Khushi felt restless she stood near the window,moon light pouring over the vast pool..!!

She stood idle.. gazing directly at simmering swimming pool.

New Raizada mansions.

Two homes, entirely different from eachother , not anything remotely like  shantivan, this is all one in line of Arnavs own property.

First house was built by Arjun Singh Raizada, He was not comfortable with Raizada haweli-shantivan,so after his marriage he and his wife Arpita Ghosh shifted to here. A simple  elegant and classy banglow inspired from Greek revival architecture.

The second one was Arnavs,he built that one, A complete opposite to  all cliche house ideology. A contemporary art style.

Both  houses connected with a sprawling reflecting pool. They are facing eachother. Two homes two faces.

The night was thickened with clouds.. Khushi stood behind the big window, she's back to Raizadas. She's not unaware of Arnav,a shard of unwelcome reality pierced her brain.
Arnav is more dangerous than Akash.

Arnav..
Arnav Singh Raizada..
Life happened to him too..
too macho..
too powerful..
The aura around him vibrate with arrogance and power...
Gone  that charming playboy,an irresistible charmer, a seducer  which she experienced with,

five years is long period... gone that boyish Arnav... gone that teasing look.. gone that sparkling eyes.

Arnav,her momentarily prince charming...a fictional prince.!

Arnav, his mere presence causes her bad,her heart races like supersonic.. she had never experienced that type of insane savage with anyone but Arnav.
A blur... their insanity is a residue of her blurred past.

He's asking ,no,he's hell bent to make her life miserable.. his outrageous remarks about she owing him a son was like last nail on her coffin.

What more she had to suffer...?

What's with this Raizada man.. what caused their obsession with male progeny, a sinful cult of Indian society and their obsession with male child.

A male heir that's all mattered, to them producing a son become their obsession. For Akash, she was baby making machine..he was not a man but animal , she loathe him with her life.

Resting back against the edge of bedstand her dark eyes clouded.
She knew too well about how much arrogant this Raizada man's are, they are skilled ,fair or foul they will thrive to achieve their goal.

But this time she won't become another pawn, another pawn  of another Raizada man.

Arnav maybe still missing his wife.. he lost his baby along with his wife,a true tragedy, unlike Akash he was a caring husband, that the hype media's highlighted about him.. the press called them power couples..

Lavanya kashyap and Arnav Singh Raizada.

those high class parties..those business dinners.. exotic vacations, charity balls, their candid pictures...it had been splashed all over the media surface.. especially in social media platforms, Lavanya was a high end model, and she was celebrated all over the social media,

In that time, arnav had been awarded as best young entrepreneur of the year... that stage was an outstanding show of their picture perfect life..

******************************

Khushi sighed, she  saw their togetherness in pictures.. she kept updates with Raizadas, through online,  a silent invisible stalker... but not a obsessive one.. she kept a low-key affair.

She stalked Raizadas,god knows why, but she did.. now she was glad her harmless Stalking provided her  about Akashs colourful glamorous life.

He was a wealthy,free bird.. never  he tried to communicate with his daughter's..

Akash was not only a bad husband, but also a worse father.
His long array of girlfriends or mistresses were not secretive or  hidden..he made it public like it's an achievement,he loved his bad lime light dearly.

Again,it was his life, she was barred him from her life..he might be  father of her daughters but he was never been there for them.. Akash missed their first cry, first smile, their first steps, first birthday.. nothing  mattered to him.

Her babies,
They survived without father, they can certainly survive without a father, in future too.

Still Aditi and anvi do know their Indian origin..they know their language.. she doesn't want her babies suffer, like her.. the vulnerable side of her life.. she was naive without any anchor.. but for her daughters she will be their anchor, they have her..!!

**********. **********

Uniformed attendants quickly appeared everywhere, circling the tables with tea and snacks.

Khushi looked at the lawyer, Akashs attorney Mr. jha , Shyam Manohar jha.pointedly tapping the thick document in front of him.

"It's says Akash Singh Raizada made his will, his daughters guardianship goes to his brother Arnav Singh Raizada,as I have it here black and White.. his will, Arnav Singh Raizada is is responsible for his daughters well beings..he uphold his brother's integrity.."

Khushi sat in a stunned silence, she had lived with this fear, she was certain of akashs ploy... something like this would happen...she doesn't want his money or assets.. she was lucky enough to survive without them, but this 'will' .

"But why on earth... when I am here as their mother.."

For a moment she knew why and what.. Khushi felt her stomach drop like puddle..wrinkling her brows she stared at the thick document.. leafing through the document Shyam looked back to Arnav.

Arnav ,who is dressed in a sharply tailored charcoal grey suit with an ice white shirt , black and silver stripped tie.. looked so much for another business acquisition.

"Mr. Akash Singh Raizada stipulated that  his financial aid,that means allowance, should be directly deposited to his daughters .. through their appointed guardian.. that is Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada,"

"Apparently he left everything on Arnav's hand, rather than his wife's,..I must say a wise decision..."

The lawyer concluded with a wry smile. He was the one who registered this 'will'.

Agitated Khushi left her chair, this is insane . she now know it was unwise to become emotionally involved with Raizadas. After spending almost two years with Akash, she knew how hazardous they are.
Brushing hands together she shows her side of agitation.

"Am sorry..mrs. Raizada.. but it's how it works.... And he left you some of his money..in your account.. Mrs.Raizada you can have them.."

Jha diverted his voice,his voice anything was, but bored may be ,or tired but not sorry, he helped himself to a generous glass of iced tea.he shook his head as he sip the liquid.
She could feel Arnav's cold gaze fixed on her.his icy cold gaze.

"I don't want his  sympathetic money..Mr. lawyer..I am capable of myself...do one favour.. and don't address me as Mrs Raizada,am not..am Khushi Diwan.. not Raizada.."

She had lost her chance  when that vile of man refused to fill divorce..!

but not this time.. not anymore.. To make matters worse Akash left everything on his brothers hand.. she glanced over Arnav ,readying herself for a fight.

He owes everything..!!
Including her daughter's future.

Eying  lawyer once more Khushi stomped out.
No matter what,she is and she will be the parent of her daughters .. she's their mother, Akashs appointed guardian can go to hell..!

And no law can break the bond of mother and her babies.
