CHAPTER-40

AFTER 3 YEARS

"Dadi...Panditji is calling...preparations are all done..." Akash said helping Devyani and Subhadra taking them to the puja spot...

"It's been 3 years...Devyani..." said Subhadra painfully...tears rolling down their eyes...

"Akash...what about Chotte?" asked Devyani hopefully...

"I tried Dadi but he denied...this year also he is not coming...." Sighed Akash...

"Where is he now?" asked Manorama...

"Bhai is in Paris for our new launch..." replied Anjali...

"No Anji...currently Bhai is in Sydney...NK Bhai reported some problem so he had to go there...he is there from last week..." said Akash...

"He didn't even care for his wife and son's death anniversary..." Payal said sarcastically....

"Stop Payal...we all know what Bhai is doing...he is hiding his pain keeping himself busy..."

"Stop arguing...the puja is starting settle down everyone..." said Anusha...

Today was the day they lost their happiness...like previous years the Raizada family conducted a puja for their Khushi and Arush...

After 3 years nothing is same as before for the Raizada's...it says time is the best healer but for them that magic is yet to happen... though they are trying hard to run their life normally but the pain is too much to bear...

Devyani, Subhadra closed themselves between the four walls of their room...Manohar left office...currently Manorama and Sheena were running the house...She never gave her love to Arnav but she can feel his pain, pain of losing loved ones...seeing him like that her heart pained so she denoted her full time on the household...

Akash remained working in AR...it was the only way he can get some touch of his Bhai...and for this same reason Anjali joined AR...She was understanding Khushi then but Arush she was too much closed to Arush...losing him she was totally a changed version now...Payal joined Anusha in their family business...she wanted less involvement with the house to ignore the bitter memories...

Arjun was a lost soul...he also left his business...his days passed crying for his only son...he can feel what his Chotte was going through...it was the same path that he had passed once...his only work was to collect his son's success stories, his son's pictures, watching his son's interviews over and over...

Arnav Singh Raizada aka ASR was the new terror in business...in this three years he took his AR Designs in such position that now his single word is the final word in fashion business...he had spread his business over the world wide...he was always travelling from place to place due to his vast business...Work was his only motto...he hardly came back to Shantivan...it was only for Devyani and Subhadra's pleadings that he visits Shantivan once in every two or three months...

At Sydney office:

"ASR...It's time...everything is on track..." said Aman...

"Book my tickets to India...it's show time..."said ASR smirking...

"All the best Nannav..." chirped NK

"Shut up...Lav how you tolerate him?" said Arnav rolling his eyes...

"What to do if god selected this monkey for me..." sighed Lavanya...

"You two....leave it...let me call my partner..." said NK irritated...

"I don't have time...I am leaving...tell your partner and her minions to take care...." saying Arnav left the place smiling at their craziness... 

HAPPY NEW YEAR...may this new year bring lots of happiness and success in your life.... thank you for your votes and comments....
