The Next Day

Vihaan POV:-

I woke to the scream of Akshaa.

I looked at her, who started crying while making her like a ball on her bed.

" Aksha, look! It's your brother, Vihaan. Look at me! " I called her sweetly, and she looked at me lightly.

Her eyes filled with tears, and tears were falling continuously.

I took her into my lap and started patting her back and wiping her tears.

I kissed her forehead and said, " Don't worry. Nothing has happened to you. "

" Bhai, he... he killed our mother. He... He killed everyone. " Akshaa said while shuttering.

I closed my eyes and controlled my tears.

" We will find him, Aksha. We will bring justice to our family. Don't cry. " I said softly.

She was clinging to me tightly while murmuring, " He will find us, bhai sa. He will find us. I don't want to lose anyone. "

Soon the door opened, and Dr. Bhargav entered. He is one of our family doctors in India who looked after the royal family.

He took out the injection and filled the injection with the medicine.

Then he injected the contents into Akasha's body through her hand.

Soon, she drifted into sleep.

I put her on the bed and covered her with the duvet.

I kissed her forehead and went out with the doctor.

" Uncle... " I was trying to say something but was cut off by him.

" Look, Vihaan, I know you are already in your third year.

The condition of Akasha and Apurva isn't good. They were both suffering from PTSD.

They both refused to eat anything at all.

If this goes on like this, I am worried they will lose their minds.

Tomorrow, you are going to Haridwar with your family. Then take all of them to London.

You know very well all your family died here.

You will all get a reminder if you stay here like this.

It would be better if you all went away from here for some time.

Time will heal everything. " He explained, and I nodded.

He left, and I sighed.

Tears fell from my eyes.

Last night, I stayed with Aksha as she started screaming after 10 minutes of her sleep.

She tried to hurt herself as she wasn't in her mind.

I handled her while taking her in my arms continuously for three hours.

Then she was able to sleep.

When she fell asleep, Apurva woke up too.

I told Tej to stay with Akshaa while I went to handle Apurva.

My sister loved me the most and was comfortable with me.

So, I handle her too.

When she slept, Rudi slept in her room to take care of her.

Abhi got so scared seeing all this that he didn't leave Aunt Kavita at any cost.

Then I went back to Akshaa's room and saw Tej sleeping on the couch.

I covered him with a duvet.

At 7 am, Tej, Jay, and Rudi woke up and went to take a shower.

I heard a knock.

The door opened, and I saw Aunt Bubbly, who looked at us with tears.

" How is she? " She asked softly.

She sat on the bed, and I hugged her.

She started crying.

I know how much she loved my mother.

Her only family was my mother, after my grandmother, Kaya.

When she got a little calm, I broke our hug, and she said, " Vihaan, you need to cry, son. I know you are suffering too.

At least Tej, Jay, and Rudi cried too.

But you didn't cry a bit. Your mother wouldn't like you seeing like this at all.

You didn't all have your dinner too.

If you all go one like this, I am worried you all will get sick. "

I looked at my aunt and said, " Aunt, after Jay's coronation and our conference, I will make everyone eat. Don't worry about it. "

She smiled sadly.

" You know, I am seeing my sister in you. Like you, she cried. But she never gets weak at all. She did her best and fought with everyone for her family. " She said, and I nodded.

" Aunt, you go and have a shower. After that, you will take care of Akshaa. She is very emotional. After seeing everything, her mind got puzzled. She doesn't know how she has to behave. Please take care of her. " I said, and she nodded.

She left, and then I closed my eyes for a minute.

I didn't realize it when I slept.

I wiped my tears and sighed.

Vihaan, you have to take care of your family. You can't get weak at all.

I said to myself and stood up.

I saw Harpreet was coming toward me.

" Harpreet. Please look after Akshaa. I need to leave now. " I said, and she nodded.

I went to my room and took a shower.

I looked at myself in the mirror.

My eyes are red, and there is no smile at all on my face.

Dark circles formed near my eyes.

I sighed and wore a white kurta and pajama.

Today is Jay's coronation.

So, he has to wear a red kurta and khaki pajama.

I went to his room and saw the servant getting him ready.

But his eyes were on his parent's picture.

" Jay! " I called, and he turned and looked at me with teary eyes.

He ran and hugged me tightly.

" Bhai sa, I don't want to do this coronation at all. I am missing them a lot. Mom's dead eyes are still roaming in my mind. I can't forget anything. " He said, and I broke our hug and patted his shoulder.

" Jay, you need to do this. You don't have to worry about anything. Just do this coronation. Your brother will handle the other things, " I said, and he nodded.

Then Tej, Apurva, and Rudhvik entered wearing simple Indian clothes.

Tej and Rudi wore white kurta pajamas like me.

Apurva wore a white suit without any makeup.

" Puru, are you okay? " I asked her softly.

" Bhai, I am very ready for this conference. I know how many problems you are handling right now. We can at least support you. " She said and hugged me tightly.

Then they all hugged me too.

" Let's go. " I said.

We left the room and descended the stairs.

In the hall, we met Uncle Arjun and Uncle Jasminder, who looked at us and smiled at us.

Soon, the hall filled with people.

In two hours, we did Jay's coronation.

As an elder, I performed all the rituals and did Jay's tilak, and made him wear pagdi.

He looked at me with moist eyes, but I encouraged him not to let himself make weak.

Then he made his sword's tilak and gave it to him.

We made him sit on his throne.

Then his coronation ended.

After an hour, I walked onto the stage and looked at the media who was staring at me with their intense gaze.

" As you all know, Dr. Akaash Rathore, Dr. Lily Smith, Mr. Abhishek Rathore, Mr. Mayank Rathore, Mr. Tanish Kashyap, and our other family members died in a bus accident.

So, today, I, Vihaan Smith, will take over the position of President of Life Care Hospital at my mother's place.

Mr. Tejashk Rathore will take over the position of the CEO of Rathore Phamatatical Private Ltd.

Ms. Apurva Rathore will take over the position of CEO of Rathore Textiles.

Mr. Mrityunjay Rathore will take over the position of the CEO of the Rathore Collection.

Mr. Rudhvik Kashyap will take over the position of President of Kashyap Enterprises. " I said, and they nodded.

I looked at my siblings who stood on the stage with confident figures.

There was no smile on their faces, but they didn't look weak at all.

The parents' secretaries came up with the contract, and after reviewing the contract, we signed the contract.

Everyone clicked our pictures.

Then I said, " You call and can ask the questions. "

" How did your parents die? Is it true that they had a bus accident? " This question took our breath for a minute.

I looked at that report, and one looked at me with a cunning smile.

" Yes, they had a bus accident. They all went for a night out. But their bus brakes failed and the bus spun because of the speed.

This accident happened in a deserted area. That's the reason we didn't have any pictures to show you at all.

Any other questions? " I asked.

Another reporter stood up and asked, " Now all the elders of the Rathore family and Kashyap family have died, who will handle all the problems of all the companies? "

My blood boiled at this question.

" My siblings and I just took over the positions of our parents, while our parents' loyal secretaries are also very capable of handling matters. Then why are you worried about it? " I retorted back, and that reporter smiled.

" Mr. Smith, we all know that your bachelor's in medicine hasn't been completed yet. Also, you don't have any experience in handling a company. Mr. Rudhivik Kashyap has just given exams for the last year of his bachelor's.

On the other hand, Mr. Tej, Mr. Jay, and Ms. Apurva has not even completed high school.

How will you all handle such expanded companies? " He exclaimed, and I looked at him with my cold eyes.

" Yes, we are young. But our parents always took us to their companies and taught us everything.

So, there is no need to worry about it at all.

Plus, we also have the guidance of the senior members of our company. " I exclaimed, and his smile wiped off.

" You will see the work progress in a few months too. " I said and left the stage.

One by one, my siblings went onto the stage and punched all those reporters with their words.
