Author's POV
"Why itchh (it's) Diwali??" Kshitij asked, tip-toing on the kitchen counter
Maria chuckle while arranging the glasses as Meera sighed at his constant and full of curiosity questions
"Cause Ram Ji, came to his home after killing the Demon King; Ravana, after 14 long years." Ragini answered
"Why he.... ki...ll Ra... Rav....ana?" He question after taking the full name of the Demon King correctly
"Cause he's bad and Ram Ji was good men, the Hero." Maria answered as he nods on it saying just, "Ohhh!!"
"Ram Ji, Superl-Helo (Super-Hero)?? Like, BatMan." Meera laugh on his exciting face as she nodded on it
"Why R--Ram Ji, live in Jungle?? Ich (Is) he, Tarl--zan (Tarzan)??" When he asked again, the three ladies heard a chores of laughter together, they turned to see, Priya, Mrs. Sahay, Jyotika and Mrs. Khurana, standing on the door-step of the kitchen
"You three are having fun with him, huh?!" Priya chuckle and came inside, Kshitij pout thinking they're laughing at him
"Ram Ji, is not any Tarzan but he went to Jungle..... to help others." Jyothika answered as he nods again
"Why Ram Ji, help??" He asked
"Cause he's a God." Priya said. "Whi--cch (which) God??" He asked in a same beat as all sighed
"Vishnu, The Protector of the world." Jyothika said again, as he made a 'O' shape
"KJ!" He chirped happily, as Meera nods but Priya and others frown
"KJ??" Ragini asked, "Kanha Ji." Maria chuckle saying, as all can't help but laugh
Before Kshitij could ask any more questions, Maria gave him a laddu. (The Indian sweet dish)
"Is it Yummy??" Ragini asked as he nods energetically. Something came in his mind and he ran out.
"Careful!" Meera called out, but he's already out from her sight
"The interiors are really good, Mrs. Mahajan." Mrs. Khurana said as Meera smile saying, "I'm glad you like it and call me by my name, please." Mrs. Khurana swiftly nods on it
"Ishana, used to visit our house in weekends with everyone. And let me tell you, she's the sweetest one of them and just like Paras, who loves to eat." Mrs. Khurana said as all the ladies burst in laugh
"Exactly! Yuvi, Abhi and other kids, they get to behave like such a matured and adult when they pass out from schools. Pretending to be the most mature one. It's sometimes irritated me seeing Yuvi. When they don't know how to iron their clothes." Mrs. Sahay snorts as all giggle
"So True! Specially, Abhi and Rohan. But I liked your daughter from the first meet itself, the way she threaten Pratap, it's awesome. I never saw him, to compromise infront of everyone." Jyothika said as all smiled
"Oh, yes!! I heard that from Rohan, once." Priya chuckle as Meera sighed, with sadness
Maria and Ragini patted Meera's shoulder softly as she smiled. "She's just a blunt and I can't blame her, she went after the men of this house." She chuckle saying it
"Specially, her father and big brother. When, Krish don't like anyone, he ignored them, like there's no-one, infront of him. If he hates something to do, he won't do but sometimes he does cause of me or others." Ragini chuckle knowingly
"But Ishana is little adamant and stubborn. When she don't like someone, she don't pretend to be sweet, she's blunt and no-one can make her do that but if she likes someone and he or she gets related with her in some personal things, then she'll do everything to protect them." Meera shrug
"I don't blame her to behave like that. Cause, all her childhood, she used to stay with Maria and Sumit, as Raj Ji and I..... Her whole worlds revolve around her family, specially her brothers and Bu....." She suddenly stopped when Maria put a hand over Meera's shoulder
"You mean, Krish and Kunal??" Jyothika smile as Meera nods "Even, Yug, he's the only friend, she have."
"Why???" Priya frown laying down the small bowls on a tray
"Why?? Say, who. Cause of Krish and Kunal's wrath, no other boys dared to stand beside her in school or in neighbourhood." Ragini snort
"And, girls..... Well, you know, how girls are in teenage days. All talks about, Actors, boyfriends, feelings and those natural things used to bored my lovely daughter." Meera laugh shortly as other ladies joined too
"Yes. After coming home, back from school, she used to tell me and Meera DI, on the call, we just used to laugh." Maria laugh again, as she added "Her life is around her brothers, and basketball." She sighed as all nods in understanding
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
"Hey, Champ!" Kshitij stopped running and look up, tilting his head back when someone call him
"What you have, in your hand?" Akshu question concerned-ly
"I will not give you." He hide his fisted hand at back, with pouting lips
"Fine! Don't give anyone but don't eat anything okay!" Krish said as he nods and ran outside
"VB." He called seeing Ishana seating near the fountain as he huff standing infront of her
"What happened?? Hm?" Ishana bring him near her and make him seat beside as he chuckle seeing the water sprinting over the fountain and falling down
Ishana smile at his happy self as he turned at her and open his small fist. "Seno-lita makes it. It yummy." He smiled widely
"You bring it for me??" Ishana look at him as he nods earnestly, her heart swoons cause of his little care
"Thankyou, my baby." She chuckle and kissed his cheeks as he giggle
She took a small bite and let him eat the rest. He ate the laddoo, happily.
Rohan came out of the Mansion with Arshi, Abhi and Yuvi, as he saw both Mother-son duo happily enjoying eachother company
As Kshitij wriggle a little when Ishana tickle his belly. She kissed his cheeks as he let out a series of giggles
"Here." Ishana pointed at her cheek as they boy kissed her with a kissing sound "Muah!"
Rohan's lips twitched badly, he look at Kshitij with a hard gaze. Did he kiss his Sweetheart?
He has to think and use of various tricks to get close to her and this little brat is getting free kisses and giving kisses. He needs Justice. Where he should go and sign for the case of injustice??
"Let's go and ask Yuvi's father.", He heard his subconscious mind mock him
He can't helped but feel jealous of Kshitij. That little brat is cuddling on the arms of his girl and here he needs to do so much hardwork to bring her close to him.
"Why you're glaring them??" Arshi slapped his arm as he snort but kept staring the both Mother-Son duo
"Nothing!" He muttered back afterwards, as he saw Ishana coming towards them with Kshitij in her arms
"Aren't you hungry??" She tickle his stomach softly as the boy giggle softly wriggling a little
Inside the Mansion, Krish look around, in search of someone, specific. He noticed her, standing under the shed, outside with her brother
He sighed, and took out his phone and typed a message to her saying,
'I want to talk with you.'
He look at her to see, Arshi look down at her phone but ignored it. Krish clenched his jaw
'Don't ignore me. I want to talk with you, NOW.' He typed back but Arshi didn't even spare a glance at her phone, this time
"This girl." He huff and make a face "Let's go inside." Krish's attention fall on Ishana who's coming inside with Kshitij
"Came inside. So soon." He poked Kshitij on belly as he huff "Dad was outside with others, and it's getting cold outside so Dad said to come inside." Krish nods
"Hey, Champ. Wanna burst crackers?" Kunal asked as Kshitij nods happily "Come." He jumped over Kunal as he went outside again
"Ishu, Come." Ishika hold her hand but she shook her head "I'm fine here. You go!" Ishika sighed and said "Do you still, don't like crackers."
Ishana just step back silently as others walk outside. She stood at the door step silently as she saw Kunal hold Kshitij's hand and carefully light a peony firework
They both came back as it shoot towards the sky and after reaching a maximum height it burst, creating a beautiful, multi-coloured, globe-shape display.
Kshitij shriek happily as others chuckle seeing him. He look at Ishana, who smile back at him, happily
Krish let him hold a sparklers as the boy smile at him. "Do you want to see fountain?" Rohan asked as he nods excitedly
Rohan place a fountain firework on the ground and hold his hand and lighten the firework with the help of the lighting sparkler
Soon he back step, taking Kshitij with him, as Kshitij got awwed seeing it releasing alot of sparklers around it.
"Woooooowww!!!" He gushed cutely, as Arshi laugh on it
After a few time passed, Meera called everyone inside as little Kshitij sulked for a time being but didn't said anything on it Ishika pulled his cheek as he scowl angrily at her.
"Why you're standing here??" Raj asked his daughter as Ishana shook her head on it
"Nothing. Just not feeling like to go there." She said with a small frown as Raj chuckle
"I also don't like, crackers. It's so noisy." Raj crunched his nose as Ishana chuckle on it
"I'm your daughter, na!" Ishana stated in a cool tone as Raj laugh on it while nodding his head
"Dad, doesn't Abhi looks like Pratap Uncle??" Ishana asked softly
"Hmm! But he's nothing like his father." Raj hushed a sound after saying
"Why Pratap Uncle is so strict, just cause he hailed from a ROYAL family??" Ishana look at her father
"Maybe. Maybe not. I once met his father once, when I just started my career. He doesn't look like Pratap." Raj shrug and look at his daughter
"Maybe his mother was." Ishana joke as both father-daughter duo shared a laugh
Both of them stopped laughing feeling so many gazes on them, they look ahead to see everyone is looking at them
"What happened??" Both Meera and Vijendra asked in a same time
"Nothing!" Both father-daughter replied back dryly as Vijendra frown at them but decided to not say anything
"Hii!!!" Yug placed his hand on her shoulder, standing on her support
Ishana scowl and swiftly move aside as Yug stumble "Hey!!" He snort
Raj chuckle when Ishana pass a mocking smile to Yug, as he leave the place leaving them to continue their banter. "Ishana there's someone came to meet you." Sarika walk towards them
"Me!?" Ishana pointed at herself as Sarika nodded. "Who can it be??" She mumbled but walk to meet
She came down stairs from the front porch and saw a man's back at her, wearing a navy blue suit, talking with her father and Uncle
Others just around the garden either enjoying or talking in themselves. She cleared her throat as they both turned towards them, she smile seeing Vikram.
"Hey, beautiful lady." Ishana smile at him as Vikram walk towards her. "Happy Diwali." He hugged her sidely as she wished him back too
"Congrats, on opening of new branch over here." He wished her as she grin on it saying a sweet "Thankyou."
They broke the short hug as she asked, "When did you came back??"
"Just today afternoon. I can't miss it when you invite me tonight. Now, can I??" Ishana chuckle shooking her head on his words
"Now who's this new character??" Rohan huffed from afar as he can see the side profile of the man's
"Her Business partner. Let's go." Abhi pulled him with himself
Krish too came and stood beside Ishana with narrowed gaze as Vikram look at him. "Hey. Glad I meet you, after that meeting." Vikram forwarded his hand for a shake
Krish nods with a smile on his face but Kunal can tell it's totally fake as he himself stood there
"Who's he??" Yug asked standing beside him "Vikram. Vikram Sehgal." Kunal said with a scoff
"Vikram?? This name??? It's seems familiar to me." Yug muttered after a second with a frown
"Glad you see me." Krish said as Ishana look at him with narrowed gaze as she smile and said "Bhai, is very funny." She tapped on her brother's shoulder
Krish frown but the smile intact on his face, even after when his sister slapped on his shoulder tightly, he turned and glare her but got the same intensity glare in return
Raj saw the closeness between Vikram and Ishana and said, "Vikram, why don't you take a sit??"
Vikram nodded and took a seat on the bamboo couch set in the garden
Ishana nodded and took a seat beside her father too, as they both started to talk but both Raj and Krish huff under their breath
In all between these Vikram present a gift to Ishana. "There was a no need of all these, Vikram." Ishana said as she took the box from him
Though she said it, she liked that she got a gift. Extra gift on Diwali. Oh, Yes!
"Oh yes! There was no need for it!" Her father retrot grumpily as he looked at the expensive watch with bracelet
"Oh, it's nothing uncle." Vikram shook his head "Did you like it??" He turned to Ishana
"It's beautiful!" Ishana smile tracing the watch. "What's there it's beautiful. Its just a watch." Krish grumble under his breath
Ishana spank his arm lightly as she smile at Vikram. "Why don't you try it once??" Vikram said
"Sure." Ishana
"She can try it later on." Ishana startled and look at her father and brother back and forth same goes to Vikram too
Cause, Both Krish and Raj, opposed in unison. Yug stiffle a laugh and looked ahead at the scene
"Exactly!!" Kunal added, Ishana gasp as how they sounded so rude. What's wrong with them?? Vikram is her invited guest, for god sake.
She helplessly sighed just then her mother came as an Angel for what, exactly that she is and she proven it today.
"Come everyone the dinner is ready. Ishana, come ba--" She stopped when her gaze landed on Vikram seating there clueless-ly
She asked Ishana about who he is as she introduced him. After knowing about him, she invited him for dinner, which makes Rohan to frown badly
He just can't bear all this. He huff in anger.
"Thankyou so much, Aunty. But Sorry, I can't stay. I've to go home. My mother must be waiting for me and she won't have dinner, till I don't reach." Vikram declined the offer gently with a smile
"Ohhh!" Meera sighed. "But don't worry, I'll come one day specially, to have food made by your beautiful hands." Vikram gushed
Raj's eyes narrowed down dangerous-ly at him. Was this punk flirting with his wife?! Balls of him.
Ishana clear her throat, seeing her father's deadly gaze as she decided interfere "That's so sweet of you." She smiled sweetly but it infuriates Rohan's mood more
"I'll take my leave then." Vikram said as Meera stops him as she turned to leave but stop seeing Maria herself coming there way
"Here take this with you." Maria said passing a sweet box towards him as Meera nodded
"It's not needed, Aunty." Vikram tried to decline it "Exactly, Aunty. Look at him, such a concious freak, he's on diet." Rohan comment
"Right. So true!!" Kunal agreed with him as he got a glare from his mother, which shuts his mouth
Ishana cracked up on it as Kunal pass her a mean look. "Vikram!!" All turned to see, Arshi standing there with a knowing look
Ishana and Krish turned at Vikram to see him frowning too. "Um.... A-- Arshi. Arshi Sinha."
"Exactly! I am. What you're doing here??" Arshi chuckle at him as it's raised Ishana's brows
This time Rohan came and stood beside his Sister as Ashutosh, who's till now seating at another set couches with others and having fun seeing Raj's behaviour get all alert seeing his own daughter, knowing the unknown man
"I'm Ishana's Partner." Vikram said
"Business Partner." Raj retrot in a beat as Vikram nods, gulping a lump seeing the murderous glare as Ishana mentally roll her eyes on it
"DI, how you know him??" Rohan asked with an irritating frown
"He's my Senior. One year hardly. Vikram Sehgal. You don't remember him??" Arshi said and look at her brother asking
"No-one is so sharp like you, Ms. Sinha. To remember each and everyone you meet." That's a taunt from Krish as Arshi turned at him
Yug's brows raised, hearing Krish's taunt, he suddenly got more interested after seeing the amused expression Kunal and Ishana passing to him
"Yes. I guess it's a boon to me. That I remember the person and the communications too, even if I meet him or her for once in my lifetime." Arshi taunt back emphazing the word 'him' as Krish sulked on it
"Wowww!! Really?? That's awesome." Ishana gushed as it's work like salt on Krish's mood
Arshi smile at her and nods, "Hmm! But sometime it's suffocating, if I want to forget that communication and mostly the person." Arshi stated looking down with a sigh again emphazing the word 'person'
Ishana clear her throat seeing her brother's sad expression after it as he just clenched his jaw and gulp thoroughly.
She must be having fun till now, seeing her brother getting Jealous but now she's hurt seeing her brother's sad expression.
No matter what, she can't deny the fact that she can't see any of his brother hurt or sad, she loves them, to the infinity.
'But they doesn't need to know that, hmph!', She thought and make a face mentally
"Ohh! That's great thing. Then, Vikram you must stay." She just said as a part of formality
Vikram shook his head, "I'm Sorry. But I can't. And, Aunty it's not needed." He declined again
"Nonsense! You're my Ishana's Business Partner and helped her in so many things in business, how can I let you go back empty hand." Meera said with her beautiful smile as Ishana nodded to too but she saw Raj and Krish rolled their eyes
After few minutes later, Vikram left wishing them again but what annoys Krish and Rohan more is, he said Arshi to meet sometime later to catch up, and shared their old school-memories.
"Do hell with old memories!" Krish grumble under his teeth and glare the green grass of the garden
If could possible the grasses will turned into ashes there only in the way he's glaring it, furiously.
"He's such a sweet boy." Meera gushed as soon as his car left the Mansion premises
"Yes. He is." Both Arshi and Ishana stated with a nod and smile
"No. He's not." Raj, Rohan and Krish shouted in unison as Meera look at them with a frown, her smile disappear
"What?? Why?? He's such a decent boy with full of manners and respect. And also, loves his mother so much." Meera barked at both of them as Ishana grin silently
"And why you don't like him??" Arshi turned towards her brother
"He's chipku like chipkali. (He's clingy like a lizard.)" Rohan grumble and walk straight towards the door of Mansion as Arshi gasp
'He's clingy cause, he's clinging to my Sister and my girl. How irritating.', Rohan thought while walking
"I don't like him." Krish grumble coldly and walk towards the Mansion as Meera snort at her Son
'Why should I like him, He's flirting with my Sister and this Ms. Aafat, at a same time. That Annoying Punk', Krish snort in the thought
Meera turned towards Raj for the answer as his lip's corner twitched and he snort and left silently
'What is in him to even like, that his Wife and Daughter liked him so much?', Raj make a face that he drink ten bitter-gourd juice in once
"Sometime having Over-protective brothers is painful." Mrs. Sahay stated as other ladies in the house, chuckle
"Uncle is right. What's their to even like in this gift, it's just a normal watch." Kunal took the box from Ishana who gasp
"Hey, give that back." She shouted at him
"We won't." Yug chimed in, who's silent till now as Kunal throws the box towards him which he catched at the right moment
"Hey! I'm warning you both. Give it to me." Ishana glare them as they scowl
She whinned "Sumit Uncle." She stomped her legs in anger as Sumit slapped both of their heads as both boys winced
"Stop pulling her leg." With Sumit's swift roar voice Kunal give the box back to her as she laugh on his expression
"Such a stingy for a watch." Yug tsked as Ishana narrowed down her eyes at him
"You three don't comment on the gift, Where's my gift on Diwali, huh?!" She turned at both of them then turn towards Krish
"Didn't you said, I please to quote, "I'm not a kid, I don't want any Gifts, I'm not a kid anymore." Five years ago at your birthday." Yug complete with special effect trying to mimic her exact words
Kunal laugh on it with others as the former shared a hi-fi with Yug. Ishana fake smile at Yug then in a swift she turned and throws a fork at him but it get caught in mid air by Yug
"Woah! Cool." Saaransh whistle softly
"What? Cool. I can also do this, huh!?" Ishana scoff
"Sure. Sure." Yug roll his eyes
"Come for Dinner." Ragini called as Ishana snort at Yug "Why sudden topic of gift arise??" Vijendra asked taking a head chair as Raj seat beside him as it's a double head-seat chair
"Classy decor." Paras smile at Meera who chuckle back
"This Daroga is a cheater, Dadu." Ishana pointed at Yug, who scowl opposing "don't call me that"
(Daroga:- Constable)
Raj and Vijendra laugh on the name as Rohan too grin on it as others laugh "I didn't said him about the gift, he's the one who's signing, 'I've a surprise for you'." She snort
"Hey, where's it??? I want it now!" She demanded from Yug.
"I'll still say, my surprise is the best one." He retrot as Ishana roll her eyes at him
"I'll seat here." Ishana turned to see Akshu's stated
"No. I seat hele. (Here)" Kshitij shouted on her
"No." Akshu denied
"Yes." Kshitij huff, as his cheeks puffed up
"No." Akshu frown
"Yes." His face masked with anger as Kunal look back and forth fully amused
"VB." Kshitij called looking at Ishana with a pout
"Ishana." Akshu too copied him as the boy turned and glare at her. "I'm not scared of your small eyes." Akshu snapp at him
"Gandi. (Bad.)" He slapped her hand as Krish chuckle as Akshu too can't help but laugh
Kshitij whin with a crying face seeing everyone laughing at him, he look at Akshu who's busy in laughing at him
He silently sit on the chair beside Ishana and grin at his mother. "Idiot! Stop laughing, and see, he took your sit." Yug said with a scowl
Akshu frown looking at Kshitij who fish-out his tongue and make funny faces and teased her
"I'll take out your tongue." Akshu snort but got a look from Ishana, as she retrot calmly "Sit down, silently."
*************
After the dinner came the desserts for everyone as it's serving duty came on Ishana and Akshu's department
Ishana stopped in mid seeing Rohan chuckling seeing her sulking face as she rolled her eyes and put the bowl infront of him on the table
Rohan frown at her openly, as he saw her minute back to pass desserts everyone with a sweet smile and on his case he got a rotten face
Where he should go to complain about this partiality??
"VB." Rohan groan as Abhi laugh on it as Ishana didn't take nano second to walk towards Kshitij
"He's really a brat!" He grumble and fisted a spoon-full of kheer
"Ahhh!!!" Kshitij shouted whinning, when Kunal ate the kheer from Ishana's hand which she actually made for him
"Psst." Ishana groan on Kunal's childish acts
"You...." Kshitij look at him sadly and sniffed as Kunal got alert
"No. Don't dare to cry." He said in a warning tone as Ishana chuckle
"It's okay! You come with me." Krish came towards Kshitij. His mood is sour cause of Arshi and her comments as he need a break from seeing her face, which he's watching from last 3 hours, constant
And, he'll need to see it more from now. Just from tomorrow everyone will start preparing for Akshu's engagement
God is cruel.
"I go out." Kshitij look at Krish but before Krish could say him Ishana interupt saying "No. It's cold outside. He'll again get fever."
Kshitij whinned looking at Krish. Krish sighed as he look at Ishana and blink assuring-ly "Fine! We'll see the whole house again. Come." He said and turned around
Kshitij sulk a little but nonetheless agreed with a accepting face as if, the Little boy also understood that there's no one more stubborn than his mother.
His pitiful life!!
He hopped on Krish's back and wrapped his little arms around his neck as both went to take a tour of the house again.
"You're such a stubborn." Vish grumble looking at Ishana
"I take it as a compliment." She sassed as Arshi chuckle with a unbelievable look
"Ohhh!!!" Akshu heard a slight gasp and turned around to see a women entering into the hall with Yug
She's all in her mother's age as she saw her Aunty and Mom, are beaming in happiness seeing her but no-one uttered a word from their mouth
She look at Yug, who said her move aside silently as he signed him to stay quiet
"Akshu, what about this gown??" Ishana asked looking at the design book of her own company
Suddenly Ishana felt someone covered her eyes from back with both hands. She's going to take Kshitij's name but realised the hands are big enough compared to his baby boy. She rummaged her hand more on the person's hand as she confirmed it's a lady's hand
Her hand stopped and a wide smile crept on her face lifting her lips upward in a smile as she chirped "Nandhini Aunty." Nandhini frown and remove her hand as Ishana turned around and chuckle
"How you get to know it's me?" Nandhini questions as Ishana grin pointing at her bracelet which has it's initial "N" on it. "hmm. smart." She chuckle and pulled her in a hug
"My favourite child. I saw you after so many years." She muttered tightening the hug as Ishana rubbed her back."I missed you, also." she said muttered as Nandhini chuckle softly, breaking the hug
"Aunty, Say that again." Ishana said as Nandhini frown asking "What?"
"What I'm??" She pointed at herself as Nandhini laugh softly as she saw her Son roll his eyes on Ishana
"Ms. Humpty-Dumpty." Yug spatt as all present their either laugh or chuckle as Ishana glare him with an intenion of mudering him. "No. she's not. She's the favourite child." Nandhini opposed and glare her son who twitched his lips in return
"Did you heard?? Did you heard?" She poke Yug who spatt blankly "I'm not deaf." She slapped his head and stepped away before Yug could make a move "Inked it down on your brain." She pointed at him
"Look, I'm wearing Mom's Saree." She smile at Nandhini as she scanned Ishana up to down and sighed
"Yes. You're looking pretty in your mother's Saree." She added with a nod "Mom, was speckitcal about me wearing it, though." She whispered as Nandhini chuckle on it as Meera frown at them
"Hey, Akshu." Nandhini caressed her head as she smile polietly. "Mom, tells me many stories about you, you're Mom and Meera Aunty's high-school friend, na." Akshu smile at her as Nandhini nods
"It's very good feeling finally seeing you after decades." She patted her cheek as Akshu smile
"Priya, She's Nandhini; Yug's mother as you all heard our old and good friend too." Ragini introduced her to everyone as again the elders get busy in themselves.
"One more point get deducted." Paras muttered looking at his left, at Rohan "And, one point added into his account." Abhi muttered looking at his right, at Rohan.
"And, there mothers are friends too." Sarika stated "Ishu looks quite close to her and she loves her more or less than Yug. the more chance looks quite enough." Vish added
"What you'll do now, Rohan??" Ishika question turning at him as all of them sighed except Rohan, who's constantly staring at Ishana and Yug, who were busy in hand fighting
"By hook or crook, I'm not backing out." He muttered as all look at him with their large, big eyes; all shocked.
"Ishu!" Krish called coming towards them with Kshitij on his back as he sighed and said "He slept. take him to room." He turned as Ishana smile seeing Kshitij sleeping peacefully on Krish's back
"Sure." She carefully and silently took him in his arm as Kshitij frown in his sleep as Ishana patted him back to his slumber
"I'm taking him upstairs." She smile at Krish and left for upstairs but not before slapping one last time at Yug's back
"Gosh, this girl." Yug rubbed his back with a frown face as Krish noticed Nandhini and hugged her
"Umm.... He already slept. Tsk!" Nandhini sighed seeing Ishana taking the sleeping bot to her room
"Why you came so late??" Krish question "I was coming, but there's an emergency came up in the hospital, where I went to visit." She shrugged
Rohan notice his mother get connected with Nandhini preety soon maybe cause of the same profession.
Ishana smile after she tucked Kshitij to bed changing his dress as she caressed his hairs and place a gentle kiss on his forehead and cheeks she put pillows around him, so that he don't come towards the edge of the bed, in his sleep
She herself change into something traditional and comfortable one. Ishana look at her phone seeing Tia calling her, tonight that too at a time like this.
"Yes?" She answered. "Mam, there's something, I need to tell you." She said in a dead serious tone
"Speak!!!" She stood straight to listen. The more time she listened her, the more Ishana get angry on it.
"Are you sure??" Ishana ask "Yes. 100%, Mam." She answered as Ishana sighed
Ishana ended the call without saying anything as her jaw clenched in anger. She walk downstairs and saw Rohan on a call
She walk ahead and look around to see everyone busy in there company as she grabbed Rohan's hand, who turned back at her with a confusion framed his face
"Come with me." Her voice has a trace of anger
"Huh?!" He responded, but before he could say anything she dragged him inside
"Hey, Where you're dragging me to? God, how can a girl can be so strong???" Rohan grunted as Ishana pushed him forcibly in a room and close the door behind her and twisted the knob
"Uh-huh??! Hey, Wh-- What??? What a--are you trying to do, huh?! Look, you can't do anything like that okay??" He back-off, covering his chest but Ishana doesn't look in any mood of his nonsense joke
Rohan notice her behaviour and frown more. "You.... Why you did that???" She marched towards him
"What I did? You're the one, who kicked me half an hour ago, did you forget it??" He question
"Com'on Sweetheart. If you want to come closer and spend some time with me, then say it bravely." Rohan smile at her as her gaze hardened
His smile stiffen as he sighed and ask "What happened?? Now what I did??"
"How dare you??? How can you do this, huh?! You know.... I'm under such a pressure, to complete my designs. And, behind my back, you're ruining my efforts." She spatt angrily
"You went... And meet Mr. Gujral and what the hell, you said him?? Just answer me. Dare you denied? I've enough things to prove it." Her eyes blazed in anger and look like pool of molten lava
He sighed, "I did. There's nothing to deny, but I didn't thought, you'll get to know about it, so soon." He confessed as Ishana's hands clenched tightly
"But... It's not my total fault. You also know, Sinha's are the best in this line and no.1 in market but just to avoid me, you went to Gujral's, not even to my competitor, huh?! Why? Are you concerned that they'll surpass US and make profits??" He arched his brow and smirked
"I'm touched seeing your concern and love for me, Sweetheart." He placed his hand over his heart and said huskily with soft expressions
Ishana blinked for a second seeing his face then suddenly scowl "Concern?? Love?? For you? You wish. What makes your expectations so high, huh?!" She spatt angrily
"There is only one reason, why I don't want to accept the offer. It's just.... I don't want to stay connected with you, either be it's personal or professional." She intake a sharp breath after saying that
Rohan chuckle humorously "Why?? Are you afraid that you'll again gets to used to me?? Or more than that, started to like me. Which one, huh!?!" Was all he said, but Ishana stiffen on the last statement
She feel it's a mock for her. She knows he's right on it, but it's hurt her self-respect and pride, her pride didn't let her to accept it.
She look up to realise now he's standing closer to her. "Answer me. Do you feel weak around me. That'swhy you're so desperate to chase me away. Isn't it???" He took a step more closer to her
Ishana don't know what came upto her but she pushed him away as her jaw clenched in anger. Rohan stumbled back, not prepared for the sudden move "You're really a narcissistic, huh?!" Her eyes moisten as she chuckle
"Do you really think, I'll do something like that huh?!!? You know why, I said you to stay away from my family. Cause, you really hold a great power to manipulate peoples.
You did that, which no-one can do or have guts to do. You broke the relation between me and Akshu. And guess what, my sister to choose you over me, forgetting everything. Our bond, my love for her, my sacrifices for her. She only remembered you.... Just you as her friend and abandoned me." Tears rolled down her eyes as Rohan sighed
"I never did it deliberately and I cleared that long back. I know, whatever I said, it's wrong, I shouldn't have said that. I regret it and I'll keep regretting till my last breath even if you forgive me or not." Rohan shouted
She grabbed his kurta's collar and glare him sharply "Do you have any sort of idea, how much this all launches are important to me. You don't.... Do you know how big crisis and losses I've to face cause of your immaturity. I can't believe you can behave like this." She gritted her teeth as Rohan placed his hands over her, which fisting his collar
"I know, I'm Sorry but I just want you to join US, you also know that, we're better than Gujral's but you're not coming cause of your stubbornness. You say, What other options I've, expect it. I feel it's the right option." Rohan said her calmly with soft expression, thinking maybe she understand him
But Ishana's too mad to understand anything and if it's Rohan, then she'll kill him before letting him say anything
"Fuck it, whatever you feel. I'm not going to forgive you, ever. Am I clear, to you?? Do not come in my way, each and everytime." She jerked him away as Rohan gulp a lump in silence
"Idiot!!" Rohan's jaw clenched tightly as in snap he grabbed her hands and pulled her back into his embrace and twisted his violent hand at her back
Ishana's front slightly arched back cause of her position as she blinked in surprise "What I said you about using cursing words, Sweetheart??" He muttered in deadly voice as Ishana stiffen slightly hearing his tone
"Do you think I care?" She snort after a moment as Rohan make her stilled in his arms as she glare him
"You'll care. Soon enough. You'll." He muttered closer to her ear as Ishana gritted her teeth
Ishana rummage her hand around slowly as she suddenly smile at him. "Surely, I'll do." She smiled further but Rohan frown at her smile
She raised her free hand as Rohan's eyes widen seeing the small colourful dust broom in her hand "Do you want to see, how??" She smile at him
Rohan's stomach twisted with a bad feeling. "You can't be serious. You... You'll... Are you planning to....??" He took few steps back immediately with a pale face he keep looking at her face and the broom, back and forth
"Yes. I'm going to beat you to the shit. So that, you don't come in my way, ever again." She said and make a first hit as Rohan jump backward
"Hey, no! Sweetheart, please. Ahhh!!" He hissed when he got a hit
"Don't call me that." She glared him and again make an attempt as Rohan move aside
Before she could again hit him Paras and Abhi entered in the room. "Hey, what are you doing?? Ishu. Stop." Abhi hold her hand and pulled aside as their other friends entered in the room and locked the door
"Calm down. What he did?? Why you're beating him??" Yuvi question
"Ask him, what he did, not to me." She spatt angrily
"Rohan, now what??" Sarika sighed looking at him, irritated-ly
"I... Actually." He sighed scratching his head "He went to meet Gujral's after I almost strike a deal and says them, not to get convinced so easily. The guts of him." Ishana angrily took a step as Akshu came in between but Rohan roll his eyes
"So what?? I'm not feeling guilty." He snort as Ishana pointed the broom at him as he scowl rubbing the spot he got hitted
"I'm not scared of this shit, anymore." He pulled it from her hand and throw it away
"You...." She took another step as Rohan softly push Akshu aside as he pulled Ishana closer, startling everyone and her too
"What? You want to come closer to me? Then, come properly." Saaransh slapped his forehead after hearing Rohan's words
"Listen me carefully, I won't let you do anything wrong in fit of your stubbornness. Maybe, I'm not so much stubborn like you but I will make sure to stop your stubbornness when it required." Rohan muttered
"What you're doing? Leave me. Abhi, say him to stay away from me." Ishana smack on his shoulder
Abhi snort saying, "Ishu, don't call me at a situation like this."
"Rohan, leave her." Akshu slapped Rohan's back "Rohan." Akshu warned him as he lossened his hold over her
Ishana glare him and turned to Akshu "Say him not to come in my way, for heaven's sake. First, he had problems with me, involving with you all. This time, I'm not interfering in it."
"I never said that." Rohan opposed "But you thought, didn't you. Atleast, don't lie for now. This time I'm saying you openly, Don't come behind me and don't interfere in it, okay!" Ishana spatt angrily
"I can't fight with you everytime, So please." She muttered helplessly and walk out of the room
