Recap - Raghav revealing the truth behind Kavyas death , shattered Arjun

Raghav turned his face to Arjun. And smirked. Walking towards him.

"Wow. Like seriously Arjun? You moved on in your life. I barely can believe. New life. Girlfriend? Engagement. Can't believe it" he laughed. Eyeing Aarohi. She turned her face away.

"Tell me one thing Arjun. Is this really happening with your daughters consent? Or...you're just keeping her with you to satisfy yourself" Raghav said making Arjun. Loose his temper. He kicked Raghav. With his leg. Making him fall in the ground.

The goons. Took out their weapons. Aiming at Arjun. Raghav asked them to stop. He stood up from the ground. Eyeing Arjun in anger.

"You haven't changed a bit Arjun" saying this he punched Arjun. In his cheek. Making him spit blood

"Arjun..."

"Nanna.."Nivi screamed and tried to run towards her father. Aarohi gripped her tighter. Not letting her go

"Aaru di..i want to go to nanna"she begged

" Nivi..don't go there. Listen to me" Tears rolled down her cheeks as well.

"Please Aaru di"

Aarohi felt helpless. Seeing Nivi. In tears. She was begging her through tears. Aarohi left her wrist. Nivi ran towards her father. Raghav watched them with a smirk

Nivi stood before Arjun. He raised his head. And Looked His daughter. In tears. She cupped his cheeks. Arjun closed his eyes feeling her soft palm on his cheeks.

"Is it hurting too much nanna..?"She asked touching his wounds. Arjun smiled. Shaking his head

"Why these people are hurting you..?"

Arjun kissed her palms.

"They want us to suffer. Like how they did to your Amma."

"Did they kill my...Amma?"

Hot liquid. Rolled down his cheeks. Nivi never saw his father. In such a terrible state.

" I love you nanna.." She hugged him. He kissed her hairs. Keeping his chin on her head

"I love you too Baby"

She smiled at him and kept her palm on his chest

"Everything will be alright nanna"

He nodded. And looked at Aarohi. Who stood staring at them. Helplessly

"Go and stand near Aaru di..Don't go away from her okay? We will be safe and We will return back home"

Nivi nodded her head and walked back to Aarohi. Arjun took a deep breath. Thinking about Kavya and then looked at Raghav. With red shot eyes. Who smirked back at him

"If you are a man. Set my hands free. And fight alone. Only if you have the guts" Arjun said making Raghav fume.

He asked a goon to undo his hands. Arjun was set free.

Raghav walked to him. Shaking his head side ways. Grabbed Arjun by his neck and smashed his head in the wall.

Nivi hugged Aarohi tightly. Unable to witness the scene. Aarohi closed her eyes. As tears rolled down her cheeks.

Arjun fell on the floor. He raised his head to see Raghav. Smirking at him. He wished to kill him. The man who spoiled his life.

Kavya.

He closed his eyes tightly. And got up from the ground. Dusting his shirt. Raghav tightened his fist to punch him but this time Arjun held his wrist. Punching his stomach by the other. He kicked him hard. Making him spit the blood.

The goons who noticed. Raghavs efforts going him vain. Joined him soon. Arjun punched them. Endlessly. Showering his anger on them.

Raghav fell on a cornor. His nose bled. Continuously

"Kill him. Kill that bast***" he screamed. Struggling to get up

Nivi noticed Raghavs phone lying in a cornor. Which slipped from his hands. She loosened her hold over Aarohi. And quickly grabbed the phone from the floor.

She held Aarohis wrist. Grabbing her to a cornor. She dialled Rajs number and gave it to Aarohi.

"Aarohi. Where are you guys? Is Nivi safe?"

"Raj.."she breathed finally. Informed about the happenings.

"Okay. Don't worry. I'm coming there"

"Raj. We don't know the place"

"Doesn't matter Aarohi. Keep the phone on. Will trace it out"

Aarohi nodded in relief. Hiding the phone within herself.

Raghav was finally under Arjuns arms. He punched him once. Twice and then thrice

"Why? Just for money. You spoiled my life. My happiness. You snatched away my Kavya. You made me a beast. Damn it" he screamed kicking him on stomach

Raghav fell down again. A goon held him from behind. Catching hold of his neck. Arjun struggled to get rid of the hold.

Nivi ran to her father. And bited the goons palm. Making him flinch. In return he slapped her little cheek. She fell down on the floor

"Nivi" Aarohi screamed. Rushing to her. And took her in his arms. Nivi sobbed silently. In aarohis embrace. She shivered

Arjun looked at the goon. Grabbing him by his neck. He smashed his head to the pillar. Once and then twice.

Engrossing himself. Punching one by one who came by his way. He failed to notice Raghav. Who stood on his feets. Aiming the gun at Arjun

Aarohi felt her earth moving beneath her feets. She didn't think twice. Before rushing towards Arjun

" Arjun.."She screamed pushing him aside.

On the Next moment the two bullets hit her.

" Aaru di"Nivi shouted closing her ears with her palms and closing her eyes tightly. Shutting her eyes tight

Arjun turned and looked at her with utter shock. He froze on the spot. Seeing her collapsing on the floor. When her vision blurred. Her legs went weak. He held her tightly. In his arms. She fell on his chest

Raghav stomped his foot. Aiming the gun at him again.

The sirens engulfed the building. Raj was here. With the police force.

"Damn it"he muttered under his breath. Trying to get out of the building. The goons tried to scoot away too.

" Aarohi.."He made her lay on his lap. Holding her cheeks. Watching her gasping for breath

"Aarohi.. Look at me" he found it hard to breath. Tears rushed out from his eyes.

Aarohi opened her eyes faintly. Looking at Arjun. Nivi looked at them. Shivering. And scaring. Seeing Aarohi

Her blood soaked Arjuns palms.

"Ar.. Arjun.."

"Why..? Why the hell did you?"he screamed. Hugging her close

"You'll be safe Aarohi.. You'll be safe"he kept saying. His voice shook with tears

He tried to take her in his arms. She stopped him.

" Arjun.. I.. I..will be.."She gripped his wrists tightly.

"Nothing will happen to you okay.. I'm here"

"No.. Arjun.. I think.... I think..this..is ...my fate.. I...I'm destined to go.. away from my loved ... ones"

"Just shut up Aarohi.."

She held his cheek. Smilingly and gasped for breath again

"Arjun..Don't. Don't be sad. Even...if I..Die"

" Aarohi. beg you.. please be quiet"he hugged her tightly. Looking around for any help

Aarohis eyes passed across Nivi. Who stood. Shivering and Crying

"Nivi"she muttered slowly

She looked back at Arjun and gripped him tighter

"Arjun..Nivi. She's..My Baby. Dont. Don't be angry. With her. Keep her. Happy"

She closed her eyes slowly and her breath went slow. He kept her closer to his heart..

"No. look at me Aarohi..you can't go away from me. You can't do this. Look at me. Aarohiii"He screamed.

"Arjun" Raj rushed to them. Taking Nivi in his arms.

Raghav and his men were arrested

Arjun took Aarohi in his arms. Felt his world collapsing again. Then. It was Kavya. Now Aarohi. Cursing himself for his ill fate. He prayed. Silently. Destiny was so cruel. With him. With her as well
