As soon as they reached land again, the police was waiting for them. Karan & Mihir was arrested while Jayant followed the police in his own car. Gauri silently sobbed and Bhavya consoled her.

"Nahi...this can ruin Karan's life. I need to get him bailed....no matter what he is my brother." Divya thought as she watched him being taken away.

"Divi....we should go now." Samar whispered to his sister.

"Haan varna, Ma will question why all three of us are away from home for so long." Yuvaan added. 

Yeah...ok. Bye guys." Divya gave them a small smile.

Samar, Yuvaan & Bhoomi were about to get into a car when a voice called them from behind.

"Rukho." Everyone turned around and saw Shivaay. "Come and stay at Oberoi Mansion for a bit."

Shivaay may have said "a bit" but he wanted to keep his kids with him forever. Everyone was surprised to see him stop the boys. Liek a reflex, Samar & Yuvaan turned to look at their sister.

"Shit...what do we do?" Their expressions said.

"Give any excuse....you know you guys cant stay. How will Aarav & Ved handle Ma alone?" Divya told them through her expressions.

"Umm...we would have loved to Mr Oberoi but....I actually have a couple of concerts lined up." Yuvaan lied.

"And I have photoshoot." Samar added. "We're very busy...sorry."

"Im not asking....I am telling you." Shivaay said sternly. "Postpone your work and come stay at Oberoi Mansion. After all you are Ayesha's fiance (looking at Samar) and you (looking at Yuvaan) are Divya's friend's boss...right? (smirks)"

Samar opened and closed his mouth a couple of times but couldnt think of an excuse while Yuvaan had already given up. Both the brothers again looked to Divya. Seeing this, Shivaay chuckled softly. "Divya...what do you say? Dont you think they should come? Even though the deal is cancelled, Shera did come all the way here at such short notice."

"Uh..."

"So its decided....you three, follow us to Oberoi Mansion." Shivaay said. Having no other option, Samar, Yuvaan and even Bhoomi nodded.

*********************

"Shera....yeh tumahara asli naam hai kya?" Pinky asked. They had arrived to Oberoi Mansion a few minutes ago and now Samar & Yuvaan sat on the couch while the family members talked to them. 

"Pinky....of course its not his real name." Jhanvi rolled her eyes. "Its probably a stage name...right?"

"Yeah...my name is Yuvaan Tri-aah!" Yuvaan yelled out as Divya pressed her heel on his toe and Samar pinched his arm hard. "I mean...Yuvaan....sirf Yuvaan."

"Haaye...bohot pyara naam hai."

Shivaay watched emotionally as Pinky unknowningly bonded with her gandsons.

"Shivaay..." Om whispered. "What's going through your mind? Why did you stop them here?"

"Is it because they lied about their relation?" Bhavya asked. "If you want, I can ask-"

"No....no need to ask them anything. I am sure they have their reasons for lying." Shivaay defended his kids. "Just like, I have my reasons for stopping them."

"Vaise...these two are here but where did Divya go?" Rudra asked loking around. Shivaay also noticed at that point that Divya wasnt there anymore.

"She must be around...Ill go look for her." Shivaay said and then left.

"O...have you noticed how protective bhaiyya is becoming of Divya lately?" 

"Haan...especially since yesterday....something is up." Om replied.

Meanwhile, Shivaay was looking for Divya when he walked towards the pool area. There he saw Divya talking on the phone.

"I know that Mr. Khatri, but this is his first offence and technically Im the victim and Im not pressing any charges....so, there must be a way to get Karan bailed quickly na?"   

"What are you doing?" Shivaay asked, startling Divya so much that she accidentally dropped her phone into the pool.

"Oh shit my phone!" Divya bent to look where it dropped. Seeing this, Shivaay quickly grabbed her arm and pulled her away.

"Divya what are you doing? You almost drowned yesterday and now you're fooling around near the pool? You have to stay at least 5 feet away from the pool at all times, understand?"

Divya stared at him for a secind and then burst out laughing. "Haha haha!"

"Why are you laughing? Maine joke maara hai kya?" Shivaay asked.

"Haha Haha No...No Haha haha...I..Im sorry but...You do realize Im an adult right? I mean yesterday I was pushed into the ocean so thats different but I wont fall into the pool just by standing near it."

"But-"

"Relax Pa-Mr Oberoi...Im not a child...Ill be fine."

"Hmm you're not a child...tabhi you are trying to bail out the person who always tried to harm you." Shivaay said.

"Oh....you heard."

"I did...Divya, whatever is happening with Karan...its his own karma, he deserves it." Shivaay told Divya.

"Yeah but he is m- your nephew...do you really want something like this on his permanent record?" Divya asked.

"No...I dont, but if he isnt punished properly, he will never learn. Honestly, I doubt he will learn even after this but as his mother, this is the first time Gauri took the right decision.....we should respect her decision." Shivaay gently explained to Divya. Finally understanding, Divya nodded but she wasnt happy about it. Shivaay caressed Divya's hair as he thought about how much she was like him....and also all the things that reminded him about Anika. At that moment, Samar & Yuvaan walked in looking for Divya.

"Divi-" Yuvaan froze as he noticed Shivaay and quickly changed what he was about to say. "-iiiiya....Bhoomi was looking for you."

"Haan....um...she....she....wanted to borrow some clothes, since she didnt bring any clothes of her own." Samar added.

Shivaay just stood there amused at his sons attempting to lie."Divya is better at hiding things than these two. She definitely takes after me, while these two take after Anika."

"I'll leave you three to talk." Shivaay excused himself and left. He didnt go very far but he did want his kids to be themselves for a bit.

"Guys...come here." Divya smiled at her brothers. Samar & Yuvaan both walked to her and she smacked the back of their heads.

"OW!" Samar & Yuvaaan yelled holding their heads in pains. Shivaay had to control himself from laughing. "Divi yaar what was that for?"

"You two are idiots...that what it was for. Seriously guys you need to stop looking at me for everything...what are we five? Sabko paata chalega that something is up if you keep looking at me whenever you two are stuck." Divya said.

"Ok ok meri ma...we wont any more." Samar said. "But vaise...its doesnt look like Papa is going to let us go any time soon....what now?"

"Yeah, what if Ma aur Prinku bua get suspicious?" Yuvaan asked.

"For now, Aarav & Ved will have to handle it...baaki we will think of a way for you guys to go back soon."

***************

Later that night, Divya was doing some work on her laptop when she heard a soft knock on her door. Getting up, she went to the door and opened it to see Samar & Yuvaan standing there.

"Whats up guys?"

"Bhook lagi hai." Yuvaan said.

"Dono ko?"

"Sirf isse...he's is the only one who gets hungry at this time." Samar corrected. "And I dont know why he dragged me with him."

"Oh come on guys, the three of us are together after so long!  I thought we could hang and chill together."

"You want to hang...12 o clock at night?" Divya asked.

"Yeah dude, I was sleeping!" Samar said.

"Haan toh, when else can we? Infront of everyone else we have to pretend we arent even close." Yuvaan replied. Samar & Divya looked at each other and sighed.

"Ok fine." Divya said. "Niche chalte hai. Ill get some snacks and we can watch a movie....like when we were kids."

"Yes! Horror movie!" Yuvaan said.

"No yaar!" Samar groaned.

"No way! Leave us...you're the one who gets the most terrified!" Divya said.

"Haan toh....thats the fun! Come on, Ill choose the movie!" Yuvaan cheerfully walked ahead of them while Samar & Divya looked at each other in defeat.

A while later, the three of them were sitting on the couch watching a horror film. Samar had a giant bag of chips, Yuvaan had two bags of popcorn while Divya had a pint of ice cream.

"These people are so stupid...why do they always run upstairs? The murderer can catch them!" Samar whispered to Divya.

"I know...what are they gonna do, jump off the roof?" Divya replied.

"SHHHHHHHHHH!" Yuvaan sushed them. Meanwhile, Shivaay had woken up to get a glass of water when he realized his jug was empty so he went downstairs to fill it when he saw the three of them. Yuvaan was wrapped in a blanket and had one eye closed.

"What are you three doing?" Shivaay asked from behind them.

"AAH!" The triplets screamed, startled by Shivaay. Yuvaan threw both the popcorn bags up in the air and literally jumped onto Divya's lap, hugging her tightly.

"Divi the murderer is here for us!"

Divya & Samar looked at their brother like he was crazy and Shivaay couldnt help but start laughing.

"Mr...Oberoi, aap ho?" Yuvaan finally turned and saw Shivaay.

"No..its the murderer. He crawled out of the movie just to murder us!" Samar said.

"I told you...I told you you would get too scared but NOOOOO, thats all the fun na?" Divya rolled her eyes. "Get off me you idiot! Do you know how heavy you are?"

Divya pushed Yuvaan off, making him roll onto the floor.

"Is... Hahaha...is this haha...the time to be watching a movie?" Shivaay asked, through his laughs. The three of them looked like guilty children being caught.

"Its his fault!" Samar & Divya immediately pointed to Yuvaan.

"Heeyyy!"

"Well it was! You woke me up and then dragged me to go get Divya!" Samar exclaimed.

"Oh...yeah." Yuvaan grinned sheepishly. "I was actually hungry and I wasnt sleepy so...."

Shivaay smiled and then walked around the couch and sat beside Divya. "This is actually an award winning movie. Mind if I join you?"

"Wha- you want to...watch a scary movie, at midnight?" Divya questioned.

"Yeah...why not?" Shivaay shrugged. "Especially if it means spending time with my kids."

"Awesome! Oh....but I think I need some more popcorn." Yuvaan got up and looked at all the popcorn that was all over on the ground.

"Ill get it." Samar got up and went to the kitchen. Divya got down and started gathering the popcorn and seeing her, Yuvaan also started cleaned.

"Arre, dont worry about all this." Shivaay said. "This can be cleaned later...come sit."

So Divya & Yuvaan sat while Samar came back with the popcorn and they continued watching the movie. Soon the triplets fell asleep, Divya had unconsciously leaned her head on Shivaay's shoulder, Samar was leaning over on her while Yuvaan was sprawled across both of their laps (Dont ask how).
