CHAPTER 18

~•°•~

THE Rathore family is in confused state no one knew whether they should happy that youngest one is going to settle in his life or or should be feel terrified of presence of past in older son's life where the tsunami of emotions are going to take place in Vidyuths life, Vidyuth himself is in a confused state somewhere he is happy about Mannara is returned but for some reason Meera's face is again and again flashing in his mind.

Shagun is standing right beside Mannara obviously they are bestfriends Shagun is the one who brought Mannara to Rathore mansion today Vidyuth is having a long eye contact with Mannara they both were in their own world no one dare to interrupt them and here Vidyuth is having his own mind struggles.

"Vid mannara is here aren't you happy"

Shagun thought to break the silence since everyone is in shock, she about to talk again but got cut of by Vidyuth marching towards Mannara, Vidyuth hugged her like he is going to loose her again Vidyuth always had and still have that soft spot for her, no one was happy about Mannara suddenly returning in Vidyuths life.

"How are you are you okay?"

He asked her in worry, she smiled at his behaviour.

"I'm good Vid and how are you doing"

With soft voice replied to him, Mannara is a good girl but the kind of things she have faced made it worst for her to service specially the way Rohit Roy took place in her life make it worst nightmare for any girl.

"All fine"

Vidyuth replied to her once he realised his behaviour he got back from her and saw each and every eyes on them but his eyes were searching perticular Ocean eyes, there stood Meera fire in her eyes glaring at Anushka.

Why she have to be always in her own  world she don't even care if her husband hugs other women

Vidyuth thought looking at her.

"If you are done with your little reunion my Manna di? How are you long time no see"

Tanvi interrupted them, Mannara is always been nice to Vidyuth brothers and sisters she was like elder sister to them.

"I'm all good tanu just missed you a lot"

They had warm hug vinay and Vihaan too greeted her and welcomed to the mansion.

"Come on you both don't dteal my moment maa papa yeh Anushka"

Vinay introduced Anushka yes it had to be his moment but Vidyuth and Mannara both became showstealers.

Nandini took Anushka's hand made her sit on the cauch everyone got settled in living room with large cauches.

"Bohot pyari lag rhi ho"

(Looking so pretty)

The complement from Nandini rushed a guilty feeling through Anu's mind.

"Anty mujhe maaf kardijiye me sabse Maafi mangti hu"

(Anty forgive me I asked forgiveness for everyone)

Anushka always been humble but can be furious beautiful but can be bold and brave she always left good impression on who ever she encounter with.

"Nhi beta aap Rathore pariwari ki mahalaxmi ho aise hath jodte aap ache nhi lgte"

(No daughter you are malalaxmi*goddess of wealth and happiness* of Rathore family you shouldn't ask forgiveness)

Adiraaj said looking at Anushka he knew the moment he saw her with Vinay standing beside her being all Loverboy who is head over heals for her there no other girl who will be enough capable to tame this boy.

"Dadaji yeh apka badapan hai me ap me se kisise bhi bat kr skti thi me me bat kr nhi payi"

(No grandpa I would have had a talk regarding things with you but I couldn't)

"Yeh apki galti nhi hai halat hi aise the abhi yeh sab chod do hamne tumhe yaha isliye bulaya hai taki ap dono ki shadi ki bat kia ja sakhe"

(It's not your fault situations were like that and leave this all we called you here to talk about your marriage)

After hearing words from rajmata Anushka blushed looking at Vinay who winked her.

"Mujhe shadi se koi problem nhi hai par kya me aage Jake apni career pe focus kr skti hu?"

(I don't have any problem with Marriage but can I continue my career after marriage)

Anushka asked being unsure of Rathore family because the way her family Conwayed her career so cheap she still is insecure about what if she get rejected here too and also she always thought Rathore's will never let there daughters and daughter in law's to focus on there career.

"Haa kyun nahi Tanvi meri beti hai vo bhi to modeling or rhi hai aap bhi kr skti yeh meri wada hai apse apko koi nhi rokhega"

(Yes why not Tanvi is my daughter isn't she doing modelling you can do too no one will stop it's my promise)

This time the person who rarely talks in the mansion is now taking fully interest in his son's life.

"Sahi kaha tumne Ritvik aao beto idhar"

(You said right Ritvik come and sit here)

Adiraaj told Ritvik to sit beside him, Ritvik did everything on his own the way he built his own empire Adiraaj is really proud of his son whenever he look at his younger son, he is thankful to his son's one son sacrificed his dreams to help his dad in business Harsh Rathore always wanted to become a classical singer but he let go his dream to help his dad and Ritvik focused on his passion he became best surgeon and built multiple hospital but he is managing everything on his own and Vinay wants to help his dad in his business. Ritvik went and sat beside Adiraaj as he sat beside him he felt his father's palms corressing his back.

"And what about my career than?"

Vinay interrupted everyone, if Tanvi is Little Princess of Rathore family than Vinay is little prince of Rathore family.

"Apko kuch krne ki jarurat bhi nahi hai beta"

(You don't have to do anything son)

Here comes the wife of Ritvik and mother of vinay and Tanvi.

"Nhi maa mujhe aise nhi rehna me abhi kaise shadi kr skta hu Anu se?"

(No mom i don't want to be like this I can't marry her like this)

Everyone had confusion what he is talking about is he rejecting her?

"Mera matalab hai me abhi Anu ke layak nhi hu mujhe ab tak nhi pata tha life me kya Krna hai na koi dream tha na koi goal par mujhe abhi pata chal gyi hai mujhe Viddy Bhai se business management seekhna hai or papa ka help Krna hai fir mujhe shadi krni hai"

(I mean to say I'm not capable for her i didn't knew till now what will I do in my life I had no goal no dreams but now I know I want to help dad in his business I want to learn business management from viddy brother first)

Vinay was never person to talk about his career and he is never person who takes a responsibility.

"Mujhe uski responsibility bhi to Leni hai na I want to be capable for her aise nhi krna mujhe abhi shadi nhi karni mujhe I was irresponsible, careless kid untill I met her but now I feel like I want to take her responsibility for that I first need to work on myself"

(I want to take her responsibility)

Ritvik felt proud of his son untill now he never a person who was there for his son and daughter because of his work but looking at how his son feels for him makes him proud of his son, he had tears in his eyes he went towards Nandini.

"Thank you bhabhiji mere bete itni achi parvarish Dene ke lie I have always been busy with my work but you were always took care of Vinu and Tanu"

(Thank you sister in law for giving wonderful upbringing to my son)

And for Nandini she never thought of Vinay and Tanvi as Ghunjan and Ritvik's child's she always took them as her childrens everyone knew what kind of women Ghunjan is she is always shows much interest in party's and clubs every year half of year she stays at her mom's place only.

"Aise keh ke mujhe paray kar rahe ho rahi bat vinu and Tanu ke vo dino mere hi bache hai"

(You are making me feel outsider Ritvik and about Vinay and Tanvi they both are my children's only)

"Are you okay with this Anushka?"

Harsh asked Anushka about Vinay's decision.

"I don't have any issue with as he wants uncle infact I'm happy for him"

She said having a eye contact with Vinay.

"Khana thanda horhi hai sab chalenge? Khana khane ke lie?"

(Food is getting cold will everyone have lunch now?)

Nandini prepared soo much for lunch today because of Anushka and Vinay.

"Wow maaa you are the best"

Vinay hugged Nandini once he caught all dishes are his favourite only.

Everyone started to have lunch trying to ignore the fact that Mannara is back who is Ex-girlfriend of Vidyuth Adiraaj thought to have talk about regarding things with Vidyuth once he will be done with taking care of following situation.

A known voice heard by everyone in dining hall.

"Wrong time pe aagaya kya me?"

(Did I came in wrong time or what?)

Rohan came inside looking at everyone having fun while having lunch.

"Subh teen bar contact kia mene kaha the tum?"

(I contacted you three time morning where were you?)

Rohan is like adapted son of Rathore family no one treated him as outsider Vidyuth too share very special bond with him.

"Mummyji vo ek client se milne gaya tha"

(I went to meet  one of client mummji)

Nandini rolled her eyes.

"Vo sad chodo thak Gaye honge aavo baito khana khav and Vidyuth I know you are a working machine don't make him one too"

(Leave that you must have tired come have lunch)

Vidyuth rolled his eyes he always thought Rohan is stealing his mother at the same he was thankfull that no one treated him as a outsider specially motherly love his mom gives him he needs it all the time.

"Beta ap mujhe bata dijiye agar Vidyuth apko jyada Kam deta hai to"

(Son tell me if Vidyuth gives you so much work)

Adiraj glared at Vidyuth while asking Rohan, rihan had a seat Nandini served him.

"Nhi dadaji aise kuch nhi hai"

(No grandpa nothing is like that)

Everyone rolled there eyes on Rohan's reply.

"Dadaji aap bhool the ho yeh Bhai ke technical boyfriend hai he will never go against him inki bromance nhi dekha apne"

(Grandpa have you forgotten he is technical boyfriend of brother haven't you ever seen bromance)

Vihaan teased there bond infront of family.

"Vidyuth ne Meera se shadi karlia kya pata agar Rohan ladki hota to Vidyuth usse hi shadi krta vo akela hai jo Vidyuth ke Bina bole sab kuch samaj jata hai"

(If Vidyuth didn't married to Meera he would have married to Rohan if he was a girl only he understands Vidyuth even if he says nothing)

Nandini said looking at them where Rohan caughed at Nandini reply.

"Mummy ji bilkul nhi yeh mere type ka nhi hai Meera is better for him"

(Never mom he is not even my type)

Rohan said while coughing Meera's eyes are snapped at him.

"Yeh mere bhi type ke nhi hai"

(He is also not my type)

Meera who kept silence till now finally decided to talk that too saying he is not her type, which made Vidyuth glare at her.

"I know mannara is the best for him"

Suddenly a disappointment took its place on the dining table, and for Vidyuth having a soft corner for Mannara is not at all helping the situation and here Mannara and Vidyuth both have feelings for each other, even if Vidyuth is unsure of his feelings towards Mannara whether it's guilt or sympathy or love but for Mannara Vidyuth is the only guy she ever loved so dearly and still having feelings for him, and for Vidyuth Mannara is the only girl he ever laid his eyes on, Vidyuth needed time to sort out the situation and everyone respected that but shagun is making it worst.

"Agar apko yad nhi to yaad dila dun Vidyuth abhi shadishuda hai"

(If you have forgotten let me remind he is married now)

Seethadevi roared on Shagun which made chills run down on the table.

"Yeh sab bate badme bhi hosakti hai sab khana khalijiye"

(We can talk about this later too everyone complete you lunch)

Adiraaj ordered everyone the only thing is heard is silence and sound of eating.

Everyone finished their lunchand they went to respective rooms Mannara left to her room also with Shagun Anushka went with Meera in garden they both are sitting on the cauch.

"You feelings for him?"

Mewra is beyond shocked after hearing what Anushka said.

"NOO I DON'T HAVE ANY FEELINGS FOR HIM"

Her out brust said another story thought Anushka kept calm face.

"You don't have problem in divorcing then"

Meera somehow felt pang in Her heart she wants to divorce him but thought of divorcing him makes her feel sad because in small amount of time she able to form lillt crush on him maybe she will agree to it.

"Yeah"

She sounded unsure the confidence she had while saying she don't have any feelings for him but that's confidense ran away once she said 'yeah'

"Anushka did you met mom in hospital I haven't visited her I missing her alot"

ANUSHKA'S POV

Guilty is the only thing I'm feeling now,

Should I be happy that my bestie got married or I should be feel sad about her faith that she couldn't even meet her mom last time, or should I feel pathetic of myself that I can't even tell her that do I have to lie, keeping her in dark is the last thing I'll do but now I don't have any choice.

Flashback

Before one day

The sir in the Mumbai feels so fresh and here on mareena beech it feels worth to be spending self time time here but I'm here is waiting for a perticular person to show up.

"Did I made you wait?"

Here he is.

"I just came here"

He smiled but that smile had pain in it even is he is not my real brother but he always treated me like one.

"How are you? Baby sister?"

Babysister is what he calls me and Meera we both are not his biological sisters but still he loves Us more and more I have been trying to contact her maybe after leaving to US she forgot her bestfriend but at the same time I'm hell worried for her..

"Nicy bhaiya I missed you"

I hugged him, even if I know he called me to meet him suddenly I know there is something very important is hiding but still I can't help to hug my dear brother.

"Me too but abhi in here about something very important"

I knew it.

"Do you know where is Meera?"

That's the exactly question I'm asking to myself where is Meera she is not the person who will not contact for a day infact she is kind of person who text me each time in five minutes always telling me about her daily things little little things happened with her.

"I don't where she is I have been trying to contact her it has been a week"

But somehow calm expression in DOMINIC KNIGHTS face doesn't suit well for a situation does he know where she is?

"The guy you were going to marry forced her to marry she is with him"

The guy I was going marry VIDYUTH RATHORE? why the hell he force her to marry him did he caught her after I run away how selfish of me I only thought about myself.

"Shh don't cry it's not your fault"

"I'm dating his younger brother and he called me to their mansion"

I remember what vinay said to me I didn't hide it from Niccy.

"I know moment both met in banglore that's the time when I checked his background it's not surprising but I'm here for something else"

He cares for me as he cares for Meera and that makes him my brother even if he is not my biological brother.

"Anu listen to me carefully"

His serious expressions don't tell me there is badnews, I nodded.

"Anu mom is no more"

The moment the words rolled from him I felt like my world collapsed does Meera know that? Or she is still not aware of that, I started to cry I don't know what to do how to react to the news how can it be possible.

"Anu please don't make it hard for me I don't want Meera to know that if you meet her  don't tell her keep the news away from as much as possible Rohit is in desperate to get Meera out from Vidyuth she is safe with him even if it is temporarily Rohit is not good news for her"
