Arthur's Palace

"No Bro," Aaron said while shrugging shoulders," I'm telling a truth this time...I'd heard by mistake."

Edwin looked enquiringly at Aaron, who shrugged his shoulders.

Looking at Aaron whispering in Edwin's Ear, Ryan becomes curious to know, what are they talking about?

"Aaron, what are you whispering in bro's ear?" asked Ryan inquisitively.

"Bro I'll tell you later as I'm very hungry now," he turns his face towards meera, "mom gives me that khadi quickly, It's looking yummy."

Meera glanced and slaps slightly on his hand, "Aaron, This is kadi, not a khadi."

Elena chuckled to hear them, "Yes, it is the same thing, kadi, khadi," he said while picking that bowl.

"Aaron, it's two different words, their meaning is also different and by the way, It is Rajasthani Kadi, my mother used to make for me before," She said as smiling.

"It's very yummy mom", he said after tasting that kadi.

Edwin looks towards Meera and thinks himself, "I hope Aunt, you see your family soon as Ernest is busy making your dream come true and it seems that day doesn't far away."

Meera looks towards Edwin, who was gazing at her, "Edwin take this sweet dish, you will like it," she said as moving the plate towards him.

"Aunt, I'm liking your every dish which has a unique taste, I'm fond of your food already and it's very delicious, by the way, What's name is it?" He asked as gazing at that sweet dish which was looking mouth-watering.

"Rabri Ghewar" he retorted.

"Give it here, mom," Suddenly, Aaron snatched the plate from Meera's hand.

"AARON"

Aaron heard a deep familiar voice behind him and flinched.

"What the hell is this behavior Aaron? Ernest said as coming towards him, "Don't you have any manners, how to behave in front of elders ... you are not a child anymore...So behave yourself...GOT IT..."

"Sorry, Big bro!" he said as standing up from the chair.

"Ernest, It's ok...take it easy Bro," Edwin said while gazing at Ernest, but he ignores Edwin's words completely and fiercely looking at Aaron.

"Aaron, This is the second time I'm seeing this behavior of yours--

"Ernest, easy son," said Meera while interrupted him as he hasn't listened to Edwin's words as well.

He nodded his head as sitting on his chair and said, "Now sit and eat without showing any insolency."

Aaron too sits quietly as he knows Ernest's anger very well.

Meera walks towards Ernest for serving his favorite lunch and said, "Ernest, why are you getting so angry? Laughter jokes happen between brothers...Isn't it?"

"Yes mom, but, in limits," he said while taking the first morsel as looking at her.

"well, leave it, you have your lunch," she knows his behavior very well and mumbled, "Like Father, Like Son."

"Ryan and Elena, you both take this dessert, Pistachio Phirni, your favorite," she said as giving them a plate of dessert.

"Mom, your hand made Rajasthani food is really special," said Elena while smiling.

Suddenly, Everyone heard a vibrating sound of the phone, that phone belongs to no one else but Ernest, he picks his phone,

"Hello,"

His brows frowned after hearing something from another side.

"Ok, I'm coming in a while," he said as standing up from his seat and hangs up his phone.

"What happened, Ernest?" asked Meera as furrowed brows, "Everything is alright?"

"Yes, Mom, Actually I have to leave now as Dad is calling me in Birmingham's office for some urgent work," he said as drinking water.

"But Ernest, you haven't eaten anything yet, first have your lunch, after that you can go anywhere," said Meera holding his hand.

"But Mom, It's really urgent...Pls try to understand," he said as releasing his hand from her hold.

she released his hand and gets upset because she worked hard to make that lunch and he is going without eating.

Ernest gazed at her as he can understand her inner turmoil and said, "you can give me your kheer which you have made for me especially. "

Meera becomes glad to hear his words, "wait ... Martha quickly pack this kheer for Ernest. "

"Ernest, can I go too with you?" Edwin asked as standing up from the chair.

"No Edwin, I'll go there alone ... you can have your lunch comfortably," he said and walks up the stairs to change his formal clothes in his room because he's wearing casual this time.

"Edwin bro, taste this Pistachio Phirni...It's amazing," said Elena.

"Of course, Eli," he said as picking a piece from a plate.

Edwin, You must come tomorrow before time as I need your help in something," Meera said.

"Ok, Aunt, I'll come as soon as I'm free," he said as drinking his water.

"What do you need, Mom?" asked Aaron with lifted one eyebrow.

"Nothing special Aaron, but I'll tell you with everyone later...So don't worry," she patted on his head and walks towards the kitchen.

Aaron stared at Edwin and asked as raising his brows...What is the secret between you two...pls tell me, bro,"

"Aaron, I don't know either....Aunt didn't tell me anything," said Edwin.

"Aaron, keep patience as she said, she will tell everyone later. So keep patience for till then," said Ryan as standing up from the chair and walks towards the stairs.

"wait Bro, I'm coming with you," Aaron screamed as getting up from his chair and follows Ryan.

Meanwhile, Elena asked, "Bro, How's your girlfriend Daina?"

"She's not my girlfriend Elena," said Edwin as looking at her.

"Don't tell a lie bro, I know you like her...but I don't know why are you telling a lie?" said Elena as holding his hand.

"Elena, Actually, she likes som--"

"MOM"

"Yes, Ernest," said Meera as coming from the kitchen.

"I'm going...I'll meet you tomorrow...Bye," said Ernest is giving a side hug to her.

"Ok...Bye...but take this and remember to eat," said Meera giving lunch to him.

"Bye, Bye Bro," screamed Elena as sitting on the chair. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Ernest walks towards her, bends down and kissed her forehead, "take care, Eli..."

"Yes, Bro but remember that we will go and visit outside tomorrow as you have promised me," she said while holding his both hands.

"Of course, Eli," said Ernest and goes from there.

"Well, Aunt I am going too as I have some work in office," said Edwin while getting up from the chair.

"Ok son, but your car-"

"Don't worry aunt, I've already called my driver and he's outside," said Edwin.

She nodded.

"Ok bye Elena, I'll meet you tomorrow" said Edwin as caressed her head and walks towards main door.

"Bye bye bro," said Elena as waves her hand.

"Bye Aunt, and don't worry I'll come soon as you have said," said Edwin as standing up on the main door.

"Ok...Bye Edwin,"said Meera as waving her hand.

On another side

Ruhi is sitting on a chair with her head on the table with expression less face.

She heard kavya voice, who continuously knocking her door.

She walks staggeringly towards door and open it.

To seeing her messy state, kavya become anxious to seeing her.

"What happened Ruhi?" asked kavya with frowned brows and enters in her room.

Ruhi abruptly hug her and sobbing uncontrollably.

"Kavya, why don't they like me?... after all what have I done that they hates me so much," asked Ruhi as sobbing.

"I don't know either...Why they don't like you as you are a beautiful soul who does not think bad for anyone even in her dream," kavya think herself as caressed her back.

"Ruhi, you should ask this question to your choti maa," said kavya as she trying to comforts her.

She broke embrace and looks at her,"She never tell me anything kavya...she always says that she will tell me everything on right time."

Kavya said as wiping her tears,"if she doesn't want to tell you anything now so there will be some reason behind it so you have to wait for till then."

"When will this right time come kavya?"asked ruhi with innocence.

"Keep patience Ruh till then, and now stop this crying, and tell me... Have you prepared for your exam?" asked kavya.

She nodded head in yes and replied,"I have to revise one last time."

"I knew it, you will be prepared for your exam as forever...Good girl," said Kavya while pinching her cheeks.

"Why you always pinch my cheek kavya?" Ruhi whined as holding her cheek.

"Because I loved your cheek Ruh dear," said kavya as chuckling.

She pouted as she listens her....

"Leave all this, see what I brought for you?" said kavya as opened her bag.

"Show me," said Ruhi in curious tone.

"Wait, wait my dear,"she said as takes out a tiffin from her bag,"look, what is in it?"

"Ruhi hastily open the lid of box, and saw moong daal halwa (indian sweet dish) in it and become very happy...but abruptly she become upset."

What happen to you suddenly? why have you become upset?...It is your favorite dessert...Isn't it?" She said seeing her dejected face.

"Kavya, actually mom has said until she will call me downstairs, I can't eat," she said as lowered her head.

"Why?" she asked anxiously.

"Riya didn't eat her breakfast because of me so-"

"Huh...I don't believe this...I know her very well how much she is cunning and she can't stay hungry for a minute and you are saying she has gone without having her breakfast...I really don't believe."

She nodded her head innocently in yes.

"What?... I want to know whole thing, so tell me from beginning," She asked.

Ruhi told her everything.

Heard everything she cursed her, "she is a spoiled brat Ruh, why are you enduring this much," she said as holding her hands.

"No Kavya, don't say like this, I know, she is little naughty but she will become mature by the time," she said as smiled face

"I don't think...I know her very well since childhood and don't think too much for them and eat this, mom has specially made for you that why I was calling you since morning."

"B-But mom,"

"Ruhi tell me one thing, why do you think she would not have eaten till now?" She asked lifted her one brow.

"Because dadi has said, she has gone in anger so-"

She said as glared at her, "she has gone in anger then she will not eat ... Huh? ... Iska kya sense hai Ruh?"

"Woh"

"I don't want to hear anything and you just eating this ... So open your mouth?"she said as feeding her.

"You are very stubborn Kavya," she said as eating.

"Hmm I know, Ruh you are very innocent among these cruel people...I am always worried for you, because all are really selfish and evil minded people...I don't like anybody here except Reema aunt," she said while embracing her.

"Kavya I think, I have done a wrong thing that's why they are angry with me but I believe, one day everything will be alright and they will love me as like Rohan and Riya," she said.

She said as breaking her embrace, "leave all this Ruh, you just focus on your study and don't think anything because this is not right time for think it all. You have to just focus on your exam..."

Hmm, she nodded.
