ASR?

It's been a year, and no one had any update about Arnav's life. They knew whatever the media showed to the world.
Yup the family of Raizada had no more access to Arnav's day to day life in London as he closed himself into his own shell.

Here in India, Gupta family were getting close to Raizada family as Arav and Sashi were soon collaborating their companies and Buaji passed the vibe check of Ratna in all aspects. Be it TV series or social gossips, both were enjoying their weekends in each other's company.

Khushi involved herself into her work more than required to forget the burning sensation her heart felt everytime she remembered Arnav.

He just abandoned her at no where. For a while, during the wedding confrontation, she thought she can convince him in giving another chance to them.. As she knew what her heart wanted and he himself once asked her not to suppress her heart. She had no idea what was he doing in London for damn one year. Everytime she tried to calculate the possibilities, her soul burned with worries and insecurities.

Even after an year of his absence, her heart never felt the same for any other men. Ever. She knew she was somewhere waiting for him to return and atleast answer her questions. And she hated herself for that.

Though she maintained respectful bond with his parents, his dadu was the one who was close to her of all Raizadas present in India.

Anirudh somewhere found his granddaughter in Khushi. For the calmness she held, for the authority her aura had. Every thing related to her screamed power. He saw his younger self in her, which he thought was only present in his grandson. The only difference being the absence of ruthlessness.

Anirudh made it a point the two families spent their weekend together and it's been the practice since a year now.

It was a normal weekend , them sitting in Gupta's mansion, chit chatting when Anirudh suddenly had an ache in his chest and he held his chest while wincing in pain. Everyone panicked and rushed to him while Khushi entered the Hall with bowls of popcorn. The tray left her hand and made a contact with floor when she saw the scene.

She immediately made him lie down while asked her father to bring the CPR equipment from her room.

Soon she started performing CPR, being well equipped, and tried to stable her dadu. Here Arav summoned his father's cardiologist and the doctor took the charge of further treatment.

Ratna was crying while buaji tried to console her. Sashi too sat at the corridor of the hospital with Arav while Khushi came back from Raizada mansion with Anirudh's previous reports.

Doctor Verma came out with a serious face making everyone tense.

Doctor... How's Dadu??

Doc:He is stable for now.... But can't assure for the rest of the days...

Khushi's breathe shallowed while Arav didn't want to understand the point.

Arav:Wh.. What do you mean doctor... He... He is strong enough.... You... You stop making stupid assumptions....

Khushi held her uncle shoulders while making him sit down and gave a quick apologies to the accused doctor.

Uncle.... Please hold your self strong.... We have to meet dadu... You can't... Can't.. Be like this in front of him...

Sashi too nodded in agreement while Ratna wailed at the fate.

Khushi again went to the doctor.

When can we meet him doctor?

Dr. :uhmm... Here is the situation Dr. Khushi... Your dadu is now stable to meet... But he doesn't want to meet anyone...

Huh?

Dr. :Actually he has clearly warned us that he won't meet anyone untill his grandson meets him in person..

Khushi went back and informed everyone the same with as much as neutral tone. While she too was breaking down at the game of fate.

Soon Arav sent the message to the London branch of AR and hoped it reached Arnav before it was too late.

London

The AR branch was silent as usual. As it has been since a year. All thanks to the CEO who barged in one day and took over everything.
Not to mention the ruthlessness and rage they were fearing of.

Their boss was clearly not a human, for the absence of basic human behavior. He was ruthless when it came to work and no one knew his personal life. Not even his assistant Suraj.

Suraj rushed to his boss's cabin as he received the message from India. Arnav was busy in some online meeting this eyed him to wait.
But suraj didn't. As he knew the message was more important to his boss than anything.

Su:Sir... It's from India..

Suraj whispered. To which he earned a deadly glare indicating him to shut up and Arnav continued his meeting.

But Suraj again took his chance while sending a quick prayer to Almighty.

Su:Anirudh Sir had heart attack this noon.

The moment words landed on his ear, Arnav felt breathing for a difficult task.

His dadu had an heart attack. Again. And now no memories of 'that night '  could stop him from returning to his home now.

Soon the Raizada flight took off from the Airport and gained it's speed towards India, where  two souls were waiting for him desperately. One was dadu and other didn't need to be named for obvious reasons.

Here Khushi consoled everyone to go to their respective home for freshening up while she and Akash stayed in the hospital. Unaware of the storm that was speeding towards her.

ASR strode towards the hospital while the scene made his blood boil and burn to ashes.
