Part 53:
He parked the car and then got down. He removed his glasses and stopped to see the palace from outside.. Nothing changed.. Everything here was at its same place since the time he left..
The other guards outside saluted him once and he started walking inside not caring anyone greeting him. He was called as Chotte Malik by the servants here.. Everyone working here were seeing him after 12 years.. He looked much like his father.. He had his fathers height, personality and anger.. He came to the huge living room where his fathers big photo was hung ... He looked at the picture once without any expressions on his face. He turned when he heard footsteps of his daadi..
Daadi: I knew you would come..
She smiled at him and then started calling her Maid..
Daadi: Kamala.. Chotte Malik is here.. Get his favourite Masala Tea..
The maid heard her and left for the Kitchen.
Arnav: I am not here for that Daadi.. And Dont call me by that name Again..
Daadi: Remember this is not Raizada Mansion .. This is Sheesh Mahal and everyone would call you as Chotte Malik only.. I cant help.
Arnav gritted his teeth and his Daadi was very well aware what was making him angry.. When he was young, he loved people here giving him so much of respect when they called him Chotte Malik. He used to make sure anyone who doesnt call him by this name was punished . Masala Tea was his favourite those days.. He made sure he had once in the morning and once at the evening too.. But then only the Masala Tea which his Mother made..
Arnav walked to Daadi and looked in her eyes once..
Arnav: I am here to get Mumma's things back.. Ask someone to open her room.. Now..
Daadi: Whats so hurry? Drink the tea first Chotte..
Arnav: You know I never liked this Tea made by anyone else other than Mumma..
Daadi: Sorry.. But you know I cant get her to make it for you.. You know she died..
Before Nani could complete her sentence, Arnav pushed the Flower Vase kept on the table beside him in anger hearing again about his Mumma's death from her Daadi and Daadi closed her eyes in fear.. He and his Anger was so unpredicatable..
Arnav: Before I start breaking things here, I need you to give me the Keys of Mumma's room..
The Maids and servants cleaning the house were very much afraid seeing someone talking to Daadi in such a Harsh tone.. Some of the maids were new here but they could easily come to know seeing him that he was the Only Grandson of this Mahal..
Daadi: I think the Raizada's havent thought you how to behave with your elders.. Is this the way to talk to your Daadi, Chotte?
He was so furious now that he didnt wait down anymore.. He started walking towards his Mumma's room upstairs and Daadi called a Servant..
He came exactly at the room door and saw a small lock.. He was about to break the lock open by kicking the door when the Servant came in a hurry and gave him the lock keys shiverring..
Servant: Chotte Malik.. Ke..Keyys..
Arnav looked at the servant once in anger for calling him again by that same name which he hated the most and then took the keys.. The servant ran down again.. He opened the door of the room which was closed from ages.. Since the time his mother died no one was allowed to enter this room.. This was the same place she committed suicide..
He came inside. It was his mothers Bedroom.. His eyes first fell on the Photo frame of his Father and mother at the side table.. He picked it in his hands and then caressed his mothers photo.. He was already in tears.. He loved his mother more than his father always when he was young.. Everyone told him that he had his Fathers traits in him more than his mother.. But when it came to loving someone, he was like his mother.. He loved unconditionally and without expecting anything in return just like his mother did.. His parents had a Love marriage..The Raizada's were middle class people but his Father didnt mind that.. He fell in love with his mother and married her secretly and got her in Sheesh Mahal.. Daadi never accepted her as her Bahu.. She never left a chance to irritate her, ignore her and torture her in her own ways..
After Anjali was born, things seemed to be still worse between Daadi and his mother since she always wanted a Heir to their Malik Throne.. And Anjali being a girl would never be able to remain a Malik forever.. But when Arnav was born, things changed.. His mother got some respect from Daadi for this and Arnav's dad was happy that things are changing..Arnav was loved the most in the family.. He was his Daadi's favourite.. Anything he wished was given to him then and there.. That had made him more dominant on everyone.. But everyone knew he was a child then and he would change later on..
He was still in his childhoon thoughts when his eyes fell on the bed where he had seen his mother's dead body when he was only 14.. He kept the frame back on the table and moved towards the bed.. He kept on seeing it for long time remembering that day when his life changed completely..
He had seen the Blood ooze out from his mother's hands and she had cut her nerves. The scene was so horrifying.. Arnav was at the Window trying to Shout and scream from outside asking his mother to open the door but she didnt.. She just took the knife placed on the table with the Fruits and cut her hand nerves.. He had seen his mother dying every second that day.. He couldnt control his tears anymore.. The Arnav Singh Raizada was actually crying... He sat on the bed covering his face with his hands..
**************
It was night.. Khushi was worried.. Arnav was supposed to come here to pick her but but then he still didnt come.. SHe tried calling his number but he didnt answered.. She was worried now.. She knew something was wrong.. She had to know where he is atleast to find him out.. May be he was still in Sheesh Mahal? But would be like her to come there? What if Daadi stops her from entering.. A lot many bad thoughts haunted in her mind and thats when she felt him behind her . She turned behind at once to see and she almost was going to fall when he held her..
He smiled at her once and then asked..
Arnav: White makes you look irresistable..
Khushi blushed and then stood straight..
Khushi: Arnav. When did you come? You didnt even recieve my call.. I was so scared..
Arnav: I was just outside your house when you called me.. So I didnt recieve..
Khushi could see he was hiding something from her and faking to her that he was happy.. She knew the reason behind this.. He had been to Sheesh Mahal which meant he remembered his past again.. A past which was still unknown to her..
Arnav: Had food?
Khushi: No.. I was waiting for you..
Arnav: Khushi I told you I can be late.. Then...?
Khushi: Arnav.. I didnt feel like having without you.. I will ask Amma to get out plates ready..
She was about to move when he held her hands to stop her and then hugged her. She hugged him back instantly.. He needed this hug.. She knew he was not ok... He was fighting his own memories inside him.. He caressed his hair and then his nape and tried to soothe his pain.. THey were like that hugging each other for some minutes and then they pulled back.. He cupped his face and spoke to him..
Khushi: Everything is fine Arnav.. Stop thinking about your Past.. It will always hurt..
Arnav: I cant forget it Khushi.. (He said with teary eyes..) I cant forget that night..
Now Khushi didnt knew which night of his Past haunted his mind.. But she still tried to calm him down.. She took him to the Bed and made him sit. She then sat next to him..
Khushi: Whenever you rememeber that night , that bad memories, try to think of the good days you spent before when you were all toegther..This will help you erase the bad memories forever Arnav.. This is what I do..
Arnav stopped thinking about his past and then asked her questioningly..
Arnav: What? You mean when you remember what Bad I did to you, you try to forget that by remembering what good I did to you?
Khushi: Hmm..
Arnav: What good memories do you remember Khushi.. I wanna know..
Khushi smiled.. Finally she was able to get him out of his own thoughts..
Khsuhi: I will.. but before that let me get the Dinner ready.. I will tell you onway to the Hotel.. Ok?
She touched his cheek once and then moved outside the room to get the plates..
