DQ#1 Thousand Reasons Why

The Dark Chapters

Aradhya's POV

" What happened?" I asked Dad. He sighed deeply.

" Your mom is taken to the OT. See, how Jacob is acting?" Dad asked me and I sighed deeply.

" Doctor said that everything is ok and it will be a normal delivery. She has to go through this." I said to him.

" Yes. But who will convince Jacob about it?" Dad asked me.

" I can understand." I said.

" You came from the studio?" He asked me.

" Yes. I was done with my stuffs then Asher called me. The girls will be here any soon." I said to him. He nodded.

" Where are Asher and Ardeyn?" I asked him.

" They went to arrange the donor if your mom needs blood later." He said and I sighed deeply.

" Ari!!" I found Melanie.

" Come, have a seat." I said to her and she sat next to me quietly.

" How is Shivu doing?" She asked me.

" I just have come awhile back, Melanie. But she is taken to the OT." I said.

" What happened to Jacob?" She asked me weirdly.

" He is crazy. You stay with them. Don't you know that?" I asked her and she chuckled shaking her head.

" True. Anyway, what has the doctor said, Mr. Malhotra?" She asked Dad.

" He said everything is normal. But as we know Jacob would have acted abnormal anyways." Dad said.

" True." Melanie said shaking her head looking at Jacob. I sighed.

" How was your work?" I asked Melanie.

" I was in meeting with my sponsors. I somehow finished the meeting and came to the hospital. I almost had an accident." She said to me and I shook my head. Dad chuckled.

" What had the sponsors said?" Dad asked her.

" They agreed to invest in my business." She said and he nodded.

" Great then. Congratulations!!!" He said.

" Congratulations, Melanie. I am so proud of you." I said and she chuckled.

" I am so proud of myself as well." She said and I chuckled.

" Ariiiiiiiii!!!" I heard Jacob. I sighed deeply. He find me now.

" Relax, Jacob. Everything is going to be ok." I said to him.

" When have you come?" He asked me.

" Just awhile back and stop worrying. Everything is ok." I said to him but he was not getting convinced. " If you act like this I will ask the doctors to give you an anesthesia. Mark my words." I said and he sighed deeply. I shook my head.

" You know what happened in the studio?" I asked him.

" I am not in mood to talk about anything now, Ari. Let's talk about it later." He said.

" Just listen to me. It's urgent." I said and hold his hand making him sit next to me.

" Ok, what is that?" He asked me and I chuckled.

" Our recording company Crystal Coast inc. is owned by two siblings Harvey and Monica." I said. He nodded. " Recently they had a fight with each other and Monica sold her share to their undying enemy. Now, Harvey is going to file a case against Monica cause she has broken the contract between them. So, they are trying to solve the issue now. They tried to make an out of court settlement but nothing worked. May be this issue will be on court any soon. Are you interested in this case?" I asked him.

" Why can't they agree with an out of court settlement?" He asked me.

" Cause, none of them are not going to compromise. Besides, the people Monica has sold her shares is not ready to return her back in the same amount that they had brought the shares." I said to him and he nodded.

" If they reach me then I will definitely handle the case. Tell them to contact my office. My PA will note down everything." He said.

" I want you to handle this personally. Our 2nd album is on way. We already finished most of the works. If the works stops in between now it will be very depressing." I said to him and he nodded.

" If you say then I will definitely handle it myself." He said.

" Yes. This is urgent, Jacob." I said and he wrapped his arm around my shoulder.

" Don't worry. I am still alive." He said and I hugged him. I was successful in diverting his mind for now. I winked at Dad and he chuckled.

" Mr. Bradley!!!" We heard the doctor saying.

" Everything ok, doctor?" Dad asked the doctor cause Jacob was shivering. I kept hugging him tightly. The doctor chuckled.

" Both mother and the child are safe and sound. You can see her in awhile." The doctor said.

" My brother!!!" I squealed. "Congratulations, Jacob!!" I hugged her and he hugged me back. I patted his back. " You really deserve to be with my mother, Jacob. I always wanted someone like you for my mother to be with her." I said and he chuckled as I wiped his tears.

They went to see my Mom and brother. I was following them when I found Asher and Ardeyn.

" Where are Kentworth and the girls?" Ardeyn asked me. I rolled my eyes.

" They are on the way. I came earlier." I said to him.

" How are you feeling having a sibling, Ari?" He asked wrapping his arm around my shoulder. I smiled.

" I am so happy. Let's go and see Shuvham." I said to him.

" Shuvham?" He got confused.

" My brother." I said and Asher chuckled.

" But you said that you want to name your brother Aarav." He said.

" I don't want to do that anymore." I said to him.

" Why is that?" He asked me.

" I want to name that to my son in future." I said to him and Asher whose eyes were glued on the phone screen looked at me at once then looked back at the phone again. I rolled my eyes. Ardeyn laughed.

" Shut up!!" Asher said and I chuckled.

We entered the cabin and everyone was busy with Shuvham. I took him from Jacob. He was so cute. I hold his tiny little hands and kissed on them. He was just like a little doll. So soft like candy floss. I have tons of pet names ready for my brother already. I turned to see my mother who was looking at us smilingly with tears in her eyes.

" I name my brother Shuvham Jadon Bradley." I said and Jacob wrapped his arm around my shoulder.

" I love the name." Mom said and I chuckled.

I was looking at the baby. I always wanted to have a sibling. I have him now. I have everything that I needed in my life. Juliet was right. Things are falling into the right place now. It started from the day I locked the dark chapters of my life.
