A song is playing on a loudspeaker which is irritating the whole Singh family. A neighbour even came to complain.

" Please ask your sister to turn the volume low. My mother can get a heart attack because of her enjoyment."

By looking at her face, it was clear that she was irritated. The young boy of the house nodded then went to his father to tell the matter.

Rajesh Singh sighed and glanced at his wife, Ritima Singh.

" I'll go and tell her."

She went to her daughter's room who had lifted the house on her head by her noise. When she reached near her room, she could hear her singing along-

" Seeti veeti aakhein-vaankhein yu na maaro. Pheko na chahat ke ye daane. Ho, majnu raanjhe saare jhuthe hain yaha pe, jhuthe hain dil ke fasane..."

Ritima opened the door and made a weird expression as she saw her dancing with a dryer in hand as a mic.

" Ragini!"

She called her with a stern voice but the girl was too busy to listen. Ritima sighed heavily and chose to turn off the music.

" Peeche mere aashiqon... Peeche mere aashiqon- hain?"

Ragini uttered at last when music suddenly stopped playing. She turned around and found her mother.

" Why did you do that, Mumma?"

Ragini huffed. Ritima looked around her room which she had made so messy.

" It's 9 in the morning, Ragini and you are disturbing everyone by your loud music."

Ritima replied.

" Did that lady complain again?"

Ritima nodded.

" I have to talk to her. She does not ever let me enjoy it."

" It's not only about her. You are disturbing us as well. We need peaceful morning but you bring tycoon by your weird songs."

Ritima snapped back and turned to leave the room. Offended Ragini, walked behind her while saying.

" How can you call my songs weird, maa?"

Rajesh and Rakshit look at the mother-daughter duo.

" You know I have perfect taste in music and whatever I find captivating. You shouldn't be scolding your daughter just because neighbours cannot stay calm due to your charming daughter. Instead, you should support me."

" Hey bhagwan! Kitna bolti hain ye ladki."

( Oh God! This girl speaks a lot.)

Ritima glared at Ragini who just shrugged her shoulders and went to her brother and father in the living room.

Rajesh spread his arms when she sat beside him and side-hugged him, putting her head against his chest.

" Nobody loves me, papa. Only you do."

She faked her cry.Rakshit passed her judging look. Rajesh chuckled at his daughter.

" What do you want?"

Rajesh came straight to the topic. Ragini's eyes glistened and she exclaimed.

" How did you get to know I want something?"

" Aapki chaplusi se."

( By your sugar coating.)

Rakshit replied. Ragini passed him glare.

" So, tell me."

Rajesh said. Ragini sat straight, fake coughed then parted her mouth to put her wish in words.

" My friends asked me for a 3 days trip to Jaipur. Can I go?"

Silence spread in the whole house for 10 seconds.

" No."

Her mouth hung open hearing her father's reply. Rakshit and Ritima laughed together making Ragini to glare at them.

" But why Papa? You never let me go."

She complained.

" I had let you go. Many times to be honest."

Rajesh replied and held the cup of tea from the tray which Ritima offered him.

" Those were trips that would last from morning till evening. I never went on a trip like this one."

She pleaded.

" It's about 3 days, Ragini. How can I let you go? I do not believe you and your friends."

Rajesh gave the reason for his decision.

" Am I wrong?"

He asked his wife. Ritima shrugged her shoulders.

" You are right, Honey."

Ragini scoffed and crossed her hands around chest angrily.

" Won't you have breakfast, Didi?"

Rakshit teased his sister. Ragini stayed silent. Rajesh sighed.

" My daughter is so little. I will be worried of your health and all-"

" I am 23, Papa."

She interrupted her father.

" Still, I can't let you go. I have never done it. What if you harm yourself."

He said with possessiveness in tone. Ragini looks at her father with a disbelieving expression on face.

" Try once, Papa. I will come safe and fine. Nobody can harm your daughter."

Rajesh stayed silent and looked at Ritima who passed him a smile, gesturing him to let her go.

He took a deep breath.

" Okay."

Ragini squealed in happiness, making her family smile at her excitement.

" When will you leave?"

Ritima asked.

" In an hour. My bag is already packed."

Saying, she ran to her room excitedly.

" This girl-"

Ritima uttered seeing her daughter's behaviour. Rajesh smiled seeing his daughter running here and there to keep all useful things in her bag.

Her friends will be here soon.

He was always protective of her. She wished for long trips with her friends but he never let her go because he thought something wrong might happen to her.

It is the first time she will be out of her family's eyes for 3 days. The house will be silent without her.

Her friends came to pick her.

" Take care, hmm? Don't eat junk food much. You have pepper spray na?"

19 year old Rakshit said to his sister who just looked up and down at him.

" Don't act like my big brother. I am older than you."

brought his cold expression back.

" Still you act like you are younger than me."

Ragini waved her hand carelessly at him then looked at her parents. She hugged each of them.

Ragini furrowed her eyebrows when her father kept hugging her for a long time.

" It's not my Vidaai papa. I will come back."

Her family chuckled. Rajesh pecked his daughter's forehead before letting her go.

Before sitting in a cab, Ragini turns to glance at her family one last time. She passed them a smile then sat inside the car.

Singh family stared at her cab until it was out of their sight.

Ragini and her 5 friends gathered at the railway station.

" Let's goooo..."

They exclaimed excitedly before going inside their train.

A loud train trumpet was heard indicating that the journey had started. Ragini's heart skipped a beat in excitement as she looked outside the window.

She has many dreams.

One of her wishes is about to be completed. She wanted to have a trip like this with her friends. She is missing her family though.

She messaged her family that she arrived on time and the train had departed to their destination.

" So, your family finally agreed to let you go?"

Riya, her friend asked. Ragini nodded yes.

" Stop stuffing. You will eat all our snacks."

She looks at Rajni scolding Naman who stole some snacks from her bag. Ragini smiled and took a deep breath.

She wonders what her trip will be like. She just wants to make great memories there.

MEANWHILE,

A man stopped pacing around when he heard foot-steps approaching him. So, finally the prince chose to show up.

The man, Nitin Khanna turns to look at his master who is busy talking to someone on call.

" Vidyut."

He called him. Vidyut stares at him while talking to his PA for some more seconds. After declining the call, he gestured to Nitin to continue.

" Your father was shot the previous night."

Hearing the above sentence, Vidyut stopped typing on his mobile before raising his eyebrows at Nitin.

" He is in Jaipur and asking for your presence. Thank God, he is good now."

Vidyut put his mobile into his blazer pocket.

" Who did it?"

Nitin sighed.

" The Raisinghani's."

Vidyut clicked his tongue. His expression indicated that he is calm but only those people who are close to him will understand that he is not at all calm.

" Cancel all my meetings."

Nitin heard him talking to his PA while leaving the house. He followed him knowing they will depart to Jaipur now.

How can the eldest heir of Jaisingh's stay calm after knowing about all the fuss happening in his family.

Vidyut Jaisingh, the most twisted man alive. He has been raised ruthless and monstrous. Nobody likes to talk to him or they are scared to stand in front of him. He is intimidating without uttering a single word.

He is lethal.

He is merciless.

He is a storm.

He has been cursed by many people who lost either their family or died by his hands.

He brings hell to his enemies.

Escaping him is difficult.

When any case reaches its edge, Vidyut Jaisingh steps in. Then, he brings only destruction.

Nitin, a middle aged man, looked at him. Vidyut is closest to him. Well, why won't he be. Nitin has spent more time with him than his own parents as they were busy with their own work.

Vidyut was 5 when his responsibility was given to him. He still remembers how hard it was to take care of this moody, savage child.

He sighed. In an hour they will leave for Jaipur via private chopper.

4-5 hours later, they reached Rajasthan.

Vidyut came out of the chopper, fixed his blazer. 5 bodyguards with a driver were waiting for him.

" This way, Yuvraaj."

Nitin followed Vidyut. They departed with their car which has logo of Jaisingh's ( J&S)

Jaisingh's are more like breaking news for the world. Some are doctors, some are lawyers, some in politics while some are businessmen. The current king of Jaisingh is Ratan Jaisingh, father of Vidyut. That man is the reason behind Vidyut's ruthless behaviour. No leaf in the house moves without his permission. Only Vidyut has the audacity to overpower him. Well, he is his blood.

Soon, Vidyut reached his haveli. He sighed mentally. He does not like to be here. His family irritates him to the core. Everyone has their own drama.

Vidyut was welcomed by guards, servants bowed at him when he passed them to go to his father's room. He knocked on the door of his father's room.

" Vidyut."

His mother said and hugged him. She looks emotional. Vidyut glanced at his father lying on bed with bandage on forehead, his arm seemed fractured.

He didn't die? Such an unfortunate thing.

Vidyut said to himself mentally. His mother, Kamini Jaisingh broke the hug then went to her husband. Nitin came into the room as well.

Kamini helped Ratan to sit. He looks weak.

Vidyut sat on the nearby chair and put his leg over the knee of other.

" The Raisinghani's attacked him. He was coming from work. The driver and guards were dead on spot. Sadly, we couldn't catch them."

Kamini said.

" How's he now?"

Kamini smiled slightly.

" By God's blessings, he is good but needs bed rest."

Vidyut exhaled while tapping his two fingers on the chair arm rest. Nitin noticed that and furrowed his eyebrows. Something is strange.

" Was he the one who attacked you?"

Vidyut said and showed a photo from his mobile to his parents. Nitin grabbed the phone and brought it to Kamini and Ratan.

Ratan blinked. Smirked plastered on his lips as soon as he recognized the person who was dead, according to this photo.

" He was."

Ratan closed the mobile.

" But..he..he is killed? how? when?"

Kamini asked and Vidyut smirked slightly.

" The news must have gone to Raisinghanis. They should know that my son, Vidyut Jaisingh is back in his territory."

Ratan uttered with a proud tone. His all pain faded away due to his son's bravery. Nitin smiled and looked at Vidyut. He knows that young man won't stay here for long. He will soon leave back to his place where he lives alone.

Moreover he must have asked his man to kill that man. He was on his phone when they were on the way to the airport.

Vidyut stood up and walked to his parents. He took mobile from his mother.

" Proud of you, Son." a

Ratan praised him. Vidyut neither smiled nor replied. He just turned to leave the room.

" Excuse me, Hukum."

Nitin excused himself and went behind Vidyut.

" You won't stay na?"

He asked him.

" You know me well."

Vidyut replied. Nitin sighed and thought to convince him.

" Look at him. He was so happy. Moreover, your family is not safe without you. You should stay now. For how long you will run away from them?"

Vidyut looked at him for a fraction of seconds.

" It's useless to convince me. Stop trying."

Nitin stopped on his track when Vidyut turned to the corridor and went to his room.

" What should I do to this man?"

Nitin questioned himself.

⋆⋅✧⋅⋆

Times slip quickly when it's about our happy days. That's what happened with Ragini and her friends. They have their train in 4 hours. It is their last day, last moments in Jaipur..

Ragini and her friends climbed down the stairs of the temple. They wanted to visit the temple before leaving.

" Let's go to our hotel?"

Riya said.

" No. Uhm, we have one more place to visit."

Ragini furrowed her eyebrows hearing Aaditya's words. He looks strangely weird. Except her, everybody understood.

" Yeah yeah, let's go."

They all agreed. Ragini shrugged her shoulders and thought to follow them.

" But how much time will it take? We need to go to the station on time."

Ragini said.

" Just a few minutes."

She nodded at Aaditya''s words. Ragini opened her chat box and smiled seeing her family message. She missed them in these 3 days and bought many things for them. Coming here was not a bad decision at all.

Ragini was left perplexed as they reached their destination. It was a.. park?

" Nobody is here?"

Another guy friend of hers asked in amusement and they looked at Aaditya who gave them a puzzled expression.

" Nobody was on the road near this park. It's only 8 right now."

Riya said, finding this place a little unusual.

" Leave it."

Aditya then grabbed Ragini's hands. She glanced at their joined hands then at him.

" What happened?"

She asked confusedly but he just took her to a particular place in the park which was decorated. For what? Is there any function?- Ragini wondered.

She furrowed her eyebrows when her friends turned their camera at them. Her heart beat increased as soon as she saw Aaditya sitting on his knees.

No..way!- She said to herself mentally.

She understood everything now. She chewed the inside of her lower lip and gulped when he took out the ring box from his pocket. Her friends squealed in happiness. They are excited but not her. Colour drained from her face. She does not want to hurt his feelings and embarrass him in front of everyone.

" Aadi-"

" Wait, let me speak first."

Aaditya did not let her say anything. He looked happy. Yes, she was closest to him among all her friends but it was never love from her side. She always thought of him as best friend. He must have misunderstood.

" I don't know when and how this happened. But, I.. really like you, Ragini. I like you since 12 standard-"

" Aaditya-"

Ragini again tried stopping him but her friends did not let her speak this time. She sighed heavily when he opened the ring box for her. It was a beautiful and very expensive ring.

" Wait- ring is expensive? How did you get this?"

Everyone looked at her dumbfounded at her sudden question. Aaditya was the only one to chuckle.

" Save it for later. First tell me, do you like me too?"

Aaditya said. Sad expression appeared on Ragini's face and she slowly brought her hands out of his grip. Her friends look at her confusedly. She stepped back and open her mouth to speak but just then-

BANG

Everyone flinched except Aaditya who was fast to stand up and cover Ragini. Girls have their ears covered. They all look scared seeing a group of muscular men in black suits standing with guns in the hands on each guard.

" Who the hell are you?"

Aaditya asked angrily, making Ragini to glance at him. There are 15 guards here and they look so dangerous. Aaditya 's eyes caught the sight of their broach.

J&S- he read it.

" Who are they?"

Ragini asked fearfully, making Aaditya grab her hands. One among those guards, gestured to 6 men to go near them.

" What? What the hell? Assholes?"

They tried fighting back but it was no use. Guards were way more stronger than them. Nobody dared to touch Ragini.

" Are you guys criminals? Why are they holding you only?"

Ragini and her crackhead self. She is scared and still can't keep her intrusive thoughts to herself.

" Shut up! Idiot."

Riya scolded her. She gasped loudly when she saw Aaditya punching the man who was holding him. The very next second, he was strangled on the ground by that same guard.

" Aaditya!"

His friends said union.

" Cut the crap and do the work."

One of the guards said. Others agreed and forcefully put a handkerchief on Ragini's friend's mouth.

" Hey! what the hell are you all doing?"

Ragini tried fighting back and couldn't. Her friends fainted in no second making her take a step back in fear. Her eyes filled up when one by one they all closed their eyes. The guards stepped back. Ragni sat on knees and tried waking up her friends.

" Riya? Aaditya ? Rajni? Wake up guys!"

She cried but nothing worried. Her friends are alive but unconscious for a while. She failed to sense footsteps approaching her. The guards made way for a man.

" Riya.."

She whispered then wiped her tears harshly. She stood up and pointed her finger angrily at the man standing opposite to her.

" I will complain to the police. Just wait and watch."

It's strange that none of the guards stopped when she took out her mobile from pocket to call the police. She was about to click on the green button but felt her heartbeat stopping for a second. Someone is standing so close behind her. She can sense now.

Her breathing turned heavy, heartbeat increased and fear rushed down to her spine when she felt hands snaking around her waist from behind. Keeping her fear away, she thought to push the man but-

" Uhmmmmm."

He covered her mouth with a cloth.

" Shhh! stop fighting, Angel. Sleep now.."

He whispered against her ear. She wiggled to get out of his grip and at least look at his face but everything went in vain because the man is too strong.

She slowly started losing her consciousness. Her vision went blurry, feet felt out of balance and she took support of the man behind her.

Before falling into her dreamland. She recalled her father's words and a long tear escaped from her eyes.

He wiped her tears before lifting her in his arms and looking at her beautiful face he said-

" Welcome to my world, Angel."

He smirked in victory before going to his car. He sat inside with her and departed from there.

Ragini did not know her father's fear would come true.

Vidyut never knew he won't ever go back from his territory.
