How can you do this Neil?? Can't be more careful??? ....

Neil's eyes welled up as he heard his brother shouting at him....

Haa ... Beta todha toh...careful rehta....manjari agreed pricking his heart even more....

Careful?? And him??? Harshvardhan birla laughed sarcastically....

Neil had expected this from his father but yet it pained.....

His only hope was his Bhai.....

He slowly turned and choking on his voice asked ....Bhai do you I will...and neared him....

Abhimanyu pushed him by his chest that he fell down to the ground....

Tere vajase ....because of you all these happened ...Neil...he yelled....

Par Bhai i would never hurt bhabhi you know that...Neil said hoping his bhi would understand his stance....

But abhi was not in the mood to listen....he was frustrated and was burning in anger....

His akshara had to face a electric shock from a machine so approved by Neil.....

And now his eyes were burning down in anger.....

You are an illegitimate child..that's why na...you want to destroy his happiness right? His papa asked...

Neil immediately looked at his Bhai...

He needed an answer from his Bhai...he had always supported him whenever his father badmouthed....

But now that akshara is in hospital....Neil really wanted to see if he would support him as usual...

If he could see anything beyond his akshara.....

Anything beyond his obsession of true love .....

The room was filled with a jarred silence....

A silence so loud that Neil had gotten every answer to his questions that was thundering in his mind.....

Neil slowly got up still staring at his brother....

You checked the machine Neil, you checked!! And she still got the shock....meri askhu is lying unconscious.....abhi said... Breaking the last piece of heart he was holding to....

Isse kya baath kar rahe ho beta... Sun...kal se kaam pe aane ki zarurat nahi hai... because you are fired..... Jo khannd Kiya hai tumne uske baad yeh sab toh honayi tha...

Lagta hai uss arohi se pyaar karte karte. Isska gun bhi uski tarah hona laga hai.... harshvardhan birla yelled...

Neil saw abhi's eyes getting more redder...

He immediately walked and grabbed Neil's collar...

Don't tell since we informed about arohi's demand for share and we broke up your alliance....

This is Arohi's plan to get back...aur tum uski pyaar main pagal hoke blame apni upar le rahe ho.... I know you are so deeply in love with her....that you cannot see anything....

Neil slowly got out of the hold and quickly wiped his tears ....

Abhi's words and the irony around it made Neil's lips curve in a sarcastic smile....

He looked at each one of the members in his family or the one he believed it was....

None of them was showing an trace of love for him....

Neil bit his lips and walked to his bedroom without a word.....

And closed his doors and leaned against it....

He closed his eyes and without a sound a tear rop slowly escaped his eye....

Before that incident even abhi knew how good he was with his bhabhi, but now... nobody trusts him.....

Suddenly he heard a sound....

It was his arohi...sitingin front of him ...in the engagement lehenga..the one he broke....

Neil... I sked those shares for us.... They claim to love us par hum toh hai hi illegitimate child na...pata nahi kab badal jaayen...

They only claim to love us...but they don't ....Neil understand na.....

These were the last words of arohi that she said when he had angrily walked off after calling off the wedding after heeding to akshara's opinion.

He did think that his family loved him atleast his Bhai...that's what he thought....

The silence of his Bhai...the words that he uttered today....was not him...

He was akshara's husband and not his Bhai anymore... A man so lost in love...

His innocent heart immediately whispered maybe he was hurt by all the happenings that's why...

May be he did not mean it....

As he was thinking it ...h heard his Bhai scream his name at the top of his lungs....

Neil immediately rushed down....

And he saw his Bhai holding the phone as if he would break it...

He neared him as if he would slap him right across his face....

Tell me where is arohi?? I even asked you is it all her plan.....

I called to the goenkas they said she left the house leaving a chit only Neil knows to find me if he still wants to find me he will...the note say... Where is she???? Abhi punched his face....

I told you ...i gave you a chance to accept it... But now i have lost it....I don't think you are my brother anymore....maybe you're that illegitimate child mr.birla is talking about... yelled breaking him even more...

I seriously don't know Bhai....Neil said rubbing his swollen cheek...

Neil... Beta do tell us where she is....if you know... His mom enquired....

Neil felt like he was in a courtroom and as if he was the criminal in questioning....

For god's sake Bhai i know arohi hates her sister but she will never stopped so low to try and kill bhabhi.... Neil said...

And somewhere he knew.... No one would understand him ...

So what was your part it.. you wantedly approved a defective machine??? Abhimanyu yelled....

Neil closed his eyes...

He remembered her words...

Only Neil can find me if he wants....

He remembered the key that she gave her during the celebration....hiding from all others...just when kairav came to notice about Neil and arohi relationship....

Arohi always wanted to start their life seperate....and she had booked that house out of her savings... although Neil was never convinced at tht point in time...but he slowly understood now what she meant.....

Without saying a word...he left the birl house..he wanted to drove his ar...but te words that he is not his brother now...

He went out walking and tookan auto and reached the house ....

As he predicted arohi opened the door....
And as soon as he saw her all his guards went down and he immediately hugged her.....

And he cried ....

Arohi kept on ruffling his hair gently and let him cry....

Somewhere she knew Neil was just not aware how toxic his family and was naive to believe in the illusion of pyaar....that his family knitted very well around him...

And the way he cried likea baby in her arms she understood that his heart was too broken ....

She gently pulled him inside and closed the door...

They both sat near the sofa ...and Neil slowly began to speak....

Bhai ko bhabhi ki dard ke alava kuch dikhayi nahi de raha chipkali he cried ....

For aaru it was not anything new....her own grandparents had neglected her emotions that made her to hate her....

How akshara?? How is it about you all the time first bade papa now abhimanyu?? I wonder how you do that?? To project yourself this much that other person cannot be seen ...how?? She wondered in her mind....

Back in birla house ....

They got the info the akshara had gotten the consciousness and they rushed back to hospital....

Akshara saw them and sighed...

Kaise hua abhi asked...

Vo...vo...I noticed some sound coming from the machine and...

Before akshara could finish.... Abhi asked...

You could have called the nurse...

Akshara answered... Par kaise abhi...humare hote huye...patient ko kuch hogaya tho...aise todhi na hone de sakte hum.....she said...so I tried to turn off before the nurse comes and may she can put him in a new heart monitor device but shock lagaya....

Patient ko kuch na ho ....tumne apne baare main nahi socha...apne abhi ke baare mein nhi socha ??? Abhi questioned her....

Sorry abhi akshara cried....

And then he received a call from the supplier...

Sir sorry the last machine we sent had some defective that our quality control could not deect...we are checking all the orders tht are sent recently...have you got any problem???

Abhi answered....

After the call he held his yelled and realised what all he had said to Neil and called him

Back in neirohi house.....

Neil's phone buzzed...

Arohi showed him the phone and he attended it and put it on speaker...

Neil suni sorry yaar main gusse main tha....abhi abhi us company ka call aya ki vo manufacturing defect...aur akshu Teri bhabhi vo bhi teek hogayi please vapas aaja mere bhai please abhi said..

Kyon...main toh Bhai bhi nahi hoon na...aur arohi ne hi toh Kiya sab kuch Bhai kya bol rahe ho...Neil asked sarcastically....

Are main gusse main that yaar...tum jante ho na..meri akshu ko kuch ho jaata hai to ...main...Neil interrupted him...

Why was I not like you Bhai when somebody said something about arohi why was I not selfish like you to hurt others feelings..???

Why couldn't I be that selfish and lost in love like you?.. and I trusted acted on bhabhi's word when I meant nothing to you....

I am sorry Bhai...but arohi was right.... We are living in a place where I only could find arohi ...aapka kya bharosa kal aapki ki biwi kuch pattar pe takra de aur aap meri aur mujhko ki bologe ki arohi ne us pathat ko vaha rakka hoga...

Technically bhabhi bhi dekhar chal sakthi thi par aapke nazron main toh arohi hi galat hai..aur Maine pyaar Kiya toh main bhi apka Bhai nahi rahunga...

Kya aap vo caal nahi hota toh arohi par na sahi apki bhia par trust kar pathe....no Bhai!!

Nahi Bhai...aur nahi...he said and cut his call and hugged arohi and kissed her forehead...

From now on it's just you and me in this house....I am sorry...chipkali....maaf karoge....?!?he asked...

Arohi nodded a yes and wiped her tears...

Waha sab khush aur yaha hum we will make our own world our own happiness....Neil said making arohi blush..

Waise chamkadad I am not your biwi you broke the engagement itself you know arohi said....

Neil nodded supressing his laugh ...uska kya hai....wait she said ...

And came back with a candle in her hand..

She made it stand in middle of their living room and came and held his hand....

She looked at his eyes and said I promise neil i will never judge you...and held his hand and made him go around the candle with her....while Neil was holding his tears..

They finished their first phera and arohi stopped.... You will always be my first priority.... Neil slowly and steadily choked on her words realising how bad he wanted it to hear it from his family..and hoelw she said it and he doubted her....

He still admiring her and gripping her hands tight followed her as they completed their second phera....

I will always be your side to support you no matter what....arohi said and took the next step...

Neil was overwhelmed by her gestures and vadhes to say the least.....

I will always love you and only you she said and they completed the fourth pheras....

But still Neil was admiring her...

Ab tu kuch bolega bhi?? Arohi asked glaring..
Neil smiled and lifted her in her arms....

You will also be my first priority...he said and took the round....

I will always be there with by your side no matter what...he said took another round...

Before say his seventh vow arohi glared.... I told all these days something on your own...she commanded...

Neil smiled at her and took the seventh round forward...

I will never compare you to your didi or anyone for that matter for me your special and that is what it is he said.....and took the round
..

Arohi did knew when he said and he completed taking the rounds her eyes welled up....she immediately hugged him...

Neil slowly made her stand and she still hugged....

And in that moment both had finally came in terms with their insecurities and had found the lost solace that they yearned from their childhood
