7 years old Ranveer

4 years old Advay and Advik (Ranveer's twin brothers)

2 years old Shagun

Ranveer is running behind Shagun with a full plate of food in his hand, but Shagun is not taking the time to stop for a while; she is running around with her small steps. Ranveer is following her at a slow pace, allowing Shagun to fully enjoy the moment, seemingly unable to catch up. She is always enjoying playing with Ranveer. She doesn't care about her food or anything, but she cares more about playing with Ranveer. When Ranveer notices that she has finished eating, he quickly catches her and feeds her a morsel into her tiny mouth. Shagun never sits down to eat, which irritates Roshini.

Shagun always waits for Ranveer, who always likes her everything. No matter how much she annoys Ranveer, he never scolds her or shouts at all. Again, when Ranveer sees the food in her mouth finishes it, and he quickly puts a small morsel in it, but this time she bites his hand. He shows her his fake furious eyes at this naughtiness and tries to scare her. She smiles, aware that he is faking his anger, and places both of her small hands on her head, resembling the horns of a deer. She moves her small fingers to tease him but is unable to stick out her tongue as her mouth fills with food.

Ranveer laughs at this and kisses her cheek lovingly; she also smiles with food filling her mouth and starts running again. The whole house resonated with the sound of her small anklet on her legs. She loves to wear anklets, and she is always deliberately making sounds to irritate Ranveer. Shubham gazes lovingly at his small doll, while Roshini, relieved that she is eating her food properly under Ranveer's care, expresses her love for Ranveer to Shubham.

"If Ranveer does not come and feed her, she does not eat a morsel the whole day."

Shubham nods at her and continues with his sweet view in front of him. Pratap comes and sits beside him and looks at where he is looking with so much love.

"What happened…?"

"Nothing … I love this amazing view in front of me..."

Roshini smiles and speaks to Pratap, glancing towards Ranveer.

"I am really grateful that my sweet Ranveer always takes care of her every need."

Roshini said lovingly to Pratap. Pratap tries to smile and gives a deep look to Ranveer's side, who is too busy with Shagun's naughtiness. His eyes notice every move of his son. He sighed loudly, which caught the attention of Shubham.

"Are you ok? Is there any problem?''

Pratap shakes his head and starts looking at the sky, resting his head on the headrest of the chair and sighing again.

"Everything is ok," he said this while looking at Ranveer's side, whispering so softly that no one could possibly hear him.

Pratap's eyes are constantly on Ranveer; he is not taking his eyes off him even for a minute. Day by day, he notices the change in Ranveer's feelings in his behavior very well when it comes to Shagun. Ranveer is very small, but he can feel his possessiveness toward Shagun quite well, and he is very afraid of this. The loud voices of his twin boys interrupt his concentration. Both Advay and Advik look like they are running towards him; he spreads his arms to welcome them, but they quickly run towards their elder brother. Shubham and Roshini laugh loudly at his dull face, which they attribute to his twin's ignorance, as they both love Ranveer more than anyone. Pratap also smiles when Nandani approaches and gives him a hug, as the twins' constant bothering at the party has left her exhausted.

"They are very naughty…"

"They both are just like you…"

Nandani's eyes widened upon hearing him; she gently tapped his chest and spoke.

"Look who is saying…"

Shubham clears his throat loudly and gets their attention back; they all look at each other and laugh.

Advay and Advik come running toward Ranveer, as they have just returned from a birthday party with their mother. They are coming to them by running from the main gate to help their big brother, who is busy with a little one who is still running here and there, not stopping for a second. They don't like her, as she is always the first priority of their brother, and she always gets his full attention.

"Bhai you know it's a very good party you have to come to, we enjoy it very much."

Advik said with excitement, Ranveer smiled while feeding Shagun and said to him.

"You know very well she does not feel comfortable at any cowardly place and parties."

"We are talking about you bhai, not about this roondu (cry baby)."

Advik was irritated by his brother's constant focus on Shagun. He is a little bit frustrated with Shagun because she never attends any party or visits any kind of entertainment place, and due to her, Ranveer also starts avoiding gatherings and playing with their friends. Ranveer's hands stop at his spot after listening to him, but he says it very softly in a very convincing manner.

"She is mine, and I am hers. We are not different from each other. If she doesn't like anything, that means I don't like it too... ok... She is my everything, and if you love me, you have to protect her from everyone."

Both little boys begin to scratch their foreheads in confusion, but they eventually understand that Shagun holds great significance for their older brother. It also means she is important to them.

10 years old Shagun

12 years old Advay and Advik

15 years old Ranveer

Pratap is pacing back and forth in the hall, and Raghuveer is sitting on the couch while holding his walking stick in his tight grip. Pratap looks at Nandani, who is sitting there with her head bowed so that she can hide his tears from Pratap's eyes as she silently agrees with him. Pratap roars in anger.

"Do you know he is getting more possessive about her day by day?"

Raghuveer lifts his face toward him and says it in a very soft voice.

"Pratap tries to understand him; he is still a child…"

"He is 15 years old and knows very well what he is doing, so stop taking his side... I knew his nature; that's why I tried my best to explain to him that time, but not every time you stop me... Stop me from telling him that Shagun is not his property."

Raghuveer rises from the couch, gazes at him with intense anger, and speaks.

"Ranveer never considers her as a property; I agree he is very possessive about her because she is everything for him…"

"Everything for him... he behaves as if he owns her.... He never let her talk to anyone else; he never let her make friends. Now look at what he did: today he fought with his classmate just because he was teasing him about Shagun, only that she is not made for him... "

"Pratap tried to understand this simple thing. He thinks that Shagun only belongs to him; that's why he is very possessive towards her."

"Just stop it, Dad. She is a small girl who wants to make friends and deserves a simple life…. Do something for him…. May it not happen that Ranveer does something in his madness, due to which we all have to repent... He is deeply in love with her, and my innocent girl doesn't even know what is going on... Do you understand how far the matter is going?"

"Pratap, give him some time…. Time is very crucial. If you behave with him strictly, then he should turn against you."

Pratap turns and looks at Raghuveer and tells him in very soft words.

"Somewhere in the process of explaining to him, something happens for which we have to regret for the rest of our life; it is better that I deal with him a little harshly…"

IN STOREROOM

Pratap locked Ranveer in the storeroom as a punishment for fighting with a classmate at school. He is lying on the floor, Shagun sitting near him in Indian style. Advay and Advik stand at the gate and guard there.

"Please eat something. Nah, Bade Papa is a little bit angry, but he loves you so much. But you also did wrong; nah... you are bad; first you beat that bhaiya… You know how much I was afraid to see that fight, and now you are angry at Bade Papa and will fight with him again. You are very bad (start crying); you always fight with bade papa… Look, he hit you so hard... What would have happened if you had said sorry to that boy in front of bade papa? He will not beat you like this."

She wants to touch the wounds but stops her hand. Perhaps she will hurt him by placing her hand on his wound; Ranveer looks at Shagun with a glance and turns his eyes again to the ceiling and says without looking at her.

"Shagun, please go from here. I am not in a good mood at all. Please go, Princess... Please."

She looks innocently and blinks her eyes to ask something, but before she does ask anything, Pratap opens the door with a loud bang, and they both look at the side where Pratap is still standing. Pratap looks at the twins, who immediately bow their heads and leave. Then, he approaches them, sits at Shagun's level, and speaks.

"Shagun, bachche, please go to your home; your mother is looking for you."

Raghuveer also stands there, and with very heavy steps, he enters and sits down with Shagun and Ranveer. Shagun curiously looks at him, but he doesn't say anything. Shagun looks at Pratap and tries to stand up, but Ranveer smiles while holding her hand.

"I am not angry with you, kiddo; I can never be angry with you."

He smiles genuinely with love; Shagun also shows her full, toothy smile and hugs him tightly and runs away. As soon as Shagun disappears from their sights, Pratap immediately tells Ranveer.

"You are leaving Ranveer."

"Sorry, Dad, but I'm not leaving for anywhere…. I will stay here."

Pratap's eyes turn red with anger, and he shouts so loudly that his voice reverberates throughout the entire mansion.

"Ranveer"

"We have to go."

Raghuveer's voice interrupts their unwelcome argument. Ranveer shakes his head left to right very slowly, but not a single word comes out of his mouth.

"We're leaving tomorrow; we've made all the necessary preparations; in a few years, everything will be fine, Bachche."

Pratap turns around and leaves from there but he knows very well his son is now very angry with him but for his bright future it is very important to do all this or for their (Ranveer and Shagun) future he has to do this.

SAME DAY AT MIDNIGHT IN SHAGUN'S ROOM.

Her best friend, Ranveer, gifted her her favorite teddy bear, which she is peacefully sleeping with. Ranveer looked at her with his glossy eyes. He quietly removes that teddy bear from her arms and takes her in his arms and watches her for a while. He just stares at her as if he wants to settle her forever in his eyes.

"I promise you that no one will ever take your place."

She snuggles deeper into him, and he tightly wraps his arms around her, whispering softly,

"You are the only one who will rule here always." He placed her hand on his heart.

"ONLY YOU"

He kisses her forehead, gently puts her head on the pillow, and covers her properly with the duvet. And, starting to move towards the window but stopping in the middle, he turns around to see her for the last time, like he wants to have her in his eyes forever. He wants to be strong for her, but he is very weak because of her today.
