Next part
Arnav sat outside the doctor's cabin the next day. It was taking a huge effort in his part to stop himself from barging inside the room and demand the doctor to tell him how Kushi was. Just then the door opened and a nurse called him in.
The doctor was Mr. Malik and he had a gentle smile on his face.
Mr. Raizada, her addiction, as we have informed you is not too deep. We believe with proper consoling and your support we can help her. Actually we can cure her. I advise one month in rehab and then 2 therapy classes after. Then we will see. These medicines are to be given to her. The doctor told him. Arnav suddenly felt an unknown sense of relief flood him. He released his breath that he dint know he was holding on to. He was confused with his feeling towards this girl. He nodded his head as he couldn't trust his own voice.
So I want you to admit her today itself if it is possible. And one more thing Mr. Raizada, Kushi has to adjust in one of the rooms that we have here only. I'm sorry for the inconvenience while she is staying here. You can visit her but you will not stay here. He said in a straight voice but Arnav could see the amusement in his eyes. He understood that Dr. Riddhima had told him abt their conversation from before. Instead of answering him, Arnav turned towards Kushi who had a very confused look on her face.
Challe? He asked her getting up and both left the room. (Can we leave?)
Arnav ji? Kushi called in a soft voice
Han? Kya hua? Arnav spoke as he led her into her former room.
Hum bimar hai kya? She asked meekly. (Am I ill?)
Nahi tho (no)
Fir aap Hume yaha kyu chod rahe ho? (Then why are you leaving me here?)
Actually tum bimar nahi ho, but.. Arnav dint know how to explain this to her. (Actually you are well but...)
With a sign he started again, Kushi, please kya tum mere liye yaha rah sakthi ho? He asked her as he turned towards her direction. (Kushi please can you stay here for me?)
Please mana math karna.. He practically pleaded with her. (Please don't refuse)
Kushi nodded her agreement with a wide smile. It dint matter what the reason was, Kushi will do what her Arnav ji said to her as she trusted him. She dint know why but in this whole world, apart from her jiji it would be Arnav ji whom she trusted wholeheartedly.
Ok challo saying he guided her to their previous room.
...
[Flash back]
It was in the evening, the sun was setting and the sky was turning dark. Arnav stood as a 17 year old peeping into the room where his Titli sat crying. This was something he hated to see but he couldn't do anything. He really wanted to hug her and tell her he lied and he loved her whole heartedly. But that was not possible. He knew that if he told her. Kamya would hurt her. He would lose her like he lost his mother. He moved away from Kushi's house. He was 17 now and soon he would be 18 and this would be good time for him to run off. He would move away from this place and start a new life for himself. May be he could stay with his sister too. He smiled when he thought of his sister. Yes he thought he would run off and go and stay with her. May be he could get his Titli to stay with him too. In all this thought he dint realize that he had reached home. As soon as he entered his house he was shocked to see the sight in front of him. He saw his father tied to the pillar and a man stood next to him waving some papers in front of him.
Ho... look who came in. Said a female voice he knew too well
The rightful owner of the Malik Empire. Kamya spate with disgust.
Arnav stood there looking around with confusion and then fear set in.
But how can you be the heir when I have the eldest son? She spate looking at his father.
My Armaan should be the heir. He should be the rightful owner of all this. He should be legally a Malik but who gets it? You! She sneered at him.
Arnav stood dumb folded what the hell was going on? He wondered
Kamya shut up. What the hell are you yapping at? His father yelled
Of course you don't remember. I'll enlighten you. 19 years ago, you entered my house instead of your mistress. In your drunk state you dint even see me. You raped a 15 year old girl and got her pregnant. You know, I was pregnant with your child. A boy that is. All my life I was ridiculed because of you. B*****d that is what they called my son. I had to send him off to hostel to make sure he had a decent life, to keep him away from all the evils that the society threw at me. I need my revenge with you. I needed to get even. I am already your wife. My son had gotten his name. I have already destroyed your son's life. Now I'll get rid of you. She laughed evilly
You dono what I did don't you? She mocked him and then took out a CD and inserted it into the player. There they all saw the humiliating scenes of Arnav pleasuring women twice his age. His father spate in disgust and glared at him. Arnav felt so disgusted. He just wanted to kill himself.
Just imagine what will happen when everyone sees this. She laughed. I am going to release these CDs out. Your name and family is gonna be famous Malik. She sang out laughing.
Ok enough. Sign this. A man standing next to him said. He had a gun in his hand and was pointing it at his father.
You sign this I'll let you go more so I'll even destroy that CD and let you live your miserable life. He said waving that paper again.
Arnav saw his father think for some time. OK he said and the man released him. His father was abt to sign the papers when they heard police sirens.
We have surrounded the house. You cannot escape. Place your guns down and come out of the house to surrender. The voice said through the loud speakers.
Kamya busted into laughter. No... I'll not come out. She was laughing like crazy.
Ok Malik you better sign it fast. We need to get out. He pressed the gun on his temple and motioned him to sign. Just then Arnav felt someone pull him. He turned around to see Mahender Kumar uncle. What the hell was he doing here? He looked around and people were busy seeing whether his father signed or not.
Challo beta. Mahi uncle pulled him. There were abt to leave when Kamya saw them.
Oye. They are leaving. Catch him. I want him dead. She cried out. But Mahi had already taken him out. They were running as fast as they could.
Your sister and your uncle have come. They want to take you with them. He told Arnav as they ran. Just then a bulled wheezed past them.
He heard firing all around him. He was pulled and pushed by Kumar, making sure the boy was not shot.
Tum jao. I'll come saying Kumar pushed him out of the house before tacking a guy who was trying to get hold of Arnav. As he ran out, Komal aunty took his hand and pulled him through the garden. The tress and the rose bushes hid them.
Bagh Arnav he heard her shout to him... he ran and ran... Jaldi... she said... Pakado mera hath... he saw a hand stretch towards him... Jaldi ... He again heard it...then he heard bullet sound... Bang... Bang...Amma... he heard another voice... He turned to see her fall down and a girl standing there with a horrified look. Titli he whispered but he was frozen. He dint understand why his body was not cooperating with him.then another sound Bang he heard followed by Bagh jao... Arnav... bagh jao... Komal aunty shouted at him pushing off Nahi... He yelled... Beta run as fast as you can she cried out before she closed her eyes. He was abt to go when he felt a tug on his arm. It was another servant. Malik you need to go. They have killed your father. Now they are behind you. Please. He begged. Arnav was too shocked to do anything. He let the man pull him. But all the while his eyes were on his Titli. Her beautiful innocent face was full of horror. He wanted to go to her. He wanted to help her but his body was not in his control. Chote he heard his sister call. That time only he realized that he had reached outside Sheesh Mahal. His sister and uncle helped him into the car and they started it. All through his journey from Sheesh Mahal to Delhi, he dint feel a thing. He sat there like a statue.
Three days later he came out of his state. That day was the worst day of his life. He had learnt that the Kumar's family had been killed. Including his Titli and her younger brother. He held onto the paper and cried his eyes out. He had fallen sick and had been hospitalized. It had taken nearly one year for him to do his normal duties. His sister had been a major support to him in that time. His uncle and aunty were like pillars along with his cousin. Even thought so many years had passed after that incident Arnav couldn't forget his Titli. Her face and memories had carved itself inside his heart, making a permanent place for themselves.
Turning around from his memories, Arnav looked at a sleeping Kushi. She was not his Titli. She couldn't be. Though her eyes and few of her features resembled her. But he knew she was not as he had gone back to Sheesh Mahal. He had gone back to make sure whether the rumor were true or not. He had seen the body of his Titli, burnt fully in the morgue. He had himself, done the last rights for the whole Kumar's family. He had learnt from Ramu Kaka, the servant who had pulled him after Komal auntie's death that his Titli and her brother along with their father were in their house when it had blasted into flames.
He got up from the bed knowing well that he couldn't sleep anymore. He took out his laptop and started working, throwing few glances at Kushi's moon lit face every often.
...
Maan sat lost in his thoughts. He was sitting in a village near Lucknow listening to the story of what happened to his uncle and sister. All was believable except one
Kaka I heard you had a daughter. What happened to her? He asked the old man.
Ji? Wo. Wo... he stammered.
Kahiye. Aapki beti kahan hai? Maan asked or the more his voice was like he was threatening. (Tell me where your daughter is?)
Joot bolney se pehle yeh photo dekhlena saying he threw a photograph at the old shivering man. (Before you lie look at this picture)
The man's face paled at the sight. The photograph was of his family. His daughter Neela who was only 8 years old that time. Unknowingly a drop of tears left his eyes.
Tell me. Kaha hai wo. Kya hua uske sath. Please. Maan spoke desperately. (Where is she? What happened to her?)
Wo is duniya me nahi rahi sahib. The man, whose name was Ramu said as he wiped the tear of his face. (She is not alive anymore sir)
Maan looked intentionally at the old man. He was trying to piece things together. That is when things clicked.
Wo tumari beti thi na? Us rath Sheesh Mahal me? He questioned the man. (It was your daughter no? the night in Sheesh Mahal that night?)
Ramu's face was immediately filled with dred. His body started shivering badly.
Tell me. Nahi tho me tumari sare pariwar walo ko uske pas bej doonga. Maan threatened. (Tell me. Or I'll send all of your family to her place)
Ji sahib. He said atlas defeated.
Wo meri beti Neela hi thi. (She was my daughter Neela)
Tho tumne joot kyu bola. Tumne itne sal thak yeh kyu bola ki meri bahan zinda nahi hai. Maan yelled. He was furious. (Then why did you lie. All these years you kept saying she was dead why?)
Ramu started telling him what happened that night.
(His version and it is in English)
That night I left Neela and went to work. I overheard Kamya madam speak in the phone with someone. She was telling how she was going to get her revenge by killing everyone from this family. She was also saying she would kill Titli as Arnav would be hurt more. I immediately ran and informed Kumar sahib. He said that I should bring Neela to his house and they need to stay with the family. He also asked me to help him. He called the police while I was going to get Arnav baba away. But by the time I was outside the house I saw Anjali bitiya there. She was with her uncle. I know her as our Malkin had introduced us. I took them to Kumar sahib's house. He asked them to stay out of sight and told me to get Arnav baba safely to them. He told us that not many know of that they are here and related so Arnav baba would be safe with them. The plan was made. He said he would bring Arnav to me and I was to take him to Anjali bitiya. Then I was to go and stay in his house till he returns.
But things got different. Titli, on hearing Arnav baba was in danger ran out of the house. Komal ji also ran after her telling me to take care of her baby boy. But she dint return. I went out of the house to see Arnav baba standing shocked and Komal ji on the ground with blood pouring from the bullet wound. I knew I had to take Arnav baba to safety so I pulled him away towards his waiting sister and uncle. After that I saw Titli sitting and crying near her mother who was dead by them. I carried her towards the house. I thought it would be good if we entered by the back door. When I was abt to push the door, a blast happened pushing us away. We fell and the impact made Titli bitiya hit her head badly. I forgot abt her and ran towards the house as I was worried abt my daughter who by that time was burnt alive. There in that burnt down house I saw the whole Kumar family's ashes. My daughter was burnt so was Kumar sahib along with their baby boy. Crying I went near Titli and picked her up. Her head was bleeding. I ran towards the hospital. There I called Komal ji's brother who was a mitai wala. He and his wife came there and took Titli with them. I came back and told everyone that the whole Kumar family died as I dint want them to go behind her. I had heard Kamya talk that she wanted to kill that small girl in front of Arnav baba. I was scared for her safety. That is why I lied.
By the time he finished he was crying badly. Maan was not even bothered by this. He was elated that he had gotten some information about his sister.
What is her uncle's name? He asked more so commanded
Gupta sahib. He is Shashi Gupta the man replied.
Maan walked out of that house and ordered to be driven to Lucknow. He then told Pratap to get info on Shashi Gupta. By the time he reached Lucknow he had all the information on the Guptas.
...
Akash sat in his car staring at the balcony of Payal's house. He just couldn't decide what to do. He had seen the way she had entered the office after meeting Arnav. The way her face was, made him for the first time want to hit his brother. He wanted to hug her and ask her what happened. He wanted to know and erase all the worry and pain from her life which, at that time was so very clear on her face. But he dint know how to. The whole time she was in the office, he could see her restless and the worry was so etched on her normally calm face. He tried to ask her what was troubling her. But she being herself, brushed him off.
But now at nearly 2 am in the morning, he was outside her apartment thinking on whether he should go or not. Just then the light was on in her room. He could see it and he immediately made the decision. He got out of the car and walked towards her flat. It was time he asked her and found out what troubled her. He would defo assist her in getting a solution to whatever problem she was facing.
With determined strides he reached and knocked at her door.
