Khan Mansion

It was 9:30 am in the morning. Everyone was present at the breakfast table except Ayaan. Aryan who have returned from the hospital last evening was also present there. The butlers were preparing the breakfast. Ayaan was probably getting ready for work. Aryan decided to take rest for the day. From the next day he will start working.

Sabir was sitting on the head chair beside him was Aryan and opposite to him was his grandmother. Atifa who was sitting beside her elder brother was busy in her phone. Alisha was also present their setting the plates.

Sabir had an face which was hard to study. From the moment he got to know about Aryan's accident he was like this. He obviously didn't like the fact that Aryan was driving recklessly when he was drunk. And also he faced an accident with the son of a famous politician who was also injured badly. His main concern was not about Aryan's physical condition. It was about the loss his business is going to suffer or how many deal he is going to loose.

On the other hand Aryan was also guilty. But he was not on his correct mind at that time. He was also disturbed about his grandmother's condition. And he was also ready to do anything to again make the business stable.

Ayaan came downstairs after few more minutes fixing his black glasses. Atifa kept her phone aside as the maid served her thr food. Ayaan sat beside her and Atifa wished "Good Morning." Ayaan wished her back. Atifa was just about to take the first bite of her food when her father cleared his throat.

She kept her spoon down because she knew his father is going to say something. Aryan also looked at her father guessing what he is about to say while Ayaan was looking down at his plate with no expression.

"I think Aryan you know the loss our business is facing currently." Sabir stated to which Aryan only nodded. "I think you know the reason of it. I never expected this behavior from you. We have suffered a huge loss just because of your silly mistake. No one is signing any deal with us. Even our most important employees also left the job seeing the condition of the business. If this goes on like this we will be on the streets just because of you." Sabir yelled.

Aryan couldn't control himself. He know his mistake but that doesn't give him any authority to shout at him. "Well. I am not heartless like you. You have already snatched our mother from us. Dadi was the only one left who takes care of us. Maybe you can leave while seeing her on deathbed. But I can't." Aryan said.

"But how will you pay for your actions. What about our business. Do you want it to flow with the waves. No bank is even giving us loan." Sabir asked banging his hand in the table.

"Dad. Just stop it. He has just returned from the hospital last night. Don't you have any heart. Huhh.. How could I expect you to have one after you killed our mother and your own wife." Ayaan said.

"Don't you dare talk between us Ayaan. And don't bring the topic of your mother. I never killed her. It was just an accident. And your mother is Aisha." Sabir stated. His voice telling that he is controlling his anger.

"What. Accident. It's the word you give to your brutal deeds just cover them. And yes. Mrs. Alisha Khan. She can be your wife. But she can never be our mother." Ayaan said. Hatred dripping from his voice.

"I don't care what you think. And Aryan. It was a business that I've build with my own hands. I don't want it to ruin just because of you. Do whatever you want. I want my company to reach the way it was before. And you have only 1 week to rebuild everything." Sabir stated and stood up from his chair.

"Sent the food in my room." Sabir said and left from the dining room.

All this while Aryan eyes was stuck on his food plate. His jaw clenched and his face red. "Damnit." he said and banged the table loudly making the others flinch and went upstairs without touching his food. No one dared call him back. Ayaan also left the table and went to the hospital with having anything.
