Chapter 92
After having dinner, everyone went to their rooms. Abhishek was excited for the next day and jumping like a kid who got his favorite candy.
Aditya was pacing in his room with a frown on his face.
He was trying to understand the reason behind Advait's sudden change of decision.
Arush was sitting cross legged on the floor, his notebooks were scattered on the table and he was completing his notes as per Advait's order.
His face was scrunched up in a sulk and he was finding unique ways to murdered Abhishek and Aditya in his mind.
Just before he was about to mix rat poison in their kheer Advait entered the room.
Advait came with a box of his favorite chocolate cupcakes sprinkled with extra choco chips. But Arush didn't talk to him and buried his face in the notebook.
Advait sighed and sat down beside him on the floor, placing the box on the table. Arush's eyes sparkled up when his gaze landed on his favorite dessert. But he quickly composed his expression and again put up a pout.
"What's with that sulking face huh?" Advait asked, his voice was unusually soft.
Arush ignored him and continued writing.
Advait raised his brow, "Kis baat ke liye muh banaya hua hai ye to bata?" He asked.
"Mujhe aapse baat nahi karni." Arush mumbled.
"Kyun nahi karni?" Advait asked amusingly.
Arush looked up with his doe eyes, "Aapne Abhi bhai ke saath workout wali punishment ke liye haan kyun kiya?" He asked in a betrayed tone.
Advait rolled his eyes at his look, "Your actions has consequences." He replied curtly.
"Aap mere saath aise karoge?" He asked, jutting out his lower lip.
"Tu to aise kar raha hai jaise maine tujhe sooli par chadha diya ho." Advait said sarcastically.
Arush whined, "Abhi bhai ke saath workout karne se better to aap sooli par hi chadha dete."
Advait chuckled, "Kyun pareshan ho raha hai mera pyara baccha?" He asked softly pinching his cheeks.
Arush leaned against his shoulder, "Wo gym me bohot khadoos ho jate hain bohot chillate hain aur mujhe to dhamki bhi de rahe the. Bol rahe the tujhe kal gym me bataunga hitler kise kehte hain." He complained about him.
Advait looked down at him firmly, "Usne aisa bola?" He asked.
Arush nodded slowly.
"Tu tension kyun le raha hai mere hote huye koi haath tak laga kar dikhaye mere bacche ko aur Abhi ko to mai banwata hoon hitler." He said wrapping a protective arm around Arush.
Arush melted in his arms and stayed like this for a few minutes before saying, "Bhaiya?"
"Hmm?" Advait asked, gently weaving his hand in hair.
"Ye wali punishment cancel kar do please." He requested, looking up at him from the embrace.
"I can't do that galti ki hai to punishment bhi poori karni padegi, baccha." Advait replied in a firm tone.
Arush's face fell again. He was a lazy sloth bear and hates workout and gym.
Advait noticed his sad features and handed him the box of the cupcakes to cheer up his mood and it did work.
A smile crept on his face and he quickly opened the box before taking out a cupcake.
He offered it to Advait before having it himself and his eyes closed in pleasure when he ate the first bite of it loaded with cream and choco chips just like he loved it.
Advait gently ruffled his hair looking at his cute and happy face.

Advait was in his room when his phone rang up. He looked at the caller's name and headed to the balcony before picking up the call.
"Haan bol?" Advait said, picking up the call.
"Bolega to tu." Reyansh replied, "Suna hai tu Abhi ki shaadi Roohanika se karane ke liye ready ho gaya?" He asked.
Advait sighed, "Tujhe lagta hai aisa?"
"Mujhe pata hai chahe kuch bhi ho jaye tu iss rishte ke liye kabhi nahi maanega." He replied, "Chal kya raha hai tere dimaag me?"
"Honestly mujhe bhi nahi pata." Advait replied, "Kal jaa raha hoon Raichands se milne tabhi decide hoga aage kya karna hai." He said while scratching his forehead with his index finger.
"Mere paas ek plan hai Abhi ko unki asliyat dikhane ka." Reyansh spoke up, "Jab Vikram ya uska baap tujhse baatein kar rahe ho tab tu unki video bana lena wo dono baap bete gandagi ugle bina reh hi nahi sakte." He told his plan.
Advait rolled his eyes with a chuckle, "Maana Vikram aur uska baap dono bohot bade bewkoof hain magar wo Roohanika...wo unki tarah nahi hai bohot shaatir hai wo ladki. Wo log kal koi bhi aisa kaam nahi karenge jisse unka successful hota hua plan kharab ho jaye." Advait replied looking ahead.
"I think you're right agar Abhi se shaadi karna Raichands ka plan hai to wo kabhi aisa kaam nahi karenge jisse unka plan kharab ho." Reyansh said after thinking for a minute.
"Ab kya karega tu?" Reyansh further asked.
"Mai kuch nahi karunga, jo karega wo khud Abhi karega. Kal wo khud uss Roohanika se saare rishte todega." Advait said, his confident tone was confusing Reyansh.
"Advait." A voice came from behind making Advait quickly turned around.
Shreya was standing there, staring at him angrily with a mix of disappointment. Advait hung up the call without any word and pocketed his phone before walking towards her.
"Kisse baat kar rahe the aap?" She asked, her tone was not filled with warmth like usual.
"Rey se." He replied, caressing her cheek.
"Aapne kya bola unse?" She asked in a heavy voice, "Aap to kal Abhi ke rishte ki baat karne jaa rahe hain na to phir ye rishta todne ki baat kahan se aayi?" She asked him, looking into his eyes.
Advait sighed and pulled her close, "Maine aapko kaha hai na Shreya wo ladki humare Abhi ke liye sahi nahi hai. Mai uske liye kaise maan sakta hoon?" He said calmly.
She pulled back, glaring at him, "Matlab ye sab jo aapne kiya wo natak tha? Abhi se aapne jo kaha wo jhooth tha?" She asked incredulously.
He nodded with an exhale.
Shreya's eyes hardened at this, "Aap aisa kar bhi kaise sakte hain Advait? Kitna khush hai Abhi jab aapko rishte ke liye manna hi nahi tha to jhooth bol kar kyun jhoothi ummeed di aapne usey?" Her tone was mixed with anger and concern for Abhishek.
"It was necessary." He replied curtly before moving past beside her.
She followed him, "Aapne Abhi ka chehra bhi dekha tha Advait? Kitna khush hai wo jab se aapne rishte ke liye haan ki hai please uski khushiyon ko mat maariye." She said being emotional and not understanding the logic behind all this.
"Uski khushiyon ke liye hi jaruri hai ye. Meri baat usey samajh me nahi aa rahi hai aur pareshan aa gaya hoon mai iss roz roz ke drame se islie iss matter ko khatam karna jaruri hai aur kal mai bilkul wahi karunga." His tone was frustrated.
Shreya sat down beside him, "Abhi usse bohot pyar karta hai toot jayega wo agar wo ladki usse door huyi to." She said, her voice was just above a whisper.
Advait cupped her cheeks softly, "Ye uske bhale ke liye hi hai. Trust me." He replied in a low voice.
Shreya looked down without reply. She was not feeling right, her heart was beating so loud in panic.
"Mujhe bohot dar lag raha hai, Advait." She said, hugging him.
Advait secured her tightly in his arms, "Aap bohot jyada soch rahi hain." He replied.
She fisted his shirt in her hand, "Mai apne bacche ko toot-te huye nahi dekh sakti aur naa hi uski shaadi kisi galat ladki se hone de sakti. Mujhe samajh nahi aa raha kya galat hai aur kya sahi." She mumbled.
"Agar aap chahti hain Abhi zindagi bhar khush rahe to uske liye uss ladki ka Abhi ki life se door jaana hi behtar hoga." He replied, rubbing her back to provide her comfort.
"I trust you." She muttered, melting in his arms.
He softly pecked her temple before muttering, "I love you."
It was his way of telling her that everything would be fine. She was still a bit distressed but his soothing words worked like a balm to her.
~________________________________________~
It was 5 in the morning. The faint glow of the sunlight was casting over the Malhotra Mansion.
The mansion was quiet, Arush was sleeping peacefully in his room without any care of the world.
His alarm was ringing in the background but it didn't have any effect on the sleeping figure.
He was in his own dreamland when his sleep got broke because of the constant ringing of the alarm.
He lazily stretched out his arm and turned off the alarm before sleeping again.
But suddenly he jolted up sitting straight on his bed when he remembered about a gym session with Abhishek.
He quickly checked the time and his eyes widened because he was late.
Abhishek told him to come at sharp 5 in the morning not even a minute late and here he was fifteen minutes late.
He quickly ran to the gym in his Pjs without even washing his face or fixing his hair.
He entered the gym and Abhishek was only one in the gym. Arush furrowed his brows when he didn't find Advait and Aditya and he got more scared as there was no one to save him from this monster. Abhishek was running on the treadmill. His back was facing towards Arush.
"Good morning, bhai." He muttered slowly.
Abhishek paused and hopped down off the treadmill. He walked to him and stood in front of him folding his arms over his chest. His face was set stern.
"What's the time?" He asked.
Arush glanced over Abhishek's shoulder at the wall clock before saying, "5:20"
"And at what time did I call you here?" He asked sternly.
Arush gulped down.
"Neend nahi khuli, bhai." He replied meekly.
Abhishek glanced over his outfit, "Amazing choice of outfit for a workout session." He said sarcastically.
Arush shifted from one to another in embarrassment after realizing what he was wearing. His gaze was traveling to the entrance of the gym again and again.
"Don't look there. Koi nahi aayega." Abhishek replied noticing his gaze, "Bhaiya and Adi are doing meditation in the garden."
Arush started internally crying after knowing he was left alone with a gym freak monster.
"How many minutes are you late, Arush?" Abhishek asked in a nonsense tone.
"Twenty." He whispered.
"Go and run the twenty laps of the garden before we start with the workout." Abhishek ordered him.
Arush's eyes widened like a goldfish in horror, "Bhai...
"Out." He pointed towards the exit.
"Bhai please twenty bohot jyada hai...
"Go before I make it thirty." He said nonchalantly.
Arush went away from there like a defeated solider and stepped out in the garden. Advait and Aditya were present there. Their eyes were closed and postures were stiff yet gentle. Their faces were glowing in the sunlight.
Arush thought of running to Advait asking for a help but Abhishek came up from behind.
"Invitation doon?" He asked.
Arush quickly shook his head and started running.
The garden was a huge area and running twenty laps of it was not a joke.
Arush easily managed to do five laps because he had the habit of running around everywhere in the house.
But after five his energy got drained, he started panting heavily but Abhishek didn't let him stop so he kept running and somehow he managed to do seven more but after that he slumped down on the ground.
His T-shirt was soaked in sweat and chest were heaving up and down to catch the breath.
Abhishek offered him water looking at his condition.
"Drink it and continue running." He ordered.
"Bhai please... ab nahi." He panted.
Abhishek raised his brow, "Itni jaldi thak gaya?"
Arush wiped the sweat off his forehead before gulping down the water.
"Get up." Abhishek said making Arush pout but one firm look and Arush started completing his laps.
He completed twenty laps of the garden making Abhishek smiled proudly. They both again made their ways to the gym. Arush limped on his way, ascending the stairs after running laps was an another task for him.
In gym, Abhishek allowed him to take ten minutes break and Arush sat down on the pressing bench in a relief to get a short nap.
"Sone ko nahi kaha hai maine." Abhishek snapped, noticing his closed eyes.
Arush jolted up, "So-So nahi raha, bhai." He said sleepily.
After ten minutes, Abhishek told him to do twenty squats but Arush could only do ten and started whining.
"Ten more." Abhishek said.
"Bohot thak gaya bhai per dukh rahe hain." He replied.
"No pain no gain. Continue." Abhishek replied, ignoring his pleads.
"Bhaiya se complain karunga." Arush mumbled and again started doing the squats.
Abhishek rolled his eyes at his antics.
"Go to that corner and do wall sit." Abhishek said, pointing to a corner.
Arush stubbornly sat down on the floor, "Ab nahi karunga mai kuch bohot exercise ho gayi thak gaya hoon mai ab." He sulked like a child.
Abhishek glared at him, "Stop sulking like a kid." He said firmly.
"Bhai please na bohot ho gaya aaj ke liye." He requested.
Abhishek exhaled sharply and went to a corner of the gym and came back with a cane in his hand making Arush gulped.
"Ye-Ye kya hai?" Arush asked in fear while getting up on his feets.
"Ab bata exercise karega ya nahi?" Abhishek asked sternly.
Arush's eyes glued to the cane, "Aap mujhe maar nahi sakte mai bhaiya ko bol dunga." He tried to threatened him but his own voice was sounding like a scared kitten.
"Bata dena bhaiya jyada se jyada kya karenge mujhe maarenge na mai maar kha lunga par agar tune abhi exercise karna start nahi kiya na to ye cane tere upar hi tod dunga." Abhishek threatened him but Arush's reaction made him scared.
Arush's eyes teared up instantly at the threat and the tears were ready to slip down at anytime. No one has ever touched him and Abhishek's threat of getting beaten by a cane made him scared.
"Oye mai bas tujhe darane ke liye keh raha tha tu rone kyun laga?" Abhishek said. He was feeling bad for scaring his younger brother like this.
Arush sniffled, rubbing his eyes with the back of his hand, "Bhaiyaaa!" He cried loudly.
Abhishek quickly covered his mouth with his palm, "Chup ho jaa. Kya kar raha hai gadhe?" He yelled in a whisper.
Arush sobbed, "Bhaiya ko bataunga mai." His voice was muffled but Abhishek understood him.
Abhishek's face turned pale. If Advait got to know that he made his favorite kid cry then he would be a dead meat. Abhishek quickly removed his hand from over his mouth.
"Aru tere mere beech ki baat haina bhaiya ko kyun involve karna. Hum dono aapas me handle kar lenge na." He tried to coaxed him.
Arush looked away making Abhishek narrow his eyes at him but he quickly composed his expression and made Arush turned towards him.
"Accha chal hum workout complete karte hai phir uske baad aaj mai tujhe gaming zone le kar chalunga." He offered.
"I'm not a kid anymore." Arush replied ina low voice still with a pout.
Abhishek rolled his eyes, "Really?" He mocked making Arush glared at him.
"Accha accha theek hai tu bata tujhe kya chahiye?" He asked him.
"Aapka card." Arush replied quickly, "Mai khud le lunga jo lena hoga." He added.
Abhishek gritted his teeth but got agreed. It was far better than receiving an ear bleeding lecture from Advait.
"Fine. Can we please start the workout now, sir?" He asked sarcastically.
Arush bobbed his head.
"Wall sit." He pointed to the wall.
Arush quietly went to the corner and squatted down, supporting his back against the wall. Only after a few seconds his legs started paining. But he kept quietly holding the position.
"Bhai aur kitni der?" Arush asked growling.
"Three minutes more." Abhishek said while doing pushups.
Arush let out a whine but remained still.
After one more minute his legs started wobbling and the pain shot through his calves making him gritted his teeth.
"I can't hold it anymore." Arush growled.
"You can. Focus on your breathing." Abhishek said, looking at him.
Arush started taking deep breaths while cursing himself in his mind for bunking and getting caught.
Three minutes passed and Arush slid down on the floor with a thud. Abhishek squatted down beside him and ruffled his hair in appreciation. He gently rubbed his legs to soothe the pain. He loved teasing him but after all he was his little monkey brother so how could he see him in pain.
"Now plank." Abhishek said after standing up.
Arush rolled over on the floor, "Bacche ki jaan loge kya?" He asked being irritated and tired.
"Don't worry. You'll survive." Abhishek said in a trainer tone.
Arush groaned but assumed the position. He put down all his weight on his elbows.
His body was just a few inches above from the ground.
His breathing was heavy and muscles were screaming in protest but the timer still didn't stop.
Abhishek has put up the timer for him and he has to hold till it turned off.
After one and a half minute his hands started trembling visibly and he couldn't hold it anymore.
He broke the position with a lazy thud and rolled on his back taking deep breaths.
"Bhai, ab bas karo please. I'm begging you." He said, dramatically joining his hands.
Abhishek shook his head at him and continued making him do pushups, burpees and a few stretches.
Arush was whining and sulking during the whole session but completed every task proving his efficiency.
Abhishek behaved all strictly and stern with him in the gym but after the exhausting session he gave Arush's legs a soothing massage just like Advait used to do with him when he was a child.
~________________________________________~
A sleek black SUV stopped in front of a building followed by four more SUV's.
The guards stepped down off the car and stood attentively.
The backseat door of a car opened and a tall frame stepped out of the car adjusting his cufflinks.
Advait looked in front at the building narrowing his eyes with an unknowing smirk on his face.
He was dressed in his black suit looking effortlessly commanding and sexy in a way one could not define.
He walked straight in the building followed by his men. Some of them were holding sweets and gift boxes in their hands. After all he was there for his brother's marriage proposal so how could he go empty handed. They took the lift and reached to the 11th floor.
He stopped in front of the Raichand's apartment and pocketed his hands after ringing the door bell. His casual aura was screaming authority and demanding obedience from everyone around him.
Mrs. Raichand opened the door with a warm smile on her face. Advait smiled back noticing her polite features. His sharp eyes could recognize a person just by their body language.
"Namaste." Advait said, joining his hands in a polite gesture.
"Namaste. Please andar aaiye." Mrs. Raichand said, giving him the space to enter inside.
Advait entered the house with a calm authority and his men followed him behind. They placed the gifts and the sweet boxes on the table.
"Arey in sab ki kya jarurat thi?" She said politely.
"Jarurat kaise nahi thi ab rishta judne jaa raha hai aap logo se humara khali haath to nahi aa sakte." Advait said in humor.
Just when Vikram and Roohanika showed up in the living room. Their faces were set in the fake smiles.
Advait surprisingly stretched out his arm in front of Vikram to shake hands with him. Vikram glanced at him and then at his hand before shaking his hand with him.
"Welcome." Vikram mumbled slightly in fear looking at Advait's unusual demeanor.
Advait glanced at Roohanika before sitting down on the sofa like he owned the place. An ankle of his one leg was resting over his another knee and his back was leaning against the sofa. He was sitting like a king in their house and they were standing like guests.
"Why are you guys standing? Baitho baitho apna hi ghar samjho." He said looking at Vikram and Roohanika.
Vikram glared but Roohanika shook her head at him. They both settled down on the adjacent sofa. Mrs. Raichand came with the refreshments and settled down the trays on the table before taking her seat.
Advait looked around the house before asking, "Tumhara baap kahin nahi dikh raha?" He asked to Vikram.
Roohanika clenched her jaw making Advait raised his brow at her fiercy gaze, "What?" He asked nonchalantly.
"He is in his room, attending a meeting." She replied sharply.
"Uh-oh abhi bhi business chal raha hai huh? Great." He said making an appreciating face in a mock attitude.
"Wahi same drug dealing ka business chal raha hai ya phir kuch naya start kiya hai like chori karna, kidnapping karna ya phir shareef ladkon ko pyar ke jaal me fasana?" He asked in a serious but curious voice.
Vikram stood up, fisting his hands, "Apni hadd me raho, Malhotra." He hissed.
Advait's lips twitched up slightly.
Roohanika grabbed Vikram's hand and pulled him down. She squeezed his hand in a silent warning.
"Aap jis kaam ke liye aaye hain uss baare me baat karenge to jyada accha rahega." Roohanika said, controlling her anger.
"Bacchon se baat nahi karta mai. Go call your father." He told her.
Roohanika again gulped down a biting reply. Her mother stood up from her place before mumbling, "Mai bula kar laati hoon." She left the room.
The silent was heavy and loud in the living room. Advait was noticing both of them and they both were tried to avoid the eye contact to hide the hatred in their eyes.
"Itna sannatta kyun hai bhai? Waise to tumhare paas bohot saara zeher hota hai ugalne ke liye aaj itni shaanti kaise?" Advait asked amusingly to Vikram.
"Tum yahan humari beizzati karne aaye ho?" Vikram asked, gritting his teeth.
Advait widened his eyes dramatically, "Beizzati? Ye tum kya bol rahe ho rishta judne wala hai humari families ka mai tumhari beizzati kaise kar sakta hoon?" He said making Vikram furrowed his brows.
Roohanika could clearly see through his act but she couldn't say anything at this place.
Randheer entered the living room. His face was scrunched up in a disgust looking at Advait in their house. But he couldn't do anything when it was the part of their own plan. A vile smile was spread over his face and his grey beard was doing nothing to hid it.
Advait stood up, extending his hand towards him, "Hello, Mr. Raichand." He trailed off.
But Randheer didn't shake his hand. The picture of Advait crushing his hand under his shoe came flashing back in his mind.
Randheer boiled in anger from inside. He jerked away his hand making the guards stand attentively.
Advait made a mock offended face at the rejection.
Vikram and Roohanika stood up on their places.
"Mujhse haath milane ki teri aukaat nahi hai, Malhotra." Randheer seethed.
Vikram and Roohanika exchanged a horrified look. Roohanika walked to Randheer and hissed in his ear, "Dad." She said with a warning edge.
"Purani baatein bhool jaiye, Mr. Raichand. We can start new." Advait said sounding serious.
Randheer grabbed him by his collar and to Roohanika's surprise not even a guard moved from his place.
"Bhool jaun? Itne saalon se tadap raha tha mai iss ek din ke liye jab tu khud mere paas chal kar aayega aur maafi maangega." He spat on his face but Advait didn't react. He listened to his each word.
"Jo hua usey bhool jate hain, Mr. Raichand. Mera bhai aapki beti se bohot pyar karta hai aur shayad wo bhi karti hai bhalai isi me hogi ki hum apni purani dushmani bhool kar in logo ki khushi ke liye ek nayi shuruaat karein." He said sincerely.
Roohanika furrowed his brows at his sudden change in behavior. His previous demeanor had completely changed into something else.
But she didn't have the time to think about his strategy. She had to successful her own plan. She pulled back her father and whispered in his ears, "What the hell are you doing, dad? Why are you ruining our plan?" She said in anger.
"Humara plan poora hone se ab koi nahi rok sakta par usse pehle mujhe iss Malhotra se apna purana hisaab poora karna hai." He whispered back and jerked her away.
Randheer stepped forward, pocketing his hands, "Tu chahta hai na ki mai apni beti ki shaadi tere bhai Abhishek se hone doon?" He asked.
Advait nodded.
"To uske liye pehle tujhe mujhse maafi maangni hogi." He said bitterly.
Vikram smirked at his dad.
Advait was more than ready. He quickly joined his hands and was about to ask for forgiveness when Randheer stopped him.
"Tsk tsk aise nahi Malhotra apne ghutno par baith kar maafi maango." He said.
Roohanika's eyes widened and she tried to stop her father, "Dad please stop. You'll ruin everything." She whispered but he was full of his pride.
But the next thing Advait did get Roohanika by surprise.
He kneeled down on the floor in front of Randheer and joined his hands.
There was not any quite particular expression on his face.
He was not looking angry or ashamed infact he was looking more than willing to ask for their forgiveness which was not settling right with Roohanika.
Her father and brother could be idiots but she was not a fool to not understand this simple thing.
Advait Malhotra was really up to something that would not end up in her's favor.
"Mai apni purani galtiyon ke liye maafi maangta hoon. Maine aapke aur aapke parivaar ke saath jo kuch bhi kiya tha please usey bhool jaiye aur mere bhai ki shaadi apni beti se karane ke liye haan kar dijiye." Advait said like he was reading out a script.
Randheer's smirk widened and he laughed loudly looking at the Advait Malhotra at his mercy.
"Aaj ka din meri zindagi ka sabse badi khushi ka din hoga. Advait Malhotra mere saamne apne ghutno par baith kar mujhse apne bhai ki shaadi meri beti se karane ki bheekh maang raha hai. Waah kya nazara hai." Randheer sneered while laughing in his ego.
Vikram spoke up, " Wow dad aapne to wo kar ke dikhaya jo aaj tak acche acche nahi kar sake." He joined him and started laughing.
Advait stood up on his feet casually dusting off his pants and looked at Randheer, "Aapne mujhe maaf to kar diya na?" He asked innocently.
Randheer laughed again while nodding, "Haan haan kar diya. Mai taiyar hoon Roohanika ki shaadi tumhare bhai se karaane ke liye." He said.
"Thank you so much." Advait said in a mock gratitude tone.
Randheer laughed again. He was drowned in his ego to notice anything.
Advait turned towards Vikram and then at Roohanika, "To phir mai chalun?" He asked.
"Arey aise kaise pehli baar humare ghar aaye ho humein khatirdaari karne ka moka to do." Randheer said while sitting down on the sofa.
"Nahi nahi ab kabhi aap mujhe aapki khatirdaari karne ka moka dijiye." He said sweetly but there was an edge to his voice.
Randheer laughed and nodded, "Jarur jarur." He said.
Advait turned on his heels and left from there. The guards followed him outside after daggering holes in the Raichands through their steel gazes.
Randheer laughed loudly as soon as they left, "Dekha humari khatirdaari karne ka invitation de kar gaya hai." He said with a mocking laugh.
"Wo aapko aapke muh par dhamki de karchala gaya aur aapko pata bhi nahi chala." Roohanika said sharply looking at him, dragging him out of his egoistic self.
She sat down on the sofa clutching her head between hands, "Sab barbaad kar diya aapne, dad." She said angrily.
"Barbaad kar diya? Arey apni beizzati ka badla liya hai maine uss Malhotra se maafi mangwayi hai maine usse." He said being proud of himself.
Roohanika snapped her head towards him, "Wo Malhotra aapki tarah bewakoof nahi hai, dad.
Har kaam soch samajhkar karta hai aur itni aasani se jo usne maafi maangi hai na iske peeche bhi jarur koi reason hoga.
Agar aapki wajah se mera Abhi se shaadi karne ka sapna toota na to mai bhi aapka Malhotras ko barbaad karne ka sapna kabhi poora nahi hone dungi.
" She warned him and stomped away from there.
Meanwhile, Advait came out of the building and leaned against the bonnet of his SUV.
A guard showed him the video he had recorded of Advait when he was asking for forgiveness to Randheer.
Advait watched the video and his lips curved up in a smile.
He handed back the phone to the guard with a knowing smile.
"Good job." He said with a half smile.
The guard smiled at the appreciation, "Boss, Abhishek sir ko send kar doon?" He asked carefully.
Advait thought for a moment before shaking his head, "No." He replied, "Send it to Adi." He said, his gaze was fixed on something at distance.
