6 A loving daughter

The moment, she & Dhruv turned to exit the room, a large crash was heard, followed by people's ravenous screams & howling. Janhvi & Dhruv turned in a panic only to see the giant chandelier overhead had fallen on the place where P.K. was sitting. Janhvi smirked before she yelled & ran towards the place, "Papa!"

Dhruv ran after her in an attempt to catch her. He was afraid that she may hurt herself in the process. But she was swift in her movement & evaded the people easily. She crouched down next to the broken chandelier & cried her heart out. Manvi & Neil, who had come later, saw the scene unfold. They came round to support her.

"Papa?" she called for one last time.

"I'm here. I'm okay", P.K. stood up from behind the chandelier with support from Kabir.

The words she heard shattered her hopes of wiping her slate clean. With gritted teeth, she stood up with the help of Dhruv. He smiled at her lovingly, "You were thinking too much. What can happen to Dad?"

"Yes", A strong arm wrapped around her shoulder & saw P.K. beaming at her with pride, "What can happen to me when I've such a loving daughter?"

A loving daughter?

Janhvi's thin brow arched up slightly. A loving daughter. She held that crown once when her Dad was alive. She indeed wanted to avenge her deceased Dad. Manvi & Neil both had complicated looks on their faces.

Janhvi smiled with tears & hugged him lightly, "Are you okay, Papa?"

"Yeah", by the other hand he hugged Kabir, "This son of mine took the extreme step to save me."

Janhvi's eyes darted towards him while Manvi & Neil exchanged glances. She smiled grimly which Kabir failed to notice. She approached him because she felt disgusted to stay beside P.K., "Kabir, are you okay? Did you get hurt?"

Saying so, she darted a glance to Manvi behind her. She understood & immediately walked up with teary eyes, "K? Are you okay? I was so scared when I couldn't find you anywhere."

Kabir smiled & pulled her in for a hug in front of everyone. P.K. couldn't conceal his smile & announced happily, "Today, I'll happily announce that my younger son already has his fiancée by his side. Manvi, she is the young sister of Janhvi. They studied together since their college days."

Janhvi gave off a menacing smile & her aura turned dangerous.

'What if I failed in an attempt to kill you, P.K. Mittal? I cleared my other motive, effortlessly. Your doom quickened its steps.'

Sonia darted her a terrified glance. Janhvi turned her head & spoke, "What's wrong?"

Sonia shook her head as she stammered, "Sis, it's...it's just that... you look menacing."
