"Bunny!".

Shaurya was moving quickly towards his room but Arjun's call halted his step in the middle of his way to the Mansion.

"Aru!", Arjun then called Aarya and Aarya stood near his Big Brother.  

"Aru take Bunny and go directly to Neil's house. I don't want anyone to know about his arrival especially your mother right now", Arjun said and Aarya looked confusedly at his father. 

"We will talk about this later", Arjun said and Aarya took Shaurya with him to Neil's house (NEIL KHANNA)

Shaurya closed his eyes looked at his father and smiled widely.

"Dadda! I'm fine and why are you sending me to Uncle Neil house? I just came here", Shaurya said and Arjun gave him a sad smile.

Arjun knew his son was broken and trying to cope with the situation badly but his eyes held so much pain that Arjun was scared that Pashika would read him that was why he did not want Shaurya to meet anyone right now.

"My little Champ! Go now and I'll talk to you later", Arjun said and patted his shoulder.

Shaurya nodded hesitantly and they left for Neil's house. 

Arjun knew about his feelings for little Jiya because he could read Shaurya's eyes easily from his childhood. But Arjun could not do anything for his son.

Shaurya told his feelings to Ansh and Chase got to know about his Jiya when they were all studying together. Aarya was Shaurya's shadow who loved to follow him around that was why these were the only people who knew that Shaurya's heart was beating for Jiya.

...

Flashback:-

Shaurya was fifteen years old and ready to go abroad for his Higher studies. He was resting in his bedroom. Quadruplets were at school with Jiya and Twinkle.

(Twinkle is Arjun's neighbor's daughter who studied with Jiya and is also her best friend.) 

SHAURYA's POV:-

I'm going abroad next week but before going away from here. I want to tell her what I feel about her. But will it be good to say anything about my feelings to her?

But what should I do?

She is only eight.

Will she understand my feelings? 

I'm confused ... 

Oh! okay let's practice then I'll tell her.

I am standing in front of the mirror and trying to say ...

"Hi! Jiya I. I li. Like you" 

Aargghhh! No, I think it's not right to say anything to eight-year-old kids who love to play with their kitchen set and run around with my brothers.

I think I have to wait for her at least seven to eight years. Hmm, it'll be good for both of us ...

End of POV:-

Shaurya was wandering around in the house and found his parents were in a deep conversation with Nivaan.

Arjun and Pashika were seated and Nivaan was standing in front of them. 

Shaurya shrugged his shoulders and was about to walk away but something caught his ears.

"What are you saying, Nivaan?", Pashika asked him.

She was speechless.

"Yes, Madam. Whatever I told you was correct. They want her but I told them to wait at least ten years", Nivaan exclaimed.

"Child marriage is a crime in India, Nivaan", Arjun spoke and Shaurya's ears perked up at the word of child marriage.

Shaurya studied Child Marriage in school. So, he hid himself and listened to them. 

"I know Boss but my brother and sister-in-law married her when she was two years old and after a few months of her child marriage, they died in an accident. Her in-laws came to claim her but neighbors in my village informed me that's why I took her with me here. Because I know she will be safe here", Nivaan explained to them.

"And then?", Pashika asked him.

"When she will turn 18. I will do a Gauna ceremony for her. It's like a farewell to the bride", Nivaan said Shaurya was listening to their conversation and he knew they were talking about jiya but GAUNA's words didn't make any sense to him.

"Can't we stop this?", Pashika asked and Nivaan shook his head negatively at her.

"No Jaan, We can't interfere in this matter. Jiya is already married. I know child marriage is a crime and not getting any validation but marriage is something we can't break easily and most importantly it was performed by her late parents so I think it'll be Nivaan's decision", Arjun spoke and Pashika looked sadly and asked, "What about jiya ?".

"I'll tell her when the right time will come", Nivaan said and Pashika did not stop herself from inquiring about the boy, "What's the name of the boy? How old is he and what is he studying or doing ?"

Pashika asked in a breath and Arjun was staring at his bullet train. 

"Madam! His name is Harsh and he is twelve years old and studying in school and he knows that he is married to Jiya and loves her dearly. He wanted to meet her but I stopped him but he wanted to meet her on his fifteenth birthday", Nivaan said and Pashika did not feel good about this.

She adored Jiya like her own daughter.

Shaurya listened to their every word that pierced his little heart. He immediately left the place and entered his room. He locked himself in the bathroom and cried.

He cried hard until he was satisfied by his cruel fate. It was his first love. He searched about child marriage and Gauna on the search engine and read it very carefully.

He understood one thing she was FORBIDDEN for him.

His Jiya.

His first love is FORBIDDEN for him.

That was why everything turned dark in his life and Jiya became HIS FORBIDDEN LOVE.

On the other hand, at the same time, Pashika didn't know what to say about the situation. Arjun felt bad because he had strong feelings that his little Bunny liked Jiya so much. 

Nivaan went back because it was the time to pick up the Quadruplets and Jiya from their school.

Time passed quickly and Shaurya started to ignore her. He didn't meet when he was leaving for abroad. Shaurya cried the whole journey but didn't open his mouth in front of anyone.

Shaurya shared his pain with Ansh and soon Chase joined the duo and they became trio who knew each other's hearts and hidden secrets.

End of flashback:- 

....

The car stopped in front of Neil's House but Shaurya didn't want to enter the house because he didn't want to lie to his aunt Aashi. 

To him, Aashmaan, Porishma, Maria, and Shakti- They were all mother figure as Pashika.

"Aru", Shaurya called Aarya.

"Yes, Big B ?", Aarya replied to him.

"Go, inside Uncle Neil's house", Shaurya said and Aarya looked confused at him.

"Why? Are you not coming with me?", Aarya asked and Shaurya shook his head.

"No, I have somewhere to go ?", Shaurya said and Aarya came out of the car. 

"Where?" ..., Aarya asked curiously.

"I'm going to the Company (K&K Corporation)", Shaurya said and left for the company.

....

At K & K CORPORATION 

"What is this? I asked for the file of two years, not last year ?", Nishma Neil Khanna, Devil's daughter snorted at the employees. 

Shaurya was looking at his tigress who was raging in anger. Her loud voice was clearly saying how cruel was she in business.

"She is a teenager but acts like a mature lady", Shaurya thought and then moved away from the chamber.

"A perfect businesswoman" " he murmured and entered into his hideouts which were invented by him when he came here for the first time with Arjun, twelve years ago.

Shaurya was fascinated by Arjun's Bedroom in the office. Arjun's office and this bedroom were attached and Shaurya loved to sleep in this room. He changed his attire, took a warm long shower, and slept with his broken heart while A lone tear fell from his eyes.

His first and last love Became FORBIDDEN Love for him.
