Abhiya ff:WHO AM I Book 2 Upd Ch21 pg32 * 12th aug* - Page 18

Raichand Mansion:

"Time is running out. We have to do something quickly.", Chand said.

"But what should we do? We don't even know if the heir is even alive.", Haseena said.

"I know. I know that we don't have any clue about the heir. But now...now we don't have time to waste. We have to find him. Tomorrow we will discuss this with Anvesha and Abhay.", He said.

He was about to go to the study when he turned and asked Haseena, "by the way...where is Abhay? Now a days he is very less at home..."

"He is with Piya.", she answered. "That human girl?" She just nodded. Chand said nothing. He was thinking something.

That was when they heard a knock at the door.

"Who could be at this time of night?" , both thought. They could sense it was some human only. But who? Nevertheless, Haseena went and opened the door.

She was a little shocked to see him at this time of night. She invited him in.

"I know its very late at night and...but...well...but I didn't have a choice", he was a little hesitant but he knows that he could trust them only. "I have very less time and before things go out of our hands...and I can believe only on you people on this matter." He said.

"Oh! Thats alright...but we are really unable to understand what do you mean...", Chand asked.

"I am here to have a few words with you people...but before that please call Abhay and Anvesha also.", he requested.

Both Haseena and Chand are unable to understand what's running person's mind who is in-front of them...but still Chand connected to Abhay and Anvesha through telepathy and asked them to come home immediately.

After sometime, both Abhay and Anvesha arrived. "Dhruv!! You here? At this time?" both were shocked to see Dhruv at this time at there home...

"Abhay where is Piya?", He asked ignoring their shocked and curious gazes.

"She is at her hostel only.", "...and yes I made sure she had her protection spells around her before coming here..." Abhay added seeing Dhruv frowing at him.

"What protection spell? What are you talking about?" Chand was the first one to exclaim.

Now this was a news. Abhay was here freely talking about powers spells etc to a human and here they are worrying about people's safety.

"Well yes...and thats the same thing I am here to talk about.", Dhruv said. He turned to Abhay and asked, "has Princess told you anything about herself? About us? About...", "Yes I know all about that..." Abhay replied before Dhruv can finish his question.

"What is happening here?"Haseena asked this time.

"I am here to tell you about the very HEIR you are looking for..." He said.

What? What the hell was happening...how come he knows all this...Haseena and Chand were looking at him baffled while Anvesha was confused and Abhay was standing calming as he had an inkling that Piya only might be the heir they are looking for but he himself wasn't sure back that time when Piya had told him. So he was all fine with it. Chand and Haseena were also shocked to see that Abhay seems to be aware of all this and he didn't tell them.

"Please...I request you to listen to me first and then take the decision..." Dhruv requested them.

"Yes do go ahead...I am very impatient to discover that my son already knew everything and never thought to discuss with us...", Chand said sarcastically.

Abhay just rolled his eyes. Anvesha said nothing. Dhruv sighed and continued. He started from the very beginning to today...what all had happened. By the time he finished telling, it looked like he would cry any minute. Anvesha was almost crying and haseena though said nothing but she too sympathized with child Dhruv Piya Ashna and Navi. Dhruv composed himself and continued again, "And what happened back that day at Misha's house was a sign that its has already began. They will come looking for her and will harm her for her powers. She is still not attuned to her powers. She doesn't know how to handle them. Till her next birthday she will get her full powers which will be uncontrollable for her if she doesn't learn how to handle they."

Slience prevailed. After what some time Chand asked, "What do you mean by you do not have much time?"

Dhruv said nothing. He was silent for sometime. "Excatly what you heard...", He sighed and continued, "They will come behind Princess for her powers and it is more than sure that I have to die..." He said. His tone was so casual as if that he was talking about going on a trip. All for Raichands were stunned. They were not able to say anything.

"W..what...!! but how can say that...why are saying that? This is absurd.", Anvesha shouted. Abhay was also affected this. He was thinking about Piya. She would not be able to bear it.

As much as Dhruv wanted to say something to Anvesha to bring her out of this misery...but he controlled himself and ignored her. "I want you people be with her...support her...stand by her...", he said.

"We are always with son...don't worry everything will be alright.", Haseena said.

"Am talking to you and you are ignoring me...Dhruv how can you...", but Anvesha was cut off by Dhruv, "Anvesha...please...we will talk about this later..." "I think I should leave now...", he added.

"Dhruv wait.", Finally Chand spoke.

...

It was almost after 2 hours that Dhruv finally took his leave. Now only Raichands were there. Noone knew where to start. "Abhay why didn't you..." Haseena started, but Abhay cut her "good night" and quickly moved to his room. He knew if had stayed any longer, there would have been a verbal dispute between them and that was the last thing he wanted.

"How can he go like this? He knows something more and he knew everything already, then why didn't he tell us...", Chand said he was agitated. "He hid such a big thing from us..."

"Dad...", Anvesha called him, finally finding her voice, "Dad please leave it today...I will talk to bhai...", saying that she went to her room.

Next Day:

Piya was the first one to reach college. After sometimes came Misha. She was alone today. On enquiring, she told that Kabir had some errands to run so he won't be able to come today.

"So Piya darling...don't you think you are a bit early today...Is something special? Hmmm...say say..." ,Misha teased her.

"Noo...no nothing...I was just waiting for Ab...Dhruv... actually I have to talk something important to him...", Piya replied.

"Did I just hear AB----. Well well...whose name starts with that letter...ooo Abhay... Piya was waiting for Abhay...Piya is waiting for Abhay", Misha was teasing her, while jay too joined in it.

"What is happening here guys...??", Dhruv, Adhiraj and Anvesha joined them. But Abhay was nowhere to be seen. Piya was anxiously looking everywhere but no use.

"What happened Piya? Are you looking for someone?" Anvesha asked seeing her looking here and there. There was a naughty glint in her eyes. Piya vigorously nodded her head in denial. A deep red blush crept on her cheeks. She was blushing. Dhruv was very happy for his Princess. A big smile appeared on his face. He could also feel a lump, a wave of sadness thinking about future. There way ahead is not going to be easy. But for the time being he is very happy. He doesn't want to think about those things right now.

"Don't worry bhai will arrive in sometime. He will be a little late today." Anvesha teased her again.

"No no I was not looking for him...I was...I was looking for Dhruv..." she said hurriedly.

"But princess I am standing here only." Dhruv said. Piya looked at everyone and shyly smiled. Seeing her like this everyone laughed.

After the classes were over, Dhruv took Piya with him. "Princess I want you to get trained by someone." He said.

"But bhai..." Whenever they were alone she used to call him bhai. "...Bhai, why...and most importantly who will train me..."

"What is the need for this...I am fine bhai...n"" She started panicking. "Piya Piya...Princess..listen to me...please listen to me...it will be good for you only to get trained by someone...you will be able to handle things more properly and in a better way. Please try to understand my dear...for me please...and you won't be alone...I will be there with you...hmmm..." Dhruv tried to relax her seeing her so much panick. "Princess...dear...???"

"Bhai...ummm...is it ok if I tell you after sometime..." she asked...her voice so small and soft.

"Yes yes no force...take your time..." he said. "Ok now, I will drop you back to hostel."

Adhiraj was frustrated. Angry. Hurting. He was not getting what to think, what to do. "Damnit! That psychotic was woman hell bent to harm Piya...What should I do...there has to be some way. In no condition am I going to harm her or anyone here...I have to find out a way for this problem." But then there was small voice at the back of his head telling him that...their is much more that what he is seeing. And he is sure that his so called highness is planning something else also. But what?! That was the question. As he was going away from the forest towards the clearings...he heard----

"Your highness I am trying my best. Please believe me..."

"..."

"Your Highness it is difficult for me to do something without getting into notice. She is always surrounded by those two vampires and her stupid friends..."

"..."

"No no please...please trust me...give me one last chance... This time you will not be disappointed."

"..."

"Yes yes I will make sure of it...I will do anything to complete my mission."

"..."

"Thank you your Highness"

The call was ended.

Adhiraj was so much in shock hearing all this. Before he could recover from shock at look for that person he had disappeared. He was sure that person was talking about Piya only. "God this is all becoming so so... No I have to do something before its too late..."
