Chapter 16
Urmila had been ambitious from the start. She covered her greedy desire and nature with the word 'ambition'. Unfortunately, she had neither the looks nor the brain to achieve success. But she was cunning. She knew others weakness and manipulated it. The most important thing in the whole world for her was money, money, money. Nothing mattered other than that. When her brother Parag married Kokila Modi, she was pleased. The reason for it was -she had set her sight on Kokila's brother Chirag. She knew her weakness, she knew she did not have appealing beauty neither could she act the innocent maid. If ever she was blessed with something with was her cunning nature. She was cunning like a fox. She decided to get hitched to Chirag with hook or crook. There was one obstacle to all her plans.
Kokila Modi.
The lion of a woman saw through her acting. She protected her brother ferociously. When Urmiala realized that Chirag was in love with another girl, she changed her technique. She went to Kokila's father with a built up story. With teary eyes she fabricated a story about Chirag being drunk and misbehaving with her. The foolish old man believed her lie. Not even for once did he realize that Chirag never drank and even if drunk Urmila was not worth it. So he promised her that he would save her honor by marrying her to his son. When Kokila learnt all this she understood the game. Instead of shouting and fighting against her father, she did the safest thing. She accused Chirag of an unknown crime and threw him out.
All of Urimla's plans were shattered. More than that, before she could recover, Kokila married her of to Jeetendra Gupta. He was everything Urmila despised. He was a drunkard, miser and loved torturing Urmila. Her life was hell there. She was so angry that all she desired was to revenge Chirag and kokila. Her anger was so great that she could stoop to any level to achieve her wish. She was the first person to find Chirag, when he went to meet Kokila it was Urmila who cut the brake wires and caused his death. She also knew that once Gopi turned twenty one all the property of Chirag will be legally hers. She began to move the coins.
Rashi, Urmila's daughter was her mirror image. Though she was beautiful, her beauty was that of a cobra. She was clever and shrewd than her mother. She worshipped her mother's desire to gain money and helped her in many ways. She even tried to seduce Aham. He plainly insulted her and chucked her out of the Modi Mansion. So the mother-daughter combined to seek revenge of everyone. First, the robbed Jithu Bhai of his last penny next kidnapped Gopi and tortured her to sign the document. When they realized that Gopi will not sign they bluntly decided to sell her for a huge amount. When they were about to reach heaven, everything collapsed. Gopi escaped. They could not find her.
On that particular day, Rashi got a sweet call from Aham, to bring her mother to Modi Mansion, to finalize their ristha. He told her that from the day he chastised her; he could not sleep, eat or rest in peace. He could not forget her. So he wants to meet her. Without knowing it to be a trap the mother-daughter duo come to Modi Mansion and entered the guest room.
Urimal and Rashi have suffered many disappointment and setbacks in their desire to gain wealth. But nothing prepared them for this shock. The girl Gopi who had escaped them, was there in the room and Aham was like a vicious lion ready to spring on it prey. His eyes were red with anger.
The moment Aham saw Gopi's painting he realized the whole plan. So he had called Rashi in his sweetest voice and asked her to come. When he faced them all he wanted to was snatch a knife and strike them. But it will not give them any pain. He wanted them to answer for each drop of blood Gopi had shed. He slapped them out of the room. Then he drew the whip which was used for decoration and began to beat them. Kokila watched all these. She had glimpsed who the culprits are. So she patiently waited till Aham calmed down. She finally came between Aham and urmila, Rashi. The two were bleeding and bruised just like Aham had found Gopi.
The moment Urmila saw Kokila she began to begging: bhabi muje bajavo? (Save me). Kokila looked at Aham and said: stop it Aham. Do you want to kill them? Better hand them to the police. Just then Lakshmanji intervened and said: no Kokila I don't want to involve the police because it will tarnish Gopi's name. But I also don't want to let them go without punishment.
Aham turned towards him and said: uncle, don't worry, I have the perfect punishment for them. And I have already sent for the punisher. See there he is.
