"Am I important?" He asked me and turned around

"Am I important?" He asked me and turned around. He was looking at me with so innocene, his brown eyes was shining.

"You are, darling," I mumbled and laid down on the bed. "Why? You don't even know me," he said and looked confused.

I took a deep breath as he was making it harder for me to control.

"I do, Rudra, I do know you. Please, don't ask any more questions, right now," I pleaded, after so many years, I pleaded. My voice was sounding so vulnerable.

But I don't care on that time and I knew, I won't regret that. Would I?

He nodded. Just a nod.

"Veer, what's happening to...me?" He asked me suddenly after the silence of few good minutes. "What is it?" I asked him as I moved away from him, already missing his warmth.

He chuckled and said, "I don't know, I just don't know. Why am I not moving away when you just touched me and do not deny that it was normal,"

His voice came out hard and cold in the end. I gulped. "To be honest Rudra, I also have no idea," I replied. Lie.

He looked at me with questionable eyes and why won't he, my voice wasn't that confident as it usually was.

Before anyone of us would make a move his phone rang. Bhai saa. I peaked in his phone from the corner of my eyes.

"Jii Bhai saa," he said as soon he picked up the call.
(Yes, brother)

He stayed quite for few minutes and than said, "I'll be there in few minutes," and hanged up the call. His hands were shivering, I could see the sweat forming on his forehead.

"Hey, hey what happened?" I asked him before he would lost his sense. "Veer... Mishthi...." he mumbled and immediately got up.

He ran out of the room and I quickly took my phone and followed him. "Rudra," I yelled and he immediately stopped. "I'll drop you," I said and took the key of my thar.

"To the mansion," he mumbled and I nodded and we both settled in the thar and I drove to the mansion. I could feel his getting angry and shivering because of it.

Soon, we reached the mansion and he immediately ran in. I also ran behide him after handing the key to the guard.

"Bhai saa," Rudra screamed which made me confused as he never raised his voice at his brother. "Lower your voice, Rudra. Abhishek had no idea about it," his father said in his calm tone which made Rudra shut.

"How the heck this happened then?" Rudra asked to Abhishek who was engrossed in his laptop, typing aggressively.

"Bhai saa, tell me, please," Rudra pleaded which made Abhishek stop his work and looked at Rudra. "Someone hacked Arjun's laptop," Abhishek replied and I walked towards him.

"What's happening?" I asked Abhishek and looked at the laptop screen where there was a video playing which made my blood boil.

It was Rudra, lying on a bed, maybe intoxicated, he wasn't in his senses, when someone walked in the room. Two people.

The girl dimmed the lights and get on top of Rudra and....I can't freaking watch the video.

"Someone posted this on company's website," Abhishek mumbled in his cold tone which send shiver down to my spine. I looked at Rudra who was about to broke down.

He turned his heels and walked towards his chamber. "I'll check upon him," I said to his father and ran behide him.

"Rudra, Rudra wait," I yelled and held him by his shoulders. "Leave me, Veer," he said in emotionless tone. He jerked my hands away and walked in his room.

He was about to lock his door but I put my foot between them and walked in. "What's wrong with you?" He screamed at my face.

I just quietly locked the door and held his arm, dragging him to his bed. I made him sit on it and I sat in front of him, on my knees.

"Look at me, darling," I whispered softly. He just shook his head trying to control his feelings.

He bite his bottom lip to stop himself from crying. "Crying won't make any difference in the situation, Rudra. I don't know what happened and I don't want to know. But if you are not wrong than you shouldn't cry," I tried to explain to him.

"But that happened with me. How can I not let it affect me? How can I just stop myself from crying? Whoever did that wanted this nah. They fucking posted that on the company's website with a caption 'this is the new CEO of SR enterprise, fucking PEOPLE'," he said while tearing were flowing from his eyes.

I don't know, what happened in that video. Before and after it. But I knew one thing, he didn't do anything wrong.

"Shh Shh look at me," I said and held his face in my palms and softly brushed my thumbs on his cheeks, he leaned in my touch which made me feel so terribly good, he was seeking emotional support from me.

"You didn't do anything wrong. Me and your whole family are there for you. Your brother is trying his best to find things," I said and softly patted his cheek and made his lay down.

"Sleep and no more arguments," I said to him and took his phone with me. I walked towards Abhishek's office.

"What's happening, Abhi? That video, who was that two people?" I asked him and his reply made me feel so furious.
