Author’s POV
"I would like to pay for it. I think you love your sister a lot” he asked her with something mysterious in his eyes.
She felt something odd in his voice but she couldn’t decipher so she shrugged it off.
"Yes… she was our princess. We loved her a lot" she said to him with so much love in her eyes.
Remembering Aashi, she smiled widely.
"She is very lucky that she has a loving sister like you. I think that you should give her this gift on my behalf" the man said to Mahi with an unknown expression.
After a lot of insisting she agreed and accepted his gift. His phone started to ringing so he excused her and went to attend to that call.
He came in a while and said “I have some urgent work so I have to go. I will drop you to your car.”
Mahi came to Aashi's room who was lying on sofa and playing with her phone while making cute faces but when she saw mahi in her room she sat on sofa throwing her phone on the couch and beamed in chirpy voice “Diiiiiiiiiiiii (elder sister)”
Mahi came and sat beside her. She hugged her tightly and said with excitement “I have a surprise for you.”
Aashi got excited hearing this and asked her "Quickly tell me"
Mahi gave her the same bracelet box which she selected for her "Open it and tell me.. did you like it?"
Aashi opened it and got happy to see that bracelet and took Mahi in bone crashing hug "you are the Best".
Ajay came in her rooms when heard over exciting and happy voice of his little sisters.
"She is best and what about me???????” he said showing fake hurt face from behind making Aashi leapt into his arms “both of you are the best and papa is super best.”
They chuckled at her before sharing a group hug. Like these few days passed.
Vishant was sleeping on his bed. He was murmuring something in his sleep. He was having a nightmare. His body was covering with sweat and continuously turning his head left and right to stop that nightmare.
“Don’t hurt them please…..” he was mumbling, crying profusely in sleep.
Suddenly he jolted up from his nightmare and started panic.
He ran his hands over his face. he put his one hand on his chest rubbing in soothing manner when he realised it was a nightmare.
He opened side table’s drawer taking out a bottle. He took a pill from that bottle and gulped down with water.
He stood up and came to the balcony of his room and hissed in anger slamming his palms on the railing "I will not leave those who are responsible for our condition today. if I didn't make those people's lives worse than hell. I'm not me."
He slumped down on the sofa there. Medicine started its effect in his body and he slept on sofa. When the first light of the sun fell on his face, he woke up and saw that he slept there at night.
He went back to the room and freshened up and came to the gym's room. Karan was already there and doing his exercise.
"Have you seen the same nightmare again???" Karan asked him when he saw his gloomy face.
There was a look of disappointment on Vishant's face "It's become my life, but I'll quickly pass on this pain to the people because of whom I'm in pain myself today. "
Karan hugged his brother who badly needed this hug which he reciprocated throwing his arms around him.
"Tell me when we will start the next part of our plan and don't take tension, everything will be fine soon" Karan asked him in serious tone parting himself from him. He couldn’t see his brother in pain.
Vishant wore boxing gloves and started punching to punching bag like he was taking out his anger on it.
"You fix a meeting with Agarwal today itself and tell him about my conditions. I know they won't be able to refuse” he spatted in between punching session.
"Ok…. I will arrange a meeting right now and update you” Karan said staring at his brother with worry in his eyes.
They ended the exercise while talking about their business.
Aashi was getting ready for college in her room when she remembered the bracelet given by Mahi and wore it and came to the dining room after getting ready.
Everyone was there. she went to Rajat and hugged him and wished him a good morning showing her bracelet to Rajat like kid who showed their favourite toy to their father.
"Di brought for me, it's beautiful just like me” she said praising herself. She put her other hand on her face gazing at her father to say something.
He kissed on her forehead and said in proud way "No…. our princess is more beautiful".
She hugged her father beaming in joy.
She hugged mahi and Ajay and wished them ‘Good Morning.’
She came and sat beside Mahi and started having her breakfast. It was then that Rajat asked Ajay "there is any news from Khurana's side".
"Today's meeting is with Mr. Karan. He is coming to tell the decision of the Khuranas and he wants everyone to be present in this meeting" Ajay said while filling his glass with orange juice
“Why are all the board members called?” Rajat asked him sceptically.
“Papa he is coming for the Meeting. we will know why he has called all the board members” Mahi spoke making him nod his head but his mind was still running in that direction.
Aashi didn’t understand their business talk so she quietly had her breakfast and left for college.
Elite college
Driver dropped her at college entrance. she went inside the college and found Kavya and Sakshi in the canteen. She went to them and hugged them from behind and asked them in her energetic voice "How are you guys???"
They were her friends from school time and the three were very good friends. Sakshi was of a very calm nature while Kavya was absolutely opposite to her.
They broke the hug with a smile.
Sakshi chuckled at Aashi who was showing them her teeth.
"I really missed you a lot during these few days of vacation” Sakshi whined making Aashi nodded with a grin.
"Don’t start your melodrama here" Kavya laughed at their silly antics but pull them in the hug next second “by the way, I also missed you guys a lot".
Other two member of their gang joined them.
Nikhil was the son of Aashi's family friend and her first best friend and like brother to her but they met Kabir in college but he became a part of their group soon.
"I am also in line. someone hugs me too" Nikhil whined in flirting way wiggling his eyebrows at them while Kabir made a fake crying face “don’t worry buddy. I'm here for you. Come on… I'll hug you. "
“No” Nikhil shouted with horrifying face making all the girls laughed at them while Kabir just smirked at him.
“Did you enjoy your vacation?? To be honest I couldn't enjoy without you" Nikhil muttered to Aashi as they settled around their usual table.
"Just let it be, you haven't found anyone else that’s why you trying your cheesy lines on me" she slapped on his shoulder with fake anger to earn a sheepish smile from him.
She knew that he was just flirting with her like he did with every girl in the college.
Nikhil made a sad face and said in dramatic voice "oppps.., you broke my heart babe".
They laughed at their silly banter. They spent some time before moving to their classes.
The whole day of the college passed. in the evening Aashi went to Gayatri orphanage to meet the children.
