Kavita abetted Aarti who had packed her bags. Indeed upset of her life and the circumstances, She wanted to meet Veer once before leaving.

Veer's reaction at her Mother's prerequisite was upsetting her. With resentment in her eyes she wanted to question him about the way he countered, and that too without being rational. Little things can put him to wrath but this was about their life and she obviously loves her parents as well...

All these years she didn't heeded to her parents at all but now when they only have one condition, she cannot go against them.

"I will talk to Veer" Aarti kept the bags near the couch...

Although her mother would be annoyed but she still needs to speak to him...

Sheetal smiled a little... "He will surely listen to you Aarti...only you can convince him"

"Convince?" Aarti shook her head in despair

Mr Oberoi kept his hand on Aarti's head "I hope everything sets alright"

Rama furiously stepped towards Aarti...

"Aarti....you won't listen to us?" Rama yelled at her

"Mom please, let me speak to Veer" Aarti beseeched her Mother

"This insult wasn't enough, you want to speak more..." Rama crossed her arms and stood in front of Aarti...

"Mom, one last time. I agree with your condition. I will try and explain him" Aarti begged

Aarti gave an earnest look at her Dad who now got up from the couch.

"Rama, why did you keep this condition?"

"Manmohan please, Aarti is our Daughter....don't you want a safe future for her?"

"Rama, look at Aarti first. She loves Veer without any conditions and you didn't even ask her once before putting this forward in front of everyone" Manmohan snapped at his wife...but Rama was adamant.

"Aarti, you go and speak to Veer, try to resolve this" Manmohan allowed his Daughter

The moment she opened the door Sameer and Arjun observed her....they smiled and left

Aarti looked at the irate man sitting on the bed...he didn't even look at her once. She closed the door from behind.

------------------------------------

Kavita indignantly watched Arjun who grinned at her...

"You're still angry?"

"No, happy" she bite back

"Kavita...please don't act like a child"

"I am acting?" she blast at him

"Kavita...lower your voice" Arjun glowered irritably this time

"Why do you talk to me?"

"Oh yes, I forgot I shouldn't talk to an illiterate woman who fails to understand what I mean"

He sauntered outside

Sheetal tried to calm her "Kavita, you shouldn't reply like this to Arjun"

"Stop Sheetal, you don't know him. He's so irritating"

Sheetal shook her head and looked at Sameer who was almost on the edge of laughing.

------------------------------------------

"Why did you let Aarti talk to him again?" Rama countered at Manmohan

"Rama, she's my daughter and I don't want her to suffer just because of your compulsion" Manmohan picked up the newspaper

"Did you look at his wounds....terrorists know him. It's not very hard for them to find out about Aarti..." Rama kept her hand on her forehead

"Check out any newspaper...he's the pride of the whole nation and you have picked up this small thing."

"Small thing? You just won't understand anything Manmohan. So let me handle this"

Manmohan felt bad for Mr Oberoi who had accepted Aarti as his daughter in law already. He watched him praying, "Don't worry Mr Oberoi, everything will be fine"

---------------------------------------------

Aarti quietly sat next to Veer on the bed "won't talk to me?"

Veer squeezed the plastic bottle in his hand. Fury inside him was making him livid.

"Just leave Aarti" he made a straight face

"Come on Veer, I didn't even knew that my Mother will keep this condition..." Aarti touched his hand

He looked at her "then explain to your Mother, that I will never leave my job"

Aarti watched his angry expressions "Veer...try and understand. My Mom just wants me safe. She means..."

Veer cut her in between "Aarti, I will not understand"

She watched his eyes full of anger "I will never leave my job. If you feel unsafe. You can leave me"

Aarti had tears in her eyes... "You are so mean Veer... you don't even think about me at all"

"Stop these tears Aarti...they cannot melt me"

She hopped off the bed "fine...this is too much Veer...you insulted my Mom, now you are saying straight on my face to leave you"

Veer shouted at her "get out..."

This time Aarti fumed...she had tears in her eyes. "I am getting out of your life. I will never see your face again..."

"Good" he smirked at her

"I am leaving from here" hoarsely she tried to take out words

"I didn't invite you"

"I hate you Veer....I just hate you" she banged the door behind her...

"Get lost" he shouted

She stepped out of the room and cried bitterly...

"Aarti..."

Sheetal quickly rushed towards her...

"I am leaving from here Sheetal...I don't want to stay here even for a minute" Aarti sobbed

Sheetal felt bad for her.... "What happened Aarti? Did Veer say...?"

Aarti watched her parents looking at her ...

"I am not surprised Aarti...I knew this would happen" Rama picked up her bag "now let's go"

Uday and Nakul bad for Aarti...but they knew no one can persuade Veer...it's his verdict.

Aarti picked up her bag and saw at Mr Oberoi who was sitting on the couch, with moist eyes he looked at her

"Mr Oberoi....I am leaving" she wept excessively

Aarti touched his hands "you please take your medicines on time..."

She couldn't speak more...continuous crying made her voice croaky

Mr Oberoi hugged her "Aarti...don't go my daughter..."

Aarti cried out loudly while hugging him "you please take care"

After few minutes she was about to leave.... When Mr Oberoi shouted "Aarti" and fainted on the floor...

Aarti came rushing to Mr Oberoi....

-----------------------------------------------------------

Everyone waited outside the hospital room...

The doctor came out of the emergency "Mr Oberoi wants to see Veer and Aarti"

Aarti furiously looked at Veer...she blamed Veer for causing this situation. He was so heartless and rude.

Veer watched her with all his ferocity.... He wanted to slap her, it's because of her that his Father had heart attack. Neither she would have landed in Mumbai and got emotional to his Dad, nor would he have ended up in the hospital...

Both walked towards the bed.... Aarti saw the machines all around him...

"Aarti..." he softly called her name

She stepped closer and hold his hand "don't talk Mr Oberoi...you will be fine"

Mr Oberoi watched scowls on his Son's face "Veer..."

Veer came closer "Dad.... you must rest"

"Veer...I have never asked anything from you..." Mr Oberoi gazed at his son

"You have sworn to serve your country but today you have to give a promise to your Father."

"Dad please...you shouldn't talk"

"No Veer...you have to keep this promise first." Mr Oberoi hold his hand

Veer was clueless about what his Dad was after...but this time he only wanted his Dad's life.

"Ok Dad...I will do what you say. I promise"

Mr Oberoi smiled a little...then looked at Aarti. He gave Aarti's hand in his.

"You have to marry Aarti or you watch your dad dying in front of you"

Veer was shocked at his dad's requisite ....
