Adhiraj Raghuvanshi, Rudra's father, the king of Rajasthan was in his room sitting on the couch talking to his best friend Darshan Singhania, Kiara's Father.
"Haa Darshan bata kya baat hai?" Adhiraj asked.
"Bohot badi baat hai. Aur khushi ki bhi." Darshan replied.
"Haa haa tu kitna khush hai yeh toh teri awaz se hi pata chal raha hai. Ab bata bhi kya baat hai." Adhiraj said.
"Adhiraj, meri beti, meri Princess, meri Kiara vaapis India aa rahi hai." Darshan said with happiness in his eyes.
Adhiraj widened his eyes and got shocked hearing this.
"Kya? Kiu vaapis aa rahi hai?" Adhiraj questioned to confirm.
"Haa Adhiraj, Kiara vaapis aa rahi hai." Darshan repeated.
"Waah Darshan! Yeh toh bohot khushi ki baat hai. Finally itne saalo baad humari Kiu vaapis aa rahi hai." Adhiraj said being excited.
"Aur voh bhi humesha ke liye Adhiraj." Darshan said.
Adhiraj leaned forward, "Yeh toh sach mein sabse badi khabar hai, Darsh! Itne saalon baad humari Kiara wapas aa rahi hai. Maine toh socha tha vo yahin ki ho ke reh jayegi."
Darshan's voice became heavy with emotion. "Adhiraj, tujhe pata hai, main uske bina kitna akela ho gaya tha. Har din uski yaad aati thi. Ab jab usne wapas aane ka decision liya hai, mujhe lagta hai ki mera dil phir se jee utha hai."
Adhiraj nodded, his smile unwavering. "Teri feelings samajh sakta hoon, Darshan. Baap ke liye beti uski jaan hoti hai. Aur Kiara jaise beti ho toh bas uska ek smile kaafi hai sab dukh bhulane ke liye."
Darshan wiped his moist eyes. "Bilkul, Adhiraj. Bas ab mujhe lagta hai sab kuch theek ho jayega. Uska yeh decision meri zindagi ki sabse badi khushi hai."
Adhiraj patted Darshan's shoulder. "Aur yeh khushi sirf teri nahi, hamari bhi hai. Kiara hum sab ke liye special hai. Humare ghar ki shaan hai. Sab usse milne ke liye taras rahe hain."
Darshan smiled faintly. "Haan, vo sabke dil ke kareeb hai. Lekin sabse zyada vo meri Princess hai, meri jaan."
Adhiraj laughed softly. "Woh toh hai. Par tu dekhna, uska aana sirf tujhe nahi, poore mahal ko roshan kar dega."
Darshan nodded, a tear escaping his eye. "Haan, Adhiraj. Mujhe ab sirf yeh din ka intezaar hai."
"Woh din door nahi, mere dost. Aur tab hum dono milkar is khushi ka celebration karenge." Adhiraj said.
Darshan smiled widely.
"Accha tum jaa kar yeh khush khabri Meera bhabhi-sa aur Geeta Maa-sa aur Shailendra Baba-sa ko de de." Darshan said.
"Haa mai abhi jaa kar sabko batata hu. Sab bohot khush ho jaayenge. Vaise kab aa rahi hai Kiara." Adhiraj said.
"Usne kaha hai ki uski kal raat ki flight hai toh voh parso aa jaayegi." Darshan said.
"Bohot accha. Hum jaroor milne aayenge usse. Par hum parso nahi aa paayenge Darsh." Adhiraj said with sadness.
"Kya? Par kyu Adhiraj?" Darshan asked.
"Voh hum sabko bahar jana humare ek dusre dost ke bete ki shaadi mein. Aur Rudra ko bhi meetings hai toh hum parso nahi a paayenge." Adhiraj said.
"Koi baat nahi Adhiraj. Par haa jab bhi wakt mile aa jana milne. Vaise toh hum party rakhne wale hai Kiara ke vaapis aane ki khushi mein par tumhe usse pehle Kiara se milne aana hoga varna voh bura maan jaayegi." Darshan said.
"Paaka aa jayenge Darsh. Accha ab phone rakh aur apni beti ke aane ki khushi mana. Mai bhi jaa kar sabko batata hu." Adhiraj said.
Adhiraj quickly got up from his seat, excitement clear on his face. He left his room and hurried down the stairs.
As he reached the living hall, he saw everyone sitting together.
Meera Raghuvanshi, his wife, was chatting with Geeta Raghuvanshi and Shailendra Raghuvanshi, Rudra's grandfather and grandmother.
Rudra was sitting beside them, scrolling through his phone. He was sitting with everyone as Fiana Raghuvanshi his sister had requested him to sit with her and spend time with everyone.
"Suno suno sablog meri baat suno." Adhiraj excitedly went towards them.
"Kya hua Raj? Bohot khush nazar aa rahe hai aap? Kya baat hai?" Meera asked.
"Baat hi esi mere paas aap sabke liye. Agar aap sab meri baat sunenge na toh bohot khush ho jaayenge." Adhiraj said witha wide smile.
Adhiraj beamed with excitement. "Suno toh meri baat pehle!"
Geeta Raghuvanshi smiled and teased, "Humein lagta hai aaj kuch bada hua hai. Batao Adhiraj, kya baat hai?"
Darshraj Raghuvanshi, Rudra's Chacha-sa chuckled, "Lagta hai kisi lottery lag gayi hai."
Fiana interrupted, "Tau-sa , kuch surprise hai kya? Mujhe pehle batana chahiye tha!"
Shailendra added, "Arrey, bechare ko bolne do. Sab log bas sawal kar rahe ho."
Adhiraj raised his hands in mock surrender. "Arrey, mujhe bolne toh do!"
Meanwhile, Rudra remained unbothered, scrolling through his phone. Fiana nudged him. "Bhaiya, sun toh lo. Papa kuch bolna chahte hain."
Rudra didn't look up. "Haan, bolo na. Main sunn raha hoon."
"Boliye na papa kya baat hai?" Shivansh Raghuvanshi, Rudra's younger brother asked.
"Are aap sab bolne denge tab bolenge na Tau-sa." Aaryan Raghuvanshi, Rudra's cousin brother said.
"Dekho yeh hi ek samjhadar hai pure parivaar mein." Adhiraj said.
"Joke mat maariye Adhiraj bhai-sa aur baat bataiye." Shrishti Raghuvanahi, Chachi-sa of Rudra said.
"Mummaaaa....." Aaryan whinned.
"Are ab aap sab meri baat sunenge." Adhiraj said
"Haa haa aap boliye na papa." Shivansh said.
"Theek hai. Toh ab suno. Abhi jab mai kamre mein tha tab mujhe Darshan ka phone aaya. Usne mujhe bataya ki parso Kiara vaapis aa rahi hai." Adhiraj announced with a wide smile on his face which reached his eyes too.
As soon as the words hit Rudra's ears, his fingers stopped working on his phone. His breath hitched just by hearing her name. His heart skipped a beat.
He looked up at Adhiraj to confirm what he heard.
"Kya? Sach mein Kiara vaapis aa rahi hai?" Meera asked.
"Haa Meera, Kiara vaapis a rahi hai. Voh bhi humesha ke liye." Adhiraj said with a constant smile lingering on his face.
Rudra's heart started beating fast hearing her name. Though it has been years not seeing her, but still her name was enough to make his heart beat fast.
Though he didn't knew how she looked now but he could still imagine her those beautiful innocent eyes, her cute button nose and her innocent face which he had seen last when she went away to Paris.
Though they had met not more than five times but they were still in his memories.
"Sach mein, Adhiraj? Kiara wapas aa rahi hai?" Shailendra asked.
"Haan, Baba-sa," Adhiraj said, smiling proudly. "Darshan ne khud bataya. Kiara ab hamesha ke liye yahan rahegi."
Shrishti added, "Aur kitni pyari thi tab. Pata nahi ab kitni badal gayi hogi."
Meera nodded. "Haan, uski tasveerein zarur dekhi thi, par samne milne ka maza hi alag hota hai."
"Bilkul," Aaryan said excitedly. "Ab toh humein unke saath bohot saari baatein karni hain. Aur unki life ke baare mein jaana hai."
Fiana giggled. "I can imagine how beautiful she could be Mumma. She is a model and actress. I am damm sure Kiara di have grown up in a really beautiful girl."
Geeta smiled warmly. "Haan, Fiana. Kiara toh hamesha se hi sundar thi. Ab toh zarur aur bhi khoobsurat ho gayi hogi."
Shailendra chuckled. "Aur sirf khoobsurat nahi, samajhdar bhi. Model aur actress hone ke bawajood apne parivaar ko kabhi nahi bhooli."
Meera agreed. "Hamesha apne papa aur maa ke baare mein baat karti thi Darshan ke saath. Itni pyari ladki hai."
Aaryan leaned forward with excitement. "Aur bhaiya, socha hai hum sab usse kya-kya poochhenge? Main toh sabse pehle uski Paris ki stories sunna chahta hoon!"
Shivansh grinned. "Yeh toh sach hai. Kiara bohot jyada beautiful ho gayi hai. I have stayed with her for 4 years. Aur in chaar saalo mein we have enjoyed a lot in Paris."
Fiana clapped her hands. "Aur main unse tips lungi. Modeling aur fashion ke baare mein. Kitna interesting hoga unse baat karna!"
Adhiraj laughed. "Arey, sab abhi se planning kar rahe ho. Pehle toh mil lo usse. Woh bhi tum sabko dekh kar kitni khush hogi."
Geeta nodded. "Haan, aur sabse zyada toh Darshan aur Megha ko dekh kar. Itne saalon baad apne maa-baap ke saath rahne ka maza hi alag hota hai."
Shailendra sighed with nostalgia. "Sach mein, apne bachpan ke ghar ka rishta kabhi nahi chhutta. Kiara ke liye yeh sab kuch naya hoga, par yahan ki yaadein usse zarur apni taraf kheechengi."
"Vaise Shivansh bhaiya, aap Kiara ke best friend hi na toh aapko pata hoga na unke boyfriend ke baare mein. Kon hai unke boyfriend? Indian hai yaa foreigner?" Fiana asked.
The word "boyfriend" hit hard to Rudra. He fisted his palms in anger and clenched his jaws. He couldn't bear the thought of her with someone else.
"Nahi unka koi boyfriend nahi hai." Shivansh confirmed giving relief to Rudra.
"Esa ho hi nahi sakta. I mean unhone vaha kitne male actors ke saath movies ki hai toh unka un mein se yaa phir koi bada businessman toh boyfriend hoga hi. She must be dating someone." Aaryan said.
"Nahi sach mein unka koi bou nahi hai. Lekin haa college ke vakt unhe bohot saare ladko ne unhe propose kiya hai. But unhone reject kar diya. Aur Kiara ne yeh bhi bataya ki school ke vakt bhi bohot saare ladko ne unhe propose kiya hai but as always she rejected them." Shivansh said.
Rudra again fisted his palms and took a deep breath to control his anger.
"Propose toh karenge hi na, itni sundar jo lagti hongi voh." Fiana said
Rudra not able to hear all this stood and started walking away.
"Kaha jaa raha hai Rudra?" Adhiraj asked.
"Kal office mein bohot jaroori meeting hai toh thoda kaam baaki reh gaya hai voh khatam karne jaa raha hu." Rudra replied.
Before anyone can say anything, he went away from there to his room.
As soon as he entered the room, he locked the door and threw his phone away on the couch.
"Damm it." Rudra said sitting on the edge of the bed with his elbows on his thighs and his palms resting on his hairs.
He started taking deep breaths to calm him down. He stood and started pacing to and fro in the room while running his hand in his hairs frustratingly.
"Yeh kya ho raha hai mujhe? Why the fuck am I behaving like this?" He said to himself.
Rudra clenched his jaw, pacing back and forth in his room, his frustration boiling over.
"What the fuck is wrong with me?" he muttered, raking his fingers through his hair. "I don't even fucking know her. Met her once or twice, maybe. And now her name-her fucking name-is messing with my head?"
He stopped pacing and stared at the floor, his fists tightening. "This is so fucked up. Why the fuck am I reacting like this? I don't even remember her face properly, and yet, every time someone says her fucking name, it's like-" He groaned loudly and punched the air. "Like she's fucking everywhere in my head."
Rudra sat back on the bed, gripping his hair tightly. "This can't be normal. I don't get this shit. I've met a thousand people, women more gorgeous than I can count. Models, actresses, fucking socialites-none of them ever got under my skin like this. Why the fuck her?"
He stood abruptly, pacing again. "Kiara this, Kiara that. Fucking perfect Kiara, the untouchable queen who rejected every fucking guy. Why the hell do I care if she has a boyfriend or not? Why does it even fucking matter?"
His breathing grew heavier as he leaned against the wall, closing his eyes. "Fuck. This is so stupid. I don't even know her, and I'm acting like some desperate idiot. She's not even... Fucking hell."
Rudra opened his eyes, staring at his reflection in the mirror across the room. "Pull yourself together, Rudra. She's just a name, a memory-someone who doesn't even fucking matter to you."
But even as he said it, the tightness in his chest wouldn't go away.
"Calm down Rudra. She is not one. No one to you."
He removed his shirt and laid down on the bed. But as soon as he closed his eyes her beautiful innocent brown orbs came into his view.
He immediately opened his eyes and took a deep breath to control himself.
"Aaj tak kabhi esa nahi hua. Haa kabhi kabhi tumhari aankhein mere sapno mein aayi par that didn't affect me to much. Then why the fuck today only?" He said frustratingly.
He again closed his eyes and drifted into sleep.
"Kia ruko." The boy around 8 years shouted running behind a 5 year old Kiara.
"No no Rudla, catch me." Kiara shouted looking back at him while showing her tongue.
"Stop baby. Please." Rudra said as he sat down in the garden breathing heavily.
Kiara stopped and came back towards him. She sat down beside him.
"Kya hua Rudla? Tum itne mein hi thak gaye?" Kiara said with a teasing smile.
"Rudra Raghuvanshi kabhi thakta nahi hai thakata hai." Rudra said with a proud smile.
"Haa haa sab pata hai. Vaise tum kitne cute ho." Kiara said pulling his cheeks.
"Mai cute nahi handsome hu." Rudra said ruffling her hairs
"Hants....hantsum.....yeh kya hota hai?" Kiara asked able to spell the word properly.
"Haa but mai bohot jaldi vaapis aa jaaungi tumhale pass. I plomise." Kiara said.
"I will miss you. Please mere pass jaldi aa jana." Rudra said.
"Mai jaldi aa jaungi Rudla." Kiara said and moved towards him and gave small kiss on his right cheek.
"Kiara." They heard Megha's voice.
Both stood up from their place and turned around.
"Chalo beta. Bohot raat ho gayi." Megha said.
"Bye Rudla." Kiara said waving him bye.
Megha smiled at them.
"Bye. I will miss you. Please jaldi vaapis aa jana." Rudra said.
Kiara nodded and left from there. While Rudra stood there watching her.
Rudra suddenly got up from his sleep. He breathed heavily.
Rudra sat on the bed, his breath uneven. His heart was racing as if he had just run a long distance.
He ran his hand through his hair and leaned back against the headboard. "What the fuck was that?" he whispered to himself.
The dream felt so real. He could hear her voice, see her smile, and feel the warmth of that small kiss on his cheek.
"Why the fuck am I dreaming about her? I don't even remember this happening properly." He rubbed his face with his hands, trying to push the thoughts away.
He got up and walked to the balcony. The cool night breeze hit his face, calming him slightly. He looked up at the sky, searching for answers.
"She was just a kid back then. I was a kid too. Why the fuck is this all coming back now?"
Rudra took a deep breath and closed his eyes. "Forget it, Rudra. Just fucking forget it."
He returned to the bed, lying down again. He closed his eyes, trying to focus on anything but her. He thought of work, his meetings, anything that could distract him.
Minutes passed. His body slowly relaxed, and his breathing became steady. The exhaustion of the day finally caught up with him.
This time, no dreams came. Just peaceful, dreamless sleep.

So here is the third chapter of my new story ✨
I hope you all will love it. Please do maximum votes and comments to encourage me
I love writing stories that are full of emotions and excitement. It makes me happy to create characters who feel deeply and love strongly. Writing is my favorite way to share stories about romance, action, and drama.
One of the things I enjoy most is writing about love. Romance is a big part of my stories. I like to show how two people come together, fall in love, and build a deep connection. Their love can be sweet and caring or passionate and intense. It is exciting to show their journey and how they grow closer through challenges and happy moments.
I also love adding action to my stories. Action scenes make the story thrilling and keep the readers interested. Whether it is a fight, a chase, or a dangerous situation, these moments add tension and excitement. Action brings out the strong and brave side of the characters, making their love and bond even more powerful.
Drama is another thing I enjoy including in my writing. It keeps the story emotional and interesting.
