Pranav's pov

I came over to pick my pendrive i left In the living room when i was talking to daadi. Aarav, Aditi, and Janvi was there and she said "I'm akdu...seriously being quite means I'm akdu...and khadus.. isn't that has the same meaning. I don't know what's wrong with her language." i thought to myself.

"Aap" she said in shock when she saw me morever when she realised i was there.
"Ha mein. Continue what were you saying" i went and sat on the couch in front of her.

"I'm not afraid of you. I was just sayin the truth" she blabbered. "me to bs inko bata rahi thi aap jese khadus insan ke sath kisi ka kuch nahi chal sakta..aur mera to bilkul bhi nahi"
( I was just telling them that no one can have anything with a selfish person like you..and definitely not with me.)

Aarav and Aditi gasped, their hands to their mouths in shock. No one had ever dared to speak to me like that before.

I raised my voice, my words laced with rage. "As if I'm dying to have something with you. And what's up with your language?"

Just then, Dadi walked into the room, concern etched on her face. "Kya hua, Kyu chilla raha hai bechari par?"
(What happened, Why are you shouting at her?)

I glared at janvi, then looked at dadi "she's not bechari" i said.

"I'm definitely not," she said.
"But what happened" dadi questioned. The siblings duo started to tell her the whole thing.

Daadi laughed "daadi aap has rahi hai" i looked at her.
"Ar nahi to kya. Sahi to kehri hai janvi" she stood beside her.

"Are you her grandmother or mine?" I asked my voice laced with a hint to hurt.
She came towards me " Bacho ki tarah mat bano! Tere liye hi to main hoon" (Don't be like a child. I'm your grandmother, I'm here only for you).

I smiled, feeling a surge of love and affection. Aditi and Aarav moved closer, and we all shared a warm group hug, with her at the center.

Janvi watched us, a soft smile on her face. But as she gazed at us, her eyes began to well up with tears. She turned to leave, her voice barely above a whisper. "I think I've....a call"

I noticed her moist eyes. But she was already gone.

"Yes, Schedule the meeting with Mr. Khanna tomorrow" i confirmed my secretary. "And tell everyone to be prepared with the presentation. 'Eclipse' have to be a huge success".

"Are you working on a new project Pranav" Mr. Malhotra asked.
"I'm not bothered to tell you anything." I replied not looking at him.
"I'm your father."
"I don't accept you as my father". I made my way to my room.

As I was walking i saw something was on the floor outside the room located beside mine. Which was now hers. I picked it up " it's her earring". Did she drop it? I thought
