are very possessive for their parents, they don't like sharing their parents's love with someone else but they do it with their siblings.

And then when they see even a slight partial behavior than it becomes a bit much, intolerable, unacceptable!!

And here Agam Bajpai was not given a percent of his father's affection, was not allowed to call him his father, was not allowed to use his father's surname, and was deprived of all his rights!!!

And now Agam Bajpai is a wounded soul!

Unsure of what he should do inorder to get all his rights!

But he is determined to get them!

Arnav entered the dining area, all ready for the office to see the familiar sight of Khushi serving breakfast to Aarav and his Nani. He went and sat on his chair. Khushi looked towards him and passing a smile she went towards him and served him the breakfast. Everyone ate their breakfast with the usual chatter around.

After finishing the breakfast Arnav got up to leave for office followed by Aarav.

"Khushi, bye! I am leaving! Aarav came on, get ready fast, I am getting late!" said Arnav while putting his coat on.

"Yes, Dad! I am ready!" said Aarav and went to pick up his bag.

"Khushi bitiya, I am going to visit my friend. From few days she is not coming to Devi Maiya's temple as she is not well, so I will just go and ask her if she is doing well" informed Nani.

"Ji Nani ji!" relpied Khushi.

With that Nani went to visit her friend and Arnav waited for Aarav.

"Arnav ji, today you are in a hurry?" asked Khushi and stood in front of Arnav ji.

"Yes, Khushi! I am having a important meeting today in one hour so I am in a hurry"replied Arnav.

And at the same time Aarav came running, ready to leave for school.

"hmm...Ok... bye...bye Aarav" said Khushi and kissed both of them and saw them leaving the house and than turned around and sprinted to her room.

Arnav and Aarav where in the car making there way to Aarav's school. Aarav looked towards his Dad and thought that this is the best time to talk with him.

"Dad? You remember na? Tomorrow is Mom's birthday!" said Aarav.

"Yes, Aarav! I remember! Why are you asking?" asked Arnav, confused.

"So, you must have bought the gift, right? So...what have you bought?" asked Aarav, trying to deduce what his Dad has bought for his Mom. What if it is better than his?

"Yes! I have bought. But why should I tell you? It's a surprise!" replied Arnav, very well knowing his son's intentions.

"Hmmm...I was just asking...waise I have also selected the gift for Mom. And I am sure my gift will be the best. Mom is going to love it." said Aarav, proud of himself and confident on his gift.

"Oh! You think your gift is the best? Well than you can dream on, Son because my gift is the best!" declared Arnav Singh Raizada.

"Yes, Dad! You have said the same thing on your first anniversary but you know the end result, or have you forgotten? " countered Aarav. His gift was the best and it will be the best this time too, smirked Aarav.

Before Arnav can reply to that, they have reached the school and as soon as Arnav stopped the car, Aarav opened the car door and sprinted from the car without waiting for the answer.

Arnav saw his Son running inside the school and sighed. Well Khuhsi has liked Aarav's gift more than his but this time it is not going to happen. This time his gift is the best, smiled Arnav on his thought and turned his car and started driving towards his office.

Shit! Shouted a frustrated Arnav and banged his fist on the steering wheel. This traffic! He will be late for the meeting but he can't do anything but wait for the traffic to clear.

As soon as the traffic was clear Arnav sped his car in full speed, in a hurry to reach for the meeting. He was driving the car in full speed and inorder to take over a truck he sped in a hurry but at the end he lost his control and to save himself from banging the truck, he moved the steering wheel to turn left but unable to do so he banged the car on a huge tree with a BANG!!

Agam was seated in a back seat of his car with his driver driving the car. They were making there way to Agam's office. Agam looked out of the window and his brow frowned seeing a crowd gathered in the front. His driver stopped the car as there was no way to move the car.

"what the hell his happening there? What are they doing on the road?!" asked Agam with clenched jaw.

"I don't know, Sir! Let me see what the problem is" said the driver and moved out of the car to look what is happening there.

Agam waited for his driver's return but his delay was agitating him more and not a fan of waiting, Agam moved out the car to look what the matter is.

He moved towards the crowd. Seeing a car he was sure that car has met with an accident but as in a daze he moved towards the car, making his way through the crowd, he soon reached in front of the car and stood shocked seeing the person in the car!

Arnav!!

He immediately moved towards the car, opened the car's door and patted Arnav on his cheek to wake him but Arnav remained unconscious with blood oozing out from his forehead.

"Arnav! Arnav! Open your eyes! Shit!" hollered Agam but Arnav remained unconscious, so giving up, Agam caught hold of his shoulder and moved him out his car. He took Arnav's hand at palced it round his neck and supported him to stand on his feet and gestured his driver to bring his car.

His driver immediately obliged and brought the car in front of them. Agam placed Arnav on the back seat and he too sat beside him and ordered his driver to speed towards hospital as soon as possible.

Soon they reached the hospital and Agam called out for help. Soon the paramedic were by his side and took Arnav on the stretcher. But seeing the patience condition Doctor knew that it is an accident case and they can't treat the patient before they inform the police and the same thing they said to the concerned looking man standing in front of him.

"See, Mr.Bajpai, we can't start the treatment till we inform Police about this accident!" said the Doctor to the fuming man standing in front of him.

But not able to process or think rationally, Agam caught hold of Doctor's lapel and started in a terrifying voice "Doctor, if you will not start the treatment right away than your license will be terminated this very moment and in the next your hospital will be down. DO YOU GET ME?!!" shouted Agam.

"But Mr. Bajpai..." started the Doctor , again but was again cut by Agam.

"Don't you get me? I said you will start his treatment RIGHT NOW!!" again bellowed Agam.

"Ok, Mr. Bajpai! We will start the treatment! You please fill the form" saying that, Doctor signaled his help to wheel the patient in the operation theater.

"Laxmiji? Please stop running? Why are you not listening to me today? Please come here!" shouted Khushi while running around to catch Laxmi.

"Laxmi ji wait! " Khushi ran behind her but as she neared the coffee table her leg hit the table and as an impact of that a photo frame placed on the table fell on the floor.

Khushi gasped and immediately stopped in her track. She knelt down and picked the frame, carefully but frame was broken completely. She cleared the glass pieces and took the photo in her hand. It was the photo of Arnav which she has taken on their first anniversary and after seeing the scratched photo, she suddenly felt her heart getting heavy with worry. But immediately she brushed the thought but still she has feeling upset over the broken frame. NO! There is nothing to worry! Arnav ji is safe! He is in office! He has told that he has an important meeting today and at this moment he will be in his meeting! But than why this uneasiness?

I will call him! Yes! But he will be in meeting; he will not pick the phone. I will call Aman ji! Yes I will call him and with that thought Khushi picked her phone to call Aman ji.

"Hello, Aman ji! Namaste! Hmm...Aman ji...Arnav ji is in the meeting, right? " asked Khushi, desperately praying for a yes.

"Khushi Bhabhi...no he has not reached the office till now...we all are waiting for him so that we can start the meeting" replied Aman, confused on why his boss has not yet reached the office.

"What!!!"...he ...he has not reached office...but ...but...he left the house...than...why...why..." not able to think anything properly and wrecked with worry she ended the call without a proper reply.

"where is he?...he told he has a important meeting...than...why...why...why he has not reached the office...I ...I...will call him...yes I will call him...he will pick the call...yes...he is fine...he is fine...Hey Devi Miaya...please let him be ok...please...please..." prayed Khushi, desperately and again picked her phone with the trembling hand to call Arnav ji.

Agam was seated outside the ICU door and suddenly felt something vibrate in his hand. He looked at his hand and saw it was Arnav's cell which Nurse has just given him.

He looked at the caller id and stared at the name.

Khuhi!

He stared at the phone and battled on whether he should pick it or not. The phone kept on vibrating and he kept on staring at the phone.

But seeing that the phone was continuously vibrating he thought of picking it and dragged his finger on the receive button.

"Hello...Arnav ji...Arnav ji...you are OK right?...Arnav ji? Why have you not reached the office yet...where are you?...you are Ok na? ...why...why are you not saying...saying... anything?...you are ok, right?" asked Khushi frantically with trembling voice in the phone.

Agam stood there without uttering a word. Hearing her worried and trembling voice, he was not sure whether he should tell her about the accident or not. But hearing her frenzied voice he thought of telling her.

"Hmmm...Khushi..." started Agam but was cut off by Khushi the very instant.

"Who are you?!Where is my Arnav ji?! How Arnav ji's cell is with you?!...where is Arnav ji?!" askd Khushi terrified at hearing someone else's voice on Arnav ji's phone.

"Khushi...hmm...Agam here...Arnav...Arnav...he met with an accident" said Agam and heard a loud gasp and immediately the call ended.

Khushi!

Khushi!!

Khushi!!!!
