I Will Never Be Yours

Chapter 44

'He won't hate me... He'll understand one day... ' Arjun said

'That's what he thought for Aayan too... And you saw what Aayan turned out to be like... Had Ananya not been there, the guy would've hated him till now... ' Sid said and Jai nodded

Arjun just sighed at this...

'See we know, you love all your kids equally, but you loved Vansh more, everyone saw that... He was the first one among the twins you held in your arms, damn it... ' Jai said and Arjun smiled remembering his son's birth day...

'Will you tell us now, why were you so hard on him 2 years back...?' Sid asked

Arjun took a deep breath

'He was not serious about his career...' Arjun said

'That's not true... ' Jai said

'It is true... When he came back from London, he was not worried about getting a job at all... ' Arjun said

'I thought you didn't like his cinematography career... ' Sid said

'See, I didn't stop him from pursuing his graduation in a film school, because I knew it was his passion, had I been against his cinematography career... Would I let him to study that...? I would've admitted him to a business school like Ved... ' Arjun explained

'So when did the problem start...?' Jai asked

'One day I heard him talking to Naina, he said that it's okay, if he doesn't earn at all, he'll ask money from Ved and also I will leave some fortunes for him, he will survive on that...' Arjun sighed worried

'He was joking Arjun... Naina told me...' Sid said

'He may be joking sid, but that actually worried me... I could sleep for so many nights... ' Arjun sighed

'I am not worried for Ananya, she was always clear that she wants to be a lawyer... And she will be, I know that...
Ved was never very expressive, but he showed interest in E market affairs, I was happy to see that, atleast one of my kid will join it...
But Vansh, he was always a confused kid, sometimes he said he wants to be a cricketer, I made him join cricket academy... He left that within six months, He said he wants to make a career in football, I searched for India's best academy and sent him there.... He came back in 3 months... Then adventure sports, he left it in 6 weeks ! Then photography...
It was fine when he was a kid, but even at Ananya's age he was not clear what to do with life... It worried me man...  What will he do after me...? I don't want him to be dependent on Ved... ' he sighed

'But why always discourage him man, there are other ways to explain too... ' Sid said

'Vansh is a different kid bro, he is not serious like Ved or Aayan, whenever I tried to tell him that concentrate on his career or exams, he would take it as a joke.... And I never liked scolding him... I thought with age, he will understand, but no... He was still a kid by heart... I had to be harsh on him... ' Arjun replied

Jai and Sid just nodded...

'Comparing Ved and Vansh always killed me inside... Both are mine, I can't be partial with one and ignore other... I had no other way to fuel the anger inside Vansh... I had to make him angry...  You don't know how hard it was to see his disappointed face, whenever I said something to him.... ' Arjun wiped his tears...

'And you see, Ved and Vansh are not in talking terms right now, I don't know what happened,  if Vansh wouldn't have started with his new work, after leaving the house, he was bound to obey Ved, I don't want my son to be submissive to anybody, not even his own brother...' he said
