Rajesh sighed before looking at his son retreating figure. His chest swelled in proud, the confidence in Avyan eyes roared the belief he kept on himself. He still couldn't come out from the daze that his son actually talked to him after ten years. There might be something important that made Avyan to talk to him. Though he knew that Avyan talked to him for self profit, yet as a craving father who expected just a talk without any hatred look from his only son is indeed something that couldn't be expounded in words. 

His heart ache that his son doesn't have time to listen his side, who assumed his every action as erroneous. Shruthi, was his expired wife best friend. Rajesh and Anita were best friends from childhood  and eventually they both fell in love and married. Everything was good till that night. Shruthi were drunk, and she was not in her own sense. Being a businessman, he had many rivals and they decided to down his business by attacking his personal life. When he was returning from his office at midnight, he received one call from an unknown number saying that shuruthi was in road and she was drugged.

He could have doubted, but as a gentleman that time what all he could think was dropping Shruthi back in her home safely. Shruti father and mother passed away when she was fifteen, so it was only her in home. He was left with no choice but to carry her inside the house. And It didn't take time for his rivals to morph their photo into something intimate. Avyan was six year old, he couldn't understand the argument when the very next Anita confronted Rajesh with photos.

When Anita questioned that why he didn't bring her to his house, he couldn't answer. He was clueless that time, after coming from tiring day he couldn't come up with ideas. News spread throughout the India that Business tycoon have affair and slowly Anita started drifting away from him and when Avyan questioned she sown the seed of hatred in his heart that still beats without unfading. There were fights, insecurities and his business flopped like his love life. 

When Anita commited suicide, her mom and dad were stubborn on taking care of Avyan but Rajesh being rich he successfully took Avyan to his custody. Many people, Started questioning about shuruthi character even her boyfriend broke up with her after pouring out all of his frustration through unpleasant words. Shruthi, was innocent someone had spiked her drink when she just went for her colleague birthday party . Rajesh though was not fond of Shruthi, yet he didn't have heart to leave her at her bad days. When he asked for remedy, she asked him to marry as she couldn't accept the society words. Till now, They both would not talk to each other unless it is important. Even his breath hadn't touched her skin. 

Though he have confessed it to Avyan, yet to Avyan his father is a monster who killed his mom. He neither could hate Anita for doubting him and sown the seed of hatred in his gem eyes. Not every love which travelled for years and years would progress with same energy. Love is the pretense of pleasure which every person assumed that One cannot without someone. Heart work is just to pump the blood, but human created the myth, that heart is the reason for One falling for another. Thus, that created the mindset of people that One cannot live without relying on other. If it comes to love, Your heart is the puppet to mind. It does what it was instructed. Often we had seen different types of people, One easily move on while the other hanging to the past that doesn't mean he/ she have different shape of heart. 

It is one's mind courage that encourages to move on. 

Rajesh came out of his trance when the door of the room  was knocked. He assumed it was Rishi as he was the one who called to ask about Avyan's sudden change in behaviour. 

"Come in" Rajesh said while propping his elbow on the table. 

" Hi, handsome!" Rishi chirped with a grin while Rajesh shook his head at his endearment.

" I have two grey hairs!" Rajesh Scoffed while cupping his cheeks letting out a depressed sigh.

Rishi rolled his eyes at him  favourite uncle and said,

" Ha, pretend that you didn't dye your hair for those years!"

"Your friend betrayed you!" Rajesh exhilarated.

Rishi blinked at him and said,

" There is nothing Avyan won't do without passing it to me!"

Rajesh smiled a bit before saying possesively, " True Because he didn't love me enough to share as he do to you"

Rishi smiled faded and bloomed into concern before he said, " It's his problem that he didn't trust you handsome hulk. Don't worry, I will always love my handsome hulk!"

" Do you realise I'm cold hearted business man!" Rajesh pointed out amusingly.

Rishi Chuckled and said, " To me you are my saviour from my abusive dad!"

Rajesh narrowed his eyes and said,

"Abuse? You were a bratty kid!"

Rishi scowled at him.

" What's the sudden change in Avyan behaviour?" Rajesh questioned cocking his eyes brows.

Rishi winked at him while Rajesh groaned before crediting money to Rishi through Gpay.

" Now, I will do my work. Avyan has been following One girl for Eight months but she is not Fond of him" Rishi said shortly with a shrug.

Rajesh frowned. Now he was intrigued. Though people hates Avyan for his doings, yet teenage girls never failed to give him attention even if he treats them like a trash.

" What? Who have the audacity to ignore my baby boy?" Rajesh said with frown.

Rishi blinked and said, " Well, Your baby boy forcefully made that innocent girl for submission. Wait, You are into kinky thing?"

Rajesh gave him a Charming smile before saying, " I'm into everything, wanna try with me?"

Rishi face twisted into disgust, standing up he said, " Eww!, I'm going"

Rajesh Chuckled looking at his favourite second son who was running for his life. Rajesh always Consider Rishi as his second son, maybe this is how it would be feel to tease around or would be more happy if he tease his own son.

He sighed.

Not every expectations are meant to be applicable in reality, but dreams are. One day his hardwork to win his son back, will happen.

Avyan leaned against his costly black SUV with his sunglasses on, waiting for his love to appear as he told. Of course, he have to black mail her.

His lips lifted when he saw Shreya coming towards him with a blank face. He had seen her smile with Aarav, then why can't she smile at him the way.

"Hi" Avyan greeted her with a smile.

Shreya gulped before lifting her chin and greeted him back.

"Today, I got work in company!" Avyan notified her with a grin as if it was important to her.

She genuinely doesn't care.

" Congrats" She forced a smile.

" So, that's why I Came here to inform my girlfriend!" Avyan said with a smile.

Shreya shuddered at how confidently he lie to her face.

" Avyan, Leave me please. You can't just blackmail me around. What if my father picks up the phone? We both are living alone, Obviously it would be easy to find. If you keep disturbing me, then I will tell my father" Shreya said in a one go hoping her confident would cease his assumption.

Avyan stroked his inner cheek with his tongue and pushed himself against the car. His one stride, she was trapped between him and car. Shreya twisted her hands but he was more stronger than her.

"I will reduce your work, C'mon. I will tell him" Avyan whispered against the shell of her ear enticed by her fragrance.

" Leave me" She cried out.

" I will not, I can be gentleman if you obey me!" Avyan gritted out as her rejection irks him to core.

Shreys shook her head and said, " You can blackmail me all you want, But my heart never belongs to you"

" I don't care. I want you to love me!" Avyan snarled at her before inching closer to her face.

She looked at him disgustingly as he kept man handling her for Eight months and Yet she couldn't do anything.

" Love, Do you know this place? Do you know why people are not around here?" Avyan asked her while stroking her chin.

Shreya breath laboured as the fear enveloped her soul thinking about his further move.

" This area till you can see with your naked eyes is mine!"

She kept her palm on his chest, to make a distance but he grabbed it off before harshly dipping his face into the crook of her neck and whispered, " Even if I take you  now, No one will disturb us!"

She closed her eyes letting the tears rolled down her cheeks for foolishly coming alone here. Her breath stopped when he bit her neck. She pushed him with all of her strength before slapping him hard with tear stricken face.
