Beneath the manor's Veil..

Aryan and Arisha to return back to India...

Author's pov

    The next day Arisha woke up early feeling really hot , she immediately sat up and checked Aryan's forehead by her tiny hands and her eyes widen... Her dadda was burning in high fever.

     She ran out of the room to find her mamu but in the way she bumped into Neha who was coming upstairs after her yoga section.

     Neha held Arisha before the little girl fell down.

    " Angel baacha why are you running..?"

    " Aunty my dadda has high fever.." Arisha said worriedly.

    Neha picked Arisha in her arms and calmed the little girl first.

    " It's ok baby... Let's check your dadda."  Neha went to Aryan's room with Arisha in her arms.

   She placed Arisha beside Aryan and checked his temperature with the back of her hand... She felt something weird and retrieved her hand immediately.

      " Aunty my dadda will be ok right..." Arisha asked worriedly.

    " Ye..yeah baby. Wait here only I will come back.." Neha went out and took deep breathes and shrugged all the things that was coming in her head.

    She went downstairs made a sandwich and picked fever meds from her room and came back...

    " We have to feed something to your dadda before this meds." She told Arisha who nodded her head and tried feeding her dadda the sandwich on her own.

    " Baby wait he might chock like that..." Neha said and sat on the bed.

    She licked her dry lips before hesitantly moving her one hand under Aryan's neck and another on his chest... As Aryan was awake but felt really weak to open his eyes followed whatever was told to him...

     Neha supported him on her one shoulder and told Arisha to feed him.

     " Eat..." She said softly in his ear and Aryan chewed on the sandwich slowly.

    After finishing the sandwich Neha and Arisha helped him in taking meds with water...

     Neha was about to laid him back when Aryan snaked his arm around her waist and kept his head on her chest from her shoulder... Neha went stiff because of his action and felt really weird.

     She shook her head and was about to remove his head from her chest when she saw a lone tear slipping from his closed eyes . She felt her heart clenching in pain seeing him like that...

    Neha wiped his tear and kissed his forehead... She didn't even think what she was doing , it was just like an instinct or her subconscious mind.

    She relaxed her back against the bed and closed her eyes as Arisha has also slept keeping her head on her lap.

     After sometime she opened her eyes when Aryan stirred in his sleep and that's when Neha payed attention on their sleeping position... Taking it as an apportunity she freed herself from his arms ,laid him properly and placed Arisha's head on the pillow and left the room.

     Arisha also woke up after an hour and looked around but didn't found Neha , she was disappointed... Arisha checked Aryan and his fever seemed to have gone down alot.

     She jumped down from the bed and went to Jia and Kabir ,she told them about Aryan as they got worried she informed that Neha took care of him and now her dadda was fine.

    Kabir didn't go to office that day and discussed their upcoming project with Pranav in the mansion itself... He also told Pranav that he and his family will be moving back to their house but Pranav requested them to stay.

     " I am always busy and Ruhaan only has Neha with him but since you people came he is much more happier and lively... Please stay here only ." Pranav requested and Kabir agreed as there wasn't any harm if Ishani and Arisha has a good friend to play , also he gets to see Neha who looks just like his sister  Aishu...

    Even though Kabir knows that Neha is not Aisha but he can't help it but treat her like his sister... like Aisha.

     Aryan was fine by the evening and told Kabir that he is going back to India with Arisha...

    " But Aryan-"

    " I will take care of her properly this time... I know I have been careless about many thing-"

    " And one of them is your health.." Kabir said with a heavy sigh.

   " That's all secondary , now I want to take care of Arisha as much as I can.."

    " That's not secondary thing Aryan...! You have been drinking so much since past few years that not drinking one day caused you your health... What if something happened to you..! Bro stop all this shit...!" Kabir said angrily.

    " If I won't drink then her memories  won't let me sleep and anyways I don't have any wish to live a long life either..." Aryan said with a casual attitude and Kabir punched him in the stomach not harshly though.

     " You crazy bastard...! Do whatever you want."

    " Ok then I will book my and Arisha's flight to India for tomorrow evening.."

     Saying that Aryan went to his room , he didn't look around afraid that he will catch a glimpse of Neha... Yeah the reason he wants to leave as soon as possible is Neha , even though his heart says that it's Aisha but was it possible...!? The answer echoed was no and Aryan couldn't bare to stay near her anymore.

     On the other hand Arisha who was coming to her dadda and mamu heard their conversation and got sad and left for her room.

    Ruhaan was looking  for Arisha everywhere and lastly found her in the balcony of her room...

    She looked upset which made Ruhaan more sad then her, he went and sat near her...

    " Hey Ari why are you looking sad..!?" He asked in a demanding tone and she gave him an annoyed look.

   " Ok ok I am sorry for my tone ,now tell me why are you sad and who made you sad...? " He asked this time lovingly though.

    " Ruhaan... Me and Dadda are going back to India tomorrow." Arisha said and Ruhaan's eyes widen almost comically.

    " What...!! But why Ari..?"

    " What do you mean why , idiot my home is in India so I am going back.." she said with annoyance.

    " But I will miss you so much..." Ruhaan said making a sad face and an idea popped in Arisha's head.

    All the wheels in her head rolled , if she somehow convinces Ruhaan to come with them then definitely Neha will come with them to India as well... Arisha made a sadder face and held Ruhaan's both hands in her.

    " I will miss you more then anything too Ruhaan..." That's It little Ruhaan melted and hugged Arisha.

    " Please don't be sad Ari... I will tell dad that I want to go to India." He said and Arisha pulled away with a big smile which Ruhaan adored .

     " Really...! But what if your dad doesn't agree..!?" She asked with disappointment.

    " Ah ha... Don't get sad and keep smiling , about dad I will make him agree by hook or by crook..." He said thinking something in his small capacity brain.

    " Ok.."
