Sakshi (shocked): What??

Rohan: Kya what? Sahi to bola maine. Warna kaun se husband wife baby tab plan karte hai jab unka first baby adult ho chuka ho.

Sakshi (angrily): Are you out of your mind?

Rohan: Are chill madam. Sachchai kadwi hi hoti hai. Yakin nahi hota to inquiry karwa lena ki iske parents ne isko hatwane ke liye koshish ki thi ya nahi.

Sakshi was shocked hearing this while tears were falling from Ary's eyes who has closed his eyes too much tightly.

Shekhar: We have a partnership in a hospital in Pune. His parents came there for the abortion. We have proofs and records. There is no lie.

Sakshi (angry): Even if whatever you say is the truth, you have no right to say this to Aryan like that. You are causing a trauma to a kid of your age who has lost his parents merely a year ago.

Rohan: Are sach har koi bol sakta hai. Aur sach to yeh hi hai ki he is an unwanted child of his parents. A mistake or I can say that ki yeh apne parents ki "aaiyashi" ka natija hai aur naki pyaar ka huh.

He said this much when he got a tight slap on his cheek and before he could register another slap landed on his cheek. All were shocked.

Shekhar: What the hell? How dare you? How dare you raised your hand on my son Arjun Rawte?

So yess.... Arjun, Sam, Ayesha and Adi have reached and have heard whatever has been said in cafeteria. Actually entire ETF core team including Shree, Chhotu, Liza too were there. Liza went to Ary and started doing his first aid lovingly whereas Shree and Chhotu stood beside the trio kids to make them feel protected as they could see the kids though were standing strong but there was something they were scared.

Arjun (dangerously angry): Aur tumhare bete ki himmat kaise hui apne se bado ke bare me aisi baatein karne ki? Aur jin logo ke bare me yeh baat kar raha hai na woh mere Mata - Pita hai aur main unke khilaf ek shabd bhi nahi sununga.

Ahana ran to Ayesha and hugged her.

Ahana: Bhabhi.. bahut ganda bolta hai ye uncle aunty ke bare me.

She has never heard this type of language in her life and was feeling disgusted and uncomfortable. Ayesha though was fuming in anger but held Ahana protectively.

Abhi ran to Adi and hid his face in the hug. Adi too held him protectively. Abhi though never voiced out but he has always missed their parents and as a child he used to think that they left him because they did not want him. He knew how this thing can affect a kid.

Arjun turned to Mrs Khurana who was visibly gulping down.

Arjun: Aur aap.. Kab tak Roshni se apni personal dushmani nikalne ki koshish karti rahegi? School me usse age nikal nahi paayi uss baat ka ab tak kya hai aapko? Are ab to woh iss duniya me bhi nahi hai. Ab to usse insecure and jealous hona bandh karo.

Sam and Adi looked at Arjun who was now trying to calm himself. Arjun looked at Rohan but this time he was not angry.

Arjun: Look Kid..

His softer tone was something hearing which everyone looked at him with shocked expression.

Arjun: Do you even know what does it mean to be an unwanted child? Do you even know the meaning of it?

Rohan: Isme sochne jaisa kya hai? His parents wanted to enjoy and actually forgot to use the protection as simple as that and the result hamare samne hai

He said signing towards Ary. Sakshi made a disgusting face.

Sakshi: Mr Shekhar.. yeh hai apki upbringing ki apka beta apne se bado ke bare me kisi bhi language me aise baatein kar raha hai woh bhi itne logo ke samne.

Shekhar: Mere bete ne kuchh galat nahi bola hai. Aur ab Arjun aa gaya hai na. To ab tum apna muh bandh rakho. Koi haq nahi hai ab tumhara bolne ka

Arjun: Sakshi bolegi aur uska bolne ka pura pura haq hai. Honewali biwi hai woh meri. Bhabhi hai Ary ki.

Shekhar was shocked as this information was new. Whereas Mrs Khurana was like ab yeh kyu aa gayi uske aur Arjun ke beech me. She was a widow and was never in love with her husband. She always had a lust type crush on Arjun and used to try to get his attention.

Rohan: Dad.. Bolne do na jisko bolna hai usko. Waise bhi inke bolne se kaun sa sach badal janewala hai. Aryan Rawte is an unwanted child and that's the truth.

He said this much when he again received a tight slap on his face and before anyone could register, he received 3-4 slaps more. Rohan opened his eyes as he felt now the slaps are not coming and was shocked to see his mother standing in front of him with angry face.

Rohan: Mom..

He again received a slap.

Shikha: Yeh sikhaya hai maine tujhe? Yeh parwarish di hai maine ki kisi ke mata pita ke bare me kuchh bhi bol tu? Kitni baar bola tha maine ki tu apne Dad se nahi milega lekin nahi.. Tujhe to apne dad ke sath hi maza aata hai na. Tujhe bhi criminal hi banna hai na apne dad ke jaise?

Rohan: Mom Dad criminal nahi hai. Unhe iss Arjun Rawte ne fasaya tha

Shikha: Fasaya nahi tha balki inhone tere dad ka gunah sab ke samne laya tha. Are tere dad to apne fayde ke liye teri aur meri bhi bali dene ko taiyar ho gaye the. Agar aaj tu aur main zinda hai na to iss liye kyuki inhone apni jaan pe khel ke teri aur teri Maa ki jaan bachayi thi. Jo goliyaan tere dad ne teri Maa aur tujpe chalayi thi woh inhone apne seene pe khayi thi. Aur tu unke hi bhai ko nicha dikhane ki koshish kar raha hai aur woh bhi iss.. iss jaise insaan ke kehne pe

Shekhar: Bas karo Shikha. Mere bete ko mere khilaf bhadkana bandh karo

Sam played a video and forwarded it to Rohan. It was having all the proofs of whatever Shikha was saying and Rohan looked at it with shocked expressions.

Shekhar: Rohan.. beta aisa kuchh..

Rohan: Why? Why dad why? Kyu jhooth bola apne? Kyu mujhe Aryan ke khilaf bhadkaya? Kyu mujhe bhadkaya ki main usko last 1 year se aise taunts mar raha hoon uske parents ko leke.

All were shocked hearing this. Arjun looked at Ary who was just looking down. Sakshi went to Ary and hugged him. Ary hid his face in the hug.

Abhi and Ahana who were still in the hug with Adi and Ayesha respectively shivered hearing this. Adi and Ayesha hold them tighter giving them assurances that everything will be fine.

Rohan: I am so sorry Aryan. Maine to apne dad pe bharosa kiya tha. Mujhe kya pata tha ki woh mera use kar rahe hai. I am really sorry Aryan for everything.. for my each and every comment. I am really sorry.

Adi: And you Mrs Khurana.. Aapko bahut shauk hai na paritality karne ka.. apne matlab ke hisab se.. Aur apni position ka najayaz fayda uthane ka..

Trustee of the school came there.

Trustee: To ab se aapko iss school me kadam bhi rakhne ki koi zaroorat nahi hai

Mrs Khurana: Sir main..

Trustee: Enough. Waise bhi apke khilaf kafi sare complaints thi mere paas lekin aaj jo apne kiya hai apne sari hade paar kar di. Agar Aryan ya Rohan ko kuchh ho jata ya kisi aur bachche ko kuchh ho jata to? Parents hum pe bharosa karke apne bachcho ko yaha padhne bhejte hai. Ladai karne nahi aur nahi yeh sikhne ki baki logo ko bully aur mentally harrass kaise kiya jata hai. You are fired Mrs Khurana.

Mrs Khurana left from there. Trustee revoked the decision of suspension of Ary and also gave 4 days suspension to Rohan for the bullying he has done but as he too was a pawn they all also forgave him. Shekhar left from there. Rohan promised that he will be a good student and asked for forgiveness again. He went from there with his mother. Arjun thanked Trustee. Sakshi went to Akash.

Sakshi: Thanks Akash

Ary too went to him and thanked him.

Ary: Thank you Akash. Hum to friends bhi nahi hai phir bhi tumne meri help ki.

Akash: Mention not Aryan.. Maine sirf wahi kiya hai jo ek sachche insaan ko karna chahiye. And frankly, tumhe sab kuchh sahen karne ki zaroorat nahi thi. Gunah karna aur sehna dono galat hai. Agar tumne apne dosto ko bhi bataya hota to woh bhi help kar dete tumhari.

Ary said sorry to Abhi and Ahana both.  The trio hugged each other. Sakshi looked at Arjun who was standing with expressionless face. Sam and Adi both looked at Arjun and were tensed seeing him silent. All were left from there except Akash.

Ahana: Akash.. Tumhe dar nahi laga?

Akash: Nope.. If I would have been a normal student, Mrs Khurana was not gonna spare me aur woh shayad Aryan ke sath meri studies bhi kharab karne ki koshish karti lekin there are some hidden benefits of being a crowned prince of Mangarh you know.

All were shocked hearing this but Arjun was still staring at nothing with expressionless face.

Sam (shocked): You are prince??

Akash: Yes sir.

Ahana: Lekin waha to compulsory tumhe thoda bahut rule karna hoga na even though we have democracy. Do you want to rule?

Akash: Kabhi kabhi kuchh badlav lane ke liye power hath me lena padta hai. As simple as that.

He said it like stating an obvious fact. Sam and Ahana looked at each other and sighed but composed themselves. Akash left from there.

Ary went to Arjun.

Ary: Can I.. Can I hug you?

Arjun: Apne dada ko hug karne ke liye bhi puchhana padega tujhe?

Hearing this Ary just hid himself in the protective embrace of Arjun saying sorry and crying.

Arjun: Kyu nahi bataya? Apne dada pe itna bhi bharosa nahi tha kya ki woh sab sambhal lenge?

Ary shook his head vigoriously.

Ary: I.. I knew..

Arjun: Kya pata tha?

Ary( in slow voice): That.. You.. you used to get nightmares. I.. knew. you too were suffering from some.. something, Main bas.. bas apko aur.. aur pareshan nahi karna chahta tha.

He said between his sobs. Arjun again hold him protectively. Ary cried harder pouring out his pain which he has hidden from everyone from a year. Sakshi came to him and caressed his hair.

Sakshi: Age se kuchh bhi mat chhupana okay.

Ary nodded in yes.

Arjun: Promise?

Ary broke the hug and looked at Arjun.

Ary: Apki, Roshni bhabhi ki aur Sakshi bhabhi ki kasam.

Arjun smiled slightly at him and ruffled his hair.

Ayesha: I guess ab hum sab ko chalna chahiye

All nodded in yes.

Adi and Abhi, Sam, Ayesha and Ahana, Sakshi and Ary came out. Shree, Chhotu and Liza too were with them. Arjun was still inside the school.

Arjun: How the hell did this happen? Baat yaha tak pahunchi kaise ki Ary ek saal se harrass ho raha tha aur mujhe pata tak nahi chala? Even though you were here how?

Person: Sir.. Mujhe sahi me nahi pata tha ki yeh sab kab se chalu hai? Kabhi bhi publically kuchh bhi nahi hua. It must be the places where I cannot go. Believe me sir.

Arjun: Theek hai but age se aisa kuchh nahi hona chahiye.

Person: Sir..

Saying so person started leaving but Arjun stopped that person.

Arjun: Ruko..

Person: Sir..

Arjun: Baki sab theek hai?

Person: Arjun sir.. Everything is fine and everyone too.

Arjun gave a slight nod and the person left from there. Arjun too went from there and came outside where everyone was waiting for him.

Ary: Aap kidhar atak gaye the?

Arjun: Ek important call tha.

Sam looked at him with raised eyebrows.

Arjun: Woh humne jaha se trainng li uss academy me iss mahine ETF ko bulane ke liye Khandelwal sir ka call tha.

Sam: Mana kiya na?

Arjun nodded in yes.

Sam: Aur woh man gaye?

Arjun: Tumhe kya lagta hai Sam mujhe itna time kyu laga? Of course unko manane me hi time gaya ki we both cannot come there

Sam nodded in yes as he too knew unke woh trainer ko manana itna easy nahi hai but what he did not know was that his best friend was sighing internally as he could not catch his lie.

Adi: Ab chalte hai

Arjun: Ek minute..

All looked at him whereas Adi and Sam sighed as they both somewhat knew what was coming.

Arjun: Bhai ko aur bhabhi ko koi bhi kuchh nahi batayega ki kya baat thi. Specially bhai ko. Already pareshan hai bhabhi ki health ko leke.

Adi and Sam moke saluted him and sat on their cars. Abhi and Ahana shrugged their shoulders and sat in the car. Ayesha felt strange but she agreed and sat in the car. Shree, Liza and Chhotu took it as an another order of their senior and settled in car. Sakshi and Ary both were looking at Arjun with questioning gaze in return Arjun sat in the car without looking at them. Sakshi and Ary were smart enough to not ask anything when they could see mixture of emotions on his face.

Arakshi with Ary reached Rawte Villa and went inside and as expected Kunal, Kiara and Mr Mehra bombarded them with questions on what happened and why is Ary injured. Ary and Sakshi looked at Arjun as if asking hum bole ya na bole.

Arjun: Bhabhi pehle aap betho shanti se. Sab shant ho jao kuchh nahi hua.

Mr Mehra: Lekin beta yeh chaut..

Arjun: Ary ki ladai ho gayi thi school me. Ek ladke ke sath jiske father ko mujse dushmani thi. Ab meri baat ayegi to mera bhai chup thodi na reh payega. But things are under control. Uss ladke ko bhi apni galati ka ehsaas ho gaya hai. His father brainwashed him but now everything is fine.

Arjun looked at Sakshi and Ary as if saying ab issi story ko age badhana hai har jagah to which they both nodded. Arjun though said it confidently but he himself was not sure on what he was feeling.

Arjun: Ary ja fresh ho ja. Sakshi tum bhi fresh ho jao. Main bhi field mission pe gaya tha to fresh hoke aata hoon. Phir sab sath me chai nashta karte hai

Ary and Sakshi left. Arjun started leaving but Kunal stopped him.

Kunal: Jun..

Arjun: Ji bhai..

Kunal (while crossing his arms): Since when have you started hiding things from me?

................................................................

So.. that's it for this chapter.

I am not sure what will I write in next chapter but a leap will be coming soon.

What do you think with whom Arjun was talking?

Kindly share your feedback
