Lie.. It's a big fat lie. Infront of my eyes I only saw my madness.

And don't know what fun he is getting by seeing our madness.

Amaya.....My madness.

Don't know when and how, but I knew when we met for the first time and our paths clashed.

And my madness got it's trigger. "

- Shivaay..

*********

After 25 years

The dark sky filled with stars can be the best comparison for Hooda mansion. It was looking the same as the sky. Whole mansion filled with lights and the royal enchanting look of the mansion was a beautiful view to admire at night.

But currently the state of people inside the house is really terrible. Only shouting and shouting. Or we can say, someone is fuming inside the house.

" Where are they? I'm asking you for God knows how much time... What does they think of me Huh..? I'm not saying anything doesn't mean that they can do salsa above my head. "

We can see a fuming Jannat walking around the dining table serving the dishes. And some people are silently sitting there and praying to God that, keep their ears alive by the end of dinner.

" Chachi.. They will.. "

" Did I ask you? Shut up.. " Shanaya tried to say something, but to her dismay, Jannat shut her up.

" I know that chuddy buddies... Will be somewhere flirting and drinking. Let them come home.. I'm gonna fry them. Faisu.. Are you listening to me." At last she yelled at faisu who was watching her every action with a stupid smile.

" Abba...Ammi's yelling is over. Now take it out.. " Amaal who came towards the dining table, pulled out the cotton which was pushed in faisu's ears.

" Oh.. It's over? Now let's eat in peace. Thanks doll.. " Faisu said and started having his food.

Whereas Jannat stood there with her mouth in perfect 'o' shape out of realization. But her trance soon break by a fist of laughter. She looked around only to see all of them laughing at her.

" You.. You always do this right.. From today onwards you will sleep on floor." Jannat said and now it was faisu's turn to get shocked.

" Jaan... Have some mercy on this poor man.. I won't do it anymore.. And about those two naughty boys.. I really don't know.. " faisu said and blinked his eyes innocently at his wife who is now in not so cool mood.

" Jannat beta...Relax...they will be fine. Zane will be with Fai. He will be okay." Zoya said in a consoling way.

" Huh? Maa.. I'm not worried about that boy... I'm worried about my Fai. " Jannat said in a worried tone.

" Chachi.. Isn't Zane your son? " Akhi asked with a chuckle.

" He is.. I'm sure about it.. " faisu replied immediately.

" Exactly.. His half blood is this fellow's.. So if he is in any trouble also, he will get rid of that soon, even if he have to beg for that.. But Fai is not like him. More than words, his actions works. At least I should think about those idiots who will try to mess with him. They will also have a family right? " Jannat said as if it's not a big deal..

" I second that.. " Vaishu also supported jaan.

" Fai will be just setting fire wherever he walks and Shri... Don't know why he loves to roam in those African jungles, chasing some animals to get a simple photo. Let him come back, this time I won't let him be single. " Jaan said frustrated out of failing all her plans last time.

" Chachi.. If you are so desperate in matchmaking, then why don't you try it on Fai..? " Shanaya mocked jaan, making her mouth mum.

" She very well know, Fai won't dance according to her wish. She even tried it once, and that poor girl.. I still remember, she would have peed if Fai stood there infront of her for a secound more. " Abhi said making everyone laugh at jaan, who was making faces.

" What can I do for that.. He isn't taking any initiative to be in a relationship, and is wandering around with the title of North India's best playboy. " jaan said with a little disappointed.

" I wonder how my both brothers are like a time machine... If one is in east, other one will be in west. Fai loves to roar.. Where as Shri loves to talk calmly.. Such a weird twins. " Shanaya said shaking her head in disbelief.

" It's because he is just like your mumma. " Sidharth said as he walked up-to the table.

" Papa... You came.. " Shanaya ran into his arms.

" Yes... How's my flower? " Sidharth asked her as he placed a kiss on her forehead.

" I'm all good papa. But right now chachi is in her jwalamukhi mode. " Shanaya whispered to him.

" Shona... I heard that okay.. " Jannat said standing beside her.

" Aaa.. Umm.. Chachi.. I didn't.. " Shanaya stammered a little still hugging her papa.

" You all are same.. " Jannat sat beside faisu puffing here cheeks making all smile at her childishness.

" Jannat... What's today's matter? " Sidharth asked her as he took a seat not before planting a forehead kiss on all his kids.

" Matter is non other than our Fai. " Faisu said with a boring sigh.

" What about him? It's not the first time he is coming home late. " Sidharth said in a blank tone.

" Yes, but still he can inform anyone about his whereabouts right? When he comes, he only have time to scream at the poor servants. And the other one, Shri.. He only comes if his beloved brother calls him. He don't have time for any others. " Jannat said looking here and there.

" Jaan... Just chill. They are youngsters. Let them enjoy. " Abhi said her with a smile.

" I don't want to stop them from enjoying their life. But.. For me, they are like my own children. Even though Avu gave them birth, I'm the one who raised them. She went away giving their responsibility to me. " Jannat said as her voice cracked at the end.

Everyone in the table went silent. Shanaya's lips trembled indicating that the next mom she will start crying. Akhi who noticed it immediately tried to change the topic.

" Chachi... Sentiments apart.. Now please serve me some more pulaav. I'm damn hungry. " Jaan nodded and served him.

Everyone again went back to the silent mode. All youngsters finished their dinner and walked out from there. Only the elders where present.

" You shouldn't have mentioned about her Jannat. Flower is really upset. " Sidharth said with slight anger in his voice.

" Why? I wanted to tell about Avu daily to her children, I don't want her children to forget about her, but I'm not allowed. You even removed all her photos and warned everyone not to talk about her infront of kids.. Why? Huh? Only for Fai. Right? Today he wasn't here, that's why I mentioned her.

And we all know.. You are nothing less than us. Each time when you see Fai and his hatred towards his own mumma is burning you. Still you are silent.. Why don't you try to make him understand. "

Jaan almost yelled at him, taking out her frustration which she has been buried inside herself.

" Yes Sid.. Jaan is not completely at fault. Fai hates her, and he even refused to see her face. And for Fai, Shri also refused to look at his mother's face for once. " Vaishu also stated.

Sidharth was all time silent. Only the flashes of that drastic day was playing Inge of him. The day when his love gave up herself to bring Fai in this world. All the accusings of his family is making him go mad.

" Then what should I do.? You all are telling me to make him understand, and are you that stupids to think Fai will listen to any of my words related to his mother.? He is Shivaay.. Not Shravan. "

Sidharth shouted as he has heard enough of it. He then turned to Jannat.

"And yeah.. I'm burning from inside whenever I see hatred in Fai's eyes for Avneet. For him, what his mother did is a crime. According to him, his mother made everyone's life miserable by bringing him to the world. According to him, his mother ran away from her responsibility. Responsibility of being a wife and being a mother. He knew that, if she would have given upon him, at least Flower and Shri could have got their mother's love. He still blames himself for that. Because of her act he even started hating the word love. "

By the time he finished everyone were in tears. He turned around only to see his kids standing there.

" Sidharth.. I.. " Jannat tried to tell him something but he stopped her.

" Jannat.. I know you love them so much... But he is my blood.. Won't listen to anyone. " Saying this Sidharth left from there not before rubbing out the tears which stung at the corner of his eyes..

" I wish our Fai would get such a life partner, who will fill his life with love." Shanaya whispered as she whipped out her tears.

On the other hand, we would see two peoples talking in their phone approaching towards the restaurant.

" Look.. I don't wanna play any waiting gaiting.. Okay.. "

" Reaching on time is not in my nature. Why so hurry? "

" Anyways.. Strawberry or chocolate?"

" Whatever suits your fantasy. "

" I'm gonna drink too much today... "

" Chill babes.. "

" Your good name please? " The receptionist asked.

" Amaya.. " She said taking out her scarf which she used to cover her face.

" Umm...Amaya..? " The receptionist looked at her in confusion.

" Amaya Mittal. " Amaya said with a sweet smile.

The receptionist nodded at her and Amaya walked inside.

" And You have booked the table under the name of ? " The receptionist asked politely.

" Shivaay.. Shivaay Hooda. " He replied and walked in.
