Mere Dharma saathi - Season 1

Chapter 13: Calm Before the Storm

As Janaki, Aarav, Anusuya, and Azaad head towards the airport, the air is filled with a mix of anxiety and anticipation. Every person in the car is lost in their thoughts, knowing that the journey ahead in Spain will reveal more secrets and challenges. The weight of their past, combined with the uncertainty of their future, hangs heavy in the air.

Suddenly, Aarav's phone rings, breaking the tense silence. He glances at the caller ID, hesitates for a moment, and then picks up the call.

**Caller:**in a serious tone* "Bhai... sun, vo Nani..."

**Aarav:** *confused and concerned* "Nani? Kya hua Nani ko?"

**Caller:** *slowly, almost whispering* "Nani ab is duniya mein nahi rahi... aur ek aur baat, tu wapas mat aana. Tumhari jaan khatre mein hai."

The call abruptly ends. Aarav freezes, the phone slipping from his hand onto the seat. His eyes well up with tears as the reality of what he just heard starts to sink in.

**Anusuya:** *worried, noticing Aarav's expression* "Aarav, kya hua? Tum aise kyun dekh rahe ho?"

Aarav looks up at her, his voice breaking with emotion.

**Aarav:** *choked up* "Nani... Nani ko maar diya."

The shock of his words hits the car like a thunderclap. Anusuya covers her mouth in disbelief, tears filling her eyes. Azaad, sitting next to Aarav, clenches his fists, anger building inside him.

**Azaad:** *furious* "What? Nani ko maar diya? Yeh kaise ho sakta hai? Ab kya karna hoga?"

Janaki, though equally devastated, quickly gathers her thoughts. She knows they have to stay focused, especially with the dangers looming ahead.

**Janaki:** *calm but firm* "Azaad, hume jaldi Spain pahunchna hoga. Mujhe shak hai ki Athreya ko yeh pata chal gaya hai ki tum dono - tum aur Aarav - abhi zinda ho. Woh aur bhi aggressive ho sakta hai."

Azaad looks at Janaki, understanding the gravity of the situation. Aarav wipes away his tears, trying to regain his composure. They all know that this journey to Spain isn't just about reuniting with family-it's about survival.

As they approach the airport, the weight of the situation becomes even heavier. They board the flight, their minds racing with questions and fears. Aarav keeps replaying the words from the call in his head, but he knows he has to stay strong.

On the plane, Azaad turns to Aarav, trying to offer him some comfort.

**Azaad:** *softly* "Aarav, humein milke sab kuch theek karna hoga. Tum akele nahi ho."

Aarav nods, but his mind is far from at ease. He glances at Anusuya, who is trying to hold back her own tears. The weight of everything they've lost-and everything they still have to fight for-presses down on them.

As the plane takes off, a quiet tension fills the cabin. They are flying towards Spain, but in truth, they are flying into a storm that will challenge everything they hold dear.

**Janaki:** *thinking to herself* "Yeh sirf shuruaat hai... asli ladaai toh ab hogi."

Little do they know, their arrival in Spain will mark the beginning of a new chapter filled with even darker secrets and more dangerous enemies.
