Author's POV

"Sitaara" someone called from behind when she was about to ascend the stairs. Seeing the persons Shetty's tensed. Sitaara turned back and seeing him her eyes filled with tears again.

"Mani" she screamed running to him and hugged him tightly as if her life is dependent on it. He held her protectively and possessively caressing her hair. He was looking damn dangerous with his chiseled clenching jaw and his silence was screaming danger everywhere. More than anyone Rishi and Anish were tensed knowing Abhi's condition. Sitaara was sobbing badly while he was rubbing her back to soothe her.

"We weren't eavesdropping. Sid and Ved invited us for dinner and stay over to surprise my sil. But seems like accidentally and fortunately we heard everything" said Naman with a sarcastic smile.

"We will leave now. Akhira can you get my SIL's bags?" Asked Dhruv supressing his anger.

"Dhruv beta-"

"No Uncle (Dev) we will leave now. When my sil isn't respected at her own house and asked to get out, I don't think we won't be asked the same. Above all that we can't let our sil stay here anymore when she is insulted" said Dhruv cutting off Dev.

"Akhira please get the bags" said Dhruv sternly and raised his voice a little. Akhira looked at her family.

"Abhi bava(bil), please don't mind it. Come inside" said Sid trying to ease the situation. Abhi looked up Sid with blood shed moisted eyes clenching his jaw and pulled Sitaara closer.

"Let's go to our home" he whispered to Sitaara. She looked up at him with tears. He wiped her tears and kissed her forehead.

"Come let's move, sweetheart no need of any bags and all" he said with a smile. She smiled back with tears and nodded her head.

"No Abhi we can't send our daughter at night" said Dev.

"Then, can you guys ask her to get out? Die in hunger? Mamayya(fil) am bubbling up my anger in me, please let us go before it bursts out" he said calmly.

"It was just argument, Abhi. It's common between sisters right? Don't mind it, son" said Ananth. Abhi looked at him ridiculously.

"Argument? I don't think my wife is weak to cry her eyes out on just an argument. If they argue, they don't shout, they don't ask to die in hunger, they don't ask to get out this mansion. If this was just an argument, Sitaara won't run to me crying in her own house when her parents are here. She won't find a shoulder to cry when her father and her brothers are here" said Abhi calm yet dangerously. If they were not his inlaws he would have burst out on them. Just because of Sitaara he is supressing his boiling anger so that she won't be hurted for treating her family badly.

"Am sor-"

"Hell with your sorry, Ms Shetty. How dare you insult my wife? Firstly, you run away from marriage. Secondly, you don't even apologize my family for almost ruining their reputation, although we wouldn't give a fuck to your so called shitty sorry. Thirdly, instead of respecting your sister who sacrificed her life for both the families reputation which you kicked with your feet, you screamed at her to get out. She fought with me to come here as she was missing you people but you hurted her whereas all these Shetty's fucking let you do it" he raised his voice cutting off Sisira. He tried very much but listening to Sisira's voice his bubbling anger bursted out. He turned to Rishi with blazing eyes making him gulp.

"What were you doing when she was screaming at my wife simply, out of no reason? Tell me Rishi, what were you doing bastard?" He yelled at Rishi.

"Abhi, it happened unexpectedly, we couldn't-"

"Don't give such shitty and fucking excuses, Rishi. Your senses aren't that slow to grasp the situation after everything is done. It's really foolish to ask you when her own brothers let my wife get insulted what would you do? Isn't it? Just don't talk to me you fucker" shouted Abhi cutting off him.

"Abhi am sorry Man!" Said Rishi. He didn't look at him. Anish placed his hand on Abhi's shoulder.

"I don't want to hear any of your fucking advices. Get cars ready, we will move afterall we received a never forgetting memory for life time" he said harshly. Anish nodded and gestured the cousins to follow.

"Come sweetheart let's go'' he said softly making everyone shock at his sudden change in behaviour. Her stomach growled due to hunger, he chuckled making her embarassed. His eyes filled with tears realising how much hungry she was and was about to stay hunger.

"Time to feed your little tummy. Let's go to your favourite restaurant and have dinner...hmm?" He asked brushing off her hair from her face. She nodded.

"Abhi-"

"It's Mr Chowdhary for you. Don't call me with my name, only my people can call me Abhi not all fucking idiots" said Abhi when Sisira called him to apologise. Tears sprang up in Sisira's eyes.

"And you were jealous of your sister(Sisira was about to protest) Nah! Don't deny that. Everyone in this home are happy listening to her marriage life experiences but you got irritated. What does that mean? Rishi was updating me every fucking thing that's happening here and I came to know what remarks you even made behind my wife's back apart from making on her face too. What do you take me for, Miss Shetty? Did you think I will sit quietly letting you bitch about my wife behind her back? Am not a man who I seem. Trust me, you won't even able to breathe properly if you ever come into my target list" said Abhi while Sitaara looked at Sisira with tears processing Abhi's words. Sisira looked away crying.

"Abhi we are sorry on behalf of Sisira. Please don't mind it son. It's not good to send our daughter at night" said Mridula. His eyes soften yet he was bubbling in anger. Calming himself, he spoke.

"Don't apologise me, athamma (mil). You are elder to me. And sorry, I couldn't let my wife stay here. What Miss Shetty used on Sitaara wasn't fair. Insulting Sitaara is like insulting me too. Sisira bruised our self respect which isn't letting us stay here" he said calmly.

''If this was any other person, the next second the words escaped his/her mouth, they would've disappear from this world for insulting my wife'' he gritted through his teeth looking Sisira.

''Abhi beta, please understand our customs. We are sorry. We couldn't protect our granddaughter but please excuse for this time. We are sorry again" said Krishna joining his hands.

"Grandpa what are you doing? Please don't join your hands infront of me. And please not you atleast, don't apologise and don't request to stay back. We are going and won't come back untill something urgent comes up" said Abhi and looked at Sitaara. He held her hand and started to move along with his cousins but Sitaara didn't move. He turned to her.

"Let's not disobey my grandfather, Mani. Irrespective of his age he requested you and me for the mistake he never committed. Let's not disrespect him for siru...I mean Sisira akka's mistake" she said. He looked at her in disbelief.

"But Vadhina-"
Aastha stopped in middle when Abhi held his hand out gesturing her to stop.

''She insulted you, made you cry but none of your family member reprimanded her, didn't tell her that she was at mistake still you want to stay here?'' He asked cupping her cheek.

''They never expected Sisira akka to shout at me like that which made them root at their spot in shock orelse they would have scolded her. And, being my family they can scold me, insult me after all am her little sister-"

"If you are still Sitaara Dev Shetty, they can insult you, scold you, or worst like she asked you to get out, they can even do that. But, you are Sitaara Abhimanyu Chowdary now, my wife. You carry my name, my family name. Isn't it disrespecting me and my family? If I didn't come on time, you would have stayed hunger crying, is that why I sent you here? Making time even in my busy schedule, I made a call to each and every Shetty's here asking them to take care of you and not to hurt you in anyway, even to Miss Shetty though I don't speak to her normally. I didn't order them Sitaara, I requested them them which is really rare. I know I don't need to ask them to take care of their own daughter still....for you! I did it because I can't afford seeing you in pain even for a second. And Is this is the respect I receive for my words, my request, to me, to my wife and to Chowdary's? I never tried to claim my rights as son in law of this house, I never tried to dominate over your brothers for being their bil, instead all I did is to go friendly with them though it's not my thing to get mingled with people easily, and all I get is this? This irrespective behaviour and humiliation? He asked. She looked down.

"Still Mani my grandfather asked you to forgive not caring his age, respect he hold, throwing away the ego though he didn't do anything. If he was in state to react he wouldn't spare Sisira akka, it all happened in a blink that no one got chance to react. That's why they are apologizing. When the man who is double of our age is itself put his self-respect at bay for us, why should we be stubborn? Being younger we can't let our elders plead us, apologise us and we shouldn't disobey them" she said looking into eyes. He caressed her tear stained cheek. Sighing he ran his fingers in his hair. He pulled her in a tight hug. She hugged him back rubbing his back.

He kissed her temples and moved back and nodded his head. She smiled.

"But let's go to restaurant to have our dinner" he said in no argument tone. She nodded. He turned to Shetty siblings.

"Join us" he said curtly. They looked at Sitaara asking secretly ' He isn't gonna take us somewhere in the name of dinner and murder us right?' through their eyes. She chuckled shaking her head in no. They sighed in relief.

"Join us, Anna. Treat is on your miser bil. He is taking us out for the first time" she said giggling. They smiled little still feeling sorry for Sitaara.

"I'll get changed. Wait for me" she said. He nodded.

"Abhi sit beta" said Dev.

"I'll be in car-"

"Stop being an obstinate donkey. Because of Sisira akka's mistake you can't hurt my family. Am not taking Sisira akka's side but I can't hold grudge on her and show it on my family who loves me and you alot. I even know you are hurted because of it but let it go, Mani. Let's not waste our emotions on something unworthy and which can't change our past" she whispered to him. He glared at her. She placed her palm on his eyes giggling.

"Don't look at me like that trust me it's scaring hell out of me" she said. He removed her palm and walked to couch ignoring her. He sat on it along with Anish while others followed Sitaara to her room.

"Woah! Vadhina (sil), your room isn't like someone's who has pink theme like a typical girl" said Dhruv moving his hands towards Aarya, Disha and Aastha earning a smack from them. Sitaara and Naman chuckled.

"Your room is beautiful, Vadhina(sil)" said Naman. Sitaara smiled at him.

"Aarya akka isn't it you?" Asked Disha pointing at pics hung on wall.

"Yeah! This is when we went to Manali in our second year of engineering" said Aarya smiling.

"Vikram looks handsome in it" said Disha with dreamy eyes. Dhruv placed his palm on her eyes possessively while Naman placed his plam on photo frame at Vikram's face.

"You are not supposed to praise a man infront of your brothers let alone look at them" said Naman. Disha swatted their hands and rolled her eyes.

"It's not what you guys think. I just told the fact. Praising men handsomeness doesn't mean we have a thing for them" said Disha understanding the meaning behind their words.

"That's good you don't have a thing for him orelse I would never let him step in our mansion. BTW, he isn't that handsome like me and Abhi anna" said Dhruv.

"You have a great sense of humour, Dhruv. We agree Abhi anna is handsome but you? Please don't say it infront of anyone again" said Aastha with fake laugh.

"You don't laugh infront of anyone. It's like goats bleat maaa...maaa.." spatted Dhruv imitating goats sound and smirked making everyone laugh. She hit on his butt.

"I'll be back after changing" said Sitaara and moved to closet followed by Aastha, Aarya and Disha.

"Am I hallucinating? God! These many collections?" Said Disha gaping looking Sitaara's collection. Sitaara chuckled selecting her outfit.

"I know you maintain a class but this is truly unexpectable. All your collection are foreign brands and most of them are US and Uk based brands, Vadhina (sil)" said Aastha looking around.

"They truly cost in fortune. I always used to consider myself as a crazy shopaholic but you turned to be craziest" added Aastha.

"She is a fashionista, akka. Few dresses, watches, shoes, perfume or any other things from them are still unused. Whatever branded item comes into market it used to be with her first in a blink of a eye" said Aarya. Aastha smiled.

"But Vadhina(sil), I can see all the collections are stopped two years ago. Very few things from last year are added. Seems like you stopped showing intrest in them" said Disha. Tears filled in Sitaara's eyes.

"Actually, you see... Sitaara is a top most graduate in masters..that means she has to study alot so she stopped showing intrest in them and once she came back to India 7 months ago she started adding things to her collection" said Aarya nervously.

"But Situ Vadhina(sil) is topper of your batch in bachelors. IIT graduate. Still she handled then, but why not during masters?" Asked Disha.

"Hahaha..Sitaara turned herself into a nerd, a bookworm so she stopped showing interest. Isn't it, Situ?" Asked Aarya. Sitaara nodded looking down.

"Vadhina(sil) you are IIT graduate, MIT graduate and topped in both graduations then why aren't you working?" Asked Aarya.

"She is in rest. Like, forgodsake she studied all her 23 years of life and maintained same flow of topping in everything she does. So she needs rest atleast for an year to start afresh" said Aarya.

"Why aren't you letting her speak? And what's with you talking like an express, Aaru?" Asked Aastha narrowing her eyes. Aarya gulped.

How can she say about Sitaara's condition during their masters? How can she say that her friend is not the one she is showing up now? If she says even single thing, they has to dig deep into Sitaara's past which Sitaara don't want.

"Taara, how much time are you gonna take, woman?" Yelled Abhi from outside.

"We are coming, Anna" yelled back Aarya dragging Aastha and Disha out.

Tears that Sitaara was holding streamed down her eyes. Her mind drifted to her painful memories she went through for those two years ago. She wiped her tears and wore red off shoulder frock ending above her knees paired with heels. Pulling all her hair to one side, she tied her wrist watch and stepped out of the closet.

Hearing door sound, Abhi turned to her and smirked looking at her legs.

"My eyes are up here" she said.

"But view is at bottom" he said absentmindedly.

"Mani" she screamed bringing him out of trance. He looked away and saw his brother and sisters smirking at him.

"Let's go" he said.

"Vadhina (sil) you will ride a bike?" Asked Naman looking at the pictures with shocked expressions

( Pictures are just for better imagination! I don't own them and was copied from pinterest)

"She is a biker. She has membership in both Mumbai and Hyderabad racing clubs" said Aarya.

Abhi stunned hearing it as Samhith's accident flashed infront of him hearing 'racing'. Though it took an year to cure Samhith then, when a bomb was placed in his bike and it blasted, still it is a horrible memory to him.

"Wow!! It's..it's just wow Vadhina(sil) I didn't expect you to be a biker" said Naman still in daze trying to process the words.

''She is pro at racing. Even Arjun and Vikram can't beat her. She even goes for car racings. Racing is her best timepass to release her frustration, upset or happiness" said Aarya.

"You are full of surprises, sweetheart" said Abhi wrapping his hand on her shoulder. She smiled and that's it, his heart skipped a beat again. Every time she smiles at him it feels like he is seeing for the first time and her smile never fails to amaze him.

"You can look at her all the time but now are getting late" said Dhruv making Abhi blush slightly. Lately he started blushing like a teenage lover.

They were walking ahead with Abhi and Sitaara trailing behind them. He pulled her to him by waist. She glared at him to which he brushed off with a smile.

"You look stunning, sweetheart. Not to for forget your se-"

"You both can romance at night. Now, come soon" said Dhruv turning while Abhi was complimenting Sitaara in teasing way.

"You!! Just fucking shut your mouth orelse I'll rip off your tongue one day" warned Abhi making Dhruv run away.

"You need to stop cussing. Especially at your brothers and friends" she said moving away from him.

"Didn't you hear him? He is talking to us which he shouldn't" said Abhi annoyed as they exited her room.

"Explain him softly. You are his brother and also like a father figure to him. If you use it then it's like you are allowing them indirectly" said Sitaara.

"Do you think I never tried to explain to him? Since
