Time for the face-off!!!
Chapter
65
Shifting nervously on the chair Phool kept on looking
at the screen in front of her sweating
bullets while Ajabde sat comfortably opposite her with the video playing on the projector
Phool: You are lying she stuttered that's not me in
those clips
Ajabde: I assure you Phool that it is 100%you I mean I
can tell that just by looking at those horrendous heels that you are wearing. I
know those heels because once you faked a sprain in order to get my husband's
attention and those heels were taken off in front of me - remember that day
Phool
Phool swallowed a lump down her throat while Ajabde
continued
This is what's going to happen you will tell me
everything and I mean everything you know about Uday Singh and his plans for my
family including this very company that not only gave you a job but also the
money to lead the life that you are leading
Phool: I don't know a thing I swear
Ajabde: Phool I don't have the patience to deal with
you to be honest so let's get it straight - you tell me what I want and then I
can help you with the HR who at this precise moment are watching this very same
video of you leaking out confidential information to outsiders and let's not
forget that I'm pregnant which means I can change my mind in a flip
Phool: I'm not trying to be smart here Mrs Songara - I
really don't know a thing except that I gave all the info to Gauhar my friend
who happens to be in a live in relationship with Uday Singh. I met her
regularly until a few weeks back and now her cell is also going out of network
area
That's because she's been hospitalised Pratap said
while he entered the conference room looking all grim and his eyes held a spark
of fury which Ajabde recognised
Phool pleaded to him: I assure you that everything I did
was for Gauhar because she really wanted to get her negatives back from Uday
Singh Pratap
Ajabde: It's Mr Songara she snapped
Pratap took his place beside his wife holding her hand
in order to calm the sleeping volcano in her
Pratap: Negatives?
Phool: Gauhar had attended this really crazy party long
back and tried some drugs there which led her to do a lot of stuff she didn't
want and remember until Uday Singh sent her a text of one of the nude images he
had of hers and since then she had to live with him and do everything as he
said if she didn't then he planned on releasing those images and videos on the
net. I found out about it one night after she had received a beating at his
hands for not making his son go to bed. Then I decided to help her out. We had
everything ready I was supposed to hand over some files to her which she
intended on placing a virus so that when Uday Singh tried opening it he could
get trapped by a virus that would completely destroy his system by then we
would have taken the toddler and emergency cash and left this place forever
Ajabde: You do realise that destroying that system
meant destroying all evidence
Phool: From what Gauhar told me Uday Singh has a
special in-built safe where he keeps everything - all valuables and trophies
Ajabde: Trophies?
Pratap: Reminders of all the people he terrorised. They
are valuable to him because they feed his egoistical self of his so called
victories (as he speaks he breaks a pencil in his hand as rushes of his past
come to the forefront of his mind)
Ajabde turns her glacial eyes towards Phool ordering
her to leave them alone as Phool leaves Ajabde goes to her husband who was
standing with his back towards her. She turned him around only to see the pain
he carried in him
Ajabde: Pratap
Pratap: How could he do that Ajabde - we were supposed
to be a family - he not only failed as a husband and a father but gave me scars
that will haunt me for the rest of my life- his anger coming out in full force
Pratap started throwing things across the room - all decorative pieces met
their demise from vases to paintings even the intercom did not survive
Ajabde allowed her husband to vent it all out but as he
fell down on his knees and she saw the blood flowing from his hand she couldn't
stop herself
Ajabde: Pratap you're hurt she said tears welling up in
her eyes as she guided him to the adjoined washroom where she proceeded to
clean his cuts. As she silently did her work Pratap kept looking at her and the
baby she carried
Ajabde: it's going to burn a little (she dipped the
cotton in antiseptic and cleaned his wound making him wince so she gently
caressed his face)
Pratap held her hand making her look at him: I promise
you Ajabde that I will be a good husband and a damn good father to our baby. I
would never hurt you or our child. I'll love you and take care of you. Give you
the world and everything it has to offer - I will never be like that monster
Ajabde just hugged her
husband tight and kissed him pouring all her love into it showing him her love
and what she felt about him when the baby decided to let its presence known to
the expecting parents by kicking making them both look down and smile
