The morning took over very soon as always making people busy in their own respective world. But here in the Khan mansion the atmosphere seem over calm. Because leaving Mr. Khan and Mrs. Khan nobody was there in the great huge mansion. The butlers were also there but busy in their alloted works.
And about the two heirs of the mansion, Aryan and Ayaan. They never really get bothered to stay at home. Their hatred for their father has increased tenfolds. Now that Sabir Khan is regretting his deeds can well understand the pain of his sons. But it is already too late. He just want his sons to be happy. Though he really want to talk to them but it is very rare. As Aryan works under Mr. Khan, he sometime need to converse with him. And Ayaan didn't even remember when he last conversed with him.
Though Aryan has already left for office Ayaan has taken a day off today. He is not well since few days. Being a doctor himself he can well understand that it all happening because of the stress he is taking everyday. And when Aryan discovered everything he strictly ordered to take rest for a day. Finding no otherwise he decided to stay back only. But vowed never to come out of his room even for once. As he is not at all habituated to stay at the house at this hours.
While in the office,
Aryan was relaxing in his big chair while seeing the amazing view of the city from the big glass window of his cabin. He was looking so professional with that black Armani suit perfectly fitting his body.
They just ended their work on a project. He again signed a new deal just yesterday but for now he is relaxing because before starting his part of work his employees need to fix some things. They must be coming to him in a while. Suddenly he heard a knock on the cabin door.
"Come in" That stern rude voice can leave anyone trembling.
Some employees with few interns following them stepped into the cabin. The interns seemed to be nervous ofcourse as they are all new. But what the face of the employees held was not nervousness but fear. The fear of loosing their job.
Once Aryan was done with the interns, one of the employees walk upto him and handed him the file he was holding until now. He was thankful to God that Aryan was delaying to read the file as he was busy on his laptop.
When his eyes finally landed on the file, the employee thought it was the right moment to ask for the leave he thought of taking from the coming week only to realize that it was not.
"Sir I was thinking of taking leave fro.. " His words remained incomplete as Aryan spoke in between.
"You are fired." Aryan voice held so much calm with no hint of anger and any thing else.
"Sir what?? Please don't do this to me sir. Sir please give me another chance." He tried his best to speak in his defense.
"Is that what I said Mr.? Not right? Then tell me what did I say. " Aryan said with his piercing gaze fixed on the man standing infront of him. The man didn't dare to utter a single word.
" I asked you to say something. Isn't it??" The man nodded.
"So tell"
"I a-m fi-r-ed" The man said rather murmured literally stammering. His face held fear and redemption.
"Sir please. Just give me a chance." The man expression seemed so determined that Aryan end up giving a second thought upon the matter.
"But you know what if you assure me that you will give me no chance to spot your mistakes again then I can think otherwise. Now the choice is on your hands." Aryan said.
"I promise sir. I won't repeat this mistake ever again." The man assured.
"Okay then you will remain under my observation till the next month. You can leave now." Aryan said.
Giving Aryan no chance to speak the man left the cabin with his furious step. Well this was Aryan. Who can put forward innumerable opportunities for the ones who had passion and determination. But hates when people take their job for granted.
----------------------------
It was already twilight when Aryan reached his home early as wanted to accompany Ayaan who thought to take a stroll along the Marine drive to relax himself.
As they were chatting and cherishing the view a man came to them and said "Heyy dude. Long time Haan."
"Ohh buddy. Isn't it what I should tell you Arjun. You got so busy marrying that never get time to remember your old friends." Aryan replied back.
Arjun was Aryan college friend. Even being in the same college Aryan and Ayaan had separated class as both their departments were different. Arjun had became the perfect friend of Aryan. Arjun got married the previous month only.
"Then you should also get married. You will also remain occupied." Arjun said kidding. But Aryan's face lost its colour. And the broken smile on his face can be a well defined proof. He knows how much he tries no one can take a bit of place in his heart when the whole heart belongs to her. Like Shah Rukh Khan said " Hum ek bar jeete hai, ek bar marte hai, shaadi bhi ek baar hoti hai or pyaar bhi" And now that his love remained incomplete his faith on love has gone away totally.
"Naah man. That's not my cup of tea." Aryan said.
"But wait where is Ayaan?" Aryan questioned not finding his brother in his sight.
"He had a call to attend so he went that side. He told you but you are engrossed in my bhabi's thought that you didn't hear." Arjun teased
"What nonsense!" Aryan exclaimed when he finally understood his teasing.
"Okay bye Aryan. I have to buy some medicines for my mother. See you soon." With that both waved at each other and Arjun left the spot.
"Who? Tanisha??" Aryan threw the question at Ayaan. "Umm.. yeah." Ayaan replied back scratching his neck and continued talking on the phone with the same person.
It's been nearly 2 years that Ayaan is in with relationship with Tanisha Singhania. They met in the hospital while Tanisha's father was admitted in his hospital. Ayaan stayed with her and consoled her when she broke down due to her father's major health issues. And that started with their relationship. Both the families know about their relationship.
Tanisha is a world famous model. Now Tanisha is in New York to build her career. During the times when she was in Mumbai she told Ayaan about her dream to become a model. And when she got the opportunity Ayaan also didn't force her to stay. They thought that it will affect their relationship. But it didn't. Their engagement was also fixed but Ayaan canceled it saying that it is not more important than her career. Ayaan has always supported Tanisha.
"So when are you planning to come back to Mumbai?" Ayaan said. "Don't know dear. But I don't think anytime soon. There will be shoot for some magazine covers. But you also need to think that your girlfriend is now the global icon of some world famous cosmetics brands." Tanisha said sarcastically. "Of course your highness. I will wait for my whole life to get you by my side. Now bye. I will call you later." Ayaan said with the same sarcasm. "Okay. Take some rest properly and call me when you are free. Will be meeting you soon. Bye" Tanisha said and they both ended their call.
He always has a smile plastered on his face whenever he cuts the call after taking to Tanisha. She is his lifeline.
Just as he about to say something Aryan's phone rang. He was least bothered to pick it up. His mind was occupied with some disturbing thoughts which didn't made him realize that his phone is ringing.
His phone was constantly ringing. But he didn't bothered to pick it up. His brother nudged him from beside and said "It's ringing continuously. Pick it up now." Sighing heavily and picked up the call. He didn't utter a word in their whole conversation at their phone call. After whole 5 mins he cut the call. His brother asked "What happened?" He replied,
"It's about mom."
