Vansh stood up and went near the window , the rays of sun were peaking from the clouds, finally that dark night was over. He felt the wind caressing through his hair , this life.......... it has brought him to such a state that even after knowing that his family is safe , he can't go to them, Afterall a criminal has no rights , no rights to live , no rights breath and still no rights to die.

"Coffee...", Pihu kept the coffee at his side. He turned .
"Don't think much we are going to meet them today.",
"What would you say to them ...", Vansh stopped her.

"You think a lot... Mother Teresa is there no , we don't need to worry.", She smiled , he nodded.

The door opened and Pihu came in, Riddhima looked up at her and winced , she closed her fist to hide her stress.
"What now.",
" Atleast they are alive ", she said with a broken smile, "...... we have to meet them" .

Pihu sat infront of her.
"Problem is not in meeting them, problem is how will we meet them, they would surely not listen to us if we tell them Vansh is innocent.",

Riddhima sighed.
" I know Pihu.............. but we can't let things fall apart ..... atleast we can check on them for there safety.",

" And if that Kabir comes to know about them...",
"NO............. " Riddhima looked at Pihu ," in no case kabir should come to know that they are alive otherwise .............." she turned her head.

The sun rose finally and now it was the time to stand above every problem and take a risk , Pihu and Riddhima came out and Vansh followed them.

" Vansh ............... please.",

" Riddhima please I will come.",

"Ok....... we will go and sort out everything and once the situation is normal we will call you.", She calmed him but its her sister , he denied restlessly .

"Promise me , you will call", Vansh looked at Riddhima in plead.Riddhima looked at Pihu and then at him, " promise." Riddhima held his fist.

Both of them got seated in the cab and left. The rolling sound of tyres carried them to the destination and they walked upto the house door . This was more of a safehouse quite away from the main city , Riddhima felt Aryan was a responsible brother afterall Ishani is there life .

Taking a deep breath she rang the bell. Aryan opened the door still in hangover and looked at the two ladies standing infront of him.

" Yes.....",

" Can we come inside.",

Aryan looked at them from head to toe and opened the gate. They walked inside the messy house and made some place to sit . Aryan got seated infront of them.

" We ........ actually we are here for a case study." Riddhima broke the silence.

Aryan nodded.

" It's............. it's case of Vansh Raisinghania.",  the sleepiness in his eyes vanished as he heared that name , rage took its place . He stood up and looked at both of them with those red eyes.
" Get out............."

They both looked at him.

"I said get out".

"Just listen to us once...." Pihu stood up.

"Get out.............." ,and he  threw the vase on the ground . The vase broke into the pieces and the loud noise told them that this was not the moment to discuss anything.

They stood up and walked to the door. Aryan walked behind them in furry and held the door. He was about to bang it when Riddhima held it, " Vansh is not a criminal..............." , and Aryan banged it on her face.

Pihu looked at Riddhima and there was a silence for a moment.The bell rang again and Aryan opened the door, it was them again.

"Can't you understand in simple words or you want me to throw you out.",

" Just listen to us once and then we will leave.",

Aryan looked at them in frustration. He opened the door and they both walked in .

"See Aryan",
"How do you know my name.",
Riddhima looked at Pihu.
"We got it from the hospital records....." Pihu covered up.
Riddhima took a deep breathe.

" Aryan just listen to what i say and then we will go........", She paused to check his reaction but he didn't have any ,"Vansh is framed into all those murders, even the records which say that his mental condition was unstable are fake. Kabir framed him into all these............... " ,Riddhima looked at aryan whose look hadn't changed a bit.

"And who are you, his lawyer................", he stood up,"now just get out with your rubbish".

"Can't you understand that Kabir framed him.............", Pihu stood up in frustration.

"Kabir framed him, Kabir framed him , Kabir framed him , just shut up.............. he killed my mom , my dad , grandma and even siya, he is a pshyco murderer , just a pshyco murderer and due to him me and Ishani are in this condition...........
Ishani suffered sever panic attack and now she is awaiting for her death on that ventilator, you want to know more , he gave all his property to his business partner and asked him to kill us .

Kabir framed him my foot, you both can't even estimate how cold blooded murderer he is.............." Aryan walked up to the door in frustration and opened it.

"Left us to die on streets it was a curse to have him as my brother..........." , His red eyes had some unknown drops hidden behind that restlessness and fury.

Riddhima and pihu walked up to the door quietly , there is cure for everything except misunderstanding.

Pihu stood at the door looking at him and he looked up to her,
"If he asked his, so called business partner, to kill you and Ishani , then why that Kabir got Vansh arrested, he must have enjoyed with the property quitely............." , She walked out with Riddhima, they descended the stairs while Aryan stood there confused.

It was over , his own family is not ready to except and they have to prove this to the whole society out there. They were quitely walking down to the steps , suddenly some noise came from the room inside.  Aryan rushed inside Riddhima and Pihu looked at each other , they ran inside too. The cardiograph was fluctuating and Ishani was choking in need of breath. The three rushed in . Aryan stood there blank while Pihu checked the oxygen cylinder.

" Oxygen is sufficient............" , she was confused. 
Riddhima checked her pulse it was declining.
"God............  call the ambulance soon".

The ambulance stood before the house blowing its siren they hurried Ishani in. The ambulance rushed to the hospital while Aryan looked at her sister with a fading hope.

"No Ishani please , you are my only family please don't leave me.",

The ambulance stopped before the hospital and they rushed to the OT aisle while Ishani laid there counting her declining breathes.
"Please stay outside.", The nurse closed the door as the light went on.

They looked at the pale figure which went in , Aryan stood there breathless , he looked at the door and then at them.  He stumbled to the floor restlessly .
