Aradhaya and Vihaan was returning back to the mansion , Aradhaya liked the farmhouse way to much after Vihaan gave her a tour.

They were sitting in the car and Aradhaya was thinking about their conversation in the farmhouse.

"Vihaan ji." She called him and he hummed in response concentrating in the in driving.

"Why didn't you continued your music." Aradhaya asked.

Vihaan sighed." I couldn't Aradhaya, my life revolves around business now." He said.

"But Vihaan ji you don't have any idea how your decision effected Vivian, he was doing a big mistake in his life." Aradhaya told him.

Vihaan sighed helplessly." But what can I do now Aradhaya trust me I didn't know my words would effect Viv like that." He said guilty.

"But now I m happy that you made him understand and everything is alright now." Vihaan said glancing at with a light smile.

Aradhaya shook her head." Vihaan ji I only showed him the path but only you can help to reach his destination. You don't know how insecure he was when he was telling me everything, his confidence is destroyed Vihaan ji," Aradhaya told him.

"Vihaan ji you are his ideal , your words has destroyed his confidence and only you can rebuild it with encouragement and support." Aradhaya tried to make him understand.

"Can I ask something from...." Aradhaya asked .

"Oh no you don't, j know very well what you are gonna ask but no I m not going to step into music world again." He said sternly.

Aradhaya made puppy eyes." Please nah Vihaan ji.. please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please...." Vihaan cut her off,

"Okay fine i will restart my singing but only for casual not officially now stop your please chanting.." He Chuckling a bit.

"Pinky promise." She asked forwarding her pinky.

Vihaan smiled at her childishness." Promise."

Aradhaya smiled wide and nodded I hope he again start his passion Gannu ji Aradhaya thought looking at him with a tender smile.

"You know I have to tell Nish that I didn't did as per her plan." Aradhaya said.

Vihaan glanced at her confusedly." What plan." He asked stopping the car at the signal.

Oh Gannu ji did I said it loud Aradhaya thought biting her tongue.

Vihaan narrowed his eyes at." Aradhaya spill it out, what did Nisha told you." He asked.

"Actually she called me and seeing my gloomy face she asked me what happened Soo I told her everything and then advised me to not forgive you easily and torture you with silent treatment." Aradhaya said sheepishly.

Vihaan shook his head." That girl is a devil." He said.

How dare he call my friend devil Aradhaya thought fuming.

" Don't say like that about her she is the sweetest girl ever." Aradhaya said smiling.

Not more than you Vihaan thought looking at her.

He started driving again and throughout the ride Aradhaya was blabbering and Vihaan was enjoying her talks.

Just as Vihaan and Aradhaya stepped inside the mansion Vidushi and Vivian stopped them in the Doorway.

"Sooooo Soo sooo looking at you guys happy face I can guess that everything is sorted out right." Vidushi said clapping her hands excitedly.

"But Bhai where did you take Bhaabi and took you guys Soo much time, what were you doing huh, tell me tell me." Vidushi said wriggling her eyebrows and Aradhaya looked away embarrassed.

"Yeah Bhai tell us." Vivian added.

Vihaan gaze landed on him and he smiled tightly, he walked towards Vivian and put his arm around his shoulder." Come I tell you everything." He said dragging him towards his room.

Vidushi and Aradhaya looked at them confused." Now what was that." Vidushi said.

"Vidushi Don't you think we have to complete our assignment." Aradhaya asked her folding her arms.

"Oh Bhaabi my assignment is completed long ago, you see I don't have any boyfriend nah Soo I have to spend all my time in those boring assignment only , poor me." Vidushi said dramatically wiping her invisible tears.

Aradhaya cheeks heated up hearing the word 'boyfriend'." Okay then I m going bye." She said and walked hurriedly towards her room.

In Vihaan rooms

"Bhai common I m getting impatient now tell me na ." Vivian said irritated to Vihaan who closing the door.

"Bha.... mummy......" He groaned as the punch landed on his stomach.

"You sneaky little bastard you said everything to Ar....Amaya.." Vihaan said angirly.

"Soo what I only said the truth and I know only Amaya Bhaabi can force you to start your passion again." He said.

Vihaan glared." And only I can give you a good lesson for becoming a traitor." He said loudly but before he can catch him Vivian started running.

"Viv wait , if you keep running like this then the punches will be more." Vihaan shouted trying to catch him.

After few minutes of tom and Jerry chasing Vivian sat on the couch panting like he just now participated in marathon.

"Wa...wait... time....out.." Vivian said panting while Vihaan shook his folding his arms.

"This is the reason why I tell you to start working out but no you are busy roaming around girls like a bee." Vihaan said annoyed.

Acha huya mene is khadush insan ki jaga Meri sweet Bhaabi ko Avneet k bare main bola, ager is khadush ko bolta tow Meri love story start hone se pehele hi the end ho jata Vivian thought making a face at Vihaan.

(Translation" it's good that I told my sweet Sister in law instead of this rude man about Avneet, if I would have told this rude man then my love story would have ended even be it started.")

Vihaan narrowed his eyes." Now spill out whatever colorful word you were calling me in your mind." Vihaan told him.

Vivian smiled at him sweetly." What Bhai don't say like that you are my sweet Bhai how can I call you any colorful words in my mind, it would be a sin for me nah to call my sweet Bhai anything." Vivian told him grinning wide not wanting another punch.

They heard a knock and Vihaan opened the door to set servant." Sir Mala ma'am is calling everyone for dinner." The servant said and left after Vihaan nodded.

"Let's go , Bhag ne ki tow stamina nehi ha , khane kii tow ha." Vihaan taunted.

(Translation" let's go, you don't have the stamina for running, but have for eating." )

Vihaan smiled cheekily." Bhai I didn't got riled up a bit , infact I m feeling very happy that you have this much stamina, because the more stamina you have the more nephew and niece I will get in future." He said with a wink and runaway before Vihaan could land another punch.

They all had dinner with teasing and laughing and light scolding from the elders, Aradhaya never been happy like this before, she felt blessed.

At midnight in Vihaan rooms

Vihaan was working on his laptop when a knock come on his door, " come in." He said still working.

Vivian peaked his head in." Hi Bhai." He said grinning.

Vihaan looked up." What happened want more punches." He asked switching of his laptop.

Vivian made a face and entered inside and then again grinned." Bhai can I stay here tonight like before."he asked looking at him hopefully.

Vihaan nodded his head smiling and Vivian jumped upon him on the couch."you baby hippo get off me." He said groaning in pain pushing him away.

"Why Bhai before I used to jump like this on you but you didn't said anything to me that time." Vivian said making a sad face.

Vihaan rolled his eyes sitting properly on the couch." Because that time you were small cute little kid not a brat like now." Vihaan said in duh tone.

"Bhai Amaya Bhaabi told me that you promised her you will again start singing, Soo will you again play guitar with me like before," he asked hopefully like a child.

Vihaan looked at him , he knows his stopping music in his life hurt Vivian a lot but after he heard everything from Vidushi that how he was sacrificing his dream he was shocked he didn't know that his decision and words would effect Vivian that much.

"Pinky promise." Aradhaya's voice rang in his ear and he smiled nodding." Okay go bring your guitar." He said and Vivian smiled a big smiled jumped up to bring his guitar.

Thanks Aradhaya if not for you, I wouldn't ever know how much i hurt my brother unknownly , you are like a angel , a innocent angel Vihaan thought with a smile.

Vivian come back with a two guitars and handed one to Vihaan, Vihaan caressed the guitar , it was not only the guitar he was touching it was his dream his passion which he once sacrificed.

Vihaan noticed a shadow in the doorway and smiled, he turned towards Vivian." Shall we Viv." He asked smiling and Vivian grinned back...

Next morning

"Vidushi no don't." Aradhaya whispered.

"No Bhaabi, I won't get another chance like this in future." Vidushi whispered back grinning evilly looking at the scene in front of her.

Aradhaya looked at her pleadingly but Vidushi ignored.

"God it will be Soo much fun." Vidushi said grinning wide.

"But they will be very mad." Aradhaya said worriedly.

Vidushi rolled her eyes." Do hell with their anger, and Bhaabi you also have to help." She said and went to bathroom leaving a helpless Aradhaya.

Aradhaya looked at the scene and smiled, Vivian and Vihaan both were on balcony with Vihaan in sitting position and Vivian head on his lap like a kid, both of their guitars were laying by their side.

They both look Soo cute Gannu ji Aradhaya thought smiling she took out her mobile and click a picture of them.

"Tadaaa, now let's give them watery morning." Vidushi said coming out of the bathroom with bucket filled with water.

Aradhaya gulped." Is it necessary." Aradhaya asked.

"Of course it's the birth responsibility of a sibling to make the other sibling Live a hell." Vidushi replied handing her a one bucket.

"On three okay." Vidushi said and Aradhaya nodded gulping.

"One, two and THREE." Vidushi shouted and SPLASH!!!!!!!

"WHAT THE FUCK."

"TSUNAMI... TSUNAMI... TSUNAMI TSUNAMI BHAI TSUNAMI HAS COME ."

Vihaan and Vivian wake up with with jolt shouting but stopped looking at the both girls who were laughing Soo hard looking at them.

"OMG that's was awesome I bet Bhaabi this video is going to be Damm viral." Vidushi said saving the video.

Vihaan and Vivian both fumed

"ARADHAYA!!!!!"

"VIDUSHI !!!!!!."

both of them shouted and lunged towards them Vidushi runaway from the room followed by a madbul like Vivian.

Aradhaya tried to run but Vihaan was fast, just as as she could touch the Doorknob Vihaan has caged her between the door and himself with his both Arms blocking her both sides.

Aradhaya was looking like a cute little girl who was catched doing something wrong and Vihaan couldn't help himself from smiling but he hide it.

"Sooo Ms.Aradhaya Patel what should I do with you for greeting me with this amazing way of good morning." Vihaan asked crocking his one eyebrow.

Aradhaya looked at him shocked."w-w-w-what will y-y-you d-d-d-do." Aradhaya didn't wanted to stutter she inst scared of him she didn't why but his presence never made her feel uncomfortable or scared. But she was scared not because of him but the weird feeling she was getting because of the closeness, he has caged her before to but today their was very less distance between them and the wet clothes of his didn't help much.

Oh Gannu ji what's happening to me Aradhaya thought as Vihaan was leaning closer to her and her heartbeat was getting more faster and faster.

"V-V-V-Vihaan j-j-i w-w-w-what a-r-re....." She broke of as she felt his hot breath on her ear.

She felt his hot breath on her ears and a shiver run down her spine , she closed her eyes as her mind was getting blank.

"Yesterday did you enjoyed my singing." He asked and straightened up.

Aradhaya eyes snapped open hearing him." Wh-what ar-are you saying." She asked nervously her mind slowly starting to work again.

"Don't try to lie I saw you yesterday outside my room when Viv and I was playing guitar at night." He told her smriking and she gulped.

"Woh..uh..woh..I.. have to.. call.Nisha..bye..." she said hurriedly and pushed him a little and runaway from there.

Vihaan run a hand through his hair." Fuck what's happening to me." He asked himself, he only wanted to tease her a little but when he saw the blush on her cheeks her uneven breathing how unknownly she was gripping his arms, his mind got totally shut.

_____________

"Don't worry Ishaan, until Nisha is here her safety is my responsibility, you don't worry." Vihaan said standing in front of the big window in his cabin.

"I know Vihaan but I can't help it last time when were in India you remember right what happened and you know my world it only filled it with danger and now as everyone got to know about her they are targeting her as my weakness." Ishaan worried voice come.

"Bro don't worry okay, you just go and I m sure this time you will surely get some clue about that Bastard." Vihaan said clenching his fist.

"Okay I have send Jaiden with Nisha but still you look after her." He said and hung up.

Vihaan looked at the screen and shook his head and he says he is heartless he thought.

He heard a knock and saw his assistant Priya there," sir everyone is waiting in the meeting room for you." Priya said.

Vihaan nodded.

_____________

"Aradhaya you should have made him suffer a little, you shouldn't have forgiven him Soo easily." Nisha said as as she Aradhaya Gia walked out of the airport.

"I know i..I.. can stay... angry at someone for long...its like a punishment for me." Aradhaya said.

"Nisha why are you making Amaya ma'am a devil like you." Jaiden said.

Nisha smiled sarcastically at him." We don't have any other options Jaiden, if the guys are Alpha males we girls also have to be female devil." Nisha told him and he shook his head at her

"Shall we all go out tomorrow." Nisha asked to Aradhaya.

"Yeah it will be fun, Gia you to come with us." Aradhaya said excited to Gia who nodded smiling.

They all moved out of the airport and Aradhaya saw Jackson waiting outside leaning on his car.

"Jackson what are you doing here and how did you know we are here." Gia asked surprised.

"I asked Vidushi and she told me that you guys are here, I didn't meet you and Aria from morning soo thought to come here and meet you guys." He said shrugging.

Aradhaya smiled while Nisha looked at him surprised, Gia smriked mischievously." It's good you come I have to read home early today will you drop Aradhaya to Rajput mansion." Gia said innocently.

Aradhaya looked at her shocked while Jackson smiled widely." Sure I would love to." He said.

"But Gia..." Aradhaya started but Gia cut her off,

"What Aradhaya remember you said you wanted to talk to him." Gia asked innocently.

"Yes I wanted but Nish..." She again cut her off.

"You don't worry I will give company to Nisha." Gia said and started pushing her towards Jackson car.

She forcefully made her sit inside and shut the door." Bye call me once you reach." She said waving her hand with a wink.

In the car

"Soo you wanted to talk to me about something." He asked while driving.

Aradhaya nodded."I wanted to apology yesterday I behaved rude with you , I m really sorry I didn't mean to talk like that...." Aradhaya was but stopped as Jack cut her off,

"Don't say sorry Aria you are way to precious for me and I don't want you to feel bad for anything." He said smiling resting his hand on top of her

Aradhaya smiled hesitated and slowly removed her hand Jackson saw it."am I making you uncomfortable.." He asked.

Aradhaya looked at him." Huh umm no it's just I m like this with everyone." She said smiling a forcefully,

He laughed a little." Oh I got it I should have known it you are way too shy." He said Chuckling.

Aradhaya smiled forcefully and looked out yes she is shy but it was not because of shyness she was feeling uncomfortable but then she has been close to Vihaan to more then close then this then why did at that time she didn't feel uncomfortable, why his closeness didn't make her uncomfortable,

Thinking about brought back the memories of todays morning incident and instantly Aradhaya felt herself blushing.

"See you are blushing, god I feel lucky to make you blush , you know girls only blush when they think about someone special." Jackson teased thinking he is the reason behind her blush.

Aradhaya looked at with widened eyes someone special V-Vihaan ji is special yes yes he is special he is a good guy my friend that's why he is special Aradhaya thought to herself nodded not bothering to correct Jackson, but deep down there is a feeling of worry which she didn't wanted to acknowledge.

They reached Rajput mansion in few minutes and Jack parked the car outside of the mansion gate.

Aradhaya come out of it." Thank you for the lift Jack." She told him smiling.

He smiled back." No problem and I would love to become your driver anytime you want." He told her and she laughed.

Jackson bide her bye and drove feeling happier than ever.

Aradhaya was just entered inside the gate when she heard a voice." What was he doing here." She turned around and saw Vihaan walking towards her while the driver drove his car towards parking area.

She instantly felt again those weird feeling in her stomach looking at him. His hair was messed up while the sleeves of his shirt was rolled up till elboy showing his veiny arms, he was holding his coat with the one hand .

Gannu ji how can Vihaan ji look Soo handsome even when he is tired he is looking so go..... what are you thinking Aradhaya, have gone mad or what Aradhaya thought with shock,

Vihaan snapped his fingers." Hello madam I can't even call with your name here Soo back to earth." He said smiling.

Aradhaya snapped back to reality and smiled at him sheepishly." He come to drop me." Aradhaya said walking again with Vihaan.

Vihaan frowned." Why didn't you took car and what about the bodyguards where were they." He asked with a tight voice.

"I wanted to talk to Jackson as I behaved rude with him yesterday and bodyguards were following our cars." Aradhaya said.

Vihaan frowned but didn't said anything, he knows Aradhaya is to innocent to understand anything.

In evening

After dinner Aradhaya and Vidushi were sitting and laughing looking at the video Vidushi recorded in the morning.

"God Bhaabi I m sure if I have posted this in Instagram I would got more likes and comments then Bhai gets on his single photo even if he post something useless, but how can a innocent good hearted sister like me see her brothers in misery." Vidushi said dramatically and Aradhaya chuckled.

Here both the guys are shooting daggers at their direction. Vivian thought something and smiled evilly, he whispered it to Vihaan who smriked.

"Hey guys let's watch some movies." Vivian said and Vidushi narrowed her in suspicion.

"Yeah let's watch it." Aradhaya said excited.

Vihaan and Vivian high-fived secretly.

They all went to Aradhaya's room, they all settled on the bed, Vihaan beside Aradhaya and his arm brushed her, she felt Sparks in her skin.

She shook her head to get rid of those thoughts and tried to focus on the movie .

"Viv which movie is this." Vidushi asked suspiciously.

Vivian made a thoughtful expression." It's a nice ramcom movie I watched it yesterday and I thought that it's good to have a nice laugh before going to bed, hey wait let me switch of the lights it will add more realistic effect." Vivian said secretly smriking and getting of the bed.

Realistic effect in ramcom movie by switching off lights Vidushi thought.

They watched the movie first it was fine but then weird things started happening in the movie and Vidushi instantly catched his plan

"Viv you said it's a ramcom movie then why the hell are we watching conjuring." Vidushi said gritting her teeth.

Aradhaya's eyes widened in horror, oh Gannu ji it's a horror movie she thought with panic.

Vivian made a innocent face." Oh I might have mistakenly did it , any let's watch as we have come far to end in the middle only if you girls are not scared like a little kid." Vivian mocked that riled Vidushi up.

"You don't worry about us just make sure you don't make your bedsheets wet tonight." Vidushi mocked back and Vivian glared at her.

They all settled down unknown that the poor soul in middle of them was sweating and gulping in fear.

When the ghost appeared Aradhaya unknownly clutched Vihaan hand and closed her eyes, Vihaan saw her clutching his hand, He understood she is afraid and held her hand tightly.

Aradhaya opened her eyes and looked at Vihaan who gave her a smile warm smile." I m here don't worry." He whispered softly.

Aradhaya again felt those weird feeling in her stomach, she held his hand tightly and smiled back, she felt a feeling of safety holding his hand, and a warmness in her heart which she didn't wanted to fade.
