And they all snuggled to Prathiksha as she is some fragile doll

Next morning the wife's came to wake Prathiksha Up as she has to leave in the morning, they were welcomed to the most cutest scene ever, Their husbands and brothers all snuggled up with their little sister, by looking at the way they have held her close they could understand how much scared they are about losing her at that time mahi also came there, seeing this scene he couldn't help but feel guilty about the fact that what if he fail to bring Prathiksha back because he can't see his brothers breaking down again

Mahi : Wake them up fast and ask Prathiksha to get ready and come down stairs fast kaka sa will come within a few minutes

Athiya : She will come back know bhai, we won't lose her right....

Mahi : Look I can't assure you that, but I promise that I will do everything to bring her back

Saying this he left from there leaving them in deep thoughts

Athiya : She will come back know, because I can't see Rahul breaking down again and going back to that depression stage, he finally got his family back and if he lost that he will be shattered

Sanjana : Not only Rahul but everyone will be broken, none of them can think of losing her they have finally found happiness after a long time and if Prathiksha left them then they won't be able to live, so let's hope that nothing like that happens

Ritika : Ro finally found his little sister that he always wanted, if she lives after Rahul he will be the most affected and broken one

Natasha : Even Shub also I don't know if it's just my gut feeling but I feel that shub values Prathiksha more than a best friend and she is even more important to him maybe more than ishu

Devanshi : I hope that she comes back soon and history doesn't repeat again

Anushka : I certainly don't want to but no option let's go wake them up

They went inside and saw the kids were up

Prathiksha : Did they slept here last night, and how did I end up in middle of them

At that time they noticed Prathiksha was not with them , they thought she left without saying bye to them

Rohit : Prathiksha were is she, she already left and we couldn't say bye to her oh God we all shouldn't have slept this long

Natasha : Guys

Shubman : God what she will be thinking about us what kind of people we are, didn't even said bye to her we are screwed up

Natasha : Guys listen

Ishan : She will feel bad, she agreed to go half heartedly and we didn't even came to see her off, what if she thinks we are happy with her going and decides to never come back....... How did we become so

Natasha : Ugh stop it!!! Listen she has not gone anywhere she is down stairs getting ready, now if you guys keep on blabbering like this you all won't be able to bid her bye for real

Ict : No we stopped

Natasha : Good now get ready quick, she will meet you all down stairs

Rahul : But her phone, don't she want this

Natasha : When you guys come down stairs give it to her directly

Natasha left from there and they took a small frame of their photo which they took with Prathiksha during their dhaba dinner from the dressing table

Ict : It's just a matter of two days or maybe just today morning by evening we will bring you back, we love you too much and we won't let someone else claim you as their

At that time prathikshas phone rang it was named as ryan assistant manager, they decided to pick it up and puts it on speaker from the other side they heard a male voice filled with excitement

Ict : Hello

Ryan : Hello Prathiksha I am ryan, your assistant manager for England team I called you yesterday night remember

Ict : Yes Yes I remember, they said in a calm yet annoyed voice

Ryan : Well I called you tell that I will be soon joining the ict as their assistant manager, so since you are the manager of the team can you please bring along their details when you come

The ict was shocked to hear this as they thought a senior manager would be joining the team

Ryan : I know what you might be thinking, that a senior manager was supposed to join the ict right , then why I said that I will be joining them soon

Ict : Yes, as I was informed that a senior manager is joining the team

Ryan : Please don't share this with anyone it's a secret, The England team and Sam the one who proposed the deal lied to your higher officials because if they say that they are sending me in place of the senior manager, then they will not send you to the England team and As for now they will say that the senior manager will join within a few days and till then I will take care of the team and once you become their permanent manager they will reveal the truth because at that time if they want also they won't be able to ask you back from the England team know. Aren't the English Men smarter than the Indian men they wanted you in their team and they effortlessly lied to the higher authorities and those fools belived them turing the entire table in their favour, well I don't know what's so special about you that they are so desperate to bring you back in their team and I hope that the ict is cool like me any way I will meet you when you come and please don't forget to get the details bye bye pretty pie....

He cut the call and ict was quite pissed off by what he said they couldn't accept the dirty games that the England team was playing

Rohit : Those Foreign idiots!!! Who do they think they are, trying to mess with us huh Now it will cause them very badly and this monkey who is he and how dare he call Tara pretty pie, he think that we are cool right

Others : Let's show him how cool we are, heheh

Ict : Welcome to The Real Hell Assistant Manager!!!

They all left to get ready as they had to meet Sam along with bidding bye to Prathiksha

Prathiksha got ready with the help of the wife's and was checking if any necessary documents was missing, at that time she saw the kids sitting with a sad pout she went to them

Prathiksha : What happened to bhuvis favorite kiddo's did someone say something, tell me bhuvi will scold that person or did you fight among yourselves hum

Kids : No, we didn't fight and nobody scolded us

Prathiksha : Then what's the matter huh

Ziva : I heard mumma and chachi's saying that you are going and don't know when you will come back, are you leaving us bhuvi did we do something or hurt you somewhere, where we being bad kids

Prathiksha got sad listening to them but composed herself and said

Prathiksha : No babies, you all are my favorite and amazing babies and why would I will because of you all, bhuvi is going because she has a little work to do and it would take time to finish

Nidhanya : How much

Prathiksha : Umm maybe two days if I do it quickly I will come back by evening

Aarya : Then finish it fast and come back by evening bhuvi, we can't stay without you for two days

Prathiksha : I will but can't promise, and what if I am going for two days you have lot of people to keep you entertained and don't be sad I am not leaving you all

Ziva : But then why did they say that they actually don't know if you would come back or not

Prathiksha : They told like that because what if my work last a little bit longer, I would have to stay for more days know that's why

Ziva : No you should come back by two days or today evening if the work is big bring it here we all will help you to finish it

Prathiksha : OK boss, and yeah my babies never think that I am leaving you all because you all are my jaans and bhuvi can never leave her jaans

Kids : We love you bhuvi and we can't think of staying without you they said and hugged her

Even we also can't they broke the hug only to see the ict boy's standing outside the room they came inside

Virat : Umm are we allowed to join the hug

Nidhanya : No......

Abhishek : Why did we do something

Agastya : Yes

Mayank : What, swear we didn't take your chocolate that bhuvi gave you

Ziva : If you all would have, we would have buried you all alive in a grave full of zombies and for vi chachu and rah chachu we would have made a special grave with extra ghost along with zombies, so don't think of taking our chocolate and cookies

Ict : Gosh that was scary!!! Now tell us what we did

Sammy : Youl alle toolk bhulvi alway we dildnt gelt cuddles

Rohit : Oh so that's the matter, but we all wanted to sleep cuddling with your bhuvi that's why we took her for one day it's fair right

Ziva : No, if you all wanted cuddles then you all could have slept in the bed with us know

Ishan : Zivu the bed is small and do you think so much of giant people will fit in the bed, everyone is not fit like me know

Siraj : That was personal ishu you called us giant and yourself fit, do we look so big

Ishan : Of course you all look except for yuzi bhai, and poor me yuzi bhai and Prathiksha we got squeezed between so many giants ha naa bhai

Yuzi : Ha, And you were squeezed by three giants and one giraffe thank god that you are fine .......

Rahul, Rohit Shubman and Deepak : Yuzi / bhai they glared

Ishan : Instead of complaining you should be thankful that you all got saved from so many giants and a giraffe

Ziva : Umm that's true, you don't look like a giant but you snor a lot ishu chachu and you pissed them off now enjoy saying this the kids run out of the room

Ishan : Ict kids for a reason

Jinx : What did you both say

Shivam : That we are giants right

Jaddu : Now we will show you both what giants can do and how much power they
have

Shubman : And what did you both called me giraffe huh, run before I catch

Virat : No before we catch and break your bones!!!

Shammi : 3 2 1 Go boys catch them....

Yuzi and Ishan : God save me with that they started running around the room and others were also running to catch them

Soon they hide behind Prathiksha

Yuzi and Ishan : Yarr Tara save us from this mad fellows

Shammi : Today no one is going to save you both Prathiksha move

Prathiksha laughed seeing their sweet dramatic moment

Prathiksha : OK ok fine, stop this they were just kidding ha na bhai, ishu

Yuzi Ishan : Yes Yes we were kidding, but they are giants it true they muttered

Jinx : Did you both say something

Yuzi and Ishan : No did you hear something huh.....

Prathiksha : Bhai partner please don't say something like this again in front of them because right now I saved you both , but remember I am going and I won't be there to save you so think before pulling such stunts

Ishan : It's just for two days know partner and if everything goes well then you will come back by evening, then why should we be scared of them

Prathiksha sighed and started talking without looking at them pretending to check her things for the last time

Prathiksha : Umm can't promise you that, What if I liked that place, what if I felt like staying there and not come back humm and the team mates and their families are dying to meet me what if they said they won't send me back, what will I do. Also you are getting a new experienced manager what's the guarantee that you all won't forget me huh

They felt sad and angry at what she said they went to her pulled her and made her sit in the bed they all kneeled down in front of her and said

Surya : We are not sending you permanently, just for the time being because we can't afford to lose you mahi bhai Sakshi bhabhi and zivu, we don't if we are better than the England team or nor we can become like them but we know one thing that we need you in our ict not as a manager but as a family, Tara within a short time you were able to win a special place in our hearts that no one could ever win you proved that everyone is not vishal you gained our love and trust with your hard work and sincerity you helped us to lift ourselves up from the most darkest pace of our lives and made us Smile again and because of you we are happy, and we don't want to go back to that dark lives again . So never say that you will live us ending up us to tie you with us forever

Rahul : You know what when I lost my family I felt that there is no meaning in living and I tried to end my life many times but my ict family and athiya taught me that some lose can never be refilled but it shouldn't stop you from living your life, if not for you at least for the sake of the once you love. Because of them I started living again but they couldn't stop me from slipping away into depression there were many days when I used to stay inside a close room all alone being away from the world, day's were rare when I used to smile and slowly I stopped talking to everyone, medicine was the only thing that could give me peace, but your entry changed everything I felt like my real family returned I could always see the reflection of my mother in you and eventually you became my real sister, your presence helped me to come out from depression, having you by my side became the reason for my smile and if I am that old Rahul it's because of you and I can't afford to lose you and slip into depression again

Rohit : You came to our lives when trolls and negativity took a toll on our lives, we never expected that you would help us to believe in ourselves you taught us the lesson that sometimes we might not be responsible to the world but only to ourselves and more than proving others we should prove ourselves that we are right, because of you we understand that running away is not always the solution to problems but facing it we got our friends back because of you, you cleared the biggest misunderstanding that tored us apart and we are together only because of you. You came like a total stranger in our lives but don't know when you became so important that letting you go would be the last thing we would ever want to think, Please don't leave your brothers and best friends because they can't leave without having you around.

Jinx : And about forgetting about you, we might forget the world but not you because as your name says you became our hope when think that their is no hope left in life, in the life full of selfish people you are that one of the few selfless person whom we met and who cared for us genuinely without expecting anything in return, the way you used to find happiness in small things and the way you used to live in the present without thinking about anything I don't think none of us can do that, you understand us without us saying a single word. You gave us our world back and you are also a part of it so please don't say that you will leave us

Jaddu : Prathi we all love you baccha and we can't imagine a day without having you around we know that England is your first family and you will definitely be happy going back to your family your happy space but please consider us as your second family and come back to us because we need you the most

Ashwin : If we have done anything wrong please forgive us but never leave our side, because we have seen people leaving and never returning in our lives and we always regretted of letting them go and not trying to make them stay but in your case we can't think of letting you go, so if at all you feel that we have hurt you come to us talk fight do whatever you want but don't leave our side

Prathiksha get emotional listening to them

Prathiksha: feeling overwhelmed I... I never realized how much I mean to all of you. I'm sorry for even thinking about leaving.

Virat : placing a hand on her shoulder You don't have to say anything, Tara . Just know that we care about you deeply.

Shammi : tears welling in his eyes Prathi, you're more than just our manager. You're our sister, our friend. We can't imagine life without you.

Hardik : voice trembling You've brought so much light into our lives, Tara. We were lost, but you found us and brought us back together.

Sanju : wiping away tears Baccha, we love you. And we'll always be here for you, no matter what.

Shubman : taking her hand Prathi, you're not alone. We're in this together, through the highs and the lows. We'll always have each other's backs

Ishan : his eyes glistening Tara, you came into our lives when we needed someone the most. You brought us hope, you brought us together. Without you, I don't know where we'd be. You're our rock

Kuldeep : Prathi, you're like a ray of sunshine in our darkest days. You bring joy, you bring laughter. You remind us that there's always a reason to smile, even when life gets tough.

Prathiksha: tears streaming down her face , I... I don't know what to say. You've all become so important to me. I can't imagine not having you all in my life. And I won't leave. I promise. You all mean the world to me, and I couldn't bear to be apart from my family. Thank you for loving me, for accepting me, flaws and all. I'll stay, I'll fight, I'll be here for you, always. And forever

She stood up and opened her arms and said

Prathiksha : Now you all won't give me a huggie she said cutely making them chuckle they all ran to her and took her in a tight embrace mahi's eyes welled up seeing the sight

God please keep my kiddos together no matter what he thought and went inside

Mahi : Umm hug without me, I'm I that bad

They broke the hug and saw mahi standing

Them : No bhai saying this they run to him and he took them into a teddy bear group hug

Sakshi was over whelmed seeing this

She went to them and soon they broke the hug

Sakshi : OK OK enough with your emotional moments Tara baccha come and have your breakfast you have to take a leave kaka sa is waiting

Prathiksha : Just Two minutes bhabhi I will do my hair and come you all go

Mahi : We are going come quick baccha

Saying this he left and others followed him except for shubman

Prathiksha : Shub you didn't go, do you want to tell something huh

He took slow steps towards her and stood in front of her at present he was feeling a lot of emotions like fear of losing Prathiksha, the gratitude of having her in life and the possessiveness of not wanting a third person between them, deepaks entry had made shubman insecure but the sudden appearance of Ryan this unknown assistant manager has increased it and he feels like he will lose her for ever which is the last thing he wants to think her voice brought him back from his thoughts

Prathiksha : Shub are you ok where have you been lost huh??

He didn't say anything and just took her in a tight embrace she understood that he was feeling sad about her going

Prathiksha : Hey it's OK don't feel sad it's just a matter of two days or maybe just today I will be back soon don't worry about me OK

Shubman : You have a special place in my life Tara and the thought of you leaving me it it hurts, I don't know what I am feeling right now but I know one thing for sure that you are very important and special to me and I can't think of leaving without you, please promise me that you will come back and would never leave me alone in this dark world , I won't be able to survive without you

Prathiksha : I understand your fear of being alone, but please know that you'll never truly be alone. Even when I'm physically away, also you will feel my presence through this band that's in your hand and If you still miss me so much, just give a ring I will run and come to you, you are not alone shub and would never be alone even if the world is against you I will always be there for you OK.

Shubman: Promise me, Tara, promise me that you'll return to me unharmed, that you'll never let anything come between us. I can't bear the thought of losing you, not even for a moment.

Prathiksha: I promise, I'll carry you in my heart wherever I go. And when I return, we'll create beautiful memories to make up for the time we've been apart.

He broke the hug and lightly kissed her forehead and joined it together soon they left to have breakfast

At the breakfast table, ritika had already arranged Prathiksha's plate she was about to start eating but Surya stopped her

Surya : Prathiksha wait!!!

Prathiksha : What happened bhiya Why did you ask me to wait

Surya : Remember when your hand was fractured I was the one who used to feed you today also I want to do the same don't know when I might get a chance to feed you again

Prathiksha's eyes filled with tears listening to Suryas words

Jinx : But today you won't feed her alone Sky instead all her brothers will together feed her

Mahi : Of course, and it will start with your mahi bhayi here have it, he said forwarding her a bite to eat and she ate it happily

Like this all her brothers feed her and she felt how lucky she is to get them

Soon it was time for her to go, she took her small backpack and bid bye to everyone

Raina : Baccha remember that you are not going forever it's just a matter of two days after that you will be back to you will be back to your amazing family OK

Prathiksha : I know and bhai please take care of yourself mahi bhai and everyone they need you...

Then she went to mahi and saw tears filled in his eyes

Prathiksha : Bhai I am not going forever it's just a matter of two days, and after that I know you will bring me back now come on give me a hug

He wiped his eyes and gave her a tight embrace after that she went to her bhabhis they said nothing but hugged her and she told

Prathiksha : I will be back soon don't worry about me, I know you all can't stay without my drama

They chuckled softly and she went to her best friends and took them in a tight embrace

Ishan : Come back soon partner

Tanvi : Come back quick taru

Mayank Abhishek and Shubman : We will miss you Pari come back soon

Deepak : Be back soon soon charu

They all broke the hug and kids ran to her and hugged her......

Kids : Promise us charu that you will come back quick

She lightly kissed their foreheads and said

Prathiksha : Pakka I will be back soon

Suddenly she noticed that none of her brothers are there to bid her bye

Prathiksha : Bhabhis where are bhiyas don't they want to say temporary bye to me even my best friends came to say bye then why not them

Raina : It's because they are unable to bid you bye, they might be probably in your room and you have to bring them here

Prathiksha : OK bye the way I have to take my phone also looks like I have left it there, I will be back with bhiyas

On the other side the boys was in Prathiksha's room as Raina said they are unable to accept that she is going and doesn't want to bid her bye temporaryly many emotions are flooding in their minds

Hardik : Guys it's not fair for us to not bid her bye, I know that she is not going permanently but can't deny the fact that she is going for two days and she must be expecting us to see her off, so let's go other wise she might feel bad

Surya : It's not like we don't want to, but the thought of her leaving is killing us from inside and we can't see her leaving, even it's for two days also it's impossible to imagine not having her around

Jaddu : Guys are we the same people who once only had one motive which was to throw her out and not let her manage us, and now look at us we are not able to stay away from her, we are not able to bare her going just for two days

Rohit : Some people are like that, they come as strangers and become family within no time Prathiksha is also like that she came into our lives as a complete stranger and now she has become our family she proved that everyone is not the same , she gained our trust and made sure that we never loss it upon her, when we started running away from the world due to the fear of being judged she stood by our side and made us face the challenges and the world she is a rare gem that God gave us in return of all the pain and suffering we faced

Rahul : finally I feel that I got my lost sister back and now the thought of her being away from me gives a lot of pain , I don't want to bid her bye even temporaryly also it might hurt her but I don't want to get hurt seeing her leaving she has the same nickname that I gave my little sister Tara, till yesterday I wanted to believe that she was my little sister but from now onwards I believe that she is my little sister my Tara

Prathiksha had tears in her eyes listening to them she went inside and hugged Rahul

Prathiksha : Bhai, I have always complained to God for taking my family and leaving me alone in this world, at that time my nani used to say " Believe me Tara, God only took your parents your bhai is still alive in some corner of the world and soon you will meet him that day she also told me when you meet him ask him to promise you that he will never leave your side no matter what and you can always count on him for everything", my dadi told that when I first started to speak muma made me say Rahu bhiya she wanted me to learn my brothers name before hers because she knew that he will be with me even when she is not there, Where ever I go I used to search for my bhai but I never found him, till yesterday I wanted to believe that you are my rahu bhaiya but from today I believe that you are my rahu bhai. So will you promise to be my side no matter what and will I be able to count on you for everything

Everyones eyes welled up listening to her especially Rahul, they don't know if they would be ever able to know about the truth about their real siblings, but today they want to believe that they are each others siblings

Rahul held Prathiksha tight, feeling a torrent of emotions surging within him. His voice quivered as he spoke,

Rahul : "Prathiksha, you don't need to ask. I promise, from this moment on, I'll always be by your side. No matter where life takes us, through every high and every low, I'll be there for you. You're not alone anymore, you have a family, and I'll do everything in my power to make sure you never feel that loneliness again. You are not alone anymore; you have me, your Rahu bhai, forever."

Tears streamed down Prathiksha's cheeks as she looked up at Rahul, her eyes reflecting a mix of relief and gratitude

Prathiksha : Thank you, Bhai," she whispered, her voice choked with emotion. "Having you here, having all of you, it's more than I could have ever hoped for. You've filled a void in my heart that I thought would never heal"

Hardik : " Prathiksha, you've become an indispensable part of our lives. You've shown us what true friendship and love mean. We'll miss you terribly, even if it's just for two days."

Virat : " You've become a part of our lives, Prathiksha. We may not share blood, but our bond runs deeper than that. You're our sister in every sense of the word."

Siraj : " We may have started as strangers, but now, we're inseparable. You've brought light into our lives, Prathiksha, and we're forever grateful for that."

Jinx : " You've taught us what it means to truly care for someone, to be there for them no matter what. You're not just Prathiksha anymore; you're our pillar of strength."

Shammi : "You've touched our hearts in ways we never thought possible. You're not just Prathiksha to us; you're our sister, our friend, our confidante."

Prathiksha, touched by their words, hugged each of them tightly

Prathiksha : " I may be leaving for a couple of days, but you'll always be in my heart. Thank you for accepting me for who I am and for showing me what it means to be part of a family."

In that moment, surrounded by her newfound family, Prathiksha felt a warmth spread through her heart, pushing back the shadows of doubt and loneliness. She smiled through her tears, knowing that no matter what challenges lay ahead, she wouldn't face them alone. For she had found her tribe, her sanctuary, her home. And in their embrace, she found solace, strength, and the promise of a brighter tomorrow.

Soon she broke the hug and said

Prathiksha : I am getting late, let's go down stairs everyone is waiting for us, and I think I have left my phone here have anyone of you seen it

Shreyas : Here take it, we thought of you giving this in the morning but amidst all this just forgot he said handing over it to her

Prathiksha : Thank you

Rohit : By the way who is this ryan assistant manager huh??

Prathiksha : Oh God did you lift his phone

Virat : Yeah, and he was asking our details

Prathiksha : I have kept it ready, for this he called me two times yesterday and messaged ten times, from his talks I guess he is a complete hell extrovert and a crack head, right now he will be working under me with the England team and he might join you guys soon because it might take time for the senior manager to join you all
