I stood frozen, my eyes fixed on uncle's tormented face as he recounted the events of that fateful night. His words cut through me like a knife, each syllable a fresh blow to my already shattered heart.
As uncle spoke of maa and Baba's tragic end, I felt my anger simmering just below the surface. My mind seethed with a toxic mix of grief and rage, my fists clenched at my sides as I struggled to contain my emotions.
How could uncle have stood by and done nothing? How could he have watched as my wife's parents met such a horrific end? The questions swirled in my mind like a maelstrom, each one fueling my anger and sense of betrayal.
But it is also true that he could not do anything, if he had done something then Durga and Dipali's lives would have been in danger.
I stormed into my room, slamming the door shut behind me. The sound of the door crashing against the frame was like a catalyst, unleashing a torrent of emotions that had been simmering just below the surface.
I felt like a wild animal, untamed and unbridled. My anger and frustration boiled over, threatening to consume me whole. I needed to release it, to unleash the fury that had been building up inside me.
I began to destroy everything in my path, smashing and shattering anything that dared to stand in my way. The sound of breaking glass and splintering wood was music to my ears, a symphony of destruction that echoed my own turbulent emotions.
"WHYYYYYYYYY!!!!!", I cannot see any end to the anger inside me. I cannot understand why I did that.
"WHY I KILLED HIM WITHOUT THINKING!!!!",
I was a force of nature, unstoppable and unrelenting. I tore through my room, leaving a trail of devastation in my wake. It was cathartic, a release of all the pent-up anger and frustration that had been building up inside me.
His voice was ringing inside me the day I was killing him Whatever he said that day is still ringing in my ears
Flashback.....
I stood over Abhi's battered form, my fists clenched and my eyes blazing with a fierce intensity. The desire for revenge had consumed me, driving me to unleash a maelstrom of fury upon the man who had destroyed my Swan's childhood
But as I gazed into his twisted face, I saw something that gave me pause. A glimmer of madness danced in his eyes, a spark of insanity that seemed to fuel his every word.
"You'll regret this," Abhi spat, his voice dripping with malice. "You'll regret the day you killed me When you find out the truth, you will find yourself screaming that why you killed me."
I laughed, a cold, mirthless sound. "You are wrong ? I will laugh whenever I remember that I killed you, You're nothing but a pathetic, sniveling coward."
Abhi's grin grew wider, his eyes glinting with a malevolent light. "We'll see about that," he whispered. "We'll see who's laughing when the truth finally comes out."
Flashback end......
I slumped against the wall, my mind replaying the events that had transpired. I couldn't shake off the feeling of regret that had been gnawing at me. Why had I killed Abhi? He deserved a fate far worse than death.
"You regret that day you killed me when you found out the truth"His words were pricking my ears like a pin
"HE WAS RIGHT I SHOULDN'T HAVE KILLED HIM SO EASILY",
My anger and frustration boiled over, and I lashed out at the nearest object, sending a vase crashing to the floor. The sound of shattering glass was music to my ears, a cathartic release of the emotions that had been building up inside me.
But as I stood there, my chest heaving with exertion, I felt a searing pain in my hand. I looked down to see that I had cut myself on a shard of glass. The blood flowed freely, a stark reminder of the destruction I had wrought.
I couldn't help but think that I had made a terrible mistake. Abhi's death had been too easy, too swift. He deserved to suffer, to rot in a prison cell for the rest of his life. But now, he was gone, and I was left to pick up the pieces.
I lay down on ground but my anger and frustration didn't goes. I want to destroy everything around me.
A lock came on my door and my eyes opened,"who", i asked trying hard to not shout,
"dhruv, me", vaani's voice hit my ear drum like a wave of relieve. at this time whatever I want it was her.
I immediately got up from my place and started walking quickly towards the door but then my eyes fell on the door where I was seeing my reflex. I cannot go in front of Vani in this condition, she will get scared. I am not feeling any less than a ghost at this time and I don't want her to see this condition of my room.
"what happened swan", i said trying to not let her know about my condition
"open the door First, then I will tell you why I came here, now open the door", she said stubbornly,
"vaani please whatever you want to say, say it from there, I will not come out and I will not open the door", my voice came out little serious and I took his name deliberately so that she knows that I am serious.
"okay, don't open the door, I have come here to tell you not to come to my room because mummy will stay with me and now I am also saying that I will not even talk to you," saying this she went for there as her voice has stopped coming,
What did she say, why won't I come to her room and mummy can also stay in some other room, then why is she with Vaani. I will not be able to sleep without her and the burning sensation was inside me not go away without her so how will I live without her.
I have to go to her quickly before that she locks the room door.I changed my clothes when I got the thud and applied medicine on the wound on my hand, I could not bandage it otherwise she would get worried and I went to her room after telling servant to fix my room.
I know that there is no camera in my room because my face is locked in my room and no one can enter without my permission,and the same security is there in the rest of the rooms as well except some guest rooms Due to this reason the camera could be easily installed in the vaani's room.
The servants who clean other rooms are in the presence of guards.So that no one can take anything from the room, it is not like that the servants present in our house are not trustworthy but papa does not take any risk if it is a matter of family.
Just like I had a flat on the first floor for vaani but there were anant standing folding his hand around his chest seemed like he was thinking something deeply.
I went near him and tapped his shoulder and he looked at me and inhaled deeply,"I want to talk to you, let's go to Papa's study, he is also waiting for us with uncle",
Waying this he started walking towards study room following by a confused dhruv but somewhere he knows what the metter they going to talk.
They entered Aarun's room where Aarun was standing near the glass wall while Nikhil was sitting on a chair. Today there was a look of sadness on Nikhil's face and he was not even looking at dhruv.
"what happened dad? why did you call us all here?", dhruv asked,
"Dhruv, we are caught in a problem. After the ritual was over, when I took isha to the room, she told me that whatever happened to her today was exactly like the first incident. isha had fallen like this before in her first pregnancy She was scared down but I explained to her that it was nothing like that. She must have been confused but now I am also feeling like that," anant said,
Dhruv got confused with this. How can this happen that two incidents are the same and the same person then he remembered that when isha had her first miscarriage At that time Niya's madness was at its peak.
"You are thinking right, Niya is away from us and we don't even know that she is there, her staying outside for long days can be harmful for us, now we will have to catch her as soon as possible,otherwise she has backed out today but what is the proof that niya will not try to harm anyone again she'll definitely do this",
Arun's words shocked both Anant and Nikhil that Niyya is free, meaning now there are more problems on vaani,her life is in danger. Nikhil cannot let this happen, now he cannot let anything happen to her nor anant.
"This means whatever happened with isha was done by Niya", anant muttered and looked at dhruv who was shocked as hell
Arun's words were no less than a shock to Dhruv, after all how did Aarun find out about Niya?While Dhruv had kept this matter secret, only Shivam and Varun know about this and Shivam will not go against Dhruv under any circumstances nor varun, then how did Aarun find out about this?
"Because I am your father and no matter how much you try, you cannot hide anything from me", aarun said like he read Dhruv's mind.But this statement of his raises another question in Dhruv'w mind, whether his father also knows about his marriage?
"But what will we do now? We don't know where she is, what she is doing, what her next plan is?, when will she attack us, how will we stop her?", nikhil said,The tension on his head became heavier.
You people don't need to worry about her, just take care of out family members,I will see what else needs to be done next",
Everyone agreed to his words, then there was a knock on their door and Aarun asked him to come in, when that man came in, Dhruv's eyes widened and jaw dropped as varun came with a file.
"what are you doing here", dhruv asked in shock but varun ignored him and came to aarun and gave him a file which he bought with himself while aarun was looking at dhruv with a smirk.
"dad you were keeping eyes on me", dhruv asked while glaring at varun who smile nurvasly,
I don't have any need to keep an eye on you, I have my own ways of finding out the truth", saying this he opened that file and bauth a chip which was placed inside the file,
"what is this", anant asked in confusion.On aarun's suggestion, Varun installed that chip on the projector and the information that was in it came to the fore.
First of all a photo of a girl came in front which was not of anyone else but was an old photo of Niya."Dad, I know how she looks, why are you showing her photo?", anant said while getting angry towards her.
I am not showing you her photo because I want, I'm doing this so that you all can observe her. I'm asking you to see her body properly", saying this he stopped speaking and told Varun to say what's he want and what's he knows.
Varun nodded and started speaking,"if you focus on her left arm there is a mark there which is from her birth and As Aarun sir told me that she used to love her that mark, so it is obvious that she will never remove that mark",
Everyone nodded on his and Anant spoke in the middle,"This means we just have to look for this mark, we will find her",His face was serious and even after listening to him Varun shook his head in no on this matter.
"Sir, I believe that she will never remove this mark, but this is possible that she has got her mark changed to some design or got a tattoo made on it because she is not so stupid that she would not think about it",
"So then what is the meaning of your information? We have again come back to the same place from where we started all this.", nikhil said angrily making aarun frowned,
No sir, those marks are of no use to us. I have already said the first point about that mark. Now it is the turn to another point. Dhruv sir, you must remember that the person who had approached Vaani mam in the party. we found a phone nearby and I let it be checked",
Dhruv started looking around but then he remembered that only his PA has the one who keeps eyes on him so he nodded his head in agreement.
"So when the details of that phone came to me, I noticed that calls always came on that phone from different numbers, but I noted the number on which he received a call for the first time. At the time when he was checking all this, that number was on, so I tracked it and saw it in this mansion at that time",
Nikhil and Anant were shocked by this matter but Dhruv and Aarun did not care about it because they knew that she would definitely come to their mansion.
"Why are you talking about all this in a roundabout way? Tell me if you have any such information which we can catch her", nikhil asked in frustration
"She is not a child that she will come to our reach so easily", aarun said shutting him down",
"But we will never be able to get it like this", anant said making them nodded but a sly smirk from on Aarun's face as he looked at varun.
"We can get rid of her in only one way", varun said,All of them were completely focused on him that what is the way by which we can get her.
