Khwaish

Prologue

20 years ago

A husband and a wife were at ends on a stormy night. One was tied because of his selfish family and the other was because of her promise. Her promise to her love.

"Tum maan kyu nai rhi ho, ahana. You have to leave before she gets to know about the baby. Tum usko risk mei nai dal sakti ho" said a very emotional Kunal. It was killing him to be away from his love, his Ahana. "Mei apne baccho ko akela kaise chod sakti hu. Wo chote hai. Kairu bas 2 saal ka hai. Or or  kavu 6 saal ka. And mera guroor Kartik wo toh bas 9 saal ka hai. Tum hi batao mei kaise chod ke jau unhe" a sobbing ahana replied.

Lightening was striking in the background as if relaying all the emotions between them. It was as if the nature was also feeling their pain.
"Mumma" a small voice gasped. It was none other than little Kairav. He woke up feeling scared as he couldn't find his mumma or deda. "Kairu deda bas aarhe. Ap jao bhaiya ke pas wo Bhai ke room mei hi hai" Kunal said in a gentle voice. "Nooooo" Kairav yelled. He didn't want to leave his mumma. It was terrifying for the little soul. "Kairav Roy Kapoor, you will go to your room this instant or else I'll lock you up" Kunal's voice boomed making little Kairav flinch.

"Papa kya hua? What did kairu do?" asked younger Kartik. "Nothing beta, take kairu and kavu to your room and don't come till your papa comes okay" said Ahana as she didn't want them to see her leaving. Her heart couldn't bear breaking her children's hearts.  "Mumma mumma I wanna sweep with you" Kairav cried. Ahana crouched and cupped her baby's face in a gentle voice she said, "Baby mumma will sleep with you next time okay, tonight you sleep with your bhaiya okay". Kartik was in deep thought because his mother didn't say tomorrow, she said next time. His innocent mind couldn't process what she meant but he knew something was wrong.

It was becoming harder and harder for Ahana to leave. She didn't want to but she has to for the life inside her. She could not bring any harm to that innocent soul. She was determined but that didn't mean it wasn't hurting. Kunal noticed her dilemma. "Kartik take Kairav to your room right now!" Kunal said in a stern voice. Kartik knew he couldn't defy him, so he silently took a sobbing Kairav with him. He turned and saw Ahana crying and Kunal hugging her. He knew something was wrong. But what could he do? He left with his youngest brother.

"It's time Ahana, you have to leave. Dev will drop you to the airport and uske bad you will take his plane and reach your destination. You will not contact me or anyone related to me. Today is the last time we are talking or seeing each other. Remember one thing, Kunal Roy Kapoor will always love Ahana Roy Kapoor. I love you, love. Please be strong for our baby. We need to do this" Kunal said while connecting his forehead with hers. "I know. Please take care of our children and yourself. I will give this little angel everything in the world. Please say sorry to Kartik, Kairav and Kavin. I know they will hate-" "they can never hate you. Okay, you are their mother. Don't say all this. You have to go now. Dev is here. I'll miss you shona." Kunal said as he kissed her for the last time. He was savoring each and every moment as he knew it will his last moments with his love. "Bye Kunal." Ahana choked on her tears. She turned to leave as the view of her home was fading moment by moment. She vowed to protect her baby from evil even if she has to die for him or her.
