"Shub let's just cancel this please, I don't want to go there."

"Sara one or the other day you must face your brother and your parents so why not today. And moreover I am there with you please don't be scared."

She sighed knowing he was very adamant and wouldn't listen now. She decided to leave everything on fate now and dropped herself on his chest who held her carefully.

After a few hours they finally landed in Mumbai. Shubman covered his face with a mask and a hat so that no one could capture them.

"Let's do one thing. From here we will  book a hotel and then get fresh and then go to your house."

"Hmm."

"Hey baby please don't be nervous or scared. Here look at me."

He said holding her face in his hands making her face him.

"Don't you trust me baby?"

"I do. More than myself."

"Then please have faith in me, I will make everything alright."

She nodded with tears in her eyes and hugged him.

"I will always be with you my strong girl. Okay, for now let's walk."

They together booked a cab and then reached the hotel. Shubman booked them a room and asked Sara to go ahead and he would come back with the food.

Sara when opened the room finally smiled, watching the view. It was breathtaking with the sea view. She sighed, after so many days she was watching this sea.

"I really missed this place and this beautiful sea. It feels good to be back to be honest but.."

Her thoughts again went in the same direction until she heard Shubman calling her in from the balcony.

"What you have not freshened up yet see I brought us some pav bhaji."

He said grinning and she smiled.

"No I didn't, pehle you go then I will go."

"Ok as you say."

One by one they fresher up and then ate the food which he had brought.

"Ahh feels so good, eating this after so long."

"Ikr even I am eating this after a year. Diet ki wajah se chance hi nahi milta hai."

"It's okay I will learn to make this only for you."

"Shub..you are so sweet. I love you."

"Love you too."

He smiled dropping a kiss on her head.

"Accha let's go now."

She kept sitting on her place even though he had gotten up. When he looked back she was lost in her thoughts.

"Sara..Sara..Saraa."

"Huh.."

"Let's go baby it's time."

"Hmm let's go."

She finally gathered up her courage and got up. He again booked a cab and they went to her house. When Sara was standing infront of the house all the memories rushed back into her head.

From her playing in the garden with Arjun, to them having a mud fight with their parents, her first day of school where Arjun had cried more than her, when she came home with a bruise on her hand once how he had hot the spot just because it had hurt his sister to all the drama of that day.

She felt her hand moving and looked at it only to see Shubman intwining their hands and looking at her with a smile. He gave a gentle squeeze to her hand as if assuring her that he was here for her.

"Let's go."

"Let's go."

Sara rang the bell and waited for someone to open it, opened by their very old maid whose eyes immediately watered looking at Sara after so many days.

"Sara humara baccha."

She whispered hugging Sara and crying while even Sara's eyes turned moist.

"Mai thik hu aunty aap kaise hai?"

"Hum sab badhiya sirf tumhara Kami rehta hai. Ashish toh bahut miss krta tha tumhe. Ab pura 10th mai aa gaya hai."

"Even I missed him aunty jab aayega tab mil lungi."

"Ha ha jaroor. Aur ye kaun hai ladka? Boyfriend aa?"

Sara blushed at the mention of boyfriend and Shubman smiled. She again held his hand and brought him closer.

"Yes he is Shubman Gill. My boyfriend."

"Aiyaa yeh toh cricketer hai na?"

"Haa aunty cricketer hai aur hum London saath mai padhte the tab mila ye ladka mujhe."

"Bada pyaara hai. Aree tum log andar aao na bahar kyu khada hai?"

As she gave them way, they entered inside and reached the living room with Shubman still trailing behind Sara holding her hand.

When they reached the living room she saw both her parents sitting on the couch reading some magazines. When Shubman noticed them he tried to leave her hand but she didn't let him.

Sara cleared her throat and that's when her parents looked at her.

"Sara."

Her mother said getting up and came to her.

"Tum yaha..kyu..I mean kaise?"

"Uhmm mai yaha aap sabko truth batane aayi thi. Arjun nahi hai gharpe?"

"Nahi Arjun abhi nahi hai bahar gaya hai. Tum dono baitho na tabtak wo aa jayega."

When they both sat Shubman looked at Sachin and he gave him a smile to which Shubman sighed in relief.

"Sara.. I know I shouldn't say this but you should not see your brother you know how he would feel to even look at you."

"I know but it's high time now I have to make things clear for both of us."

After that everyone was silent until Arjun and Esha came back. Sara immediately got up looking at them.

When Arjun's eyes fell on her, his eyes burned. Burned in hatred for his own once most loved sister. While Esha just stood there with anger seething from her body.

"Yeh ladki yaha kya kr rahi hai?"

He asked his parents but they just stood silent.

"I am here na then talk to me."

"You have so much guys Sara. Itna sab kuch krne ke baad bhi you are back and you are telling me to talk to you. Tum mere liye ussi din mar gayi thi jab tumne mere bacche ko maar diya tha."

"Maine nahi mara tha aapke bacche ko."

"Tumne hi mara tha Sara. Maine khud feel kiya tha mujhe kisine push kiya tha aur waha us waqt sirf tum thi."

"Nahi mai nahi thi mai toh tab aayi thi jab aap niche gir gayi thi Esha. I never pushed you. Why will I? Mai kabse chilla chilla ke bol rahi thi, No it's not me. Mujhe bhi toh bua banne ki itni hi khushi thi na. Mujhe bhi mere Bhai ko ek father bante dekhna tha. Mai kyu krti aisa?"

"Kyunki maine tumse pyaar krna kam kr diya tha."

"Nahi Arjun aisa kabhi nahi tha. Mai maanti hu aapne pyaar krna kam kr diya tha par kya aapko sach mai lagta hai ki aapki khudki behen itna neeche gir jayegi?"

"Tum meri behen nahi ho."

When Arjun said this, his voice cracked and Esha smirked. But she knew if for even one more second Sara talks Arjun would start believing her.

"Tumne hi humare bacche ko mara hai Sara. Jara bhi sharam hai to accept krlo."

Esha said and pounced on her. Shubman immediately covered Sara and held her behind his back while Sara held his shirt in her first feeling scared.

"Aap apni limit mai rehke baat kijiye. Aap badi hai iska matlab ye nahi aap Sara pe haath utha sakti hai."

"Achha aur ye batane wale tum kaun hote ho?"

"Mai Jo bhi hu aapse matlab."

"Excuse me tum meri biwi se aise baat nahi kr sakte."

Arjun said when he had had enough of Shubman speaking rudely to his wife and Shubman chuckled.

"Itne kaale dil ke kaise ho sakte ho tum Arjun? Apni khudki behen pe bharosa nahi kr paa rahe ho jab ki tumhe andar se pata hai ki Sara yaha sach hai."

"Aur tumhare pass kya proof hai iska?"

"Abhi toh nahi hai par jaroor dunga proof. Bohot jald."

He said and holding Sara's hand he started walking out.

"Sara."

Her mother called out and she looked back.

"Yahi ruk jao beta."

"Nahi mai apni Sara ko aise jagah nahi rakh sakta jaha har dusra aadmi uspe haath uthane ki koshish kre."

Shubman said strongly and again started walking while Sara just followed him, her mind blank. This was happening again, the same things. Even that day she explained just like this only the difference was she had Shubman with her this time.

When they reached back to the hotel, Sara sat on the bed with a thud.
