It was again a very pleasant morning for everyone but except for Inaayat because she and pleasant can't be in a same line. When early morning she woke up, no one was in the haveli, so as usual she did all of the chores and when it was about the time for everyone's waking up she started preparing breakfast until the maids join her.
All the members of the Thakur family came downstairs and started having their breakfast together at the dining table. Suddenly Thakurain's phone rang and she received it. She started talking with the person on the other side of the line and the more she was talking the more her smile got wider. "Hello." she greeted the person on the other side with a small smile. "Hello maa." someone's reply came from the other side of the call. She gave the members present there a knowing look and again spoke. (Translation: Hello mother.) "Kaisa hai tu?" was the first thing she asked because only she could understand the pain of a mother who's only son is living far away in a foreign country. (Translation: How are you?) "Mai theek hoon maa aap kaisi ho?" a manly voice asked with so much affection in his voice. (Translation: I'm fine mother, how are you?) "Tere bina kaise thik reh sakti hoon mai?" she asked him back while getting emotional. Her voice shaking a little. (Translation: How will I be fine without you?) "Arre maa aap baar baar aise roya mat karo. Mai yahan kaam ke liye aaya hoon aur saara kaam accha chal raha hai." the man made his mother understand. (Translation: Oh mom, don't you cry again and again like this. I came here for work and everything is going smoothly here.) "Lekin teri bohot yaad aati hai beta. Paanch saal ho gaye hain tujhe wahan gaye hue, tu to jaise hume bhool hi gaya hai." his mother said as usual like a typical Indian mother doing melodrama to get their point across. (Translation: But I miss you a lot, son. It's been five years since you went there, it's like you have forgotten us.) Meanwhile, Urvashi who was hearing the conversation silently understood that it's her brother's call so she immediately stood up and bent down to where her mother was sitting to take the mobile from her hands but she slapped her hand away softly and glared at her. Urvashi mouthed "Mujhe bhi baat karni hai bhaiya se." (Translation: I also want to talk to bro.) Her mother shook her head in denial and then mouthed back "Abhi nahi, abhi mai baat kar rahi hoon." (Translation: Not now, I'm still talking to him.) "Arre maa aisa nahi hai kuch bhi. Mai aap logon ko kaise bhool sakta hoon?" the man said trying to convince her. (Translation: Oh mom, it's nothing like that. How can I forget you people?) "Aisa nahi hai to ye bata kab aa raha hai wapis? Bohot waqt ho gaya hai tujhe dekhe hue." her mother said and sobbed lowly. He shook his head at the other side of the call. (Translation: If it's not like that then tell me when are you coming back? It's been a long time since I've seen you.) "Arre maa aise udaas to mat ho. Mai jaldi hi aa jaunga aap sab se milne." he said consoling her. (Translation: Oh, mom don't be sad like this. I will come soon to meet you all.) "Nahi milne nahi. Tu aayega aur kam se kam do teen mahine yaha rukega bas mai aur kuch nahi sunna chahti." his mother said stubbornly this time. (Translation: No, not to meet. You will come and stay here at least for two- three months, I don't want to hear anything.) "Maa do teen mahine? Yaha par sab kuch kaun sambhalega phir?" he asked her in utter shock. (Translation: Two-three months mom? Then who will look after work here?) "Koi bhi sambhal lega mujhe nahi pata aur tujhe zaroorat ki kya thi itni dur pardes mein jake business karne ki? Yaha kya jagah kam pad gayi thi? Beta hum par bohot paisa hai koi zaroorat nahi hai tujhe wo business karne ki." she said without giving him any chance to argue. (Translation: I don't know who will take care of it and why did you need to go to such far away places to do business? Was there a shortage of space here? Son, we have a lot of money, you don't need to do that business.) He was stunned hearing her and didn't know how he could make her understand that it was never about the money, it was his passion. Since his teenage, he wanted to become a successful business and after many ups and downs he was there and now she is telling him to quit all that and come back to his native land. "Maa aisa nahi hota hai. Ye kaam hai mera ise chhod ke mai kahi nahi jaa sakta. Mere paanch saalon ki mehnat hai ye." he said in a little offended tone. (Translation: Mom, it doesn't work like this. This is my work, I cannot leave it and go anywhere.) "Accha theek hai. Mat kar band, abhi ke liye kisi aur ko sambhalne ke liye de aur yaha aa jaa. Pacchees ka ho gaya hai beta tu, teri shaadi bhi to karwani hai." she said and heard him sighing from the other side. (Translation: Okay, fine then. Don't stop, let someone else take care of it for now and come here. Son, you are twenty-five years old, you have to get married too.) "Maa maine kitni baar bola hai abhi mai ye shaadi wagera ke liye taiyyar nahi hoon." he said straightly turning down her offer. (Translation: Mom how many times I have to tell you? I'm still not ready for this marriage and all.) "Isme taiyyari kaisi? Ek baar shaadi ho jayegi to apne aap hi tu zimmedar ho jayega. Wo ladki bohot sundar aur sanskari hai beta, acche ghar se hai aur accha dahej layegi." his mother said trying to lure him but he was not ready still. (Translation: What preparation is needed in this? Once you get married, you will get responsible at your own. That girl is very beautiful and cultured, son. She is from a good family and will bring a good dowry.) "Maa aap ne mere liye ladki bhi dekh li? Aap ka kuch nahi ho sakta. Mai abhi wapis nahi aa raha hoon." he declared firmly not realizing what's waiting for him next. (Translation: Mom, you selected the girl for me already? You are impossible. I'm not coming back yet.) Suddenly he heard sobbing sounds which were a little loud from the last time. He sighed that his mother will do emotional drama when he will not listen her and she exactly did that. She started emotional blackmailing him. "Theek hai mat aa tu! Reh wahin videsh mein. Ek din teri maa mar jayegi na tab tujhe pata chalega ki kitna tarasti thi tujhse milne ko." she said sobbing more loudly. While all the members present at the table were silently looking at her knowing her acting skills very well. (Translation: It's okay, you stay there in a foreign country. One day your mother will die, then you will know how much she longed to meet you.) "Arre yaar, maa. Aap bhi naa kuch bhi bolti ho, aap kahan se kahan pohoch gayin." he stated with slight annoyance in his voice but in response only got her sobbing voice. (Translation: Oh God, mom. You say anything, you jumped on which topic from which one.) "Accha theek hai rona band karo. Mai yaha ka saara kaam nipta ke agle hafte tak aa jaunga, India. Ab to khush ho?" he said giving up because for him his family and relations comes first and immediately a wide smile came upon his mother's lips. (Translation: Okay, stop crying. I will finish all my work here and come back to India by next week. Are you happy now?) "Sach bol! Kha meri kasam agle hafte aayega tu. Bol na jaldi." she asked him excitedly and he was stunned for a moment. (Translation: Tell me the truth! Swear on me, you will come next week. Tell me quickly.) "Maa abhi to aap ro rahin thi?" he asked suspiciously but she was too much happy to think rationally at that moment. (Translation: Mom weren't you crying a while ago?) "Arre tu wo sab chhod aur kha meri kasam ki tu aayega agle hafte." she said sticking to her words. (Translation: Hey, you leave all that and swear on me that you will come next week.) "Haan haan, maa aap ki kasam. Chalo ab mai chalta hoon kuch kaam hai mujhe." he said hastily and some voices could be heard behind him. (Translation: Yeah, yeah mom I swear on you. Let me go now, I have some work to do.) "Chal theek hai beta apna khayal rakhna. Bye." saying that she hung up the call with a widest smile ever at her lips but stopped when she saw Urvashi's face. (Translation: Okay, fine son, take care of yourself. Bye.) Her mouth was hung open and eyes wide. She couldn't believe how her mother did a little melodrama and convinced her brother to come back. "Maa, aap to bohot badi actor nikli." she exclaimed with a stunned expression but her mother shot her a glare. (Translation: Mom, you turned out to be a great actor.) "Chal ab baatein kam bana aur jaldi se taiyyari shuru kar de apne bhai ki swagat ki." she said to Urvashi and stood up from her place leaving the breakfast behind in excitement while the Thakur, Dadi and Urvashi continued to have their breakfast. (Translation: Now cut the conversation and quickly start preparing to welcome your brother.)The whole haveli was in chaos now everyone was running here and there leaving a confused Inaayat behind. She didn't know what was happening because no one bothered to tell her but she was happy that the chaos were not for her. She woke up early and did her with without any clumsiness. Her curious gaze was looking at everyone but what she wanted to know was why everyone is looking so happy. As she standing in a corner and observing everyone, Thakurain approached her. She immediately cascaded her eyes down in fear."Aye ladki, ab sab ko kya aise dekhti hi rahegi? Bohot kaam pada hai haveli mein. Jaa ke chote Thakur ka kamra saaf kar." she ordered her while a little confusion appeared at Inaayat's face. (Translation: Hey girl, will you keep looking at everyone like this? There is a lot of work to be done in the mansion. Go and clean Chote Thakur's room.)Because as far as she knew chote Thakur's room was closed for years because he went somewhere suddenly and then no one entered his ro
Urvashi brought Dadi to the living room because she was free after her college, so the Thakurain asked her to spend sometime with Dadi who used to sit alone in her room whole day. Dadi was looking at every servant who was working in the living room or entering inside the haveli. While Urvashi was busy using her phone. As sometimes passed Thakur Abhinendra Singh entered inside the haveli and saw Dadi and Urvashi in the hall. He didn't give any glance to Urvashi but touched Dadi's feet out of respect. Urvashi gave him a single glance and again went back to scrolling in her phone again. "Jeete raho beta, sada sukhi raho aur khoob tarakki karo." Dadi gave him her blessings and he sat on the couch adjacent to her. (Translation: May you live long, son, always be happy, and progress well.) His legs spread on the couch like a king, as if he owns the place. No matter what's the place or time he never forgets to show his arrogance and authority. "Bade Thakur kahan hai?" he asked Da
As soon as the men who were sitting on the couches saw his hard face they recognized him and stood up from their places immediately. His carribean blue piercing eyes staring in their souls while his sharp jawline added more to his Greek God beauty. His stoic and cold expressions not leaving any chance of enhancing his features. His messy hair sleeked back into perfect while the slight dimple at his cheek was making his look more intimidating. His subtle beard and chiseled chest were not any lesser in enhancing his dark aura. He stood in front of them silently which made them to die already under his heated gaze. "Cá bhfuil na drugaí?" he asked in his thick and dark voice which made a shiver to ran down everyone's spine present there. (Translation: Where are the drugs?) After hearing him mentioning of the same drug that the man who was currently dead, inhaling made them tremble in fear and no one dared to answer his question. But little did they knew, he was very short of pati
Flashback Many footsteps were echoing in the silent and abandoned alleyway. Heavy footsteps were running towards a certain direction but soon divided into different ways like trying to find someone. Soon some men came into the vision because of the street light after emerging from the dark alleyway. An heavily injured man came running from the shadows and hide behind the huge garbage box in the alley. His breathing was shallow and short, his arms and chest had deep cuts and were bleeding so hard. He hissed and took the phone out of his pants pocket which was broken by now. But he decided to try his luck. He turned his broken phone on and dialed one of his men number and after a single ring it got received. Some shuffling voices came from the other side and then a clear manly voice came. "Dia duit Boss? Boss an bhfuil tú ann?" his man's panicked voice came earning a groan from him. (Translation: Hello boss? Boss are you there?) "Tá mé sa alleyway." he whispered in his pa
Rajasthan, India. Finally the day came when Arjun and Ryker were about to come India. Each and every servant in the haveli was busy doing the preparations of their welcome. Arjun had informed Sudha about Ryker arrival which made the Thakur family double excited of meeting a foreigner who was a friend of Arjun and meeting Arjun too after whole five years. Many traditional Indian dishes were being prepared for Arjun and his friend whom they don't know anything about yet. Sudha was yelling and scolding everyone every now and then not giving any chance to do mistakes. Dadi and Urvashi were already being ready to look presentable in front of Arjun's new friend. While Bade Thakur was waiting for his son's arrival soon. Coming to Inaayat the poor girl was assigned to clean the guest room for the new guest of the Thakur family and the friend of Arjun. Guess room was also locked from a long time because they recently didn't have any guest who stayed back so she had to start everything fr
Finally, after a long and tiring flight Arjun and Ryker landed at the Jaipur international airport. Ryker didn't want to come here at all but Arjun being Arjun convinced him somehow and now they both were in India together. Arjun's smile was not, faltering at all and Ryker was in dilemma that how come his cheeks were not hurting by now. Arjun was not the type to be mischievous person but with Ryker his that side automatically comes out because he considers Ryker as his elder brother and he doesn't leaves any chance to get pampered by Ryker which he doesn't do willingly at all but have to after seeing Arjun's clingy and baby side. "Stop smiling like a fool now or I am leaving." Ryker said pinching the bridge of his nose not believing himself he finally came India just for Arjun's happiness. "I can't believe you came with me." Arjun said with a happy glint in his brown eyes. "Correction you did a lot of emotional drama shit witg lot of convincing me and literally forced me t
It was bright afternoon by now. Scorching sun shine peeking through the windows of the room which made the sleeping man wide awake. Feeling heat entering inside his room the man stood up and closed the curtains harshly before walking inside the bathroom. After freshening up and taking a shower he came out of the bathroom. He took his suitcase which was lying in the corner of the room and placed it on the bed. He wore one of his three piece suit from it not trying to be cozy in his friend's home at all. He perfectly styled his hair back looking handsome as ever. His sharp carribean blue eyes took a look over the room which looked homely but not to him. Then he took out his laptop and sat on the couch in front of the bed. He started doing his work and meetings with his men working in Ireland in his absence. He took every single detail of the things happening there behind his back. Suddenly there was a knock at the door which gained his attention. He stood up from the couch and went to
It was evening and everyone was in the living room sitting and chatting except Ryker who was working in his room. Urvashi's gaze were wandering to the stairs again and again trying to get Ryker's glimpse but didn't get one. She was biting her lips anxiously because she wanted to catch his attention as soon as possible. She didn't want a handsome man like him to get out of her hold. As Arjun was laughing with with Dadi and Thakurain his gaze went to Urvashi and he noticed her looking at the stairs. He grinned and scooted a little closer and whispered in her ear. "Kisi ko dhoond rahi ho?" He asked playfully immediately catching her off guard. (Translation: Are you looking for someone?) "Kya? N-nahi to." Urvashi stammered out feeling nervous and immediately denied with his words. (Translation: What? N-no.)"Jo tum soch rahi ho use bhool jao kyu ki wo tumhare liye nahi bana hai." Arjun said with little seriousness because he was concerned for his sister knowing how Ryker was. (Trans
But before she could Ryker wrapped his arm around her waist protectively and pulled her at his chest. She was too shocked to speak while she was amused looking at her confused expressions because he tricked her by opening and closing the gate, so she thought that he left and came out of the bathroom. "A-Aap to----" she was about to say but before she could he spoke. (Translation: Y-You-----) "Haan maine aap ke saath thodi si chalaki ki jisse aap bahar aa gayin aur ab aap mujhe bataiye ki aap mujhse kya chhupa rahin hain?" He questioned her while helping her in standing properly at her feet. (Translation: Yes, I tricked you a little and you came out and now you tell me what you hiding from me?) Inaayat was speechless not knowing how she got tricked by him. She didn't know what to answer him now and she can't even go away from there. Her face paled and forehead started sweating due to fear which Ryker noticed so well. He could clearly see the terror written on her face. He rai
Dublin, Ireland. It was raining heavily and due to the extreme pouring of water the atmosphere was completely blurry and adding to it the dark sky at night was turning in its darker shade if possible. Thunderstorm was scaring the population around the city to the extent that the people have locked themselves in their homes and safe places but not everyone has a home or safe place to hide. Some people still have homes that lack love, care and proper attention. Just like somewhere in that city there was a house which looked so badly maintained and old like the people living there don't even care about it. The windows of the house were broken, all the plants were dead and due to heavy rainfall the plaster of the roof was also coming out. Inside the house there was a couple shivering with extreme cold yet not bothering to do anything about it. They were laying on the couch or more like hanging down from it due to being intoxicated on drugs. Syringes, packets and some cards were layi
"Aa--aahh..." She tried to scream but he put the same hand behind her head at her mouth muffling her voice. After he bit there he started sucking the bite mark harshly like trying to mark his territory. The sucking was making it more painful for her but he cared less and continued her torment on her. He was sucking at her neck like a vampire sucking blood out of her. She felt as if she would pass out there only due to pain and fear while her heart was still screaming for Ryker there . His phone rang again and this time it was enough to detach him away from her. He pushed her away in annoyance and received the call while taking the phone out from his pants pocket. He took it to his ear with a not so pleasant expression on his face. He heard the person on the other side saying something to him which made a scowl appear on his face. "Zyada bhashan dene ki zaroorat nahi hai mujhe. Main kya karun agar tunhara beta ghar pe hai to? Ye ladki to meri hai aur mujhe ye jald se jald chahiye.
"Inu tumhe jana hai uske paas?" He questioned her directly making her feel nervous and she immediately moved her gaze down at her lap. (Translation: Inu do you want to go to him?) "Dekho Inu tumhe mujhse kuch bhi chhupane ki zaroorat nahi hai. Tum chahti ho usse baat karna?" He asked her about her curious nature and she also gently nodded her head in approval. (Translation: Look Inu, you don't need to hide anything from me. Do you want to talk to him?) "To fir uske liye tumhe bohot padhayi karni hogi aur uski bhasha seekhni hogi. Fir tum bhi usse baat kar paogi jaise hum karte hain." He explained to her which gained her full attention because she remembered they talk in different languages which she doesn't know. (Translation: So for that you will have to study a lot and learn his language. Then you will also be able to talk to him like we do.) She wanted to tell him that they talked a lot throughout the day but Ryker told her to keep it as a secret so she kept her mouth s
When Ryker left the room all the boldness and happiness of Inaayat was gone with him leaving a silent person behind with no words or movements as if she was a mannequin. She sat there looking at her hands in her lap like they were the most interesting thing in the world. Nancy also settled on the couch in front of her looking at her frozen figure cautiously while Arjun was collecting something from the drawers of the side table. Ryker who left the room was also not sure about leaving Inaayat with Arjun even though Nancy was with them. He knew Arjun was the safest man for her than him but still he didn't want to leave her alone knowing how much uncomfortable she gets in any other person's presence but he couldn't teach her too because he didn't want her to get attached to him. He saw how she was crying at the mention of him leaving so he decided to not let her get attached to him more. He walked back to his room and sat on the couch keeping his laptop at his lap he started working
She giggled hearing him because it was the first genuine compliment of her life. Even if Arjun has complimented her so many times when they were kids but it was coming from a friend and it was different from the compliment which was coming from Ryker. She felt so happy and completed after getting complimented by him. She twirled in front of the mirror admiring her new look not getting enough of it. "Ab chalein bahar?" He asked her because it was time for breakfast so she turned to look at him and silently nodded in approval. (Translation: Let's go out now?) He waited for her to walk out of the room first and then he followed her from behind. As he was locking the door from outside Arjun also came out of his room. He saw Inaayat and stilled for a moment because it was the first for him too, to see her dressed up with all the accessories. His feet walked towards her automatically with a mesmerized smile on his face. "Arre Inu tum to aaj bohot hi sundar lag rahi ho." Arjun compli
The next day, it was early morning and Ryker was as usual sitting on the couch and taking glances at Inaayat's sleeping figure from time to time while working on his laptop. Staying far away from his territory, his country is a bit difficult for him because he had to keep track of everything via the internet and the lack of his presence in his country is giving people a little freedom of doing whatever they want. Although his men were trying to keep the situations under control but not being the boss aka him there, other mafia are constantly conspiring to attack his mafia and conquer the territory of Ireland which was impossible in his presence. His presence and dominating aura alone make people shit themselves that's why he has to work while night on instructing his men to continue spreading the terror there no matter what it takes. If there was any other situation he would have left it no matter how important it would be for him but leaving Inaayat alone was not something he wa
On the other hand, Ryker came inside his room with Inaayat and closed the door from inside while Inaayat looked at him silently with tears pooling her eyes. He sighed and again that feeling started looming in his mind that his world is not made for her- the innocent soul. Just the promise ritual of their mafia terrified the poor soul then how will she react to the other dangerous and twisted things. He made her sit on the bed and knelt down in front of her. His rough palm automatically inched near to her cheeks and he gently wiped her tears with his rough and calloused fingers. His rough hands felt so tough on her rosy, soft and flawless cheeks. Her nose turned red and a sob broke out of her lips. She tried to say something about the blood thing but nothing came out of her mouth because that incident was out of her thoughts. "Shant ho jaiye, bacche. Kuch nahi hua hai." Ryker tried to console her even if he didn't know how to. (Translation: Calm down, kid. Nothing happened.) "W-Wo
It was evening time and the sky almost turned orange and yellow shade looking so ethereal that everyone had to stop and capture the beauty of the sky in their mobile phones. The birds were returning back to their respective shelters but someone was coming to a whole different and new place after leaving their home. They didn't know how they would be between new people with foreign languages and ethics. Soon a plane landed at the land of India carrying so many foreigners in it and among them there was that one person also who had a motive of coming there, not as a tourist but at work. The passengers started getting down the plane so did that person and after completing all the formalities and fetching their bags, they started walking out of the airport. Whoever was looking at that woman was not able to move their gaze away for her, either male or female. Everyone was mesmerized by her unbeatable beauty and classy fashion sense. She was looking like a model straight out of the GQ or
