The rich, the famous personalities have there own set of issues. They have a mask to keep always on. No one knows what they say is true and what's a lie.

The media people who stood outside of the city hospital waiting for any information about Adhiraj Singhal or his family weren't aware of the mess Singhals were in.

Being the heir of a estate Adhiraj Singhal still managed to be a low key person. No one knew about him studying in London. No one knew that he was a intern in a company.

Slowly he had earned a name for himself. Only when he was sure he was Adhiraj Singhal before being the heir to the estate he took over all the responsibilities of his empire.

He never needed emotional support because he was a controlled person. He always accepted his feelings and had control on his mind until Mamta Rawat walked in his life.

She affected him like no one else. Her words mattered and he wanted her to always have a good opinion on him. In no time he was in love with her. Her kind eyes and calm smile lit up his world.

But he wasn't aware of the pair of eyes admiring him from afar. He never realised that just like he was in love with Mamta , Madhuri loved him too.

Atleast he had the opportunity to spend some good days with the love of his life. He could be with her at the end of the day. He had seen ups and downs with Mamta. He had his son Aditya with her.

But Madhuri was destined to go through the pain of losing love. She had seen everything and yet couldn't do anything about it.

Adhiraj blinked several times to adjust to the lights of the hospital room as he felt someone hold his hand.

In his left sat the woman who was responsible for everything that has occurred in their lives. He wondered if anyone was aware of her presence in this hospital chamber.

"How are you feeling?" She asked slowly.

Then he took in her appearance. She looked tired and little disheveled. Her perfect bun had a few strands misplaced. Her eyes were tired and lips dry.

"It's valid if you don't want to talk to me or even look at my face. But I need to know if you are fine. Adi, Annika or anyone aren't cooperating. But they have let me meet you. Tell me are you okay?"

"I am fine. You don't need to bother any more." He spoke before closing his eyes slipping into a dreamless slumber. Perhaps that would help him soak in the reality.

Madhuri realised a breath that she was holding. Today she would have lost him because of her own deeds. This realisation was splash of cold water on her face.

Outside the hospital room stood Aditya, stoic and unreadable. Manish had politely refused to talk to her. She was thank full to Shivaay who found her god knows how and brought her here.

She was still not sorry for her deeds but the hollow had deepened. Her efforts of all these years went to vain. Now she didn't even have the trust of Adhiraj. 

The battle of emotions was over and she was the one who lost. As she walked out of the room she saw Annika walking towards her.

Was she going to talk to her? Or maybe demand explanation of her doings. But nothing as such occurred when she walked passed him into the hospital ward.

Lost in thoughts she took a seat and rested her head on the wall behind. Exhaustion taking over her senses slowly. Her mind playing the incidents, her misdeeds.
