Shivansh and Ruhanika return from their date to see that the whole family has gathered in the living. One unknown face was present for Ruhanika.
"Dekho toh kaun aaya hai? Mere jijaji k pyaar ki nishani. Ya kahu ki najayaas aulad." The elderly lady in her late 50's spoke. She was none other than Mrs. Rajvansh's sister.
Ruhanika tightly clutched Shivansh's hand.
"Kaise ho sautele bhatije. Suna hai tumhari shaadi ho gayi hai? Apni maa ki tarah kisi aur k saathi se toh shaadi nahi ki na. Aur tum bhi, zara apne pati par dhyaan dena. Pata chala kuch mahino baad kisi aur ki aulad tumhare god mein rakh de apni baap ki tarah." She spoke the last words to Ruhanika.
Many times when someone taunted both of them regarding Shivansh's birth, both of them kept quiet. But this time, the words were directed towards Shivansh's love and loyalty for Ruhanika which was not done with Ruhanika.
Ruhanika tightly held Shivansh's hand and replied,"Aunty please. Aap Shiv k aur mere rishte ke baare mein yeh sab nahi keh sakti. Shiv k upar mujhe pura bharosa hai. Woh kabhi mujhe dhoka nahi de sakte. Isiliye aap phir kabhi yeh baat na apne mann mein laiyega aur na hi bolyega. Aur Papa aur Ammi k baare mein aisi baat karne ka aapko koi haq nahi."
Shivansh felt his heart flutter the way Ruhanika defended him as well as his parents.
Mrs. Rajvansh,"Tum apna muh mat chalao ladki. Tamiz se baat karo. Aur meri behen ne kuch galat nahi kaha hai. Is ladke ki maa ne meri shadishuda zindagi bigadi hai. Mere pati ne iski maa k jaane k baad ise mere sar par laa kar rakh diya. Sab kuch iske naam kar diya. Pehle iski maa ne mere pati ko cheena aur isne mere bete k haq ko cheena hai."
Shivansh,"Bas kijiye Mrs. Rajvansh. Mere Papa aur Ammi k khilaf ek shabd aur nahi. Aapse shaadi hui uske pehle se Papa Ammi ko jante the. Aur aapse shaadi hui uske baad Papa Ammi se nahi mile. Papa ko toh mere hone k baare mein jab main 5 saal ka tha tab pata chala tha. Ammi kabhi aapki shaadi k beech nahi aana chahti thi. Dadu Papa ki shaadi Ammi se nahi karvana chahte the aur Papa ki shaadi aapse karvai thi. Papa meri Ammi se pyaar karte the. Aur rahi baat property ki toh uska main kuch nahi kar sakta, lekin main koshish kar raha hu ki Raj ko transfer kardu. Aur mere aur meri Ruhh k rishte mein aag lagane ki sochna bhi mat."
Ruhanika,"Aap janti hai ki jab bhi aap Papa aur Ammi ko bura kehti hai toh Shiv ko dukh hota hai. Aap Shiv k wajood ko baar baar khuredna band kar dijiye please."
Mrs. Rajvansh,"Tum chup raho. Tumse toh mujhe sakht nafrat hai. Us din bach tumhara yeh pati aa gaya tha warna tumhara us din sidhiyon se gir kar bachna namumkin tha."
As soon as she said those words, a round of gasps were heard. Shivansh's grip tightened around Ruhanika, who buried her head in his chest.
Rajveer,"Maa, aap yeh kya keh rahi hai?"
Shivansh,"Mrs. Rajvansh, kya meri Ruhh ko nuksan pphochane mein aapka haath tha? Phir toh jab uska haath jala tha woh bhi aap hi ka kiya hoga? Aap aisa kaise kar sakti hai? Aapko nafrat mujhse hai, phir meri Ruhh ko pareshan karne ka kya matlab?"
With that, he turned to Ruhanika and asked,"Ruhh?" Ruhanika did not say anything just nodded her head.
Mrs. Rajvansh,"Tum dono se mujhe sakht nafrat hai. Maine jo kiya uska mujhe kpi afsoos nahi." With that she stormed out of there.
Surekha and guests went towards their rooms.
Chachaji came near Ruhanika and Shivansh. He gently kept his hand on Ruhanika's head who still had her head buried in Shivansh's chest. After that, he left from there and youngsters surrounded them.
Rajveer,"Bhai, Sorry. Maa ki taraf se main aapse maafi mangta hu. Bhabhi, I am very sorry." He joined his hands while saying.
Ruhanika,"Bhaiya, aapki koi galati nahi hai. Aapne kaha tha na ki aap mere bhaiya hai, toh bhaiya aise maafi mante hue achhe nahi lagte."
Shivansh,"Ruhh thik keh rahi hai Raj. Teri galati nahi hai."
Rajveer nodded.
Parinidhi,"Lekin Bhabhi aapne kisiko bataya kyun nahi?"
Ruhanika did not say anything. Shivansh turned to Ruhanika and spoke,"Haa Ruhh, bataya kyun nahi? Maine pucha tha na kaise lagi?"
Ruhanika timidly spoke,"Woh iitna bhi nahi tha toh maine socha....."
Shivansh,"Ruhhhh!!! Wada karo aaj k baad kuch nahi chupaogi."
Ruhanika,"Main wada karti hu Shiv, aaj k baad kuch nahi chupaungi."
After a couple of minutes, Rajveer broke the silence.
Rajveer,"Bhaiya kya aap sa jaante hai? Papa aur Maa ki shaadi aur aapke..um..baare mein?"
Shivansh,"Haa, Ammi aur Papa ne sab kuch bataya hai mujhe."
With that, Shivansh starts narrating the life of his father.
"Papa aur Ammi college mein saath mein padhte the. Dono friendly aur extrovert the aur dono ki dosti bhi jaldi ho gai thi. Uske baad dono ko pyaar ho gaya tha. College khatam hone k baad dono ne ghar par baat ki. Ammi k gharwalo ne mana kar diya tha ki love marriage nahi karni hai.
Papa ne Dadu se baat ki lekin religion alag hone ki wajah se Dadu ne bhi mana kar diya. Dono ka milna bhi band ho gaya tha kyunki Ammi ko ghar se nikalna mana tha. Dadu ne Papa ki shaadi tumhari Maa se fix kardi thi. Ghar mein us time bohot jhagde hue the lekin Dadu nahi mane aur zabardasti shaadi karva di.
Papa ki shaadi ho gayi thi, lekin baat bohot aage badh chuki thi. Ammi pregnant thi. Ammi k gharwalo ne Ammi ko ghar se nikal diya tha. Ammi ne phir apni life naye sire se shuru ki thi. Ammi janti thi ki Papa ki shaadi ho chuki hai isiliye unhone Papa ko kuch nahi bataya.
Jab main 5 saal ka tha tab Papa ko mere baare mein pata chala tha. Ammi jis office mein kaam karti thi us office mein Papa meeting k liye aaye the tab unki mulakat hui thi, aur Papa ko mere baare mein pata chala tha. Uske baad Papa time to time mujhse milne aate the.
Papa ne ghar par bataya tha lekin mujhe kabhi yaha leke nahi aaye the. Lekin jab main 8 saal ka tha, tab ghar mein aag lag gayi thi. Main bahar khel raha tha, lekin Ammi ghar k andar thi. Main nahi bacha saka apni Ammi ko."
Tears had started streaming down Shivansh's face. Everyone else also had tears in their eyes. Ruhanika gently rubbed Shivansh's back with her one hand while other was in between Shivansh's hands, clasped tightly.
Shivansh continued further,"Ammi k jaane k baad Papa mujhe yaha le aaye. Dadu-Dadi ne mujhe turant accept kar liya tha. Unka kehna tha ki bhale hi woh Ammi aur Papa ki shaadi k khilaf the lekin usmein mera koi dosh nahi tha. Phir kuch saal baad Papa ko cancer hua tha. Tab Papa ne yeh will banayi thi. Dadu kehte hai ki meri security k liye Papa ne aisa kiya tha. Uske baad Papa bhi mujhe chhod k chale gaye."
As soon as Shivansh finished, Rajveer came forward and took him in a hug.
That day both the brothers cried in each others arms. Ruhanika and Parinidhi stood there as a silent support. They knew the brothers were there for each other.
After a couple of minutes, they seperated. Shivansh wiped Rajveer's face clean.
Shivansh,"Chalo ab raat bohot ho gayi hai. So jao sab."
Just as Shivansh said these words, he was engulfed in a hug by Aarav and Aarohi. The two of them could not exactly feel the pain of losing parents but they knew what their eldest brother had to go through. After detaching from him, they hugged Rajveer. And then all of them retired to their rooms.
In the room.
Both Shivansh and Ruhanika did not utter a single word after entering the room. Both of them freshened up.
Ruhanika layed on the bed and opened her arms towards Shivansh and spoke,"Shiv!!!" She made grabby hands.
Shivansh,"Ruhh! Tum so jao, mujhe office ka kuch kaam hai."
Ruhanika,"Nahi hai aapko kaam. Aaiye. Chaliye. Haath dukhne lage hai mere."
Shivansh, not arguing further hugged Ruhanika like a baby, keeping his face in her neck. Both of them slept peacefully in each others arms.
In Rajveer and Parinidhi's room.
Rajveer,"Idhi, aaj Maa ne jo kiya woh thik nahi tha. Bhai ki koi galati nahi hai in sab mein. Papa bhai ki Ammi se pyaar karte the usmein bhai ki kya galati. Aur property jo Papa ne Bhai k naam ki hai, woh Bhai ne thodi kaha tha Papa se."
Parinidhi,"Main jaanti hu Veer. Bhaiya ki koi galati nahi hai. Par hum Maa ko bhi nahi samjha sakte. Manti hu ki woh galat hai par tum bhi socho, unke husband ka beta kisi aur k saath. Hum Maa ko nahi samjha sakte par hum Bhai ko toh special pyaar de sakte hai na."
Rajveer nodded at her words and hugged her, close to his heart.
Rajveer,"I love you Idhi. Tum nahi hoti toh mera kya hota."
Parinidhi,"Main nahi hoti toh matlab? Tum kisi aur se chakkar chalate. Mr. Rajveer Rajvansh, taange tod dungi kisi aur k baare mein socha bhi toh."
Rajveer chuckled at her words and kissed her. Soon the kiss turned into something more and....
Next morning.
Shivansh was ready for office. He was in the living room leaving for office, when his phone rang. It was his PA Yug.
Yug,"Sir, jaldi se news check kijiye."
Shivansh cut the call and turned on the TV.
"Aaj subah ki sabse badi khabar, 'The Rajvansh Corporation' India ki top 5 company mein aane wali is company k CEO, Mr. Shivansh Rajvansh, apne Father ki najayas aulad hai. Ji haa, woh illegitimate child hai."
Ruhanika,"Shiv, yeh news mein kaise?"
Rajveer,"Bhai, yeh news mein kaise aaya?"
Mrs. Rajvansh's sister,"Jab ab ghar mein sabko pata hi hai toh duniya se kyun chupana? Duniya ko bhi pata chale ki yeh ladka kis paap ki nishani hai."
Mrs. Rajvansh,"Tumhara dimaag kharab hai? Kisse puch k tumne yeh kiya? Humare ghar ki izzat, mere pati ki izzat uchalne ka tumhe koi haq nahi tha."
Mrs. Rajvansh's sister,"Didi par main toh..."
Mrs. Rajvansh,"Chup, ek shabd aur nahi. Kisne haq diya hai tumhe ki tum mere ghar ki baat bahar failao? Tumhe yaha rehne ki ab koi zaroorat nahi hai. Jao tum yaha se. Mere ghar ki izzat uchal k mere ghar mein rehne ka bhi tumhe koi haq nahi."
Mrs. Rajvansh's sister,"Apni is bezzati ka badla main leke rahungi Rajlakshmi. Tumhe aur tumhare bete ko chhodungi nahi main."
Rajveer,"Masi please. Aapko yeh baat media mein leak nahi karni chahiye thi, yeh aapko bhi pata hai."
Mrs. Rajvansh's sister,"Maine yeh tumhare aur tumhari Maa k liye kiya tha. Lekin tumhari Maa toh ehsaan faramosh hai."
Rajveer,"Nahi chahiye aapka ehsaan Masi, aap jaiye yaha se please."
Furious, Mrs. Rajvansh's sister and her kids packed their bags and left.
While Shivansh's phone rang, it was yet again Yug.
Shivansh,"Yes Yug?"
Yug,"Sir, woh board of directors ne meeting bulayi hai 11 baje."
Shivansh,"Okay. Main aajaunga."
Chachu, Rajveer and Aarav recieved same calls.
After call,
Aarav,"Papa, Bhai, yeh achanak meeting?"
Chachu,"Media mein yeh news leak hui hai isiliye. Shares bhi niche aa gaye hai company k."
Rajveer,"Pata nahi meeting mein kya hoga?"
Shivansh,"Woh toh jaa k hi pata chalega. Lets go." With that, he turned to Ruhanika, cupped her face and spoke,"Ruhh, main chalta hun. Apna dhyaan rakhna." And kissed her forehead.
Ruhanika,"Aap bhi chinta mat kariyega. Sab thik hoga. Main Mahadev se prarthna karungi, woh sab thik kar denge." With that, she stood on her toes and kissed Shivansh's forehead.
2 hours later, In the conference room of Rajvansh corporation.
All the board of directors were sitting on the table.
Man1,"Mr. Shivansh Rajvansh, board of directors ne aapko CEO ki post se nikalne ka decision liya hai. Aapke najayas hone ki news aane se company ko bohot nuksaan hua hai. Shares drastically gir gaye hai. Company yeh afford nahi kar sakti isiliye aapko apni CEO ki post chhodni hogi."
