17- I Desire Her

The car came to a halt, and Anirvaan, lost in his thoughts, didn't immediately register the change. Abhiram, who was driving, turned off the engine and glanced at his brother. 

Anirvaan's gaze seemed distant, as if he were grappling with something profound.

Anirvaan: Gaadi kyun roki?

Abhiram: (softly said) Bhai, Manish ka ghar aa gaya hai.

Anirvaan slowly nodded, acknowledging the information. Manish got out of the car, leaving the two brothers alone.

Manish: Anirvaan, take rest for a few days, okay? No need to come for shooting

Manish suggested, expressing concern. Anirvaan continued to gaze outside, silent, contemplating the recent events. 

He nodded again, a silent agreement to the idea of taking a break.

Manish saying thanks to Abhiram headed to his house. 

Anirvaan remained in the car, still lost in his thoughts, as Abhiram drove them towards the Shekhawat mansion.

The Shekhawat mansion was immersed in a late-night quiet, with Amay sitting in the hall, engrossed in the television. 

The peaceful ambiance was disrupted when Abhiram and Anirvaan returned. Amay, concerned, glanced at Anirvaan, who appeared lost in his thoughts.

Amay: Kaha se aa rahe ho tum dono?

He questioned, curious about their late-night venture.

Abhiram: (responded casually) Aur aap abhi tak jaag kyun rahe ho?

Amay: (with a hint of annoyance, retorted) Sawal pehle maine poocha hai.

Abhiram: (deflecting the question about Anirvaan for the moment, teased) Aree aap mohalle wali aunty ki tarah kyun sawaal pooch rahe ho.

Rolling his eyes, Amay redirected his attention to Anirvaan, inquiring

Amay: Isse kya hua hai?

Abhiram: (evading the details, replied) Baad mein batata hoon.

Anirvaan excused himself and left the hall.

Amay: (pressed Abhiram for an explanation) Chal ab bata 

Abhiram: Papa baad mein batata hoon na abhi muhje bahut neend aa rahi hai aur aapko bhi sona chahiye varna aapki suman ko kisi aur ke sapne aayenge agar aap nahi gaye toh

Amay looked horrified at his son and left from there

Abhiram chuckles at his father's reaction and goes to his room to change.

In his room, Abhiram contemplated discussing the incident with Anirvaan, sensing the impact it had on his brother. 

He decided that a conversation was necessary to address the underlying emotions.

Drishya's POV

Lying on my mother's lap, I allowed the gentle strokes of mother's hand to calm the storm within me.

The events of the day unfolded like a tumultuous symphony in my mind, each note resonating with a mix of fear, relief, and gratitude.

Amidst the chaos, Mr. Shekhawat emerged as a guiding force — a knight in shining armor who defied the darkness that threatened to engulf me. 

His fearless intervention, the sound of his fists colliding with the perpetrators, and the unwavering strength he projected had left an indelible mark on my shaken spirit.
