After returning back from mall Aryan straight went to his room on second floor and didn't come out until the next day's evening....
Everyone was ready when Arisha came downstairs with her dadda... They were looking like that idol father-daughter duo. Jhanvi placed small black dots behind their ear and kissed their forehead .
" Let's go..."
They all divided and sat in two cars , Aryan purposely didn't sit in the same car as Neha...
The entire ride to the venue two people were sulking , first was ofcourse Arisha because she wanted Neha to come with them and second was our little Ruhaan who was with Neha and wanted Arisha to come with them.
Soon they reached the venue , it was a big newly built grand hotel . Aryan and family skipped their appearance at the red carpet as he wants to keep his family away from limelight as much as possible.
They were provided a huge table in the centre front of the auditorium...
The ceremony started and now it was Aryan's turn to recieve his award ,when his name was called out with all the titles Arisha was the first one to start clapping...
Aryan kissed his daughter's forehead before climbing onto the stage.
He took his award and stood infront of the mic to give his speech .
" I am recieving this prestigious award since past 5 years but it's my first time being here and recieving it on my own just for my daughter... My little Angel , I love you alot beta." Aryan said and saw Arisha swaying on Kabir's lap as they both gave him thumps up which made him chuckle lowly..
Suddenly his gaze shifted and landed on the face that belongs to his wife... And just like that emotions and words flew through him.
" I had nothing 6-7 years back accept that one person by my side, my women , my life , my everything... My wife Aisha . I remember when I showed her the incomplete construction of my company which is soaring high today. She had tears in her eyes and told me how proud she was... She was , she is and she will always be my motivator , my mentor ,my biggest support... I.." Aryan felt his throat tightening in pain and he left the stage after muttering a small thank you.
Kabir gave Arisha in Jia's arm and went behind Aryan with Karan and Rishi...
The trio searched around for Aryan but couldn't find him anywhere...
" Shit..! Where did he go...!" Karan muttered pulling his hair in frustration.
They all were feeling scared , he could do anything stupid with himself at this moment.
" What if he left for home..!?"
" But we are not sure..."
Rishi tried to call on the landline of Singhania house but none of the house servants answered...
" Guys no one is picking , I will go back and check if Aryan has gone back to home." Rishi said and both Karan and Kabir nodded at him.
" I will look into the hotel then.." Kabir said .
" Ok then I will look outside the hotel and surrounding area ." Karan said and everyone despersed.
They were hell worried for him.
On the other hand the function was still going on .
" Maasi I want to use washroom.." Arisha said to Jia.
" Ok baby let's go.."
" Jia you sit , I want to use washroom as well so I will take Arisha." Neha said and Jia smiled and nodded at her.
Neha took Arisha's hand and they both went to the washroom.
After finishing their business Neha carried Arisha in her arms and they both came out of the washroom but frozed on their spot as everything was burning outside...
The huge hotel has caught fire but because of great safety measures people were escorted out but some where still struck inside and among them were Neha , Arisha , Aryan and Kabir.
Aryan after finishing his speech felt suffocated and went to the open terrace of the hotel and Kabir who was searching him in the entire hotel found him there...
Once again the past was repeating itself but this time on Aisha's place it was Neha who was extremely scared of fire.
Neha was frozen on her place and started having panic attack , Arisha started crying hugging Neha tightly who was sitting on the floor crying and breathing heavily.
" HELP...!!! HELP...!!!" Arisha started yelling hoping somebody hear her cries and save them.
Aryan and Kabir who somehow managed to get out of the hotel started searching for their family... They found them at a distance.
They were crying and some people were holding back Jhanvi , Aditi and Jia who were trying to go inside.
Aryan and Kabir ran to them , Jhanvi saw Aryan and ran to her son.
" Maa... Maa calm down..."
" Ar..Aryan Arisha... Arisha and Neha are inside." She told him crying loudly.
Aryan was mortified hearing her.
" Kabir take care of them.." he said and rushed inside pushing the people away who tried to stop him.
He straight went to the auditorium which was burning badly because of the curtains and decoration but didn't found them.
That's when he heard faint voice of someone's cry for help and he knew it's his daughter...
Aryan ran in the direction not caring about himself.
He felt a gush of blood through his veins as he finally saw the two of them. He ran to them and hugged both of them tightly...
" Dad..da.." Arisha said coughing and passed out in his arms , she has inhaled alot of smoke .
" Aisha... Aisha...! Look at me.." he shook Neha by her shoulder and made her look at himself.
His heart clenched seeing her shivering lips and tear stained face , it didn't take him long to figure out that she was having a panick attack...
" We have to get out of here.." he said looking deep in his eyes and clutching an unconscious Arisha to his chest.
Neha tried her best to keep up with Aryan...
After struggling for a while finally they were out.
Neha passed out once they were out and Aryan was extremely dizzy...
