Raizada Mansion

6.05 pm

"Chotte!" Anjali cried in tears and stood up as she saw Arnav and Esha entering the mansion. Arnav looked at her alarmed hearing her tone and then at the whole family present in the living room.

"What happened di?" He asked walking towards his sister and Esha looked at others in worry. Yara was nowhere to be seen and she felt a dreadful feeling that something wasn't right.

"Yara....Yara has shut herself in" Anjali said in tears.

"Bhai" Akash stepped in, "She has locked herself inside her room right after she returned from college. No matter how much we tried, she isn't opening the door!"

Esha dropped the bag on the floor and ran up the stairs in a second. Rushing towards her sister's room she banged the door, "Yara....Yara open the door....what happened?"

Arnav followed her and he also tried, "Yara....dear please open the door!"

"YARA OPEN THE DOOR!" Esha screamed.

"Esha calm down" Arnav whispered, "Yara....listen to me. Whatever it is, we'll help you. Open the door dear. It's papa calling! Come on, open it!"

They heard a click and Yara opened the door. Esha looked at her sister in shock, finding her in a state she never thought she would see. Her hair was messy, eyes were red, tear strained cheeks but what caught her eyes was her bleeding lips and red cheeks.

"Yara" Arnav wrapped an arm around his daughter, "What happened? Who did this to you?"

Yara burst into tears and said, "Rishi"

"Rishi? Who is Rishi?" Esha asked. They took Yara inside the room and made her sit on the bed. The whole family followed them and crowded the room.

Yara buried her face in her father's chest and burst into tears. Arnav looked at others and said, "I'll talk to her!"

Everyone nodded and slowly walked out of the room but not Esha.

"Esha" Arnav sighed, "Leave"

"No" she said stubbornly, shaking her head, "I wanna know why my sister is crying and who hurt her"

"Esha" Arnav called out sternly, "Let me talk to her. Leave!"

Esha sighed and walked out.

Arnav patted Yara's back and said softly, "Now tell me. Who is Rishi and what did he do?"

Yara sat up straight and said hiccupping, "Rishi is my senior at college. He...they have a gang or something...he is the leader and everybody is scared of him."

Arnav nodded, "Okay. What did he do?"

"He was following me for a while. Last week he asked me to come to his house....for a night...." she stopped sobbing and then whispered, "I said no and then he started spreading rumours about me everywhere. Today, when I went to library....I was alone there and....he...he..." she burst out crying and Arnav hugged her sideways.

"What did he do?" Arnav asked shutting his eyes tight. His blood was boiling and he just wanted to beat the hell out of this boy named Rishi!

"He tried to....molest me. I screamed and he slapped me. Some students came by and they rescued me" Yara said slowly resting her face on her father's shoulder.

"Why didn't you tell us earlier that he was following you" Arnav asked slowly.

Yara sniffled and said, "I'm sorry....I...I didn't want to worry you and..."
