PART-5

A Week Later...

Malabar Hill
Mumbai

Jai stepped down from his recently purchased stylish BMW which glittered in the morning sunlight...

"We will live here..." Tony squealed, gaping at the palace like bungalow he had only seen in some old black and white movies...

"Yes...Tony..." he said...

"Sir, this is the best house in this extremely up market residential area..." pushkar said coming from behind... he had to almost pay double the amount to get this mansion...

"Hmm...I like it..." jai said admiring the place...a vast garden welcomed them, with all kinds of floral shrubs and herbs...a white marbled fountain was placed in its middle...

The three of them walked in...Tony gasped while jai looked on...the English interiors of the house impressed him, exactly what he was planning to have... it had a colonial feel to it...Tony went straight to the kitchen, admiring it in his Malayalam tongue...

His eyes caught one specific painting...a ballad dancer in an intricate pose...he stood still... his eyes glued to the almost realistic portrait...it felt as if a real-life woman was dancing in front of him... an image fixed in his heart revived...the same beauty, the same grace...the same poise...dancing under the spotlight... he heard a soft symphony of music...

"Sir...sir..." pushkar's incessant voice launched him back to present...

"Huh!!!" he said breathless, as if he just came out after being underwater for sometime...

"I have moved your luggage...anything else sir..."

"What about the work I told you to do...?" jai asked...

"Yes sir, it's done...let's go to the study and discuss..." pushkar suggested...

"I will finally cook today..." Tony announced proudly...pulling up his loose pant...

"No Tony, you won't do anything...we have servants..." jai said

"I will rot sitting idle...I will go back to Idukki then..." he said with a flash of anger...

"Okay...do whatever you feel like..." jai said shaking his head...

"Come sir, upstairs..." pushkar lead him...showing him around... it was too magnanimous a place for two mortals...

****

"Sir, I have found out everything about the Hotel Industry...one of the chains of hotels is running in losses...the Guptas...rather than building a new one we can buy them out, it will be a cheaper proposition..." pushkar said...

"Arrange a meeting with the Guptas tomorrow..."

"I think we will get the deal sir..."

"Oh!!Yes...I am sure..."

"And the details you asked..."

"Read it out Pushkar..." jai said listening with deep concentration...his thick brows pricked as he read out...

"Tarun Sablok, one of the hotshot business lawyer in the corporate industry...married to Pia Dixit, they have a three year old daughter... Riya..." he further read about the approximate wealth the Sabloks had...

"Nishikant Dixit is dead; he died almost three years ago out of heart-attack...he had distributed his wealth equally between his two daughters, the elder Pia Dixit and younger Bani Dixit..."

"Anu Chopra is happily married, has her own showroom of interiors...she has a son, Sujay..." jai's face turned soft...sujay, he whispered to himself...

"Ranveer Walia, the head of Walia Group of Industries... had almost tripled the wealth Mr. Uday Walia had left...almost six years ago, his step-brother was accused of murdering Uday Walia, supposedly he was poisoned for lifetime, in an accident he died..." jai flinched...

"Bani Dixit, married to Ranveer Walia, she has her own dance academy, called Resonance...they have a son Ayush, studying in Panchgani..." jai's face lost its color as soon as he heard those words...it turned ashen hearing the earth-shattering news...

"WHAT!!!" he shouted at once...

"Yes Sir..."

"When is the date...the date when they got married..." jai asked hastily...

"Sir...its six years back...in July or something..." pushkar said reading the information on the printed sheets... jai's heart-beat stopped for a second...this was not true...this was just not true...just a few weeks later bani got married...this was rubbish...he snatched the papers from pushkar's hands reading the lines again and again...until they got memorized in his mind...he threw away the papers scornfully...so another person was added to the list...he knew how to do it...getting bani was not difficult at all... she would be the easiest pawn...

"AD sir...can I ask you something..." Pushkar said, briefly scared by his venomous outburst...

"Hmm..."

"Why did you give me the job and paying me double the amount I deserve even when you didn't know me...?"

"Because I liked your honesty...and I know you will be loyal to me..."

"Yes sir..."

"Just remember one thing... whatever I am doing whatever or whatever I will do, you will just follow, not uttering a single word..."

"Yes sir...because of you my mother is getting treated in the best of hospitals...I can lay my life for you...sir..."

"Work out the details for tomorrow's meeting..." jai said...

****

Jai sat brooding in his brobdingnagian bedroom, gulping down another shot of the burning alcohol...I thought of all the people you can do no wrong to me...but even you betrayed me bani...you cheated my love...you will pay bani...you will pay for this heavily... the most of all...

In his aggravated smoldering anger, he crushed the crystal glass in his palm...making the broken glass pieces dissect his calloused skin...hot blood oozed out...slowly drenching his entire hand with red blood... blood with extreme vengeance...he opened his closed fist, the crunched glass pieces stained in his blood fell on the floor... ...

God bless
