Author's POV
At the Thakur palace, Aradhya got slapped and she fell down. She looked at her husband who had slapped her.
" How dare you throw Sophia out of the house?" asked Uday, " I did this because she was trying to steal Sonal di's jewelry. That she kept for her daughter-in-law." said Aradhya.
" Sonal, Sonal, Sonal. Bhol gayi ho toh yaad dila do maar gayi hai woh. 25 saal ho gaye hai usse mare hue."
" Sonal, Sonal, Sonal. If you have forgotten then let me remind you, she is dead. 25 years have passed since she passed away."
Uday screamed while fisting Aradhya's hair and pulling them mercilessly. " And you Aradhya, you should be aware that he is your husband, you are not his. You should not stop him from doing anything."
Urmila said while looking at her sister-in-law in that state. Aradhya looked at her and smiled even in pain. " Just because of you. He is like this." said Aradhya, " Aradhya." said Uday and pushed Aradhya.
Uday got angry and pushed Aradhya. Aradhya fell and her forehead hit the sofa and it started to bleed.
" UDAY SINGH THAKUR, HOW DARE YOU TOUCH MY MOTHER?" Maanveer shouted and ran towards Uday. He picked a knife and kept it on the neck of Uday.
Aradhya looked at him. " Maan, stop." said Aradhya. Maanveer looked at Aradhya and saw her wound. Maanveer threw the knife and held Aradhya.
He looked at Uday. " Bastard, I will not leave you." said Maanveer and raised his hand. " Calm down Maan. " said Abhimaan.
Maanveer looked at Abhimaan. Maanveer really wanted to kill his father but as Abhimaan had stopped him. Maanveer always listen to what Abhimaan tells him.
Abhimaan walked inside. He came to them and stood with Aradhya. " Right now take Maa to the room. " said Abhimaan, " Sure Bhaiya. " said Maanveer. Maanveer held Aradhya and then took her. Abhimaan looked at Uday and showed him his index finger.
" And you. If you want then keep your mistresses out of this house. This is my house. Dare you bring anyone here."
" Abhimaan, he is your father. You are not his father. He will do whatever he wants. " said Urmila while getting up. Abhimaan looked at his Bua. " I respect you a lot but I don't care about him." said Abhimaan.
" Because of you, Maan is like this. " said Urmila. Abhimaan smiled. " That is good that he is like me." said Abhimaan. Uday smirked. " Oh. So now you will teach your own father. Don't forget that I am the most strongest power of this Thakur family. You are no one to take decisions in this house." said Uday. Abhimaan laughed.
" You have retired many years ago. Now I am the boss. " said Abhimaan and then walked upstairs towards the room where Maanveer took Aradhya. Aradhya looked at his son. " Abhi, is everything fine?" asked Aradhya.
" Maa sa, just take care of yourself. " said Abhimaan, " Bhaiya, I am telling you leave this mother-son duo here and let's live in the farmhouse." said Maanveer. Aradhya looked at Maanveer.
" Shut up Maan. Maan, please don't speak like that. Your father may not show it, but he does care for us in his own way." said Aradhya, " Maa, the man you care about doesn't even care about you. He treats to like a shit." said Maanveer.
" Enough Maan. Maan, I am going to Banaras for some days. Till then you take care of Maa. " said Abhimaan. Aradhya held Abhimaan's hand. " Banaras. But why? " she asked while getting concerned.
Abhimaan looked at her. " Because it is important. " said Abhimaan, " Okay. But just take care of yourself. " said Aradhya, " Bhaiya, I am also coming with you. " said Maanveer, " No Maan. " said Abhimaan. Maanveer sat down near Abhimaan's feet.
" Bhaiya, agar aap Ram ho toh main aapka laxman. Jaise Laxman hamesha Bhagwan Ram ke saath rehte the, waise hi mujhe bhi aapke saath rahena hai. "
" Bhaiya, if you are Ram then I am your Laxman. Just as Laxman always lived with Lord Rama, similarly I also want to live with you."
Abhimaan couldn't refuse his words. Aradhya had a smile on her face. Abhimaan and Maanveer might be step-brothers but they don't behave like one. In the room, Abhimaan was packing the things when a photo fell down from the middle of his clothes.
He picked that photo. " Missing her?" asked Aradhya. Abhimaan looked at her and then kept the photo in his closet. " I miss her but you make me feel that she is still here with me." said Abhimaan.
Aradhya smiled and then went from there. Abhimaan picked the glass of whiskey and came to the balcony. He looked down and saw Uday lying on the sofa naked, on the garden's sofa and Sophia riding him.
Uday looked at Abhimaan and smiled. Uday held Sophia's waist and started to move more faster. Abhimaan felt disgusted with this behavior of his father and threw his glass down. And it broke into millions of pieces.
Banaras, it was the night time when Ishqi came to the room of her father. She had a tray in her hand in which a glass full of turmeric milk and some almonds were kept near the glass.
" Baba." said Ishqi while coming inside the room. Shrikant looked at her. That time Shrikant was reading a case file. " Baba, stop now. You work almost for the whole day. Now at night rest." she said.
She kept the tray near the side table and then picked the case file that Anirudh was holding. Shrikant smiled. Ishqi kept the file in the book shelf. Shrikant picked the glass of milk.
" Ishqi, if you take care of me then I should also take care of you." Shrikant said and then covered Ishqi with a shawl. She smiled at her father.
" Come on now sleep. No buttering." said Ishqi. Shrikant smiled and then lay down on the bed covering himself with the blanket. Ishqi switched off the lights of the room and then walked out of the room.
She came to her room and sat in front of the mirror. She started to remove her earrings and bangles. " My Baba is my only family. And for him, I can do anything for him. I can't lost him like I lost Mumma. " she said.
She picked a photo frame in which Shrikant was sitting on a chair and Mannat was standing behind him and Ishqi sitting down near his feet. They looked very happy. Ishqi also got a smile on her face.
Ishqi jumped on the bed and then lay down on the bed. She picked a book and then started to read it. She got lost in that book and then slept soon.
The next day, Thakur haveli, at the breakfast table, Aradhya was sitting on the head chair. Abhimaan was sitting on her left side and Maanveer on her right side. They were having the breakfast. When Uday came down along with Sophia.
" Aww such a cute family breakfast going on. " said Uday, " I am not in the mood to kill you. So stay away." said Maanveer. Uday made a face. Abhimaan and Maanveer finished their food and then got up.
" Maa, we will take your leave." said Abhimaan. Aradhya got up. Both her sons touched their mother's feet and then took her blessings. " Take care of each other at every point of life." she said.
Abhimaan and Maanveer picked their bags and then walked out. Aradhya stood there looking at her sons. " Come in Uday, let's enjoy the day. " said Sophia. Uday kissed Sophia. " Let's go Baby. " said Uday and then went to their room with Sophia.
Aradhya shook her head. She remembers that her life was perfect until her sister didn't die and she wasn't force to leave her love for the sake of the only child of her only sister. She was ready to leave in a loveless marriage but she didn't want Abhimaan to not to get motherly love his whole life.
Aradhya had tried her best that her sons didn't turn out to be like their father. She tried her best to make her kids the opposite of their father. Abhimaan and Maanveer had always seen what Uday did and had decided not to turn out like him.
Abhimaan and Maanveer's cars were running on the road towards Banaras. Abhimaan was busy on his laptop while Maanveer was scrolling some photos on his phone. He had a small smile on his face.
Raghav, Abhimaan's most trusted bodyguard and Maanveer's best friend, looked at him. " Why are you smiling like an idiot?" said Raghav. Maanveer looked at him. " Shut up. " said Maanveer. Raghav laughed.
Raghav increased the speed of the jeep. Abhimaan and Maanveer's jeep was in the middle. Two jeeps were ahead of them and two were behind them.
Those jeeps were full of guards. These guards are specially trained by the Indian Army only to protect the Thakur family.
They can kill or get killed for them. They can take as many as bullets only for 'The Thakur's'. All of them were very tall and had attractive personalities just like of their bosses. Abhimaan just sat there looking outside.
When suddenly his phone rang. Abhimaan picked the phone. " Thakur sahab, we .... we are sorry but that girl is not ready to sell her land. " said a man in a fearful voice, " Shut the fuck up. I need that fucking land. I don't care how much money you spent to buy it."
Abhimaan shouted. " Ye .... Yes sir." said that man and cut the call. Soon Abhimaan's cars reached Banaras. Abhimaan slides down the window and then looked out. The walls of Banaras were filled with the handmade paintings of Mahadev and Mata Parvati.
Everything was very attractive. " Bhaiya, everything is so nice. " said Maanveer. Abhimaan turned towards his brother and nodded. The jeeps stopped outside a farmhouse. Raghav came down and opened the door for Abhimaan.
Abhimaan came down with his coat in his hand. Suddenly he heard the sound of the anklets. He turned around and saw a girl running. She was in a white anarkali suit.
" Simba, Simba, wait." she said while running down the stairs of the Assi ghat. That was none other than Ishqi. She ran down the stairs of the ghat. Maanveer came to his brother.
" Bhaiya, what happened?" he asked. Abhimaan shook his head and then walked inside. Maanveer and Raghav were behind him. " Who was that girl?" said Abhimaan in his mind.
He came to his room and straight went to the balcony. He lit a cigarette. He was looking at the flowing water of the Ganga river. When Raghav came there. " Thakur Sahab, he is here. " said Raghav.
Abhimaan turned around and saw a man standing there. " What is it? Tell me everything." said Abhimaan, " Thakur Sahab, that land belongs to some Ishqi Shrikant Tiwari. We have talked to her many times but she refused giving that land. She says that she wants to make an old age home and orphanage there."
Abhimaan threw his cigarette down. " Old age home my foot. I don't care. I need that land. I will build a luxurious hotel there. " said Abhimaan, " Sure Thakur Saheb." said that man and then walked out of the room.
Outside Kashi Vishwanath School, Ishqi and Ishaan came out. " This paper went well. After one week, my main exams are starting. I will work more harder." said Ishaan. Ishqi smiled. " I know Ishu. You will study very hard and I am there for you." said Ishqi.
Ishqi is a writer for Ishaan. Ishaan smiled and then went from there. Ishqi turned around and suddenly got shocked as a man was standing there. He was the same who had talked to Abhimaan.
Ishqi folded her hands. " What is it?" asked Ishqi, " Look Madam, Thakur sahab is here now. Please give the land otherwise you and your father have to pay." said that man. Ishqi smiled.
" You tell your Thakur sahab that I don't give a damn about who he is. " said Ishqi. Ishqi pushed that man and then walked away from there. That man picked his phone and then called Raghav.
" Sir that girl is still not giving that land." said that man.
