Abhimanyu Singhania, the brother was both emotional and happy. His baby brother finally decided to come. The last night he couldn't sleep. The whole he was thinking the childhood when Aditya always relied on him for anything. Aditya was always an innocent baby who was even scared to kill a mosquito. He was a saint-like child. He was the same when he grown up. That was his only prayer, his brother should not change anytime.

Swetha Singhania, wife of Gautam Singhania was really excited for her favorite son's arrival. She was running here and there, instructing the workers who are decorating the mansion to welcome Aditya who is returning from London.

"Swetha please relax somewhere. From morning onwards, you were running like this. They will do their job. Don't worry." Gautam Singhania said to his wife. He was sitting on the couch reading the files. Swetha turned and smiled at him.

"Its nothing like that Gautam. I am very tensed. He is coming here after 5 years". She replied emotionally. 

"I don't know what has happened to him. You know he didn't have a proper conversation with us for about two years. We used to call him and he will answer only in a few words. I am worried about him Gautam. Something has happened to him" Swetha continued rambling making him sigh. 

Keeping the files on the couch, he stood up and walked towards her. 

"Don't worry Swetha. Now he is coming here right? You can directly ask him." Gautam calmed his wife. 

"Yes ma . Papa is right." The couple turned and saw Priya coming with a tray of glasses.

Priya Singhania, wife of the eldest Abhimanyu Singhania, a lovely daughter and daughter-in-law for them. 

"Ma why are you stressing yourself? Please take rest. You now your health is not good. Doctor has also told you to not to take tension. Then why are you stressing yourself. Here drink this." Priya scolded. She made Swetha sit on the couch and forwarded her the glass of water. 

Sweth shook her head with a smile and dank the water. 

"Beta Aditya is coming here after so long so na. So I am excited" Swetha chirped. Priya smiled.

"Ma don't take tension. Aditya will come here in one piece don't worry. Even I am also excited to see my devar for first time . I have only seen him in photos." Priya grinned covering her saddness.

But the couple knows their daughter-in-law was disappointed when she came to know that Aditya won't attend her's and Abhimanyu's marriage. 

"Ya right. He didn't even come for your's and Abhi's wedding. I am really angry on him for this. Priya and Abhi didn't tie the knot happily but in sadness" Gautam said seriously making the ladies worried.

"Pa please. On the day of our wedding, Devar ji informed Abi that he was busy due to some business problems so he could not come. So please don't be angry at him" Priya pleaded clutching his hands.

"She is right Gautam. He is the one who made our company to a big success in London. He is struggling day to night without taking rest .So please don't behave in a bad way" Swetha supported Priya. And Swetha also likes Aditya a bit more than Abhimanyu. She hates if some one scolds him. 

"I know Swetha he is really a gem to us. He is the reason for the growth of the Singhania empire and that is why I am giving him the CEO position here in our own country" Gautam announced being proud of his son.

Swetha and Priya smiled in happiness hearing Gautam's decision.

"Yes pa your decision is absolutely correct. He deserves that position" Priya said excitedly.

"Priya did Abi called you. Did they reach the airport " Swetha asked.

"yes ma he called me and they will reach airport very soon. Till then you go and take rest ma. Me and dad will take care of everything" Priya replied.

" Yes Swetha go and take rest. We will take care of everything" Gautam assured his tensed wife

" Okay okay I will go and when will the Mehra's come" Swetha asked getting up from the couch.

"Um Raj said that he will come in an hour." Gautam replied.

"Ma now you can go. Me and pa will start our duty." Priya said making the couple smile.

Swetha sighed and walked towards her room. As she reached, she stepped in, opened her cupboard and took a giant book. It was the album of Aditya. She sat on the bed comfortably and opened the book. The first page had the the pic of a one-year-old Aditya with an innocent smile. The picture made her tear up. 

"Adi, why didn't you call us the last week ?. Did you forget us ?" 

All she got was silence

"Adiii, don't scare you mom. Please tell me baccha. Are you ok ?

"Mo..m, I..I am not well. Will call you later byee."

That was the last conversation they had. Since then, he never called them. 

As a mother, she knows her son is not well. Something has happened to him. But what surprised her was his sudden change. He was good a week before Abhimanyu's-Priya's marriage. 

"Hope my son will open up to me."
