"Like the sun spreads its light to the world selflessly, we should also spread love without expectations."The words ringed in Lakshya's ears suddenly meanwhile Aarav's went numb for a moment by seeing Lakshya alive. All the happenings were flashing in his mind. First, the pain he went through on the day of he and his sister got kidnapped; Then, the pain of his family and at last his sister's tears. The tears which were burning in his heart aroused with new energy.
"Ajju?"He mouthed again subconsciously as his mind recognized the voice.
"Aaru!"Lakshya muttered again while increasing his grip in the hug.
"Why did you run away?"Lakshya asked Aarav after breaking his hug.
Aarav gave him an expressionless look and then guided him to the river while refusing to give a verbal answer.
Lakshya looked at Aarav with a question and worry in his eyes on their way. Aarav signed Lakshya to look at his reflection on the surface of the river. Lakshya obeyed the words and looked at the river water.
With a shocked expression, Lakshya kneeled on the ground and touched his reflection on the water.
"My face was ruined..." Lakshya's words stopped in the middle by seeing his clear face on the reflection. The memories of seeing his ruined face in the hospital flashed in his eyes.
"Why did they lie to me about my face?"Lakshya thought deeply by forgetting about his location.
"Arjun bhai!"Aarav's voice sounded confident in all of sudden and dragged lakshya to the present.
"Is this your real face?"Aarav's question though it sounded genuine in general, lakshya felt a slight hatred in his voice.
"Even I don't know. Only, Atharv can answer this."Lakshya answered.
"we will move out of this place anyhow."Lakshya said and then held aarav's hand by seeing a group of strangers who were looked like villagers.
"Have you stuck here because of yesterday's fire?"One of the men from the group asked.
Lakshya nodded his head .
" We are nearby villagers. Be with us. we will lead you the way to go out of this forest."One of the men said and signed lakshya to follow them.
Lakshya took a deep breath and started to follow them by keeping a minimum distance.
At Kolkata,
The figure of aarav was made up of flour to use it for last rites as the body wasn't found. There was only Rathore family present along with swara and ayub khan. Aadi entered into the hall along with raghuvendhar while looking at armed rathore's men. On his way, though he heard their gossips about his brother's death and the upcoming war with Maheshwari clan, he remained stone faced.
"What has been decided? Revenge?"Aadi's low voice boomed because of silence.
Amarnath and Mohan looked at him like what kind of question he was asking.
"Let's stop destroying the lives, papa. I didn't come back to witness any of that."Aadi said while he tried his best to hold back his tears.
"He killed my grandson. And, do you want me to be silent even after that? How could you think like that? He is your own brother."Amarnath asked angrily.
Aadi smiled sadly.
"Who am I to you, Mr.Rathore? Am I not your grandson? Yet, you shot me, here..."Aadi pulled his shirt and in force the buttons torn down, revealing his bare chest to everyone.
