Emotions
Abhay was inside his study alone . It was late at night . He was in deep thoughts . Victor's words were ringing in his head . That call , then kidnapping and those unwanted media people . All are inter connected .
His thought broke when Vishal entered inside .
' Chote papa ? You are here at this time . '
' Oo you old man . I didn't get sleep tonight . Can you make a coffee for me ? '
Abhay smiled and made two cups of coffee . He gave him the cup and started talking .
' So did you start working on that phone call's matter . Victor and Mili are doing fine . '
' Chote papa I need to talk to you . I am already working on it . '
' I knew it Abhi . I also think that phone call is related to that person about Victor said . '
Abhi nodded his head in yes , He sipped his coffee and said ' Yes Chote papa . I think I should go away from here for few days . I am missing my night shows . '
As soon as he completed both the men smirked . Abhay's eyes were dark and his smile was cruel .
' You mean you are going to pent house . '
' Yes Chote papa . '
He paused for few seconds and then continued ' Won't you ask me why did I go against my parents upbringings , your and Choti ma's upbringings ? I am ashamed for going against my morals . I am sorry . '
' Abhi we knew you have your reasons . But kidnapping a girl , manhandling her is against our morals . '
Abhay cut off him ' And here I kidnapped her , manhandled her , threatened her , married her forcefully . She lied to her parents about us . Her eyes were so painful I can't tell you . I felt she was disgusted by me . '
He paused and then said ' But I was insecure that day . I can't bear the pain of losing her . Trust me I felt that I heard the same voice . But after marriage Arin ( His PI ) said it was a fake one . So I didn't bother more as she was already with me. But now he said that he was misled that day . The call was done from a number which was out of the town only . Then after few days they tracked it and it was in Andamans . Now again it is dead . I can't lose her . I love her truly . '
His love is pure , was and will . But what he did was wrong .
Vishal hugged Abhay who has tears in his eyes . Vishal knew that in this whole world if Abhay is afraid of something then it is losing his loved ones . The pain he saw in the eyes of a 10 years old he can't forget .
20 years back Abhay was a so scared that it took them 5 years to make him normal . It effected his studies even . But Abhay family background helped in this regard though it was secret .
Vishal still remembers Abhay's 10 years old frame while his cloths had blood stains of his parents . His red eyes , trembling lips but still asking his parents to get up , hug him . And at last he fainted .
Vishal said ' It is already done . Be strong and win her heart . You should have done it before . Then you should have got married . She would have accepted your pure love . And don't forget you are a mafia who doesn't hurt any innocent but helps people . She would have accepted knowing your truth definitely . But now win her heart . Show her the real you . And I am sorry for that day . I raised my hands on you . Devi was right . You have your reasons . '
Vishal slapped him so hard that Abhay's lips were bleeding with a slap . He didn't stop until he was satisfied and for once Abhay didn't stop him . Even Devika left the place as can't see his son in pain but didn't stop him .
Abhay took his hands in his hands ' No Chote papa . Don't say sorry to your Abhi . You were sad that . You thought you failed raising me . It was my sin . I will win her heart . I hope Mama , Papa , Choti ma and You will forgive me . '
He sobbed like a kid .
Vishal patted his back ' They will forgive you when Mrinal will . We will also . '
Abhay truthfully said ' I will ask her forgiveness soon . I promise . '
After that they decided to go back . Abhi is going to stay in pent house for few days .
Before coming outside Vishal said ' I think we are near him . This time he will see our wrath . This time we will win . That backstabber Raichand just wait and watch . '
Abhay's eyes darkened in pure hatred ' He changed his name Chote papa that's why we are struggling for years . But this time it looks like he wants to come to us by his own . '
Vishal encouraged him' Well that is true . Let's the fun began . '
Abhay joked ' By the way you still slap hard . '
' Well that's true . By the way your brother - in - law Mridul also punches hard . Right ? '
Abhay nodded his head and both laughed .
' He does after all I kidnapped his sister and rest you know . '
They wished good night to each other . Before going inside his room Vishal said ' That day I was happy to see you with Mrinal . Coz my selfish mind was happy to see you getting married to your love . But her painful eyes made me more sad . Me and Devi are waiting for the day when Mrinal will accept you whole heartedly . Till then sleep alone and dream about your fairy . '
He winked and went inside . Abhay grinned like a fool and went to his room .
*******************
Devika said ' You will never change na Vishal . Don't tease him . '
' You are still awake . You shouldn't love . '
' But I can't sleep without you . '
' I know .' and Vishal pulled her on his chest and kissed her forehead . And she slept hugging him .
' I love you Devi . '
' I love you too . '
He chuckled hearing her reply while she was asleep . He then prayed for their happiness and mainly Abhi and Mrinal's happiness and dozed of .
*****************************
Mrinal couldn't believe her ears . Her sister - in - laws told her that Abhay used call them everyday since they got married .
Doesn't he do anything ?
He is a mafia king .
Then how he manages all this .
Ki dorkar ? Kichu na . Chere de Mira .
She was happy knowing that he has nice relation with her family , even with Mridul also . She is almost ready . Her sister - in - laws tease her very much nowadays .
She put on the earrings which Devika gave her and the anklets which belongs to her dead mother - in - law . Her college is off as the exams for others is still going on . She went to kitchen and started working with Devika . They made food together .
Vishal and Abhay were already there in the breakfast table . They were busy in talks . Well they don't talk about works or business when they are busy with families . Abhay looked up as he heard a familiar sound . The mind went back to his childhood .
It is mama's anklet's sound .
But how ?
Abhay's mind became restless . And then he noticed Mrinal coming from kitchen with Devika . And he kind of understood .
Did she wore it ?
Yes she did . That's why you could hear it .
She only wore it . Why not others ?
It was mama's favourite .
Does she also like anklets ?
Yes she likes it . And her earrings . It's Choti ma's . She is looking so beautiful .
She looks beautiful everyday you dumbo .
They started eating . Abhay was trying to look at her legs so that he could see the anklet just to confirm it . Vishal saw his restlessness and whispered ' Dear she looks pretty everyday in your eyes . I know . First have your food then complement her . You even forget to give her gift that day . '
Abhay remembered it and smiled thinking about the surprise . He prepared it already .
************************
Mrinal was shocked seeing Abhay eating Halwa like there is no tomorrow . Even Vishal also . She understood they like Halwa a lot . Specially Abhay .
As they came to the gate to see off Abhay and Vishal both men kissed their wife's forehead . Then Abhay also kissed Devika's forehead and Vishal kissed on Mrinal's forehead .
As Abhay kissed her forehead it reminded her exam days . She one day felt Abhay waking her up kissing her forehead . She felt bliss and solace with that .
Abhay whispered in her ears ' Did you like the anklets ? It is mama's favourite . '
Mrinal felt the love and sadness in his voice . She happily smiled and said ' I loved it . It's very beautiful . '
' You also look beautiful . '
' Umm thanks . '
' Did you like the earrings ? It's Choti ma's favourite . '
' Yes . It's also very pretty . Umm ..'
Abhay understood her unasked question ' Don't you dare to give back your gifts . Choti ma will not spare me . Their favourites are with their precious daughter . Take care of yourselves . '
Abhay knew that Devika will soon give his mother's jewelleries to Mrinal . He only replied ' She did what she felt Choti ma . And she did right . ' as Devika told him ' Abhi your beautiful wife made me promise to keep them with me . Just like you . You should ask her to keep it with her . She is the daughter - in - law of Singh Raizada . ' and whined .
Abhay kissed her mother's forehead ' She did right Choti ma . She would give it to Mama also . She is not here so you are the one . '
' You both are same .' and started caressing his head . He smiled and slept on her lap .
Abhay was waiting for the day when she will wear it . And the day came finally .
Abhay and Vishal said good bye to them and went for the office .
****************************************
Mrinal came back from balcony . She was busy with her Didun in phone . Unexpectedly she told her everything related to Abhay . Like he doesn't go inside the temple , take blessings from her dead parents in the morning as they are his only god . He loves to eat halwa and she even noticed him wearing that golden chain always .
Her grandmother was happy hearing all these . Later she came to know that last night Abhay asked them to come and meet Mrinal and spend sometimes with them . But they couldn't as Adi and Barsha's exams are going on .
Devika was watching movie inside the theatre of their mansion . She entered as she left due to the call . She saw Devika sleeping and the movie was paused from where she left . She smiled seeing Devika's sleeping face .
She is so nice . Even everyone is nice here . Except him .
She went and brought a blanket . She covered Devika with the blanket properly and adjusted the AC temperature . She didn't want to wake her up .
I will wake her up when everything will be done .
She went to kitchen and started working with others . She noticed all the workers are very loyal . She felt one thing after coming here that this family is different , totally different . They never treat those workers as servants . All of them are part of this house .
As the cooking was almost on Mrinal heard one of worker whispering to other one ' Umm we should inform Mrinal babiji that we need to send Vishal bhaiya and Abhay baba's food to the office . '
' Yes we should . She is new here and Choti bhabi is sleeping . '
Mrinal heard their talks and went towards them . They again consumed their work . Mrinal went to them and said ' Who takes food for them ? '
One of them said ' Asish Bhaiya goes to office . '
Mrinal ' Ok . Let's pack their food after we finish . Then I will ask him . '
They nodded and smiled .
Devika woke up and hurriedly went inside the kitchen . she saw Mrinal packing lunchbox with others . Suddenly an idea came and she smiled .
' Oo . I am sorry Mrinal . I slept as I was very tired . Thank you for preparing food . '
Mrinal smiled and said ' Don't thank me . I am also part of this family and I love to do this . Umm are you okay ? '
' Yes I am . Umm would you mind if I ask you something ? '
' No Choti ma . Please say na . '
' Would you mind to go with Ashish ? '
' No . Absolutely not . I would love to . '
' Actually I used to go with Ashish . As both of them forget everything when they are inside that stupid building called office . But for last few months I couldn't as I fall sick one day and both of them didn't let me to come to their office . You don't need to go everyday . I know you are busy . But for today if you . Just for today . You won't mind na ? '
Well that's true .
She panicked hearing it ' What happened to you ? You are fine na . Wait I will call doctor aunty . '
' No Mrinal I am fine . I fainted that day due to low BP . But I am fine now . I am just asking you to go so that you will also see the office and they will also eat properly . '
' Okk . I will . You go and take rest . And yes please eat before I come back . '
Devika nodded and went inside her bedroom .
