     Aryan told about his accident to his friends as if it wasn't a big deal... Well he wasn't aware of the big deal in the first place.

    After that Karan and Kabir both gave them earful which without any objection both Aryan and Aisha heard.

     " Karan you stay with this idiot , I will go and buy something for him... Aishu come with me , I will need help." Kabir said and Aisha nodded.

     Karan and Aryan talked about few things and how they were managing things...

    " Yaar Aryan what about the project you were working on back then...!?"

     " I was working on it because back then I had my own investment to make into that project and right now in this situation I don't have a penny let alone an investment..."

     " You moron I am still here ,I will make investment in your project..."

     " Karan you know it will require a huge amount and I am not confident enough that my project is reliable enough to spend so much on it..."

     " Fuck you jerk...! I said I will do the investment and if your project doesn't succeed then let's go broke together and beg on the road side by side." Karan said and Aryan laughed.

    " Stop hanging out with Kabir , you sound so much like him..."

    " Forget him , tell me are you in..!? "

     " I need some time , I will think and tell you..."

     " Good , it better be yes and moreover you need time to grow back a spine..." Karan teased and both joked , talked and laughed.

      Meanwhile Kabir took Aisha to the nearby cafe and they settled on a corner table...

     Well Aisha knew Kabir has brought her here to interrogate her , even though they don't share same blood but their connection is deeper then anything.

     " Now tell me everything..." He asked sitting beside her.

     Aisha looked at him and started telling Kabir everything, she was pouring her heart out infront of her brother... How she found herself lonely , how she was refused any help from Singhania house and how she finally managed to arrange the remaining 1.5 lakh.

      Kabir was numb and felt his eyes burning.... He balled his hand in a fist to control his emotions and hugged Aisha who finally let all her sorrow in her brother's arm.

    " I... I am so ash..med to not be the..re for you when you need..ed me the most. I promi...sed Neelam Aunty tha..t I will protect you but.... I am not wo..rth of bei..ng your brot..her . " Kabir said with his trembling voice.

    " No Bhai please..." Aisha said pulling away still crying like a baby.

      After half an hour they went back and Kabir has purchased few healthy things that will help Aryan recover soon and also juice packs and meds .

     Kabir and Aisha returned back and went to Aryan after placing the things in the kitchen.

     Kabir gave a brand new phone to Aryan and one to Aisha , Aryan tried to refute but when Kabir didn't reply to him he kept quite...

      " Have you two exchanged souls or something...!?" Aryan asked after a while.

     " Here Karan you were cursing me like this idiot and now look he has turned mute like you..."

     " Come on Kabir don't be angry with them anymore... Moreover Aishu was alone and we should understand her state of mind too. "

     Kabir nodded and looked at Aryan and Aisha with moist eyes.

     " I have to go back to London tomorrow as mom's treatment is still going on but... If this time you guys need anything or any help use that fucking phone to call me or I have put 20 more numbers dial any of them... "

     " Now he seems normal.." Aryan joked earning a glare from Kabir instantly.

    After another hour they both left...

    " Rest for sometime..." Aisha said helping Aryan to lay down.

    " You also rest with me.."

    " Hmm..."

     Aisha lied beside him and soon drifted into deep slumber. She was having a peaceful sleep after days and her tired body was relieved...

    Aryan was still looking at her innocent face , he caressed her cheeks lovingly and planted a kiss there before putting his arm on her waist and closing his eyes.

     Aisha directly woke up in the late evening , she opened her tired eyes and saw her husband looking at her with a loving smile....

    She smiled at him and sat up , her eyes went to the small clock in their room and it was showing 7 pm...

     " Oh shit how did I sleep so much..."

    " Relax biwi..."

    " What relax huh..! it will be your medicine time soon and I haven't cooked anything yet." She went inside the bathroom not hearing what Aryan has to say .

     Aisha hurriedly cooked a light meal and served it in a plate and came out of the kitchen only to find her husband going towards the living room while taking support of the surrounding things and walls.

      She ran to the living room and started scolding him...

    " Are you even listening to me Aryan...!" Aisha said angrily when after hearing a long lecture from her he was still smiling.

      " Biwi don't you want to perform karva chauth Puja... The moon is already shining outside." He said and Aisha stopped blabbering.

    She went towards the entrance door and opened it , indeed the moon was shining into their house through their door.

     " I will bring the plate..." She said and went inside and decorated a simple plate with needed and necessary things.

     Even though she insisted that he remains seated but he refused and stood at the door entrance support himself with the help of the door frame.

     Aisha performed the puja and Aryan made her drink water...

    " Now sit with me and eat something..."

     They fed each other and went back to their bedroom.

     Aisha adjusted the blanket and lied beside Aryan who put his one hand on her waist...

    " Aisha..."

    " Hmm..." She hummed playing with his shirt's button.

    " If Karan and Kabir didn't knew about my accident then how did you manage the expense...!?" Aryan asked .

   " I... I just did... It doesn't matter , all matters is you are fine."

    " Tell me Aisha , I have the right to know... Don't I..!?" He asked in an authorised tone that made Aisha sigh and she decided to tell him only about the 50k or else he will keep pestering her and she doesn't want to lie to him , she hates it...

     " Maa has kept her gold mangalsutra in her cupboard and I sold it..." She said in a tiny whisper.

    " You did what...!?? "

    " Look Aryan if maa was with us today I am sure she would have done the same for her Ayu baba.... So don't think too much ok." She said cupping his right cheek.

     Aryan's eyes moisten after hearing how his wife managed to pay his hospital bills...
