37.

Abhimaan was shook to the core after hearing Rudra's words.

His fists tightened and his jaw clenched as a sudden urge to destroy someone made it's way inside him knowing that person is none other than the reason of Arshita's nightmares, tears and depression.

But suddenly a doubt arose in his mind.

"Is't that person already dead after getting arrested?" His brows furrowed as he asked the question that was bugging him.

"We came to know that the person who got arrested was the right hand of that criminal." Rudra explained running a hand through his hair.

"Now why is he back? And what does he want that he's doing all this?" Abhimaan asked with rage.

"Apparently he wanted to marry mom. But she denied him and that's the reason he's hell bent on destroying our family even after so many years. It seems as if he's sick or something afterall what kind of person can go to this level." Rudra answered.

His PI investigation revealed many untold secrets of his mother's death. Arjun even sent that person jail in the case of stalking along with many other allegations to keeptheir family safe. Arjun also destroyed his business so that no power would be left in his hands. But now there's no clue who's giving him power to do all this.

"Just give me the name, and that person won't exist the other day." Abhimaan's eyes held rage as he spoke.

"Avinash Thakur." Rudra replied. "But he can't do anything without any external support as he has nothing in his hands right now. Someone is giving him the power by helping him. And we have to find out that person."

Abhimaan was about to say something when he heard a sound of breaking something only to see Arshita present there who has knocked down a vase as it's broken pieces were now scattering on the floor.

Rudra looked being horrified at Abhimaan in fear of her hearing anything.

Abhimaan's steps move forward to held her shaking figureas she looked up at him with red eyes.

"I-I h-heard everything." She whispered making Rudra close her eyes as he took a deep sigh.

This was not how he planned.

"Arshu, bachha calm down. He'll not be able to do anything to you. I'm here with you now. Right?" Abhimaan whispered in her hair tightening his hold on her to provide her a sense of comfort and security.

"Abhimaan, I guess it'll be better if you take her home now. It's been a very exhausted day for her. She needs rest badly." Rudra patted her head looking at Abhimaan who nodded.

Rudra never wanted Arshita to know about this new information. She'll surely get traumatized again. And now what he was fearing the most happened.

Arshita shook her head in denial while looking up at her brother with eyes swelled with tears in them.

He knows she's concerned about their father but now if she stayed here, her health will deteriorate more.

"Arshu, dad is alright now. And moreover he's sleeping. His all reports are positive and you need rest also. Dad wouldn't like to see you ill. Also, we all are here to look after him. So, go home for now. Okay?" Rudra made her explained softly as if he was talking to a child.

"He's saying right, baby. Let's go home. You're tired." Abhimaan wiped her tears making her nod after some seconds as if she was reconsidering her decision.

Abhimaan nodded at Rudra as he took her to the elevator and making their way towards the exit.

He made her settle in the car and also sst himself in the driver seat igniting the engine.
