Author's POV
Outside Mansion.
"Or..... She's DEAD." In snap, Yug dragged him by his collar as all startled.
"Don't you think, you're spouting too much nonsense??" He growled as all shriek at his tone
The guards, helped Kunal as they bring Yug back to his place. "Why you're acting so violent? Is there any daughter you have, Mr. RR?? Or she's truly Dead?? What relationship you share with Mahajan's, ACP Samarth?" He provoke him again
"You hit me. You broke the law, when you're ACP, yourself." The reporter spatt
"Just shut the fuck up! Don't provoke me to kick you out of this place." All look at Akshu, who stepped in between the reporter and Yug
She glared him. "He's my family. Dare you threaten him." She sneered at the reporter
"He did right. If I've any cousin or not that my and my families concern. None of your business." She spatt as she stepped a little closer
"I very well know. Parekh's sends you here, isn't it? Say a word again, I myself dig you alive." She muttered a stepped back with a firm glare to everyone
"You just wait for my notice. You came here and harassed my family. You just wait and see. I'll show you, your end." She openly threaten as the man gulp, he never expect this, the meak Akshu to become a wild protecter of her family
"Guards. Throw this shit out." She ordered as guards appears in instant and dragged him out
"You're okay?" Akshu turned towards Yug who nods with a smile.
"It's a happy day for me and everyone present here in our family but you guys, truly make our mood sour. Thank you everyone. Now please, excuse US and please leave now. Have a nice evening." Yuvi almost spatt as they all turned and walk towards the out house
"Now I understand why Krish Bhaiya said me to use the whole out house instead of the living room." Vish said and sighed as Paras nods
"I just hope, Ishu didn't saw the news." Ishika muttered. "His comment is so absurd, even my blood boiled hearing him." Saaransh said as his eyes land in Yug who's looking around with Kunal
"Yug got so angry. For a second, I thought, he'll kill that man." Saaransh said looking at Yug as he look back at his friends who just nod
"Where's Rohan??" Abhi asked suddenly as Sarika pointed towards the door of the outhouse from where he entered with Arshi
"Where were you??" Paras question. Rohan scratch his neck with a stupid smile and shrug. "I forgot my phone so went to fetch it." He lie straight through his teeth, without wavering in his tone
Abhi nods as he saw the girls walk towards the small stage towards the Main Couple of tonight
"Let's have drinks." Saaransh said as he pick a flute of sparkling red wine from the tray the waiter holding and others follow picking up their choice of drinks
"Saaransh." Kunal walk towards them as all look at him. Yug joined them too. "Just keep an eye and inform me when Oberoi's come." Kunal added
"Huh?!" Saaransh respond blankly. "Ishu, said US to tell you." Yug added further. Saaransh smile hearing it as he shows a thumb up to them
After Kunal's nod, the silence fell around the group. "You okay?!" Paras question intend towards Yug
Yug frown. "What happened to me?" He asked back. "There???" Abhi indicate the choas of minutes ago
"Oh, yes! I'm fine." He wave his hand as all nods. "You shouldn't react like that with paps. Sometimes, they make a mountain of mole-hill." Rohan said as he gave a look to Yug
Yug look at him in little surprise. This is the first time Rohan talk with her after they met. Though, it's almost going to be a month, they come face-to-face with eachother. Still.
"Do I look like, I care? They can write whatever shit they want to about me. I hate those journalist with a passion." Yug grumble in annoyed and pissed tone as Kunal Patt his shoulder
"Calm down! Leave this matter here. Don't discuss this in front of Ishu." Yug intake a sharp breath and nod curtly
"Mind If I join??" Kunal shook his head on Vikram who greet them all
Paras gave an ounce over to Vikram, who looking dashing in his burgundy three-piece suit. "Looking good!" Paras said as he smiled and said, "Ishana's excellent work."
"True!" Paras chuckle.
"Oberoi's are here. Already." Saaransh said as all look towards the entrance from where Oberoi's entered and the door closed behind them the gte of Outhouse closed by two men, stationed outside the door
Mr. and Mrs. Oberoi entered and walk towards the stage as Mrs. Oberoi wore a burgundy Saree with golden border and Mr. Oberoi wore a black suit
Behind them their children; Kabir and Kamini came. Wearing all in black. Kabir wore tight-fitted black suit. Where else, Kamini wore a one way full-sleeves, long slit gown
"Congratulations Akansha. You too, Yuvraj." Kamini said as Akshu just smile half-heartedly at her
"Why the hell, Ishu didn't came??" Kunal hissed rubbing his temple as he saw Kamini spotted Krish and exactly approaching towards him
"No. Damn! She's approaching, Bhai. She said US to not let her get close to him. If we fail, she'll chopped our head into several pieces." Yug sneer in panic
Kunal's eyes which held irritation met with Akshu's eyes who's herself pissed off. She wants to enjoy this evening but there's one after another choas.
Suddenly the door of the Outhouse opened again by the same two guards. Everyone stopped, the hall felt silent, almost a pin-drop silence first, then heard few gasps from the men present in the hall
"Woah!!" Saaransh gasps and then chuckled looking around every men's face gobsmacked
"Is it, really Ishu?? I'm not dreaming right?" Abhi muttered then smile at Ishana
Ishana felt a little... No, More Awkward, when every pair of eyes on her, precisely. She hates to being centre of attention.
She still choose to go inside. As her face held a smallest smile. Eyes shined. She walked inside the hall graciously.
Her head held high, backbone straight, which screamed CONFIDENCE. Her walk on those black designed stilletos, making clicking sound with each step she took, which screamed POWER.
In that black off-shoulder gown and a shimmering sleek-net long cardigan which covered her bare arms perfectly.
Her free black hairs are straightened to the perfection. She just wore a long light-weight dangling diamond earrings and a simple diamond bracelet and finished her look with light make-up
(Ignore the hairs)
"Rohan, you'll choke on a fly." Saaransh mumbled softly as Rohan came out of his la-la land as he cleared his throat.
She's looking.... I can't express my emotions in my words, right now! All I can say, she stole my breath. Again., Rohan muttered under his breath as he didn't even blink at her
His heart definitely skips few beats.
"Who's she?? I never saw her."
"She's so beautiful even with dusky skin tone. Damn! I lost my heart."
Ishana heard the soft whispers but she ignored. She directly walk towards the stage, near her sister ignoring every stares.
"Did you just stole my limelight?" Akshu pout and pulled Ishana's cheek softly
Ishana scowl, "not my fault. I can swore, they eyed every girl, just the same way." She muttered back as Yuvi chuckle standing beside them.
"Not everyone." Yuvi stated as Ishana frown as he nudged her to look at side
Ishana turned to look at the direction following his gaze as her eyes clashed with Rohan's eyes, which is still looking at her
Her mind reeled back to the moment that they shared in kitchen few good minutes back. And she can feel, blood rushing towards her cheeks and ears as she instantly look away but she didn't miss the proud smile on his face
"Shut up!" She spatt at Yuvi who grinned.
"Hey! The earrings, bracelet, is it Raj uncle gifted you?" Akshu muttered as she nods at her, grinning
"Isn't it, beautiful?" She grinned back as Akshu chuckle with a nod. Vish's eyes stopped after she noticed something
"Hey! The ring is pretty and simple, from where you got this? Who gave? Meera Aunty or Ragini Aunty??" Vish question as Ishana too look at the ring
She smile at the ring. It has a small heart in centre and around it leaf design, which covered her finger.
"I don't know. Actually, it was there with the other jewellery. Maybe, Mom brought it." Ishana smiled
"Isn't it the same one. You liked it, when we went to buy our engagement rings?" Akshu asked as Ishana nodded
"Why you wore it in ring finger?" Sary asked
Ishana pout like a sad little girl. "I don't know it's problem. But it's only fixing properly, either on my index finger or ring finger." She said annoyedly
Girls chuckle at her response as Yuvi grunt suddenly. "You girls and your gossips over diamonds, lehenga or make-ups. I'm getting bored. I want my friends too." He complained as Ishana chuckle at him
"Aww! Jija Ji. Itni jaldi kaise." She tease him. (Not so soon, Brother-in-law.)
Yuvi make a face on her statement. He waved at the boys and signed them to come and join him.
"Why Kamini is looking at both of US?" Akshu frown softly
Ishana cupped her face in her both hands and look at her. "You. Focus on yourself, right now. Don't bother about her or anyone." Akshu sighed at her words and nods back
"I'll be around with Yugi or Kunal Bhai. Call anyone, if you face problem." Akshu grin on her serious face.
"Don't laugh. I'm serious." Ishana said seriously after she saw everyone smile at her words.
"I'm going!!" She snort and took a small step backward and turned her body just to collide hard with someone as cause of it's impact her body moved back
She closed her eyes tightly ready to fall as she heard Yuvi and Akshu's panic voice but they stopped the words stop, everything stopped
Even, she also stopped in mid air. Peeping one eye open, she look down first to see herself hanging in the mid air. She look upward to come face-to-face with.... Vikram
Vikram look at him with raised brows at her. She smile then grinned at him, who roll his eyes at her and helped her to stand properly
"You... good?" He asked as she nods. "Thank you so much for your help, Mr. Sehgal." She said with curtsy with a cheeky smile as Vikram frown
"Ahh!! Stop smiling like that. It's giving me shivers." Vikram rub his own arm as Akshu chuckle at his expression
Suddenly Ishana pulled away a little back. She look aside to see Rohan as he stood just beside her and swat Vikram's hand which still holding Ishana's hand
Vikram look at him with raised brows but he received blank stares from him.
"You're okay??!" Kunal asked her, as he take quick once over to her, to check any injury if she got
Ishana roll her eyes at Kunal. "Why you're so clumsy?" Yug gave her an offended look as Ishana's eyes narrowed down on him
"It's not her fault. I was in call and she collide with me. I'm Sorry for that." Vikram intervene as Ishana nods
"And this carpet too." Rohan muttered looking down at the carpet, it's corner turned upside down as anyone can tripped on it
He and Paras smoothen it correctly using their legs. Feeling a stare on himself, Rohan raise his head upward as at the same time Ishana look away as fast as she can.
Rohan smile at her who turned her face another side. "Ehhh?!" Ishana gasp very softly as she nudged Yug with her elbow
"What??" Yug hiss as she signed him to look at the entrance. Both of them saw, A girl in modified, A-line, off-shoulder burgundy and black gown, coming towards them. Her model like face highlighting cause of her perfect make-up and lights. Her soft curly blond hair is bouncing everytime she take a step to walk closer to them.
Both of them look at eachother and grinned as both of them stick to Kunal and grinned making the latter frown
"You've a special guest, Bhai." Ishana smiled at him as Yug chuckle.
"Me? Who??" Kunal asked pointing at himself. "Your sweet darling, Ku Baby." Yug said cheekily, rubbing his hand over his chest
All cringed in disgust as Kunal's jaw tickled. "Hands off me, Samarth. I'll fucking chopped your dick." Kunal warned as Ishana laugh softly
"Kuuuu Babyyyy." They heard a feminine squeal as Yug chuckle
Kunal's glare dropped from Yug as his face twitch at the voice... more at the disgusting nickname.
"Oh Com'on. Why did they have to invite her?" He groan, ready to run away from there but Yug and Ishana hold his hand
"Ugh!! Not now. Leave my hand." He grunt at them as Akshu giggle on that.
He take a quick look at the way and saw she's really close to the stage. "Shit! I gotta go." He cuss
"Ishu, Please. You know I hate it." He gave a pleading look to Ishana as his gaze shift to Yug and he glare him hard. "You shithead, leave me." He spatt as Yug chuckle
"Ok." Yug shrug and loose his hold. Kunal turn to leave but the girl is quick as she pull him back.
"Ku Baby, Are you ignoring me?" The girl ask and pout as Kunal grumbled some cuss under his breath
"Yes." He said in calm tone as the girl gasp "Can't you say something to please me??" The thinned her lips
"No." Again curt word. Yug grin, as he tightened his teeth. Not wanting to laugh at this moment.
The girl behave she didn't heard anything as she smile at him. "Tell me. What's different is there in my style?" She ask
Kunal gave a once over as he frown not understanding what new. Her face is same, isn't it?, He thought
He look at Akshu and her friends who shrug at him as he sighed and turned to the one who can help him. The boys chuckling then and now
Yug placed his hand around Ishana's neck as they both grin at Kunal's helplessness face
Ishana rake her fingers delicately over her own neck as Kunal's eyes landed on the girl's neck where a dazzling crystal diamond necklace resting on it's own glory
"Nice necklace." He smile tightly as the girl grin. "How am I looking?" She throws another question at him and blink her eyes at him
"You're wearing DRISHAN's Design. You need to look outstanding. No need to praise yourself. Praise the hard work behind the dress." Just after Kunal ended
Ishana cleared her throat loudly thrice as the girl roll her eyes at her. "Did you catch cold?" The girl turned at her
"No. I'm suddenly feeling proud of myself. Do you have any problem at my praise, Caroline?" Ishana cocked a brow at her as she snort
Before Caroline could retrot back. Yug interrupt saying, "Ahh! You Ku Baby is already gone."
Kunal clenched his jaw hearing Yug as he groan and fasten his pace as Caroline followed him on her toe as both Yug and Akshu with Ishana burst into fits of laughter
"God!! Kunal Bhai always ran away seeing her." Akshu chuckle "Isn't she the Brand Ambassador of AR." Ishika comment as Ishana nods
"In intial days, we thought she's interested in Bhai, as she used to roam around him. But then, we get to know, she actually interested in Kunal Bhai." Ishana said and shrug
"That's true. We really get a good shock. When she confessed and Kunal Bhai. He till date, avoid her." Akshu roll her eyes
"Hii, Ishana." Ishana literally jump on her place and cling to Yug, who got startled too, on Ishana's act
"Oh, god!! What's your problem is??" She sneer on Kamini who smile awkwardly
"I'm Sorry." She muttered as Ishana's head snap at her with wide eyes
"Did she... Apologies to me??" She poked Abhi, who roll his eyes
"Ms. Oberoi. I'm not, Akansha. I'm Ishana, whom you really hate. Remember?" Ishana said as Sary can't help but laugh
"You really hold grudges, aren't you?" Kamini state as softly as she could.
"Yes. I do!" Ishana smile sarcastically. "Look, I know. I was rude. Actually, I didn't knew you're one of the Ma--"
"That's enough!!" Ishana cut her off. Her tone hardened, the playfulness and sarcasm vanish as all standing on the stage look at her
Kamini startled too. "You said enough. Now shut up!" She look dead serious
Kamini's lips thin in line. "Listen. And listen carefully, Ms. Oberoi. If you said about this to anyone, that moment will be your last moment in this world. Am I clear or am I clear?" Kamini gulp, for the first time she's scared infront of Ishana
She can swear. This girl is serious about it. "I-- I won't say this to anyone. I swear!" Kamini added fastly. Panic visible in her eyes as she gulp
Ishana roll her eyes. As she started saying, "I don't. I don't wanna be rude with you. But trust me, when I say, I'm very much patience person. Cause, I'll give you only three chances.
First, you and your brother already lost, by always creating ruckus in company, either it's AR or MIG. Second, your family lost, doing this marriage drama..." Kamini open her mouth to say something but Ishana warn her not to cut in between
And, Kamini knows better than opening her mouth. "It's a drama. You and me, both knows. So, let me clear it to you." Ishana took a sharp step towards her as Kamini back off immediately
"I can accept everything. But if you try to play games with my brothers or family. I fucking show you, how it's played." Ishana's jaw clenched
"I rea-lly don't know, wh-- what you're say--ing." Kamini muttered softly
"Tch!" Yug click his tongue as he chuckle. Ishana's hand formed in a ball as she glare her openly "Stop your father from announcing the "marriage" of yours with my brother." Akshu said as she raised her both hands to quote, referring so-called
"Akansha. You know, I like your brother." Kamini reason out
"You like him. Or you like Rishi Raj Mahajan's Son? The heir of this great Empire??" One feminine voice spatt, Ishana and all turned to see
"You...." Kamini gulp in shock at the person. "Riddhima DI!" Akshu exclaim
Riddhima smile at Akshu but her eyes glared at Kamini. "Ms. Oberoi. I like to have a chat with your brother and father." Riddhima smile tightly at her
"About what??" Kamini gulp again. "You'll know." She smile cheekily at Kamini as her smiled drop.
"Excuse me!" Kamini mutter and ran away from there as Ishana's friends laugh on it

Author's POV
There's a soft music playing around and everyone is enjoying with there family and friends company.
There's a girl standing near the bar conter thinking something. "True. Life is a chess board where you've to earn everything at a cost of war." She heard a familiar voice and sighed
"Have you ever played chess?" The voice asked, coming towards her. Arshi turned and saw a girl with same age
Wearing a burgundy and black, halter neck gown and a soft and comfortable faux fur shawl drap around her shoulder, giving it a classy finish
"Yes!" Arshi answered getting a nod from the person standing next to her
"Then play it again, Be the Queen, then even the King will be your slave. There's no other way to handle that crazy man, standing over there near staircase." She closed her eyes tightly not wanting to look at that person, again.
"Play with your mind and heart both. Don't fall back, get up and move forward." She shook her head on it.
"I don't want anything from that man, standing over there in black tuxedo" Arshi mutter and next second she grit her teeth realising what she said
"I got my answer." With a chuckle the person went away
"Wait! Who are you??" Arshi stopped her
The girl smile at her. "Oh, me! Riddhima. Riddhima Rathi." She extended her hands
"Advocate Riddhima Rathi?" Arshi question as she nods. Arshi smile and shake her hand with Riddhima
"Myself Ar--" "I know, you're Arshi." Riddhima smile not breaking the handshake as Arshi frown
"I'm one year junior to Krish. When the first time he met you, he told US about you." Riddhima smile as Arshi's eyes widen on it
"We means, Eric, I and his closed friends." Riddhima ended, but her smile dropped
"Ms. Sinha, I know you're upset, you're angry with K. But, let me tell you. Mahajan siblings life are not so simple. It may looks peaceful from outside, but it's chaotic from inside. Specially, Ishana's." Riddhima ended as her eyes turned towards Ishana, who's listening what Eric saying her
"Ishana??" Arshi mutter. Riddhima turn at her and nods. "These two siblings are like sky and earth. But they're still, the siblings who can go to any extent to protect eachother." Riddhima sighed
"Don't let everything go, please. Give it time and I can assure you'll get to know them. Krish's first priority was, is and always will be HIS SISTERS. Ishu and Akshu." Arshi look at the girl, who is giving her silent advice which she can feel but can't understand properly
"But why?? What's there to worry about? He's doing fine. They're okay. Ishana is safe." Arshi frown as Riddhima chuckle sarcastically
"If she is safe. Then, she won't be a hidden person. No random reporter would stated, saying, 'She's Dead!'." Riddhima spatt softly as Arshi blink, she instantly remember the comment that reporter did
"All I can say is, We also don't know, when Ishana is safe between US or when she'll be hurt. We don't know, if the next morning she'll be with US. Alive." Riddhima ended again, with a bitter smile as Arshi gasp
"Riddhima DI !!" Ishana wave at her as Riddhima smile at the girl and walk towards her. Arshi saw how Riddhima gave a tight hug to Ishana
"Good Evening to all the beautiful ladies and handsome gentlemen's." Vish grabbed the mic to start the evening
"My eyes are blessed seeing so many happy and smiling faces, tonight." She chuckle too when everyone burst into soft laugh
"Everyone. It's time for the main thing. It's time for engagement. Please join US and this beautiful couple on the stage." Vish chorus as Ragini with Suraj and Sahay's walk on the stage and others surrounded them
"Vishakha. The rings." Mrs. Sahay said as she nods
One of the member from Vish's team bring the trolley which is decorated with black and burgundy roses and between it the closed ring box are place
Meera and Mrs. Sahay pick the ring but they frown as Meera opened the box and gasps behind her Mrs. Sahay too
"Where's the ring??" Both the ladies shriek in panic as Ragini frown
"What?? Suraj, where's the ring??? You bring it with yourself. Where it went??" Ragini glare her husband who fumble, opening and closing her mouth
"Yes. And, Abhi fetch our side's ring and he gave it to me but... Now it's missing." Mr. Sahay scratch his head
"Aunty!" Sarika call but everyone ignored her
"Suraj, beta. Where you placed it?? Try to remember" Sanjay said "Dadu!!" Yug call too but as usual ignore
Suraj nods saying, "It's there only. But--" He sighed
"Geez! Elders, Calm down." Ishana interrupt in between as all heads turned towards her
"Ring is with me." Arshi and Krish muttered in unison as Ishana nods and everyone sighed in relief
"Where it is??" Akshu asked
"Here." Sary and Ishika placed two platter there with several small boxes.
"What is it?" Yuvi grunt as he groan seeing Ishana smirking at him. "Com'on, Ishu yaar! Please, Do we really need to do this." He whin
"Yes, Yuvi. It's for fetching some good luck." Paras wink at him as all chuckle
"What they need to do?" Riddhima ask
"Task. Ms. Prim-and-Proper." Eric mock her as Kunal grunt at them. "Now you two, don't start." Ishana deadpanned as both of them went silent
"Easy. Peasy." Ishika muttered and laugh at Yuvi's sulking face.
"Umm--- Think it as a luck test of both of yours." Vish started as Ishana nods
"In each platter there is 10 boxes. Your ring is placed in one of them. You'll get three chances to guess it correct without opening it." Ishana added as Yuvi and Akshu's eyes widen
"What??" Yuvi shriek as all laugh present there. "Yes. And whoever will win. He or she....." Ishana gave a suspensive pause "won't get nothing." Yug ended, casually as they ladies burst into laughter
"Really?? We won't get anything??" Akshu frown. "Ms. Minion. Seriously!? You're getting engage. What more you want?" Eric frown as Akshu gritt her teeth on the nickname
"I'll kill you." Akshu muttered with tight teeth as Eric roll his eyes at her. He loves to tease her!
"Start now!" Vish said as Ishika place a timer of 60 seconds
Yuvi touch one but then back off as Akshu too did the same. "God! How come we get to know." Akshu muttered as Kunal chuckle
"Can I do, 'Inky-punky-ponky' ?" Yuvi question as all burst into laughter
Ishana frown looking at the doorway but saw no one. She frown, as she felt there was someone standing minute back.
She gulp as her hand fumble in the air and lastly grabbed Krish's tux's sleeves
"What happened??" Krish ask in whisper as she look at him and gulp
"I thought--- Bhai, what about the security is it okay? Is there any problem??" Krish sighed as he pull his sister in a small hug
"Everything is good. Don't worry. We're together here. Nothing wrong is going to happen, okay." Krish muttered caressing her back
"Kshitij? Where's he? Why can't I see, him??" She ask, her breathing got uneven
"Calm down. And look there. Cub, is here only." Krish said, and turned her face towards Vijendra and Sanjay, where Kshitij standing with both of them, and giggling
Ishana sighed and smile at the boy as Krish too sighed as he hugg Ishana. From last two days, she is not talking with him properly
He knows her reasons are valid but still.... He needs his sister. Her support, her smartness, her childishness, everything.
He can't afford to let her get on her own zone. It's not good for her. He can't let her think all those memories. Those are not memories they're nightmares.
Deadly one!
Arshi sighed, as she noticed the interaction between the siblings. As she instantly look away when she noticed Krish felt her stares on him
"Yes! Yes. I got it!!" Yuvi exclaim loudly as both the sibling look at them
He finally got the ring. Akshu sighed in defeat as Yug, Kunal and Eric groan at Akshu when Yuvi and his friends, who're basically from the groom's side except Sarika and Saaransh, teased them
Sarika and Saaransh from the bride's side. As the friends group parted in equal. As Ishana already bride's sister so she insist other two to join her and rest of them in their group is from groom's side
"Did you just loose on the first game, Akshu??" Abhi tease her as she scowl
"Now. Now. Enough. Let's do the engagement." Meera interrupt as all nods
Ishana's eyes again travel towards the door as Sarika open the exact where the ring as they moved the boxes away. And put it in a one box
The ring is beautiful and simple at a same time. With a diamond resting on the top of the ring, shining and glowing cause of the lights, it's totally matches the sparkle of both lovebirds eyes, like little stars in the sky
"Com'on. Proceed. I'm getting bored." Yuvi chuckle at Eric's statement
Both of them, make eachother wear the rings as again loud clapping and cheering with hootings started as Akshu and Yuvi smile on that
------------------------------
(55 minutes and 4 hours ago)
Author's POV
"So tonight's special couple is already looking beautiful and outstanding. So I want them to present US with beautiful and outstanding couple dance too." She added with it the hall burst into several and loud claps with some hootings
"Play this one." Ishana walk towards the DJ and give him the pendrive as he nods
She smile when the spotlight fell on the centre of the hall on Yuvi and Akshu, who chuckle looking at eachother
She sighed, when the music started it's one of the Akshu's favourite song. As soon she heard the lyrics she instantly smile at her
🎶Ishq Ki Dhooni Roz Jalaye
Uthta Dhuaan Toh
Uthta Dhuaan Toh
Kaise Chhupaye
Kaise Chhupaye🎶
🎶Ho Ankhiyan Kare Jee Hazoori
Maange Hai Teri Manzoori
Kajra Siyahi Din Rang Jaaye
Teri Kastoori Rain Jagaye
Mann Mast Magan Mann Mast Magan
Bas Tera Naam Dohraye
Mann Mast Magan Mann Mast Magan
Bas Tera Naam Dohraye🎶
As the song proceed further, Ishana let out a soft smile at the couple. Both, Yuvi and Akshu have a calm and serene expression on their faces
They're nervous, excited and very much in love. They dance gracefully, there eyes not straying from eachother as Yuvi make sure Akshu is comfortable with her moves in that dress.
Ishana's hands on her own clutch the pendant on her neck, the same she always wear. She close her eyes and sighed heavily. "I wish, they always stays happy and together. I really, really wish, Buddy." She muttered, and open her eyes and smile at Akshu who's eyes landed on her
Ishana frown feeling a constant stare on her. She cautiously turn and startled.
"Yo--u You! What are you doing here?" She snap with a thinned lips
"Very interesting question. What I'm doing here? I too ask myself, then I got my answer, you know what?" The sarcasm dropping on the floor from words
"Cut the crap, Sinha." Ishana roll her eyes. "I got my answers in you." Rohan's eyes stared straight in her eyes, as if he's trying to read her soul
Ishana can't bear to look into his eyes, that held so much emotions at this moment. She cleared her throat and look away
Another set of applause get heard indicating that the couple dance ended. She saw Yug, rolling his eyes at Nandhini, who's saying something to the boy.
Ishana can bet, she's saying him to like any girl or let her introduce him to the one. She look just beside Yug, where Krish standing and still stealing glances of Arshi then and now
He's doing this from the time he saw her in that dress, but now he's glaring. Wait...?! She look at Arshi, to see she's smiling and talking with Eric, she chuckle softly, as she saw how Eric pass her brother a mischievous smile
"Can you please, stop following me??" She turn and look amuse at Kunal, who's hella irritated with Caroline's flirting, as the latter grinning
She shook her head at her brother's. No matter what or in which ever problem they are stuck, they never failed to make her smile at their doings either it's behaviour, talking or stupidness
"You're looking drop-dead gorgeous, Sweetheart." She shiver when Rohan's breath caressed her bare neck
She intake a sharp breath and tilted her head slightly to look at him with her side eye vision. "Stop flirting with me. I hate flirting." She stated softly, not wanting to shout
Rohan took another step closer as he grabbed her cold hand in his slight warm one
He held it firmly as he raised his gaze at her. "I'm not. I just said, which I felt. You're looking beautiful, really. To me, you're." He muttered as he again look at her face
Ishana's heart thumped loudly not only cause of his words but also at the emotions, his eyes held.
The admiration.
She gulp and teared her eyes away as she wriggle her hand to free it from his hold, but he more firmly grasp her hand as she feel giddy in the pit of her stomach, when Rohan's thumb draws circle on her palm
Rohan smile at the sight of ring. She really like simple things. "Ro--"
"VB !!" Ishana's voice cut off by Kshitij's excited squeal as he ran towards her in his small steps and Rana following behind
Rohan sighed on it. "Aaa Gaya. Isme koi sensor fix hain, kya? Isse pata kaise chal jata hain, ki me Ishana ke karib hoon." Rohan muttered with a frown
(Here we go. Is there any sensor fix in him, or what? How does he get to know that, I am close to Ishana)
He still didn't left Ishana's hand, as she kept wriggling. Rohan clamped his fingers firmly around her and put in it his pocket
Ishana's eyes widen on that. "Woooooww !! VB, cho (so) pleety (Preety)." Ishana smile at him.
"It's preety not pleety." Rohan stated as in return he earned, offended looks from Mother-son duo
Rana smile on it, when he saw Ishana and Kshitij both look at Rohan with narrowed eyes and irritating look
"You look like an unkle (Uncle)." Kshitij spatt as Ishana chuckle on it as Rohan snort at the toddler's guts
Kshitij ignore Rohan and look at Ishana with widen arms as he look up at her "VB. Up!!"
Ishana thin her lips and wriggle her hand again but Rohan didn't let her. She gritt her teeth as Kshitij look at him with expecting eyes
She feel like to smack Rohan's head. But suddenly, Kshitij squeak as Rohan pick him up in one arm
The boy grin on it as Rohan smile at him. Ishana look at Rohan, who's looking at Kshitij. Kshitij smile at Ishana and kissed her cheeks
Rohan's smile dropped instantly but when she saw Ishana giggle genuinely, he let the boy go. Afterall, he's her Son.... And, her future Son!
He can let him, have his set of love.
"How many cakes you gulp down?" The boy grin on it as he shows two fingers but Ishana's constant make him grin and he finally let another finger out too
Rohan chuckle on that. "Rana Uncle." Ishana look at Rana. "He's said, so cutely." The man muttered and shrug
"Don't fall for his tricks." Kshitij pout on that. "No more cakes or pastries now." He whin
"Argue or disobey me. No sweets for a month." The boy gasp as Rohan just wants to laugh seeing his hooded eyes widen, enlarging his hazel brown eyes which widen in shock
"VB !!" He mutter with a crying face. "No!" He sigh on it and make a sound of sobbing as his lower lip wobble
"Kshitij Mahajan. I'm not falling for that." Kshitij pout and blink on it. But neither Ishana nor Rana noticed, how Rohan's mouth twitch on the surname
He really really didn't like the surname with Kshitij's name.
"Com'on. It's a time for a dance. Everyone, grab there partners. And those who're single, grab any beautiful lady or handsome men, present here."
Rohan's hands tighten around Ishana's hand. She look at him with a expression saying, 'I-won't-dance-with-you'
Kshitij whin. "VB, I alcho (also) dance." He mutter softly as both Rohan and Rana "Aww, my baby." Ishana cup her face and place a soft kiss on his cheek
"I'll dance with you later, okay!" She cooed him as he nods. "You go, I'm with him." Rana said to her
"Yes, uncle is right." Rohan said fastly as he let the boy down and walk towards the place everyone there, while dragging Ishana with himself
"Rohan, leave my hand." Ishana muttered with gritted teeths but Rohan ignore
"Ishu, help me. Save my ass from Maa. Excuse me!" Yug walk towards them as he cut in between both of them much to Rohan's annoyance and Ishana's relief
"Let's dance. Or else, she'll drag me to court to sign on marriage certificate." Yug stated as Ishana roll her eyes
"DA. I understand you. But-- Dance. You know, I'm not a good dancer. Why don't you take... Ridhhi DI." She suggested
"But --" "Com'on, go! Before Nandhu Aunty come after your life. And, I'm going, bye!!" Before Yug or Rohan could stop her she left
"What the hell was that?" Rohan look pissed off as he snapped at Yug
"What?" Yug frown confusedly. "Cause of you, I lost my partner." Rohan snap again and stomped muttering some cuss to Yug
"Man, she's his dance partner. Does he really need to behave like I stole his life partner. What a brat." Yug muttered and walk towards Riddhi
"Why you both standing here??" Meera narrowed down her eyes at her both children
Krish shrug, "I'm getting bored." He mumbled in his breath
"I'm not good at dancing. I don't want to dance." Ishana said after she earns looks from Meera
"Go and Dance. What a boring kids I got." She sneer as Ishana frown at her
"You go and dance. I'm happy here." Krish muttered as he hiss next second when Ragini smack his back
Ishana chuckle but her smile dropped when she saw Kabir approaching towards her. She groan inwardly, she doesn't have a single interest to interact with him
She slowly scoot near her father and wrap her arms around his left arm and sighed
Though, Kabir approach but soon he stopped with Raj's murderous glare as he didn't dared ask anything to Ishana, he just took a swift turn and stopped infront of her own sister
Ishana giggle like a happy kid after seeing Kabir going way as she grin, making Raj smile at her
"Aye, Dad ki Chamchi. Jaoo abhi." Meera said as Ishana sulk
(Dad's Pet. Go now.)
"Mujhe apke nalayak bete ke saath dance nahi karna. Pichli baar mujhe gira diya tha. Or Abhi koi Hain bhi nhi, so me yahi rahungi." Ishana sneer looking at Krish, then smile at Meera lastly
(I don't want to dance with this useless son of yours'. Last time, he dropped me down. And, now there's no one, so I'm staying here.)
"Nalayak kisse bola? Meri galti nahi thi. You tripped, cause of your clumsy self." Krish spatt back with a stink eyes as Ishana's nose flared in anger as she took a step to smack Krish but Raj pull her back
(Whom you called, Useless? That wasn't my fault.)
"Kitna jhagarate hain ye dono. Oh, God!" Priya exclaimed with a sigh, seeing how, Krish too pull his sleeves up to get into a fight with his sister
(How much this two fight.)
"Enough! Chup Karo, ab dono." Raj said as he frown down at Ishana, who is huffing looking at Krish as Raj's stare shifted to Krish, and he shook his head seeing Krish too, frowning at his sister
(Stop now, both of you.)
"You don't have to dance with him. Come, you'll dance with me." Raj said, Ishana look at him with raised brows
"You'll dance..... with me? Leaving Mom? Tsk, Does the sun sets down in east today?" Ishana scoff as her words dripped with sarcasm
Raj flicked on her forehead as she wince and rubbed the spot. "Oww!" She glare at her father as both Sanjay and Vijendra laugh on it
"You talk too much. Don't you?" He squeeze her cheeks as Ishana grunt angrily. "Come now!" He said as she grin
"Bye, Mom!" She grin at Meera and while leaving give a flying kiss to Meera, who deadpanned at her
"Fox!!" Krish spatt as Ishana ignored his comment. "God, Minute back she ws fighting with Krish, now grinning ear-to-ear." Jyothika chuckle on that as Meera smile
"Mom! Dance with me." Krish said as he hold Meera's hand and dragged her on the dance floor
"What?" Meera screech. "Yes! That Fox. She call me Useless. How dare that, Little Gremlin." Krish grumble
"What??? What... Lin?? Krish Mahajan, stop calling your sister names?" Meera slapped her head as he make a face
"She's annoying me. Don't you heard, what she said in the afternoon? Not even talking with me properly." He said as he joined others in the dance
"She's not annoying. You're being annoying. Actually, your decision is. Don't think, I'm not saying anything that doesn't means, I'm agreeing with your nonsense. I'm upset with it too. But your father said, to not interfere for a time being, and that's why I'm silent." Meera said as Krish nods on it
"Don't worry too much. I promise, I won't do anything wrong." Meera nods on his words as Krish smile and twirl her mother once
"Are you okay!" Ishana sighed, and blink at her father then frown "What happened to me?" She ask
Raj sighed and shook his head and smile at her softly as Ishana reciprocate. She knows, what Raj asking but she decides to ignore the question. What's the need of questioning the matter, which just hurts you.
She chuckle as the music changed into a slow and peaceful beats by the DJ as Raj twirl her, and she saw her side to see, Akshu with Suraj
"Copy Cat!" Ishana spatt at her as Akshu scowl in return. Suraj chuckle on that.
"Who's with Ragini Aunty?" Ishana asked, as Akshu nudged her to look at side. She did and saw Ragini's partner change from Suraj to Kunal
She smile at Kunal as Raj again twirl her. Ishana saw Eric with a random girl as they cut off the circle formation to come out
She smirk on the thought in her mind as she look at Raj and grinned. Raj's inside twist. He knows this expression of his daughter, it's call for mischief and trouble
"Twirl me. Twice, okay?!" She said as he gave her a unsure look. "Please na, Dad!" She wriggle him as Raj gve in with a sigh
He did what she said him. As in that two continues twirl, Ishana near towards Eric, and on the third half-twirl she slapped his back of head
Cause of the sudden attack. Eric's forehead dashed with the girl's nose as both of groan in pain.
Ishana quickly twirl back into her father's arms. Raj gaped in shock at that. As the couple's near them, gasp but Kunal, Yug and Krish chuckle
"Why you did that?" Raj snap at her softly. "For fun." Ishana reply cheekily as Raj gave her, 'Are-you-real?' look
The girl left the dance after saying some good profanity. Eric rub his forehead and look around to see, all of them looking at him, stopping their dance
"Keep dancing, guys!" He smiled awkwardly. "Aish!! Tsk! Such a bad night, for you, Milli." Ishana gave him a pity looks
Eric narrower down his eyes at her as she chuckle at him. "You did that, didn't you?" He grumble
"What? What I did? How can I reach you so fast?" Ishana gave him a 'what-the-hell' look
"Yes. Her legs are too short for that." Yug cut in between with Riddhima as Ishana glare him hard, almost with an intention to kill him
The song changed again, as with it partners changed. Ishana twirl as Abhishek joined her
Rishi joined Meera, Suraj's partner changed to Ragini again. Riddhima went to Kunal, and Sarika came to Yug
Both Rishi and Suraj cut in between the circle and joined other elder couples there.
"How's it went? Tell me. What Sary said?" Ishana question as Abhi laugh on her expression
"She said.... She'll think about it. As our background is totally different. From whole different upbringing, so it's tough. But she'll give it a thinking." Ishana grin on it as she tightly patted his back making poor Abhi wince
"I'm proud of you, Rajput!!" She squeal softly, hugging him as all look at both of them
Abhi grin. "Thank you, Partner! It's all cause of you." Abhi squeal, hugging her back as both Raj and Pratap look at their kid
"Tell your Son, to go away from my daughter." Raj glare at Pratap who scowl
"Your daughter don't have any problem, though." Pratap retrot back
"Oh, please. They're just good friends." Jyothika said and roll her eyes on both the father's
"Isn't Yug was her good friend?? How come he took his place?" Raj scowl, he definitely don't have problems with Yug.
"He's her best friend. And, so what if Yug is her friend. Can't she make any other friend?" Meera counter back, as Jyothika nods her head in it
Abhi smiled, but his smile vanish when his eyes met with Rohan's, who's dancing with Ishika, but eyes on Ishana. Abhi fastly broke the hug, seeing the death glares he's giving him.
"Oh god! I can feel the death glares, of lover boy from here." He mumbled under his breath
"What?" Ishana frown, breaking the hug. Abhi shook his head. He saw Rohan twirl Ishika to Saaransh and walk towards them as the girl who dance with Saaransh look at him with a bewildered face
Abhi sighed knowing very well, what's coming. "I got an important call. Sorry!" Yug said, as he look at Sarika who shook her head and mutter "No worries. Go ahead."
Yug left the place as Ishana stopped Sarika saying, "The light is too much, it's giving headaches. I don't want to dance anymore." Ishana frown at the lights as Abhi nods
Sarika roll her eyes on that but Ishana said. "I'm serious. My legs are hurting a little bit." She sighed as they both nods
She saw the elder couples are now not in the dance floor and talking with other business associates
Her brows raised up in amused when she saw, both Yug and Kunal are missing from the dance arena and thus, Krish with Arshi and Eric is with Riddhima
Ishana groan seeing Eric and Riddhima's lips moving, they surely fighting with eachother. And, Arshi is glaring at Krish and deliberately stepping on his feet, while dancing
"You deserve that, Brother." She mutter softly. Ishana didn't notice the two figures approaching towards her
"Ishana." She turn around to face Vikram, who smile at her. "May I have the privilege to dance with this beautiful girl?"
Ishana chuckle on that as she look at Vikram's out-stretched hand towards her.
"Umm... I'm having headaches, cause of this lights." Ishana said and saw how Vikram's smile vanish but he still nodded at her. "But stilll.... Sure!" She shrug and he smile instantly, she approach to grab her hand but an another hand intervened
"Sorry, Sehgal. This girl here, belongs to me." Rohan's hand firmly clasped around Ishana's palm
"What???" Both Vikram and Ishana were shocked at his words
"I thought, I was loud and clear." Rohan retrot as he heard a whistle behind them
Abhi and Yuvi zipped their mouth seeing Ishana's glare and turned away with Akshu and Sarika
"I asked her for the dance and she agreed. Now, move!" Vikram's voice was still and calm
"Fine! Do you want to dance with him, Sweetheart??" Ishana gulp at Rohan's husky tone and his firm gaze as she scoot away
"I-- Actually, I'm having headache. I want to skip it. Why don't you both dance with eachother." She shrug and heard few chuckles and they both don't need to turn to say it's their friends
She removed Rohan's hold over her hand. "Later, Viki. Bye!" Ishana sighed as she raise her hand to patt Vikram's shoulder but Rohan grab her hand and walk another side
"Rohan, please. I'm really having heada--" She stopped in mid seeing the lights got more dimmed, and making the surrounding more dark at the dance arena as the spotlights turned off except two in two different corners
"Didn't you said, you having headache." Rohan stated as Ishana turn at him. The music stopped and changed as Ishana look towards the DJ, when the lyrics started
🎶🎶Kehte Hain Khuda Ne Is Jahan Mein Sabhi Ke Liye
Kisi Na Kisiko Hai Banaya Har Kisi Ke Liye
Tera Milna Hai Us Rab Ka Ishara
Mano Mujhko Banaya Tere Jaise Hi Kisi Ke Liye (×2) 🎶🎶
Ishana look back at Rohan when he pull her closer and snaked his hand around her waist
"Isn't it your favourite song?" Rohan smile at her softly
"Not anymore." She stated blandly and look away
"Does your leg really aching??" Ishana gave him a 'Did-I-speak-in-chiense' look
"Remove your stilletos."
"Huh ?!"
"Remove it, aside. And, place your feet on mine." Rohan said softly dipped her down and pull her back in same minute
"How about putting my feet on yours' with the stilletos?" Ishana remarked in sass
"Will you feel good, after doing that?" Rohan asked softly as he tick a strand of her hair behind her ear
"Yes. I'll feel peace." She retrot in the same tone. "Then, do it. I won't even wince." He muttered with an expression that sends shiver down her spine
His eyes reflects as if, he's ready to bare his heart out for her, in a heartbeat.
The silence fell between them as Ishana clear her throat and said. "Do you think, you can impress me saying all this shits?"
"Why is it working?" Rohan smiled at her amused-ly
"Buzz off! Don't you think, you're showing too much guts?" Ishana said as she create few distance between them
"You didn't have any idea of my guts, Sweetheart." Rohan muttered as he bend his head and left a peck on her nose
Ishana gasp and tries to push him away but Rohan hold her both wrist tightly, which resting on his shoulders
"You...! Did you forgot the last slap, Sinha? Do you want another one?" She glare him and showed him her palm in form of slap
"If you dared to touch me again.... I swear I'll peel off that face of yours... Rohan Sinha." She snap at him with an offended face
R
ohan chuckle on that and pulled her closer through her waist and smile. "Fine! I won't do that." He muttered but again pecked her nose in return, Ishana pushed him away in anger and pinch his arm tightly, forcing him to leave her
Her anger riled up more when Rohan didn't even wince. "I hate you!" She gritt her teeth in anger
Rohan took a step and pull her closer, holding her waist. "Do you really despise me this much." A look full of hurt, cross his face
"Minute back, you were ready to dance with Vikram. Then, what happened now? Why, you only have problem with me?" Ishana look away as she wriggle a little
"Just cause of that only incident. Why, Sweetheart? Can't I get an another chance from you?" Rohan's jaw clench when he saw Ishana is silent and not even looking at him
"You should know better what you did. Your distrust didn't hurted but your words did." Ishana finally open her mouth
"That's what hurted me." She for the last time push him away and this time Rohan let her move
"And, I don't know how to forget those words, which play in my head whenever I saw you. Now tell me, is it my fault?" Ishana added and took a step back to turn
Rohan latched his hand around her wrist to stop her in hurry. "Ishana, I'm Sorry. I pr--"
"Ishana." Ishika's panic voice stopped Rohan as the girl approach them
"I need to talk with you both. Come." She pull Ishana with herself as Rohan sighed and followed them
"Ishi, What happened?? Is there any problem with the security? Is everyone okay? Does anything bad happened??" Ishana ask as her heart beat rapidly in her ribcage
She's already having a bad feeling and now this.
Seeing Ishika nods. Ishana's heart sank into the pit of her stomach. She gulp. "Is--hi. What is it? What happened.... Is any--o-ne hurt??" She felt her words stuttering in fear
Fear of seeing any close one into danger.
Fear of losing someone.
Mostly.... Wait, Where's her brothers?? Why she can't see anyone of them??
"What happened Ishika? To whom?? Just don't give suspense." Rohan snap at her in irritation
He saw his friends joined too, except Akshu and Yuvi, all of them have tense expression on their faces
"What happened??" Krish walk towards them as his expression changed seeing Ishana's pale face
"What happened to you? Ishu, breathe. Relax." Krish rub her back, when he felt, his sister is not breathing properly
He panic sensing she's on the way to get a panic attack, again.
"Bhai!" Ishana hugged him tightly as Krish frown. "What happen to you?" Krish hugged her back
"Whe-re's Others? Ishika said, something happens to someone. I thought-- th- You... Or?" She gulp as her face got a relief when she saw Kunal came running towards them
"There's a problem." Krish look at him.
"What's the problem actually? Ishika say something." Abhi snap
"Ishu. DI.... Arshi DI.... She's missing."
