Morning in raichand mansion is always lively , just like today . Twins fighting for the chair to sit on the right side of the dining table whereas the head , Rajveer Raichand is sitting on the head chair discussing with his sons about the upcoming party election the Raichands are sponsoring . The daughter - in - laws , Rekha and Divya are discussing the daily soaps with their saasu maa , Bhawna Raichand.

( Mother - in - law )

The Badi bahu of the mansion , Akshita Raichand is helping the servants to arrange the breakfast on the dining table whereas the eldest son of the family , Rishab Raichand came , checking his watch as he saw his wife in the kitchen . Turning his steps he walked to her , pecking her forehead. Three years of their marriage but blush is still the same on akshita's face . She was always like this , cheerful , bubbly and soft spoken , that is what rishab liked in her when he first saw her in collage cafeteria. Six months dating and than marriage . Life cannot be more good .

( Elder daughter - in - law )

" Good morning " murmuring the wish back both Akshita and Rishab made their way towards the dining tables . Wishing the elders morning everyone took their seat as the servants served the food .

Everything was perfect except one thing , or say one person . The second child of the family , Advik Raichand .

" Did you calculated the budget of the upcoming paris project Rishab beta " Abhinav Raichand asked his son while sipping his chai .

( Child , Tea )

" Ji papa , sab kuch final hai bas ek baar Advik Ke final signature ho jae fir construction shuru karwa denge "

Despite being eldest , Rishab Raichand was never interested in business , what he liked was finance and so achieving a degree in bachelor in finance here he was as the CFO of Raichand industries but despite all this he was the share holder of the company and in every decision his advise was must .

( yes dad , all the the preparations are final , once Advik signs , we will start the construction )

The absence of his grandchild didn't got unnoticed by Rajveer " Akshita beta teri Advik se baat hui kya ? " if Adwik was most opened to Rishab than he was more close with Akshita in whole family and as in clue Akshita nodded " Ji dadu abhi thodi der pehle uska call aaya tha , uski paris wali flight cancel ho gai isliye France se flight lega , shaam tak aa jaega aap tension mat lijiye " everybody heaved out a sigh while rishab smiled a little .

( Akshita , Did you talked with Advik dear )

( Yes grandpa , I talked to him today morning as he told that his paris flight got canceled so he is taking one from France, he will come by evening, don't worry )

Rest of the breakfast went smoothly as everyone departed for their respective jobs . Karan , Ishani to their university . Rishab , Abhinav and Punit to the company , Akshita to her hospital , Divya and Rekha to their Orphanage and the eldest couple to their subah ki ser .

( Morning walk )

Evening came with a blur in Raichand mansion as all the three ladies gossiped while making Evening tea . " Bas Advik ki zindagi mai bhi koi aise ladki bhej de bhagwan jo mere bete ko pehle jaisa bana pae " divya heaved out a sigh as she prayed for her younger son who didn't came home from past one month because of his 'business trip'

( May god send someone in Advik's life who can bring my old son back )

Akshita placed her hand on her mother-in-law's shoulder as she squeezed it in a comforting way while rekha too just sighed seeing the boy who she treated as her own son distancing himself from everyone .

Its not like he don't love is family or don't want to be with them . They are his first priority for whom he can go to any extent so they can be happy but the past which turned his old self to cold stone haunts him to the point where he is even afraid to show his real self to himself . He destroyed it himself he knows that . A chance he got , a chance to revise himself in love , to drawn himself in that intense feeling but he destroyed it himself and now neither he have a strength to show his love to someone nor he want because he knows that his love is for the one person , who is the owner of his heart , who he wants to cherish with his love , who he wants to be drenched within him , its only her , his butterfly .

It was not long enough when the family members saw the second child of the Raichands entering the mansion while talking to someone on his phone . As Divya hurried towards her son embracing him tightly while her eyes watered seeing him after long one month .

"Tell them that we are on with this deal , the constructions will be starting soon " Advik hung up the call as he hugged his mother back while sighing in relief , guess it was not late when he realized his shirt getting wet by his mother's tears .

" Maa stop crying now , you are hurting your eyes . See how red they are looking " he rubbed her back as she slap his arm . " Don't you dare maa me . Do you know how much I missed you and you didn't even thought about me or your family and coming after one month , huh ?" Divya spoke as she wiped her tears .

( Maa - mother )

" Don't cry maa , see i am here now , hmm ? Now stop crying " he hugged her as she kept weeping for a while .

" Bhai , finally you came " ishani rushed towards her brother as he hugged her while ruffling Karan's hair who was grinning ear to ear and why not he would be finally getting his favourite sports bike which his brother promised to buy for him if he will pass the semester with 75+% . " Bhai aap meri bike lae ho na " advik rolled his eyes as he plopped the bike keys on karan's hand making him jump in excitement.

( Bhai - brother )

( Brother did you bought the bike )

" Chalo baccho abb hatto mere bete k upar se , abhi aaya hai wo saas to lene do usko " rekha said as she gave him a glass of water . Advik hugged her as he chugged the water . Walking towards his grandfather who sitting on a couch along with Abhinav and Punit , he touched their feet .

( let go kids , let him breadth for a moment )

" Deal confirm ho gai hai dadu , aap batae construction kabse shuru karwana hai " Rajveer smiled with proud as he pat his head with affection . " Business ki baate kal bhi ho jaengi , tu jaake pehle thoda aarama karle . Pehle hi tune meri biwi ko itna rula diya aab jaa " Abhinav said as he glared at his son accusingly. Advik smiled at his father's antics as he moved upstairs to his room .

( deal his confimed grandpa , you just tell when we should start the construction )

( Business talks can be done later , already you made my wife cried alot , now go and take rest )

Opening the knob , advik entered his room only to find it the same as he left one month ago . Walking to the closet , he picked out his grey sweatpants before heading to the bathroom for shower .

Turning tha knob of shower , he released a breadth he didn't know he was holding . Everything is suffocating everything suffocate him and the irony that he knew the reason but still can't do anything is destroying him second by second.

Chance , just a chance and he will make sure to not let her go away this time . What a joke , when the people who love you are with you , you ignore them like the oxygen in environment but then when they are not there for you , you want to see them everyone , want to feel them everywhere . They suddenly become that oxygen without which you cannot live .

Turing the shower off , he came out wiping his hair when his gaze fell on the full moon shining from his open balcony . Throwing the towel away he took a place on the railing gazing at the moon .

She loved staring at moon and now when she is not here with him , it had became his daily routine to gaze at the beauty hanging in the never ending sky remembering her . It reminded him of her , her honey brown eyes , her smile which brighten his dark life . It gave him peace The only time where he felt a little calm , where the inner chaos wouldn't haunt him , the only time where there was no self-hate .

I never thought that you will stoop this low just because you are jealous .

Whom I even talking? You will never understand her pain and it's not even your fault .

What can we even expect from an orphan like you .

You are so disgusting that even your sight is like a poison to me .

A lone tear escaped from Advik's eye as he remembered that cursed night where he lost everything , the only person who loved him with everything , he lost her , he lost his butterfly , his Arushi. The self-hate which is eating him from inside for years . He couldn't even feel guilty because that emotion was also restricted for him after what he did to her , how he broke her mentally , snatched her peace , destroyed her and left her as if she meant nothing . Now Seeing himself getting destroyed made him happy . He knows he is a sick bastared and only she can cure him . Yes , even after hurting her only she can cure him . Even after damaging her to no extent only she can make him a human again and he will do anything to bring her to him back , in his life , in his arms , for forever !

Little did he knew that his forever was finally going to be in front of him .
