Civil court premises...
4:00 pm..
Ananya jogs out of the court building to find Aayan and thank him...
She was overwhelmed by his gesture today and couldn't believe that he sacrificed his assets for her...
It was clearly evident to Ananya that the case she was alloted had nothing, it was fairly a one sided case with 99.9% chance of her losing it...
Yet, she was hopeful for that 0.1% miracle, which actually happened in the courtroom today, she won the case, which she was clearly losing, all thanks to Aayan...
Today he proved that whatever he was doing to make their marriage work, was not any new drama of his, keeping the person you love as your first priority was the solid proof of love....
Ananya was convinced that now, he won't do anything to harm her, he left that phase way behind and proved himself to be the best husband today...
She spots him and Alex outside the court premises walking towards their car, and runs towards him..
'Aayan...' she calls, and they turn back to look at her running towards them
Aayan had a faint smile on his face and Alex looked worried...
'Aayan... I wanted to...' she pants as she approaches them
'Congratulations Ananya, you won your very first case...!' Alex smiled and she smiled back
'I wanted to thank you for what you did back there... I owe you Aayan... And I really don't have any words to thank you enough...' Ananya said and Aayan smiled
'Yeah, that was quite a stunt he did there....' Alex frowned and Aayan glared at him
'Leave us alone will you...' Aayan says to Alex and he narrows his eyes at him
'You still can't behave as husband and wife, or else she will land into trouble...' Alex said and turned around to walk away
'Take care of that Deepak Mishra, I want him out of Ananya's firm by tomorrow...' Aayan says to Alex and he gives him a thumbs up while walking away
'What...! Why...?' Ananya asked scared
'How dare he mess with your career, had you guys been caught, the council would've taken away your license... Mishra wouldn't have faced any difficultly... I cannot risk you being around him, he will put you into such risks in future as well...' Aayan said fisting his hands
'I will leave the firm, don't do anything to his job, he is my mentor, he guided me in my first case...' Ananya tried to calm him down
'He fooled you alright, he knew that new lawyers are ready to do anything to get their first case, he took advantage of that, look at yourself, you knew that the case alloted to you was not strong, you knew that you guys are commiting a fraud, which would be counted as contempt of court, still you did it...! I don't blame you for this, you desprately wanted a case, but that Mishra, he knew that he was risking your career...' Aayan raged fisting his hands
'Aayan, please let it be...!' Ananya said
'How dare he mess with my wife's career and reputation ! I won't leave him Ananya, no matter how great you think he is, I know that the guy fooled you !' Aayan said angrily
'Let it go Aayan, for me... Please...' Ananya pleads and he sighs
He wanted to kiss her on the head, but they were still in the court premises so he refrained himself from doing that...
'Fine... But make sure you don't do this stupidity again... Okay...?' he said authoritatively and she smiled nodding
'Thank you so so much Aayan, I would've lost the...' she began but he cuts her off in between
'I will never let you lose sweetheart, you have suffered enough because of me, now it's my turn to make you the happiest woman in this earth, who gets everything she wants...' he smiled and tears filled her eyes
'You know I can't wipe them here, so please don't let them fall...' Aayan said and she chuckled wiping her tears
'Aayan, your flight has been booked at 6:30 today...' Alex informs him and he nods
'Where are you going...?' Ananya asks bewildered
'I need to meet the investors in Hyderabad tomorrow, and explain to them about the recent loss in this case, and assure them that I will reimburse the loss to them ASAP...' Aayan said scratching his head, he looked uncomfortable...
Ananya felt bad after listening this, and she looked at him guiltily...
'I am so so sorry, you have to face all this, because of me... I don't know what to say, I mean... You almost won the case, had I paid attention before then, I would've opted out of this case earlier, and you didn't have to do that... I am really sorry Aayan...' she said and Aayan wanted to hug her but he didn't do it...
'You have nothing to do with this sweetheart, Don't Worry, I will take care of it, and anyway it's like blessing in disguise you see...' Aayan smiles holding her hand...
'How...?' She asked
'I wanted to leave this city and go back to our hometown, and I know you want that too... Now that I don't have any land here, we can shift AV Tech to Delhi and live with our family...' Aayan said and Ananya looked at him dazed
'I just want to live with my Papa, Naina mom, Nitaara, You, Big Dad, Ved and Amayraa in our house now, I am done running away from my family... Also we can start our new family there...' He winked saying the last part and she blushed
'Don't worry about my loss, we will celebrate your victory tomorrow as I come back alright... And soon we will leave this place and go back to our family...' Aayan said kissing her knuckles and she looks at him shocked and then looks around to make sure no one saw that..
'Oh screw it ! Now the verdict has been given, no one can challenge it, Murthy got what he wants and I have no shame in saying that MY WIFE DEFEATED ME IN THE CASE....' he yells the last part and Alex who was standing near the car looks at him shocked and so does Ananya who was terrified
'Aayan....' she places her palm over his mouth to shut him up and he looks at her amused
He removes her hands and hugs her kissing her head, she sighs at this, and hugs him back...
'Thank you once again... I love you...' Ananya said and he smiled
'Anything for you...and I love you too...' Aayan says and they leave each other
'Come back soon, I'll miss you...' Ananya says holding his hands
'I'll miss you more...' he kissed her hands
'You really want her to lose the practicing license, don't you...? Leave her now, we got to go... Come...' Alex said and dragged Aayan along with him towards the car and he pouts
Ananya chuckled at this and Aayan blew a kiss towards her, she pretended to catch it and returned it back
'God ! you two... Get in, Idiot...' Alex pushed Aayan inside the car and Then got into the front seat...
'Byee...' Aayan shouts and waves
'Bye...' Ananya says and laughs at his antics...
New Delhi...
Jai's house...
8:30 pm...
'Sameer, who taught you to play counter strike...!' Jai exclaimed holding his gaming console, his eyes fixed on screen
'I used to play with my friends and sometimes with Yash...' Sameer replied, his eyes fixed on the screen too..
'Really..? I thought you would be a nerd as a kid, like my Aayan...' Jai said
'I was a brat of a Kid Uncle, everyone thought that I will turn out to be my father's advanced version... But, thankfully my mom's genes kicked in, on time..' he chuckled and Jai laughed
'I am thankful for that too, You know, Aayan always used to behave like his stubborn mom, till he got married... Thank god, Ananya knocked his senses, or else I would've sent him to another boarding school...' Jai laughed and Sameer joined him
Just then Jai throws a grenede at Sameer's base camp in the game and destroys it...
'Indestructible Jai Wins' the screen showed and Sameer looks at him shocked
'Uncle, not fair...! You distracted me with the talks...!' Sameer whined
'Lesson for today, always keep an eye on your enemy and don't talk to him during the game....!' Jai grinned and Sameer huffs
'You were good kid ! But I am indestructible !' Jai said proudly
'That's what your ID says too...' Sameer chuckled
'Are you hungry...?' Jai asks getting up
'Yeah...' Sameer gets up and turns off the game
'Come, let's cook something...' Jai says
'You can cook...? Wow...!' Sameer said surprised
'Arre I am an excellent cook...! But ofcourse your step mom and brother never appreciated that, only my Nitaara and Ananya loved my cooking...' Jai said and Sameer frowns on Priyanka's mention
Jai saw this and then pats his shoulder
'Don't hate the woman who raised you...' Jai said softly
'Sometimes I wonder, whether it was her love or just the guilt...' Sameer sighs
'She was beyond my understanding always, I don't even know whether she ever loved anyone in her life...? I mean she was indifferent to her own children.... I wonder how can be nice to you and that brat...' Jai frowned
'I don't want to discuss that woman Mr. Varma...' Sameer said irritated
'Me neither... But just go and see your father once, I hear he is a mess since you left...' Jai said
'He deserves it...' Sameer said angrily
'No son, no father deserves his own children's indifference, it kills you inside, I would never want, even my worst enemy to bear that pain, because I know how it is...' Jai said and tears filled his eyes
'I am so sorry Mr. Varma, I didn't mean to....' Sameer began, but Jai quickly wiped his tears and smiled
'Hey, I am fine... My son is back to me now, and I know that everything will be okay for you too...' Jai smiled and Sameer hugged him tightly, crying on his shoulders
'You are very brave champ, you took it well than my Aayan, and see now that he is happy, I am sure you will be too one day...' Jai patted his back and he nods
'Just meet him okay, and I will respect whatever you decide... Just remember, your Uncle's house is always open for you, I promised your mother to take care of you...' Jai said Sameer left him and nodded
'Don't cry kid, you are just like Aayan to me... And It hurts to see your children cry...' Jai wipes his tears and Sameer smiles
'Mom was very stupid to leave you...' Sameer said
'Yeah she was a brainless witch, her loss... Not mine...' Jai said proudly dusting his own shoulders and Sameer chuckles at this...
'JAI....! JAI.....' They hear Arjun's voice booming from the hall and look at each other bewildered
'JAI ! COME OUT AND SEE YOUR SON'S ACT....!' Arjun yells again and Jai and Sameer rush towards the hall
They see Arjun fuming in anger and Ved standing behind him, with a scared expression
'What happened Arjun, why are you shouting...?' Jai asked
'Your son is a cheater !' Arjun sneered
'What...!' Jai asks shocked and Sameer understood what this can be about...
'Yes ! Your son Aayan ! Cheated on my Daughter right in front of her...!' Arjun said angrily
'What nonsense Arjun...! He may be arrogant, but cheating...? Never...!' Jai defended and Ved sighed
'Ooo really... Than what is this...?' Arjun tossed his phone at him and Jai catches it haphazardly, and then played the video
Sameer looked at the video too and closed his eyes in frustration, massaging his temples...
'You screwed up badly this time Aayan...' he muttered to himself which unfortunately Jai heard
'What do you mean this time...?' Jai asked and Sameer panicked
Arjun heard that too and looked at Sameer
'You mean he did something like this before as well..?' Arjun asked and Ved too looked at him shocked
Shit ! Shit ! Shit...! Ananya will kill me...
'No...no... He didn't do anything like this before...' Sameer panicked seeing their scrutinizing gaze at him...
'Don't lie Sameer...' Jai warned
'Don't do this to your best friend Sameer, tell us what else did Aayan do....' Arjun said
'I... I promised Ananya that I won't say anything...' Sameer stammered
'It's the matter of her life Sameer, please tell us what you know...' Ved requested and Arjun - Jai nodded
'Please don't misunderstand Aayan sir, he.. He doesn't know what he is doing, and before I tell you anything, please understand that Ananya knows about his deeds and has countered all his stupid actions very smartly, so she is not really the victim, she knows everything....' Sameer said and they look at him shocked
'Tell us what you know...' Arjun says losing his patience and Sameer sighed
He narrated all the events which he knew, and whatever Ananya told him, kissing Ritika was something new to him as well...
Arjun fisted his hands listening to all this and Jai - Ved were shocked...
'That son of a bitch...!' Arjun gritted and Jai was speechless
'Papa, we know only Annie's side of story, that too from Sameer, let's not conclude anything without listening to both of them...' Ved said
'You are seriously justifying his actions here Ved, what kind of brother are you... He is a cheater and cheating is in his blood !' Arjun said angrily and Jai lost his cool at this
'You are saying this...?' Jai countered him angrily...
'I would've lied to Naina Jai, but never after marriage alright... If I had any intentions to cheat, I wouldn't have told her everything, that too on the very day of our marriage...!' Arjun replied, Ved and Sameer didn't say anything to this
'Your son, married my daughter for a stupid revenge ! And cheated ! Right in front of her ! This is infidelity...' Arjun exclaimed angrily
'Why didn't Ananya say anything to us....?' Jai asked Sameer
'She wanted to teach him a lesson herself...' Sameer said and they sighed
'I am bringing my daughter back here, and she will live in my house, and will divorce that cheater son of yours...!' Arjun declared and Ved looks at him scared
'Papa, please don't decide anything in haste ! Please listen to both of them first...' Ved requests
'My daughter will not live the life, I made her mother to live before our wedding alright...! I will take her away from that boy ! She will live with her father, whether you like it or not....' Arjun said glaring at Ved
'Sir, Ved is right, please talk to Ananya before you decide anything.... There must be a reason that they are still together even after so many differences...' Sameer said
Jai was silent now, he was ashamed of Aayan's actions and angry on him for this...
Arjun took a deep breath and thought for a while...
'Okay, I will talk to both of them tomorrow...but if my daughter doesn't want to live with him, I won't listen to anyone after that...' Arjun said and Sameer - Ved sigh in relief
'I will come with you too...' Jai said and Arjun just looked at him and then left without saying anything..
'I'll arrange the tickets, Sameer will you come with us too...?' Ved asked
'No Ved, I think you guys should do this without a stranger's presence...' Sameer said
'You are not a stranger...' Ved said
'Yeah I know, But still, I don't think I should be there...' Sameer said and Ved nodded
Jai looks at Sameer, 'Call Aayan, right now...! I want to talk to him...' He orders angrily
'Bade Papa, I don't think...' Ved began
'He has to answer all my questions right now Ved ! How can he fall so low...?' Jai said angrily and Ved had no answer to this..
'Call him...!' Jai orders and Sameer hurriedly dials Aayan's number
'It's out of reach...' Sameer informs them
'This boy is dead tomorrow...' Jai said and angrily walked upstairs
Sameer and Ved look at each other worriedly
Aayan was in a big trouble...
Next Day...
Bangalore...
9:00 am
'I still don't believe that Aayan Baba did that...' Mrs. Kumar exclaimed
'He did that Pappy...! He really did that ! Now I can say that he changed...' Ananya said happily
'All because of you my dear....' Mrs. Kumar said
'I didn't do anything...'
'You not leaving him, made him realise his love for you...' Mrs. Kumar smiled
'Everything is fine now Pappy, and let's hope it remains like this forever...' Ananya said
'It will be baby, You, Aayan baba and Amayraa baby will live happily now...' Mrs. Kumar said and she smiled
'Okay, I have to leave for office now Pappy, Aayan will be back by 5... I spoke to him in the morning....Let's make something special for him to cheer him up...' Ananya said, and gets up from the chair
'Okay, I'll make both of yours favourite dishes, to celebrate your victory and cheer baba up...' Mrs. Kumar replied
'Okay... Bye pappy, Bye Baby....' Ananya kissed Amayraa's cheeks
'Annieyy... Don't go...' Amyraa pouts and Mrs. Kumar and Ananya awwed at this...
'Awww my cutie, I'll be back by evening with Aaya... Then we will have fun... Okay...?' Ananya pulls her cheeks and she grins
'Alright see you Pappy...' Ananya takes her bag and walks out of the house..
On the way to the bus stop...
Ananya was walking towards the bus stand, with earphones on and listening to the songs
She didn't realise that a black SUV raced towards her, which didn't have any numbers on the number plate..
It halted just beside Ananya and she was pulled inside the car by two bulky men and the car immediately raced away from there...
Ananya didn't have any chance to scream or run away, because she was caught in a gripping hold by one man and her mouth was covered by the other..
The car sped towards a deserted road, and she was meanwhile struggling to get out of their hold by kicking them, and try to free her mouth so that she can scream...
She bit the hand of the man covering her mouth and he hissed and left her
'What the.. Who are you guys and how dare you pull me inside the car like this...!' She yells at them and kicks the other goon, who yelps in pain
'You love to fight for the justice of poor people right... Now fight for yourself...!' One goon spoke
'Leave me or else I will shout...' she warned
'And who will hear you here...' the driver spoke and she glared at him
'Snatch her phone you idiot...! What kind of kidnapper are you...' The driver said and the other man snatched her phone, but she already sent her location to Aayan and Ila..
'Our boss lost the case because of you, and you are asking him for help...? Stupid girl...' The goon smirked looking at the phone and threw it outside the car
Ananya looked at him shocked...
Their boss...? Aayan...? He sent them..?
'Don't lie...' Ananya says terrified
'What are you ? My mother ? That I should not lie to you...?' the goon sneered
'What will you do with me...?' Ananya asked scared
'Let me show you...' Goon said and the driver increased speed of the car
The other goon opened the door of the speeding car and Ananya looked at them horrified
'Noo.. Please no...' she pleads
'Here is a message from our boss...' The goon smirked and played a recording
'What made you think that I will change...! Stupid girl...!' she hears Aayan's voice and looks at the goon terrified
The man holding her pushed her out of the moving vehicle and she rolled across the road, her head hitting the stone, and everything was black...
