" What do you want?"

" Don't you know?" Came the erry reply.

" Your intentions, yes. What are your plans this time?" the other voice demanded.

" My plans will lead to my intentions for sure, this time. Keep whoever you want safe, but everyone will face the consequences of their actions." The voice claimed and hanged up.

Vikram sighed the man had a great plan up his sleeve this time. Let's just hope that his loved ones survive.

Mr. Raheja was lounging in the garden with his wife.

His wife was currently inside the house instructing people to arrange stuff for Juhi's arrival.

He sighed with happiness, at least his son was getting settled. He deserved the happiness.

A message beep was heard, distracting Mr. Raheja from his thoughts. When he glanced at the phone, it turned out to be his wife's.

After 35+ plus years of marriage, they had no secrets. So he glanced at the message that stunned him.

Verma: You better make your son understand. If he crosses lines, I won't hesitate to harm him.

'She was in touch with Verma? Verma! He was going to destroy their lives, this time!' He was stunned.

He opened the chat to find multiple interactions between the two.

Before he could go through them, the phone was snatched from his hand.

The rightful owner of the phone looked at him.

She was shivering from head to toe.

" You are in touch with Verma?" he asked calmly.

" You snooped through my phone." she tried diverting the topic.

" Don't play games with me, Hina! You have always been an ignorant mother to my child. I said nothing. But this is unacceptable." He shouted.

" Your child? Is he not my child?" She screamed back.

" If that is the case, why talk to that man?" he asked her.

" Because that boy is also in pain. Why can't you see that?"she countered.

Mr. Raheja looked at the person called his wife. She was being indifferent towards her own son for that boy!

" Why can't you see the pain you put our son through?" He demanded.

Hina had no answer for that.

She was guilty of not giving a beautiful childhood to her son. She was the reason why her son turned out as this a quiet brooding man. He had so many walls around his heart that nobody got through it.

Tears flowed down her intricate face but it didn't break Mr. Raheja. Not today!

He proclaimed, " You chose your nephew over our son! That nephew who wants nothing but ruin our lives. He wouldn't shy away from harming our children." He was just recalling everything.

Mrs. Raheja couldn't help feel guilty about herself.

Everybody was in pain because of that one night.

She read his text again and again, broke down everytime she read it, praying to the almighty for the safety of her children.
