Arohi's POV:
The concert went well last night and I laughed at the girl who appears at my every concert. She is happy that my son didn't make it yesterday and she got a chance to meet me. She complained a lot and bestowed him with a few colourful words but she couldn't hold herself but accept how handsome my son is.
I just landed at Juhu Airport and hurriedly grabbed my luggage from the belt. Anshu should be here but he didn't even call me about picking me up. That rascal might be enjoying with Arjun. I took a taxi to Arjun's and gently knocked on the door. But there is no response. I opened the door and saw Anshu sitting on the carpet with his t-shirt drenched in blood, Arjun sat on the sofa with his head in his hands.
" Anshuuuu!" I almost screamed in horror but both the men asked me to keep quiet.
" Shhhh" Anshu said slowly walking towards me.
" Anshu, baby why is your t-shirt covered in blood?" I asked checking him thoroughly for any injuries.
" Mumma, I'm fine. Please stay calm. Please." He cooed cupping my cheeks and wiping my tears. I was about to speak but my gaze fell on Kia who is sleeping on the sofa with a kerchief against her nose with hints of blood on it.
" Did you hurt her Anshu? Please say no. I know my son won't do such things." I pleaded and I saw hurt in his eyes.
" Aru, calm down and freshen up first. Stop panicking and Anshu didn't hurt her. I'll tell you everything." Arjun said holding both my shoulders.
He took my bag and walked me to the guest room. I'm shaken. What might have happened? Neither Anshu nor Arjun is saying anything. I took a shower and wore a track and a T-shirt.
I marched down and saw Anshu changing her kerchief while she looked disturbed. There is a handprint on her cheek, her nose looks bruised, and a cut on her lip.
" Arjun, what happened to her?" I asked and he just took me into a hug without answering. Anshu looked like he is in a trance. His eyes are on Kia but his mind is somewhere else.
" Mumma, we need to talk." He said and it's giving me an unsettling feeling. I looked at Arjun and he wetted his lips looking away.
Arjun took us to his room and I sat on the bed while the men took the sofa.
" You remember we went to a dinner recently where we ate seafood, Mumma?" Anshu asked and I nodded. Arjun looked equally curious about what Anshu is saying.
" We saw a girl who was facing the sea and crying. When we asked her, she assured us that she won't commit suicide because there are a lot of people who cry for her. She said that right?" He asked hastily and I nodded.
" But how is that matter related to Kia now?" I asked and he looked at Arjun.
" Was she Kia?" Arjun asked looking broken. I can understand him. He saw Kia as his baby and she wanted to kill herself.
" She said the same phrase to her father when he hit her today Mumma. Don't worry, I will not kill myself because there are a lot of people who cry for me. These are the exact same words she used that day and today too Mumma." Anshu whispered and I gasped.
" Arjun, she needs medical attention." I whispered and he looked at his hands as his tears fell on them.
" I was unable to do anything for her Arohi. Her father hit her and I let him. My girl stood for me in every phase of my life and I just stood like a boulder when she was being assaulted. She feels suffocated in that house. I've seen her crying many nights just to sleep. My poor baby has endured so much because of her toxic parents." Arjun said and slowly I was able to grasp it.
