'Papa please stop the car....' 7 year old terrified Aayan quivered
Jai who was furious and drunk didn't pay any heed to him...
'Papa you are driving too fast... I am scared... Please slow down... ' Aayan cried
Jai wiped his tears, which were blocking his vision and continued driving at dangerous speed...
'Please let's go home Papa... I want my Mumma...' Aayan sobbed
Jai clutched the steering wheel on Priyanka's mention and increased the speed....
'Papa...!!! I want my Mumma.... Let's go pleeaassee....' The terrified child begged holding his Father's arms with his tiny ones...
'Shut Up Aayan...! You will not go to your Maa...!!! She left us Okay ! From now on you don't have a mother.... ' Jai growls glaring at his son with his bloodshot eyes...
Aayan becomes more scared...
'But... ' he cried
'No buts Aayan sit quietly...' Jai scolds his son for the very first time
Aayan begins sobbing and Jai's heart breaks into million pieces seeing his son's tear stained face...
He slows down...
But just then a big SUV overtakes them and Jai loses his control over the steering....
'PAAAPPPAAAAA...... ' a scream followed by a screeching, crashing sounds fills the car...
**********END OF DREAM***********
Aayan opens his eyes terrified and wakes up from his sleeping position with a jerk....
Sweatbeads falling from his forehead, he was breathing heavily...
He cannot forget that unfateful day from last 19 years....
His anxious expression turns into a furious one, thinking about his parents...
He angrily throws away the quilt covering his body and gets down from his bed...
Just then his alarm on the phone starts to beep, which escalates his anger twice...
He picked up the phone and smashed it on the floor, breaking it into smaller pieces...
'Aaarrggghhhh, Leave me alone...!' he yells and punches the nearby wall, bruising his hand badly
He repeated this action until blood begin oozing out from the wound...
He didn't care about the wound, he was venting his anger out...
This happened everytime, whenever Aayan talked to his mother or father...
Last night he spoke to his mother, who wanted to invite him to his step brother Yash's 19th Birthday....
Which he declined, giving work as his most repeated reason, because he didn't want to see her...
He always hated his mother's new husband and his kids, luckily he didn't had to live with them thanks to Jai, who filed the custody case immediately after his divorce and won it for both of his children...
However, Priyanka didn't take much effort for keeping her children with her, because obviously she didn't think about them even once when she decided to marry Prateek Singhal, Jai's former advertiser and Business rival...
Even though Aayan wanted to ask so many questions to his parents, but he never got a straight answer, that's why he doesn't like to be around them and a mere talk with them makes him this monstrous person...
'Aayan Baba, Ved Baba is calling... ' his housekeeper Mrs. Kumar knocked the door...
Aayan stopped punching the wall and frowns looking at the mess he created
He wears his T shirt and opens the door, taking phone from Mrs. Kumar's hands who gasps seeing his bleeding hands...
'Baba... Your hands... ' she says horrified
'Not now Aunty... ' he warns her and she hesitantly steps back
'Yeah, Ved...??' Aayan asks in his professional tone
'I was trying to call you... Where is your phone... ' Ved asks
He looks at his smashed phone on the floor, whose pieces Mrs. Kumar was picking up..
'Yeah, I must have left it somewhere...' he replies...
'You broke it again, didn't you ?' Ved chuckles
'Yeah....' Aayan says scratching his head
This always works like this, no matter how angry Aayan is, talking to Ved always calms him down
'Did you speak to Aunty ? or Bade Papa ?' Ved asks
'Mom... ' Aayan sighs
'I'll tell you when we meet, I don't want to talk about it right now..'
'Yeah Okay... I was not going to ask about it... ' Ved says
'But you have to hear it anyway... ' Aayan says with a faint smile
'Ofcourse... ' Ved chuckles
'How is Naina Mom ? And Big Dad ?' Aayan asks
'They are good... Maa misses you a lot...' Ved said
Aayan smiles thinking about his Naina Mom, she was the only person he likes now...
After Priyanka left, Naina didn't leave him alone even for a second...
She missed her office to take Aayan's care....
She cried a lot, when Aayan and Ved were sent away to the boarding school after that incident
He clenched his hands thinking about that incident which took him away from his Naina Mom...
'I miss her too... Tell her that I will come to visit her soon... ' Aayan said
'Only her...?' Ved asks
'Yes.... Only her... ' Aayan states firmly
'Aayan, it's been 4 years you haven't seen Bade Papa, you practically stopped coming here after Nitaara Di's wedding ! Talking on the phone is not enough....' Ved sighs
'Ved... We have.... ' He begins
'I know, we have talked about it before, but he needs you Aayan...!' Ved tries to convince him
'I don't want to see him or his ex wife ! I only had one connection with them that was Nitaara... After she left, I don't find any sane reason to get back to that hell !' Aayan rages
'You are his only son Aayan... You just can't abandon him....' Ved argues
'We are not having this worthless conversation Ved... If you want to say something productive then say or else I am hanging up... '
Ved sighs
'I wanted to inform that, Your father is sick... We had to hospitalize him yesterday.... '
'Whhaatttt.....? What happened is he alright ???' Aayan panics and then is shocked at his own reaction
'See you care... ' Ved said
'Ved...!' Aayan states angrily
'Yeah he is fine, just his BP elevated... Now he is okay... Nitaara Di and Ananya are taking care of him.....' Ved informed
'Oh alright !' Aayan relaxed
'So are you coming ?' Ved asks
'How is Vansh ? And Your sister ? Did she finish her college ?' Aayan asks trying to change the topic
'Vansh is same...busy with his cinematography, he is working with some reality show aired now a days on MTV... And No my sister is in final year of her college....' Ved says
'So Bade papa is okay with his cinematography now ?'
'It's hard to tell... They still are showing cold shoulders to each other... I am staying away from all this.... Because I can't take sides afterall... You know my Dad, my Brother... Against each other.... A filmy situation... I don't know how Maa deals with them...' Ved sighs
Aayan laughs, which shocks Mrs. Kumar who is preparing his breakfast
'Aayan...?' Ved says after sometime
'Yes...?'
'Nice try to change the topic... But you have to answer this, Are you coming to visit Bade Papa...?' Ved asks
Damn
'I will think about it... ' Aayan huffs
'Good... '
'Now I have to go... I have work unlike you.... ' Aayan smirks
'Ha Ha... Nice try... But I am not pissed... ' Ved counters
'How do you manage to stay this calm...?' Aayan asks getting up from his chair
'That's a talent not everyone is gifted with... Especially angry birds like you... ' Ved says proudly
'Hey I am not...!' Aayan rages but then huffs falling for Ved's trick...
'See...'
'Yeah okay.... Bye for now....' Aayan says
'Yeah Bye... Do think about what I said.... ' Ved says
'Yeah I will....' Aayan replies uninterested and cuts the call...
Mrs. Kumar hesitantly walks towards him with first aid box in her hands
'Don't bother Aunty.... ' Aayan keeps her phone on the counter and walks inside his room...
Mrs. Kumar Sighs....
'God have mercy on Aayan Baba...' she prays
