Healed By Love

Chapter 24: Family

Advik Khanna:

' The famous bussinesswoman Ruhi Singhania to be rumoured fighting a murder case.'

' The former business magnet Randir Dutta rumoured to be involved in the case.'

' Ruhi Singhania and Advik Khanna are currently rumoured to be in Chandigarh. They have been away from the media for awhile and are not seen in Mumbai.'

' Ruhi Singhania and Advik Khanna still didn't approve their relationship.'

' Why is Ruhi Singhania fighting a murder case?'

' Rumours have it that Ruhi Singhania is the daughter of the late Uday Singhania who was one of the owner of lifecare pharmaceutical company which is now owned by Randhir Dutta. Is the case connected to this by some sort.'

I switched off the television after looking through every news channel. Even on the business news, only theses headlines are there. I huffed and sat up straight. " Mom!"

" Yes Advik?" She asked from the kitchen.

" I am hungry. Again." I said sheepishly. She came out of the kitchen and narrowed her eyes at me.

" You just ate half an hour ago." She said keeping her hands on her waist.

" Okay I am more like getting bored." I said standing up and walking in the kitchen.

" Why don't you go to Ruhi's then?" She asked and I opened the refrigerator door.

" Should I?" I asked looking at her.

" Why are you asking me?"

" She is out for shopping with Ahaana." I told her.

" Shopping? But tomorrow's the trial."

" She the Ruhi Singhania. She has stopped caring for these things and grieving on them everytime." I said taking out a pastry and closing the refrigerator door by my leg.

" mhmm. More like your Ruhi?" I could feel the heat crawl up my neck and I looked away. " My baby's in so love no? He's grown up now."

" Mom! Stop calling me a baby and yes I am grown up now." I said walking past her in the living room.

" Why don't you go to Ruhi and help her in shopping. She will love it if you will go and help her.

" I know. I thought about that before you and I am going there once I complete this." I said showing her the plate.

" Atleast thank me for giving you such a good idea." She said sitting beside me. I kept the plate down and hugged her.

" Thank you my great mother for such a great advice." I said almost jumping on her.

" You are still such a child."

" Everyone says that. Ruhi too." I said returning to my plate.

" My boy is really in love." She said sighing. I grinned in response. " I am sorry. Actually very sorry for telling you to leave Ruhi."

" Mom, you have apologized already many a times, it's okay. I and Ruhi, both of us have forgave you." I spoke smoothly

" I know but the guilt is not leaving me. I don't even know why I did that. When you spoke to me while taking a stand for her, then I realised I was right. My son can never be wrong. I didn't even wished you on your birthday." She said looking at her fingers.

" It was my first birthday when I didn't get your and Dad's blessings." I said.

"I am so sorry." She said her voice breaking down.
