"Suhani, stop. Listen to me first. Let me come with you." Ragini was yelling at her daughter who lost her basic sensibility. She ran towards the mansion's garage like a scared woman running to save her life. Without wasting a single moment she rushed towards the car and climbed up in the driver's seat. Her retreating figure and disappearance of the car brought another dreadful fear in Ragini's conscious mind. "Amir, Gadi nikalo" (Amir, bring the car)She called for her driver who was standing at a distance looking at them. In the morning itself Sudhir left in a hurry and now his daughter Suhani almost ran away. Amir, being the driver for the past ten years, had never seen such a chaotic situation in his master's house. He looked stressed and brought the car out for Ragini. "Madam, Kaha?" (Madam, where?)"Drive to City Hospital. As fast as you can." Ragini dabbed a tissue on her forehead to wipe those sweats. Neither Sudhir had cleared the situation nor did she get a chance to clarif
Madhban Mansion"Bhai, it wasn't a full-proof plan. Vinayak is digging up the matter.""Let him.""We could be in a mess again. Until it is confirmed as suicide, we would be still dangling in between truth and dare game.""I don't think so." Anirudh kept on replying as a robot to his brother's questions."Are you even paying attention bhai?" Adarsh wanted to confirm the matter as he found Anirudh aloof."Of course." He lifted his hand in a gesture to show his way of paying attention.Even though his body was rooted in Madhban Mansion, a small part of his brain was denied to leave cabin number 124 of City Hospital. Suhani was lying there when he saw her for the last time. The handprint was visible on her flushed cheeks due to his slap. But he was left with no other choice. That was the only way of calming her down as she had lost her mental stability. She was speaking absurd words and behaving like a maniac. It was expected from her during the situation but what she needed at that mome
It took not a whole lot of time for Suhani to identify the man standing in front of her. The one who was the root of every issue that had ever occurred in her peaceful life. The man who humiliated her and crashed her dignity almost. She would never be able to forget the same man who had dared to touch her without her consent."How long will you cry over your dead fiancé?" Anirudh came closer to Suhani while whispering his venomous words with a dark chuckle. She looked at him with pure rage in her eyes. "Don't you dare to bring his name in your filthy mouth?""Come on. You can think of my offer now. We can start from where we were left." He crossed all the boundaries of manners or formalities just by blurting out his unexpected words. Suhani couldn't believe how someone could stoop so low. "Slap."A loud sound echoed as Suhani's hand landed on his cheek for the second time. She slapped the same man once again who dared to step into their peaceful life. It was the same man because of
"That you would know once you visit the police station Mr. Madhban. Why so hurry?"Adarsh's gaping mouth made the situation more dramatic. His to and fro vision in between his brother and Suhani remained still with numerous questions. None of them opened their mouths afterward. Suhani and Anirudh kept their eyes glued with each other making it look like some romantic scene from a Bollywood movie. Only a song of "Arijit Singh" was supposed to be played to make it realistic. But deep inside both of them were shooting daggers at each other. A silent storm appeared around them which could be sensed by none but them only.Where she stood with her crossed hands, Anirudh stayed keeping his hands inside his pocket. "Really?" Finally, one word came out from Anirudh's mouth as he took some menacing steps towards Suhani who didn't move from her place. Rooted at her initial position she cleared her throat with a different smile on her face."Are you still in your dreams Mr. Madhban? I know it's
"You could have chosen some other lawyer, Suhani. Do you think it is a feasible solution?" Sudhir was sitting in his study when Suhani entered for some documents. Since she pulled a stance like dragging The Anirudh Madhban in the police station, the cold war had started between them."Dad, not again. I don't want to talk in this matter." She dropped her head down on the nearby bookshelf."Both of you have become insane." Sudhir let out a huge sigh. "What did you say?" Suhani snapped her head at her father when the word "both" reached her ears. Rohini wasn't involved in any such matter then how the word "both" came up. "I don't want to repeat Suhani. I received a call from Jayraaj telling me to settle down the matter. Zid chod do apni Suhani (Just drop your stubbornness Suhani)."Jayraaj is close to the Madhban family also thus the situation became complex for him. He couldn't support a single group blindly."Dad, what do you mean by "Both". What exactly did Rohini do? Tell me.""Do
"How deep is the wound?""Not much. She must be back in senses within no time.""Such an irritating situation. The girl would never learn."As two men were discussing the matter with a doctor, a girl lying on the bed started getting her senses back. She stirred in her sleep and tried to open her eyes that felt like a heavy boulder. Blinking twice she opened them and immediately got welcomed with a heavy throbbing pain at the back of her head. The ruffling sound of the bedsheets due to her abrupt movements grabbed the attention of those men presents inside the room. Even though she was not fully aware of the situation, the unfamiliar ceiling and surroundings slapped her perfectly for her last beloved mistake. Cursing herself inwardly Suhani tried to push herself up, holding the edge of the bed. As she finally lay her eyes to know her surroundings three pairs of eyes found their way to look at her. "No..." A slight whisper left her mouth when she realized she ended up again in the same
Suhani's consciousness started to return when some rebel sunbeams cascaded through her face sending some warmth. She groaned in slight pain and turned her body to the left to avoid waking up. Expecting another small nap she didn't open her eyes to look around. Her mind forgot to register yesterday's incident of being kidnapped. Those comfy mattresses and warm duvet greedily hugged her more to put her to sleep.A hand reached the curtain to clasp it together to block those uninvited sunbeams. He made himself comfortable on the couch facing her after being done with curtains. Her silky locks made their way on his grey bedsheet as her little snoring came to his ears. He sat there for like half an hour admiring her every single feature with enormous beautiful adjectives.Walking silently towards the bed he crouched down a little to put those rebellious strands of hair behind her ear. All of a sudden she felt a cold touch on her skin that sent alerts to her mind pulling her out of her slum
24 hours had passed and Suhani was still left inside the room, away from her family and loved ones. There was no communication between her parents or her sister. A small fear started engulfing her whenever she remembered her sister's voice. Rohini told her about her return journey to India which Suhani wanted to block madly. What if Anirudh got a grab of Rohini? Both of them are equally dark and everyone knows the same forces repel. Either Rohini would smash him or he would show her the door to hell. She was feeling scared since she had arrived. One thing was partially confirmed that Anirudh didn't appoint the man to hit her as he mentioned that he would have chosen another path. But even if he didn't appoint that man, he had a plan of abducting her already. So nowhere is he a saint who could be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize? After a certain time, she heard some little amount of yelling from downstairs. As her bedroom door was ajar she found those small arguments invading her territ
