Riansh FF: BROKEN

Chapter 12

No matter what, I am going to be there with you.

Even if no one is there with you I'll stand by your side.

Fight your wars alongside you side by side.

Everyone was gathered in the hall of the VR Mansion to bid goodbye to Kailash. Taking blessings from his mother, a hug to all men of the house along with Ishani and Sia, and a smile to Riddhima he was ready to leave.

Turning around and coming face to face with Anupriya his face hardened. Giving a tight smile to her and getting an awkward smile from Anupriya in return who felt a little uncomfortable.

Kailash Rai Singhania always had that effect on her. If she might dare say he was the only man and person in this family besides Vansh who can ignite some fear in her. Vansh she can still handle but this man was a different case altogether. He never meets her eye to eye, never bothers to give her, his time of the more than absolutely necessary, and is hardly tolerating her for the sake of it. Though he hardly spent much time here whatever time he did spend was enough to put her on edge and on her wits-end. Thank goodness he is living now thought Anupriya much to her relief but much to her dismay will be back soon and much more to her dread for good this time. Well at least till he doesn't return she can live in peace no matter how long or short-lived it is.

Vansh noticed the tension between Kailash and Anupriya. It wasn't the first time either. Kailash Chachu was always somewhat cold with Mom and much to say he never really liked her. Vansh didn't know the reason and never bothered with asking both because it was a matter between both of them and he can't really interfere. He hoped whatever the issue is they sort it out someday.

Biding his final goodbye Kailash left.

"Boss, may I come in?"

asked Angre peeking from the door of Vansh's home office.

"Yes, Angre and how many times do I need to tell you to call me Bhai and not the boss? You are a family officially now."

Said Vansh giving him a pointed look.

With an embarrassed smile, Angre entered.

"Bhai, you asked to do a background check on Sejal right?"

said Angre forwarding a file to Vansh.

"Yes, what did you find? Anything noteworthy?"

asked Vansh taking the file away.

"Yes, bhai apparently Riddhima Bhabhi saved her Sejal's life 15 years ago and that's how they became friends."

Informed Angre surprising Vansh and continued

"It's since then they have been together and Sejal hasn't left her side. Even though Sejal is, not an orphan and has her mother and elder brother with her and her own house too she often spends most of the time with Riddhima to the point that people think of her as another orphan kid from the orphanage. She often used to stay in the orphanage with Bhabhi and hardly ever left her alone. Even the family treats bhabhi as their own but since they weren't financially very strong back then considering Sejal's father passed away not long back and the family was struggling to survive.

Sejal and her brother Suraj were young so they didn't adopt bhabhi. Though they tried to support and be there in whatever way possible for the bhabhi. Sejal's mother is a housewife and her brother is a manager at Shergill Hospital where Bhabhi works as an assistant senior doctor though occasionally now. Sejal herself works for Mehta Event Management Company as an event planner. The rest of the details are in the file."
