Author's pov

Today, after almost a month , Ayesha is back in her cabin,  her Office.  This place is the closest thing she claims as her home after , of course Eeshan and his family. She has built it on her own caliber and a little support of The Rawats .

Right now , she's peacefully sipping her matcha tea , oatmilk matcha tea while reading about the upcoming meetings and projects.

" Meenal" she called and soon a woman in her late twenties appeared in front of her , Meenal Sharma , a talented woman , divorcee with a 3 year old son , even after facing countless  barriers,  she stood tall and confident in front of Ayesha.  She's a newly hired assistant,  less experience but great knowledge.

" yes , Mam " Meenal answered in her composed and sincere voice.

" What's the next gala , meeting or any even I've to attend? " Ayesha enquired

" Mr. Shashwat Sehgal's wedding,  Mam, it's on a cruise Mam, the details are already sent to you by email . "

" hmm. Eeshan and Abhijeet bhaiya are also invited?  A d the Raghuwanshis ?"

" OH come on Mam, he's Shashwat ! The Shashwat Sehgal , the topmost Lawyer and a damn self made billionaire , his company,  his Ngos , his schemes are so famous and successful.  It's obvious he has invited all the big names ."  That's one thing in Meenal , she speaks a lot when she starts getting comfortable.

Meenal gulped and offers an awkward smile after her great description.

" you know a lot about him , huh?  I and Eeshan will go together so no need to prepare anything for my travel.  You can have leave while I'm gone . Say hi to Abhiansh " Ayesha said with a slight chuckle.

Meenal nodded with an embarrassed amd awkward look and went back to her work .

" finally,  a holiday " said Ayesha with a sigh and leaned on her chair .

*At Raghuwanshi mansion*

( violence ⚠️)

Ayansh was attending his online classes , Anjali was gone with Manish to a gala amd Reyansh was in office.

He was scared . Trembling on his seat . Soon , the door of his room opened,  It was Manisha,  smiling wickedly

" Bahot zubaan chalti Hai tumhari , beta "

( you speak a lot , son)

" P.please " Ayansh begged

" count" orderd Manisha while holding out a leather belt .

Soon , Ayansh was sobbing

" 4. 45 , a.ahh" he cried while hissing

" next time if I don't get updates about what's happening behind my back , the belt will be replaced with an iron rod you useless trash .  Remember,  if you fail , I promise,  I'll reveal your secrets. Remember this Ayansh ." Barked Manisha and went away .

As she left , Ayansh hugged his knees buried his face between them and sobbed , he was miserable too.

Nobody ever knew how he was suffering in silence,  how he was getting punishment for his non existing sin , he was just 19 . He may had hated Ayesha earlier but he was a kid he was just feeding on the haterd and loathe he heard about her .

This family is way too messed up . That is for sure . They're all in some way burning in the heat of situations .  Some have already burnt , some will burn .
