Scene starts from Malhotra Mansion
Next Day Morning....
Harsh groggily opened his eyes...he took a deep sigh...he was feeling weak ... trying to wake up ....he felt someone's presence on his right side...
He looked and found Aarav sleeping there in an uncomfortable position...his head resting on the headboard of bed...
Harsh -"Aise toh iski back aur neck mein dard ho jaayega"...he tried to adjust Aarav's sleeping position but in this process aarav sleep broke ....
He opened his eyes and looked at Harsh...and sat up suddenly...worry was visible on his face ....which was soon masked with a cold look....but Harsh observed it....
He checked Harsh temperature & bp it was normal now -"Aap...aap rest kijiye...."
He stood up from bed...and took the bowl of water and towel ....he just went away.... without even looking at his father....
Harsh left out a sad chuckle- shayad Jo yaha abhi mere pass baitha tha woh sirf ek doctor tha....mera beta.....woh toh...." He shook his head and thought to freshen up...he needed to go to the hospital also.....his personal life problems can't hinder his professional life....as the deen of the hospital he have some responsibilities....his problems can wait...
He tried to stand up from bed but suddenly his head revolved....and he stumbled...but before he could fall he felt someone holding him....he was Omkara...he had come to check if Aarav had woken up or not....they need to leave for hospital....
Harsh looked at him and tried to free himself from his hold -"Mein ...mein theek hu.."
Omkara in a irritated voice-"Dikh rha hai kitne theek hai aap.... for God sake apni health per dhyan dijiye....aapki wajah se bhai pareshaan ho jaate hai....poori raat woh yaha baithe rhe....to keep a check on you"
Hurt flashed in Harsh Eyes.... Omkara noticed it....he meant something else but the words he spoke....created another meaning....Omkara stood still...Harsh with slow steps moved towards bathroom...before entering he said...
Harsh-"Meri fikar krne ke zaroorat nhi hai tum dono ko....and I'm sorry meri wajah se tum logo ko agar takleef hui ho toh"
He entered inside washroom....Omkara looked at the closed door....he turned to go when he saw Ruhaan standing there....he had come to check Harsh before going to School....and heard the conversation....
He felt angry at his big b .... giving him a angry glare he just left from there....
Omkara-"Ru sun toh..." He too walked behind him...and stops him...by holding his arm...
Ruhaan-"Kya hai big b....nhi krni mujhe aapse baat...late ho rha hai mujhe school jaane ke liye"
Omkara-"Ru.."
But ruhaan just left from there...
Ruhaan to himself -"Aakhir bhai aur Big b kyun papa se itna rude behave krte hai...papa ko kitna hurt hota hoga....I can't see him like this....mujhe pta krna hoga why they behave like this....it's high time now"
He came downstairs...and saw Aarav also present there....he didn't wish him just sat on his chair to have breakfast....Omkara also came down... Ruhaan ignored him ....and started having his breakfast....
Glass of milk was brought by staff for Ruhaan....
Aarav thought Again his little brother will show tantrum but...to his surprise... Ruhaan didn't utter a word and quietly drank the milk.....
He was surprised and looked at Omkara....who in return just looked down....Aarav understood something happened that had upset Ruhaan...
They heard footsteps...all turned and saw Harsh all dressed to go hospital...
Ruhaan just rushed to him -"Aap neeche kyun aaye...aapko aaram krna chahiye na"
Harsh smiled a bit -"Mein theek hu beta...and I have to leave for hospital..."
Ruhaan-"Nhi aap kahi nhi ja rhe hai...aapki tabiyat theek nhi hai you need rest"
Aarav and Omkara were looking at them....but didn't said anything..
Ruhaan helped harsh to come downstairs....
Harsh-"I'm fine baacha...tumlogo ko meri chinta krne ki zarurat nhi hai...(it was directed towards his elder sons)....halka sa fever hi bs tha...mara nhi hu abhi tk"
Ruhaan-"Papa...pls aisi faltu baatein mt kijiye...mujhe ye sb sunna aacha nhi lgta" he Hugged him tightly and sobbed...
Harsh-"I didn't meant to hurt you baccha...(separated from hug)...chal aacha aaj tera last paper hai na ...Aaj mein jldi ghar aa jaunga..ok...phir beach per chalenge shaam ko...sirf tu aur mein"
Ruhaan was worried -"Hospital jaana zaroori hai kya papa ...you need rest"
Harsh-"zaroori hai beta...I run a hospital...I can't stay home just because.. I'm little unwell "
Ruhaan sighed...he know harsh will not listen...
Ruhaan-"Aacha breakfast toh kr lijiye"
Harsh shook his head-"Baad mein kha lunga.... I have an urgent meeting today with board of directors"
Harsh kissed his forehead..."Aache se paper Dena..all the best"
Ruhaan-"AAPKE SAATH CHALU MEIN...AJ AAP DROP KRDO"
Omkara shocked ... today was his turn to drop Ruhaan but...
Harsh looked at Omkara...he averted his gaze...harsh sighed...now what omkara did that had upset Ruhaan....but he choosed to keep quiet as his son didn't like his interference...in their matter....
Harsh-"Chal.... Raghu (their driver) wait kr rha hai "
Ruhaan came back to pick his school bag..... which was kept at breakfast table side chair ...
He looked at Omkara and than at Aarav...
Ruhaan -"Aaj car mt bhejna bhai...mein Rohan ke saath aa jaunga...dada pick krne aayenge usko toh"
Aarav nodded-"All the best...aache se likhna paper...shaam ko milte hai"
Omkara-"All the best Ru"
But Ruhaan didn't responded him...
Ruhaan -"Bye bhai"
Aarav-"Bye baccha"
Ruhaan left with Harsh....
Aarav-"Ab kya kar diya tune...jisse woh naraaz ho gya?"
Omkara-"Bhai woh...dad ke room mein".....and he told what he said...
Omkara-"Mere kehne ka woh mtlb nhi tha..."
Aarav-"Bolne se pehle sochta kyun nhi hai tu..."
Omkara-"Sorry bhai".
Aarav frustrated-"Unhone khaya bhi nhi kuch aur hospital chale gye...pta nhi waha per bhi kuch khayenge ya nhi...unki tabiyat theek nhi hai yaar unko aaram karna chahiye tha per nhi chale gye hospital...thodha toh socha kr bolne se pehle"
He stood up...Omkara too...
Aarav-"we need to go hospital too...chalo"
They left for hospital....
Scene shifts to Oberoi Mansion...
Abhay came downstairs in hurry...he was late today....the meeting lasted till late midnight...and after the discussion...for finalizing it ....he needs to leave for kenya in upcoming days and need to inform the same to Rishi too....
With that thought he was about to step out... when kaka stopped him...
Kaka -"Baba naashta kr lijiye...aise Khali pet ghar se nhi jaate..."
Abhay-"It's ok mein office mein hi kr lunga... chalta hu"
He was just going when something came in his mind...he stopped and turned....
Abhay-"Kaka"
Kaka-"Ji baba"
Abhay hesitated-"Woh mein kuch din mein london wapas ja rha hu...aap chahe toh apne gaon chale jaaiye apne parivar ke pass...aapka pota bhi school jaane lga hai na ...shekar se bol dena uski fees ki chinta nhi karen...mein bhar dunga fees aapke pote ke school ki wapas jaane se pehle"....
Kaka Smiled -"Mein theek hu baba ...aur aap hai tbhi toh mujhe apne parivar ki koi chinta nhi hai"
Abhay-"Per woh miss karte honge na aapko "
Kaka -"Ji krte toh hai...ho aaunga 2-3 din ke liye..ye sb chodhiye...Aaj subah Rishi Baba ka bhi call aaya tha woh aap naha rhe thai tb....unne bulaya hai aapko.... unki shaadi ki tareek pakki krne ke liye aaj pandit ji aa rhe hai...woh aapka intezaar kr rhe hai"
Abhay nodded-"Wahi ja rha hu"
Kaka nodded ...Abhay left...
Kaka-"Kitne saaf dil ke hai... Abhay baba...kaun kahega itne bade aadmi hokar bhi kitne jameen se jude hue hai..sbki fikar hai unhe....unke Ghar mein kaam krne wale hum chote log ke saath saath unke pariwar ka bhi khayal rakhte hai.....(sadly)...bs ek hi baat ka dukh hai ... Anupriya madam ji ki maut ke baad bahut badal gye hai...aur bahut akele bhi na khane ka hosh rehta hai na sone ka ..saara din sirf kaam karte rehte hai... bhagawan ho ske toh ....inki Zindagi bhi khushiyon se bhar dijiye...inko bhi muskurane ki wajah de dijiye"
Time skips a bit....
Rohan and Ruhaan...came out of their school after finishing their exam....it was noon time....
Rohan-"Abhi tk aaye nhi bhai"
Ruhaan-"Aate hi honge"
That time they noticed...Abeer driver...he came to them...
Driver Uncle -"Sir ko urgent kaam aa gya tha ... isiliye unhone mujhe bhej diya"
Rohan-"Aree yaar...ye Bhai bhi na"
Ruhaan -"Koi baat nhi ...chl chalte hai"
Rohan to driver uncle-"Uncle hum woh cafe mein jakar ice cream lekar aate hai...aap 10 min wait kijiye hum aate hai"
Driver Uncle -"Theek hai beta per jaldi aana...mein yhi intezaar kr rha hu"
Rohan dragged Ruhaan-"Kya hua hai tujhe...kyun tera face itna utra hua hai"
Ruhaan-"Kuch nhi hua yaar...aur mera mood nhi hai abhi ice cream khane ka...tu ja le aa apne liye bs "
Rohan-"Kuch toh hua hai...mujhe nhi btana toh apne dada ko bata de...unke pass toh Teri har problem ka solution hota hai na"
Ruhaan-"Aisa nhi hai yaar bs....dad ki tension ho rhi hai mujhe "
Rohan alerted -"Uncle...kya hua unhe "
Ruhaan told him everything about how he fainted...to murmuring someone named "Abhay" to how omkara talked with harsh in the morning.....
Rohan-"Tujhe koi idea nhi hai ye Abhay kaun hai"
Ruhaan -"Nhi ...Maine toh kal pehli baar ye naam suna...aur bhai aur Big b ke face se lg rha tha woh pehle se jaante hai ye Abhay kaun hai but mujhe batana nhi chahte....per mein bhi Ruhaan Malhotra hu...pta krke hi rahunga"
Rohan -"Aur mein ismein tere saath hu..."
Ruhaan nodded...."Accha tune dada se poocha unke baarein mein jinne mujhe us din bachaya tha "
Rohan-"Nhi yaar....mein bhool gya tha sorry"
Ruhaan-"Theek hai....tu order kr apni ice cream mujhe ghar jaana hai"
Ruhaan was standing at some corner and Rohan went towards counter to purchase ice cream for both of them...After taking his and Ruhaan favourite icecream and paying..he turned and bumped with someone....
and his ice-creams fell down..but it was his mistake without seeing he turned....
Rohan -"I'm really sorry maine dekha nhi"
Person -"It's okay"
Rohan looked up ...the voice was familiar....
He was shocked to see the person...
Rohan -"Aap yaha?"
Person -"Tum"
Ruhaan came there -"Kya hua itni der kyun lg rhi hai tujhe...ice Cream bs kharidne mein"...
He looked at the person..."Aap"
Face was revealed to be of Abhay....
He had come here because Ruhi called him and asked to bring some ice cream for everyone....to sweeten their mouth After pandit ji decides the marriage dates...so he came into this cafe to buy some...

Abhay -"Ye lo kha lo...mn maarne ki zaroorat nhi hai..."
Ruhaan-"Per hum kaise le skte hai aapse"
Abhay -"Kyun nhi le skte ....ajnabi thodhi hu mein ye hamari 2nd meet hai ...aur aaj exams khtm hue hai na tum dono ke toh meri taraf se treat smjh kr lelo"
Rohan was the first one to grab it....Ruhaan gave him angry glare which he ignored royally....
Rohan while having his ice Cream -"Thank you so much...aap bahut aache ho"
Abhay smiled -"Tum bhi lo wrna pighal jaayegi ice cream "
Ruhaan took it silently....he didn't feel like saying no to Abhay...
Rohan-"Aare tera toh mn nhi tha na phir kyun kha Raha hai"
Ruhaan ignored him....and had his ice cream too....
Their driver uncle came...
Driver Uncle -"Aap log chaliye....sir ka call aa rha hai baar baar..."
Rohan-"Haan haan chalo...jaldi...(turning towards Abhay)...once again thank you for the treat "
Ruhaan-"Thank you so much "
Abhay smiled-"No need for it "
Rohan-"Hum chalte Hain ab"
Abhay nodded....
Ruhaan hesitated -"waise mein aapka naam poochna bhool gya tha...aap"

After disconnecting the call in hurry -"Aacha chalta hu ab mein tum dono bhi apne ghar jao "
Rohan -"ohkkk...kkk it was nice meeting you once again....and thank you for the ice Cream treat too"
Saying so they left.... while Abhay left for Kapoor Mansion...
He reached and found Ruhi,Janhavi, Rishi and Abhi all present there along with Ishu, Ragini and Yuvraj....
Ruhi stood to greet him-"Aap aa gye Abhay "
Abhay nodded and handed her the packet....
Panditji Also came that time....
Rishi-"Aaiye pandit ji"
All greeted him and took blessing...
Panditji checking kundali of Rishi And Jahnavi
Panditji -"iss mahine ki 25 tareekh ka muhurat bahut shubh hai vivah ke liye"
Abhay and all stiff...
Rishi -"Panditji koi aur tareekh bataiye na iss alawa"
Panditji -"Iske alawa toh phir 3 mahine baad ka hi muhurat hai beta"
Janhavi -"Haan toh theek hai na...3 mahine baad ki date finalise kr lete hai"
Abhay interrupted -"Nhi Panditji shaadi ki tareek isi mahine ki 25 tareekh hi rakhiye"
Rishi-"Per Abhay"
Abhay-"Maine kaha na"
Panditji -"Theek hai toh phir...hum vivah se Judi saari cheezon ki list bhej denge aap logo ko abhi ke liye aagya dijiye "
And pandit ji left....

Abhay-"Kya...I'm ok...Ruhi jao jaake ice cream lekar aao sbke liye...it's time for celebration"
Ruhi nodded and left...
Abhi came and hugged Abhay tightly
Abhay smiled-"Gussa shaant ho gya tera"
Abhi -"Woh toh kabka shaant ho gya....aap ...aap theek ho na....26 ko choti maa ki barsi hai aur aapne 25 tareekh ki date finalise krli bhai ki shaadi ke liye"
Janhavi -"We could have wait Abhay..."
Abhay -"But I don't want you and Rishi to wait....that too because of me... khushiyaan ka Waqt hai why to delay it....shaadi hogi aur 25 ko hi hogi woh bhi grand celebration hoga...."
Ruhi came with Tray filled with ice cream bowls...
Abhay picked one bowl and made Janhavi and Rishi have first....
Abhay -"hone wale dulha Dulhan ka chehra Aisa ukhda hua aacha nhi lagta... muskurao chalo dono"
They smiled....
Rishi hugged Abhay tightly
Rishi -"Tu world ka best dost hai yaar"
Abhay smiled....he looked at Yuvraj who didn't said anything but looked down....
Abhay separating from a hug and took one bowl of ice cream-"Baaki sb ko bhi do Ruhi...ice cream....pighal jaayegi wrna"
They all took it and started having ice cream.....
Abhay-"Rishi "
Rishi hummed
Abhay -"I had to leave for Kenya ...Teri shaadi ke pehle aa jaunga"
Rishi -"Theek hai...signing of that deal is important isliye mana nhi karunga...per jldi aana..tere bagair shaadi nhi krne wala mein"
Abhay nooded
Ragini -"Toh kya decide kiya Abhi.... destination wedding ke liye destination nhi toh decide honi chahiye "
Abhi-"What about Buddy's farm house in Lonavala?"
Rishi-"Nice idea... aur waise bhi kitna waqt ho gya hum sb waha nhi gye....holiday type ho jaayega sbke liye "
Ruhi-"Haan aur jo guests honge unke liye bhi aasani ho jaayegi"
Yuvraj who was quiet till now said -"Guest list mujhe de dena Ruhi mein invitation bhej dunga sabko"
Rishi -"Koi zaroorat nhi hai uski..hum"
Abhay -"Haan Ruhi... Yuvraj ko de dena... he'll do this...sb kaam baat lenge toh easy hoga sbke liye."

Rishi-"Theek hai theek hai.... Janhavi apne hisaab se sbko invite kr legi...tu uchalna band kr bandaro ki tarah"
Ishu smiled....
Abhi -tujhe badi hasi aa rhi hai...mein bandar toh tu bhi bandar"
Ishu offended -"Mujhe kyun ghaseet Raha hai ismein"
Abhi -"Tu hasa kyun"
Ishu-"toh hasna bhi gunah hai kya..."
Abhi-"Haan"
Ishu -"Aree"
Rishi and Yuvraj were enjoying...it was as their childhood repeating...
Abhay stern voice -"Stop it both of you "
Yuvraj -"Aree kyun roka inhe Abhay kitna maza aa rha tha"
As before also when Rishi and Yuvraj used to bicker it was Abhay who stopped their non stop bickering....
Abhay shocked....Yuvraj talked to him.... while Yuvraj stood and left from there
Everyone smiled...was the iceberg breaking between them....it will be the best day when these two friends will behave like before forgetting their differences....
