Hi my lovely readers!

Here comes the next part!

Two teams approached to rescue, making their own set of plan. Otherside Arjun made his own plan, having observed everyone he thought to rile up them.

Targeting a goon, "Waise tum log kuch hasil nahi karne wale ho!" He stated startling the person beside him and others.

A goon approached near, "Kya kaha bey?"

Arjun looked at him without fear, "Yahi ki tum log itne bewakuf kaise ho!" He smirked.

The person beside him growled, "Kya karrahe ho! Chup raho!"

Arjun royally ignored him, moving his attention to the goons, "Toh mei yeh keh raha ki Aaj tak tum jaise kidnappers ko nahi dekha meine."

"Kya bola rey tu?" A goon came near pointing gun at Arjun.

Arjun took a step forward, "kyu behre ho? Sunai nahi diya kya kaha! Kaise kidnappers ho, abi tak kisiko call karke yeh bhi nahi bataya ki tum log hum sab ko kidnap kiya na tum log apne demands government ke samne rakha. Toh mei tum logon ko bewakuf nahi toh kya kahu?"

"Ab toh mujhe yeh bhi lag raha ki tumlog koi terrorist nahi." He stated hurting their ego riling up further.

The person beside shook head at his no self preservation attitude. The goon got angry grabbed Arjun by collar, pointing gun at his temple, "tujhe mei chodunga nahi."

Arjun though felt a pull on his injuries, smirked as he is the place which he wanted. With a swift movement he caught the goon hand twisted it, the crackling of sounds could be heard snatched gun from his hold and pointed at his head, "Everyone drop your guns!"

The goons caught off guard pointed their weapons at Arjun surrounding him, "Chodo usse warna goli ander aur tumara zindagi bahar!"

"Sher kabhi maut se nahi darta aur mei ek sheru hu tere jaise ache achon ko ander karwa diya." He replied shocking them.

"Police?" A goon asked in surprised tone.

Arnav smirked with a nod, "ACP Arjun Rawte! Naam toh suna hoga!"

The goons felt shivers ran through their body, ofcourse why not even they haven't seen Arjun the reputation is enough to spread the word across.

Arjun felt satisfied watching fear in their eyes. The person who was following him felt proud but got worried as he put himself in danger.

Arjun pointed gun at the terrorist, "Guns neeche!" He warned once again. The goons shivered lowered their weapons.

Arjun glanced at the person, "Sab passengers ko bus ke ander leke jao."

Following his orders, he helped all the passengers to climb the bus. Once everyone were inside, he gave nod, "Shera sab ander hai tum bhi ajao."

Arjun declined, "Nahi! Tum insab ko kahi safe place leke jao."

The person without any hesitation came down, "Nahi, Not without you!" He replied firmly.

Arjun stared at him with confusion. The momentary distraction was enough for the goon to push Arjun.

Arjun felt uncontrollable pain on his right side due to push, took a step back gasping in pain, "Ahh!"

The person was beside him instantly, "Shera kya hua?" His eyes widened noticing red blotch soaking the shirt.

Arjun shrugged his hold, "I'm fine!" He replied controlling his pain.

The goons surrounded them pointing guns, "ACP Rawte! Aaj tumara maut ka din hai." He smirked about to pull the trigger.

Arjun stood strong without fear, just then a firing broke shocking the terrorist.

The two teams as they approached the clearing saw the scenario immediately got into action.

Arjun smiled watching his team coming from right side, while the person felt glad looking at black dressed armed team, smiled looking at the chief.

The team came to him got emotional seeing him after long time, same with him but it's not time to show those. Sam handed him gun, "Let's take them down!"

Arjun nodded turned to fight frowned as another team taking them down. For time being he ignored and started fighting.

The chief though fighting with the goons, took notice of him signalled his men who quickly approached startling him, "Sir! Aapko humare saath ana hoga."

Arjun found it wierd, about to reply but a shout from the passengers got his and everyone attention.

They saw the bus moving, Arjun without any delay, "Sam, yaha sambhalo!" And sprinted towards the bus.

He ran quickly ignoring the pull of his injuries, his only aim to save those innocent people.

The chief gritted his teeth, "Team, Follow him!" Knowing ETF is capable of handling these people.

Arjun run as fast as possible ignoring the pain flared through his recently healed injuries, at last caught up with bus held the bumper and climbed it. A goon tried to make him loose his grip, he slammed the gun on Arjun knuckles repeatedly.

Arjun hissed in pain but didn't lose his  grip. Freeing his other hand almost losing the support, caught the gun difficult. Using his full strength he snatched gun from his hand and threw it and climbed onto the bus, a goon came following him.

Both standing on top of bus started fighting. The goon threw a punch, Arjun blocked it with his hand. Holding his fist he twisted the hand kicking back of his knee making him scream in pain.

Arjun satisfied at his pain filled voice, "Masum logon ki Jaan lega tu? Arjun ke hote kabhi nahi hoga." He growled kicking him.

The goon screamed in pain, yet fought back. His eye fell on Arjun's leg smirked grabbed the leg keeping pressure.

Arjun felt raw pain pulsing through his body screamed, "Ahhh!" Pushed the goon away.

He felt unbearable pain, didn't see the goon approaching near. At last second he tucked the punch thrown at him, fought back holding his both hands, Arjun twisted them, the cracking sound of bones making him scream in raw pain.

Glaring at him furiously he kicked him on chest using full force. The goon fell off from the bus.

Arjun then climbed down the bus saw one more terrorist driving the bus grabbed him by neck, "aaj tu apne bhagwan ka pyaara hoga."

Both wrestled while passengers screamed in fear as the bus moved in zigzag. Arjun using his full strength pushed the goon out of bus took the steering, his eyes widened as they approached near a cliff.

Arjun applied sudden break taking the control of whole bus. All anticipated in fear as the bus came near to cliff stopped at the edge took a relief.

The few moments Arjun felt his life revolving around him, fear of not able to see his brothers and family again, sighed as bus came to halt.

Arjun looked back at passengers, "Sab bus se neeche utro!"

All rushed to get down in panic, the front part of the bus got heavy moved forward forward shocking them.

Arjun looking ahead into the valley gulped "Ek ek karke aram se neche jayiye." He requested in unusual calmness.

The passengers heard him this time slowly one by one got down. As the last person got down Arjun sighed in relief got up from his place.

As he took a step towards the door, the bus slid shocking everyone. Arjun took support of something on the side closing his eyes.

"Arjun/Sir!" His team panic voices came through. Arjun opened his eyes looked down, the bus hanging on cliff and he had no way to move forward without causing imbalance.

The two teams after captivating the other terrorist came after to help Arjun but their feet shook watching the bus hanging on cliff with Arjun inside it.

"Sameer, kuch karo Arjun ko bachao!" Sakshi requested with teary eyes, not able to see him again in life and death situation.

No one is different as they saw him risking his life again to save innocent people.

While two people felt proud they were also worried as it would make someone angry if anything happen to him.

Sam and Yuvi approached near the bus, "Kaise hum usse bachayenge?"

Sam looked around, "Chotu, get a rope!" He ordered.

Before chotu could bring the rope someone else was already on it. The person who was following brought the rope and threw inside the bus, towards Arjun "Shera, rassi ko pakdo!"

Arjun saw the rope caught it wrapping around his hand. Sam and Yuvi approached the person, "Arjun, try to come forward, we will hold on!"

Arjun looked down gulped slowly left the support which he held. Taking support of rope he took a step forward.

The bus reeked moving forward startling them. Sudden movement made Arjun to fell aside as his hold on rope lost, called out "Sam!"

"Arjun/Sir!" They yelled in fear.

Arjun looked down, he felt his end near but the thought of his family, his vow to give justice to his dear ones, his years of pain and penance hoping one day he would go back to his home, everything flashed before his eyes, "Nahi, Arjun tum aise haar nahi mann sakte. Tum Abhimanyu nahi ho ki chakravyuh se bahar na aa sake. Arnav Raizada ke bete ho, aur unke bete kabhi haar nahi mann sakte. I need to get out!" With a determined look, he took steps forward ignoring the bus tilting towards valley.

Suddenly the bus moved forward, everyone yelled in shock, "Arjun!" 

Arjun seeing a gap jumped out, his hands caught something held onto it.

All moved forward, sighed in relief watching him holding the rock, The person immediately threw the rope, "Shera, pakdo!"

Arjun saw the rope held it, and with help of them he climbed up. The bus fell down making a huge blast. Arjun looked down sighing, felt a soft body hugging him.

He wrapped his arms around her, "Shh.. I'm fine Sakshi!" He whispered softly consoling her.

His eye fell on his friends moved her took a step felt them hugging, replied, "Itne jaldi mera peecha nahi chutne wale tumdono se" he teased.

"Chup kar!" Yuvi whacked on his head.

Arjun faked a hiss, "Ouch, maara kyu? Lag raha!"

Sam glared at him gave a pinch, "Lagne keliye hi maara!"

Arjun smiled at them, suddenly he got push back a step felt his team hugging him smiled wrapping arms, "I'm fine team, kuch nahi hoga mujhe when I have such a good team, aur tum log itne jaldi mujhse chutkara nahi paa sakte, Samjhe yaa Samjhaun." He replied.

The team smiled at his trademark dialogue, "Aap hume chahe kitne bhi sys sessions denge hum aapko kho nahi sakte sir!"

Arjun gave a nod at their love and respect. His gaze then fell on the passengers, "Aap sab thik hona?"

"Haa Sir! Aapke wajah se hum sab sahi salamat hai. Aap sach mei bahadur ho. Thank you!" A passenger replied on behalf of everyone.

Arjun gave a curt nod, "Chotu, inn sab ke Jane ki intezaam karlo!"

"Uske jarurat nahi ACP Arjun!" A voice came over startling the team. Arjun looked at him with a frown.

Just then a army bus arrived, the person asked the passengers to get on, "aap sab ko Delhi bus station mei chod denge yeh bus."

The passengers thanking them left. Arjun ignoring others, "Sam, Hume chalna hoga!"

Sam gave a nod, Yuvi taking notice of his wounds, "Pehle bandage kardeta hu."

Arjun denied immediately, "Nahi! Joh karna hai baad mei. Mujhe jaldi se jald yaha se jana hoga."

The person following him interfered, "Shera nahi tum kahi nahi Jaa rahe ho?"

Arjun and others frowned, "Tum! Sab ke saath tum nahi gaye? Aur mujhe rokne wala tum ho kaun?"

"ACP Karan Goenka!" A voice replied. Arjun got shocked, "aur aap?"

"DIG Karthik Goenka!" Karan replied proudly. Arjun and team startled at their identity. Arjun narrowed his eyes at Karan who followed him, "Tum mujhe follow karrahe tey? Kyu?"

Before Karan could reply Karthik stated, "We are not answerable to you, It's our duty. Now, if you may ... Come along!"

Arjun narrowed his gaze, growled "Never!" He had an idea what's going on while his team frowned.

"Arjun! Don't force me!" Karthi glared.

Arjun scoffed, "I know rules Sir!" He gritted his teeth, "You can't hold a person without his consent. Sam chalo yaha se!"

Arjun moved towards the vehicle, Karthik clenched his fist, "You left me with no choice! Team stop him!"

Karthik team moved forward circling him from all sides shocking Arjun and others.

Sam and his team didn't understand what's going on, "Sir! Aap mere team member ko aise custody mei nahi le sakte!"

Karthik looked at him, "ACP Rathod, he may be your team member, but right now he is a responsibility of Delhi police to take him back home."

Sam and Yuvi understood took a step back, glanced at their friend spoke softly "Arjun go with them."

Arjun startled glared at them, "Tum dono bhi!" While they gave a nod, he clenched his fist looking straight at Karthik, "Nahi, I'm not going back. Jaa kar keh dijiye jinhone aapko yaha beja. Arjun apne marzi ke khilaf kahi nahi jayega."

"Sir, aap kyu nahi rokh rahe unko?" Ayesha enquired watching him take a step back. The team has same question on their faces.

"Kyunki mei chahta hu Arjun apne Ghar chale jaye." Sam replied asking them to move back. The team followed his orders.

Arjun tried to go away but Karthik entered inside the circle and held his hand, "Stop Arjun! Tum yaha se agar kahi Jaa rahe ho woh hai tumara Ghar, Joh tumhe kehna hai woh tum uske samne kaho. As we are speaking, he is on his way!"

Arjun went stiff hearing him, At the same time few vehicles approached. Before Arjun could know he found himself in a protective embrace.

Arnav as soon he landed in Delhi, got Arjun's location came asap. All the way he was worried for his safety who yet again attracted danger.

Arriving at the place, He got down and saw him surrounded by Karthik's team.

Arjun heart raced as white Porsche stopped. Arnav got out of vehicle, his face rigid and angry walked inside, the sight of Arjun calmed him a little over powered by anger at his actions took quick steps, "Arjun!" took him into hug. His heart calming at his presence.

Arjun at first relaxed but as reality dawned he wriggled in his hold, "Chodo mujhe!" and pushed Arnav slightly.

The push brought froth Arnav's anger, "Arjun!" He gritted his teeth raising hand.

Arjun closed his eyes to feel the impact, upon not sensing he opened his eyes saw him lowering his hand. Arnav took a step forward caught his hand, gritted his teeth "Koi tamasha nahi chup chap chal mere saath!"

Arjun remained firm not moving, shook head, "Nahi!"

"Arjun! Don't test my patience!" Arnav growled on verge of losing his patience.

Arjun yet again remained stubborn, "Nahi mujhe nahi jana aapke saath aur aap mujhse jabardasti nahi kar sakte!" He said taking a step away moving back.

Infuriated Arnav took a step forward caught his arm in firm grip pulled closer, Arnav stared at him with stern gaze sneered, "Arjun you are already in enough trouble. If you don't want me to use my hand infront of everyone , stop your nonsense attitude and get in the car." He warned in dangerous tone

Arjun flinched at the anger and sterness in his eyes, widened eyes at the warning, "You wouldn't!"

Arnav took a step back crossing his arms,  scoffed in anger "Try me!"

Arjun glared at him with hurt, "I hate you!"

Hurt flashed across Arnav's face, masked it quickly, "So it be Arjun! Now get in car before I tan your behind." He spoke slow at firm so only he could hear him.

Arjun saw the hurt flashed in his eyes felt someone stabbing knife through his heart, experienced hundred times more pain. The threat being real as his brother wouldn't hesitate yet being hot headed, "Nahi! Joh karna hai kar lijiye!"  took a step to go away.

Arnav furious took a step forward halted as Arjun screamed in pain. Arjun in hurry to go away from Arnav not taking account of his injuries took hurried steps felt hot pain rushing through his leg let out a painful hiss.

Arnav stance changed to that of concern in an instance, "Arjun!" He called him softly, coming near kneeled before him.

The blood stains on his clothes made Arnav livid, looked up at Arjun. The glare enough to send shivers through him. Without a word, Arnav got up holding him gently yet firmly barked "Karthik call a doctor."

Yuvi hesitated took a step forward, "Mei dekhta hu!"

Arnav gaze turned stern, but didn't stop as his priority is Arjun gave a curt nod helped Arjun towards car, "beitho!"

Arjun gulped at the sterness sat quietly. Yuvi glancing at him shook head kneeled before him, rolled up his pant. Arjun flinched as the cloth rubbed against the wound. Yuvi took cotton dipped in antiseptic to clean the blood.

Arjun hissed in pain as the medicine burned, took back his leg, "Yuvi nahi jal raha!"

Arnav felt stabbing pain his heart hearing his painful hissed clenched fish in anger yet  embraced him into hug, "Make it quick doctor!"

Yuvi nodded cleaning the wound, Arjun pressed face more into Arnav's midriff hissing in pain. Arnav closed his eyes, pulled him closer caressing his back but didn't offer any comfort too hurt with his actions.

Yuvi tied a new bandage took a step back,  "Jao Arjun!" He said softly.

Arjun glared at him, "Nahi!"

Arnav clenched his fist, "Go inside Arjun Raizada, I won't say it again! that's an order!"

Arjun gulped, no matter he can't never win against that voice, sat inside without a word.

Arnav turned to Karan & Karthik, "Thank you!"

They nodded, "bhai aap usse aram se baat kijiye!" Karan spoke softly.

Arnav didn't reply to that, "Ghar mei baat kare hai Karan! Come along!" and he was about to sit inside the car.

Sam stepped forward, "Bhai, kya hum aapke saath aa sakte hai?"

Arnav turned back swiftly ,  "You lost the right to call me brother the moment you both lied about his whereabouts!" He said sternly.

Both looked down in guilt as it's their mistake. Arnav turned back, "Abi I am not in a mood to listen or understand your pov. My priority is someone else."

Arnav sat inside ordered the driver "Drive!" saw Arjun leaning onto window with tears. His heart itched to comfort him but his actions had hurt him too deep remained quiet.

Karthik watching them both felt sad, "Chinta mat karo, uska gussa bol raha hai. Woh apne Arjun ko uske doston se dur nahi rakhega. Just give him time to settle."

They nodded, the team approached them. Shree looked at Sam, " Sir, kya hum Arjun sir se nahi mil sakte?"

Sam had no answer to give, Karthik took the matter into his hands. He saw the love, concern and respect they had for Arjun spoke, "Not now, abi tum log Arjun se nahi mil sakte. I will try to talk to Arnav about this lekin tab tak you need to take a step back."

Sam agreed, "He is right! Humhe Mumbai keliye nikalna hai." He said blankly.

The team hesitated to leave, Karthik watching them, "Agar tum sab ko koi case handle nahi karne back at Mumbai, you are all welcomed to stay at my house."

Sam hesitated but looking at team eagerness decided to inform IG Coelho took his permission, turned to them.

"IG sir mann gaye, agar koi jaruri case nahi atha tab tak our junior team will look into cases." Sam replied bringing smiles on their faces.

Karthik glanced at Karan, "Show them our house and come to RM. Arnav needs to know what happened."

Karan nodded and took the team along. Karthik left to RM.

On the way, Arnav mobile rang attended the call, "Maan, Relax! Mil gaya woh, we are on our way back." He assured glancing at Arjun who sat lifelessly felt his heart breaking.

Maan ending the call, saw two pair of eyes looking at him with eagerness. Noticing dried tears stains on his kid's place he remembered how much Ansh got effected by Arjun's act.

Before few hours, Ansh woke up unaware of Arjun's act, looking at the time he frowned, "Aaj koi mujhe uthane nahi aye? Clg keliye puchne bhi nahi."

"Chodo, aaj muft mei chuti mil gai mujhe. Bhaiyu ke saath time spend karunga Aaj!" He smiled to himself and got ready.

He dashed to Arjun's room yelling, "Bhaiyuuuu!" Stopped in tracks noticing the empty bed. His frown deepened upon not finding him inside washroom, "Bhaiyu kaha gae? Unhe toh Aram karne haina!"

With confusion he came down saw servants of the house tensed. Looking at Maan and Shivanya in the hall he sighed in relief looked around for Arjun, "Bhai, bhabhi... Bhaiyu kamre mei nahi hai, aapko pata hai kaha hai woh?"

Both got startled at his question glanced at eo in worry. Ansh saw their exchange his frown deepening, "Kya hua bhai? Aap dono pareshan lag rahe?"

At the same time, Khanna came inside not noticing the tension, "Maan Sir, Hume abi pata chala ki Arjun baba jis bus mei Jaa rahe uss bus ko kuch terrorist ne hagwa liya!"

They got shocked at the news, Ansh felt his world falling apart again, "Bhaiyu ki Jaan khatre mei hai?" He mumbled with tears.

Their hearts ached for him, Shivanya nodded at khanna to leave cupped his face, "Anshu baby... Dekho bhaiyu ko kuch nahi hoga."

Ansh shook head, "Woh bus mei kyu hai bhabhi?"

Maan clenched his fist angry at Arjun as well worried, "Baby, tum shanth hojao. Bhaiya arahe woh Arjun ko wapas lekar ayenge."

Ansh looked at his faces, anger clearly visible. He understood the reason for hurt, "woh bus mei isliye hai kyunki unhone phirse Ghar chodke bhaag rahe tey, haina bhai!"

Maan nodded slowly breaking his innocent heart. Tears rolled down his cheeks, "woh..aise kaise kar sakte bhai? Kya woh humse pyaar nahi karte? Kya hum unke parivaar nahi? Six years bhai... Six years hum sab kitne tadpe unke liye aur woh phirse chodke Jana chahte hai. Why bhai? Why?" He cried angrily.

Shivanya hugged him, "Ansh calm down baby! Apne bhaiya pe bharosa rakho woh Arjun ko wapas lekar hi aayenge."

Ansh shook his head, "Woh yaha rehna hih nahi chahta bhabhi. Jab se aye hai unhone sabko hurt kiya, aapse, bhaiya se, bhai se sab se badtameezi kiya, meine sab dekha phir bhi chup raha. Woh mere bhaiyu nahi hai bhabhi unhe bas apne zidd apne sapna wahi sab kuch hai, chahe jiske liye woh hum sab ko kitna bhi hurt kare unhe koi farak nahi padta. Acha hai woh chale gaye, jinke seene mei apne parivaar ke koi matlab nahi aise insaan ki humare parivaar mei koi jagah nahi let him go."

Maan got startled at his words, "Ansh kya bol rahe ho?"

Ansh looked at him, "Sach bhai! Humara bhaiyu nahi hai woh... Woh toh kabka apne rishte tod diya... Joh insan hai woh keval ek aisa insaan jinhe apne zidd, gusse ke alawa kuch nahi dikhta. He is not our brother, maar gaya mera bhaiyu!"

"Aryansh!" Maan raised his hand in anger.

Ansh flinched closing his eyes, not feeling impact he opened them. Maan controlled his anger calmed down lowering hand, gave a stern glare, "aaj keh diya dubara mat kehna! I won't tolerate it Ansh. Chahe woh kitna bhi badtameezi kare he will always be our brother aur ye mat bulo tum ki woh tumse bada hai. I don't want you disrespecting him. Haa gussa hu mei usse, naraz bhi uske iss harkat se lekin itna bhi nahi apna rishta Tod dhu. Tum abi chote ho Ansh, tum woh nahi dekh paa rahe ho joh hum bade dekh rahe, your bhaiyu bhale he isn't showing woh hum sab se jyada suffer ho raha hai. Aur rahi baat uske zidd ki, toh uske peeche wajah bhi hoga."

"Don't let your anger cloud over your love towards Arjun. He can take our anger but not our hate bacha." Maan mumbled softly as Arjun would break.

Ansh looked down ashamed of his words, he can never hate his bhaiyu but the anger of running away hurt his heart and he spoke those things apologized, "Sorry bhai!"

Maan softened his gaze took him into embrace, "It's okay bacha! I can understand your anger and concern." He comforted stroking his back.

Ansh let go off his anger broke down ok his comforting embrace, "I want my bhaiyu back bhai!"

"He will be back baby, it's a promise!" Maan replied calming him.

Shivanya took her child into embrace, "Ansh, Aaj joh baat tune kiya apne bhaiya ke samne mat bolo. Jante ho na woh Arjun se bahut pyaar karte hai aur tumare aise baat se woh hurt aur gussa honge."

Ansh nodded, pressing face into her, Sorry bhabhi!"

Maan coming to present saw them both kneeled before Ansh, caressed his cheek softly "Bhaiya Arjun ke lekar arahe, I want you to behave!"

Ansh gave a nod, mumbling a quick sorry. Though Maan is angry he didn't want Ansh to misbehave knowing Arnav wouldn't leave the matter of Arjun running away again that easily.

As on clue, they heard car sounds looked at entrance in anticipation. Outside, as vehicle stopped Arnav got down, opening otherside of car door he ordered, "Get down!"

Arjun ignored him remained inside stubbornly testing Arnav patience yet again. Arnav clenched his fist controlling his anger spoke sternly, "Arjun get down of the damn car!"

Arjun flinched at his tone, moved away further infuriating Arnav, "You left me with no choice!"  He sneered looking at the security barked, "All of you go away!"

The security saluted him and left leaving both brothers alone. Arnav without any delay fastened his hold on Arjun's wrist pulled him out harshly turned him against the car, raised his hand bringing on his back swift and hardly.

Everything happened within a blink for Arjun, felt stinging pain across his bottom. Arnav brought down his hand again sending word across, "You are in enough trouble Arjun, ab chup chap ander chalo before I lose my patience!" He spoke sternly glaring at him.

Holding his wrist, Arnav dragged a reluctant Arjun inside albeit keeping his pace slow taking mind of his recent injuries.

The family felt relief washed over watching both. Maan at first felt happy, soon it turned into anger noticing the resistance, took a step forward raised his hand, "Arjun!"

Arjun closed eyes to feel impact opened them saw his brother standing in between. Arnav noticing Maan's anger caught his hand, shook head softly "Nahi Maan!"

Suddenly a sound of slap echoed in the mansion startling them. Karthik and Rishab who arrived stopped in tracks looking ahead.

Arjun placed hand on his cheek looked up in shock. Shivanya seeing Arnav stopping Maan moved ahead and placed a tight slap across his face shocking everyone.

Arjun looked at her angrily, "Tumari itni himmat!"

"Aap!" Shivanya cut him off in middle, spoke sternly " Tum nahi aap kehna seekho. Tumse Umar mei aur rishte mei dono mei badi hu. Tumare bhaiya ka dharam patni aur iss ghar ki bahu. Tum sab ki bhabhi hu, bhale Arnav yaa Maan tumhe kuch na kahe, apne beizaati karne se lekin I'm not Arjun."

"Tum....!" Arjun growled, as Shivanya glared at him immediately rectified, "aap..!" He tried to say something.

Shivanya shook her head, "Chup! Bilkul chup! I'm not done talking"

She held his arm giving a good shake, "Himmat kaise hui Ghar se phirse bhaagne ki. Che saal you did enough damage ab kya karne chahte ho? Bina apne tabiyat aur ghaav ke parwa kiye  tum ghar se bhaag gaya, what the hell were you thinking."

Arjun not hearing her, "Mujhe aapke koi bhi baat sunhe ki interest nahi hai. I want to leave! Kahiye aapke pati se mujhe jane ko."

Shivanya glared at him, "Mera pati mujhse pehle tumara kuch lagta hai Arjun. Agar bhul gae yaad dila du ki Mera pati hi hai jinhone maa-papa ke baad apne sab kuch chodke tum sab ko bada kiya. Mera pati hi apne Kushi se pehle tum sab ke Kushi ko aage rakta. Ek cheez keliye mana kya kardiya tum ne ghar chod diya. Don't forget woh tumare bhaiya hai aur ainda address him such, chahe tum unse naraz ho kuch bhi ho lekin Arnav ko bhaiya aur Maan ko bhai nahi kaha na warna mujhse bura koi nahi hoga." She warned looking into his eyes sternly.

Arjun felt uncontrollable at her gaze, the gaze stern yet compassionate as a mother, casted his eyes down, "aap mujhe majbur nahi karsakte Mrs Raizada!"

"Arjun!" Shivanya yelled in anger raising her hand, his thick stubborn head not listening to any of her words.

Arnav lost his cool, stepped in between stopping her, "Rehne dho Shivi! Usse kuch samjha ke koi faida nahi. Go back to your room and think of your actions!" 

Arjun not having learnt of his lesson, looked at him angrily, "Nahi jaunga kya kar loge aap?" He yelled shocking them.

Arnav clenched his fist, "Awaz neeche Arjun! I don't appreciate your loud tone nor your actions!"

Arjun not backing down, "agar itna hi problem hai mere attitude se toh kyu lekar aye mujhe yaha, nahi rehna iss ghar mei! Mujhe wapas Jana hai!" He replied firmly angering them further.

Boring stern eyes into him, Arnav warned "Kahi nahi jaa rahe ho tum! Chup chap apne kamre mei jaa!"

Arjun shook head, "Nahi! nahi! Mujhe nahi rehna yaha! Dum ghut raha mera yaha!" He yelled furiously throwing the vase making shattering sound.

Angered at his behaviour and stubbornness, Arnav slapped him tightly across his face,"Go to your room before I really lose it!"

Arjun looked at him in hurt, "Aapko mujhe maarne ke alawa kya atha hai? Jabardasti mujhe ghar mei kaid toh karsakte lekin phirse bhaag jaunga iss baar itna dur ki aap log mujhe kbhi wapas lekar na sake." He spoke shocking them.

"Arjun!" Arnav raised his hand stopped himself at end minute. At the same time, Karthik mobile rang, listening to other side his eyes widened in worry, "Maan switch on the Tv! Quick!"

Maan frowned but followed his words, "Change to news channel!"

The screen changed shocking the family. Shivanya read the headline, ACP Arjun Rawte - Delhi Hero.

The news reporter read, "Exclusive update- Abhi abhi kabar aya ki kal raat kuch terrorist ne Delhi to Mumbai Jane Wale bus ko hijack kiya. Bhara gante unlogon ne sab ko apne kaid mei rakha tha. Khabar yeh aya ki usse bus mei dho police officers tey jinhone ne apne teams ko information pass Kiya. Unke message se humare Delhi ke police, Mumbai ke police se milke unn terrorist ko arrest kar liya hai. Usi dauran hume ek aise officer ki bahaduri ko sunne mile jinhone apne Jaan ko parva kare bina sab ko bachaya."

A footage of Arjun fight with goon on the bus is played. Looking at that the family  felt proud of him who rescued many lives but soon it turned into shock watching him again risking his life. Their heart came into mouth watching bus hang at cliff and Arjun about to fall into the valley.

A shattering sound brought everyone out of their shock. Arnav watching him risking his life and about to fall into valley couldn't control his anger, grabbed the vase threw it at the screen breaking it part.

Arnav turned his furious glare onto Arjun who flinched taking a step back. Arnav not moving his gaze took out the mobile called his PA, "I want the footage taken down within next 5 minutes. Warna mujhse bura koi nahi hoga. Sue the channel and the person who is responsible for privacy breach."

Arjun got dumbfounded, "aap aise nahi karsakte!"

Arnav took a step forward, "You are not in a position to demand anything. Mei aaj tak guilt mei tha ki zindagi mei pehli baar tumari koi wish pura na kar paa raha hu, but watching this... I am very well right on my decision."

Maan agreed, "Bhaiya sahi keh rahe, tum phirse force join nahi karoge Arjun! If needed we will take you back to Newyork and settle their revoking our Indian citizenship."

Arjun widened his eyes at the threat, revoking Indian citizenship would no longer make him an officer, shook head, "aap aise nahi kar sakte!"

Maan ignored him, Arnav still furious his vision closed with Arjun hanging in middle of life and death shivered what if something bad happened, he would have lost him forever.

The argument between Maan and Arjun brought him into senses, without a word he took long steps towards him caught his hand, "Apne Jaan ko khatre mei dalne keliye you will definitely get it from me lekin fhilal go to your Arjun. A word from your stupid mouth, you will not like the consequences followed."

Arjun got quiet, he didn't want to anger him anymore who is already hurting watching the video.

Ansh shocked at the video saw hurt flashed across his family faces got angry. He ran towards Arjun pushed him with tears pooled in his eyes, "How could you do that? Kaise apne Jaan ko daav par lagaya aapne? Ek baar bhi humare khayal nahi aya aapko? Bhaiya ka kya hoga, Bhai ko kitna dard hoga aapke iss harkat se? Aur mera... Apko mei bhi khayal mei nahi aya? Ek baat bhi yeh nahi socha aapne yeh sab dekhe hum sab pe kya beetega."

"Ansh!" Arjun tried to speak not able to watch his tears. Ansh furious pushed him away shocking them, "Nahi hu mei Ansh, ansh mujhe keval mere bhai bhulate aur aap nahi ho mere bhaiyu. Aapke wajah se bhaiya ke ankhon mei ansu aya... Joh mei kabhi bardash nahi karunga. I hate you!" He yelled shocking them escp. Arjun.

Arjun felt his world fell apart at his words, glanced at him with tears. He may be acting tough and stern with others but Ansh always had a special place inside him. He is his baby, and hearing those words he felt something breaking inside.

Arnav saw Arjun's soulless eyes, got angry at Ansh caught his hand, "Yeh kya tarika apne bhaiyu se baat karne ka. Maafi managh abi ke abi."

Ansh remained adamant furious at Arjun. Arnav fed up with both of their attitude, left his hold, "Joh karna hai kar lo. Sab apne manmani karne lage! Ek ghar se Jana chahta hai toh dusra badtameezi pe utar Aaya." He spoke too hurt with everything going on.

Ansh looked at him with tears, "Aisa mat bolo bhaiya!"

"Toh kaise bolu Anshu? Kaise baat karrahe tey tu apne bhaiyu se yeh jante hue ki woh tumse kitna attached hai." Arnav spoke dejectedly.

"Arjun!" Karthik concern voice got their attention. Arjun went numb hearing him, felt stabbing pain inside his heart. His vision clouded with tears and Ansh words ringing inside his ears felt black spots behind his eyes, let the pain consume him closed eyes.

Karthik watching him moved towards quickly caught him, Arjun fell unconscious in Karthik arms shocking everyone.

"Arjun!" They surrounded him, Rishab  caught his wrist felt rapid pulse, "Quick! Kamre mei le chalo!"

Arnav picked a unconscious Arjun placing hand below his knees and back. Coming upstairs to his room Arnav laid him bed sat near his head caressing his hair.

Rishab looked at family advised to be out while Maan came with his bag. They immediately checked Arjun, felt a rapid increase in bp got worried. Taking his vitals Rishab gave the injection, looked at Arnav, "He will be fine lekin he is hurt with everything."

"Uske chot?" Arnav mumbled softly. Rishabh checked wounds on his body, applied cream on bruises which he got over the course of fighting opened the door

Ansh came inside stopped at a distance feeling guilty watching Arjun pale face. Shivanya enquired about him, "Kaise hai ab?"

Maan gave a nod his gaze fell on Ansh took furious steps towards him, "I warned you Aryansh Aisa kuch mat kehna jisse uske dil pe asar pade. Dekhliya na nateeja." He growled bringing hand on his back hardly.

Ansh hissed due to pain didn't stop him. Shivanya watching him interfered taking Ansh into her embrace, "Bas kar Maan! Dhikai nahi de raha pachtawa hai usse apne baaton ka."

Maan looked at his guilt face, silent tears rolling down took him into embrace, "I'm not mad Anshu, Arjun ko aise dekhe gussa agaya."

Ansh understood snuggling into his chest, "bhaiyu!" He spoke meekly. Maan took him towards bed.

Ansh sat near him hissed in pain didn't whine very well aware of deserving those spanks for disrespecting his brothers. Staring at Arjun he caught his hand, "I'm sorry bhaiya! Mujhe aise baat nahi karna chahiye. I don't hate you... I love you bhaiyu." He whispered in tears for causing hurt to him.

He looked up at Arnav moved near caught his ears, "I'm sorry bhaiya, maaf kardo apne anshu ko."

Arnav looked at him, the tears in his eyes undid him took into embrace, "It's alright bacha. I understand you, hum sab bhi naraz hai usse. You are free to show your anger lekin disrespecting is not allowed. Hate is strong word bacha, and your bhaiyu cannot take it from you. Tum apne narazgi jatao hume se koi tumhe nahi rokenge lekin bina badtameezi ke."

Ansh nodded cuddling closer. Arnav stroked his hair, "I can't have my child to disrespect his elders even when angered. Tumare bhaiyu iss baat pe bahut maar khaye mere haathon mein, I am being lenient just because Maan already made the word across."

"Now, I want an essay on respecting elders on my table before dinner!" Arnav handed out the punishment. Ansh whined, "Bhaiya woh nahi!"

Arnav raised his eyebrow, "Don't whine. Joh kaha woh Karo, unless you want me to use ruler which is at my desk."

Ansh shook head vigorously, particularly hating the vile piece of evil in his brothers study. Arnav patted his head, "Go now!"

Ansh nodded looking at Arjun again he left to do his work. Arnav looked down at the sleeping Arjun ruffled his hair softly.

Others saw his actions, concern and love reflecting but they all knew it's only a need of time. Once Arjun is fine, they all know Arnav would not let the matter slide easily without consequences felt sorry for him who brought upon his brothers wrath on himself.
