At Bonheur, Toronto, Canada 

Adam and Daisy took a day off as they know even if they would have gone; they won't be able to concentrate on anything. But they can't abandon their work too, so Daisy was busy checking the accounts while Adam was busy in a case file. Even then time to time they will look up at their daughter who was pacing the length of the hall.

Amy was angry like hell, well her worry grew into anger is the right way to say it. Yes, she knows that both Arnav and Danny hadn't taken their phones with them but that does not mean that they can't communicate at all, that was what her detective mind thought. After some more minutes, she heard her phone ringing on the table and ran to take it all the anger long forgotten. But seeing the caller id all her anger came back, doubling-up this time. She cut the call but it again rang disturbing her, she took the call and barked scaring the hell out of the person at the other end.

Amy: WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT? Can't you guess that if somebody cuts the call they are not interested to talk to you?

Caller: Ma ... Ma'am, it's ... it's about the murder case

Amy: So what? It is just a murder case

Along with the caller's her parents' eyes too popped out hearing her, but she cared less and continued.

Amy: And if you can't handle a single case without my help ... then I think it will be better if you kiss goodbye to your job

Caller: No ... no ... it is not that Ma'am ... I ... I just wanted to inform you that your suspicion was right ... I mean the fingerprints match. Mr. Philips told me to proceed but ... I ... I thought to inform you

Amy: Who asked you to think like that by the way? Eden is your senior and he asked you to proceed, right ... so you have to do that, okay? ...  and yeah if I want any information I will ask you to inform me ... not the other way around ... you got me?

Caller: But Ma'am I was just

Amy: Keep your generosity with yourself Smith and do your work

Saying so she cut the call and threw her phone on the table muttering "Er ... inefficient stupid bunch of people ... I really don't know how they even get into the department" and slumped on the sofa. She laid there and closed her eyes and her parents decided not to disturb her as it may calm her down.

After half an hour when the cordless rang she groaned before picking it up, thinking it to be that stupid subordinate of her again.

At the Bar

Arnav walked straight to the security but before he could get hold of the key Danny took it. Arnav tried to grab it from him but Danny moved back and warned him

Danny: Don't ... don't even think about it ... In no way, I will allow you to drive in this condition

Arnav: But ...

Danny: Shut up ... and get inside the car ... otherwise, nobody will be worse than me

Arnav groaned in disapproval but one look at Danny he knew Danny is not going to relent so he silently walked towards the car and hopped on the passenger seat. Danny took the wheels and started the car in a slow speed making Arnav grumble something like 'ignorance in driving' and 'afraid of speed' along with a couple of profanities. But Danny cared less and thus Arnav just closed his eyes and laid back on the seat as he was feeling exhausted mentally and physically.

More than half the way to the drive Danny heard the coughing sounds and he realized that finally, the alcohol is showing its effect. He cursed himself under his breath for the idiocy as in the name of giving Arnav his own personal space he forgot about the doctor's advice ... to control the amount of the intake of his alcohol. Danny stopped the car and Arnav bend forward holding his chest and stomach and coughed very badly almost choking

Danny: Shit Danny! Where your brain does go sometimes ... Jesus ... how can you forget about his health? (Patting Arnav's biceps) Nav ... Nav ... are you okay?

Danny saw him trying to say something but he couldn't form a word as he was breathing heavily

Danny: What? ... do you ... do you need something?

Arnav: Wa ... wat ... er

Danny: Water?

Seeing his nod Danny took the bottle but Arnav wasn't in a state to drink it alone and even if Danny tried, it will be much difficulty with the seatbelts and all. So he said

Danny: Wait let me come to that side

Then he opened his side door and ran around the car and opened the passenger side door. He pushed the seat more backward so that Arnav can have a more comfortable position and pressed the bottle towards his mouth by supporting his head. Arnav took a couple of sips only to cough more as it gone to the wrong pipe, all thanks to the position he was in. Danny separated himself from Arnav and patted his back to calm him down but realized that Arnav was having difficulty to even breath and he was gulping air through his mouth.

Danny: Nav do you have an inhaler in the car?

Arnav just nodded his reply so supporting him by one hand Danny opened the dashboard and picked out the inhaler and helped Arnav with that. After a couple of gulps, he started to breath normal making Danny sigh in relief. But his relief was short-lived as he saw Arnav on the verge of losing his consciousness.

At RM, New Delhi, India 

A lady in her early twenties was taking her afternoon nap but suddenly she sat up shouting 'Annav'. She sighed realizing it was just a dream and then turning to the bedside table took the photo of his seventeen-year-old self and caressed his face. 

Lady: You know what? ... I miss you ... I miss you very much Annav. When will you come back to me ... to your Mishty? I can understand what Juhi Di had told me that you are very busy and upon that staying alone in an unknown city must be very difficult for you ... and thus you need time to wrap up everything. But still, I am upset with you Annav ... you ... you should have at least come here instead of sending the mangal sutra, sindoor and signed marriage documents with her ... or at least you should have called me there. (Blushing) You see if it was the case we could have even completed our honeymoon by now ... (Sighing) Koi bath nahi (Not a problem) we can go later but yeah you will have to work hard to get my forgiveness Mr. Arnav Alok Raizada as I am not going to relent that easily. I know you would have asked about my favorites to Di ... but yeah sweets, mandir or music concert is not going to change my mind. You ... you will have to try something romantic. But I really doubt an Akdoo like you even know to be romantic ... (Sighing) it's okay don't worry ... I will teach you everything

Suddenly she heard "Oh so my Bahu have a vast knowledge in romance and all" and was embarrassed to see her mother in law there and stood up immediately causing the photo to fall down and to break into million pieces. Tears welled up in her eyes seeing that and she said to her mother in law

Bahu: Maa Ji yeh (Mother, this)?

Janki: He Bhagvan ... yeh to apshagun ho gaya (Oh God ... it is a bad omen)

Bahu: Maa Ji kahi unhe kuch? (Mother nothing would have happened to him, right?)

Janki: I don't know Beta ... all we can do is to pray to make everything alright for him

Bahu: (Turing to the idol) Devimayya ... photo mujhse gir gayi ... galti mujhse ho gayi. Jo saza dena hai ... aap mujhe de dijiye ... par unhe kuch mat hona chahiye. (God ... the photo fell down from me ... I am the one who did wrong. So you can give any punishment you want to me ... but nothing should happen to him)

Janki: (Holding her shoulders) Beta ... please stop crying ... maybe we are thinking too much. (Sighing) okay ... let us do one thing ... we will go to the temple in the evening and keep a special puja for him ... hmm

Bahu: Nothing will happen to him right?

Janki: No ... nothing will happen to him as your love is there to protect him

Bahu: Maa Ji ... aap to kuch bhi bolte ho (Mother ... you are saying anything)

Janki: Did I say something wrong? You love him right?

In answer, all she got was a blushing nod from her daughter in law.

Janki: Then don't worry; nothing will happen to him, okay?

The Bahu just nodded her head but her mind was still worried about her husband and she decided she will keep fast for his well being tomorrow.

In the car

Danny: (Patting his cheeks) Nav ... buddy ... no ... no stay awake stay with me

Arnav: A ... Am ... Amy I ...

Danny: Yes ... at least for Amy's sake stay awake

Arnav: I ... I ... lo ... ve ... you ... ba ... by

And he just closed his eyes with a sigh.

Danny: What! No ... no ... Nav ... Nav

But he couldn't get any response from him; he looked for the water bottle, alas luck wasn't on Danny's side today, as in the tension the bottle had fallen down on the ground spilling the whole content. Worried like hell he decided to call Arnav's Dr but realized his folly as in the urgency he had forgotten to take his phone. He looked around the place and realized it is the way to the outskirts of the city and couldn't find a single person nearby. Frantically looking around he spotted a telephone booth in the far end of the road but sadly he doesn't have doctor's number. He looked at the open dashboard and groaned ... of course Arnav don't need a phone diary as he is well versed with numbers. Danny forced his brain to recollect any number and the only number he could recall was his home number.

After adjusting Arnav in the seat carefully Danny ran to the booth and dialed the number waiting for somebody to pick it up. And fortunately or unfortunately it was his sister who took the call and said a hesitant 'hello'.

Danny: Amy ... Amy, it's me, Danny

Amy: Danny?  ... where the hell are you? ... why ... why didn't you call before? ... do you even know how worried we are here? And where is Nav? ... he is with you, right? ... and ...

Danny: Amy ... Amy ... stop your interrogation and hear me out. You please call Dr. Taylor and inform him to come home fast as I don't think I can find a hospital before I cross our home. We will be there in ... hmm twenty tops

Amy: Dr. Taylor? Danny ... Danny ... what happened to Nav? ... is he okay? ... and twenty minutes? Where are you exactly?

Danny: Amy I will answer all your questions once I reach there but you ... you please get the doctor before we reach

Saying so Danny cut the call, ran back to the car and started the car ... and the irony of the situation was that the person who hates speedy vehicles was driving the car at the maximum possible speed.

True to his word they reached Bonheur in around twenty minutes and as expected everyone including the Dr. was on the front lawn itself. Even before Danny could stop the car Amy was there and opened the passenger seat and seeing Arnav's state she gasped. There he was, in such a fragile state in which she had never seen him before.

Amy: Danny ... Danny ... what happened to him?

But all she got was an apologetic look, which she ignored, for the time being. Deciding to deal with him later and turned towards Arnav.

Amy: Nav...Nav...Nav, baby open your eyes...Nav

Adam and Daisy too was shocked to see him in such a state. The doctor who accompanied the two to the car asked knowing well about Arnav

Dr: Mr. Lewis ... what did he forget this time ... food or medicine? Or did he start smoking again?

Danny replied to him in a small voice but enough for others to hear and they all gasped

Danny: No ... He ... he boozed

Amy: What? And you just looked on? How could you?

Danny: Amy ... I ... 

Amy: You what?

Amy questioned Danny in a mad voice and he immediately lowered his head feeling extremely guilty for his insanity. He could feel the questioning gazes on him, but more than anything he could feel the reproachful look his sister was passing him. Adam read the tension between them and told in a poised yet worried voice

Adam: Doll ... I think that can wait. First ... let us take him in so that Dr. can check him

Amy helped him out by holding him from right and Danny immediately came to the left side to help her. She wanted to shout at him seeing the cost of his absurdity but gulped down the hurt and fury and concentrated on Arnav. They both lead him to the guest room which was on the ground floor and settled him on the bed. The doctor checked him and sighed in relief.

Dr: Don't worry ... he fainted due to low insulin level

Daisy: But he had some fruits and medicines in the morning

Dr: Mrs. Lewis high amount of alcohol can diminish the blood sugar level ... (Taking out the syringe) hmm ... for now, I will give him a doss of insulin but make sure he eats and takes his medicine when he wakes up

Daisy: Sure Dr.

Dr: Okay then ... I will take my leave and ... yeah it will be better if we leave him to rest

Accepting the doctor's advice everybody moved out except Amy and they know no persuasion will work there when the matter is about Arnav. Amy was standing in the exact position before everybody left and was looking only at Arnav. Anybody seeing her like that will think she is a statue minus her breathing or a human with no emotion at all. But only a person who knew her well can understand the situation ... that she is masking it all ... well, all thanks to her profession. But inside she was breaking to see him like that. She still can't believe he again did that even when he knew ... her thinking process stopped abruptly as another thought crossed her mind. Anxious she ran out hoping the Dr. would not have left.

In the hall

Dr. stood up finishing the tea and that's when Amy came running to him and it took a good minute to stop panting, considering the speed with which she came.

Dr: What happened, Ms. Lewis? Any problem?

Amy: Dr. ... you forgot something. (Taking deep breathes) His ... his airways ... I ... I mean last time you had mentioned ARDS

Dr: I think we don't have to worry about it as I can't detect a breathing problem as of now

Danny: No!

Danny shouted making everybody frown at him

Danny: He ... he had trouble breathing then ... in fact ... in fact ... he was almost ... almost choking and had to use the inhaler

Dr: Jesus! (Shaking his head) I have lost the count of times I have told him to be careful ... to be serious about his health. But No ... ASR has his own set of rules and I am no one to dictate to him ... that is what he told me

Adam: I am sorry on his behalf Dr. ... you know his temper issues and ...

Dr: I know Mr. Lewis and I can understand these ego problems of the new generation too. That's why I have tolerated all his tantrums until now but this is the heights. I have told him that I am not saying to completely devoid of alcohol ... unlike his belief, because I very well know he isn't capable of that as he is habituated of it from a very young age. All I tried to make him understand is that ... going this high on alcohol can cause him an alcoholic lung disease considering him to be asthmatic and which will further lead into ARDS ... i.e, Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome which can even cost his life

Adam: But Dr. you have mentioned before that his smoking is that what is triggering his respiratory issues and he doesn't smoke anymore

Dr: Yes you are right he doesn't smoke anymore ... and I have to give the credit to your daughter because she had accomplished the task which I thought was impossible. And I really believed it can control asthma but then who thought he will compensate the amount of nicotine by alcohol? ... (Sighing) yeah, he was in control after I had informed Ms. Lewis about all these and I saw positive changes in his health. But now again this! I don't know what had caused him to do this, after all, it is his personal matter as he calls it and I am no one to interfere in that ... (Sighing) but one thing is sure if he again goes back to that life which he left for better ... nobody and I mean it nobody can save him ... and the sooner he understands this the better for him. (Turning towards Amy) ... ask him to come to the monthly checkup, which he forgot for his convenience

Amy: I will bring him Dr. and ... I assure you this won't happen again ... this time I wasn't around so ...

Danny shut his eyes feeling ashamed of himself as he realized that he had failed his sister and the doctor left passing a sympathetic look at Danny. As soon as he left Amy turned to go and seeing this Danny called her but she didn't stop. So Danny ran ahead of her and stood in front of her and tried to hold her hands. But she didn't let him which hurt him but he knew his sister was beyond hurt hearing all these and that's why she is acting like that.

Amy: (Gritted teeth) move from my way Danny

Danny: Amy ... princess, please hear me out. I ... I can explain ...

Amy: Really? ... what exactly are you going to explain? ... that how much fun it was to watch him drinking ... or that you liked to see him struggling for breath?

Danny: Amy please ... how could you think that I will wish anything bad for him?

Amy: Then why Danny? How ... how could you let him do that?

Danny: Amy I am sorry ... I know I shouldn't have but ... but it wasn't intentional

Amy was fuming hearing him say sorry as all she could think was the doctor's words 'which can cost his life' and she very well knows if she opened her mouth now she will kill the opposite person with words. So keeping mum she started walking but stopped when her father held her hand.

Adam: Doll ... calm down

Amy: (Spitting fire at him) ... calm down? You ... you are asking me to calm down Dad? ... haven't you seen his state, Dad? (Angry tears filling her eyes) ... didn't you hear what the Dr. had said? ... that it can cost his li ... life. (Choking) What...what would I do without him?

Adam held her close seeing the valiant cop in such a vulnerable state.

Adam: Shh ... doll ... shh ... nothing will happen to him, okay?

She nodded her head still in the hug and Adam told slowly.

Adam: And now please hear him out. (Seeing her body stiffen) ... you very well know he can never see you or as a matter of fact, even Nav hurt ... so it is sure that there must be a valid reason for it, right?

Hearing him Amy broke the hug and looked at her father as realization dawn on her, but still, it didn't reduce her fury. She turned towards Danny and looked straight at him, and he very well knows that look, it said 'Explain'.

So he briefed her everything, how Arnav was not aware of the surroundings or acknowledging his presence, how Arnav ignored his attempts to speak and kept looking at her photo, how Danny finally lost his cool and snapped at him making Arnav blurt out everything including his request to Amy, how Danny admonished him about the consequences and finally his decision to return. Then he went ahead and enlightened them how Arnav fell unconscious calling out for Amy.

Daisy and Adam looked at each other hearing about Arnav's marriage and fearing about Amy's future. But when they heard Danny's words they realized how wrong they were. Yes, Danny was right, after all the marriage even if it had happened, it happened without Arnav's knowledge and Arnav loves Amy ... and thus they don't have to worry. Because they knew when Arnav will come to his senses and think with his relaxed mind instead of his heart ... he will surely find the best solution, which they are sure will nowhere be close to hurt Amy.

But for Amy all those things do not matter, yes she was shocked to hear that her Arnav is married to somebody else, but what hurt her was him asking her to move on. Yes, she was relieved when she heard that Danny could talk sense to him but still it bothered her that even if it is for some moments Arnav was ready to let her go and spoke in a trance.

Amy: He ... he wanted me to move on!

Amy came back to her sense when Danny wiped her tears and then only she realized she was crying. Danny instantly hugged her and whispered

Danny: I am sorry sis as I too am a reason for this state ... I know you will solve your problems on your own as usual ... but still, I promise you as long as your brother will be alive ... nobody, and I mean it nobody will snatch your Nav from you.

Danny heard her sigh and was assured that she heard, as well as acknowledged his words. But one thing he noticed was she still hadn't hugged him back, which meant she hasn't forgiven him yet. He sighed as he knew as it is about Arnav he will have to earn his forgiveness in the hardest way. And that is when a thought crossed his mind and he smirked 'if this is what my situation only God can save you buddy 'thought Danny as he realized he got a companion in all this.

After sometimes everybody returned to their room and Amy walked towards the room she and Arnav shared her mind still at Arnav's words. She pulled out a suitcase and kept it open on the bed. Then she opened the cupboard and pulled out Arnav's clothes and accessories and put them into it. Then she took out another bag for his toiletries and walked towards the bathroom. Then she took out the photo of the two of them smiling gleefully at the camera which was kept on the bedside table. She kept looking at it and tears formed in her eyes. Wiping it angrily she put that too in the suitcase and closed it. Then taking the luggage she walked back to the room where Arnav was resting currently. She left the bags on the floor but didn't dare to look at him, because she knows one look at him and her resolve will lose. Besides she knew she has to do this so that Arnav will never dare to think something like that again. So she walked towards the window and stood there looking out and drifted to her thoughts.

After about half an hour Arnav stirred in his sleep and finally opened his eyes and noted the surroundings. He frowned seeing the familiar yet unfamiliar room ... yes, he knows it is the guest room of Bonheur. But what he couldn't understand was why he would sleep here and that too in the middle of the day. Confused he sat up quickly, and here it was the pounding on his head gave him the answer, that he was pretty wasted and with that slowly everything came to him.

Immediately he was on his feet concerned for Amy as he knows she would have demanded nothing but the truth and of course Danny will never lie to his sister. He turned towards the door and was puzzled to see luggage there but that can wait. He was about to walk to the door and that's when his eyes fell on the window. There she was, his beloved dressed in a camisole and jeans, hands inside pockets and looking out of the window. And seeing her like that he felt home, yes, after all, she was his home. He slowly walked towards her and was about to hug her but was terrified as she pushed him back shouting 'DON'T YOU DARE TO TOUCH ME RAIZADA'

I know a cliffhanger, but if not it would have been really really long, so forgive me for that. And yeah tell me about your views about the update, did I confused you guys more or are you able to Identify who's who?
