AUTHOR'S POV:

The laptop screen was playing the footage from Raghbir's birthday night at the venue.

His eyes were glued to the screen the entire time, not looking away even once.

He had arrived home around 8 in the evening, and since then he hadn't left his room. He was determined to find out who threw the gift in the dustbin.

He looked at the screen keenly only to find a person walking towards the garden. It was clear by the way of his walking that the person was a man. However, his face wasn't quite visible due to the rounded hat he was wearing, and his face was covered with a black mask preventing anyone to see his face.

Raghbir's jaw clenched when the man handed the watchman a fine amount of money and swiftly threw the gift into the dustbin !!

The audacity of that filthy guy!!!

But how did he get the gift?? Meera gave it to Kiara right??
Raghbir was confused!!

Pausing the video, Raghbir picked up his mobile phone to call Kiara. He needs to know who this guy was.

"Oye hoye, dekho kisne call kiya hai", Kiara mocked Raghbir as soon as she picked up the call.

"Kiara, mazak nahi. Mujhe tumse Baat karni hai Kuchh", Raghbir said in a firm yet gentle tone.

Listening to his off voice Kiara frowned "Kya hua Raghbir? Koi problem hai?",

"Actually Kia...Mujhe bass Yeh batao kal tumne Meera ka gift leke kisko diya??",

"Meera ka... oh vo!! vo toh maine table pe rakh diya", Kiara said in an obvious tone. "table pe?", Raghbir asked "Haan table pe. Arey when Meera gave me the gift, we heard you announce something. That's why I kept the gift on the nearby table and went in the hall", listening to her raghbir just mouthed an 'oh'

"Is something wrong?", Kiara asked.

"No.. Aa.. Yeah actually". Raghbir sighed. He should inform Kiara about all of these. After all, she was linked here as well. "Tell me what is it Raghbir", Kiara asked softly.

-"Long story, cannot tell you over the phone call."

"Then let's meet tomorrow morning for breakfast. You will pay my bill and I'll listen to your long story, what say?" Kiara said cheering him up and he couldn't help but chuckle. She's a gone case. "Sure, see you tomorrow at our usual place!", Kiara smiled through the phone and cut the call.

"Raghbir!!! Raghbir!!", Jaya called out for her son. He hasn't come out of his room for almost two hours. She sometimes thinks about what would he do when she will go back to Agra.!!

It was half past ten and she was waiting for both the men of the house to come and start dinner. "Mummaaa Mai agyaa!! Papa kidhar hai?", hugging Jaya, Raghbir took his place at the dining table.

"Humei koi Yaad kar raha tha..?", Ranvijay entered the dining area with a smirk on his face. "Jaya ji, Humei toh lag raha tha Humara beta room se bahar hi nahi niklega aaj", Ranvijay teased Raghbir making him frown in confusion while Jaya just laughed.

"Kya bole Jaa rahe hai aap papa??", Raghbir asked curiously. "Arey hum toh sirf bol rahe the aapki ma ko ke Raghbir ko ab apni hone wali biwi se fursat mile taba na Humse Baat karegi", as soon as the words left Ranvijay's mouth, Raghbir chocked in the water he was drinking and started coughing vigorously. Seeing his condition, Ranvijay couldn't stop himself from laughing. But his laughter didn't last longer as Jaya, who was giving water to her dear son snapped at him "Kam se kam khana toh khane dijiye mere bachhe ko". Ranvijay paused for a moment and again burst out laughing. "Paapaa!! Kya Aap bhi !! Meera bass Dost hai meri!", Raghbir whined keeping the fork in his plate.
