Part 13

The trio returned late at night, and directly went to sleep oblivious of the fact that their mother was watching them.

In the morning, at the breakfast table, they were having the breakfast.

As usual Savitri Devi was sitting at the head's chair while Maan on her Right and Dev NT on her left.

As they finished the meal, the lawyer came,

S: hello Mr. Rai

R: hello madam, hello MK.

M: hello uncle (he was Pratham's best friend and Maan always called him uncle in spite of the fact that his mother strongly disapproved it)

R: hi Dev, how are you? Hello NT

D: I am good

NT: hello uncle (and she bends to take his blessings)

S: Mr. Rai, if you are over with this entire fiasco can we proceed?

R: yes madam

S: have you brought the papers.

R: yes

S: you three sit down, if you still can obey me

They were confused and sat down

R: these are the papers (he was a little uncomfortable)

S: as far as I know, all the business and property extra are in my name

R: what do you exactly want?

S: I want to fire Maan from this job and also ban the entry of these three in any of my properties

R (shocked, but he knew this woman she was not normal): let me first tell you the ownerships

S: I know, what's there to tell?

R: (looks at the three, Maan was sitting calmly and so was Dev & NT was wondering as to what is all this) then also let me tell first, then you decide

S: ok tell (smirking)

R: as Maan and Dev already know, but it seems that you are not upto date with the things

S: don't talk in riddles

R: till Maan was 21 everything was in your name, you signed those papers that said so

S: yes

R: you were told everything and you were asked to read the papers before signing them

S: yes

R: ok

S: so

R: the papers said that you were the guardian of your sons till they are 21 and once Maan is 21 he will automatically take over without any formalities and so will be the case with Dev. As they gained the age the ownerships were automatically transferred

S: what ?????

R: yes madam.

S: then why all these years I have been signing those papers day after day year after year

R: you are 5% shareholder in KC and as you are always available the signatory authority is yours, that is in Maan's absence you sign the papers etc.

S: Maan, MAAN!! (fuming)

M: yes

S: you knew all this

M: yes

S: and Dev

D: yes

S: then also you all never told me

M: what was there to tell mother?

D: weather you are the sole owner or not, you are still our mother

M: we listened to you because you are our mother, not because you are the owner of KC

S: but, why?

R: wait Madam, there is still more

S: what more is left? What more insult is left?

The three sighed

R: about KM

S: that too is in the name of these two??

R: no, it is in the name of Geet and NT

S: what? GEET

R: yes

S: but she is not more Maan's wife

R: still she is the owner of this house

S: she knows this

R: yes, I told her when she was leaving KM, she said these papers have no value for her, for her the home is where the heart is, and her heart is shattered and this house has blood marks all over the wall and floor.

S: other properties?? Wait only tell me is there anything in my name?

R: yes the outhouse

S: that small out of date house

R: yes.

S: and what about my income

R: you forgot you are 5% shareholder in KC

S: what is the status of Geet and NT?

R: let me brief, Maan and Dev both have 35% shares respectively; Geet and NT have 12.5% shares respectively and you have 5% shares.

S: means I am the least stakeholder in all this and all the time I thought..

R: madam, they are your children, then why are you saying so

S: (very very angry): you, you must be the one who would have suggested all this to my father in law, just get out of here

M: uncle, we will talk about this later

R: ok Maan beta, take care

He left, Maan asked NT to take rest and she also left.

M: Maa, why are you so worried? Your status is always the same, nothing changes

S: no, everything has changed

D: we already knew all this, the only change is that now you also know

S: you all cheated on me.

M: ok if you think so, we cannot help it, I'll just call uncle and ask him to have the shares of properties and business in my name be transferred to your name.

D: I too will transfer them

M: no, Dev you need not do this, who will take care of business then

S: (sarcastically): promises and promises

Maan left without saying another word ; Dev was very angry, he pulled Savitri

D: Maa, what have you done, you have proved that a step mother is always a bitch

S: you know

D: yes I know that bro is not my real brother

S (horrified): and Maan

D: why you think he always tolerates you, just because he never wants to make you feel that he knows the truth

S: but no one knows it, he was adopted

D: we know this, me and bro both, and time and again you have proved it

S: but

D: when he returned from boarding Daadi told him the truth, she told him that ho whis own mother fled with the driver leaving him just a month old; and how you came in his life; Papa loved his mother despite of her acts and never accepted you as his wife

S: DEV

D: she also told that at first you showered your love on him but as soon as I was born you started ill treating him, he was send to the boarding and papa never forgave you.

S: DEV!!!

D: he felt obliged and the knowledge of this made him obey you like a dog. He tried his best not to hurt you but he failed: I am ashamed of you

Slap!!! She slapped him

D: Mother he is not your step son, but you are his step mother. I can't even hate you.

Maan left KM as and when and went to Mr. Rai. He had the papers ready and signed them and send them to KM to be signed by Dev and Savitri.

He took a set of papers with him and left
