AarYa SS Destination Unknown leads to stronger relationships Epilogue - Page 11

Chapter Seven

AarYa and their family moved the next day into the servants quarters of Yash's and Radha's employer; there were two bedrooms, one small washroom, a small kitchen, and living room but it was twice the size of Radha's former house. The kids were happy they got a bed to sleep in yes it was small but Yash placed the bed against the wall and the slept hugging each other, while Radha slept on the floor at their side in case Ansh fell he would land on a part of her cushion. There was some privacy here as compared to the slums no nosey neighbours only a couple of young maids who just could not stop drooling at Yash much to Aarti's annoyance and Radha's, and Yasha's amusement.

Aarti's tailoring business continued in the slums Radha's house became their workshop when Yash could spare the time he visited the workshop with the designs Aarti made checked on the finished product showed them how to do the sale, order books etc there was one one lady there who had attended school to the tenth grade so she took charge of the business in Aarti absence.

A week after moving Aarti had labour pains Yash rushed her to the hospital, the doctor was kind and allowed Yash to be present for the birth of Aayu , when he held his son in his arm for the first time Yash felt so much love for the baby he vowed right there to do so much better for his family to ensure that they never lack for anything, that they felt love, and protected by him. Aarti watched her husband with their son there were tears of joy in her eyes she knew how he felt but she wanted to hold her son too "Yashu baby please " she laugh " No let me hold him some more You had him inside you for nine months." Yash said with a teasing smile "And you my love cut his umbilical cord." Returned Aarti getting into the teasing game they were in the post labour ward which she shared with three other mothers. "Yash it will be visiting time soon and the family will want to see Aayu so let me feed him nah" "Okay let me help" said Yash he placed the baby into her lap sat behind her wrapped his arms around her so he can help support the baby too while Aarti fed him'

Mama he is so cute and tiny" said the kids in amassment looking and carefully touching their baby brother "can we call him Aayu now mama" asked Payal " and when can we take him home, he is ours right mama?" she innocently continued " Buddhu he is our baby brother of course he is ours, and mama will not leave him here in the hospital. Said Palak and Ansh together AarYa was always amused how these two sometimes behaved like twins and they are not even related by blood. Yash said "How many times do I have to tell you two stop calling your sister names." "Sorry papa, Sorry Payal we love you" they chorus

When the rest of the family arrived they could not stop looking and wanting to hold the little bundle of joy the newest member of the Scindhia family. Pankaj started once again "Yash come lets take your family back home to the SM that is your home Aayu needs to be brought up in his home with his extended loving family when maji see him she will be happy, she is sure to forgive you. Yash have you forgotten that her wish was for you to have a son." "I know bhayia but let face it she loves Akash he is her biological son, she wants to make up for all the years she lost with him, she feels guilty that

she give her love to me a stranger while her child was living in poverty with a stranger I received everything that rightfully belongs to her son, plus my presence there will be a constant reminder that bauji betrayed her

their wedding vows that he loves another woman. We all know how much Ishita hates Aarti and maji never fully accepted my Aarti, how she scorned heron many occasions, insulting both my Aarti and Ansh, tell me why should I put my family through that, why should I risk their lives for material things like AC or hot water showers/bath, or to show society that I live in a mansion. No Bhayia I will not return until maji accepts me and my family, until she realise that I am her son too, that my family and I genuinely loves and respect her, that relationships are not formed by force/ manipulation or guilt but by love, acceptance, and respect that a parent child relationship is not only blood/ DNA but from the heart that love is the greatest power god give human. No Pankaj bhayia I will not return to that place until maji says so." Yas explained with emphasise on G3 maji acceptance. SP and Radha heard their son's explaining to his brother they recognised the hurt and disappointment in his voice but there was nothing that they could do at this time to make G3 realise the error in her thinking, to make her realise that she is a pawn in Ishita's hands. Prateek said " Pankaj bhayia as long as Ishita lives there maji will never accept Yash and Aarti. Why can't you understand that Ishita is controlling both Akash, and maji. That woman is clever she wants to punish maji for her support of Akash on that night so she is poisoning her mind against us , separating us from her, constantly provoking her to insult Paridhi, and Vidhi. Anyhow this is a happy occasion lets not speak of that lady {ISHITA} anymore."

Flashback six day ago in SM

"Maji we want to return home it is difficult living at my sasurals they are constantly meddling in our lives. Paridhi is fed up of her mother trying to dictate our life. We miss Vidhi Bhabhi, Pankaj bhayia, and you all" said Prateek . Ishita whispered in G3's ear then G3 said " Do you really miss us or are you afraid of losing your share of this wealth?" she confidently said "I am sure those people put you up to this those outsiders that Aarti wants to return here in the lap of luxury so you are returning with the hope that you can butter me up into accepting them. That will never happen!" Pankaj heard his mother's reply and he said "Maji how can you say that this is chote your son you love him. They want to return home allow them this is their home too." "Really this is their home then why did they leave?? Why did he become a chef working in a restaurant?? Why go against the family and openly support those outsiders yes I know you have been spending time with those people." Said a furious G3 continuing "Is that how you show your love to me Akash is your brother not that man you should spend time with him, help him with the business not supporting that son of a nobody."

SP heard everything and he stormed in "G3 mind what you say that nobody whom you speak of is the woman I love have always loved, and that outsider is my son the rightful owner of all this wealth that you are so proud off and have no right to give away!!" "I am still your legally married wife and I am entitled to half your wealth" answered back G3 " Let me enlighten you firstly My father legally handed over all his shares in the company, and his property to Yash before he died. Secondly when yash turned eighteen everything all property, money etc were legally transferred to Yash I am only a paid employee a trustee to ensure that everything remains intact for Yash and his sons. I own only my clothes. If you want have a lawyer check out what I am saying so if you want half of my clothes go ahead and take it!!" he looked proudly at the stunned G3, Ishita, Akash, and Maya he continued "You don't want Yash, Aarti, and their children in their house they are good to respect you and follow your unreasonable demand, but Parateek and Paridhi bahu will return to live here and there is nothing anyone can do to prevent that."

Ishita was livid she had to come up with a plan to get Yash back here in this house and to get rid of Aarti and those brats!! She needed air she needed to be away from those people so she went to the back garden not realising that there are cameras there she was outraged she paced back and forth mumbling Aarti enjoy yourself you days are numbered give birth to that brat lets see how long your happiness will last and those three brats boarding school or some orphanage for them. I want my Yashu! OMG Yashu Your Ishita was violated by that disgusting man Akash with his stupid old hag of a mother help. I was saving myself for you and those dirty horrible people tricked me they will pay not only for hurting you and forcing you to leave you home and me but for also hurting your darling Ishita she tooked out her mobile and stared at the many different pictures of Yash that she had stored there kissing each and every one. The foolish lunatic did not realise two things first her antics were being recorded, and secondly a pair of eyes was looking at her from an upstairs balcony smiling at her and silently vowing to catch her in her own game, to punish this crazy woman and bring back the happiness of this family.

Present Day at the hospital

Yash refused the gifts for the baby however Aarti, and Radha managed to convinced him to accept these first set of gifts because they were brought with lots of love. Yash made it clear only these gifts nothing more will be accepted.

Radha welcomed Aarti and Aayu into their humble home the next day the kids were excited to have their mumma and baby brother home. Yash brought a baby's cot he had a cutie baby blanket and pillow with cushions at the sides the smallest teddy bear was in the cot Aarti wanted the baby to sleep with her but the bed was too small for Parents and baby so Yash improvised he brought a large cushion/ mattress to place on the ground . Aarti can sleep with the baby on the bed and when he fall asleep she can join him on the floor, also the kids wanted to sleep with their mumma and baby brother.

The following day instead of them taking Aayu to the temple the pundit came with SP, Radha and the two brothers with their wives.

Chapter eight

FLASHBACK one month ago on a lonely road leading out of Bhopal Yash was driving the truck belonging to the construction company that he worked for he and two other employees were on a delivery run with materials.

Yash saw a man being pushed out of a moving car, then it came to a stop the men jumped out they ran toward the man lying on the road, and the two men began beating the prone man. Yash noticed the parked car he recognised it as a Scindhia vehicle all Yash thought at that moment is his brother Akash might be in some kind of trouble he slammed the brakes making the truck jerk forward much to the surprise of his companion, he ran to the group and started beating the men moving them away from Akash , Yash arm were strong from the weeks of working as construction worker so he easily dealt them punches that broke jaw, nose, cracked ribs. Akash saw Yash he was never so happy to see his brother before he is here as his saviour, he tried to stand but fell down Yash caught him took him to the truck his companions assisted him to make Akash comfortable, Akash said "Bhayia please get the bag from the car it has the family's jewellery " Yash replied "no let the police handle that we need to get you to a doctor now." He had the company mobile which he used to call the police and an ambulance for the culprits.

First he took Akash to the first doctor they found Akash said "Thanks Yash bhayia for saving my life I am not worthy of your help after what I did to you , Aarti bhabhi, and the kids. I am such a fool I lost my ma because of greed, broke up your family because of greed, and my own stupidity of allowing others to influence me. You saw me and still helped me even after all the wrong things I did. You are indeed a gem of a person Thank You." Yash said" Akash relax let the doctor attend to you then we will go to the police station and you can make your official report." At the station he made his report naming his two friends as the assailant told about the money, and jewellery taken from the Scindhias how they forced him at gun point the argument in the car, the fight that followed. After they left the police station Yash accompanied him to the end of the street of his old home he looked at Akash until he entered the gates of the SM then he left.

When Yash arrived home he told Aarti about the incident they decided that they will not inform badi ma because if she knows she will immediately run to Akash side at the SM and G3 may not only insult her but at Ishita's encouragement get the security to physically hurt her.

Akash entered the mansion SP saw him and shook her head this man is always drunk so shameful look at him he can barely walk chi, and he looks like he was in a brawl probably about money or some cheap woman. Akash made it to his room thank god no one saw him he would of have to answer questions, Ishita, maji, and buaji were at some temple they will not be home until the next two days enough time to get the money and jewellery back into the safe, and I can do some snooping in Ishitas things. Pankaj bhayia, and Vidhi bhabhi were as usual avoiding him he guess they are in their room.

Akash took a short nap when he got up he did some pondering I followed Ishita, and her father advice because I wanted recognition form my family, and society. All I wanted for for ma and I to live comfortably with respect, ma did so much for me, she worked long had hours and many jobs to support us , ma made sure that I had enough food to eat, clothes, safe place to live ,a good education, and kept me healthy and happy with her love, and care. Now look what I have done I destroyed a family, lost the most important person in my life my ma how I miss her so much. If it the last thing I do I will make her proud of me again.

Akash knew where Ishita had her things stored he went through them found pictures of Yash from magazine, newspapers some were taken of her in parks functions clearly Ishita was stalking Yash.Ishita had journals filled of poems love letters written for Yash her stories delusions of them as a couple with kids were also written there, but the strangest thing was about fifty letters written in what Akash guess was her blood she worke how her proposal to the Scindhias for their second son hand in marriage was turned down on two separate occasions how much she resented Aaripta how happy she was when Aripta died then after years her proposal was again turned down in favour of a nobody a widow or so they thought with a child from her first marriage. Aarti will have to die Ishaita belives thst she is the one meant to be Yash's wife and mother of his children.

Akash felt repulsed disgusted by this woman who is now his wife who is using both G3 maji,and himself in her selfish game, she will be punished for her deeds from now on I will do everything in my power to catch and expose that evil witch. The happiness of this family will be restored.

Present Day SM

"Ishita bahu lets us prepare dinner tonight my Akash has been working so Hard in the business even if his father claims that that outsider owns it, where is he now nowhere, that thief is no longer involved in the business, and he will stay out as long as I am alive. You wait a watch how my Akash will make that business more profitable than that man SP love child. How dare he treat me with contempt I will show him he proudly says that her loves that low class woman and her son, he never valued Pankaj that boy tried his best but he was always second to Yash yet he never complained or said a bad word against him, Prateek hero worshiped Yash instead of his brother Pankaj, now he refused to spend time with his real brother my Akash well Prateek can go ahead and do his wife's and his Yash hero biddings for all I care.

My Akash, and Ishita will give me my dream won't you bahu" G3 was so happy and confident in her son's success Paridhi came intothe kitchen and said "mummyji let me also help" G3 response "You will dirty your dainty hands, what can you do?? Here clean the rice make sure you remove all the pebbles and straws, then you can wash the vegetables and dishes."

Ishita self talk I have to put up with this crap I hope those people do my job tomorrow I have had it with this old hag and her son. Tonight you are enjoying with your family tomorrow it is tears for you.

The following day at AarYa's home "kids hurry time for school remember you have to return by the school bus this evening okay." Said Yash giving all three kisses before sending them off with their Radha Dadiji.

"Aarti enjoy your day I have to drive Mr XY [ their employer] to the next village for a meeting I am not sure what time I will be back okay take care of yourself and our Aayu I love you so much" a quick kiss and he left in a hurry to the car their employer was already outside waiting.

After school the kids were about to enter the bus when they were approached by a lady from the slums that they knew and called auntie she was a good friend of Radha Dadiji and their mumma "Children you mom sent me to collect you your Dadiji fell and hurt her head she is sick and they want you home now see I came by rickshaw come lets hurry we have to meet them at the hospital." The innocent children followed their trusted Auntie she took them to a house told them that their mumma would meet them there and bring their dadiji the house was close to the hospital in farct you could see the hospital main building from this house so the kids belived her. Outside two men stood guard

A call was made to the home of their employer Radha took the call "We have your grandchildren RadhaJi you have to pay five billion rupees {sorry not familiar with the currency and their value] in order to get them backI am giving you two hours to arrange the money then I will contact you again. Don't contact the police or else it is bye,bye chilgren" Said the muffed unknown voice

Radha was so frightened she began to tremble her employer's wife saw and questioned the frightened woman when she got no response she shouted for Aarti to come Aarti came she was feeding Aayu so he was safe in her arms, The lady told aarti what happened Aarti shook her badimaji begging her to talk all the while praying that Yash is safe finally Radha said " The children some onr took them!" "What! Badimaji someone took my children! Who!" said a shocked Aarti starting to cry "Aarti let your ma speak" said the lady [ employer's wife] "A man called he said that he has our children and demand five billion rupees as ransom that we should not contact the police" Radha said in between her crying "Yash I have to tell him "Aarti said frantically. The lady said that she will call her husband, Radha said that SP should be told Aarti "Ma Yash will not take the money from him " Radha said " Now is not the time to be stubborn Aarti beta our children lives are at stake!" she proceed to call Sp.

"Yash I have to tell you something Important " said his employer the man was visible upset and sweating "What is it sir ??'" "Yash my wife called someone kidnapped your three children from the school ground after school they are demanding five billion rupees for their release. Don't worry son I will give you the money we all want the children safe return."

Yash went momentary blank he felt like his world was falling apart not again this is the third time my Anshu has been kidnapped and now they took my girls who would do this? Who has the most to gain ?" then his mind went to Ishita a murderous rage built inside of Yash He wanted to Kill that witch with his bear hands. Yash felt the push his employer had shoved him into the passenger's seat and went to the driver's side he drive them to their home at breakneck speed.

When they arrived SP and Pankaj were there they had the PI their friend with them he had information to share they had stealthy followed Ishita ever since she paid to have Aarti poisoned they found the home of the goons she hired and the lady they are all from the slums where Radha has her house, the police were informed but they will not let their presence be known to the kidnapper. While they wer speaking the inspector in charge call SP someone had called the Station with the location of the hide out where the kids we being hels it was a man, and an envelope was sent containg a flash drive with evidence of the planned kidnapping along with the attempt murder of Mrs Aarti Yash Scindhia. The inspector said that he has informed the commissioner of police.

After hearing all this Yash still wanted to go to SM and kill Ishita for hurting his family Aarti, SP, Pankaj, and Radha had to physically restrain Yash with the PI help they had a tough time to talk him out of it finally reality sunk in what would happen to his aarti and his kids if he is sent to jail for murder Ishita is not worth that sacrifice,

A call came on SP's Moblie it was from Akash "Bauji Don't hang up please listen to me I know what has happened I have Ishita locked in the washroom claiming that the door is Jam and we need a carpenter to open it send the police quickly. I also sent the address of the hide out to the police please save my nephew, and nieces' bauji. No one here knows what is going on and I don't know where Pankaj bhayai is."

SP was shocked but he informed the police about Ishita he told the family about the call from Akash. Yash and Aarti were greatful for his help, Radha felt proud he son did well all is not lost with him soon she will have the old Akash back, and G3 will know this boys and his good heart.

The kids came running to their parents waiting arms for the happy reunion "Mama Papa bad people took us that auntie lied and said dadiji was hurt and in the hospital and mamma was there with her, that she wanted us to be good and wait a that house close to the hospital." Said Palak then Payal " but Ansh Bhayia realise that that auntie was not telling us the truth and we tripped her and tied her up with our bag straps and hankie, then the police came and caught the two men outside., They tried to run away but the police caught them and threw then in the big police van.The police woman auntie brought us home."

At the Sm the police came Ramdulare opened the door they asked for Mrs Ishita Akash Scindhia G3 came out wanting to know what this was about they showed her the warrant for Ishita's arrest for kidnapping,and attempt murder of AarYas family G3 started to protest that this is a lie that those dirty low class people wanted to destroy her family that that dirty blood man is jealous of her son that is why they are falsely accusing her innocent good bahu. She jist continued to bad talk AarYa and Radha.

Akash took the officers to his room opened the door then the washroom door the officers read Ishita the warrant and her rights the female officers handcuffed her and took her out into the police van but there was a surprise waiting the media was present to capture her arrest they were informed by Akash to be present for this breaking news.
