Katha's Pov

Today in our School Group the notice was sended by our principal, all those who were interested for going to School trip should be Registering their name to their respective class teacher.

Our school is going to Nepal, well i was shocked and appalled for a moment however when i read the notice further I got to know that we are going to be exploring their famous temples, Hill stations, Museums etc.......

For a moment I became really excited and my heart fluttered with contentment but soon sadness over shadowed it, Even If I try to convince Maa she would never let me go to any Trips, she really haven't let me go to any trips from my childhood.....

While thinking about all this my thoughts got interrupted by my mother's voice, while scrolling through her phone she told me "Katha Sanchi called me"

For few seconds I wonder why would have Sanchi called my Mother today?

However Maa continued "Sanchi told me, she wanted to spend time with you so I invited her to our house and I also asked her to join us in dinner with us tonight"

Nodding my head I muttered getting curiosity "Accha...thik hai, waise aaj aap school kyun Nahi gaye, kya baat hai? (Okay that's fine, By the way why didn't you go to the school today, what's up?) "

Maa uttered casually " Tum ne hi to bola tha ke tumhe mere saath time spent karna hai, Isiliye mein ne aaj chutti le liya (You only told me that you wanted to spend some time with me, therefore I took a leave today from my duty) "

After hearing her I got startled, Glancing at my reaction, Maa chuckled shooking her head. She spoke whilst grinning at me "Kya? Main apni beti ke liye ek din chutti bhi le nahi sakti kya? (What? can't I take a one day holiday for my dearest daughter?) "

Still not believing her I asked "Maa aap sach bol rahe ho? (Mom are you speaking the truth?) " My mother smiled at me and spoke warmly "Haan bilkul, Mujhe pata hai tum mere saath waqt bitna chahti ho (Yes really, I'm aware that how much time you wanted to spend with me) "

I hugged my mother tightly whilst grinning and muttered "Chalo Maa abhi aap mere liye chai bana do saath mein beth ke pite hai, Aur mera serial abhi suru hone hi wala hai ( Okay Mom, Make me a cup of tea will drink it together while watching my favorite drama) "

My Mother laughed at me and asked me observing my silly behavior " Katha tum raat ko serial kyun nahi dekti aur subah subah hi kyun dekti ho? (Katha, why don't you watch the dramas at night, who watches at early mornings?) "

I whined at her for questioning that" Maa ye mera Style hai aap nahi samjhoge ( Mom, it's my style you will not understand)" She laughed at and went to make tea for both us"

While getting settled on the couch I thought that Maa's mood today was nice and if I try to convince her would she let me go to the School Trip??

Suddenly Sanchi called me and I know what she is going to tell me, So I received her call quickly.

𝗣𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹

Sanchi :- Oye! Katha Tune notice padha?

Bola tha na Riya ka information sach nikalega, Mujhe to apni mummy papa se permission bhi mil gayi.

( Hey! Katha did you read that notice? I've told you Riya's information was right, I alright got my parents permissions also for the trip!) "

Aur teri mummy ko convince kar ne ke bare mein soch kar unhe call kiya tha par call mein baatein kar na sahi nahi laga isliye mein ne socha tere ghar aaj Raat dinner mein baat karungi.

(And about you mother's permission, I dialed her today but I felt I shouldn't talk about it through phone call instead I decided to convince her about this in dinner tonight at your house)

Katha :- Hello Sanchi, Han Riya ki information to bilkul sahi nikali, Waise aaj Maa ka mood bohot accha hai, Aur tujhe pata hai mein ne Maa ko kal ek din chutti lene ke baare mein bola to woh mujhe firse samjhane lagi, lekin aaj Subhe mujhe pata chala ke Maa ne School se chutti li hai.....

(Hello sanchi, yeah Riya's information was right by the way today Mom's mood was quite nice. And do you know as I urged her to take one day leave from school she again started scolding me but itself today in the morning I got to know that she really took an off day)

Sanchi :-Baap re! Aunty ne sach mein chutti li hai, Mujhe yakin hi nahi ho raha, Aunty ne last time chutti pata nahi kab hi liya hoga....

(oh my god! Did she really take a break? I'm not being able to believe it, However when did she last time must have taken a day off?)

Katha :-Wahi to... Maa ka mood aaj sach much bohot aacha hai... Accha chal Maa Bula rahi hai, Dinner par Milte hai....

(That's it... Mom's mood is really nice today, Okay listen mom is calling me, let's meet at dinner tonight..)

Sanchi :- Han thik hai....

(Okay fine..)

While putting my phone in my pocket I went towards the kitchen, soon Maa handed me a cup of tea and I simple smiled at her in contentment....

I sat on the basket chair in the terrace and watched my Mother who was watering the plants, While watering the plants she shared her feelings and stories of her life in school......

I felt happy and relief after listening her because after so long she was sharing something with me, Otherwise I was the only one to talk much about everything but today my mother was the one to talk too much.

We spent our time like that talking and giggling with each other. Wondering for a moment I muttered to her "Maa let's go to the temple, It's been months when we both went to temple let's go please",

Giving it a thought Maa initially agreed at my statement "Yeah you are right we should visit the temple, okay now go get a quick shower and make sure to get ready before 9 'O'clock" Listening to her I tenderly kissed her and walk towards my room.

Time skip, We visited Lord Shiv and Parvati temple. As we entered the temple the surrounding was filled with the smells of flower and Sandal, The atmosphere around was absorbed with the Sound of Bells, Numerous ladies laughters and priest saying the beeds of rosary.

As I got so lost into observing my environment I flinched when My Mother voiced " Katha I'm going to buy some diyas you go and buy some flowers from that corner of the temple" Staring at her I hastily nodded and moved ahead.

Stepping inside near the deities we prayed for a while. After our prayers I mumbled near my mother "Maa aap mere man pasand Prasad nahi laoge? Mera bohat man hai khane ka...

(Mom, Will you not bring my dearest sweets? I really want to have them)"

My Mother smiled at me and spoke further "Jaa rahi thi lane yahin ruko mein lekar aati hun

(I was going to...Stay here I will bring those sweets to you)"

This temple's special prasad was really very popular in oue whole city because it only made here by those priests. After eating the prasad nostalgia hit me,

And I smiled with satisfaction while thanking God internally.

Maa and I spent rest of the time doing shopping and we also had our lunch outside, We clicked many pictures and enjoyed our day to the fullest. Although we had not planned this all we only thought to visit temple that's all but we ended up enjoying our whole day together.

In the Evening, At Katha's room Sanchi and Katha watched their favorite Movie "Laila Majnu". After the movie Sanchi gasped whilst wondering "kaash mujhe bhi koi Qaiz jaisa ladka mil jaye kaash!

(I cherish to God, May I also get a man like Qaiz I wish) "

Katha muttered whilst rolling her orbs "Aree yaar ye to bas movie hai, Movies mein ese ladke hote hai real life mein nahi

(My friend, only in movies you will find man like Qaiz not in real life)"

Sanchi glared at her for being so straight forward and said while being dramatic " Tu mera mood kharab mat kar samjhi, Mein bhagwaan se Manifest karti hun ke mujhe ek hot, handsome, tall ladka mile

(Don't you dare to ruin my mood, I manifest to God that may I also get a hot, handsome,talk guy) "

Katha laughed at Sanchi for her behavior and teased her further......

While teasing and laughing at each other they totally forgot the time when

Shravika (katha's mom) called them from downstairs for dinner.

While heading towards downstairs Sanchi said Katha to not worry about trip anymore and told her to help her get aunty convince about the trip,

While entering the dinning area Sanchi expressed "Wah Aunty kya khusbu aa rahi hai (Wow Aunty, it's smells too good)"

Shravika grin at her comment and while sitting on her chair she urged "Chalo ab jaldi khana suru karte hai warna thanda ho jayega (let's proceed with our dinner otherwise the food will turn cold) "

As they were eating Katha signaled Sanchi to start the conversation when Sanchi abruptly coughed to gain attention of Shravika and said further " Woh aunty aapse kuch kehna tha...

(Uhh.. Aunty I actually wanted to talk with you)"

Shravika while shifting her whole attention to Sanchi said "Han bolo beta (Yeah, I'm listening)"

Sanchi muttered hesitantly "Actually woh kya hain na aunty hamare School ne kuch problem ke wajhese Farwell nahi rakha tha to isiliye unhone ek School trip plan kiya hai, Aur Katha ka bohut man hai jane ka

(Actually Aunty the thing is that for some reason our school didn't provide us with farewell therefore they planned for us a school trip and katha also wanted to travel with us)"

Till now Shravika was in happy mood but after the mention about the School trip She turned cold and more than serious now.

Glancing at sanchi Shravika muttered sternly "Sanchi tumhare parents ne tumhe permission diya?

( Sanchi, did your parents give you permission?)"

Sanchi said while getting all nervous "Ji aunty

( Yeah Aunty)"

shravika asked further "To tum jaogi??

( So you're going? )",

Sanchi nodded "Bilkul aunty

(Of course aunty)".....

Shravika muttered directly "To tum chahti ho ke mein Katha ko School Trip mein jaane ke liye permission du?

(So you basically wanted that I also give katha the permission?)"

At her question Sanchi hastily uttered "Ji aunty (Yes Aunty)"

Putting her spoon down, Shravika muttered looking straight at Sanchi's eyes "Dekho Sanchi tumhe ache se pata hai mujhe Katha ko koi bhi trip mein bhejna aacha nahi lagta hai

( Sanchi you're quite aware that I never really liked to sent katha to any trips)"

Sanchi tried so hard to convince her further even Katha also tried to convince her but Shravika did not gave any kind of permission.....

While greeting Katha bye Sanchi expressed "Aaj ka date 16th hai aur humara school trip 22nd ko start hoga School trip ke liye sign up karne ke liye sirf do din hi hai uske baad tum register nahi kar paogi, Agar Tu nahi jayegi to mein bhi nahi jaungi

(Today's date is 16th and our school trip is on 22nd. For the trip you also have to sign up and after two days you can't register anymore. If you will not go katha then for sure I will also not go) "

Frowning at her, katha muttered "Aisa kyun bol rahi hai... agar mein nahi bhi gayi to tu bilkul jana

(Why are you saying like this? Even of I will not go you surey have to go) "

before Sanchi could say any further Katha cutted her off and voiced leaving no room for argument "Tujhe meri kasam hai Samjhi

(You swear to me, understand)

Shooking her head, Sanchi uttered  "Kya yaar tere bina sach mein maza nahi aayega please tu aunty ko maana ne ka try karti rehna please

(What! Without your absence I won't be able to enjoy. Please you keep trying to convince aunty) "

Katha muttered nodding her head "Han mein karungi

( Yeah,I will) "

After their long more minutes of conversation they finally greeted each other goodbye.

After locking her house gate when she entered her home she saw her mother watching t.v she wished her good night and went to her room.

As she layed on her bed she felt sad for not getting permission for the trip however while thinking all about this she prayed to God to do some miracle and let her go to the School trip.

After overthinking for long time she finally drifted to back to sleep.

YashRaj's Pov

Today my semester exams came to conclusion and finally The 3rd year of my law in University completed, As I walked out of the Exam hall Rudra called me from behind, as soon as he came closer he asked me in utmost curiosity "Yash how was your paper?"

Before I could mutter anything another voice came from behind, as we stare at that direction we found  Aarav striding towards us. As he reached near he spoke nearly teasing me "Rudra look who you are asking about Exam paper the one who had already ranked highest two times in this whole University".

At his statement Rudra chuckled at Aarav and muttered "Yeah you are right"  Craning my neck up, I stared at them with my as usual cold and unreadable expression.

As we were walking through the parking lot Rudra spoke with anticipation "Guys as our exams are already over let's hangout" Aarav exclaimed at Rudra's comment "Yesss! we should", When they averted their eyes at me for my opinion I initially shook my head and gasping "I'm not interested"

Soon Aarav whined "Bro not today please, Our exams just finished today, let's drink tonight..."

Rudra urged "Yeah! Yash why not? Don't you want to drink with us" I exhaled sharply and muttered "I got some Work to do guys"

Hearing me, Rudra voiced sternly "Yash you know you have become whole Workaholic person, From few weeks..... You just got so busy with your schedules, and whatever those works are".

Aarav playfully sneered " Who knows if he is doing work on his mission or something else, while smirking he continues further "Maybe he got a Girl" Rudra chuckled at his comment while Aarav playfully narrowed his eyes and looked at me.

I glared at him and spoke "Aarav just shut the fuck up!" Witnessing me annoyed Aarav muttered "What! I mean in University and especially almost in the whole city beautiful girls are there who are madly in love with you, So I thought May..be you have given chance to some of them"

I expressed in displeasure while walking towards my car "I am not quite of interested in those type of ridiculous things Aarav"

Aarav followed me and Rudra towards our car and before he can say any further Rudra silenced him and said looking towards me "By the way what about that Mission Yash? That bastard lewis ran off from India and we don't even know where he is right now"

While driving the car my jaw clenched and my fist got tightened around the steering wheel at the mention of his name. I muttered with my jaw tightened "He is not capable of hiding for too long, I will make sure to find him anyhow before this month"

Getting significant Aarav uttered  "I perceive he again went to Russia because he had his powers there so he might have thought to again stay there"

At Aarav's statement Rudra voiced "No I don't sense he went to Russia because he knows we will found him anyhow there and he also knows we have more mens so he might be staying in some part of Europe I guess".

As they both were deeply wondering about I sighed in exhaustion " No..... I am damn sure you two are wrong he must be staying near somewhere country's close to India because he knows we might search him in other country's far away like US,Uk, Russia and all".

"Whatever I will make sure to find him out as soon as possible, afterall Lewis and I were enemies from years, I have to take revenge from him anyhow"

Rudra spoke getting concerned "I know Yash but you have to let me help you in this mission, I don't want to let you do all this alone" Hearing him I muttered "I don't Like Someone to interfere in my matters Rudra". Sighing Rudra urges "I am aware Yash but let me help you please, I can't see you like this managing everything alone! "

After convincing me for a longtime as I agreed Rudra sighed in relief and happiness as if he finally lessened some loads of work from my Shoulders".

Therefore, basically Rudra is studying Humanities to become a police commissioner whilst Aarav was studying computer Science to become an Engineer or maybe in future a business man as he's not sure till now he could also opt for MBA.

Rudra, he is a silent, calm and patience full kind of person while Aarav is a playboy, naughty, funny and spoiled type of person.

Although they are my best friend but I have my other close friends too. Like Samira, Niki, Aryan, Vansh, Aashika . We spent our almost time together.

At Night, YashRaj went towards his Library, he removed his leather jacket and threw it on the couch, While sitting on his Study chair he placed his leg on the table and lit up his cigarette.

While smoking he ordered to one of his assistant "Do you find any location of him" The Assistant getting all scared spoke with a weak tone "Yes Boss" YashRaj rubbed his temple in frustration "So where that Rascal is?"

Shivering in fear the assistant muttered "Boss the location is saying he is between the country Nepal and Bhutan" YashRaj smirked at his prediction and voiced" Hmm..send me all the details, I will be leaving from here within two days" The Assistant hastily gasped "Okay Boss".

YashRaj wondered deeply drowned into his thoughts whilst rolling the paper weight by his fingers "Let me once catch that bloody bastard, I will make sure to taste him the medicine of betraying the YashRaj Kapoor" He smirked as he wondered before crushing his cigar in the ashtray.

As he was going through his room abruptly Shivaay stopped him by mocking him "Look who's here, The one and only great mafia YashRaj Kapoor!" Whilst also gaining the attention of his father.

YashRaj turned his finger into fist to control his rage, he clenched his jaw and just remained silent. Shivaay sneered near him "So how are you feeling after killing numerous peoples out there and getting out all your frustration on those innocent people's"

Raghuveer rolled his eyes and voiced from behind "killing all those people you must be feeling entertaining right YashRaj?"

Shivaay smirked at his younger brother and muttered "Dad I don't even know on what purpose he is doing all this after all he is doing well in his career then why all this?"

Raghuveer sharply looked at YashRaj with all his hatred and expressed "Because he just wants to ruin our image infront of whole world which I had made with so much of hardwork, After that only he will feel happy"

YashRaj shrieked promptly on listening to his dad "Enough dad! Enough, You have so much of misunderstanding.... I could never do this to you. Stop hating me , stop making me feel as unworthy, worthless. Just stop this!" After his sudden outbrust shivaay finally felt happy looking at the state of YashRaj.

While breaking the vase which was kept at the side table he stromed out of the living room and went straight towards his room.

As he entered his room he shut his door causing an ominous clanging loud sound, He held a small piece of showcase from the side table and threw it towards the mirror causing it to broke into several pieces..

He looked at the broken pieces of the mirror and stared at his reflection, He cursed his fate for his suffering and his all memories came in front of him,

He again started to remember how hard work he did to get his father love, whenever shivaay betrayed him how he managed to forgive him thinking that one day shivaay will come and Support him.

But he realised it long ago that these are his only misconception and they will never ever love him, not in this life for sure..

He sat on the cold floor and leaned against the bed remembering every single thing, how Because of his father's business profit some mafia attacked them nine years ago, how they killed the only person who loved YashRaj from his childhood.

That person was YashRaj's grandmother.

After her death YashRaj Promised to himself that he will become so tough, so cold, so hard, so stone-hearted that no one will be able to melt him...

While thinking all about this few drops of tears fell from his eyes but he immediately wipe it off ...

He walked towards his closet and took a long shower to relax himself, After long day he made up his mind and slept...
