Chapter 5

AFTER 5 YEARS

Arnav was coming down from his room while other members were sitting in the hall room . Everyone was shocked seeing him there but ignored him except two. That is Payal and her son Ayaan who was only 4 years old. Payal was happy. Extremely happy.

Payal: Is it really Arnavji?

Arnav: I wish so. I am going to check .

Payal: Where?

Arnav: Goa.

Ayaan: Badi pa I'll miss you.

Arnav sat on his level and kiss him on his forehead.

Arnav : I'll miss you too sonu.

Then he looked at the others member. They were seeing him standing there. He saw everyone as if he was seeing them for the first time. He saw a girl of 5 years old standing near Anjali who was trying to hide herself behind her maa. Yes it was Aurin daughter of Anjali who was seeing her mama for the first time. Arnav let go off a sigh. He knew everything will be fine if only she is back. For the last 5 years he never came out of his room. Even no one bothered to visit him either except Payal . She was the one who looked after him. He promised to himself that he will come out of his room if he got any news about her. Anjali once asked Payal that why she is giving him so much time after what he had done to Her sister. Payal told that he is already in punishment. He needed someone who will give him the hope of her coming back. After Ayaan was born Arnav hold him as his life savior. Ayaan spent most of the time in Arnav's room. But Aurin was new to him. He saw her first time after all this 5 years. So seeing him for the first time Aurin got scared. She knew there was someone who was her mama who lived behind that closed door but never had the gut to see him.

Then Arnav left RM for Goa. Today morning he got the news from the Agenda that Khushi is in Goa. She had a daughter named Arushi .Khushi is a school teacher whose salary is very low. But she got admitted her daughter in the best school of the town. ' after all she is Arnav Singh Raizada's daughter. She deserves the best and her maa is giving her that. ' Arnav thought.

After coming out from the airport Arnav headed towards her residence without thinking anything. He got the address by his agent. When he reached there he found an almost broken house. He was hurt thinking his Queen and Princess is remaining in this house. He saw the door was closed from outside as there was no one. He asked a passerby about them. He told that both of them were out for their respective school. He first thought about seeing Arushi but he had never seen her. And he also didn't want to come in front of Khushi so fast. So he went to the hotel.

At night he came to Khushi's house again. He saw light from there which indicated that they were there. His knees started trembling. He could not knock the door. So he went to the back of the house and saw one window was open. He peeped from there inside the room. It was the bedroom window and he saw a girl of 5 was playing with a teddy. Arnav's eyes welled up seeing his daughter in front of him for the first time.She was just like her mother Khushi. He controlled his urge to go to near her and kiss her on her checks. Then he looked here and there for Khushi but didn't found her. He saw the whole room and saw the only toy for his daughter was the teddy which was old. After some time Khushi entered into the room with a plate of food. She was wearing a saree and her only jewelry was her mangalsutra. She was thin before but Now she is thinned but there was a motherly glow in her face. She came near Arushi and sat on the bed.

Khushi: Arushi, come have food.

Arushi: Did you have?

Arnav got shocked hearing her firm voice which was full of authority even over her maa.

Khushi: Come on I'll take it latter.

Arushi: I know you won't take it. I know this is the food for today and you want me to eat. How can you even think I'll take food keeping my maa starving?

Khushi: But you will fall sick. You have to take food properly.

Arushi: Ok. Let's share it.

Khushi had no other chance to left but to agree her daughter. She was just like her father always get what she wanted. But the difference was she loves Khushi a lot. Khushi wiped a tear drop from her eyes which was unnoticed by Arushi but was noticed by Arnav. He was one of the greatest businessmen in India, the king of fashion world but his queen and princess were sharing food which was hardly for one.

Arnav:( to himself) I promise Khushi you bad days are going to be end. I will give you both the right place of yours very soon.

On the other hand the mother daughter duo finished their dinner and arranged for their sleep. Arnav saw them lying hugged and heard their conversation

Arushi: Maa, I know you can't afford my school fees then why did you admitted me in that expensive school? I can go some other school.

Khushi: Stop it Arushi. You are my princess. You deserve the best.

Arushi: Then why Paa left me?

Khushi: Who said Paa left you? He loves you a lot.

She tried to hide her tears. How can tell her daughter that he denied her?

Arushi: I know. Then why he hadn't come all these years to see us?

Khushi: He have some important work.

Arushi: No he doesn't. He abundant us. And I hate him for that.

Khushi: Don't tell that about him. He is your Paa.

Arushi: I don't care.

Then she turned her face and slept. Khushi started shedding her tears and then dozed off.

On the other hand Arnav was hurt hearing the face that his own daughter hated him.

Arnav:( to himself) After all you are my daughter.

Then he left the place with a content in his heart and a plan in his mind.
