Recap: Guddan who has gotten up after a serious accident has suffered a memory loss and refused to register Jindals as her family
Part 2- The Truth
"What is even happening? GK enquired, feeling quite pissed with the new faces around her, who were staring at her, as if she was a demon.
She was one though, but she hasn't shown them...had she?!
"I am asking something, Rewa! GK shouted, her temper crossing the line.
Rewa glanced at Bhushan and as a look passed between them, Bhushan nodded and Rewa turned around to face the Jindals. "I request all of you to leave this room.
"What?! The bahus turned to each other, furious as well as confused.
"Tum humein yaha se nikaal rahi ho! Saru asked Rewa.
"It was a request, otherwise your suggestion can be considered, if you insist, GK interjected coolly, turning to Saru.
"Guddan, tum... AJ caught her wrist but the instant she passed him a look of disbelief, he let go and turning around to his family, asked them to comply with her request'.
"Par AJ... Durga tried to intervene but AJ raised his forefinger and leaving no room for argument, left the room.
As Durga glared at Guddan, GK raised her brows mockingly and signalled her to leave. Huffing, Durga left followed by others and soon GK was alone with Bhushan and Rewa.
"Let's start now, shall we? GK insisted and turning towards the window, stood ramrod straight with her hands crossed behind her back. "What is the date today?
"Its 13 Jan. 19 Rewa replied, in response to which GK stiffened.
"So, this means I am almost 20 and a half years old... GK trailed and turning around, approached Bhushan. "Is he alive?
In response, Bhushan looked away and GK clenched his fingers into a fist, almost feeling helpless. He was gone.
"The last I can recall is running out of the meeting when... GK trailed grimly to which Rewa nodded. "We were tricked that day, that call you received was a farce...it was a carefully devised plan to kill you.. Rewa stopped, uncertain, seeing the mirthless smirk on GK's lips.
"Don't stop on my account! I am hardly surprised.. GK chuckled darkly.
Flashback
As GK stood along the window, overlooking the streets of Dubai, two men dressed in thobes waited patiently in their seats.
"I won't compromise, Mr. Khurshid. GK plays by her own rules, GK turned around and sauntered towards them like a cat. As her fingers leisurely traced the contours of her table, she looked up and smirked at them. "But if you are willing to...
"Miss! A man interrupted her proposal, as the smirk turned into a frown and she turned to the door annoyed, to see a man panting for breath. "Seems like, you don't like the concept of living, Harris! She hissed, at which Harris gulped hard.
"There's a call from hospital! He replied, forwarding the phone as GK's eyes widened and rushing towards him, she snatched the phone and pressed it to her ears.
The conversation wasn't very pleasant as in the next few seconds, GK rushed past Harris out of the room, leaving him with the men, absolutely clueless.
As the contingent of cars, entered a lonely road amidst the desert, a shot echoed across, combined with a bursting sound. Soon a screeching sound followed and as a bullet whizzed past GK's head, she lost her control and rammed her head, straight into the steering wheel.
~*~*~*~*~*~
"I must have fainted then GK recalled, to which Rewa nodded.
"As far as I know, after that your car toppled over and over, while the barrage of bullet attacks from all around continued until Jayce showed up accompanied by his men... Rewa trailed, clenching her teeth.
"Ah! That guy! He is like my shadow, GK smiled slightly and turning around, patted on Rewa's shoulder, "It's not your fault, Rewa. I was the one who sent you to Mexico otherwise if you would have been by my side, I would have never got injured.
"So, what happened after I was rescued?! GK turned to her father.
"Your memories of the past 4 years were wiped clean due to your head wound. But that wasn't all, your personality switched...
And as Bhushan continued with the story, GK's eyes widened in shock and she struggled to hold on to her head, as blurry images like a maze poured in. A myriad of voices echoed in her ears and her heart started pounding heavily. Worried, as Rewa helped GK to sit on the sofa, GK hid her face in her palms, disappointed.
"Ridiculous! This is ridiculous! I am GK!! Guddan never existed, this is all a load of s***. That feeble, idiotic girl had died 5 years back when...this is plain ridiculous!! GK shouted slamming her hand against the glass table.
"Guddan! Are you ok!? Tum theek ho!! Akshat slammed on the door worried, hearing her shouts.
"And this man! IS MY HUSBAND!! Memories meri gayi thi, aapki nhi!! How could you allow me to go ahead with such idiocy and marry some unknown man! GK shouted at Bhushan.
"He is not an unknown man! You married him choice, because you loved him!! Bhushan shouted, tired of his daughter's rants.
"I don't love him! Guddan did! And I am not Guddan! I am GK, Garima Khurana! GK screamed back.
"Chillao mat! Tumhe kitna roka tha maine par tum par pyaar ka bhoot sawar tha! Let me make it clear, Akshat Jindal is your husband and my son-in-law! Bhushan replied getting frustrated.
"This Akshat Jindal is Guddan Gupta's husband, which I am not! GK smirked.
"You are Guddan Gupta! At least in this country, and before you start cooking up something, let me advise you Garima, tum dono ki shaadi legal hai aur registered bhi, tum mano ya na mano, you are Guddan Akshat Jindal! Bhushan snapped and marched out of the room.
"Wait up Dad! I am not finished with you...wait up! GK shouted and started to follow after him. But as she stepped out of the room, she came face to face with Akshat and stopped.
They continued to look at each other, one with hope while other with anger. "Rewa!! I want to leave RIGHT AWAY! GK hissed dangerously as Rewa came running and nodded in affirmation.
"Kahan ja rahi ho tum!? Durga interrupted in between and GK snapped.She was already disturbed by the recent revelations and this woman, who apparently was supposed to be her daughter-in-law, was trying to act like her mother-in-law, which didn't bode well with GK.
Overcome by a fit of rage, GK looked around here and there and spotting a vase, s he shattered it against the wall and twirling around Durga, held a broken piece against her neck.
"Didi
"Durga
"Guddan
Cumulative shouts rung across the hall as bahus mouths opened horrified while Dadi' s eyes widened in terror. AJ decided to take a step forward but GK stopped him.
"Don't! Mr. Husband! Just don't! And you! Pointing the sharp piece back to Durga's neck, GK continued "I am not in the best of my moods right now! And you probably won't appreciate the ways in which I cool down! Aren't you supposed to be my lovely bahu?! GK pressed the piece to Durga's neck as Durga's pulse picked up.
"Bahu ho toh bahu ki tarah behave karo, meri saas banne ki koshish bhi mat karna, varna tumhari saansein cheen ne mein mujhe zyada takleef nhi hogi! GK threatened menacingly as few drops of blood slid across the vase's edge and Durga hissed in pain.
"To be honest, I feel quite tempted to do so seeing as how you've successfully managed at bringing out my worst in a matter of few minutes BUT I'd rather not have my clean record tarnished, by your blood! And with that, Guddan pushed Durga towards Kishore as he caught her.
Gasping for breath, as Durga pressed her fingers against her throat and glared her way, GK threw the shard away and clicking her fingers, signalled Durga to keep her eyes to the ground. "I hope to never see your ugly face ever again but If we do meet, make sure to keep your eyes down...it will aid you in living longer! GK smiled and let herself be pulled away by Rewa, while Akshat watched her leave, his eyes as empty as space. Was it...because of him?! Had he done that?! Has he ended up destroying his happiness by his own hands?!
How was it?😃
Though, I know this part had no AkshAn scenes and the previous one hadn't either. The thing is, this story is kind of a suspense thriller so probably, AkshAn scenes won't be in a heavy number, the prime reason why we all read FF/OS/TS. But I do assure you, that story will be interesting and will gradually develop along with AkshAn's relationship😛
And yes, this story will have quite a few number of flashbacks so that I can form a background and give you an insight into GK aka Guddan's life. This story's background is a bit different from the show, as you must have noticed that Guddan married AJ coz of love. And since, story is about Secret and Lies, I'll develop them on the go so I recommend all the readers to pay heed to every single detail😃
And finally, after reading the update, you all will think that how this story will progress.😆
Halt! Screech! Stop! Don't think! Don't judge either! Because I love Akshan just as much! And I won't butcher their characters😃
Hope you all can find in your heart to continue with me, till then😃
