Morning, Los Angeles

A woman is climibing the stairs upwards, gasping and taking deep breathes. She is around 55 years old.

As soon as she reaches, she smells a delicious smell of cooking food coming from the apartment. She comes inside without knocking the door.

She wanted to go to to kitchen to see what delicious food is getting cooked, but she first sat on the couch, as she got tired after climbing stairs.

"Ella, what are you cooking? And that too this early. Is something special today?" She loudly spoke so that her voice can reach the kitchen.

Kiara listened her voice, she smiled and moved to the hall, "yes, Evelyn auntie, today is something too special!"

"Oh god, you are looking so happy, tell your auntie too what's special today?"

She got excited seeing her happy like this. "Evelyn Auntie, He's coming today! So I'm making his favorite dish."

"Really? I can't tell you how much I'm happy, ella. But didn't you call me to help you?", She rolled her eyes.

"Evelyn auntie, you cook for me everyday. Today i wanted to cook as he's coming today by my own hands."

"Yes, yes okay i know how much you were waiting for him.", Kiara smiled and went to the kitchen.

Kiara's POV

Ohh my god, I'm so excited. He's coming after so long. I didn't even see him from past 10 months. But what is the good news he was talking about? Uhm...i don't have any gesture. He's really unpredictable.

Evelyn auntie started doing other household works. She's really sweet, she always took care of me like her own child. She calls me by Ella, lovingly.

Suddenly doorbell rang. Ohh my heartbeat got faster. I should go to open the door. No! Evelyn auntie will open the door before me as she's working in the hall. I took out juice from the fridge, that i had made for him.

"Kia, I'm here baby! Where are you?" His voice reached my ears. I turned back to go to him, when i saw him coming towards the kitchen. A wide smile covered my face. I'm seeing him after 10 months, last he came on my birthday.

He came and hugged me. "How are you?" He asked while hugging me hard.

I felt like crying. I wanted to cry as hard as i can but i controlled myself. "I was alone here" i reduced to tears.

"I know. But from now you will not be alone anymore." He said while breaking the cuddle. My eyes widened, "what? But how?" I asked in shock. As i lived here alone for 9 years, it was deep surprise for me.

"First stop crying! And let's go outside", he said while wiping my tears. We came out of the kitchen. Evelyn auntie came and told me to spend my time with him while she will manage the kitchen.

He made me sit on the couch and sat behind me. I was controlling my tears. I wanted to tell many things to him.

"Listen kia, i have a good news for you" he exclaimed in a slow voice.

"And what's that? You know i couldn't even sleep properly, thinking about that." I made a puppy face.

He stood up, i followed him too. He held my hands and said "well, kia go and pack you things, and prepare your luggage.". Wait what? What he just said? I couldn't believe.

He understood i was shocked. He continued "kia, we are going to india. And i will marry you." No! It can't be possible! I just can't believe this.

"I know you have so many questions, i never told you anything, but now it's time to reveal eveything. I will tell you eveything i promise. Give me some more time. After our marriage i will tell you whatever i had hidden from you from 9 years. But before that, you have to promise me one thing."

"What?" I asked in my low voice. "You will not ask any questions to me, and you will do what i will tell you to do."

"But, what?" I asked with a confusing face. I couldn't understand anything but yes I'm happy that I'm going back to india.

"I will tell you, but first go and pack your luggage, we are going today.", I nodded and went away from there to my room.

Shekhawat Mansion

It was dinner time. Everyone was sitting in the dining table for the dinner.

But Vivaan have not came yet from the office.

"Do you know where he's busy, Avyan?"

Rukmini asked worriedly. "No, he didn't tell me" he replied. "We should have dinner." Vedant said. "When he'll come, deliver his food to his room." He ordered the waitor.

While everyone started eating, Rukmini saw Vivaan Coming from outside. "Vivaan, wash your hands and come, have your dinner." She ordered him. While everyone glanced at him.

"I don't feel like eating anything." Saying this he went to his room without looking at her.She understood that his mood is not okay.

They all did their dinner. But then Rukimini thought to go to Vivaan's room to check him but she knew he will not tell anything, as he always do. As everybody were leaving, she stopped Reyansh. "Reyansh, go and check if Vivaan is fine, he even didn't eat anyhing." She said worriedly.

"Okay i will see him, don't worry ma." He said this and went to Vivaan's room.

He went to Vivaan's room, he opened the door without knocking and said "bhai"

Vivaan was working on hid laptop, he saw him and became angry. "Can't you knock the door before coming inside?" He shouted. He rarely shouts on his brothers, only when he's not mentally okay. Reyansh came closer to him and said "how long will you stay like this?". He ignored him. "Bhai, you will have to move on, you can't stay like this forever."

"And who are you to tell me this?" He asked in his slow deep voice. "I'm your brother. Yes I'm younger than you but i have the right to talk with you in this."

"But i don't want to listen. You understand. Now you can leave."

"Okay, I'm leaving but remember, nothing will get right if you stay like this. She's dead and you have to accept it, because nothing will be changed." Saying this he left from there.

After coming out of the room he realize what he just said. He stopped midway. "Wait, what i have done. Oh I'm so stupid, i shouldn't have said this." He said in his mind. He felt guilty after that.

Vivaan closed his laptop in anger. And stood up from his place. He felt like suffocating, his heart was wrenching. He went to the window to breathe some fresh air. And soon went to sleep.

Los Angeles

He took her luggage, and started going downwards. She was enduring every single thing in the apartment. As she was living here for years. But she also wanted to leave as living alone for years was really difficult for her. She was sad and happy at the same moment. As she was lost in her thoughts, a voice came from downwards "kia, come baby". She came out of her thoughts and replied "yes, I'm coming." She quickly came out and closed the apartment. She had so much memories here. But now she's leaving forever.

The drivor had put all the luggage on the car. They were going to sit on the car, as she heard a voice. It was evelyn auntie. She smiled, looking at her, how she was running at this age, gasping and taking deep breathes.

"Ella, see i came here to meet you last time." She said gasping. Kiara got emotional and hugged her. They started crying, on which he was getting itritated, thinking kiara have already wasted so much time and now this drama.

"Kia, we're getting late. Let's go." He said in annoyance. She broke the hug and said "Goodbye evelyn auntie, i will keep calling you from there."

He opened the door of the car for her and she sat. They went to the airport and left for India.

She don't have any idea what is waiting for her in india. She only knows that she will get married and live a peaceful life, as he have promised. But who knows, what is coming next.

Morning, Shekhawat Mansion

A ray of sunlight fell on his eyes, as he was sleeping, he woke up from his sleep.

His eyes glanced on the photo frame kept on the nightstand beside the bed. He took it in his hands. And started looking at it adorably. No doubts, it's Kiara's photo. Everyday when he wakes up he first look only her photo.

He gets peace looking at her. She's her medicine. When he get's too much out of control by his anger, it's only her that can make him silent. But thinking about that she's not here, his heart gets shattered into so many pieces that nobody can fix it.

Only he knows how he's living without her. At the deepest of his heart, there is still a hope that she's alive and so that he is searching for her from many years.

And not only hope, but he have so many doubts regarding her. These doubts don't let him sleep peacefully.

MUMBAI AIRPORT, INDIA

At 5:00 a.m., flight landed on airport. They get off the flight. A coolie lifted their luggage to the car. Kiara was looking here and there. When he asked her "what happened?". She shook her head and they sat on the car. She was feeling a positive yet strange feeling.

She was somewhere happy, as it is going to be a new beginning in her life.

The car stopped at a hotel. She was confused that why they are stopped in a hotel. She was thinking in her mind "He has his own huge mansion and family, then why he is taking me to this fucking hotel?". She was going to ask him when his voice came from behind "kia, you will live here."

"Huh??" She spoke in disappointment.

She continued "I will live here? Means you are not coming with me?" She shouted in anger.

"No, kia. Until we don't marry each other, you will have to live here only."

Kiara's POV:-

I'm feeling annoyed now! This man. Oh this man is really too much to handle. I mean is he an orthodox? That he believes we can't live together before marriage. I can't even say anything as i have promised him not to disagree anything said by him.

"I know what you're thinking. But don't worry, everything will be fine. Come with me inside." He said. I started following him. A gaurd took our luggage and followed us to our room.

"See, here you will live. Isn't this room beautiful like you?"he came close to me.

But i was not feeling like to react anything as i was totally disappointed.

"What are you thinking, darling? Now everything is fine. I took you here to india now, smile." He placed his hands on my waist. And started coming more close to me. I pushed him back with a jerk and turned around.

"Okay fine, i know you're not happy by this. But don't worry, soon I'll give you all happiness you deserve." He turned me around by my waist and pecked my cheeks. Okay whatever, i can't say anything to him, so i nodded.

He made me sit on the bed and said "But listen to me, you will not go anywhere outside the hotel. Okay?". I nodded. And he went away. Well i don't even know this city, not even this country. How can i go anywhere? Last i remember i was in a hospital here in india. And he took me to U.S from here.

He told me that my dream was to become a model and designer. So because of him, i achieved my dream in hollywood industry. I'm a renowned model in hollywood but what now? I came to india. Now how will i work here? Nobody even knows me here.

There i used to work with many stars and celebrities. I was too passionate about my job. So i never felt too much lonliness. There were many friends of mine from different countries, even from india too. But here i don't know anyone. This makes me feel sad.
