**Thunder** 

The sound of the thunder was heard as the baby cry soon filled the air. Fatimama picked Yatharv and rocked him up. 

The air was still and silent as the news of their queen's death spread across the kingdom like wildfire. 

 **Thunder**

The thunder shook again when Mrs. Desai picked Yatharv up and went near the man standing, leaning towards the pillar and looked at the thunder in the distance. 

Mrs. Desai - Rocky?

She called out to him softly and as he turned his gaze fell to his son who stopped crying as soon as he saw his father. 

She handed Yatharv to him as Rocky held him in his arms and admired his son. 

Rocky - He look just like her.

His voice came in a whisper as his eyes glistened but he held them back and kissed Yatharv's forhead as Yatharv giggled when Rocky's beard tickled him. 

Aadhya - I really wish she was here to see this.

Came the voice behind them as they turned their gaze towards her. She looked at Yatharv then at Rocky and gave a sad smile. 

Rocky - You don't anything else about him? 

Rocky asked softly as the rain poured. Aadhya nodded her head as no but smiled making him frown...

Aadhya - I may not know the whole story but I know someone who does....

She said as she moved aside revealing the person who was behind her. 

? - Nice to meet you Rocky...

She spoke in a sweet voice while Rocky looked back to her then at Aadhya. 

Rocky - Who is she?

? - You might know me but I've known all my life. 

She smiled and bowed a little.

? - My name is Kajal....I'm Ravan's childhood friend. 

The thunder shook when she introduced herself as Rocky held Yatharv closer to him. 

Kajal - Don't worry I'm not here to harm you or your family. I need help...

She said but flinched when Farmaan came near them and yelled at her.

Farmaan - Help? For what? That bastard nearly killed Reena and you being his friend want our help.

Rocky remained silent and glared at Kajal. 

Rocky - What do you want?

His voice came in a silent growl but his face remained emotionless just like how he used to be before Reena. 

Kajal - Ravan doesn't know what is he doing...He's being manipulated...It's true that he wanted his revenge on you for killing his father but when he knew Reena was happy with you he was ready to leave his grudge but now...

She sighed and was about to continue but got cut off by Rocky.

Rocky - So he's trying to avenge Andrew's death?

He asked and chuckled darkly. 

Rocky - Andrew deserved to die...He was getting in my wa-

Kajal - Not Andrew but Adheera's. 

She said making Rocky and others frown. Rocky looked at Aadhya then remembered something...

"Aadhya - He is none other that Adheera's son"... 

Rocky - You said it before didn't you Aadhya before you fainted?

He questioned her as she nodded. 

Farmaan - Isn't Andrew his father?

He asked. 

Kajal - Aadhya doesn't anything after that incident that happened at the Desai mansion that night...She doesn't know anything about him except that he is Adheera's son.....Not even how much Ravan loved Reena...

She said the last part in a whisper but it was enough for Rocky to hear. 

Kajal - On that day after Aadhya and Reena left Ravan tried to sneak back to the car but got caught by Andrew and the punishment he got brought scars that could never fade...

Andrew - YOU PIECE OF SHIT!!

Andrew shouted as he stomped on the fragile thing. Ravan whimpered when another pain was felt in his abdomen. 

Andrew - YOU AND YOUR MOTHER JUST WANTS TO MAKE MY LIFE MISERABLE!! I TOLD YOU TO STAY PUT DIDN'T I???

He screamed at Ravan as he raised his hand but got stopped by the guards who held him back. 

Guard - Sir stop!!! He might die...

Andrew - LET HIM IN THAT WAY I WOULD BE PEACEFUL!!

He screamed and left that place. The guard turned back only to see a heartbreaking view........... Ravan was curled up with blood oozing from his mouth as the whimpers of the poor soul filled the room. The guard picked him up as Ravan hissed....

Ravan - I.....I...I D.....D...Didn't D.....Do A....nything I ....P...romise...

He whispered as he held himself closer feeling the warmth in the guard's embrace.

The guard placed him down the bed and caressed his hair.

Guard - You don't deserve this kiddo...

He spoke softly but soon smiled when he heard a sound behind him.  

Guard - Come here Kajal...

He called out as a little girl...a few years younger that Ravan...came while holding a first-aid box.

Kajal - Daddy is he alright?

She asked in her baby voice as the guard smiled and caressed her hair.

Guard - He will be once we take care of him.

He spoke softly while Kajal's eyes sparkled. 

Kajal - Daddy is he gonna stay with us!!

She squealed while her father nodded.

Guard - For a while until he's recovered...

Kajal - Then I'll take care of him....

. . . . . . . .                                                                                                                                                              {Time skip} 

- BOO!!!

Ravan - Ah!!!

He screamed when a shadow hung above his head. He looked up and saw the little girl laughing while sitting on a tree branch.

Ravan - Kajal this is not funny!! Plus how did you even get up there?

He asked as he got up and looked at her.

Kajal - It's easy silly. 

She giggled when Ravan rolled his eyes as she jumped down. 

Ravan - Yah! Be careful...

Kajal - And you too...Remember your dad is having guests today.

She said while Ravan nodded. 

Ravan - I should not be seen...I know..I know..

He sighed and looked down...

Kajal - I heard she's coming....

She whispered and gave him a sad look while his eyes sparkled...even though he was a kid but aga doesn't matter in love...

Ravan - How did you know?

He asked being excited while she just smiled.

Kajal - My dad's guiding her for today....

He smiled remembering the time they had at that night.

Kajal - Why are you being so into her when you don't even know her?

She sounded a bit aggressive which ofcourse was gone unnoticed by Ravan as he smiled.

Ravan - I know her more than anyone else....I met her when I was a kid. I didn't come here as soon as I was born. I was raised in my mother's home. And Reena's mother was my mother's best friend. I met Reena when she and her mother came to visit mine.  My mother died when I was 3 years old...

He continued as they both sat down below the tree. The breeze gazed upon them as he smiled and closed his eyes, his mother's face and the memories were still vivid to him. 

Ravan - I kinda like made a promise to her mother...

Kajal - A promise?

Ravan - Seriously you need to cut me in???

He looked at her while she just giggled and shaked his head.

Ravan - Her mother told me that she needs to protected at all times and that the place they live in was not right for her. I don't remember exactly what happened but I do remember me promising her mother that I would protect her at all costs. And now seeing the way of how it is her mother was right.

Kajal looked at him and smiled sadly. The way he smiled or the way his eyes lit up whenever Reena was mentioned was something that she would never get with him. 

Kajal - Ravan...

She called him softly as he came out of his trance and looked at her with a soft gaze.

Kajal - Would you....Would...Would- 

? - Ravan?

A voice cut her off as Kajal's eyes widened. She bit her lip when she saw Ravan's eyes being lit up. 

Ravan - Reena?

His voice panicked as he stood up with Kajal behind him. Reena waved her hands and came to him. She looked behind him and smiled. 

Reena - It is you!! How are you?

She asked with her sweet voice. Ravan blushed while Kajal looked down. 

Kajal - I...I...need..to go.

She whispered making Ravan look at her but before they could say anything she ran off. 

Reena - Who was she?

Ravan - Her name is Kajal and she's one of the guards daughter. 

Reena made an 'O' face and smiled at him before talking to him as they sat down below the tree and chatted not knowing that a pair of eyes was watching them from afar with tears in her eyes....

***

Rocky looked at Kajal as she smiled sadly then shook her head as if she was trying to come out from her trance. 

Kajal - There was a lot of times where Ravan was ready to sacrifice himself for Reena but me..... I  was nothing but a sister to him. Ravan was angered by the fact that Kamal was engaged to Reena and he was even ready to kill him but was stopped by Adheera- 

Farmaan - How does he become Adheera's son when he was with Andrew?

He asked while she nodded.

Kajal - It all happened at the meeting with Garuda when Ravan was 17 years old. 

Ravan became the most talented fighter at Andrew's grounds and him being Andrew's son came to the knowledge of those close to Andrew. 

And like that Ravan's existence was known to Garuda and Adheera and they wanted to meet him. But instead of taking him to them... Andrew thought he was going to be embarrassed by Ravan and tried to lose him. 

But when he was about to do something to him...Ravan stopped him.  Him being at that state tried to stop Andrew but soon everything changed when Adheera came into the picture. Adheera saw what was happening and warned Andrew. 

Soon Ravan entered the grounds of KGF and as he did, Adheera shared even the top most secrets to Ravan but hid him away from the world. Adheera became the father he needed and well Ravan grew attached to him. He was devasted and wanted to kill you no matter when he learned that you killed Adheera. 

Soon you { Rocky } came into that mess again and everything changed. News about you killing kamal reached Ravan and he was happy that he finally had Reena. But when she and yours thing happened along with ....Ravan grew outrageous and angered that someone was having her. 

But when he found out that she was happy with you and you were treating her in your way...he was ready to leave everything for her....His grudge and he felt that his promise was getting fulfilled in some other way....

Kajal sighed as Aadhya held her hand and smiled. Kajal returned the same before turning to Rocky who deep in thought holding Yatharv who was in deep slumber as he snuggled into Rocky's embrace. 

Kajal - Rocky...

She called out to him as he came out of his trance and looked at Kajal as she gave him a sad smile. 

Kajal - I'm truly sorry for all the things that Ravan did but you need to save him. The people around him are not the people he should trust. Please....I beg you....save him...

She got on her knees and clasped her hands together and begged him. Rocky stood silent but it wasn't peaceful when the loud cry of Yatharv and the sound of a bullet was heard. 

Rocky stood stilled as his shirt became wet by blood. His wavering eyes looked down but the sight broke his heart into two. One with relief and pain and the other with anger and rage. 

Mrs. Desai gasped when she saw blood oozing from the side of Yatharv's ears. The poor thing wailed in pain as Mrs. Desai and Fatimama trembled not knowing what to do. Yatharv cried more when Rocky handed him to them and turned towards the direction of the shot. 

His eyes darkened when he saw the person who shot his son. His hands grew into a fist as his nerves popped up. Yatharv's cries grew more as the thunder striked. 

Aadhya and Kajal looked at the direction towards it and saw Ravan walking towards the gate of the mansion as a dozen trucks followed him behind. Kajal's eyes grew into fear as she looked at Ravan then at Rocky. She fell at Rocky's feet and held it.

Kajal - Please don't do it...He's not being himself....Please...Rocky...ROCKY!!

She yelled when Rocky pushed her aside and turned towards Yatharv and placed his bracelet around his neck and kissed his forehead. 

Rocky - I will kill him for hurting our prince...

He whispered as he kissed the bracelet and dashed towards to the door leaving Kajal in a crying mess. 

Farmaan followed behind as Aadhya held Kajal. Mrs. Desai gasped when she knew the moment what Rocky will to Ravan as she went behind him. 

Fatimama looked towards the fragile thing and whispered while looking at the casket-grey clouds that were surrounding the kingdom.
