>Interview starts.

Hallelujah! I'm back. So I know I've postponed this for so long, but can you blame me? Your favorite Kabir couldn't make time for my appointment. He even threw me out of his office building when I went there to speak personally. Such an asshole!

Your favorite characters will be arriving soon, so I thought in the meantime I shall answer the questions that you've about me.

So the first question is, Where in India are you from? Can you give me tips on how to start writing.... I have a plot but don't know how to start.

Next question is, Are you committed? And your age?

Now let's move to next question. This one asks, How many siblings do you have? How many years younger or older are they?

Next is, Do you know BTS?

Someone's asking, When is your birthday?

Okay, this ones asking, Rivaah and Kabir's character felt so realistic. Your own thoughts or were you inspired by someone?

Okay, that aside, here's the next question. Who is your favorite character from the story?

Okay, now we've to cut this short because our guests have arrived! *Drumrolls!*.

Please everyone, have a seat. We'll start soon!

I hope I've questions to answers too!? *Glares intensively at me.*

uhm, yeah. I think. *Scratches her unwashed head.*

I don't have-

-much time to waste. Yeah I know that. *Mutters to myself.* Gosh, sometimes I feel like I've made him a little too much of egoistic and arrogant!

Don't cut me off. I don't like that!

*ignores him.* Okay, let's start. Here two questions means the same, so I'll just ask one of them. Hi, Kabir. I know past was hard. I always wanted to know that during the time you fake dated her i.e before your marriage didn't you develop feelings for her?

*shifts uncomfortably as every gaze turns to him.* I don't know. I was more focused on revenge. But at a times I did find her to be the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. If that counts, then may be I had feelings for her.

*mumbles in whisper* most beautiful? *Smiles shyly.*

Well, readers you're free to assume whatever you want. Moving on, this one is for, Rivaah. How did you manage your first pregnancy as well as completing your studies and finding a job in completely new country?

*clears throat* I don't think I would've been able to do all this if I had no support. My father, he did the college transfer process. My Maasi in dehradun, she helped me a lot. And of course, Aarav, he was always there like my saviour. So I was not alone. I had so many people helping and supporting me.

You're so strong and lucky. But I wish you didn't have to go through all that. *glares accusingly at Kabir*

*glares back* the audacity! You made me like this!

*flusters.* O-okay, let's take this ahead. Reyansh! This one's for you.

*jumps on his butt in surprise* okay.

so the question is, Rey, can I have you at my home for one day? We both can play and eat. Even my little nephew will be there.

will she play doctor-doctor with me?

yeah, I think so? *Shrugs nonchalantly*

*looks up at his mother with his innocent doe eyes* mommy, can I?

I told you going to strangers house is forbidden! Didn't I?

*blinks in realisation* oh yeah. Sorry. May be when I grow up? *Tilts his head to one side looking guilty*

that's fine. I know she'll understand. *smiles at him.* The next question is for, finally! Radha ji!

*perks up like an overenthusiastic owl* someone called out my name?

*rolls her eyes sassily* yeah, someone actually remembers your character.

*disregards Anaya's comment* uhm yeah. You've a question. Is Kabir forgiven now? How you felt when Rey was born?

yeah I've forgiven him. If the one who he has wronged has done the same then who am I to hold grudges?

I was in complete bliss when I held my grandchild for the first time. He was crying out so loudly, kicking his legs and creating chaos the moment after he was out. Such a little firecracker! *Smiles admiringly at Reyansh who shies away* I was sad too. For my daughter. She had to go through everything without her husband by side and I felt pity towards her for that. But everything is okay now. So that's what matters the most.

*sighs* Okay, continuing, Ahana this one's for you. Whaf happened the night when you hooked up with Aryan?

*jerks up straight* SHE WHAT!?

*gulps in fear.*

dad, sit down. They are married now.

oh yeah. I forgot about that. But you mister- *points at Aryan* we've lot to talk. How dare you had one night stand with my precious daughter?

y-ye-yes, sir.

*breathes out in relief that she's not at the receiving end.*

*smirks evilly* Ahana, tell us, what exactly happened that night? *Wiggles her brows*

sex.

*blinks* *blinks* *blinks* that's one way to put it. O-okay, the next question is for, Tiara. How did you deal after the break up with Kabir?

*sits straight.* I focused on my career.

the next one is for you again. How did you leave him so fast when he demanded for break up?

I sacrificed my childhood, teenage and college life liking him. When I thought I finally have a chance with him, he came to me for break up after just meeting her once. I knew I had lost. The accident just erased his memories, not his feelings. So I gave up. Because holding onto something only I value and the other disregards felt stupid and worthless.

Okay. Coming back to you Mr. Raichand. What changes did the fatherhood do to you?

fatherhood taught me how to be patient. Believe me when I say he is a blabbermouth. He just keeps talking and talking and you have to wait for so long to know the real topic behind the long conversation. But in the end it's worth it. His smile and the way he looks accomplished flutters my heart. My boy is the cutest and most adorable child in this world. *picks up his small munchkin and peppers kisses all over his face.*

*giggles uncontrollably* st-stop, daddy!

Aww....

okay, Rivaah, may I have your attention please. This one's for you. Firstly, I love you, girl. Secondly, when you see fundamental similarities between Rey and Kabir, does that scares you because Kabir had a history of being a Heartbreaker which caused you all sufferings.

Reyansh and Kabir are similar in many ways. Their dominant nature, their way of stirring the conversation to their own advantage, getting their things done through sweet manipulation and many others. And I don't think it's wrong as long as it doesn't hurt anyone's feelings. As far as I know my son, he's sensitive too. He cares what others think and has wide perspective to understand complexities. At this age he knows many things that even adults like us fail to understand. And if you want to know about him being a ladies man? Then with his looks I think he'll have attention from everyone. But I believe my son will never take advantage of any girl and break her heart. I'll make him realize when he is of correct age, what his mom has been through. That'll teach him that playing with someone's feelings is not some game.

*ducks our head down shamefully.*

*whispers* why are you ashamed?

*whispers back* Reyansh will disappoint his mother. *looks away from his murderous glare* okay, moving ahead... Reyansh, this is for you. You know you're the most cutest, adorable and mature babyboy I've heard of. Can I keep you with me forever? Okay that sounds creepy.

daddy! *Climbs up his father's lap and stuffs his little face in the crook of his father's arm*

Karthik!

*flinches in shock* Ye-Yes, sir!?

find out who has asked this question. We need to settle some business privately. *Cracks his knuckles aggressively.*

*whispers to the reader who asked this question* sorry. Rip. So next question is for Mr. Pratap, Did you ever felt that Kabir was responsible for whatever happened to Rivaah before accident?

*takes no less than a second to answer* of course. And I still find it hard to forgive him for that.

*loses all his machoness and shrinks back like a scolded cat.*

*mutters* serves you right. Ahana, this one's for you. After you got to know that Kabir is not blood related to you, did it ever changed your equation with your brother?

*pursues her lips thoughtfully* I was so young that time. May be, seven or something. It didn't matter to me. Because honestly, Bhai used to pamper me alot and play with me so that was the most important thing to me. Nothing else.

oh okay. Senior Mr. Raichand. This question is for your. Are you happy now with Kabir's different company?

which father won't be proud to see his son making success on his own. I'm so happy that my son is building his own empire. Although, I'm dead set on giving Reyansh the responsibility of Raichand Industries.

*squirms on his spot*

oh, that's nice. Reyansh, sweety, I might need you to answer this one. Are your fingers still intact?

*raises his hand and spreads his fingers.* One, two, three, four, five. *Does the same for other hand.* Luckily, yes. *Sighs tiredly.*

Mr. Pratap, so a reader wants to know. What was your reaction when Kabir asked for Rivaah's hand for marriage.

I was shocked, scared and hesitant. But seeing her so happy, stopped me from saying anything that may break her heart. If I had known what his actual motive was to marry my daughter, I would have never let it happen. *Shakes his head in exasperation*

I know my son is not the best. But your daughter is very much happy now. Can we please refrain from talking about it? *Grits her teeth in annoyance *

*narrows her eyes and stares heatedly at her* the reader wanted to know. He didn't say it randomly.

you don't nee-

Okay! Let's continue. Reyansh, you're pretty much in demand. The next question is for you! What came to your mind when you see your mom and dad making out?

okay enough! Your readers are tainting my pure child. *Stands up and urges everyone to leave.* And you *points at me*

*looks around in panic* me!?

yes you! Don't ever barge into my office building anymore! Otherwise I'll personally escort you to your grave!

*chokes on her own breath* deal! *Nods vigorously*
