28.

Relaxing in the bathtub with their eyes closed, both Aaruhi and Ryan were enjoying the serene moment. Ryan has his arms around her, caressing her waist and belly. Aaruhi sighs softly leaning against   his chest.

“The water turned cold, Ruhi. We should get out of it," Ryan whispered softly looking at her serene face.

Aaruhi hummed but didn't make any move to get up. She is loving this.

Ryan turns her to face him holding her chin. Aaruhi looked up, opening her eyes.

Ryan  groans internally seeing her, looking so enchanting with a few rose petals sticking on her bare chest, shoulder and neck. She is looking no less than any goddess.

“Ruhi…" he breathed out in a heavy voice before catching her swollen lips into an intense and slow kiss.

Aaruhi kisses him back, melting in his arms.

It was early in the morning when suddenly Ryan’s phone started ringing. He woke up hearing it. As he opened his eyes, his gaze fell on his beautiful wife who was sleeping on him, hugging his chest. He smiled and placed his lips on her hair, kissing her lightly without disturbing her.

His phone started ringing again. He stretched his arm to the nightstand and took it as he silent it.

He frowned seeing his father's name. He first gently made Aaruhi lie on the bed from him and cover her properly before walking to the balcony to attend the call.

“Good morning Dad," he greeted his father as soon as he picked his call.

“Ryan, you need to come back as soon as possible…"

"Suddenly what happened…” Aaruhi worriedly said as they boarded the flight.

Ryan who is sitting beside her let out a deep breath and shook his head not knowing the issue.

“I hope everything is okay there," he whispered anxiously as Ryan was sounding a little concerned on the phone.

He didn't give him any more information, just ask them to come back quickly.

Aaruhi slid her hand in his and intertwined their fingers together.

“Everything will be okay. Just be positive," she told him with a smile which calmed him a little.

He smiled slightly and nodded before pulling her close by her shoulder and hugging her. He pressed his lips on his crown to calm his anxiety. Aaruhi smiles leaning into him while admiring their joint hands.

After two hours, they finally reached their home.

As their car stopped in front of their house, they saw a few more cars standing there along with a few bodyguards.

Now Ryan is scared.

Why are so many bodyguards here outside his house?

They entered the house and as they stepped inside the living area, they saw a few more bodyguards standing and an old man sitting on the sofa, like a king. He is around 70 years old.

“Ryan…" Ryan turned his head hearing his mother's voice.

Siya comes near him with a worried look on her face. As she reaches near them, she just hugs tightly as if she is scared of something.

Now everyone 's attention towards him. Aaruhi looked around and noticed everyone's tense face before her eyes fell on a girl, standing beside the unknown man.

Ryan hugs his mother back. Siya pulls back and smiles at him emotionally.

“What happened to my cute Ma? Are you not well??" He lovingly asked her and touched her face to find her temperature normal.

“Siya let him and Aaru come inside," Ruhaan told his wife.

Siya nodded slowly before she turned to Aaruhi. She smiles, making Aaruhi smile back and hugs her.

Ryan look at around the living room before his gaze settle on the elderly man, who is staring at him with unknown emotions in his eyes.

Suddenly his eyes fell on Trisha beside that man and he frown. Trisha smile at him but he just look at her in confusion.

Ryan turn to his father and said,

“What happened, Dad? And who are they??"

Before Ruhaan could reply, the old man walked towards him and smile slightly with certain emotion.

“Ryan…" he whispered emotionally with slight tears in his eyes.

Ryan look at him with furrow eyes.

"I am Tejraj Singh Rathore. I am your grandfather, Ryan…” he told him making him still in his place

Aaruhi shocked hearing him and look at Siya who suddenly started tearing up.

“My grandfather??" Ryan asked him to which he nodded.

"Your Nana sa,…,” he told him.

Ryan still can't believe him and turn to his family. They are looking sad and tense.

"Dad..”

Ruhaan sigh as Ryan is looking at him for answer. Ruhaan nodded slowly.

“He is telling truth, Ryan. He is your grandfather,"

Ryan again turn to the man with straight face and slight move back.

"Why are you here, sir??” he asked him making him look at him with hurt.

Everyone was little surprise with his cold reaction. They didn't expect this reaction from him.

"Ryan, call me Nana sa. And I am here to take you with me, ” he said as if it is obvious.

Ryan give him cold look and said,

“Which what right you come here and asking him come with you. I don't remember you and never saw you in childhood. And if you forgot, I have my family,”

The oldman's face turn dull as he heard him.

Ruhaan and other didn't interfere because  they know he is mature and intelligent. They give him freedom to decide whatever he want. They are always be there for him.

“Ryan, I know you are angry because we didn't come when you need us. But I have a reason. You are the last memory of my daughter. She is very dear to me and was my only child," Ryan just listen to him with no emotion on his face.

The old man lok at him with hopeful eyes but seeing Ryan straight face, he felt hurt.

Trisha suddenly walk toward them and stand in front of Ryan.

“Ryan, he is your grandfather. How can you hurt him like this. He loves you and come here with lots of hope," Ryan look at her.

"May I know Miss Trisha, why are you meddling in between?” he ask her looking at her with sharp eyes.

Aaruhi look at them but suddenly felt something off the way Trisha looking at her husband. The way her eyes just stick on him.

“She is a family, Ryan…" the old man said.

Trisha bite her lips in nervous when Ryan glare at her as he remember the first time they met. He is smart enough to guess that she was lying to him from the very start.

“Ryan, please forgive me. I know I did a mistake by not coming to you when you lost your parent and me, my Navya…" he said but stop getting emotional as he remember his daughter.

“You mother and father married each other against my will. I was against their relationship as your father was small employee and belongs to middle class house. While we belong to royal family and rich and Navya was the only heir of all the property and a princess. I was really furious when they run away and got married. I disowned her. But all my hatred turned into guilty when I heard of her demise. I don't know she has a child until few years…but when got to know about you, I started searching for you everything but you were not where found. But somehow I got to know you were adopted up some family and evenly three years back I got to know about you being here," he finished and look at Ryan whose eyes turn slight soft after hearing.

"I didnt know how to approach you after so many years. But then your Nani sa, she suddenly suffer from heart attack request me to bring you back to her. She is waiting for you at home. Come with us, Ryan. I know this family is your but we are also your family,  ” He plead him.

Ryan appear to be lost in his thought before he look at him then at his parents. Siya just give him affectionate smile but he can see fear, fear of losing him in her eyes.

He turn back to Tejraj.

“I heard you, Sir but I am sorry, I can't come with you. I have only one family with whom I live. I can't just leave everything and follow you just because we shares DNA. I am really sorry, now you can leave…" he said in polite tone.

Trisha look at him shock while Tejraj felt really hurt with his words.

Ignoring them he turn around to go. Aaruhi saw him look at her for a second before he went upstairs.

“Go with him, Bachcha.." she heard Siya and nodded.

Glancing at Trisha, she also left from there. Trisha glare at her as her eyes follows her till she go away from her sight.

Ruhaan turn to Tejraj and said in a firm voice,

"Tejraj ji, I really respect you. And I am sorry if you feel hurt by Ryan. But remeber he is now my son, Ryan Roy. I let you meet him because you requested me but now I think we should let the things like they were before. I don't want anything to trouble my children and their life. He is very precious to us. And you can bring your wife here if she wants to meet him,” saying he turn to his brother Vivaan.

“Vi, take care of them. They are guest," Vivaan nodded at him before Ruhaan walked away.

Trishan silently cry as she felt everything is destroyed in front of her eyes. She turn to Siya who give her disappointed look and walk behind her husband.

Tejraj sigh sadly before turning to Vivaan and smile.

“Thank you for your time, Mr. Roy. I think I should take your leave,"  he said joining his hand in a polite gesture.

Trisha slight shake her head with tears rolling down her eyes.

"Dada hukum,...” Tejraj silent her with his stare.

Vivaan also join his hand and fake smile at him.

They left from there.

“Dada hukum,...why did you do this?" Trisha cried looking at him with accusing eyes.

Tejraj just sat on the couch in his hotel room and look outside the window.

“Trisha, calm down…"

"How can I? Why didn't you do something to make him come with us?”

Tejraj look at her crying face and sigh shaking his head,

“We have to be patience, Trisha. We cant just force him to come with us. But don't worry, I will not leave this city with him…"

Trisha wipe her tears feeling little calm.

“Now what will we do, Dada hukum?? He will not agree so easily..”

“I know…" he said, looking at the sky through the large glass window.
