The Destined King

Episode 20

"It has been one month since Pavani's death, mom and dad have become calm, they don't talk, eat only when I force them, please come home and talk to them," pleaded Karthik.

"I have exams and you know how Isha is, she won't study, it is her 10th, I can't take a risk, I promise as soon as the exams are over, I will send Isha there for some days," said Abhay.

"Can you at least call them? It's just a request though," said Karthik.

"I will do that, but tomorrow evening, now I need to disconnect this call and concentrate on my studies," said Abhay and disconnected the call.

"I knew that he would never listen to you, but you still want to beg those outsiders," said Aarthi.

"Stay away from my family and I don't have to know from you who is an outsider and who is my family," said Karthik, walking towards Kavya's room.

"I need this family to protect myself," thought Aarthi.

"Hey, you both listen to me carefully, you can't lock yourselves in the room, I came here to meet you both, and my brother has given me permission to stay with you for one long week," shouted Isha from outside and Rohan and Kavya looked at each other and opened the door and Isha hugged them tightly.

"We thought you would never come," said Kavya, crying.

"Oh, I am sorry for that, I should have taken permission before coming here," said Isha.

"You idiot, you don't need permission to come to our house, this is our house," said Rohan, hitting her forehead.

Isha spent one week with them and Abhay came there to check on her.

"I knew that you can't stay away from me for more than one week," said Isha, looking at Abhay.

"I didn't come here to take you, I was just worried about uncle and aunt," said Abhay.

"They are doing good, but they are still sleeping. If you are not here to meet me, then you may leave then," said Isha, pouting.

"Radha sent this sweet for you," said Abhay, putting the box on the table, and started to leave.

"You didn't come here to take me?" asked Isha and her eyes welled up with tears.

"No, I am going out of station, will return next week, you can stay here till that time," said Abhay and Isha started crying and ran towards him and hugged him from behind and said, "you are lying, you will never leave me alone."

"You are not alone, you have a boyfriend, you have a family, you don't need me anymore Isha, so I thought it's a better time to start concentrating on business, you are busy with your boyfriend, you call him 10 times daily, but you can't call your one brother one time, you showed who is important to you," said Abhay.

"I am sorry," said Isha.

"I am sorry that I came to disturb you," said Abhay, freeing himself and leaving from there.

"I never thought you are maintaining such a good relationship with your half brother, you should continue doing that, anyway in some days you will get married to your boyfriend, why don't you ask for your share," said Aarthi.

"What share? Property or his love?" asked Isha.

"Obviously property, Isha don't be a fool, he is your half brother, after marriage every man will change and his priorities as well," said Aarthi.

"I don't want any share in his property, I just want his love, care and affection, I can't tolerate anyone beside him, how can you think I will go away after my marriage?" asked Isha, taking the box and walking towards Kavya's room.
