Mumbai…
It cannot be said that Mumbai is a small city; Mumbai is a very big city. It would be almost impossible to find anyone here!
Where two people met and then parted, how will the same city bring two people closer? What will happen when the memories of the past are brought out in front of everyone?
The story is the same, only the names and faces of the characters will change.
Mumbai…
It was evening…
The roads were crowded everywhere. The night traffic on Mumbai's roads is no less. Looking at the traffic from all sides, a girl sitting in a black car said while looking out the window,
“Oh god! When will this clear up, Mom, Dad? We’re going to be late.”
Having said that, the girl looked ahead, where a woman and a man were sitting in the front seats. After saying this, she looked to her side, where another girl was sitting, staring out the window.
“I think she likes this traffic, right, Mom?”
Hearing the girl’s words, the man sitting in front said,
“What kind of things come into your mind, Prachi?” he said, looking back at Prachi slightly.
When the woman heard the man’s words, she said,
“What happened, Akshay ji? It’s alright, they are just kids, both sisters, they talk like this.”
Akshay ji: “You don’t understand what I’m saying, Yuvika. Granted she’s a child, but who speaks like this?”
Yuvika looked back with a smile, her gaze falling on the girl who was still looking outside, oblivious to everything. “Saanjh, what is there to see outside, dear?”
Hearing Yuvika’s voice, Saanjh looked and said,
“Nothing, Mom, I was just observing. People are rushing around since morning, but this traffic for a few minutes gives them rest.”
“Hey! It doesn’t give rest, it makes you late,” Prachi said, sitting at an angle and looking at Saanjh.
“Yes, I know, it makes us late due to this traffic, but that’s in our hands. We know that there are signals everywhere, so we should come before time. You know, these are made for our own safety. Imagine how many accidents would happen daily if these weren’t there, this crossing would always be crowded, and pedestrians would have a lot of trouble.”
“Enough, Saanjh, enough! My head is aching from all this knowledge. By the way, Mom, Dad, she should be in the social welfare department, not the business field!” Having said this, Prachi glanced at Saanjh, who was looking outside again. “There’s no hope for her, she’s so young, but look at her… she seems older than me, why did you grow so tall?”
Saanjh: “Leave it.” Saanjh smiled and said while looking outside, “Finally, everyone will get busy again.”
When Akshay ji heard Saanjh’s words, a smile appeared on his face. He said,
“Exactly, you two mother-daughters are alike, Saanjh and Yuvi.”
As soon as Yuvi heard this, a smile lit up her face. She rested her head against the seat and closed her eyes. The hazy memories of the past still troubled her. As soon as Yuvi closed her eyes, she remembered Yuvan’s words when he had told her,
“Our daughter will be exactly like you.”
Looking at Yuvi, Yuvan had also said the same way,
“And the son will be exactly like you.”
Yuvan: “But I want a daughter.”
Yuvi: “No, first there will be a son, who will always be on my side.”
Yuvan: “Then why not both?” Saying this, they embraced each other.
“You’ve said that absolutely correctly, Dad, Mom and Saanjh are exactly alike, and you and I are alike,” Prachi said, laughing.
Hearing Prachi’s laughter, Yuvi opened her eyes. She had moved on from her past, but as they say, memories never leave you. Yuvi stuck her neck out of the window and started looking outside. There were no expressions on her face.
After a short while, Akshay ji parked the car in front of a very big hotel. Everyone got out of the car. Saanjh also came out. She was wearing a beautiful blue dress, and her hair, which reached her waist, looked short today thanks to Prachi, because Prachi had curled her hair.
As everyone was about to go inside, Prachi said,
“Today we are late because of this Saanjh, and on top of that, this Mumbai traffic! Mahira must be angry.”
“You are late because of me, don’t lie, Di,” Saanjh said. Just then, Akshay ji said with a laugh,
“Go, there’s Mahira in front.”
Prachi and Saanjh saw Mahira and went to her.
Mahira, who was sitting with her fiancé, got up and hugged Prachi as soon as she saw her, saying,
“So, now you’re arriving?”
Prachi: “What could I do, yaar, I was busy getting Saanjh ready.”
Hearing Prachi’s words, Saanjh looked at her and, coming and sitting next to Mahira, said,
“Tell the truth, Di, after changing clothes four times, you finally wore this dress?”
Hearing Saanjh’s words, everyone laughed. Prachi looked at her and said,
“Alright, dear! We’ll deal with you when we get home! By the way, Ajit Jiju, you tell us… who looks more beautiful?” Prachi said, looking at Ajit.
Ajit looked at all three and thought, what should I say? Saying this, Ajit said,
“I have three relationships with you three: one is a sister, one is a sister-in-law, and one is a wife! So it’s simple, all three of you look good.”
When everyone smiled at Ajit’s words, Mahira said,
“Why don’t we dance?”
Mahira looked at Ajit. By then, Prachi had taken both their hands and brought them to the dance floor, where everyone else was already dancing.
Saanjh was standing aside, watching everyone. As beautiful as she was on the outside, her heart was equally beautiful. Saanjh looked around, and her gaze fell on a small child sitting on a chair watching something. Saanjh said hello to him, and just as she was about to leave, her dupatta got pulled. Saanjh turned around and saw a boy standing there, whose watch her dupatta had gotten entangled with. Saanjh glanced at the boy and quickly pulled her dupatta away and left. As Saanjh did this, the boy immediately looked behind, but no one was there.
Meanwhile, Prachi was tired from dancing. She sat down near Yuvi and said,
“Really, dancing is so much fun.” Saying this, Prachi quickly stepped off the chair and grabbed Saanjh’s hand as she was leaving.
Saanjh: “What happened, Di?”
Prachi: “Let’s dance.”
Saanjh: “No, I don’t want to.”
Prachi: “Mom, tell her to dance.”
Yuvi looked at Saanjh and said,
“Please, Saanjh, Di is saying…”
Saanjh looked at everyone and came to the dance floor from there. She took a few girls with her and started dancing.
O Kadio Gud Kinne Khaaleiya, Sweety
Gud wali cha kinne peeti, Sweety
Bua ji da naada kinne khicheya, haan
O khinch ke maari kinne seeti
Oh chhaddo ji chhaddo
Ja ke pakdo woh halwai
Ke jisne gud ki bana di mithai
O sabko baat hai ye samjhai
Saanjh was doing every step very well at the wedding. All the guests present were watching her together.
O Gud naalo ishq mitha
O Gud naalo ishq mitha (Oye hoye)
O Gud naalo ishq mitha (Aaye haye)
O Rabba lage na kise nu jaave
O Gud naalo ishq mitha oye
Sohni mera dil le gayi (Oye hoye)
Haaye kudi meri jaan le gayi (Aaye haye)
O mujhko yaar koi toh bachaye
Gud naalo ishq mitha
“Truly, this girl runs away from dancing, but she dances brilliantly,” right, Mom? Prachi said, resting her head on Yuvi’s shoulder and looking ahead.
Yuvi, who had been smiling looking at Saanjh for a long time, agreed with Prachi and said,
“Absolutely, she’s dancing very well.”
Meanwhile, as soon as the dance ended, Saanjh came forward and brought Ajit and Mahira to the center, and this time a couple’s song was playing. Saanjh was so engrossed in dancing that she was dancing separately, to one side. Just then, a boy passing by, holding a glass of drink, accidentally bumped into Saanjh from behind, but Saanjh wasn’t paying attention at all. When Saanjh felt something strange, her eyes widened. She immediately untied her hair and started looking around. She didn’t have the courage. Saanjh took a step back and stood leaning against a nearby pillar, muttering to herself,
“Oh God! How did this zip open… What should I do…”
As soon as Saanjh said this, someone offered her his coat. Saanjh’s gaze fell on the boy standing in front of her. Saanjh screamed and said,
“You… you’re here too?”
The boy looked at Saanjh and said,
“Oh! So it’s you… the lying girl…”
Saying this, as the boy turned to leave, before that Saanjh took his coat from his hand and draped it over her hands and shoulders.
The boy looked at Saanjh, who looked very beautiful even when she was tense.
“You know, it would look even better on you,” saying this, the boy left from there.
Saanjh looked at the boy and said to herself,
“Look who it is!” Saying this, Saanjh looked at the coat and put it on.
Further…
No response from Groq.
When Akshay heard their laughter, he looked towards them. Prachi, Saanjh, Maulvi Ji, and Yuvanika were all laughing. "I didn't tell any jokes, did I?" Akshay said, looking at everyone as he stood up.
"You didn't tell a joke, Dad, you killed the whole lineage of jokes!" Prachi said, high-fiving Saanjh sitting next to her, and started laughing. "You probably don't even know, but you've been telling us for the last seven months that, kids, Mumbai is new to you!"
Akshay looked at everyone and said, "Yes, I know, but that doesn't mean you've explored Mumbai in seven months. Many times, even after living in a place for years, we don't get to know anyone, and you're talking about a city." Akshay's facial expressions were different from his words.
When Maulvi Ji and Yuvanika heard Akshay, their faces also showed strange expressions. "Come on, come on, let's have breakfast quickly!" Yuvanika said, looking at everyone and performing an aarti.
"You're coming too, right, Papa?" Saanjh said, holding Akshay's hand from behind with great affection. As Saanjh's hand suddenly grasped his, Akshay's expression changed. A smile appeared on his face. He turned and looked at everyone, placed his hand on Saanjh's head, and said, "So you two thought I would roam around like a serious dad?" Saying this, Akshay started laughing heartily.
"We all have that expectation from you from the beginning, Jindal Saheb." Yuvanika said, performing an aarti on Akshay's head and placing prasad in his hand.
Akshay looked at Yuvanika and said, "Come on, everyone, have breakfast." With that, Akshay ate the prasad and walked towards the dining table.
Everyone got up and followed Akshay to the dining table. Yuvanika was serving breakfast to everyone. Saanjh quickly stepped forward and lifted the lid of a bowl on the table. "Okra! Who eats okra?" Saanjh made a face.
"Now, if she doesn't like okra, does that mean no one should eat it?" Prachi said, making a face and looking at Saanjh.
"You two, stop it. Saanjh, I made rajma for you, eat that, but no fighting, okay!" Yuvanika said, sitting down at the table.
After some time, everyone finished their meal. Maulvi Ji said, sitting on the sofa, "Only Sunday is the day that brings the whole family together. Otherwise, you four are in the office and leave me alone here. You only get this one day to be with everyone. So, on this pretext, let's go out today, and Prachi's promise will also be fulfilled."
Akshay went and hugged Maulvi Ji, saying, "I don't tell anyone, Mom, but these three are managing the business on their own. Prachi and Saanjh have earned their positions with their capabilities, and Yuvanika is my partner, so what can I say about her."
"I have an idea," Saanjh said, looking at everyone.
"It must be some nonsensical idea," Prachi said, putting her hand on her face and lowering her head. But everyone had heard Prachi.
"Why don't you also join the office with us, Grandma?" Saying this, Saanjh started laughing loudly. "You said you don't feel like staying at home, right? Dad will give you a separate chair there, and you can sit there and boss everyone around like a grandmother."
Hearing Saanjh, Maulvi Ji made a face and playfully hit Saanjh on the head, saying, "Silly girl!"
"Oh my God! This girl is truly crazy!" Grandma said, looking at Saanjh for a moment and then at Akshay.
Akshay looked at Prachi and said, "Go Prachi, get ready, and you too Saanjh, we have to go to the temple."
"Now, Dad?" Prachi said, looking at everyone.
"Yes, dear, now. What's the problem? We'll go out and have a good time. Anyway, it's Sunday, and Mom feels like it too," Yuvanika said, looking at everyone.
"There's no problem. I thought we'd go in the evening, and I could finish some of my office work. Otherwise, there's no problem," Saanjh said, looking at everyone.
"So come on everyone. Get ready quickly, today's dinner is on Dad, right Dad?" Prachi said with a smile.
"Saanjh, remind her what her promise was," Akshay said, looking at Saanjh.
"Promise? Oh, tell me, someone, what promise was it?" Prachi asked everyone, getting up from the sofa and gesturing with her hands.
"That as soon as your salary comes, you'll treat us all to dinner like good children, take us out, and shopping," Saanjh said, getting up and putting her hand on Akshay's shoulder, looking at him.
"Huh? When did I say that? It doesn't work like that. Mom, Grandma, you both say something. Anyway, the boss gives such a small salary, and if I give so much to all of you from it, what will be left with me? No, no, we'll have dinner with Dad's money."
"Oh, so your strict boss gives you such a small salary? Why Akshay? Tell me, does anyone get so much work done from their employee and not pay them?" Maulvi Ji said, looking at Akshay.
You can talk to them yourself. Anyway, from tomorrow, your new boss is coming, you know that, right Prachi and Saanjh? So you can talk to them about the salary too," Akshay said, looking at both of them.
"So the company is yours, isn't it?" Prachi said, making a face.
To be continued...
Akshay looked at both of them and said, "You can talk amongst yourselves. Anyway, from tomorrow you all will have a new boss. Don't you know, Prachi and Saanjh? So you can discuss salary with them as well!"
Prachi made a face and said, "But the company belongs to you, doesn't it!"
Saanjh asked a bit more seriously, "Did you talk to your BOD? You and they must have decided to change the CEO, right? Who is the new person coming?"
Yuvnika looked at everyone and asked, "Mr. Dhawan is no longer the CEO."
Akshay looked at Yuvnika and said, "Hmm. There is a new CEO in his place, he'll arrive tomorrow. You all meet him tomorrow. And yes Yuvnika, you take a few days of rest. You are not joining yet."
Yuvnika looked at Akshay and said, "But I am fine now. The sprain has completely healed. I will join back from tomorrow."
Akshay replied again, "No means no. Once I've said it, there's no question of it. I will not agree now."
Maulvi ji scolded everyone and said, "Alright, alright, that's enough. Why are you all sitting in the office on a Sunday? Let it be for today. Otherwise, for six days you people are out during the day and seen only at night. Today is the only day you are all here. And even then, you bring up office talk!"
Akshay placed his hand on Yuvnika's shoulder and said, "Okay, everyone meet me here in twenty minutes. Come to the room." Having said that, Akshay left.
After Akshay, Yuvnika and everyone else also went to get ready.
Dad... Dad... Where are you? Dad, man, where are you? Saying this, a boy was rapidly coming down the stairs. He was wearing a blue shirt with black jeans and was coming down the stairs, adjusting his watch. Just then, he collided with Savitri ji who was coming from the front.
The boy looked at Savitri ji and said, "Sorry... sorry, Grandma... are you alright?"
Savitri ji looked at Vedansh and said, "I am perfectly fine, but Vedansh, dear, watch where you're going. What's the hurry?"
Vedansh said, "Sorry, I was looking for Dad. I haven't seen him since morning. Where did he go? Did you see him, Grandma?"
Devki ji came towards them, smiling, and said, "How would Grandma see him? Grandma was busy making your favorite food, both father and son!"
Vedansh looked at Devki ji and bowed down, touching her feet, and said, "Good morning, Big Grandma!"
Savitri ji held Vedansh's ears and said, "Hey, I am here too. You didn't even touch my feet."
Vedansh hugged Savitri ji and said, "You get a hug, Grandma. Feet are touched by elders. You embrace younger people!"
Savitri ji pulled Vedansh's ears and said, "Get away, you rascal!"
A girl, who looked about eighteen or nineteen years old, put her hands on her waist and made a face, saying, "This is all he learns from Grandma at college!" Hearing this voice, everyone looked behind.
Vedansh went up to the girl and said, "Yes, yes, very funny! Are you watching what I do? Little monkey!"
Devki ji laughed and said, "Piyani... dear, don't speak like that. But tell me, who told you that this is what they learn in college?"
Piyani looked at Vedansh and said, "I know everything. Anyway, I needed to talk to Dad. Where is he?"
Vedansh looked at Piyani and said, "I was also looking for him. What do you need?"
Yuvansh came down the stairs and said, "What work has come up that you both are calling for me?" Wearing a white kurta and a black watch on his hand, Yuvansh looked very handsome.
Piyani hugged Yuvansh and said, "Papa... Papa, please agree, please. Piyani hugged Yuvansh and said, "Please agree, it's just a matter of a few days, please let me go on the trip. I promise no mischief. If you don't trust me, send my brother along too. Even with him going, the kids will be going. Will he look after me? Won't he, brother?" Piyani winked at Vedansh.
Vedansh stammered, "Yes... yes... why not, I will go if Dad says so."
Yuvansh looked at both of them and said, "What are you two up to? You're trying to fool me!"
Vedansh said, "No... no Dad, why would we do that? Please let Piyani go. I will go along, so she will have fun and I will look after her."
Yuvansh came down and touched Savitri ji and Devki ji's feet, saying, "Alright... you can go now, but both of you..."
Devki ji whispered into Savitri ji's ear, "You ask, not me..."
Savitri ji nudged Devki ji with her elbow and said softly, "You are elder, sister. He will listen to you. Please ask..."
Yuvansh looked at both of them and asked, "What happened to you two? Do you need something?"
Savitri ji said, "Well... well... I was saying that Yuvansh and I, no, if you wish, we can go to the Durga Mata temple!"
Yuvansh said, "Hmm..." Saying this, Yuvansh left. Feeling quite upset by Yuvansh's lukewarm response, Savitri ji said sadly, "He doesn't believe in God anymore, does he? It's been so many years, he hasn't visited their temple. One mistake is causing such a big punishment. What bad luck we have!"
Devki ji placed her hand on her shoulder and nodded, saying, "My heart tells me that someday things will get better in our house. Much better. Come on now, get ready, the temple is quite far!"
Hmm. After saying so much, Yuvansh left. Savitri Ji felt bad after hearing Yuvansh's so dull reply. "Where does he believe in God now... so many years have passed, and till now he hasn't even gone to His temple..." Such a big punishment for one mistake. What bad luck, isn't it... Savitri Ji said while looking gloomy.
My heart says that maybe someday things will be good at our home. After saying so, Devki Ji placed her hand on her shoulder and nodded her head in affirmation. "Come on now, get ready; the temple is far."
Meanwhile, Akshay was standing in the hall, ready. Maulvi Ji and Sanj were standing beside him. Sanj was wearing a blue plain kurti which was round.
"How much time will you take, Prachi? And you, Yuvanika?"
Yuvanika looked at herself in the mirror and quickly picked up her sindoor box and applied sindoor. Behind her in the mirror, a large picture was hanging where Akshay, Yuvanika, Prachi on one side, and Sanj on the other, and in the middle, on a chair, sat Maulvi Ji. The photograph showed a perfect family.
After a while, both of them came down. Prachi, in black jeans and a white short top, with open hair, looked very pretty. Yuvanika was wearing a plain yellow saree.
Akshay looked at everyone and stepped out. "Why do you all take so much time to get ready? Mom and Sanj are already here. You both are late." After saying so, he sat in the car and asked everyone to get in.
"Dad, these are the days of life that you have to live to the fullest; otherwise, later when someone like you comes along, you won't even let them get ready properly. You always tell Mom to get ready at the last moment... You know how much we girls have to get ready? You just wear a pant and shirt and walk out, and we have to look at the dress, then the matching earrings, sandals, watch, do makeup, make our hair... there are so many things." Prachi, sitting on the back seat of the car, was explaining to Akshay.
"That's enough, sister! How much you talk! You do all this too; I just wear whatever is in front of me because I have my favorite clothes in the almirah, so I just wear any one of them." Sanj replied, then looked at Akshay and said, "I am just like Papa; I get ready in very little time." After saying that, Sanj looked at Akshay and gave him a high-five. Both gave each other a high-five and started laughing loudly.
"That's not right; we don't take time to get ready; that doesn't mean... whatever you say, Mr. Jindal." Yuvanika said with a pout.
"Oh, oh, respected lady, when did I say anything to you? You shouldn't be so impolite..." Akshay started laughing after saying that, and everyone started laughing, but Yuvanika pouted and turned her face outwards.
"Look, Sanj, Prachi, your Mom's face has turned up. Every month, her face turns up, and I have to take her on a date. You are of the age to go on dates, and I have to take your Mom. Twenty years, every month... I take her on dates..." Akshay said while looking at Yuvanika, who was staring back at him.
"You two just keep going on dates like this every month; that's all we want." Prachi said in a different tone. Yuvanika caught Prachi's ear and twisted it, then said while looking at Akshay, "Marry her off, find a good boy... then she'll know how much she talks."
"That's enough; all of you talk so much! Stay calm like me. Anyway, Yuvanika beta, did you take Mata Rani's dupatta?" Maulvi Ji asked.
"Yes, Mother; I took it. I took all the stuff." Yuvanika replied, "And it's such a lovely place! I saw such a lovely place in Mumbai for the first time."
"Me too. Really, it's great! It's a different kind of peace. You feel like sitting there forever; you don't want to leave. I haven't even seen Mumbai properly... the beach here is very good, but when will we see...?"
"It's a great place; it's a peace that you can't find anywhere else..." Yuvanika stopped suddenly. She looked at everyone who was looking at her. Yuvanika looked around and said, "What happened? Why are you all looking at me like that?"
"You also came to Mumbai for the first time, so how do you know all about it?" Maulvi Ji asked.
"Mother, God! I came to Mumbai for the first time, but I didn't just use my mobile for the first time. I saw it on my mobile one day, so I knew; otherwise, I still haven't explored Mumbai." Yuvanika said and fell silent.
"Why don't I take out some time and take you all around?" Akshay said while looking back. "What do you say, ladies? What do you say, girls?" When no one replied to Akshay saying 'ladies', he hit his head and said, "Oh sorry! Girls?" Everyone started laughing as soon as Akshay said that.
Meanwhile, Savitri Ji, Devki Ji, and Vedan, Piyani, and Yuvan had left for the temple. Yuvan increased the speed of the car and said, "Don't take much time, Mom; I won't stay for long." After saying that, Yuvan increased the speed of the car.
"I don't know why Papa has such a grudge against the temple; He never goes to the temple." Piyani said softly in Vedan's ear.
"He does. I have never seen Him going to the temple. I don't know what His problem is. Anyway, don't talk much; otherwise, Papa will hear and get angry. Mom isn't here to take our side." Vedan said while looking at Piyani.
"I don't know why Dad dislikes temples so much, he never goes," Piyani whispered into Vedansh's ear.
"That's true, I've never seen him go to a temple either. I wonder what his problem is. Anyway, don't say too much, or Dad will hear and get angry. Mom isn't here to take our side!" Vedansh said, looking at Piyani.
"Yes, call Mom, I miss her. I don't know why she's just gone off. I understand the office is important, but there are children too!" Piyani said with a pout. Vedansh then pulled her cheeks, saying, "Don't act so grown up, understood?"
"What happened...? What are you talking about? Who's acting grown up...?" Yuvansh asked, seeing both of them through the mirror in front.
"Nothing, Dad, it was just our talk. Me and brother were just chatting," Piyani said, looking at Yuvansh.
A short while later, Akshay parked the car outside the temple. Everyone got out of the car. Akshay took the luggage out and started walking towards the temple with Yuvnika and the priest. He looked back where Sanjh and Prachi were standing near the car.
"Sanjh, Prachi, you both come to the temple and get your darshan, my dears..." Akshay said, looking at both of them.
"You go ahead, Dad, we'll be there in a minute!" saying this, Prachi held Sanjh's hand and moved away from the car.
"Don't go too far, stay nearby," Yuvnika said, watching them leave.
Yuvnika, Akshay, and the priest entered the temple. While the three were having the puja done by the priest, Sanjh and Prachi were looking at the shops below. Just then, a car stopped next to them. Prachi immediately pulled Sanjh aside and said to herself, "They drive as if the road belongs to their father, they don't even see who's there, what place it is, or where. No, they don't just drive, they fly!"
"Enough, elder sister, it's okay, I'm fine. I was standing in the wrong place. Their car's speed was also low, and they were driving properly. Anyway, let's go, or Dad might come to pick us up here!" Sanjh said, holding Prachi's hand and leading her away.
Prachi and Sanjh were walking along, lost in their own thoughts, while Yuvansh had come out of the car and was standing there. Everyone had come out. Devaki Ji was holding a plate in her hand. She saw Yuvansh and said, "Won't you come, Yuvansh...?"
"You know very well, yet you ask the same question, and my answer is the same. I don't even feel like setting foot in this temple. All of you go and come back quickly." Saying this, Yuvansh turned his back to everyone and stood there.
As everyone started going into the temple after hearing Yuvansh's words, Sanjh had also heard him. She looked at Yuvansh and said, "How strange they are! Can someone be angry with God too...? God never does anyone any harm!" Sanjh was standing in one place, thinking all this, when Prachi placed her hand on her shoulder and said, "Come on, or Dad will come."
"Let's go," Sanjh said, and left with Prachi from the car. As Sanjh left, Yuvansh looked at her, and from behind, she looked exactly like Yuvi. He kept looking at her. Meanwhile, Savitri Ji was climbing the stairs when her foot suddenly slipped. Before she could fall, Sanjh, who was walking behind her, caught her and, with one hand, held her plate.
Seeing Savitri Ji falling, Yuvansh also rushed up the stairs. Meanwhile, Devaki Ji and Prachi immediately helped her up properly and made her sit on the stairs.
"Are you alright, Grandma...?" Sanjh asked lovingly, placing her hand on her shoulder.
Savitri Ji looked at Sanjh and said, "My leg hurts." By then, Yuvansh had also arrived. He placed his hand on Savitri Ji's shoulder and said, "Are you alright, Mother? Couldn't you walk carefully? Where was your attention? You shouldn't have come, you could have sat down..." Seeing Yuvansh speak like this, Sanjh glared at him and said,
"You are very rude! She's hurt, and you're scolding her." Saying this, Sanjh knelt down and, holding Savitri Ji's leg, asked, "Does it hurt here, Grandma?" As Sanjh asked, Savitri Ji nodded her head in affirmation. Yuvansh quietly watched Sanjh. Sanjh looked at Savitri Ji and said, "I managed the plate... what was the hurry for you?" Saying this, Sanjh held Savitri Ji's leg and twisted it, causing Savitri Ji to let out a slight cry. Hearing Savitri Ji's cry, Yuvansh immediately grabbed Sanjh's hand and pulled it away, saying, "You're crazy! She's in pain, and you..." Before Yuvansh could say anything further, Savitri Ji said, "The pain in my leg is completely gone!"
Hearing Savitri Ji's words, a smile appeared on Sanjh's face. As she was about to say something to Savitri Ji, Akshay's voice was heard from above, calling them both.
"What are you doing, child? Come quickly, the priest is waiting." Prachi looked at Akshay and said, "We're coming, Dad." Saying this, Prachi held Sanjh's hand and said, "If Mom comes, she'll scold. Come on." Sanjh looked at Savitri Ji and said, "Take care, Grandma." Saying this, Sanjh looked at Yuvansh and walked past him, but Yuvansh's hand brushed against Sanjh.
No response from Groq.
No response from Groq.
Prachi, hugging everyone, said, "Good morning, everyone." Everyone wished her good morning. Akshay came down in a hurry and sat down to have breakfast. Looking at Sanjh, he said, "Sanjh, I am going out of Mumbai for an important meeting. You two manage today. I'll see you all in the evening."
"That's fine, but what meeting is it, Dad?" Sanjh said, placing salad on his plate.
"It's a meeting for the project we've been working on for the last six months. Five companies are involved. Only three people will get the opportunity to work on this project."
"That's good, but which other companies are there?" Hearing Sanjh's question, everyone looked at her. Akshay said, "One is RSS, one is Singhania, one is Suryavanshi, and one is Rathore."
As soon as she heard the company names, Yuvnika immediately looked at Akshay and, getting her fingers caught in the pallu of her sari, said, "Can I also join the office from today?"
"No," Akshay said.
"You remember, don't you, Papa? My and sister's posts. I am Mr. Dhawan's personal assistant, and sister is an employee..." Prachi heard Sanjh and said, "Let's start from here, shall we? See, we'll snatch Dad's chair very soon." Hearing Prachi, everyone looked at her. Prachi made a face and said, "I mean, we'll reach his position quickly through hard work. I didn't mean snatching."
"Can I also come to the office, please Akshay?" Yuvnika said.
"I told you no, Yuvnika, rest for a few days. You take on so much load! Don't you remember last time? You got a fever trying to prepare that meeting file, and you sprained your ankle that day. You won't join today, join from tomorrow. Happy?"
Yuvnika nodded in agreement and quietly went into the kitchen. The expression on her face changed completely. She put her hand on the shelf and started thinking about something.
Prachi and Sanjh both went to the office in the same car. Akshay had also left for his meeting. On the way, he called Sanjh and Prachi to tell them that their boss, who was supposed to come today, would not be coming.
Sanjh and Prachi both arrived at the office. Everyone at the office knew that they were Akshay's daughters. Prachi was busy with her work, and Sanjh was also looking at her schedule. She noted down all the delays so far and started preparing some files.
The day passed by like this. Prachi, after finishing her work, came to Sanjh, who was busy with her own tasks.
"Let's go, Sanjh, you can do it tomorrow. Let's go home now. Look, it's eight o'clock," Prachi said to Sanjh, looking at her watch.
"You go, sister. I'll come in a while. And yes, eat something. I'll just finish a little work and come in a bit," Sanjh said. Prachi looked at her and said, "Are you sure you'll come? Shall I wait if you want?"
"Oh, you go. It's not the first time, is it? You go, I'll come." Prachi looked at Sanjh and said, "Okay, I'm leaving the car here. Please come quickly."
Sanjh agreed and went back to her work. She was so engrossed in her work that she didn't notice the time. Suddenly, Sanjh's gaze fell on her phone, and she saw the time; it was nine-thirty at night.
Sanjh gathered the files and stood up, muttering to herself, "Oh God! Oh God! I'm dead! Mom will kill me! Oh dear! What should I do? I need to get out quickly." Saying this, Sanjh quickly came to the parking lot and left in her car.
Yuvnika was pacing the hall. Prachi and Grandma were sitting on the sofa in front of her. "Didn't I tell you not to leave Prachi alone! Do you even know it's getting late. On top of that, her phone isn't connecting. Where could she be? How is she?"
Prachi, while calling Sanjh, said, "She'll come, Mom." Prachi had just said this when the call connected. Sanjh, picking up the phone from a distance, said, "Don't worry, I'll be there in a little while. There's a network issue on the way. Don't worry, I'll be there soon."
Before Prachi or Yuvnika could say anything, the call from the other end was disconnected. Sanjh looked at her phone and said, "Network issue again! Oh dear!" Saying this, Sanjh looked ahead, and the car stopped. Sanjh tried to start the car, but it wouldn't start at all. Sanjh tried to start the car repeatedly. When it didn't start, she got out with her phone, which had no network. She walked ahead, looked at the car, and said, "This had to break down now! What do I do now? I can't even call anyone." Saying this, Sanjh stood there.
Sanjh stood a little distance away from the car, waiting for an approaching car or auto. Just then, some boys approached her. Seeing them, Sanjh took a step back and quietly started looking at her phone.
"Shall we help, madam? Where do you need to go?" one of the boys said.
"We don't need any help, brother. We'll walk," Sanjh said and immediately stepped in front of her car.
One boy said something to the other, and the other boy immediately stepped forward and grabbed Sanjh's hand. Sanjh looked at the boy and kicked him hard in the stomach, then ran away from there.
To be continued
Saanjh immediately came forward and said, "We don't need any help, brother, we'll leave."
One boy said to another, and the other boy immediately stepped forward and grabbed Saanjh's hand. Saanjh looked at him and kicked him hard in the stomach and ran away.
Saanjh was running fast. She looked back and saw three boys chasing her. Saanjh increased her speed and started running faster. Her breath was coming in gasps. Suddenly, Saanjh noticed a black car parked in front of her. Saanjh quickly went to the car, opened the door without looking, and got inside. She locked the door from the inside and leaned back on the seat. The sound of her quickening breaths echoed throughout the car.
"Who are you...?" Hearing the voice and the question, Saanjh looked beside her and saw a boy sitting there. He was wearing a white shirt and black pants. A laptop was on his knees, he held a watch in one hand, and his hair was disheveled. His eyes were red.
"I... I... am a girl. Please, please help me. Don't make me get out of the car, please..." Saanjh joined her hands and looked out the window. The three boys were coming towards them.
"Oh, hello... Who are you? Get out of my car, please, whoever you are," the boy said, staring at Saanjh.
"Your car...? Oh, it's yours. I'm not going to steal it. But some people are after me. Please save me."
"Get out of my car." Saying this, the boy grabbed Saanjh's hand.
"You are... you are very bad." Saanjh could only say this much before someone knocked on the car window.
Fearful, Saanjh couldn't look back. She immediately moved forward and hugged the boy. As Saanjh hugged him, the boy's eyes widened in surprise. He glanced at Saanjh and then at the window. Three boys were standing there. When they knocked on the window, the boy rolled it down and said, "What happened...?"
One of the goons, looking at the boy, said, "Have you seen any girl going from here?" Hearing the man's words, the boy replied, "No, I haven't!"
The man saw Saanjh hugging the boy, and the other man said, "Brother, this girl is wearing the exact same clothes. I think this is the girl." Hearing the second man, the first man stared at the boy and said, "Who is this girl...? Show me her face...?"
"She... she is my wife, and why should I show you her face? Leave, or I'll call the police," the boy said, stroking Saanjh's hair. Hearing him, Saanjh made a face and said, "You scoundrel! A complete liar! I am his wife!" As she said this, Saanjh dug her nails into the boy's hand.
As soon as her nails dug in, the boy let out a scream.
The man gestured to the other man, and they left. As soon as they were gone, the boy quickly rolled up the car window and moved away from Saanjh.
"Did some mad dog bite you...? Why did you scratch me?" the boy asked, almost staring at Saanjh.
Saanjh looked at the boy and said, "So, what did I say? Tell me I'm your wife, I'm not your wife!" Saanjh said, making a face.
"Then who told you to hug me? And if I said it, I said it. It's what I could think of. Otherwise, they would have seen your face and taken you away, your dear relatives!" the boy said, looking at his hand.
"My relatives...? They are dear? They are your relatives, they meet you, and they are full of anger, and you... looking at you, it seems like you roam around with a factory of anger on your nose!"
"Yes, mine is big, right? Yours is even smaller. A person should have a brain, you don't even have that." Hearing the boy's words, Saanjh stared at him and said, "Don't eat my brain! Just because you helped me doesn't mean you think you're Akshay Kumar! No one can be like him!"
"I don't aspire to be like anyone. Anyway, get out of my car now," the boy said, staring at Saanjh.
Saanjh looked at the boy and said, "You are a very rude person! Instead of helping a girl, you are thinking of leaving her alone this late at night." Saanjh said with a grimace.
The boy heard Saanjh and, putting his hand on her mouth and moving closer, said, "You talk so much! Have you done a PhD in talking? Get out properly, or it won't be good if I make you get out." Saying this, the boy removed his hand from Saanjh's mouth and got out of the car from his side.
Meanwhile, Yuvi was sitting in the hall. Looking at Prachi, she said, "Oh God! Her phone isn't connecting, and she hasn't arrived either. What should I do? I'm feeling uneasy."
"We can't bother Dad either, or we would have told him. Let's wait for some time, and if she doesn't come, we'll tell Dad," Prachi said, looking worried.
Maulvi Ji looked at both of them and said, "Keep calling. I don't know how my child is. It's getting very late at night."
To be continued
Yuvvy was sitting. Looking at Prachi, she said, "Oh God! Her phone isn't connecting, and she hasn't arrived either. What should I do? I'm getting anxious."
"We can't bother Dad either, or we would have told him. Let's wait for some time, and if she doesn't come, we'll tell Dad," Prachi said, looking worried.
Maulvi ji looked at both of them and said, "Keep trying to call her. I don't know how my child is. It's getting very late at night!"
When Saanjh did not get out of the car, the young man opened the other side door, grabbed Saanjh's hand, and pulled her out, saying, "Oh please! Get out now, understand? I'm getting late." Saying this, the young man left Saanjh there and got into the car. By then, the car driver had also arrived. He started the car and drove away.
Saanjh watched the departing car and muttered to herself, "How will I go home? This scoundrel has left me here! My heart is made of stone... no, no, he doesn't have a heart with brains. He just left an innocent girl alone on this deserted road at night..." Saying this, Saanjh turned around and saw those same three boys standing behind her! As soon as Saanjh's eyes fell on the three of them, her eyes widened in shock.
Seeing the three boys in front of her, Saanjh's eyes widened. She said softly, "Y-y-you guys...?"
Seeing Saanjh, one of the boys said, "You thought you were so smart. What did you think, you'd get away? You have no idea who you're dealing with. My name is Shera, and once I agree to do something, I do it no matter what! And your death is written by my hands!" Saying this, the boy started laughing.
A girl was going in an auto when her gaze fell on Saanjh. She asked the auto driver to stop and got out herself. She looked at the auto driver and said, "Some people are bothering that girl, please help." Hearing Kashi's words, the auto driver agreed and drove away. The girl got out of the car and approached those people. She placed her hand on her waist and said, "Oh brothers! What are you doing here? Don't you have to go home?" Hearing the girl's voice, the three boys looked towards her. Saanjh, hearing the girl's voice, ran and came behind the girl. Looking at the girl, the boys said, "One plus one free, brother!" Saying this, the three boys started laughing. The girl also laughed at their words.
"What a brain... well, get lost, or no one will be able to save you!" Saying this, the girl took Saanjh's hand and started to go to the car when a boy grabbed the girl's hand.
As soon as the girl saw the boy, the next moment she kicked him hard in the stomach, sending him straight to the ground.
The three boys attacked the girl one by one. The girl was also hitting them well. Saanjh, standing nearby, saw all this and looked around, picked up a stone, and was about to hit one of them on the head. Before that, a boy held a knife to her throat and said to the girl, "Leave them, or this girl will die right here." As soon as the girl heard this, she immediately stopped hitting. Another boy grabbed both of the girl's hands. One boy looked at Saanjh and said, "We had to finish you anyway," pointing at the girl, "but this poor thing will die for free trying to save you." Saying this, the boy pressed the knife he was holding against Saanjh's neck hard. Saanjh's neck got a slight cut, and blood started to flow. The girl heard Saanjh's faint scream and shouted, "Don't even touch her, or I'll kill you!"
"Brother, she's threatening you!" one boy said to another.
"First, cut her throat!" As the boy said this, the other took the knife and started to move towards the girl. He was about to stab the girl in the stomach when someone's hand came between them. The girl and Saanjh tightly closed their eyes. But when there was no movement for a while, they both opened their eyes. A boy was standing in front of them, holding the knife in his hand. The boy looked at the thug and said, "If she dies, her family will wipe you out!" Saying this, the boy stabbed the other boy in the arm and slammed the second one's head against something. A boy took the knife and was about to stab the other boy when the girl kicked him.
The boy grabbed all three and slammed them into each other! The three boys ran away from there. The girl looked at the boy who was cleaning his hands. The boy glanced at the girl and then at Saanjh, who was standing quietly. Then Saanjh said to the girl, "Thank you. If you weren't here today, I don't know what would have happened!"
The boy grabbed the three of them and threw them at each other. The three boys had run away from there. The girl looked at the boy who was cleaning his hands. The boy glanced at the girl and then at Saanjh, who was standing quietly. Then Saanjh looked at the girl and said, "Thank you. If you hadn't been here today, who knows what would have happened...!"
The boy looked at Saanjh and said, "Whatever happens, happens for the best. If it wasn't us, it would have been someone else...!"
"Someone else...? Like the person who left a girl here alone at night...!" I feel like blowing him up with his own car right here. Anyway, my name is Saanjh Jindal...!" Saanjh said, extending her hand.
As soon as the boy heard this, he shook her hand and said, "Shiv Rana." Saanjh shook hands with Shiv and said, "Rana Industries...?" Shiv nodded his head at Saanjh's question.
Kashi did not like Shiv talking to Saanjh like this at all. He pulled Saanjh's and Shiv's hands away and said, "I am also here." Saying this, Kashi extended his hand to Saanjh and said, "My name is Kashi." Saanjh hugged Kashi and said, "Thank you. If you hadn't been here, who knows what would have really happened...!"
"What are you doing here anyway...?" Shiv said, looking at Saanjh.
Saanjh heard Shiv and said, "I'll tell you everything, but I need your phone first. It feels like my own phone has no network...!"
Kashi made a face and said, "There are no networks in this area...!"
Saanjh looked at both of them and said, "I was going home from the office, and my car broke down."
Shiv heard Saanjh and said, "Oh! Shall I drop you home then...?"
Saanjh heard Shiv and looked at him, and Kashi was staring at her. Saanjh nodded her head and said, "You'll have to do that... My mom must be very worried anyway...!"
"Get in the car. Tell me what happened on the way...!" The three of them got into the car. Kashi and Shiv sat in the front. Saanjh told them everything that had happened to her.
"Oh my goodness! What kind of boy is he, to leave you in trouble...?" Kashi said, looking at Saanjh. "Brother, what would have happened if you had helped a little, but no. Nobody wants to help anyone. The one who cannot help a girl, how will he help his life partner!"
Shiv was thinking about something. Suddenly, something struck him, and he said to Saanjh, looking in the mirror, "By the way, Saanjh, why were these people chasing you...?"
Hearing Shiv's question, Saanjh and Kashi looked at him, and Kashi said, "This is what these goons do; as soon as they see a girl, they latch onto her...!"
Saanjh agreed with Kashi and said, "Yes, Shiv sir, maybe they wanted money... that's all...!"
Hearing Saanjh, Shiv explained back to her, "I know, but didn't you listen to them...? They wanted to harm you...? Why?"
Hearing Shiv's question, Saanjh started thinking, while Kashi pinched Shiv's hand and said, "Are you crazy? She's upset, and you're making her more upset...? Use your brain."
Seeing them arguing, Saanjh smiled and said, "Don't worry, Kashi, I'm fine."
Shiv looked at Saanjh and said, "From your face and your conversation, it seems you are very intelligent...!" "It's just that some people don't have brains and they lecture others. They don't use their small brains where they should, and where they shouldn't, their small brains become big...!"
"Are you two friends...?" Saanjh asked, looking at them both.
Hearing Saanjh's question, Kashi and Shiv looked at each other. Kashi said, "This cannot happen." And at the same time, Shiv said, "Yes, we are friends...!"
Saanjh was confused by their different answers, while Kashi and Shiv looked at each other. Shiv looked at Kashi and said, "Aren't we friends...?"
Kashi glared at Shiv and said, "When did this happen...?" They were arguing with each other. Then Saanjh shouted, "Take a right here...!"
Hearing Saanjh's voice, they both quieted down. Saanjh closed her eyes, and everything became a bit blurry for a moment. She opened her eyes again and said, "Stop here, this is my house...!"
Hearing Saanjh, Shiv stopped the car. He also opened the car lock, and everyone got out. Saanjh hugged Kashi and said, "Thank you, thank you so much...!" Extending her hand to Shiv, "Thank you, Shiv sir, if it weren't for you two, my ticket to heaven would have been booked...!"
Shiv placed his hand on Saanjh's head and said, "You are very good, be brave, don't be scared. Now you are safe, go, or your mom will worry."
Saanjh heard Shiv and turned to leave, then turned back and said, "Why don't you both come inside...?"
As soon as Saanjh spoke, Shiv came near her and said, "I will definitely come, but not today. It's very late today, your family must be worried, right?" Saying this, Shiv looked at Kashi.
As Shiv spoke, Kashi made a face and hit his forehead, saying, "Oh dear... Mom must be looking for me. We'll meet you again...!" "We are very late now, let us know if you need any help...!"
Hearing Kashi and Shiv, Saanjh nodded her head and went inside the house from there.
To be continued...
Sanjh heard Shiv's words and turned to leave. Just then, as she turned back, she said, "Why don't you all come inside too...?"
Shiv came up to her and said, "I will definitely come, but not today. It's very late today, my family will be worried." Saying this, Shiv looked at Kashi.
Kashi scowled and hit herself on the head, saying, "Oh no! Mom must be looking for me. We'll meet you some other time! We're very late now. Let us know if you need any help."
After listening to Kashi and Shiv, Sanjh nodded her head and went inside the house.
Yuvnika and Prachi, sitting in the hall, both looked worried. Prachi looked at Yuvnika and said, "Mom, she said she'd be back in a little while. Shouldn't we tell Dad? Let's go and look for her."
"Now I'm starting to get scared too. We should go, let's see outside," Yuvnika said, getting up from the sofa.
Just then, Sanjh came outside. She couldn't walk. Suddenly, everything appeared hazy, so she immediately held onto a pillar. She placed her hand on her head and went inside.
As Yuvnika and Prachi got up to leave, their eyes fell on Sanjh coming inside. Seeing Sanjh, Yuvnika immediately rushed towards her and cupped her face in her hands. Kissing her forehead, she said, "Where did you go...? Are you okay, Sanjh? We were so worried, dear. Are you alright? Did something happen, child...?"
Yuvnika kept asking questions. Sanjh was still standing with her head bowed. Prachi placed her hand on Yuvnika's shoulder and said, "Mom, let's take her inside. She's fine." Saying this, Prachi took Sanjh's hand, brought her inside, and made her sit on the sofa.
Sanjh looked at both of them and said, "I'm fine, nothing happened. My car broke down. I need to rest a bit. You guys should go to sleep too. Don't worry about me, I'm perfectly fine."
"Come, I'll take you to your room. Get some rest," Prachi said, getting up.
"Did nothing really happen...? Why do you look so worried, Sanjh...? Are you really okay, dear? I don't know why my heart was racing. Why do I feel like you're hiding something...?" Saying this, as Yuvnika's gaze fell on Sanjh's neck, she immediately took Sanjh's hand and made her sit back on the sofa, saying, "How did you get this injury...? You're hiding something, aren't you...? Tell me...?"
"Who is hiding what...?" Hearing this voice, everyone looked towards the door and saw Akshay standing there. Seeing Akshay, everyone stood up from the sofa. Akshay also came inside by then. Sanjh looked at Akshay and ran and hugged him. Prachi and Yuvnika were also watching him, along with Akshay. As soon as she hugged Akshay, tears welled up in Sanjh's eyes. She held Akshay tightly and said, "Papa... Papa..." Saying this, Sanjh started crying again.
Seeing her cry, everyone became worried. Akshay stroked her head and said lovingly, "What happened, dear...? Why are you crying...? Are you alright...?" Akshay took Sanjh's face in his hands and looked at her, saying, "What happened? Why are you crying, child...?" Saying this, as Akshay's gaze fell on the injury on Sanjh's neck, he clenched his fist. He looked at Sanjh and said, "My brave child got scared... Come with me." Saying this, Akshay looked at Prachi and Yuvnika and said, "Go, you two go to sleep. It's very late." Saying this, Akshay took Sanjh and brought her to his room.
Prachi had gone to her room. Yuvnika also followed Akshay to his room. Akshay made Sanjh sit on the bed and then sat down on his knees. He took Sanjh's hand and said, "What happened? Now tell me...?" Sanjh glanced at Akshay and then at Yuvnika. Yuvnika was taking out a first-aid kit from the drawer.
"Nothing happened... I was just missing you, so tears came," Sanjh said, lowering her eyelids.
"You're lying...? If nothing happened, then how did you get this injury...?" Akshay said, placing his hand on Sanjh's.
Yuvnika looked at Sanjh and said, "Bandage his neck. I'm going out." Saying this, Yuvnika left. As soon as she left, Sanjh wiped her eyes and said, "When I was coming, some thugs started following me. That's all, nothing else. That's why I was feeling a bit strange."
"You're a brave child, you don't get scared. But tell me, how did you get injured...?" Akshay said, looking at Sanjh. Sanjh looked at Akshay and said, "They stabbed me with a knife. Otherwise, I'm fine. If Shiv sir and Kashi weren't there, I wouldn't be alive." Saying this, Sanjh looked at Akshay and asked, "Did you feel anything strange...?" As soon as Akshay asked, Sanjh explained everything and said, "They wanted to kill me, Dad." As soon as Akshay heard this, he stood up and hugged Sanjh, saying, "They wouldn't kill you... They wouldn't do anything... Stop being scared. You're not afraid of anyone. What happened suddenly?"
"You're a brave child, aren't you? You don't get scared, but tell me, how did you get hurt?" Akshay asked, looking at Sajh.
"They stabbed me with a knife. I'm otherwise fine. If Shiv Sir and Kashi hadn't been there, I wouldn't have been alive!" Sajh said, looking at Akshay after speaking.
"Did you find anything strange?" As Akshay asked, Sajh poured out everything and said, "They wanted to kill me, Dad!"
As soon as Akshay heard this, he stood up, hugged Sajh, and said, "They wouldn't have killed you... wouldn't have done anything... Stop being scared. You aren't afraid of anyone, are you? What happened suddenly? Everything is here, Mom and Dad, everything is here." After speaking, Akshay bandaged Sajh's neck and said, placing a hand on her cheek, "Don't be scared, child. If you get scared, people will continue to scare you more, so get rid of this fear. Anyway, calm down. Mom will get worried if she finds out and will be upset, so calm down and have dinner with me."
"Don't ever keep me away from you, Dad, you are the best dad..." Sajh said, hugging Akshay.
Hearing Sajh, Akshay kissed her forehead and said, "It's fine with me, but if your mother had heard that now, we both wouldn't be in the house. She would have kicked us out tonight!"
"Go talk to her. Until then, I'll go change."
Sajh heard Akshay's words, nodded her head, and came out of the room. As soon as she saw Yuvanika, she approached Yuvanika and said, "Mamma, I'm very hungry. Serve the food, Dad will be here in a little while too."
Yuvanika placed her hand on Sajh's cheek and said, "Come, I'll feed you with my own hands." Saying this, they both went downstairs.
Yuvanika was setting the table, and Sajh was standing by the dining table, eating an apple. Akshay, who was standing behind her, took the apple from her hand and said, "Eat your food, sit down. This won't fill your stomach, sit down..."
Akshay said as Sajh sat down.
Sajh looked at Akshay and sat down to eat. Yuvanika served food to both of them, fed them, and then came to her room. Sajh also came to the room and slept. When Yuvanika entered the room, she saw Akshay working on his laptop. Yuvanika looked at him and then at the scattered things on the bed, which included books, newspapers, pens, glasses, and other items.
"Akshay, what is this? Look, so much stuff! Even small children don't spread their beds like this!"
Akshay glanced at Yuvanika and then back at his laptop, saying, "Do I look old to you?"
As Akshay said this, Yuvanika folded her arms and picked up papers from the bed, folded them, and gave them to Akshay, saying, "You are very bad, and not just bad, but very, very old! Now tell me!"
Dodging Yuvanika's playful scolding, Akshay quickly closed his laptop and got up from the bed. He was dodging her all over the place. He caught Yuvanika's hand and made her sit on the sofa.
"You'll get tired, Mom, please sit down..." Akshay said, picking up a glass of water and placing it in front of Yuvanika, then sitting next to her.
"She's fine, just a little worried." Without Yuvanika speaking, Akshay had already conveyed Sajh's situation.
"About her injury..." Yuvanika trailed off, and Akshay placed his hand on hers and said, "It's the same reason you're thinking. We'll have to be a little careful from now on. From today, you three will not go out alone." The way Akshay said it, it was evident how seriously he was speaking.
"But how long will we be able to escape them? Well, whatever you think is best, just make sure the girls are not in any danger. Today Sajh came home safely, but who knows what will happen next!"
Akshay looked at her and said, "Don't worry. No matter how many tests life throws at us, a good time will definitely come one day. I know I may never get back what I've lost, but I'm still happy that you all are in my life. My two daughters are my life, and you are the support that held me up when I was broken."
"Hmmm... when two broken and battered people come together and share their joys and sorrows, there is no greater friend or companion in the world than them. Because there's no fear that they will blame me or think something after hearing about my life. Besides, not just me, but you also supported me at that time, gave me a new life. I don't know why our own people betray us. We can recover from the betrayal of others once, but when someone close betrays you, that moment never leaves your heart and mind!" Saying this, Yuvanika suddenly fell silent.
Akshay looked at Yuvanika and said, "Go to sleep. You wake up early in the morning, don't you? You must be sleepy." As Akshay spoke, Yuvi got up and went to sleep. Akshay also came to his bed and slept.
Meanwhile, Yuvan was lying on his bed, tossing and turning. Sleep still wasn't in his eyes. He looked near his bed where there was a photo of Yuvan, Vedansh, Piyalini, and another girl. Looking at that photo, Yuvan turned his face away, closed his eyes again, and started speaking to himself in his mind, "Why did you leave, Yuva? How do the nights pass without you, I know..."
Yuvan was tossing and turning on his bed. Sleep was nowhere to be found in his eyes. He looked at a photograph placed near his bed. In that photo, there was Yuvan, Vedansh, Piyalini, and another girl. As soon as he saw the photo, Yuvan turned his face away and closed his eyes. He started speaking to himself, "Why did you leave, Yuva? I know how each night passes without you. I treated you very badly, but I truly loved you." "Why couldn't you understand? And why couldn't I understand you? I said too much in anger. That doesn't mean... I wish you hadn't left that day, perhaps we would be together today. Our children, our life, the most beautiful moment of our life, we lost it, Yuva... the most beautiful moment!" While thinking this, tears started flowing from Yuvan's eyes. He didn't even realize it. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, wiped his tears, and closed them again.
Morning had arrived. Everyone was busy with their respective tasks. Savitri Ji was serving breakfast to everyone. She looked around and called out to everyone, "Everyone, come and have breakfast quickly, or it will get cold!" After saying this, she looked ahead and saw Yuvan looking very good in a black suit. He hadn't changed at all. What had changed was only the smile on his face, which was now gone. Yuvan had become very strict about time. The timing for all his activities was fixed. Today too, he was the first to arrive and sit for breakfast.
At Jindal Bhavan, everyone finished breakfast and got up. Prachi, Akshay, and Saanjh were all ready to go to the office. Prachi looked at Akshay and said, "Dad, the CEO you mentioned was coming, he still hasn't arrived, why?"
Hearing Prachi, Akshay replied, "Yes, I had spoken to him. He will come tomorrow. He had some work, so he couldn't come today and tomorrow. The rest of you, let's go, there's a lot of pending work."
Seeing the three leaving, Yuvanika, coming down the stairs, looked at everyone and said, "From today, we are also going, so take us along, don't you forget us?" Yuvanika said this, looking at the three like children.
Akshay looked at Yuvanika. She was wearing a business suit. She looked very good in it today too. She had braided her hair and was holding her coat in her hand. Akshay walked up to Yuvanika, held her hand, and said, "Oh! How can anyone forget you! No, Yuvy, let's go now." Saying this, the four of them left for the office together.
Yuvan was also ready for the office. He looked at the time on his watch and getting up from the table, said, "I will wait for him in the car outside for only two minutes. If he doesn't come, tell him he doesn't need to come to the office today." As Yuvan was about to go outside, Piyani's voice reached his ears, "You are forgetting me too, Papa. You will drop me at college, right?" Piyani said this to Yuvan as she came downstairs, ready.
"Oh, sorry! I forgot. Come quickly, or you'll be late too, and so will I." Saying this, Yuvan started heading out quickly. Piyani glanced up and said to herself, "Where are you, brother... please come soon!" Saying this, Piyani slowly started walking outside.
As Yuvan was leaving, Savitri Ji called out to him, "Yuvan..." Hearing Savitri Ji's voice, Yuvan stopped. He looked at Savitri Ji and said, "Yes, Mother, tell me." As Yuvan spoke, Savitri Ji looked at him and said, "Go to the airport." As Savitri Ji spoke, Piyani looked at her and said, "Mamma, I want to go too, please, please..." Piyani said this, coming in front of Yuvan. Yuvan placed his hand on Piyani's head and said, "I have an important meeting, so you and Vedansh can go, I won't be able to." Saying this, Yuvan went outside. As Yuvan left, Savitri Ji looked at Devki Ji and sat on the chair. Piyani had also followed Yuvan. Yuvan, sitting in the car, was waiting for both of them. He honked the car, and then Vedansh sat next to him. Yuvan looked behind, and Piyani was also seated. Seeing both of them, and turning the car towards Piyani's college, Yuvan drove off.
Akshay stopped the car in front of the office, and all four of them got out. Each of them had a different expression on their face. Saanjh looked at everyone and walked away from there.
"Oh! This is her daily routine. Whenever she comes to the office, she definitely does this." Prachi said, looking at Akshay and Yuvanika. "She loves those poor children very much. They wait for her arrival at this time every day. And Saanjh also gets the most happiness by meeting them." Akshay said, looking at Prachi and Yuvanika. "Hmm, anyway, why are we getting late, we should go. She will come in a little while." Saying this, Prachi quickly moved ahead. Akshay and Yuvanika followed her. Saanjh had returned to the road behind the office. This side had a lot of vehicular traffic, but on this side, there were no shops, no houses, nothing. A completely deserted road where a small bridge was built. Saanjh looked around and came to a nearby shop.
Prachi quickly said, "Hmm, well, why are we getting late, we should go. She will come after some time." Akshay and Yuvnika also started walking behind her. Sanj had come back to the street behind the office. Mostly, cars used to come and go this way, but there was no shop, no house, nothing. A completely deserted road where a small bridge was built.
Sanj looked around and came to a shop nearby. The shopkeeper smiled and said, "How are you, girl?"
Sanj gave the shopkeeper money and said, "We are fine, uncle, but the kids are nowhere to be seen. Have you seen them?"
After hearing Sanj's question, the shopkeeper thought for a moment and then said, "Yes, I have seen them. Just a while ago, they were standing towards that bridge. A gentleman came and took them to give them something."
Sanj thanked the shopkeeper and went towards the bridge, muttering to herself, "Who gave it to them before me? And it's okay, but who is the newcomer that... well..." Sanj saw ahead and saw the children standing on one side, eating chocolates and some things. Sanj smiled and came to them and shouted loudly from behind, "Children!"
The children looked back and as soon as they saw Sanj, they hugged her. Then one boy said, "What did you bring for us today, didi? You know, a brother came and gave us all this. The brother gave us good stuff, but he looked angry!"
Sanj laughed and said, "Oh, monkey! Don't talk like that about anyone. Well, take all this and go study. What are you doing? Where is your Shital didi? Didn't she come?"
On Sanj's question, the children hit their heads and said, "We all forgot! When the brother brought us here, we forgot. We are going, didi, we'll meet you in the evening." The children said this and ran away from there. Sanj bid them farewell and stood there. Due to the morning time, the sun was rising slightly, and its rays were falling directly on Sanj's face. The weather was also very good. Sanj looked at the bridge and stood near it. She looked down and saw grass and big trees below, and a lot of depth. Sanj put one foot on the boundary, then the other. She had spread her hands in the air.
Suddenly, someone pulled her hand from behind and said, "Sanj, are you crazy? Suicide is not the solution to everything!"
The boy's sudden pull made Sanj very close to him. As soon as Sanj saw the boy, all the events of the previous night came to her mind. Sanj looked at the boy and said, "You... and what did you just say? Say it again."
The boy looked at Sanj and said, "Ah, you... you are a big trouble! First, those goons, and now this suicide. You see, dying is not the solution to everything. Life is very beautiful, live it."
Sanj looked at the boy and said, "You just shut up. Did you come after drinking? And how much you talk! When did you start talking? I wasn't going to commit suicide. What do you think I would commit suicide? Use as much brain as you have. When there was a need for help, you ran away, and now when there's no need for help, why did you come? I don't like boys like you, understand? So, don't come in front of me from now on."
Sanj had just said that much when the boy put his hand on her mouth and turned her towards himself and said, "You were just telling me that I talk too much... but have you ever seen yourself? WiFi..." The boy came close to Sanj's ear and said that and left her.
As soon as Sanj heard "WiFi" from his mouth, she showed him her finger and wanted to say something, but then the boy pulled Sanj's hand down and said, "There's no need to show your finger. I won't die seeing you... so don't come in front of me from now on."
As the boy was about to go, Sanj smiled and put her foot on his foot, causing the boy to fall down. Sanj looked at the boy and started laughing. On hearing Sanj's laughter, the boy started looking at her. Sanj looked very cute while laughing. The boy looked at Sanj and said, "Oh, hello! Help me now." The boy said this and held out his hand to Sanj.
Sanj looked around and made a face, and as soon as she gave her hand, the boy caught Sanj's hand and pulled her towards himself. This time Sanj had fallen down, and the boy had stood up in a jiffy. Sanj looked at the boy and said, "You cheated."
As soon as Sanj said that, a smile appeared on the boy's face. He looked at Sanj and said...

No response from Groq.
Mr. Kapoor was being awaited. “Shubham has an unexpected urgent matter! He won’t be able to go to the airport. Please send someone to pick him up. If the car doesn’t arrive on time, he’ll get angry and our deal will be cancelled. Please…” Prachi said.
Yuvnika looked at Prachi and said, “We’ll send someone.”
Prachi said, “You go pick him up yourself, otherwise you go yourself in the evening. Please talk to Saanjh and arrange to leave quickly.” Saying this, Prachi left.
Yuvnika looked at the time, took out her phone, and called Saanjh. “Beta, come to my cabin.”
After a while, Saanjh came into Yuvnika’s cabin and said, sitting on the chair, “What happened, Mama? Why did you call me so early?”
Yuvnika said, “Yes dear, Shubham has an unexpected urgent matter, so he can’t go. Will you go pick him up from the airport?”
Saanjh nodded, “Yes Mama, we don’t have any problem. We’ll pick him up.” Saying this, Saanjh left. She went to her cabin, took her phone and purse, and left.
The flight had arrived at Mumbai Airport. A beautiful girl in a business suit, with shoulder-length hair, carrying a suitcase and a purse, was standing there. Just then, a black car arrived and stopped. The girl saw the car and went towards it. Before she could say anything, Vedansh and Piyani got out of the car. The girl hugged Piyani, then hugging Vedansh, she said, “How are you both? You both completely forgot me in a month. Can anyone forget their mother?” This was Preet. She looked at both of them lovingly.
Vedansh placed his hand on Preet’s shoulder, “Mom, how can we forget you?”
Piyani also hugged Preet and said, “That can never happen, Mummy, we used to miss you every day.”
Preet placed her hand on Piyani’s face, “I know, you both used to miss us, but we have to check on the rest of the family at home. Let’s go quickly.”
As Preet was about to pick up her bag, Vedansh picked it up for her and said, “You sit, Mom, I’ll keep it.” Vedansh put the bag in and started the car.
Saanjh had already left to go to the airport. She looked at her phone and called someone.
“Nehal, where are you?” Saanjh shouted at Nehal as soon as she picked up the phone.
Nehal moved the phone away from her ear, “Oh my god, calm down! Speak slowly. And yes, Miss Nehal Desai is still in this world, so don’t worry, my dear.” Nehal started laughing.
Saanjh said, “Idiot, where are you? You’re not even coming to the office, and you’re saying this! You haven’t even been picking up my phone since yesterday!”
Nehal’s beaming face suddenly became sad. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she composed herself, “I… was a bit busy. That’s all.”
Saanjh applied the brakes, “Has something happened? Are you crying?”
Nehal controlled herself and smiled, “Oh, nothing, why would I cry? You’re overthinking too!”
Saanjh said, “Then why are your eyes moist? Come on, tell me what happened?”
Nehal said, “Nothing has happened. Don’t worry, and drive carefully. I’ll come tomorrow, then we can sit and talk.”
Saanjh said okay and hung up the phone. Various thoughts about Nehal were running through her mind. She started the car and headed towards the airport.
Saanjh was on her way to the airport. At the same time, Vedansh, Preet, and Piyani were also coming in their car. Vedansh saw an old lady crossing the road. A truck was seen coming from the other side. Vedansh pulled the car aside. Just then, Saanjh’s car came from the front and both cars collided. The collision was minor, but both cars stopped. Saanjh applied the brakes and got out of the car. She had also seen the old lady. Both cars had collided while trying to save her.
Saanjh got out of the car. Vedansh also got out of his car. He saw that Saanjh’s head might have hit the steering wheel; she had a slight scratch on her head. Saanjh looked at Vedansh and said, “You learn to drive first! You’ll cause an accident for someone else while trying to save someone.” Saying this, Saanjh went towards the old lady. The truck had also gone.
To be continued…
Saanjh got out of the car. Vedansh also got out of his car. He saw that Saanjh’s head might have hit the car’s steering wheel, causing a minor scratch on her head. Saanjh looked at Vedansh and said, "You learn to drive first. In the process of saving someone, you’ll cause an accident for someone else." Saanjh quickly looked at Vedansh and said this, then walked towards the old lady. That truck had also left! Saanjh helped them cross the road and returned to Vedansh, saying, "Tell me, if you don’t know how to drive, why are three people going together? I don’t know what kind of people are out there."
Vedansh was staring at Saanjh. Saanjh was speaking so rapidly that Vedansh wasn’t paying attention to her words. His attention was solely on her injury. Vedansh took out a handkerchief from his pocket and, handing it to Saanjh, said, "First, clean this wound, then argue with me." Saying this, Vedansh smiled.
Before Saanjh could take the handkerchief, Vedansh reached out and wiped the blood from Saanjh’s face. Saanjh glared at him, removed his hand, and said, "You are such a rude person! You’re touching me!"
Piyani and Preet had gotten out of the car. Preet heard Saanjh’s words and, looking at Saanjh, said, "Child, it was an accident. If you know how to drive, why are you blaming others? It was your fault too. If the old lady hadn’t come from the front, this wouldn’t have happened. Before scolding someone, see the situation first." Saanjh did not like Preet speaking to her like this at all. Preet looked at Saanjh and said calmly, "Anyone can make a mistake, you can too. So, drive a little carefully, child!"
"Vedansh, come on, son, we’ll be late." Hearing the word "late," Saanjh remembered that she also had to go to the airport. She pointed at Vedansh and said, "We’ll deal with you later." Saying this, Saanjh drove away in her car. Vedansh felt a sense of familiarity with Saanjh. He had seen Saanjh at the temple that day, but he didn’t remember her face like this. Saanjh seemed familiar, but he couldn’t recall. She was in a very different look at the temple. Today, she was wearing a business suit.
A little later, Saanjh arrived at the airport. She parked the car at the airport and got out, only to see a boy coming towards her. Just seeing the boy made Saanjh’s face contort. Seeing the boy, she said, "Oh my god! Mom! Oh my god! I had to pick him up! Oh god! He’s back again! How much can you handle...! How much can Saanjh handle him? Oh my god! Prachi Di! Prachi Di! You should have told me earlier that the person I’ve come to pick up is Yuvraj Kapoor! God! Last time I made him run away! If he recognizes me, if he takes my name in front of Mom and Dad, then please...!"
Yuvraj Kapoor came towards her and, looking at her, said, "Excuse me, Miss Saanjh Jindal!" As soon as Saanjh heard her name, she turned and looked at Yuvraj and said, "You recognize me, Mr. Kapoor!" A smile appeared on Yuvraj’s face. He looked at Saanjh and said, "Absolutely, how could I forget you?" As soon as Saanjh heard Yuvraj, she forced a smile and said, "Yes, absolutely, you did something that is hard to forget." Saying this, Saanjh laughed.
Saanjh looked at Yuvraj and said, "You see, I fell yesterday, so I have a sprain in my back. Could you put this luggage in the car?" Saanjh said this with great innocence. Yuvraj looked at her and said, "Oh, absolutely! With me here, you’ll pick it up? I won’t like that at all." Saying this, Yuvraj picked up his luggage and sat in the car. Saanjh saw that Yuvraj was sitting in the front seat. Saanjh couldn’t even say anything. How could she say anything? If there was a driver, she could have said something, but he had come to pick her up himself. She still gathered her courage and said, "Why don’t you sit in the back now, it would be more comfortable."
Hearing Saanjh, Yuvraj looked at her and said, "Why? Are you my driver?" "No," Yuvraj’s response seemed very strange to Saanjh.
"No… I am not your driver. But I thought you wouldn’t be able to sit so comfortably, so I asked you to sit in the back." Saanjh said this very calmly, looking at Yuvraj. After saying this, she came and sat in the front. She felt like he was becoming uncomfortable, but she had genuinely asked Yuvraj to sit in the back so that he wouldn't be troubled.
Saanjh turned her car towards the company. As she was driving comfortably, Yuvraj was bothering her. Looking at Yuvraj, she said, "Do you really do so much mischief, or do you just bother me a little when you see me?" As soon as Saanjh heard Yuvraj’s words, she slowly smiled and thought to herself, "I feel like throwing him out of the window right here! He talks so much! He’s irritating me." And then, after thinking this, she looked back at Yuvraj and said, "No, it’s not like that. You see…"
