Author's POV

"Arjun has a dreadful past" said Sitaara with moistened eyes. He nodded at her to continue.

"Arjun's parents were childhood bestfriends and fell in love as they grew up. Since both the familes know eachother and are family friends, they agreed to get them married. But Arjun's uncle always had a crush on Arjun's mother and it turned out as obsession when they decided to get her married to Arjun's father"

"Arjun's uncle is a very cruel man and always used to envy Arjun's father as he was always best in everything. His hatred towards Arjun's father increased when he was made CEO of their company"

"Days were moving smoothly and Arjun's uncle too got married to other vile gold digging woman. They planned many ways to kill Arjun's parent's but failed as Arjun's father knew his brother's cunning mind. Soon Arjun was born and this built up hatred towards Arjun by his uncle" she said and stopped as waiter brought their food. He served and went away. Sitaara continued.

"On Arjun's 3th birthday, he was blessed with his sister Maya. She was his world and he was very much overprotective of her. At the age of 7 his uncle planned a cruel game again in which Arjun's parents were dead. Arjun's uncle thought he could take up their companies but Arjun's father made a will that after him it's only Arjun's right to own all the companies, properties including the mansion they live, if anything happens to Arjun everything will be donated as charity" said Sitaara and smiled

"Who handled their company all these years?' Asked Abhi.

"It was my father. My father and Arjun's father were bestfriends. He requested my father to handle his business and train Arjun, then hand over him the company once he proves his capabilities. Arjun's uncle and Aunt didn't know about the will and they signing 'no objection' papers as Arjun's father tricked them. Once they came to know they started treating Arjun and Maya brutally. Maya was only 6 years still they used to beat her, keep her hungry for days, when Arjun was in school they many times tried kill Maya but she was saved by Arjun's grandparents which irked them and they made Arjun's grandparents bed ridden by injecting some harmful fluids into their body"

"As days were passing Arjun was made to eat rotten food and Maya used to stay hungry crying. He sometimes used to come my home for food for Maya and used to feed her hiding it from his uncle-aunt. He used to borrow my sister's clothes for Maya as they always made Maya to wear torn clothes. His uncle never liked Maya as she was exactly like Arjun's mom and he took his revenge on Maya by raping 6 years Maya. It was hopeless situation for them but Arjun never told us anything. My parents were in depression as we lost my aunt so they couldn't pay attention towards Arjun and Maya much"

"As days passed their torture intensified. Arjun used to plead them not to hurt Maya, he was ready to bear anything for his sister but they never paid heed to his cries and beggings. They used to lock him in one room and used to torture Maya in other room burning her hands and legs, slashing her with belt and cuts on her hands with knife. Arjun's grandparents used to watch everything helplessly, but they couldn't even say anything as they lost speaking ability and were dead soon"

"Little 6 years old Maya who was raped by her own uncle many times, who couldn't bear the torture has gone under trauma and was joined in mental asylum as she developed psychiatric problems. Arjun cried not to take her away, but the mental asylum people couldn't go against his uncle. Then my parents understood something brutally happened with both brother and sister but Arjun was never able to speak after going through all this to make us know exactly what happened with him and his sister. He used to sit in dark room crying day and night. My parents tried to bring him to our mansion but he was adamant not to leave his mansion as it hold many memories of his parents, grandparents and his sister. So they let him stay there but my mom, aunts, uncles and dad used to visit him daily. Once they were out of the mansion after visiting Arjun, torture used to begin."

"One day we got a call that Maya was dead falling from roof. That day we lost Arjun completely. He was like a dead corpse and stopped speaking to everyone. He didn't even share his pain with us"

"Few months later we had a science fair at school, we bestfriends enrolled our name in it. We went to Arjun's mansion to work on our project with the help of Sid anna and saw Arjun getting beaten by his aunt with heated spatula. His cousins were burning his books and his uncle was held Arjun so that he cannot move. We secretly ringed to my father and he came with police. They took his uncle-aunt to jail. Aarya ran to Arjun and hugged him and he cried for the first time in her embrace after his sister's death. Then he started opening up again but only to Aarya and her presence always helped him in healing from the scars in his life. Though it took Aarya 8 years to bring him back, we are happy Arjun is fine now moving on from his past" said Sitaara.

"All this happened when he was only 11 years old. His parents death when he was 8 sister's death 9 and he was free from hell at10 " she added.

"But he never seem he had such a terrifying past" said Abhi. She smiled nodding her head.

"Not everyone are same, Mani. Few hide their pain releasing it as anger, few hide it mingling themselves with people, few distance themselves from their loved ones. Arjun hid his pain behind his smile and mingling with people" said Sitaara.

"Am not over, listen! After years his uncle and aunt came back from jail. Instead of holding grudges he spared them as he believed regretting is the most painful punishment. Now, they behave fine and beg Arjun for forgiveness but he never said anything which made them cry daily in guilty which he believe it is their punishment. Now, they all stay together in his Mansion but he rarely goes home as he spends most of his time at his penthouse and not even once he spoke to them, not even once he looked at them properly. Though he gave them roof to live, he won't pay any bills for them. His brother and sister work at orphanage and pay their fees. His uncle-aunt goes for job as lectures" said Sitaara.

"He is a vey strong man, sweetheart" said Abhi.

''He is good hearted too, Mani. If I was in his place I would never let his uncle and aunt step into house again but he respected their age and relation they share. He knew how to keep families together. He knew the value of elders and respect them. He has a huge heart to forgive even his enemies yet punish them in his own way" said Sitaara.

"Now, what is your opinion on their relationship?" She asked.

''I never objected, Taara. It's just I felt betrayed but I understand. I don't want to snatch away the person from him with whom he found peace. I approve but what if his uncle and aunt do same with my sister? If it happened once there is no guarantee it won't happen again" said Abhi with concern.

"Yes!! It already happened once in Arjun's life which taught him to protect his people, he will protect Aarya and their future kids too even before it happens. Scars might fade away from body, Mani but what about scars on heart? It will remain forever and will make the person remind of it again and again making him stronger than before. Arjun is enough capable now! He won't fail again in protecting his people from dangers, Mani'' said Sitaara. Abhi nodded.

''So you agreed?" She asked excitedly.

"I never denied. So, yes I agree" he said with a smile. She clapped her hands grinning. He smiled.

"Doesn't Vikram love anyone?" He asked.

"He pretends that he don't love anyone but he does. He always zones out, looks into space grinning like manaic, always stares at picture of girl whom we assume his love. We tried to find her in many ways but we failed and are waiting for him to open up" said Sitaara. Abhi nodded with a poker face.

Later they had dinner talking about her college days at Mumbai and pranks she used to pull out on others.

Once they finished they got up paying the bill. They went to ground floor and a girl around 25-26 years old jumped on Abhi.

"Hey baby!! I missed you" saying this she tried to kiss him but Abhi pushed her away.

"Abhi...baby why did you push me?" She asked rubbing his arm, tracing his jaw with her finger seductively.

"Don't touch me you bitch!! Still didn't change even after the pain your family going through" he shouted at her.

"I love you, Abhi. I was your first love, you can't insult your girlfriend like that" she said rubbing herself on him. Abhi looked at Sitaara who watching everything emotionlessly, he quickly pushed the girl and turned to Sitaara.

"Sweetheart, I can explain-"

"Who is she, Abhi? Your new girlfriend or your new sex buddy? Oh!!! She is wearing mangalsutra and vermillion, you are having sex with married woman? She must have fucked by her husband many times already, leave her. I will pleasure you like I did in past" said the girl and next second she was lying on floor cupping her cheek. Abhi slapped her as he understood his ex girlfriend, Sanjana trying to break his marriage life.

"How dare you talk dirty about my wife? How dare you w***e? She is not a woman like you, she is pure as goddess, you s**t'' he shouted and was about to slap her again but his morals not to hit woman held him back. Everyone stood rooted at their place seeing his most dangerous form.

"Leave her, Abhi. Right now" shouted another woman who is around 28 years old.

"Oh!! Both the bitches are here. Who are you both trapping this time?" He mocked though he felt to cry his heart out as they are reminding his past.

"Don't call us bitch. Never" said the woman with Sanjana.

"You both are s***s, w****s and yeah b****s too. Not to forget you are a murder who killed my friend" he said and by this time he was shivering voice was cracking, his eyes filled with unshed tears.

"How dare you accuse us something cheap" saying the woman was about slap Abhi, Sitaara held her in mid and twisted it backwards.

"You raised my hand on husband? Huh?" Saying this she twisted the hand more.

"With this hand you dared to slap him... right?" Sitaara twisted it more and pierced a fork lying on next table into her palm making her cry in pain.

"I don't know what you both woman have relation with my husband in past but I can say you both are truly bitches based on your behaviour and the words you use" she said pushed the woman.

She held Sanjana by her arm harshly and lifted her from floor. She gave a tight slap twice.

"You cheap woman!! You are asking my husband sexual favour? Shame on you. Don't you have basic manners? You knew he is married still you dared to pull out such a cheap stunt. Bloody bitch'' she said and slapped her once again and threw a sauce on her clothes.

"Go! Now, go and sleep with whoever you want. Dare you come to my husband again, you won't be able to breathe" she said and pushed her.

"Manager" shouted Sitaara. He came running to her.

"If at all anything happened here is leaked, I don't care to sue your whole staff's career. Now, push these both women out this restaurant" she ordered coldly.

Manager nodded with fear and went away dragging both the woman with the help of other staff. Before stepping out Sanjana turned to Sitaara furiously.

"This is not over bitch!! I will come back and make you pay for this insult" shouted Sanjana to which sitaara showed her middle finger mouthing 'fuck off' and smirked.

Sitaara turned to Abhimanyu and saw him like he was struggling to breath, he was sweating profusely, his face was all red and he was shivering.

She ran to him and made him sit on one of the chair. She gave him some water. He denied and hugged her waist snugging his face into her stomach. She felt wetness on her belly.

"Shh... don't cry. They are gone, Mani. Relax. Take deep breaths" she said running her hands in his hair.

"They both ruined me and my best friend. That woman who tried to slap me, Anjana, killed my bestfriend, ruined his perfect life" he cried.

''Don't shed your tears over unworthy people and pain caused by them. You are Abhimanyu Chowdhary, you can't be weak. Don't cry now" she said cupping his cheek and wiped his face with hem of her saree.

"Don't ever leave me please. Am begging you" he whispered. She stared at him blankly but nevertheless she nodded considering his state.

"I'll never leave you" she said and kissed his forehead.

"Here drink this water" she said forwarding a glass. He nodded and gulped it in one go. She chuckled and wiped water off his blazer.

''Come let's go'' she said and took his hand in hers going towards exit and they exited. The chauffeur brought the car from parking lot.

"I will drive the car, Mani" she said. He nodded looking dull.

"Now, let me be gentlewoman" she said chuckling and opened car door for him. He smiled slightly and sat inside the car. She went to driver's seat and started the car sitting inside.

"Am sorry, taara" he said.

"For what?" She asked casually though she understood what he was speaking about.

"Because of me, Sanjana used cheap words at you and I ruined your surprise'' he said. She smiled.

"I didn't mind it, Mani. Since I stepped in your home you always stood for me even going against your aunt and I know you will stand for me again that's why I didn't react and many people speak many ill things about us, if we keep on minding them we will be falling into the pit they wanted, like she tried to break our marriage indirectly telling bad things about you. So, it's better to ignore it making their words hit back to them" she said. He smiled.

"You wanna have drinks?" She asked. He nodded.

"I saw you smoking whenever you are angry or upset over something. Shall I stop somewhere?" She asked. He looked at her with a smile. He held her palm in his and intertwined their fingers.

"I have you. You release all my tension with just your smile. I don't need a cigar to free my sour mood, just stay beside me" he said. She didn't say anything and looked straight.

He turned his head to window, tears were rolling down his cheek.

"You wanna talk?" She asked. He stayed silent. She changed the direction of their route.

"I never cried infront of anyone untill you came into my life. Even I never saw myself crying. You are the first one to witness my cries after my bestfriends" he said looking out. She hummed.

"Where are we going?" He asked.

"To have some peace of mind. I usually go to a place where I find peace. I hope it works on you too" she said. He nodded.

Soon the car stopped infront of huge gates. 'Vitaara orphanage and NGO' was written on the building in bold letters.

"Get down, Mani" she said opening car door for him. He chuckled and got down. They both walked inside.

"Situ akka" shouted a girl running to Sitaara. She opened her arm welcoming the girl in her embrace. Sitaara lifted the girl in her arms and kissed her cheek.

"You didn't come since many days" complained the girl pouting.

"Sorry doll. I was busy and it won't happen. Promise" said Sitaara making baby faces. Girl flashed a smile.

Soon all the girls and boys below 15 surrounded sitaara and Abhimanyu.

"It's 9:30 pm. Why didn't you guys sleep? It's very bad" said Sitaara trying to be stern but failing miserably. They all showed their tongue and giggled. She glared at them playfully placing her palms on her hips.

"Sitaara" they heard a feminine voice. She looked behind children and flashed a smile.

"Renu aunty" she shrieked and hugged the lady who happened to be care taker of the orphanage.

"How are you situ? Wait! You got married?!" Said Renu looking at Sitaara's wedding chain and vermillion on her forehead.

"Yes, aunty. I got married two months go precisely" said Sitaara.

"Who is that lucky man who got this gem?" Asked Renu smiling. Sitaara turned to Abhi. He came forward.

"He is my husband, Abh-"

"Abhimanyu Chowdary, the youngest businesses tycoon and won the best business man award constantly from past 6 years. Double hattrick!!" said a boy around 14 years. Everyone looked at him shocked.

"Akka, I have read an article about Abhimanyu Sir, about his achievements in newspaper three months ago and he became my inspiration since then" said the boy grinning.

"Wait, one minute" he said and ran into one of the room and came back with a paper.

"Look, Sir this is an article about you. I've pasted it on wall. I wished to meet you since read about you and finally I met you" said the boy with shining eyes. Abhi smiled ruffling the boy's hair.

"So, aunty this is my husband, Abhimanyu, Abhi" said Sitaara. Abhimanyu joined his palms greeting Renu. She too reciprocated his greetings joining her palms.

Renu made Sitaara and Abhi stand beside each other and looked at them with a huge smile playing on her lips.

"You both look perfect together. Just like made for each other. I wish you both live long life together and have many kids" said Renu. Sitaara gave a tight lipped smile while Abhi grinned from ear to ear.

"Enough!! Though that bitch Sanjana ruined all my plans we got blessings from this lady. I truly feel very happy with just these words" thought Abhi.

"Sitaara I hate you" said a little boy around 5 years old glaring at Sitaara. She furrowed her eyebrows and knelt infront of him.

"Why baby? Why do you hate me?" She asked cupping his face.

"You promised me that you will marry me when I grow up but you married him. Is that because I have cavities and yellow teeth and this uncle don't? Uncle, I hate you very much. You stole my sitaara" said the boy puffing his cheeks. Abhi chuckled at his words and knelt before the boy beside Sitaara making her shock as she didn't expect this move from him.

"You know, I don't like this aunty. She always irritates me. You can take her if you want. I won't stop you" said Abhi pointing at Sitaara. She opened her mouth like a fish.

"Am just 24 and am not aunty. You are 28 and would be 29 soon and you are the uncle" she said glaring at him and turned to boy.

"Nitish baby, even I don't like this man. Just grow into a big man we both will get married. I will leave this uncle for you" said Sitaara.

"You won't leave me ever" said Abhi. She turned her face away with puffed cheeks.

"See uncle, she don't like you. I will take her with me once I grow big. Take care of her till I take her with me or else I will punch you doom doom doom" he said punching his fist in air. Abhi smiled.

"Okay! I will take care of your aunty like a queen" he said. Sitaara punched his biceps making Abhi laugh.

"Children it's time for sleeping, you all go back to beds" instructed Renu. Everyone looked at Situ.

"I'll come here again soon and get chocolates like I sent them last time" she said. They nodded grinning and kissed Sitaara's cheek and went away wishing good night.

(Remember? Sitaara demanded 50 baskets of chocolates earlier? She sent them here! Remember? She asked Naman to teach football to kids at orphanage? She was talking about this orphanage and kids here)

"Sir, can I take a photo with you?" Asked the same fan boy of Abhi. Abhi nodded and Sitaara took a photo of them in camera which belongs to that boy.

"What's your name?" Asked Abhi to the boy.

"Vasthav" said the boy. Abhi nodded and removed his watch.

"Here keep this with you. Am not donating this to you as charity but it should remind you the importance of time and hardwork I did to stand in this position today which should inspire you every second and remind you your aim every minute'' said Abhi. Vasthav took it with tears and nodded his head and hugged Abhi suddenly.

"Thank you sir. I will become a successful man like you" said Vasthav.

"You will" said Abhi hugging back. Wishing good night Vasthav went to his room. Sitaara smiled at Abhi and turned to Renu.

"Aunty we need little time for us. Do not let anyone come to backyard and we will receive a package, don't send that delivery boy away seeing the packages" said Sitaara. Renu nodded.

"Come" said Sitaara to Abhi and they both went to back yard and sat in bench. Silence prevailed none of them spoke. They were enjoying the cool breeze with comfortable silence between them.

"Samhith" said Abhi the silence. She looked at him.

"My best-"

"Sorry for interrupting, Mani. Our drinks arrived, I'll get them and you can continue" she said. He nodded. She went to entrance and took the package after paying the bill and came back to Abhi.

She gave Abhi beer bottle and she took breezer.

"Thank you" he said and clicked his bottle to Sitaara's. She smiled nodding her head.

"Samhith, my best friend..."

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

How many of you guys think Arjun's past is really a dreadful one?

Isn't it painful to see parents death at 8, physical and mental abuse at 9 and seeing his 6 year old sister getting sexually abused, and her death?

Arjun is really strong according to me!

Pitying Maya? Don't! She is one of the superb kids who need to be respected rather than pitying. Being 6 year old kid surving such a cruel thing is really an appreciable one!

Do you guys think Arjun did right thing giving shelter to the couple who killed his grandparents, parents and his sister?

It's only shelter that he provided. He didn't let them eat even what earned by him. Everything is being earned by their own!

Men like his uncle do exist!! Yes! They do! And roam on roads like they have achieved something great and this society still blame that 6 year kid who don't even know this cruel world!

Why? Because it is easy to judge a girl or a woman? Why she has to be framed? Why she is called names? Why she is alleged that she provoked men? Does 3 years old kid, 1 year old kid too provoke men?

Sanjana entry? Murder of Samhith? Is that true? She warned Sitaara. Is she gonna ruin Sitaara in anyway in future?

'Vitaara orphanage!' Peace bringing place for Sitara. What do you think about this orphanage? Sitaara's connection with them?

Abhi's past gonna revealed!! Yay!!

Enough of my rants!! Hope you guys agree to point of view and comment if you guys really do.

Precap:- Abhi's past.

Surya.
