1 MONTH LAPSE

"Mama ji, wo.. main.."

"Bolo Shivaay"

"Actually main yeh ghar chor raha hun"

"Par kyu Shivaay beta? Humse koi galti." Leela was on the verge of screaming as she was well aware of their source of income from Shivaay's rented house.

"Mujhe apne ghar wapas jana hai mom dad ke paas. Isiliye" Shivaay had lied about his hometown. 

Tej and Shakti after much discussion shortened Shivaay's time span in that chawl because they believed that he has learn a lot many things by working in a saari shop, laughing with middle class people, dealing with their problems like water shortage, electricity cut offs etc etc. So they have called him back to Oberoi Mansion.

He packed all his belongings and took a look at all the corners of this small room. Although he had to suffer a lot there, but it taught him some really important lessons of life. He now have control over his anger and his ego problem has also reduced after the incident of Anika.

ONE MONTH passed but there was no sign of Anika. He even went to her friend Tina's house to ask for forgiveness but she told that Anika no longer stays with her. May be whatever she told was right. They will never face each other again in life. He has now got over her but somewhere deep down his heart, he wants her forgiveness.

He got down the stairs with his luggage. Mama ji had already called for an Auto for him.

"Mama ji, yaha bohut accha laga rehke aur apne bohut pyaar diya.. Naukri bhi di aur kya chahiye mujhe"

"Tumne bhi humari madad ki beta har mushkil me. Humari koi santaan nahi hai lekin tumne uski kami indiino me hi puri kar di.." he hugged Shivaay. Unknowingly, Shivaay had respect for Mama ji but not for Leela. He still remembered the way she treated Anika.

"Kabhi yaha aao to humare ghar me hi rehna" Leela gave him blessings and the old couple bade him farewell..

"Aaj Shivaay bhaiya wapas aa rahe hai. I am so excited O" Rudy hugged Om in excitement.

"haan Rudy"

"Oye Puttar, gale baad me milna pehle decoration dekh" Dadi ordered them

"Manager will see Dadi. Aap chinta mat kijiye" Om gave her assurance.

"Kya manager manager laga rakha hai... use.." he was interrupted by Pinky

"Sab aa jao, mera Shivaay wapas aa gaya"

Thus entered the lion in his den.

All the people hugged him one by one.. Rudra's eyes welcomed fresh tears.

"Maine aapko bohut miss kiya Bhaiya" he pulled him into a bone crushing hug

"Yaar Rudy, mera dam ghut raha hai.. Jyada exercise karta hai kya aajkal?" Rudy released Shivaay from his tight hug.

"Kya bhaiya, aap nahi the to shaam to baate karne ke liya bhi koi nahi tha. Exercise hi kar liya"

They all smiled and Shivaay was just on cloud nine after meeting all his family members who are his lifelines..

"I am so proud Shivaay ki tumne humara order itne acche se nibhaya. You are undoubtedly the best heir to this empire" Tej and Shakti hugged him.

"Ab tum log bas mere bete se baatein hi karoge ya phir use rests bhi doge. Kitna patla ur phika ho gaya hai mera Shivaay. Us chawl me to kuch milta hi nahi hoga na?" Pinky started caressing his hairs

"Aisa nahi hai maa. Beginning me waha ka khana horrible laga but abhi bohut tasty lagta hai."

"Lekin ab tu aa gaya hai na, tujhe mai bilkul thik kar dungi. Chal ab rest kar" Pinky ordered the servants to take his luggage to his room which was locked for more than one month and nobody had the permission to enter it. Today, the room got opened and the servants cleaned it to the core.

"Waise mai ek baat puchu, hum bhaiyo ki photos and family photos kaha gayi jo drawing room me thi?" Shivaay asked with utmost curiosity

"Actually, wo photos dekhne se mujhe apki bohut yaad aati thi, so maine Khanna se kehke sari photos nikal di" Rudy smiled

Shivaay went to his room to fresh up. Its was so amazing to return to heaven after so long. Every corner in  his room welcomed him whole heartedly whether it be his bed, his bathroom, his gel, his espresso machine, his sofa and everything present. How badly he missed the comfort and specially his espresso and americano in the morning. The chawl made him love tea now.  But he
