Chapter 8. Cares and Helps.
"What matters most is how well you walk through the fire."
Shivaay Singh Oberoi.
I got freshened up and came outside wearing my favourite black kurta pyjama. I called Ranvijay.
"Yes sir.", He said as he picked up the call.
"It's time to execute the next step.", I told him.
"Sure sir.", came the reply.
"Keep texting me the progress.", I told him and cut the phone.
A satisfied smile was playing on my lips but soon OmRu came into my mind and sighed.
If I will be able to make them understand, everything will be fine.
I was about to get out of the room to have a word with Mr. Desai but my brothers entered and I tried to give them a natural smile while they kept boring their cold faces.
It's not going to be easy.
"Kahan ja rha tha tu?", Om asked which was almost like investigating.
"Kahan nhi kya pucho. Kar kya rahe ho aap bhaiyya?", Rudra burst open.
"Guys. Me jo kar rha hun.. Sahi kar rha hun.. Am just helping them out.. Can't you see?", I replied.
"It's not helping Shivaay.. Ise blackmailing kehte hai..", Om said raising his voice a bit.
"Bhaiyya sorry.. But mene bhi apse yeh expect nhi kiya tha.. Kya mooh dikhaunga ab me Bhavya ko ?", Rudra said getting irritated.
I sighed, "Listen I know yeh ekdum se horha hai isliye you guys are not able to digest it.. But mene jo kiya hai bahut soch samajhke kiya hai.."
"Kya sochke kiya tune? That's what we are asking Shivaay.", Om was loosing his patience, "How can you emotionally drive someone to get married to you?"
"There is no place for emotions in Royalty Om. Me jo kar rha hun vo hum dono families keliye sahi hai. That's it.", I defended.
"You said you wanna marry her.", Om reminded.
"When did I deny?", I replied.
"Yeh aapko Anika di ko batana chahiye tha.. Aapko unhe propose karna tha.. Deal nhi rakhni thi unke saamne bhaiyya.", Rudra pointed out.
"You propose when you love someone.. I don't love her. She is just ideal to be called as my wife and for my family's reputation. That's it.", I declared.
"Wow.", Om exclaimed, "I should have known ki Shivaay Singh Oberoi ke paas koi aisa hi reason hoga shaadi karne ka..", He said sarcastically.
"But bhaiyya how can you force her?", Rudra asked.
"Am not forcing anyone.", I defended myself, "I have just put up a deal. If she agrees, Ameerkot will help Raigarh and Anika will marry me otherwise not. It's simple."
"Tune shaadi ko deal bnadia Shivaay and you are so convenient about it. I can't believe it.", Om remarked.
"It's your perception Om.", I replied helplessly.
"I don't know about that bhaiyya.. Par yeh sahi nhi hua.. Aapko yeh nhi karna chahiye tha.", Rudra said and walked off from the room.

Shivaay sighed as Rudra left. I could first time see a tinge of guilt on his face since we arrived at Maheshwari's Mansion offcource how could he see his little brother upset?
"Dekh Shivaay.. Tujhe yeh sab karne se phele hume ekbaar zarur btana chahiye tha.. Yeh galat tha.. We would have discussed over it., I spoke keeping my hand on his shoulder. He nodded and started looking in another direction.
"Dekh abhi bhi kuch nhi bigda hai.. Tu Anika se baat kar aur is baar zara tameez se.. Sab handle hojayega.. Am there.., I instructed and he nodded too obediently but I don't know why it didn't seem genuine to me.
Knowing your brother too much is also an headache.
"Fine I will look into it abhi phele bahar chale? I just got a message from Mr. Desai., He told me and I nodded observing him.
Why he is so stubborn?
We came outside in the hall where Mr. Desai was waiting for us.
"Rudra thodi dair bahar thehelne gaya hai.. I think he was feeling suffocating inside.. Mene bola let me call a doctor but he denied., Mr. Desai informed us. We brothers looked at each other and acknowledged the reason behind it. It was Bhavya. We know how close he is to her and today his friendship has come to a stake because of his dearest brother. I sighed, "Its okay Mr. Desai. He just need some fresh air. He will be fine.
"Cool., he said and we were served with some snacks as we started discussing about the deal. My mind was mostly in the thoughts of Maheshwaris especially Gauri and her protective nature.
"But Shivaay us land pe ek tribe ki dehshat hai.. Vo log adivaasi hai and they are very protective about their place. Aise me wahan construction ka koi bhi kaam hona its next to impossible., Mr. Desai told us.
"Jo insaan jitna protective hota hai use khud utni hi protection ki zarurat hoti hai.. Vo andar se utne hi zyada vulnerable hote hai.., I said still lost in thoughts of Gauri.
"Huh?, exclaimed Shivaay.
"I mean they themselves are very vulnerable.. They wanna protect that land because they feel safe there.. Agar hume unhe yakeen dila de that we will rehabilate them and that would be equally safe place toh we can go on with our project., I somehow handled the situation and we were done with our discussion.
After some time we all i.e., Desai family and we three brothers were sitting at the dining table waiting for dinner. Rudra was better but still upset. I think he still hasn't managed to have a word with Bhavya. I felt bad for him. I hope everything settles between both of them soon.
The dinner arrived and we started having it amidst political talks and some gossips. Suddenly Mr. Desai got an emergency phone call for which he excused himself. He came back looking quite tensed.
"What happen Mr. Desai? I hope everything's fine., Shivaay asked.
"There's a bad news. There's a dangerous mob protest happening at Raigarh against the Royal Family. They are in danger. Situation itni critical hogyi that they have to move inside their secret house., Mr. Desai informed us and we were shocked to the core. We brothers stood up ready to take some action.
"We have to go there., I said sensing the urgency.
Shivaay nodded thoughtfully, "Yeah. Mr. Desai we need your help.

Rudra Singh Oberoi
I heard that life is a roller coaster ride but I didn't know it was this true. At first, Shivaay bhaiyya blasted a bomb at Raigarh, then when we relaxed a bit and were thinking to figure things out another bomb has blasted.
Bhaiyya has informed Anika Bhabhi that we are coming to them with help. I was just constantly praying that Bhavya and her family should be fine. Bhavya already had so much stress and now this.
God please give her strength to face this.
Bhaiyya was sitting in front with the driver making calls to be able to bring more help from nearby estates if possible. O was lost in some thoughts with stress lines on his forehead and I was eating my nails in anxiety.
Hope this night ends soon with a positive note.
We were going towards our destination when Shivaay Bhaiyya got a call from Raigarh. He immediately picked up. It was Anika Bhabhi. Our breaths got hitched.
Everything is fine there. Everything is fine there., I kept chanting in my head.
"Han Anika bolo.., Bhaiyya's tone too was filled with desperation.
"What?!!, Shivaay Bhaiyya reacted.
"Kya hua bhaiyya? Sab thik toh hai na wahan?, I asked.
"Par aise kese? Tumne dhang se dhunda toh na?, he asked Anika Bhabhi.
"We have almost reached near your mansion.. Hum mob se alag direction me aarhe the.., Bhaiyya informed her.
"Fine. Me aarha hun. Don't worry., He assured her.
"Shivaay kuch bolega bhi? Hua kya hai?, This time it was O.
"Gauri mansion aur secret house kahin nhi hai.. Shayad wo akele hi nikal gyi hai mob ko control karne.. Anika is worried for her protection.. Isliye usne call kiya ki agar wo raste me kahin mile toh hum use le aye.., Shivaay informed.
"What?!! Yeh ladki apna dimag kahan chodke ayi hai?, O exclaimed.
"Yeh bhabhi ki behna toh kuch zyada hi dabang nikli.., I commented.
While Shivaay was asking one of the army officer to go with some of his men to search for Gauri, me and O saw a car racing towards the opposite direction of ours.
"Yeh toh Gauri haii., O exclaimed observing the lady inside that car.
"I think you are right Om., Shivaay Bhaiyya too agreed.
"Don't worry Sir.. Me abhi jata hun unke peeche.., The officer said.
"Wait a minute.. Me bhi chalta hun sath.. , O said coming out of the car.
"But Om iski koi zarurat nhi hai.., Shivaay Bhaiyya said.
"Tujhe lagta hai Gauri sirf inke kehne pe vapis aajayegi? One of us have to go after her aur teri philhaal Anika ko zyada zarurat hai.., O explained.
"But wahan bahut danger hai Om!, Shivaay bhaiyya explained.
"Danger abhi har jagah hai Shivaay.. Don't waste time.. Tu Maheshwaris ke paas pahunch.. Me Gauri ko leke ata hun!, O told and hurriedly got into another car with some army men.
"Om dhyan rakhio apna!, Shivaay bhaiyya shouted and we brothers part our ways.
