AANYA PALACE

Aanya is getting ready for college. Sid brings milk for her and she looking at milk started making faces and said " Bhaiya I am a big girl now I don't need this milk vilk "

Siddhant with a smirk asked " ohhh really show me how big you are "

" Wait see..." Saying it Aanya went close to Sid and started matching her height with his which is of course small, she pouted while Sid grinned ...

Aanya gets an idea she stood upon the dressing table then she becomes taller than him and Crossing her arms said " what will you say now bhaiya "

" Whatever nothing matters you are still baby for me, come now," said Sid he wrapped his hand around her took her from the table then making her sit on the bed he made her drink milk by himself so that she won't give any more excuses...

" Okay bye Bhaiya," said Anu and hug him then prepares to leave...

Sid smiled at her and gave a kiss then left her to go...

EVENING

Aanya was in her room getting ready for going to party at her friend's house...she was giving the last touch up to her makeup and after she gets confirmed she's looking perfect she gave a flying kiss to herself seeing in the mirror that's when her phone beeps getting her attention, she leaped to take it and see whose message is it maybe her friend's but to her surprise, it was from Shree...

" Shree Bhai ???... what happened now " murmurs her opening the message and after reading it she huffed then runs towards office which is attached to their house...

The message reads...

_________

Your brother got a new bakra who's on the verge of crying... come soon, Mam
_________

OFFICE

" What was the deadline I have given to you Harsh," asks Sid coldly making Harsh shiver in fear... Siddhant voice was so cold and loud that it echoes in that pin drop silenced atmosphere...

Harsh was standing like a scared Lamb, he stammers " si...si... Sir... today... Sir "

" And Time ...??? " Siddhant throws his next question and started to walk around Harsh with slow steps which makes Harsh tremble in fear while others were looking at the scene holding their breath ...

Harsh: fi... five...five in evening Sir...

Siddhant stops in front of Harsh and looking straight at his face he asked " what's the time now "

" Sir... " Harsh gulped the lump and was trying to sum up his courage to answer but Sid's cold eyes were not letting him say any word ...

" Speak up " shouted Siddhant sending a shiver to every soul present there including Shree and also to Aanya who just reached there and got halted thereafter hearing his anger-filled voice...

Siddhant: you tell Shree ... what's the time now...

Shree rolled his eyes then answers looking at watch " 5:05 pm Sir "

" Loudly ..."

Shree: Sir ..5:05 pm

Siddhant rubbed his forehead little then asks Harsh " is he right ..."

Shree looks at Sid narrowing his eyes and murmurs " my eyes are 100% ok... I told you right only ...huh... Hitler"

As everyone was silent so everyone heard that Shree whispers something even Siddhant too noticed, he looked at Shree then said " say it loud Shree...let everyone know your thoughts too "

Shree widened his eyes in horror, he nodded no quickly then said " no... Sir nothing... you carry on "

Siddhant raised his eyebrows and gave a serious look at Shree and says a little loudly " is any party going here you are asking me to carry on..."

Shree: no Sir...sorry Sir...

Siddhant: be silent...

Shree nodded Yes keeping his head down and when Sid turned to Harsh side, Shree left a long breath of relief and again murmured " thank God...got saved today...good luck ..."

" Shreeeee ..." Siddhant shouted without turning to his side while Shree kept his finger on his lips and made a face like not again...

" And Harsh .. you... I asked you the file at 5 pm but until now I didn't get it ....why the hell file is not on my table " shouted Sid making everyone jerk..he advanced near Harsh in anger making him shrink a little  ...

" What's going on here ..." Asks Aanya coming forward sending horror on to Sid's face while relief on others...

Siddhant who moved forward was stopped in the way, he closed his eyes thinking " God did Anu heard everything..." And to cover up everything he hugged Harsh then said very sweetly " it's ok Harsh... only five minutes late ..it happens to leave it "

Everyone was looking at Sid with shock specially Harsh, he was taken aback little seeing this avatar of Sid... while Shree chuckles...and Aanya laughs a little...

Aanya: I saw everything...and even heard too...

Siddhant: Anu woh actually...

Aanya: Bhaiya have little control over your anger...is it the thing to get angry this much that too just for five minutes... is it the way to behave.. they're not robots to give you whatever you want on exact time... you should have patience but you lose your cool so soon...

" Will try from next time ..." Defended Sid lowering his head not meeting his eyes with hers...

Aanya smiled at it.. sometimes she thinks her brother is just a grown up kid but other time a mad Devil ... sometimes she feels she's elder than him and sometimes he becomes too possessive elder brother...she nodded in despair then asks turning to Harsh " Mr. Harsh...how much more time you will take to complete the work "

Harsh: half-hour Mam...

Aanya: Bhaiya it's just a matter of half an hour you can wait don't you...

Siddhant: gudiya .. actually I wanted to accompany you to tonight's party so thought to complete my works and go with you but now see he has not completed it yet...

Aanya: it's ok bhaiya... I can go by myself ... you don't worry about me...now leave your tension, be relax and do your work calmly and also no anger got it ( Siddhant nodded yes making all smile ) and you guys say me if he shouts at anyone...

" Yes Mam sure .." shouted Harsh immediately making all chuckle while Sid glared at him and says " let her go ..."

Aanya: Bhaiyaa ...

" Nothing... I didn't say anything...did anyone heard ...no, right...I didn't Anu " said Sid in hurry making all laugh aloud seeing how much he is scared of his sister...

Anu moves forward and pulls his cheeks saying " you are so cute bhaiya ...but your anger... " Her eyes became little moist thinking about Sid's anger which kept him in danger at times, she knows how he got this much anger in him and it's obvious too...after facing so much betrayal throughout the life had made him a hard stone, she agrees for it but didn't want to lose her last family too, she only had Siddhant on the name of blood relation whom she doesn't want to lose so she asked him to have control on his anger as once because of his anger he was about to go in jail for months but seeing the intention behind his act his punishment was reduced...

Siddhant looked at Anu and her little wet eyes impaled his heart, he cupped her face then says softly " I'm trying Anu... you know naa...ok leave all this you go you'll get late for your party and then will blame me later "

Aanya laughs little then hugged him saying a goodbye ...she turned to go but Siddhant held her hand stopping her then pulled her near him, he planted a soft kiss on her forehead making her smile wide then he praises her "My doll is looking pretty "

" Thanks, Bhaiya," said Aanya

Siddhant: I have something for you

"What is that Bhaiya " asks Anu in excitement

Sid signaled Shree to bring it, Shree nodded and brings the box from his cabin and gave it to Sid and he presented her with a brand new phone.

" Wowwww.... that's amazing bhaiya, thank you so much... I just love you, you are the best," said Aanya hugging him tightly

" My sister secured top marks and has got the best results so something has to give to you naa," said Sid making her nod...

" Thank you Bhaiya, love you... bye "said  Aanya

" gudiya...take care ok...any problem call me ...bye love you too," says Siddhant caressing her hair...

Anu nodded then went out, Sid turned to Harsh and this time said softly " Harsh, complete that file and bring it to my cabin ( Harsh nodded Yes, Siddhant turned to Shree and looked) Shree you ..."

Before Sid could complete Shree replied " sure Sir " saying so he went out and Sid smiled thinking Shree understood what he wanted even before he says...

Aanya was going to her friend's house on her scooty , she was driving humming a song and when she saw into the side mirror , she saw one car was coming behind her like following her, she slowed down the scooty and took a look at the car and then smiles " Bhaiya too naa...now behaving like a typical brother .."

She stopped in the middle and the car too stopped a little far away, she went to the car then knocking the glass she said " Shree Bhai ...no need to follow like this come parallel will go while talking "

Shree was dazed when he saw Aanya was coming to his car, he was afraid of her reaction thinking she will feel bad that Siddhant has sent him like her bodyguard...but after seeing her reaction he was shocked he asked " Mam you are ok with it "

Aanya: I know bhaiya is tensed to leave me alone and if this makes him feel better then I don't have any problem come will go together...

Shree nodded and smiles thinking about this duo, who loves the other to death, specially Siddhant he can do anything, means anything to give all the happiness to his Anu, his gudiya...

AT THE PARTY VENUE ...

Aanya took a plate she served snacks and juice then said to her friends " guys I'll just come giving this to Shree Bhai...he is outside only...so wait a while I'll join you all "

" so your Bhaiya has sent a bodyguard for you..." Says Saurav teasing her while all laughed...

" yeah...he has..wait I'll come then will talk about this " Aanya winked at them then moves out to Shree...

After coming back Aanya asked, " so what you guys were saying now continue ..."

Kashish: Aanya your brother isn't doing too much... I mean you are a grown-up now still he is babysitting you...

Aanya: because I'm still a baby for him...

Drishti: hey Anu... won't you get scared of him I mean ...he is just a package of fireball, so much anger...

Aanya: that... he's the angry man for the outer world but in front of me he is sugar...

" Don't you feel like caged up ...the way he is always behind you, sending a person behind you " asks kashish...

Aanya smiled and replied " I was of seven when my parents died..and after that Bhaiya became my everything...my father, my mother, my brother ....he has faced a lot to raise me up and as well as to set up a business... My Bhaiya was never so much angry but this world has made him like this still he never complaints about anything, bears everything silently ...and after all these, if he is being overprotective then I won't mind it, I can just see his love towards me, and if all this his care, his possessiveness, overprotective nature is called as caged then...I LOVE TO BE IN MY BROTHER'S CAGE ..."

" I HATE TO BE IN MY BROTHER'S CAGE ..." Mumbles Roli looking into the sky sharing her pain to all those uncountable Stars ... hoping that any day her wish will be fulfilled she'll be free from this cage...

Roli was lost in her thoughts praying to the almighty to at least hear her wish for once and let her be a free bird after 18 years of her caged life which is ruled by her elder stepbrother Darsh... Darsh comes into Roli's room and saw her sitting beside the window, he called her in a very soft tone making her realize his presence, Roli got scared seeing him there, she shivers a little and wipes out the tears from the corner of her eyes ...

Darsh slowly came and sits beside her then he made her look at him holding her chin then asks "Why didn't you had food Roli "

" I... I..do... don't ...wish to have...it ..have it bhaiya " said Roli in a trembling voice...

Darsh hold her hand in his and caressed it a little as if trying to make her relax and even Roli felt it good her breaths became even that's when he holds her hand tightly and pressed it...

" Aaahhhhh " shouted Roli on such a tight hold

" Quiet just quiet if you shout like this then I will take you there and will leave you  ( Roli looked at him with fear thinking where Darsh gave a vicious smile then continues ) storeroom my little sis.." said him knowing that Roli always has fear from the storeroom and of course the reason is the...

" Noooo...no... Bhaiya ..sorry ... please sorry don't lock me there... I will do whatever you say... please sorryyyyy " begs Roli...

" Good girl now have food okay," said Him tapping her cheeks while Roli nodded with sobs...

Maid gives food to Roli ..and went out, Darsh too left the room and gave instructions to the maid " I am going out for work... lock her room from outside .. okay " maid nodded to it and Darsh went...

After a while maid came to roli's room again to take the plates and when she was about to lock the room, she got a call and left from there without locking the door... Roli noticed it and taking this opportunity she left the house hiding from his men...

Roli was crying and running on the empty road for a long ...she doesn't know where to go, what to do, she was just clueless, she have never been out of the house even once and even if she went then it was when Darsh himself took her out that too by tying her with ropes so that she won't run...she doesn't know anything about this outer world other than just her house and her cruel brother...

Darsh reached home and found Roli eloped, he went mad hearing it...he ordered every person whom he knows to search for her and even he too goes in search for Roli as because all the property of Diwedi's are still on roli's name, he has kept Roli with him till now just only to get her signatures on the will when she becomes eligible to involve in legal matters...

Roli was continuously running and when she was running she dashed with the person who was coming from the front ...

" careful...what happened why are you running like this " asked the person

" Wohh wohh.." when Roli was about to say some goons surrounded them, Darsh has a lot of contacts so it didn't take much time for him to find her... he can find her even if she hides in any corner of Mumbai... it's all child play for him...

" Come with me..." Says the person and started running holding roli's hand as fast as they could, goons too ran behind them...

Here Shree came back from the shop after taking the water bottle for Aanya but she was missing ...

Shree: Mam... Mam...where are you... Aanya Mam... Aanya Mam...

He searched her for a long but didn't find which increased his tension, he called to Sid...

Siddhant saw his name on the display screen, he mumbles " Shree...??? " He picked the call...

Shree: Sir Aanya Mam went missing...

" What did you say....say that again " shouted Sid shaking the whole office but his shout didn't affect Shree this time... He confirmed that again and told the address to him...tears rolled down Sid's cheeks he runs like a storm towards the spot ...

....

" I'm Aanya ....who are you," asks Aanya to Roli who was still sobbing and running ...

" Roli... Roli...." Answers Roli between her sobs...

Aanya : ok ok don't cry...just run everything will be fine...

Roli: hmmm ...

Roli and Aanya both were running but then stopped with a jerk as two goons came from the front and two were behind...they were surrounded by them no way to go anywhere, they were just four but still was able to hold the girls ...

Aanya: ayyy look anyone of you if dared to even touch then it won't be good for you... you don't know about my brother...

Aanya was trying to divert their mind and make a way to go out from there while Roli was too scared, she was just sticking to Aanya as if for now she's the only one who can save her...

Neglecting Aanya's talk one of the goon headed towards them and was about to touch but then someone attacked his hand with a rod....it was Shree...

Aanya smiled a little and took a breath of relief seeing shree there...

Shree: Mam you...go from here mam...just...go... I've called Sir he might be coming anytime but for now, just run... Mam I'll try to handle them...

Shree was trying his best to fight with the four, Aanya looked and said " but Bhai you alone ...here...how can I "

Shree shouted aloud " Mam just leave....no more words just run away...go Mam please go "

Aanya nodded and took Roli and started to run but few meters away a car stopped in front of them ... Roli got scared seeing it as she recognizes that it's her brother's car...

Aanya looked at Roli and understood that he is the main culprit ... Darsh came out of the car giving a smile to the girls, he peeped his head aside and looked at Shree who was still busy fighting, he took the gun from his pocket scaring them specially Roli, she holds Aanya tight and was also trying to hide behind her... Darsh gave a Devil smile to Roli and pointed his gun towards her scaring her to the bone....she nodded no and then he took his hand a little sidewards and shot at Shree's leg making him fall...

" Shree bhaiiiii ...." Shouted Aanya and runs to him while Roli stood numb ...

Aanya held Shree and started to cry seeing him in pain, Shree gathers all the courage and was trying to get up but Darsh again shot him this time on his shoulder making him fall frontwards, he has not seen Darsh face yet...his head banged on to the ground, Aanya was hell terrified seeing Shree in the pool of blood and unbearable pain...

Darsh: I don't like anyone come between in my game...and over that, you beat my persons why...we were just playing hide and seek right Roli...

Roli who was standing silent suddenly gets a jerk and looked at Darsh ...

Darsh: tell them Roli that we were just playing right...

Roli was hell terrified after seeing Darsh with a gun and she knows he can do anything and if she didn't support him then he will kill Shree and Aanya both so she nodded Yes...

" Roli...." Aanya called unbelievably

Roli: yeah... I... I was about to say that only but before that, his persons came to take me..and you without hearing me started to run...

Aanya: say that you are lying....he is scaring you right...

Roli: no he is not...we were playing only you thought wrong...

Aanya couldn't believe what Roli is saying is true or not but roli's eyes were showing fear...

Shree was still struggling to have a grip on himself and get up but his shoulder and leg were not supporting... Darsh looked at Aanya and asked Roli " seems like you got a new friend Roli... won't you take her to our house, let's go guys and you people take her also. "

Shree with his balanced strength shouted " no don't touch her.... leave... Mam don't go "

Darsh came forward and gave a kick on Shree's head then he turned and went dragging Roli and his men took Aanya with them...

PRECAP :

Pandit Ji declared Roli and Siddhant as husband and wife...

Roli thinks looking at Siddhant " married means I need to go with my husband this means I won't live with bhaiya anymore... finally I am free.. thanks Siddhant Ji "

Siddhant smiles evilly looking at Roli and thinks " welcome to the hell Roli now you have to pay for your deeds "
