"Arnav ji...Arnav ji..." Khushi cried as she entered her room and found Arnav busy in his laptop.
She shut his laptop and cried, "Arnav ji, go and handle things downstairs. The decorators are doing some blunders!"
Arnav sighed and stood up, "Can't you see me working? Tell Advay, he'll do it!"
"It's his birthday!!!! We are having party for HIS birthday and you want HIM TO DO THE ARRANGEMENTS?" She shouted.
"Why are you shouting for that?" He asked closing his ears.
"ARNAV JI!!!!!!!!" She shouted.
"Acha baba...I'm going!" He said and walked away.
"Where are they?" Khushi asked tensed seeing the time. It's been four hours since Advay and Hanna went out and there was no sign of them. The guests were waiting for the birthday boy.
"Khushi don't worry! He'll come!" Arnav pacified her although he was tensed.
"What happened to Advay and Hanna?" Kiara asked tensed.
Arnav sighed and said, "We waited for hours and then set off to search for them. We dismissed the party and soon contacted police. Police tracked down Advay's cell and soon found the location."
"It was at outskirts of Delhi. In a dark godown was my son lying...in blood..." Khushi said chocking recalling that day.
"What?" Kiara whispered.
"Advay was beaten up to hell. We took him to hospital. There was no sign of Hanna. Police searched for her and tried to track her phone but no use. Hanna was missing!" Arnav said.
"Advay regained consciousness but he never asked about Hanna. We told him she is missing and police are enquiring but he never said anything. He was just a living corpse!" Khushi said in tears.
Kiara nodded and said, "What next?"
Angelina sighed and said, "From that day Advay started behaving weird. He no longer speaks and laughs. He just walks around like a dead soul. He never talked a word! We thought it's due to Hanna's missing, but..."
"Advay..." Khushi called softly as she entered her son's room and found him sitting on the bed staring at nothing.
Tears rolled down her cheek seeing his state. She walked towards him and sat near him on the bed. Keeping the food tray on the bed, she held his palm.
He jerked and looked at her. Khushi's heart bled seeing her son's dead gaze. She somehow smiled and said softly, "Have your dinner raja!"
He looked at the tray and then nodded no.
"Please for your mamma..." Khushi begged.
Advay looked at her and then at the tray.
He smiled faintly and opened his mouth slowly. Khushi smiled and started feeding him.
She wiped his mouth with a cloth and gave him a glass of water. She placed back the plates on the tray and was about to get up when he held her hand and asked, for the first time in the whole week, "Where is papa?"
"He is in his study" she said smiling, happy that he spoke something for the first time in the whole week.
"Is he busy?" He asked softly.
"He is never busy for you my raja..." Khushi sang and walked away.
Advay watched her retreating back with his eyes spitting fire. He slowly shifted his vision and saw his and Hanna's photo.
"Advay, come son..." Arnav said smiling as he saw him standing near the door. Advay smiled faintly and walked in. He sat on the couch and asked, "Are you busy?"
Arnav sat by his side and said, "Not at all! Now tell me, what is it?"
"What?" Advay asked.
"You want to say something right?" Arnav said.
"How do you know?" Advay asked. "You're my son! I can understand you!" Arnav said smiling.
"You can understand me. Then why couldn't you understand my love towards Hanna?" Advay asked angrily.
Arnav was taken aback by his rude tone.
"Advay..."
"You knew I love her! You knew that she was my life! You knew she was pregnant! Then why did you do that?" He shouted.
Arnav stood in shock. "What did I do?"
"You're the reason dad! You're the reason for everything!" Advay shouted aloud and everyone came running hearing his voice.
"Advay..." Khushi called and Advay showed his palm indicating her to stop. He turned to Arnav and shouted, "What did she do dad? Hanna considered you as god! When I used to behave cold with you she used to shout at me...she respected you like anything...and what did you do? WHAT DID YOU DO? YOU'RE THE REASON FOR EVERYTHING EVERY PAIN OF MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He shouted which echoed in the whole house.
"Advay...I..." Arnav began when Advay took a glass vase from the side table and threw it towards Arnav.
"Bhai!!!!!" Akash shouted and pulled Arnav back.
The vase crashed and glass shattered in the room.
"ADVAY!!!!!" Khushi cried and ran to him.
Advay pushed her and she fell on the ground with her palm hitting the glass pieces.
"Khushi ji..." Anjali ran to her along with Payal.
"Advay what's wrong with you?" Akash asked angrily while Arnav stood shocked.
Advay looked at Arnav with blood red eyes. Arnav stood rooted seeing raw hatred for him in his son's eyes.
"What's wrong with me?" Advay asked mocking, "WRONG WITH ME? I'M NOT WRONG! THIS MAN IS!!!!!!!!" He shouted pointing to Arnav, "YOU ARE THE MOST DISGUSTING PERSON I HAVE EVER MET MR. RAIZADA! I HATE YOU SO MUCH! DON'T THINK I'LL FORGET WHAT YOU DID? I'LL MAKE YOU CRY ASR, YOU'LL CRY OUT LOUD FOR EVERY SIN OF YOURS! EVEN DEATH WON'T BE PAINFUL FOR YOU! JUST WAIT AND WATCH, I'LL DESTROY YOU COMPLETELY...REMEMBER THAT!" He shouted and then kicked the side table which hit Arnav's leg.
"Advay stop..." Anjali said in tears. Everyone was in shock hearing his words. Arnav held his leg tightly gulping down the pain. The table caused no pain to him but his son's words did!
"Advay...mere raja..." Khushi cried as she walked to him. She cupped his cheek and said, "What happened? Why are you doing all this?" She asked chocking.
"ASK HIM WHY HE IS DOING ALL THIS!" Advay shouted and pushed Khushi away. Arnav walked to him and held Khushi. Making her stand straight he turned to Advay.
Holding the back of Advay's neck, Arnav asked, "What's wrong Advay? What did I do?"
Advay laughed and said, "So you don't have any idea what you did?" He shoved off his hand. "No idea at all? Did you forget everything so soon? Don't worry I'll remind you!" He slid hand to his pocket and took out a knife.
And the next moment he did something that shocked everyone.
"Arnav ji!!!!!!!" Khushi shouted as she saw her son pulling Arnav and holding a knife at his throat.
"ADVAY, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" Angel cried.
"He forgot what he did! I'LL REMIND HIM EVERYTHING!" He said and tightened his hold. The knife went deep a bit and pierced Arnav's skin.
Arnav held Advay's hand tightly and pushed it away. Akash held Advay and NK somehow pulled the knife away from his hand. Arnav gasped holding his throat and Khushi ran to him.
"LEAVE ME...I WANT TO KILL HIM! JUST LEAVE ME!" Advay shouted hysterically as Akash and NK held him tightly.
Akash sighed and said "NK bhai, leave him!" NK did and Akash turned him to face him. Advay stood facing him and Akash slapped him hard.
Advay fell on the ground due to hard slap and his head hit on the chair there. And he fell unconscious.
Akash looked at his brother who was standing numb with Khushi clutching to his arm and crying bitterly. He looked at Anjali who was standing in terror and shock. Payal was clutching Angelina who herself was rooted. Nani was leaning on Mami who was holding on the door.
He looked at NK who was the only one other than him who was in a state of mind.
Akash turned to Angelina and said, "Angel!" Seeing her not reacting he called sharply, "Angel!"
Angel jerked and looked at him. "Call the doctor!" he said and she ran away nodding her head. He walked to Payal and held her arm making her look at her husband. "Go to Khushi ji!" He whispered.
Payal nodded and walked to Khushi. Khushi hugged her sister and cried her heart out. NK walked to Anjali and pushed her to Arnav.
"Akash, let's take Advay!" NK said and the both men took Advay to his room making him lie on the bed while Arnav stood numb not reacting to his sister who was shaking him vigorously.
"He is stressed and shocked," doctor said after examining him, "I'm not prescribing any medicines. I think you should take him to a neurologist!"
"Thank you doctor!" Akash said and led him.
Everyone stood in Advay's room watching their favourite Advay bitwa lying on the bed.
Arnav stood away still in his shocked state while Khushi hung onto him crying on his chest. Angelina held her Anjali bua tightly and Payal and Mami was by Nani's side.
