Part 13 (2)

Coming out of past memories he could only ask Anjali what exactly she wants to point out that day

Chote that day when you went away, Kushi cried a lot but me, Payal and Raj has convinced her a lot that you will come around. We convinced her to go to the party and she agreed but Raj has one condition that he will stay outside her campus until she comes out and she should come out if there is any thing inappropriate and I went with Raj to drop her

Yes, I remembered NK said – that day Kushi was upset because someone is making fun of me and her. She ran away from the party to complain to Raj about that but then she ran away into the bushes crying

Why did she not go to Raj bhaiya asked Arnav?

Chote the thing is, Anjali doesn’t know how to say it loud. She gulped but seeing that everyone eyes on her she said - understand Chote we are young lovers and that too in a car waiting for 1 hour

OMG what the hell Raj and you – I mean but then after that Raj bhaiyaa jailed and you have married Shyam said Akash

Why does you sound like I am advantage taker Akku, can’t you trust your sibling a little? Not everyone is fortunate that they are given luxury to do things in the way they want. This big khandhaani Raizada house wants aman to go to Harvard for his masters. When both of us completed graduation, you were sent to Harvard and I was just denied stating girls can’t manage there. I fought for my right, did arguments and what not with dad but no one came to my rescue. Its only Raj who used to understand me and encouraged me to take up good college here and made me independent. We were supposed to marry. Do u know how a 25 yr old girl who was taunted that she is not getting married suffered to keep up the smile because Raj wanted to settle down first. And how would you both knowhow Raj struggled for his initial business venture, he doesn’t have any back up and he was struggling hard to establish himself so that he wouldn’t be burden on his parents. He used to tell me Anju I was adopted from the streets by Garima maa and Shashi papa and they have invested so much for my studies and they never cared if they have enough money for Payu and chutki. I have earned al ittle with the job I had for their education but this venture is my dream he used to say and I have always stood with him. You know because he is the only person in my growing years with me. Akku you went to Harvard at the age of 20and you happily stayed there for 5 years forgetting all the responsibilities here and I was thrown into this business world. If not for chote I would sulking in that raizada construction industries. Chote was just 15 when I was fighting for my right at 20, still he used to stand for me. That’s why I am more attached to him than you my twin

Guilt washed over Akash; he knows he wasn’t a good sibling for Chote but he never thought he was being unfair for Anjali too

Anyways coming to the point Kushi left to the bushes and forheavens sake we were just kissing but Kushi being Kushi just ran away seeing us like that. When we went in the way Kushi went there Kushi was captured by some guy who has a gun and he is targeting her and our dear Dad

We really didn’t understand what is happening there? We don’t know who is that guy and we don’t know why he is threatening Dad, we just know Kushi and Dad are in danger. When we were about to plan the next course of action Dad has shot that guy and he was unconscious. Before we know anything Shyam came from his hiding and was telling Dad that he has recorded everything the boy said and he has taken pics of his shooting and he will go to police. Raj and me were trying to convince Shyam but he was adamant. And do u know what happened, the guy died and Raj took the entire blame on him because he didn’t want Dad to go thru jails at his age.

When police arrived Raj has surrendered himself but then Shyam didn’t stop blackmailing daddy. One day Shyam said if he wants none of the documents to come out then dad has to agree my marriage with Shyam and I have agreed because the documents which Shyam has are not only the pictures of his shooting of that unknown guy but also documents of our previous Raizada export and import business which was involved in so many frauds. Chacha is the owner but at one point of time Dad was equal owner and he has those documents which states Dad being the owner and he was blackmailing that he will go to press about these and he will show to the world that Raizadas are not what they show. Our whole reputation is at stake Chote and our whole family would be abandoned if anything comes out. Its not just me or Dad but whole of us would be facing alot of trouble. And that guy who got killed is none other than our cousin and he wanted property on his name.

For others it might look lame for me to accept the marriage and for some it might look like dad and me are cowards but then that’s what even Shashi uncle and Raj has agreed on because Raizada industries was already in bad position then. Akash was in Harvard; I am very new to the business and Chote is very young to take care of business. How would you think if Dad got arrested, we will survive? Of course, we have Shashi uncle but then there are so many unfinished businesses for dad to handover all the things to us. Its just not property alone, its reputation of our house

What the hell you have done Anju? Is this the reason to sacrifice yourself. And why exactly Raj bhaiyaa has to go thru 10 years of jail for this? Dad shot him and he died and dad has to suffer. How can you do that to yourself my dear sis asked Akash

Yes, Di how did you do that – Arnav questioned. May be if you have said the whole issue to us, we might have come to some conclusion. This wouldn’t have been the solution. You and Raj bhaiyaa are suffering because of someone

Di Is Raj bhaiyaa adopted by my parents questioned Payal. But we don’t know anything. But why exactly he has to feel that my parents never showed any difference to him and he is a great brother to us

Payal it is not about adoption or your parents being unfair, its just that Raj used to feel that he used to do something for those who has taken care of him when he was on streets

Chote and Akki its not for Dad I did but its for all of us.As I said Raizada industries was not in a good shape then and a small hint ofDad getting arrested or associated with some drug dealing comes out we would have been doomed. And with us there would be number of families which would be doomed. Even Raj sacrificed because of that. He said if he went to jail his parents and kid sisters will feel bad but then they will survive but if Dad goes all of us might come on roads and so many families which depend on us might be on streets

Di why exactly Kushi supported the decision of you marrying Shyam

Because she is witness to everything Chote. She knows about Shyam blackmailing us and Dad getting heart attack at that time and Dad took promise from her that she will send you to Harvard away from this mess and she will take care of you. He loved you dearly Chote, more than me and Akku he loved you. Of course you are his lover Ratna kin.
