Sanskar was pacing outside the ward of his cousin sister in the hospital. There were a lot of questions in his mind. But, Concern about his sister condition took over all the questions and he looked at his sister though the glass in the door.

To clear his worries, a lady doctor came out with a smiley face.

"what is her relationship with you, Mr.Sanskar?"Doctor asked.

"My sister."Sanskar said with a worried face.

"She is safe now, Mr.Sanskar. She is just stressed. But, that much stress is not good for her or her baby. Take care."Doctor advised while Sanskar rooted in his place.

"She got consciousness now. You can take her with you. ensure that she comes for monthly check ups."After giving permission, Doctor left . Sanskar walked inside the ward. By hearing footsteps, Vividha turned to see the person who saved her.

"Bhaiyu!"Vividha whispered while her hands placed on her stomach subconsciously and fear occupied in her face.

Sanskar's face tightened by seeing fear traces in his sister face that too by seeing him.

"Choti!"His painful voice brought tears in his sister's eyes and she nodded down her head in guilt for her action.

"Don't tell about me to maa or papa."Vividha said. Sanskar looked at his sister questioningly.

"They will kill my baby."Vividha cried.

"Then, what the hell you tried to commit suicide, Vividha?"Sanskar hissed in his pain.

"I thought to end my life rather living as a prosti..."Vividha's non-finished reply made Sanskar shut his mouth.

In a second, he hugged his sister while she lost herself in her memories.

At an unknown place,

The crying face of Maheshwari siblings flashed in the laptop screen. Atharv watched their every move and expressions with a composed face.

At last, Two tears rolled from his eyes.

"I still wish Vidhu that you might not be Maheshwari."He said in a dry voice then let out a bitter smile.

He stood then walked towards the basement. With a click sound, he opened the door by spreading the light inside the room.

He walked towards Arjun who was looking at him with dry smile.

"you know what darkness could do to me. But, still..."Arjun's voice sounded in disappointment.

"Those memories and pain needed to be remember forever, Arjun. Otherwise, we would fall weak."Atharv sounded serious then released Arjun from his bounds.

"But, I don't want to remember those memories."Arjun started to strangulate Atharv.

Atharv coughed for breathe but didn't protest. By seeing his friend's struggle, Arjun took back his hand and realized what he was going to do.

Atharv gave a devilish smile while rubbing his neck.

"That's the magic of darkness, Arjun. Here, nothing is wrong and right. Just the goal matters."Atharv muttered in a deep voice then sat on the chair .

"But, I don't want to be in this darkness anymore. Now onwards, I will handle the company And, you can handle your dark world alone."Arjun stressed.

"Don't you know death is the only way to go out of this world?"Atharv asked while pointing his gun on Arjun's forehead.

Arjun crossed his hands and then looked at Atharv.

"Go on, Atharv. I won't stop you if that's the only way."Arjun said then Atharv dropped his gun then tossed towards the corner of the room .

Arjun walked with a smirk in his face.

"Leave me alone."Atharv said and then turned towards the wall.

"you know I always payback with interest, Atharv. Whether that's happiness or pain, I always payback more than what they give me."Arjun said in a deep voice while handcuffing Atharv hands behind his back.

"I know this darkness is nothing to you. But , I know what gives you pain. Thus, I will make you go through that."Arjun said .

"No, you can't do this to ..."Atharv's voice cut in middle by a gag and then Arjun made Atharv sit on a chair forcefully then played a video.

"You want me to be a beast then bear the consequences."Arjun said in a merciless tone. Their men stood outside of the room silently as there was a rule that even if one kills another, no one shouldn't interfere.

Atharv's eyes widened in pain which his heart went through and his inner wounds rubbed again to make it fresh. Atharv closed his eyes but the crying sound from the video haunted him to his core. That's just a 30 seconds video but the pain...

He squealed and cried in pain by remembering the awful memories while Arjun stood at a corner silently, holding back his soft corner feelings for his friend. He knew how much the video inflects pain in his friend's heart, but that's the only string which held back his friend to not lose himself in darkness. His pain could turn him into beast at any time but his friend's pain stalled his friend from becoming a cold hearted murderer.

Atharv finally became silent then Arjun released him from his bounds and looked at the exhausted face of him.

"you will regret ,Arjun."Atharv threatened even in that state while Arjun ignored his friend and tossed him over his shoulder.

He put Atharv on his bed then took out a sleeping tablet and put it in a glass of water. Atharv didn't even in the state to notice his surroundings.

'Have this."Arjun said then kept the water near atharv's mouth. Atharv felt the dryness of his throat and had the water without a word. His eyes lids closed in few minutes.

Arjun sighed and then came out of his room.

"If I am being with you in this dark world, in real I will became beast, Atharv. I don't want to, and I will never let you lose yourself in this darkness ."Arjun murmured to himself.

At Hospital,

Sanskar called Swara.

"hello Sanskar!"Swara's voice sounded in rejoice.

"Swara, I need a help. Can my sister stay in your house for few days?"Sanskar asked.

"Take my Nanad(Sister-in-law) to our house, soon."Swara finished in the same voice then disconnected the call.

Her lover's sudden request and his tone worried her but she decided to wait until Sanskar would come to her house.

Even the drizzling halted and the sun started to shine over the city. While the warmth after few hours of continuous rain and drizzling , comforted everyone in the city.

"Shona"Ayub Khan, Swara's god father, entered into his house with famous sweets which were named as malpua and lancha and some snacks.

"baba!"Swara squealed in happiness that her godfather came nearly after a week. Ayub , the right hand of hand of Raguvendar singh rathore, had left his house frequently for his business trips. Swara never asked about his business while Ayub never shared about his business details with Swara even by mistake. For her, her baba was running a furniture shop. Like every human , he also holds flaws but his one quality made him shine like a star that was his honesty and the way he kept his words.

Swara descended from the stairs fastly. By hearing the sound from outside, Ragini stood from the floor and then entered into wash room to clean her face. Aarav placed the file under the secret portion of his bag then came outside.

"Good evening, Jathu uncle."Aarav wished Ayub khan.

"In just two years how much tall he become."Ayub khan wondered by seeing the little boy and his petite figure in past.

"Along with his height, even his tongue became long."Swara chirped playfully.

"Uncle, I want to tell you something."Aarav hesitated .

"Tell me little prince. What do you want to tell?"Ayub khan asked with a smile.

"I and my Rago can't be here as a guest for long. I know my father left us here for our safety. But, still we can't be burden for long. So, we will pay for the room atleast."Aarav finished then Ayub khan chuckled.

"ohh! Little prince, is it your father made you memorize this much big line?"Ayub said while patting the Aarav's cheeks playfully.

Aarav put his hands on hip and glared at Ayub khan as much he could.

"My little prince got anger on me."Ayub khan said then took over Aarav in his hold, started to tickle him.

Aarav started to laugh then Ayub stopped at a limit.

Ragini came outside and hid her smile under her calm face. In the mean time, Swara put the sweets and snacks in a plate and took it to the hall.

Ragini touched the sweet intentionally with her fingers while taking the snacks as both were in the same plate. While eating the snack, her tongue lightly touched her finger tip and her taste buds refreshed with the little sweetness.

"Rago di, I saw a tolet board in the next street. Can we speak with the owner once you back tomorrow?"Aarav asked for which Ragini nodded positively.

"Rago!"Ayub khan stressed his tone which jerked Ragini.

"Jathu uncle, why are you scaring my Rago di? it's you who didn't accept our proposal."Aarav turned the tables against Ayub.

"I will speak with your father."Ayub said.

"But, my decision will stand till last."Aarav retorted. For a second, Ayub khan glanced at the stubborn kid's face. His conscience doubted that the little boy whom he met few years back, was same or not. He sighed heavily.

"Aaru, you are my friend. How can I take money from you?"Ayub khan asked.

"How can I take help from my friend for free?"Aarav questioned back. Swara held her head as both weren't ready to leave their stand.

"Stop it."Swara yelled while the both glared her.

"Baba, Aarav is in his annual leave. So, you can take him to your shop and he will help you there. Problem is solved."Swara finished .

"But..."Ayub khan fumbled as that was not a normal shop.

"Jathu uncle, do you have any problem?."Aarav asked in his innocent tone then looked at Ayub khan while hiding his smirk.

"For just one month, that's ok. Moreover, Aaru is just a kid. He won't understand anything."Ayub khan thought.

"I am very happy. But, you are so stubborn Little prince."Ayub khan complained.

"Stubbornness defines him."Ragini said finally breaking her long silence.

"Papa, I wish you know what Aaru did at morning."Swara started to narrate the incidents and finally made her baba lost in laughter. A small grin occupied in Ragini's face while Aarav stayed in silence as that was no deal.

"he became more mature than his age."Ayub khan said then patted on Aarav's cheeks with love. Aarav just gave a smile.

"Ok, I am leaving for the shop. Shona, I won't come tonight. So, don't wait for me."Ayub khan said.

"Baba!"Swara stressed as she worried about his health.

"Just today"Ayub khan said with a smile then left the house.

"Aaru, lets play chess."Swara said then left to her room to take the chess board. Just then, Sanskar entered into the house along with his sister. He pressed the door bell .

"Rago, just see who is this."Swara shouted from her room. Ragini walked towards the door while Aarav followed her.

Ragini opened the door and her vision first fall on the lady .

"Choti!"Ragini whispered. Her whisper made Vividha look straight at her eyes.

"Bhabhi!" With a squeal, Vividha hugged Ragini. Sanskar got confused as he neither met Ragini before nor saw her photo.

While Vividha's hot tears drenched Ragini's shoulder, Ragini stumbled. Her anger and pain refreshed again. Her mind got into a struggle in between two decisions whether push and console her sister-in-law. Ragini closed her eyes and then reciprocated the hug.

Swara came downside and shocked to see Vividha. The past from which she wanted to save her friend, now was infront of her eyes. She felt an sudden anger urging inside her. Confused about Vividha's sudden presence, her vision fell on Sanskar who was standing with confused face.

"why are Maheshwari's here, Shona di?"Aarav asked. His tone reflected his hatred. Sanskar looked at the little boy's eyes which was reflecting the pure hatred. His heart wondered what he had done to earn the hatred of little boy.

"Aarav, Go to your room now."Ragini stressed her tone . Aarav huffed and glared the Maheshwari siblings once before he went to his room.

Ragini took Vividha to her room while Sanskar walked towards Swara.

"Are you maheshwari?"Swara asked. Sanskar looked at her being more confused about her question.

"Do you know my family? And she..."Sanskar pointed at the direction in which Ragini left with Vividha.

"How could I forget the sweet family of yours, Sanskar?"Swara said sarcastically.

"And she, yes, she was related to your family once. But, not now and never will be. So, Take your sister from here and leave my house."Swara hissed.

Sanskar taken back by seeing Swara's anger.

"I didn't know that we would disturb your friend,Swara. But, now my sister condition is not good. She already attempted suicide once and she is pregnant. I have to get my mother here and I can't leave her alone in my house. Please help me swara."Sanskar pleased.

Swara paused one second.

"Just for two days. But, please don't let your family come infront of her. And If I feel any wrong in her because of your family, consequences won't be good, Sanskar. You know about me."Swara threatened.

Sanskar got confused about his love's behavior but one thing was clear to him that his love hated his family and still it continues. He put the thoughts aside and nodded.

"Please take care of my sister."Sanskar pleased once again.

Swara looked at him being hurt by his tone. Sanskar couldn't understand Swara just felt somewhat he hurt her. He pressed his lips against her lips smoothly then went outside. All he could understand as a whole that his life was messed up and his sister need him.

He got into his car and drove towards Airport to go to Indore, his home town.

At Ragini's room,

Ragini was looking at the broken figure. Once, she thought Vividha would be her good companion to her in her in-law house. But, everything turned upside down.

Vividha realized what her surroundings were.

"I am sorry. I just..."Vividha murmured.

"It's ok, choti."Ragini said while caressing her head and vividha looked at her being emotional.

"First take bath. See, your dresses are smeared with sand and mud."Ragini said to distract her and offered her clothes.

"I have white dresses only."Ragini hesitated while Vividha took the dress with a bitter smile.

"I am also a widow now, Bhabhi."Vividha said then walked towards the attached washroom leaving the shocked Ragini behind. Then only, Ragini observed her sister-in-law. White dress and no ornaments including ear studs , Ragini sat on the bed.

"I hate your brother. I hate your family. But, I never wished to see you like me, choti."Ragini mumbled then turned as she felt someone's presence behind her.

Swara looked at her friend. That was the first time she heard her friend's confession that she hated her in-law house.

"you have wishes. You have desire to live normal life. I have seen you how you tasted sweetness, Rago. I have seen longing in your eyes. Move on from that unwanted marriage, Rago. "Swara said while holding her friend's hands.

Ragini took her hands from Swara's hold.

"That's my fate to stick with that marriage, Shona."Ragini murmured in a low voice as Vividha was in wash room.

"No, Rago. You are caging yourself. You moved out of the marriage long back. Then , for whom you are living this fake life?" Swara asked while holding Ragini's arm tightly.

"It's better to leave the conversation now."The voice boomed inside the room. Swara and Ragini turned and looked at Aarav who was standing at the room front with his angry face and red nose.

Aarav walked towards Swara and stood inbetween ragini and swara.

"I know Maheshwari's are guests like us. But, it would be better if they didn't disturb us with their relation."Aarav said sternly.

Ragini knelt to match her brother's height.

"Like me, she also lost her husband."Ragini said.

"Did they do like that to her also?"Aarav asked by remembering his memories.

Ragini nodded positively while Swara also knelt beside Aarav and turned him towards her.

"And there was a little baby inside her stomach. "Swara said while Ragini looked at her in surprise.

"  she is a very good girl. Do you remember even she gave chocolates to you when you met her first time? Even she helped you at instances. Now, it's your turn to help her."Ragini completed.

Ragini glanced at her brother's eyes which softened now.

"Will you help her and make her smile?"Ragini asked.

"I will"Aarav said while thinking.

"Sanskar said that she attempted suicide."Swara whispered in Ragini's ear. Ragini nodded as she understood.

"How do you know Sanskar?"Ragini asked in a sharp tone while looking at her friend.

Meanwhile , Vividha came out of the wash room. Aarav ran towards her.

"Is it a baby in your stomach?"Aarav asked. Vividha looked down the kid and remembered him.

"Yes."Vividha's tone sounded very soft.

"Vividha, have this juice. You are looking so tired. So, take some rest."Ragini said for which Vividha just nodded. She drank the juice slowly while Swara left with Aarav.

Ragini caressed her head.

"How much you had been broken, you shouldn't take such decisions, choti. And now, you have to be strong at least for your child."Ragini said.

Vividha bit her lips while controlling herself. Ragini looked at vividha's face which clearly told about her turmoil and struggle to not open up her past infront of Ragini.

"Don't stress, yourself. Have sleep for some time."Ragini said. Vividha just nodded and then lay on bed. The feelings of being secured gave warmth to her heart and soon, she drifted into deep sleep.

Ragini glanced at sleeping Vividha's face then sighed heavily. She walked towards the balcony and looked at the sun set.

"why this life is so hard?"Ragini murmured.

Back at Bhopal,

Meena was looking at her family picture and caressed her children face in the photo. Mohan looked at her from back.

"Just few days, meena. Then, we will get back to our children."Mohan said.

"How will we get back, Mohan? First we lost our Addu , then Ragini's life destroyed in front of our eyes, now even we have to sent our children at far. Why is it happening in our life, Mohan?"Meena's voice sounded in grief.

Mohan stepped forward and then hugged his wife.

"Everything will be fine, Meena."Mohan mumbled.

Meena silently sobbed while Mohan caressed her hair.

"I wish I could tell you about our Addu's death. I wish I could tell you that we are running to save our children lives. But, I can't see your break down, meena. I am sorry."Mohan thought.

At Indore,

Sanskar ran inside his house.

"Sanskar!"Durgaprasad was surprised by Sanskar's sudden arrival.

Sanskar bended to take blessings. Annapurna smiled while Sujata looked at Sanskar from her room to see her son. In few minutes, everyone settled in their places.

"Bademaa, where is choti?"Sanskar asked intentionally. His sister's expression at hospital already told him a half part.

Annapurna nodded her head down.

"She went for a college trip."Durgaprasad lied.

"ohh!"Sanskar nodded while analyzing their expression.

"Badepapa, Can I take Bademaa with me? Nowadays, I am not feeling well because of food."Sanskar started the conversation.

"But, she is having lot of responsibilities here."Parvati sighed.

"you can take Sujata with you."Durgaprasad said.

"That bad omen? She will make my grandson's condition more worse just with her eyes.."Parvati taunted. 

Anger started to bubble at Sanskar's heart.

"with the same statement, you snatched my mother from my childhood. Now, you can't."Sanskar thought.

"Sujata will go with our Sanskar. That would be far better, now."Durgaprasad declared.

"Ok, Badepapa. Then, we are leaving tonight . I have to attend an important client meet tomorrow. But, if Bademaa would have come with me, I would be happy."Sanskar said in a fake disappointment without knowing the pain he was inflecting in his mother's heart.

Soon, After Sanskar and sujata left to the airport. Sujata stayed in silence and she never thought that one day speaking with her son would make her feel awkward. She even forget when she spoke with her normally even saw his face clearly. Sanskar glanced at her mother's face at every few minutes. He wanted to tell so much but he struggled with words. His hand slowly marched towards his mother hands then held it tightly. Sujata's eyes widened then turned to look at her son. By seeing her son's teary eyes, her eyes turned teary.

"Bujju!"Sujata whispered while Sanskar nodded his head then signed about the driver's presence in the car. Sujata turned her face. Her life was no lesser than golden cage and little bit now she understood, in the name of good life, she caged her son also.

Back at Kolkata,

The sun couldn't be seen in the sky but still the orange shades left over to be occupied by darkness soon.

She looked at the sky. That was her favorite time pass .

"How much beautiful the rainbow is, today?"Ragini looked at the rainbow in the sky while walking in the college corridor and bumped into another.

Her books which were in her hands fell down along with another's books.

"I am sorry."Ragini mumbled .

"It's ok."Another said with a smile.

"Here, your books are."Another handover the bunch of books.

"Thanks."Ragini said. He gave her a smile.

"I am Lakshya."He said while extending his hand for handshake.

"I am Ragini."She said.

"I know."Laksh said.

Ragini raised her eye brows in doubt.

"And, I never thought I would meet one of the famous duo kathak dancers of this city that too in my college."Lakshya wondered.

"Rago!"Meena's voice made her turn while meena walked towards her and looked at Lakshya , who was standing with bag and books in his hand, questioningly.

Lakshya hurriedly opened his book and extended to meena.

"Mam, could you please give me your autograph? I am very big fan of yours."Lakshya said.

Meena took the book with a smile and signed at the corner then Lakshya turned to Ragini. Ragini also signed in it.

"Thanks mam!"Lakshya said then excused himself by leaving the mother and daughter alone.

"Ragini, I have spoken to Principal also. He will help you if you need any help."Meena said then looked at Ragini.

"Do you like this college?"Meena asked.

"Maa, this college is awesome. They are having a big basket ball court."Another one exclaimed from back.

"Addu!"Meena patted on her son's cheek with the same smile.

"I also like this college, maa. This is so quiet."Ragini said then looked at her brother.

"Mr.Aditya Mohan Prasad, you may have passed in school with grace marks. But , At least now be bit serious and study properly. Otherwise, you won't get a single job."Ragini taunted her twin brother.

"Huh! I will be house husband."Aditya shrugged his shoulders.

Ragini gasped for a second.

"Maa, be ready for his bidaai. I think he will become Ghar Jamaai."Ragini said dramatically.

"My Addu won't go anywhere by leaving his maa. You don't worry, Addu. Mumma and Papa will setup a Paan shop for you."Meena said while hiding her smile.

"Maa! Sweet shop would be better."Aditya suggested while both the ladies slapped him on his shoulder while Mohan side hugged his son.

"'Addu Sweet shop, the palace of sweets' How is it Addu?"Mohan asked with fake serious expressions.

"Papa! you are also joining in their side."Aditya pouted.

"I ...will be ...with you, bhai...yu"Aarav finally finished his sentence by making everyone chuckle.

"Haan! Until my cute aaru with me, why would I worry?"Aditya said by taking his little brother in his hand and then pinching at the nose tip of Aarav.

"I am not cute... And, don't... don't... pinch my nose."Aarav said while glaring his brother and then tapped on his brother's head.

"Mumma..."Aarav turned and opened his hands as a sign to take him in her embrace. Aditya shook his head in disbelief by seeing his little brother's anger.Meena took Aarav in her embrace.

"Maa, we are leaving to the class."Ragini said then held her twin brother's hand. Both waved their free hands to their family then walked towards the class.

In an impulse, she turned in a feeling as she had a feeling to be stalked.

"what happened Rago?"Aditya asked.

"Nothing Addu. Let's go to our class."Ragini said while tightening her grip on her brother's hand.

Lakshya came out of his hideout.

"I will hold those hands soon. And, no one could stop me even you." Lakshya murmured with evil grin on his face.

"Where are you, Addu?"Ragini murmured as she was missing her brother badly.

"Rago"Swara entered into the dark room as Ragini stayed in balcony for a long time. Swara switched on the light while Ragini wiped her tears.

Ragini turned and felt pain in her foot as she stood for hours by losing herself in her memories.

"Dinner is ready. I will wake up Vividha."Swara said.

"I should have helped you."Ragini said in a guilty voice.

"It's ok, Rago."Swara said with a smile and held by her shoulders.

"let's wake up Vividha."Swara said then patted on Vividha's shoulders.

"Let me sleep some more time, Aadi!"Vividha murmured subconsciously.

"Vividha!"Ragini called her name once and then vividha slowly woke up.

"Dinner is ready."Swara said.

After a hour, Dinner went very smoothly without any talk . Vividha stayed in hall along with others. Then, Sanskar arrived with his mother Sujata to his house then called Swara.

"Swara, could you take my sister to my house? I don't want to disturb bhabhi."Sanskar said.

"ok"Swara replied then took Vividha to Sanskar's house which was five buildings after her house.

Swara knocked the door then Sanskar opened it.

"Vividha!"Sujata gasped in shock.

"you are alive!"Sujata whispered then hugged her niece tightly.

Swara gave a confusing look then left to her house by giving them their space. Again silence occupied the space in Sanskar's house.

At Ragini's room,

Ragini woke up with feeling of touching on her foot. She saw her little brother who was massaging her foot.

"Aaru!"Ragini tried to get her foot and succeeded in her attempt.

"is it the pain reduced now?"Aarav asked. Ragini glanced at her brother and then opened her hands. Aarav hugged her then rested his head on her hand.

"Didi, I have a gift for your new job."Aarav said.

"hmm! What is my little brother wanted to gift his sister?"Ragini asked. Aarav sat on bed , then moved towards the drawer which was nearby bed.

Ragini switched on the light while Aarav gave her a glass doom.

She saw a pair of white and black roses inside the glass doom.

"Do you know what it signifies didi? Black rose, I heard it signifies rebirth of a person while white rose signifies hope. The life which you live , think that it has been ended today. With the new job in this new place, think that you are reborn to start a new life with a hope for the future , like a phoenix. And, it's not you who you are now."Aarav said then placed his head on Ragini's head. Ragini looked at her brother being perplexed. She never expected such meaningful words from her little brother. For the first time, She started to analyze her brother's actions. The realization about maturity of her brother made her feel guilty. In the past four years, what did she do other than caging herself ? Even when her parents failed to persuade her to continue her studies, it's her brother who succeeded in persuading her. Being an elder, she should have been her brother's mentor , protector, care taker and should had stood for him. Did she do anyone of it in these four years? No... She distanced herself from her family for a reason. But, it 's her brother who bonded her with her family. He became her protector, care taker, solace and even some times mentor.

While different thoughts hovering on her mind, she kissed on her brother's forehead.

"At least for you, I will try to break this cage, Aaru."Ragini murmured while Aarav smiled in his sleep.

The Sun rise to give a new day to everyone's life.

Arjun woke up early morning being irritated because of a call from his office.

"Arjun sir, what happened suddenly? Why did CEO fire you even black listed you in the record? Please speak with CEO sir." His assistant advised.

"Very Good news at morning."Arjun thought in sarcastic tone then cut the call without answering back. He saw messages from bank that all the money was debited from all his accounts. He sighed heavily.

He stood while heard a knocking sound on his door.

He opened the door and saw Atharv who was standing with a smirk. He ignored him and let the door be open.

"you might have known your state, Arjun."Atharv said.

"Here , it's your new assignment from me. You have to kidnap this child for me."Atharv continued with the evil grin and tossed a file on the bed.

"I already said I won't be part of any of your illegal things, Atharv. I will never."Arjun said in a determined tone.

"You will do my illegal activities in your willingness."Atharv said.

"you snatched my job and money. but, if you think that would make me surrender to you, then you are wrong. Even I will die in hunger or live like a beggar but I won't work for your illegal business, my dear friend."Arjun said.

"Let's see."Atharv said while shrugging his shoulders and left the fuming arjun behind. Arjun took a deep breath and walked outside.

"Only he could help me now."Arjun thought and drove his bike .

At Swara's house,

Swara and Ragini got ready to step into the new segment in their life, their first day at Job. Both took blessings and wishes from their beloved persons in person and through call. Then, They left towards their new office while Ayub khan's men followed them in far for their safety. Ayub khan took Aarav to his shop.

Arjun reached Ayub khan's shop . Aarav was dusting the furniture with small broom by neglecting Ayub khan's pleadings.

"hey Chotu, Go and get a tea for me."Arjun ordered with attitude by misunderstanding Aarav as worker.

The worker boy came forward to answer as he knew Arjun as Atharv's men but Aarav signed him to step out.

"Yes, he is not here. If you wish to see the furniture, Babu will explain you. And, it's furniture shop not a tea stall. Tea stall is there if you entered here by mistake." Aarav replied with same attitude.

Arjun looked at the worker babu while the worker pleased him through eyes.

"Chotu Malik, he is Ayub baba partner's friend. I will get tea for you, bhaiya."The worker informed Aarav and pleased Arjun. Arjun understood

"No need to go, babu da. Even jathu uncle gave respect to all of us irrespective of age and position. Then, Why can't he?"Aarav hissed at babu then turned to Arjun.

"Mister, Ayub uncle will be here in few minutes. Till then, you can sit there and wait for him. If you ask politely, Babu will get Tea for you."Aarav declared and pointed a chair at corner.

Babu looked at Aarav worriedly as no one would dare to talk to Arjun in this tone. He couldn't tell Arjun's real identity to Aarav. Babu held Aarav hands and hid him behind him.

"Bhaiya, he doesn't know anything about you. I will go..."Babu said with fear in his eyes.

"No need. I am sitting there."Arjun said and walked towards chair after glaring Aarav. Aarav shrugged and signed babu to bend towards him.

"Buy a tea along with a biscuit packet for him, babu dada. Seems like, he doesn't eat anything from morning."Aarav ordered and then continued with his dusting work.

Babu nodded his head affirmatively then left the shop to buy a tea and biscuit packet.

On the other hand,

In a Temple at the outskirts of Kolkata,

Atharv was just wearing a dhoti and sat before the priest. A Photo of 17 to 18 year old boy, whose face looked similar to Aarav, kept before the fire .

"What is the name of the person to whom you want to do the memorial?"Priest asked.

"Aditya Mohanprasad"Atharv answered.

"what were His parents name?"Priest asked.

"Mohan Prasad and Meena."Atharv answered .

"what is your relation with..."Priest stopped as Atharv pointed gun on his head while his vision rooted at Aditya's photo .

Priest started to chant mantra in fear while Atharv put his gun back on his dhoti hold.

" I had to kill you Aditya. But, I don't have any regrets."Atharv smirked then continued with the rituals.

In front of a huge building ,Ragini and Swara stood and stared the building.

"Shona!"Ragini mumbled and then extended her hand.

Swara smiled and held her hand.

Both stepped inside after an automatic door opened. They walked towards the receptionist.

"Excuse me, Mam, This is our call letter."Swara said while Ragini's eyes looked at the environment.

She had seen these types of huge buildings before but working on her own gave her a new feelings.

"Mam, please sign here and collect your ID card from security desk. Then, Take left then right. You could see auditorium. Please wait there."Receptionist said with a smile.

Swara then ragini completed the procedures for getting their ID then walked towards the auditorium.

Swara and Ragini sat at the middle row then a man sat beside Swara.

"Hello, I am Sathya."The man introduced himself and extended his hand for handshake.

"Hi, I am Swara "Swara said with a professional smile.

"I am Ragini."Ragini introduced herself.

"is it your first day here?"Satya asked to prolong the conversation.

"Yeah!"Swara said.

"I am so much excited! I literally waited for this day for the past six months. "Satya expressed his excitement. Ragini gave a small nod with calm face while Swara smiled by seeing his excitement.

Before he could continue, some of the office personnel's entered.

"Welcome you all to this big family..."A Man started his greetings speech in while the trio lost themselves in his speech.

At Ayub khan's shop,

Arjun sat on a chair and stared at the tea and biscuit packet with void eyes. Though his stomach grumbled in hunger, his hand didn't even budge to move to take either biscuit packet or tea. Aarav forgot about Arjun and then grossed himself in his work.

"Arjun"Ayub khan entered as Babu informed him about Arjun's arrival.

"Baba!"Arjun hugged Ayub khan then parted while Aarav walked towards Ayub khan.

"Jathu uncle, I dusted the furniture and also cleaned the table. Do you want me anything to do?"Aarav asked.

"you already did a lot of work, Little prince. So, take rest!"Ayub khan signed Babu .

"will you teach me Chess?"Babu asked with the chess board in his hand.

"Ok"Aarav nodded happily and held Babu's hands while Ayub khan signed Arjun to come inside the room.

"I need a job, Baba but I won't do any illegal work."Arjun said.

"Even, I have a job for you. It's not illegal but may be your gun is needed."Ayub khan said.

Arjun looked at Ayub khan questioningly.

"Before I give you a job, I need a promise that you won't back off at any time."Ayub khan demanded.

"I trust you, Baba. you won't give me a work which I can refuse. I promise I won't back off at any time."Arjun said.

Ayub khan stood and opened the curtain of window lightly to look at Aarav.

"The child you saw in my shop today, I want you to be his savior."Ayub khan muttered.

Arjun also stood up.

"Who is he?"Arjun asked.

"He is Aarav Mohanprasad."Ayub khan said.

"Mohan Prasad, The journalist who wants to destroy king?."Arjun asked in shock as the name was quite popular in his world.

Ayub khan nodded his head positively.

"But, his father has a lot of enemies other than King. That's why, I wanted you to safe guard him until he turns eighteen."Ayub khan said.

"why would you want to safeguard him baba? His father is the enemy of our king."Arjun asked.

"This is the only work I could offer you now."Ayub khan said without answering Arjun's question.

Arjun took a deep breath then nodded positively.

"Then, Shift your things to my house today itself, Arjun."Ayub khan said and came out of the room.

Aarav ran towards Ayub khan and whispered in his ear.

"Arjun, it's better if you have lunch with us."Ayub khan said in ordering tone while Aarav smiled genuinely.

Back at Ragini's office,

All the new joiners got their certificate verified. And, the lunch break was announced.

Swara ,Ragini and Sathya walked towards the cafeteria.

"I heard that Kolkata is famous for sweets. Let's have some sweets to celebrate our first day."Satya said.

"Sure satya."Swara replied.

"I will get sweets while you both can get meal token for me."Satya expressed his plan and swara obliged.

"No need to take for me."Ragini said while Satya looked at her with confused expression.

"She is bit allergic to sweets."Swara covered up. Satya just nodded then went away to sweets.

Swara sighed while Ragini was struggling with her inner conscience.

"Rago!"Swara held her friend supportively as her friend's inner struggle completely visible in her face.

"Why did I refuse? I thought to break the cage. Then, why?"Ragini thought.

"I can't."Ragini tried to reason but swara interrupted.

"It's ok, Rago. Let's get our meal token."Swara said then both walked towards the long waiting line.

After few minutes,

"why do this line move this much slow?"Swara complained as the line was moving like a tortoise.

"I will stand in your place. You can relax."Ragini said.

"Swara, have this sweet."Sathya said and extended a paper plate with gulab jamun.

Swara gave him a thanking smile and took a gulab jamun in her hand while he swallowed another.

"Huh! All my energy literally drained by standing in this line. Now only, I feel better"Swara said and moved a bit forward along with line.

"Gulab jamun is the secret of our energy."Sathya mimicked like the kid in original advertisement. Ragini smiled little while Sathya turned towards Ragini.

"Ragini, your ice cream. And, it's low fat ice cream. So, don't worry about diet."Sathya assumed.

"It's not like that."Ragini stuttered then took the ice cream.

"Maa, I want ice cream."Litte Ragini asked while heavy rain made the city drown .

"no ice cream. You will get fever."Meena said strictly while cooking for lunch.

"Maa!"Ragini pouted while Mohan signed her to come out.

"what did my princess want?"Mohan asked.

"ice cream"Ragini mumbled with sad face then lightened by seeing a vanilla ice cream cup in front of her eyes.

"Papa!"Ragini exclaimed happily while Mohan put his finger on her lips and signed about meena.

"Shh! Hide under this sofa. Go "Mohan said then Ragini hid under sofa.

"where did Ragini go? Even she wasn't with Addu."Meena complained openly as she couldn't hear her daughter's voice in her house then looked at her husband.

"Mohan, have you seen our daughter?"Meena asked.

"She may be gone to her friend's house."Mohan said casually.

"in this rain, How could you be this much careless?"Meena started to scold but her vision fell on the shawl of ragini's dress under Sofa and then she bended.

Ragini was licking the ice cream cup happily then Meena stood and saw her husband who was leaving the hall silently.

"Mohan"Meena called with fake sweetness in her voice and put her hand on her hip.

"Just a single ice cream"Mohan stuttered while Ragini came out .

"Mumma"Ragini turned and then looked at her father to save her.

"Both of you get ready to drink Kadha(a bitter homemade medicine)"Meena said then walked back to kitchen.

"Papa! princess!"Both looked at each other and sat on sofa with a sad face.

"three veg meals."Swara ordered and took the token while Sathya bended his head dramatically.

"Maharani ji, there is another line in which we have to wait for our food."Sathya showed the line in which all employee's were waiting to get their food.

Swara's eyes widened in shock.

"I can't, my legs "Swara cried then Ragini burst out in laughter by seeing her best friend's expression.
