SHIVANSH'S POV:

I was sitting outside when everyone came out leaving Inayat inside. Some time before, Aahana, Adwit, and Advik had also come because they are also a part of the plan. So right now, everyone is standing in front of me. I stood up from my seat and asked them, "What happened? Why did you all come out leaving Inayat alone?"

To which Rhea replied, "She was tired and also feeling drowsy due to the medicines, so she is resting now. When she wakes up and feels a little better, we'll go to my apartment."

I nodded, then I turned to Aahana and said, "Bacha, you remember what you have to do, right?"

Aahana nodded and said, "Of course, bhai, don't worry."

Then I turned towards Advik and Adwit and raised my eyebrows, questioning them the same. But instead of answering, they just walked towards me, hugged me, and started saying, "Bhaiya, we will miss you so much. How will we manage without you?"

And I knew this was all a drama. Deep down, I knew they would be the happiest ones because now no one will stop their mischief. So I pulled back from them and said, "Oh, if you are going to miss me so much, then do one thing, don't go and stay with me only. And you can even come to the office to spend some time."

Their faces were worth seeing after hearing this. They were literally terrified. Then they immediately said, "No, no bhai, we'll manage for a few days, don't worry. After all, doing this is necessary for you, right?"

Listening to them, everyone started laughing. I just shook my head at their childishness. But I felt happy because after so many days, they are happy. And now I have hope that maybe everything will go well.

Finally, after 2 hours, Inayat woke up, and now they will leaving for Rhea's house.

INAYAT'S POV:

I was sitting on the hospital bed, and everyone was present here. I felt so happy seeing everyone near me except for one person. Yes, Mr. Kapoor, of course, but he is just not ready to leave me. So now I have decided that I won't react because he doesn't mean that much to me that I ruin my peace for him.

Let him be here; anyway, it's just a matter of a few days. But leaving him, I was just so happy to see everyone here. A few months back, I did not have a family and only had Rhea with me, but now it seems like I have a big family.

I leaned on the headboard of the bed and looked around the room. Aryan bhaiya was checking some papers. Advay bhai was talking to Mr. Kapoor near the door. Aahana, Adwit, and Advik had gone to the hospital cafe to grab some coffee. And Rhea, she was sitting on the chair nearby and looking at Advay bhaiya. Wait, what! Rhea was looking at Advay bhaiya, no, not looking, actually staring.

I was going to ask Rhea about it, but before that, Aahana approached me. She sat near me and said, "Inu dii, can I ask you something?"

I leaned towards her, patted her cheeks, and said, "Anything you want, baby."

Then she held my hand and said, "Okay, then let me come with you to Rhea di's place. I want to stay with you until you are here and want to spend as much time as possible with you before you leave."

Honestly, I was very emotional listening to her. Even I wanted to spend time with them. I eagerly wanted to say yes to her, but then Mr. Kapoor's words echoed in my head.

Few days back in this same hospital, he had said, "Aajke baad kabhi bhi mujhe apni shakal mat dikhana aur mere bhai behen ke paas aane ki toh bilkul koshish bhi mat karna. Aur agar maine tumhe kahin pe bhi humare aas paas dekha toh tumhe jaan se maar dunga. Aur jo mein bolta hun, mein karta hun."

Aahana is just a child; she doesn't understand the intensity of the situation. But I know it very well, and right now, I don't want to do anything that might give Mr. Kapoor another chance to point fingers at me. So, I decided to deny Aahana. But when I looked at her, she had tears in her eyes.

Then she said, "Inu dii, please na." While saying this, her voice broke, and with that, something else also broke, which was my heart. The rift is between Mr. Kapoor and me, and he's at fault in all of this. What's the fault of these kids? Why should they be upset? Anyway, it's just a matter of a few days, and then everything will be back to normal, and we'll all go our separate ways.

So, I looked at Aahana and said, "Okay, fine, you can come with us. I don't have a problem. But..."

But before I could finish my sentence, Advik and Adwit also ran towards us and literally shouted, "If Aahana dii goes, then we will also go. We also want to spend time with you."

These kids are just so adorable. If it were up to me, I would never stay away from them. But what can I do? Thinking this, I looked at the door and found Mr. (The Root Of My Problem) Kapoor already looking at me.

I felt a sudden wave of anger rushing towards me because everything that's happening right now is happening because of him.

But ignoring him, I turned towards the three who were keenly waiting for my reply. So, I said, "Okay, fine, I don't mind if you want to go with me. But I would suggest that you better ask your brother about that. Because otherwise, he might come to me later and say that I forced you to come with me or worse, his overactive brain might ASSUME that I kidnapped you all." I stressed on the word 'assume' because it seems like all his decisions are based on assumptions only.

SHIVANSH'S POV:

She said those words straight, looking into my eyes. And somehow, she is right. All the problems that we are facing right now are due to my assumptions only. If I were the same old Shivansh, maybe I would have yelled at her in anger upon hearing those words. But Inayat's love has changed me for good.

Earlier, somewhere in my heart, I knew that I liked her, but I had thought that maybe it was just a mere attraction because I had never really thought about love before. But she was definitely not lying when she said that she loved me, and she even proved it.

How could I have been so foolish to not see her love? Even now, hearing her words, I was feeling angry, but the only difference was that now I was angry with myself. Flashbacks of all those moments when I had spoken harshly to her were coming back to me. I started feeling guilty again.

It's been more than a month since that incident and Inayat being at hospital, and I haven't been able to do anything properly because every time I try to think about something, I end up stopping at thoughts of her.

If it weren't for Advay, my company would have sunk by now because even during meetings, I keep thinking about Inayat and ways to ask for her forgiveness. I didn't know how long I had been lost in these thoughts until Advay called me out, and when I came back to my senses and looked around, Inayat was standing ready to leave.

I know she needs space, and I will give it to her. And if I have to wait a lifetime, I will, but that doesn't mean I won't try to win her back. I'll keep doing that all the time. Thinking this, I went to her. But when I reached near her, she started leaving, but I quickly held her hand.

I thought she would pull her hand away from mine, but to my surprise, she didn't. She had her back towards me, and she didn't even turn around, but it seemed like she was waiting for me to speak. So, I took the chance.

I said, "Inayat, I know I've made a mistake, and I'm ready to apologize a thousand times. I don't know what happened to me at that time and how I let my mind win over my heart. My heart was telling me that you can never do this, but due to my past experiences, I couldn't trust you.

I know whatever I did, no matter how many reasons I give, it can never be justified, and I don't expect you to forgive me. But at least, Inayat, give me a chance, just one chance to prove that I've changed, or let me say, to prove that I've actually fallen for you very hard."

When I said this, particularly the last line, I could feel her hand shaking a bit. I looked around, and starting from Aryan to Adwit, everyone's eyes were on me, but the one I wanted to see wasn't even turning around. Then, within seconds, she pulled her hand away from mine and just left without even looking at me.

And my heart pained with that. Maybe this is what she must have felt when I had told her all those harsh words. With her, everyone else also left. They had decided that first they would go to our mansion with Aryan, then pack their bags, and then leave for Rhea's place. Inayat and Rhea would directly go to Rhea's place.

They all told me this and left, but I was still standing there in the hospital cabin and then closed my eyes. Somewhere, I expected this. But at least she listened to me. Then someone kept a hand on my shoulder, and I opened my eyes to see Advay standing near me.

He looked very sad. So I patted his back and said, "Advay, it's okay. It's natural for her to react like this. I have hurt her a lot. And now, I have to try harder."

To which he replied, on the verge of crying, "But bhai, I can't see you heartbroken again."

I know he must be thinking that maybe I'll again become the same old Shivansh from two years ago. I sighed and told him to sit on the bed.

I took a chair and sat in front of him and said, "Look, Advay, I know what you're afraid of, but I won't be like that again. I assure you I would never choose the path I took back then. Right now, I have to win Inayat back.

She's angry with me, and maybe she even hates me, but that doesn't mean she stopped loving me. I'm still living in that hope. And even if she doesn't love me right now, I will keep trying until I can reignite that feeling in her heart.

The mistake was mine, so I have to bear the consequences."

Listening to this, Advay just nodded, tears flowing from his eyes. For the world, Advay is just like me, without any emotions and strict, but only I know the real him. He is still a kid at heart, full of emotions, and when it comes to me, he is a bit too emotional.

And I also love all my siblings, but Advay holds a special place in my heart. He has never left me alone, neither when I was on the wrong path and my parents disowned me, nor now when I've again made mistakes.

I wiped his tears and said, "Okay, enough of this crying now. Get up, you need to go to Rhea's place."

He quickly raised his head and looked at me, saying, "But why? That wasn't part of the plan. I won't go there."

Okay, I expected this. So, putting on my strict demeanor, I said, "Advay, no arguments. You need to go."

He retorted, "But bhai, how will you manage alone?"

I shook my head and said, "Advay, I'm not a child who can't handle myself. And those two troublemakers will go there, and I don't trust them one bit. They'll mess everything up, so someone needs to handle the situation.

That's why you need to go there. Besides, you'll be at the office from morning till evening anyway. So, stop making excuses, get ready to leave. Now c'mon I also need to go to the office. Just make sure everything goes according to plan."

He let out a long breath, muttered an okay, and stood to leave. I also stood and again said, "And don't worry, I'll keep coming." To which he smiled and left. And now, I also need to head to work.

I sat in my car, and just then, I remembered something. So, I called a number, and he picked up in two rings. Of course, he would pick up as fast as he can; after all, I am his boss.

I asked him about the man whom Inayat had kicked today. Her kick was so hard that after some time, he fainted, and he needed to be admitted to the hospital. She has got some super strength in her that even just after her recovery she has got so much power.

And thankfully, Rhea had removed the bullets from Inayat's gun, or else today, she would have wiped out all my men. Yes, they were my men, and that's what was written in the mail sent by Rhea.

She had said to plot such a situation and make a fake attack so that we can stop Inayat, giving reasons for her safety and security. Vikrant going missing acted as a favor, as she didn't doubt the plan. But Inayat getting injured and having to go to the hospital was not part of the plan.

But maybe it was God's plan because due to the injury, she would need help even to walk, which reduced her chances of traveling. Sending Aahana, Advik, and Adwit to her house was also part of her plan so that I can get my way in the future.

When I first read her mail, I thought she had gone crazy. But then I didn't have any other option, so I did what she said, and I'm happy it worked. Thanks to her.

With this, I started my car and went to the office. I have many overdue meetings to handle. And all thanks to me.

INAYAT'S POV:

I was leaving the hospital cabin when Mr. Kapoor held my hands. I wanted to pull my hands back and just leave right then, but I could not. I wanted to turn, look at him, and shout at him, but I could not.

I took a deep breath, closed my eyes, and decided that okay, for the last time, I will listen to him. Give him peace, and then never look at him again. So, I just stood there waiting for him to speak.

But when he spoke and what he said just made me cry. Tears were forming in my eyes, and I was trying very hard to not let them fall so that everyone would think that I don't care about his words anymore.

But the truth was far different. I have been in love with him for two years, and it is just not easy for me to unlove him within days and move on. I need time because I had truly loved him.

But when he said he loves me, that's it. Now I could not control it anymore, so I quickly left from there. We are in the car now. Rhea and I are heading to her place, and Aahana, Adwit, and Advik will join later.

While on my way, I was just thinking about what Mr. Kapoor said. He said he loves me, but until now, I am not able to see that love. If he truly loved me, he would have trusted me, but he didn't. So, now how can I trust him!

For sure, his voice held guilt and regret. I am not denying that, but love? I just could not feel it. Maybe he is again playing some trick to fool me, but I don't think so because his eyes held honest guilt for his actions. Then maybe he is mistaking his guilt for love.

But whatever it is, I just don't want to forgive him, and I won't. I was becoming irritated thinking about him again and again, so I decided to divert my mind. I turned towards Rhea, who was engrossed in her phone, and started talking to her.

I asked her, "Rhea, your flat is not that big to accommodate all five of us. How will we be living there?"

To which she replied, "Don't worry, I have already sorted that out while you were lost in your thoughts."

I just rolled my eyes listening to her. She then said, "The flat opposite ours was empty, and it wasn't being used, so I talked to the owner of the flat and bought it."

I nodded. We don't know how long they are going to live, but until they are here, they should live comfortably, so I think that's a good option. Then we talked about certain other things, and we finally reached.

We reached our apartment and freshened up. After around an hour, the bell rang, and there they were, here grinning widely: Aahana, Adwit, and Advik.

I welcomed them, and we all settled on the living room couch. Rhea went to bring coffee for us, and I started chatting with them. It was just fifteen minutes when the bell rang again.

At this time, we were not expecting anyone, so we were just confused. Rhea went to open the door, and I leaned towards the end of the couch to see who it was.

But seeing the person standing in front of the door shocked me.
