Aarohi who sat down on the floor, leaning against the bed, couldn't find any way to feel at ease. The scene still restricting to leave her mind.
"Why doesn't he say me the cause of following her?!"
"Patience matters!!" Vinson scoffed.
Deep rolled his eyes before frustrated, holding the man's collar. "If not for Tara's parents, I would have seen your end a long time ago!!"
Vinson didn't care the man's warning as he pushed him off, dusting his shirt, "Now, you might not know our cause but you do know yours," he smirked, "to have them returned safe, you must obey!!"
Deep looked away frustrated, the helpless situation choking him to death.
"I would love to remind you, that if you didn't....." Vinson smiled softly, "you would lose at both the ends!"
Vinson reached Deep who was glaring daggers at him, his hand gently patting the man's shoulder, "I don't do this, but once is not a problem. I repeat it, patience, matters!!"
Deep with a disgusted sigh pushed his hand off his body, dusting himself as though he needed and wanted to pure his soul, following Tara and Aryan who were busy in their own beautiful world.
Aarohi couldn't take any more of any thing, and she instinctively returned back to the hotel. Not caring to follow any of them anymore.
As she sat in silence, she couldn't help but feel numb by how helpless she felt.
Tara's parents?
She vividly remembered how she saw those breaking news on t.v channels, about the tragic accident of Nethin couple, the spot death throwing the future of the just developing company into chaos, leading to it's downfall. Only if not for mister Arshad Nethin who took care of everything, and Tara, even though being a teenager, she made the company give a massive comeback in the Industry field.
Though it was her childhood, she still remembered it, very very well!!
Now, what is it about her dead parents?
Want them to be returned safe?!
They're....alive?
The shocking realisation made her stop breathing for a second.
Aarohi had to force herself to inhale, as if she is trying to digest the truth. She got up on her feet as though immediately, feeling unsettled. Feeling weak in the knees.
Her feet began to move without her notice, she roaming left and right in front of the bed.
What should she do?
She didn't think the issue was this serious.
Did mister Arshad know about this?
Cause Tara, would definitely not know!!
Her hands clutched her head in frustration as she fell back on the bed, the soft mattress being her support.
What had Deep got himself into?!
If....if anything unexpected happens.....
Wouldn't he be the blamed one?!
She sighed in frustration, what the hell should she do now?
The unsettling feeling settled inside her, the one which was unknown of its own identification, whether worry for Tara or Deep? Fear for the mission or the consequences?
That unknown mixture of feelings swirling inside helped her in nothing but increasing her tension over the situation, the urge to do something filling up her chest.
With a deep inhale, Aarohi adjusted her hair which became a mess, motivating herself. She would change this all, if not all, at least, the helpful, or the most least, the needful!

Deep stood at the balcony of the room, in distance he could see the estate, the lights which were lit, making the night view so amazingly mesmerizing, that he could just feel it even with the distance he was at from it.
Tara was happy!
He recalled the moments when she cheerfully clicked pictures of the streets she roamed with Aryan, just like a child!
A small, faint smile appeared on his lips, remembering the memories of past from the time when he often went for outing with his family. His parents, his uncle and aunt, Tara and him. Such a beautiful family.
Deep could still vividly recall the time, Tara, when she was a kid, used to move like a free bird, her father literally used to run behind them, cause, well, Deep always assisted her, let it be business or being mischievous.
A beautiful time it was!
And after the tragic past, he never saw her such way again, unless.....today!!
Yes, she was really, really really, very happy!
Even more happy with.... Aryan being her side!!
And here he was....being the unexpected nightmare of her happiness!
What if he was wrong by choosing this path? Should he have dealt it in another way rather giving in very easily like this?
A sigh escaped him.
He would have definitely thought that way, only if it wasn't for Tara's parents.
Let the right and wrong paths aside, cause all he wanted was Tara's well being, her happiness!
Moreover, it's....too late to step back now!
All the sufferings, will end soon!!
He was just waiting for the right time! The time when he can know what is his enemy really wanting to get, from Tara, once he has his uncle and aunt free and out of danger! That time, he will end it all!!
He, will make sure, to make that man suffer for the sufferings he gave to him and his family, to his precious sister!
For the fate he had casted on them as a curse, he will turn his fate into an unfortunate forever as the repayment!!
**********
Vinson watched Deep standing alone in the short balcony that was attached to their room, looking out, the estate's night sight being his view!
Is he spying still.....or mourning himself?
A chuckle escaped him.
With a smirk, he turned away, making a call to his boss.
"Everything went as we planned, perfectly executed!!" Vinson informed proudly.
"I intentionally made the lady know about Tara's parents!"
"Very well!" The person on the call, his boss replied, "Her response is all I'm waiting for!!"
"It would definitely be interesting to see her react the way we want her to!!" Vinson chuckled.
"Nah!" The other person exclaimed with a smirk, "More unexpected, more interesting!!"
Vinson nodded in agreement, "You're right, it's more interesting that way!!"
"Alright, keep me updated!!" The person on the other side ended the call.
Vinson with a smirk turned back, only to see Deep standing in front, his gaze fixed sharp at him.
**********
It's been an hour that Aryan and Tara were unconscious.
As they lay on the soft mattress in peace, in contrast, Adhrit and Arya couldn't help but feel helpless.
They couldn't put their worry in words when Aman abruptly came into the chamber, informing about their grandchildren's health status.
Their concern heightening even more after being acknowledged of the place they collapsed at.
They both sat there, beside the bed, in silence, patiently hoping for them to wake up from the slumber which was longing more than enough of a time!
"Do they need to go through this?!" Arya questioned, with a shook, her voice faint enough, "They just..... returned!"
"You know it, fate..... can't be escaped!" Adhrit said with a sigh before seriousness took over his face. "It's time, for, the descendant should be chosen!!"
Arya tried to grapple with the situation, the uncertain fear of history being repeated itself casting her soul, "The affect was....on both!!" she thought out loud.
Adhrit agreed, it was!! A bitter chuckle escaped him, "The history....might really be repeating itself!"
As her husband exactly said out what she thought, her eyes gazed up for him, knowing the feeling was reciprocated, the one that feared them of future, the one that haunted them for years especially when their grandchildren were away, the one that reminded the bitter past and the one, that will stay until everything settles!!
As they were busy grappling with their own emotions, waiting for them to wake up, in concern and worry, their focus wavered just for a second when Aryan abruptly woke up as if he had had a terrifying nightmare! Struggling for breath!!
Adhrit and Arya almost immediately reached for him, making sure he was alright!
While Aryan was lost for few seconds until realisation hit him, of what had happened, the memories of the woman he had seen still haunting him, his head aching all over again, his eyes burning, tears swirling in them as he wavered his gaze around, scanning his surroundings like a lost child at museum.
His gaze wavered until they were settled on his grandparents, who were eagerly waiting for him to speak up.
"Are you..... alright?" Arya enquired.
Aryan half nodded before his conscience kicked in, reminding him of Tara and he started panicking, looking around for her, only to find her laid beside him. He ignoring the couple who waited for his response, reached for her, taking her into his arms, calling for her.
But nothing seemed to work, she was still unconscious.
Worry for her suppressed his pain for a moment as he tried to wake her up, her this state bothering him.
There once was a time where he used to think, that she was resting somehow, whenever she collapsed, getting relief from the pain she was fated with, at least for some time!
However, today was not the same, her unconsciousness suffocated him suddenly, as if she was in a threat.
Why was he feeling that way?
Ceasing his thoughts Tara shot her eyes wide open with a sharp breath as if she was in loss of oxygen, her eyes unfocused, her chest rising up and down constantly and fastly. As if she had seen something very terrifying.
"Tara?!"
She had to look at him for a second, making sure it's all settled now before tears began cascading her eyes.
Tara who was in his arms, hugged him, sobbing against his chest, unable to notice her grandparents presence, who watched them with a sense of relief mixed with the still fragments of concern.
