Chapter 4 meeting the devil

On the same night of the engagement party, when the vashisth family returned home. All the members left for their respective rooms for rest, as all of them were feeling exhausted after hosting the lavish party ...But some serious discussion was going on, in the living room between Triloknath, Aditya and anand.

"But dad why didnt you called me yesterday only I must talk with them, "Aditya asked.

" There is nothing to talk or worry about, take him as a guest at the wedding ."triloknath said in a calm tone.

" I still cannot believe that the chairman of sahay group. , I mean Kaul's are related to sahays. You know I always heard about him that he doesn't like to talk much, and he loves his family a lot. A crude businessman, from years his group of companies are on no. 1 position in Asia'"Anand stated in an excited tone.

"

. " But didn't you hear about another side of his personality, he has been dealing in arms and ammunition, after his father's death he took the chair of the underground mafia also .so anand its a very bad thing to have yourself in his wrong side. There are stories about his brutal way of killing and torturing cheaters ." 

" We dont need to think about him, as I already said that for us he is one of the guests from the groom's side. we just have to make proper arrangements for his stay and that's all. The Kauls requested me to arrange a different stay for ranvijay sahay, as he doesn't like to get social with his relatives. He doesn't like this wedding chaos so they want us to arrange a different stay for him, but not in the same hotel, which we arranged for the Kauls "

"It's the fine dad we can manage this, you know the new resort we opened in cottage style last year, we can arrange his stay there 

I mean if it is ok to you ."Anand suggested.

" Yes I mean, why not as he is arriving tomorrow, but, what time he will reach even the Kaul's doesn't know, they just want us to send the address of the place where he has to stay so that they can forward it to him "

"Okay, I will do the arrangements and give you the proper address with cottage no."Anand declared.

"Do we have to take care of his security too" Aditya inquired.

" You must be kidding Aditya don't you know who are we talking about haa, he moves around the world with his security " triloknath replied and after bidding good night they all left for their rooms.

In Aditya's room, vaidehi was sitting with a gloomy face, Aditya understood his wife's pain as when they got married arohi was in her teens. Vaidehi always treated her as her daughter, not as her sister-in-law. Arohi 's harsh words must have broke vaidehi's heart badly. Aditya hugged her, and vaidehi hugged him back sobbing badly.

"I didnt mean it, Ji, why is she behaving like this to me, do you think I did something wrong 'vaidehi asked him between her tears. Aditya knows that vaidehi didn't do anything wrong with aarohi but what about past deeds ....still he wants to console vaidehi for a peaceful wedding.

"I know vaidehi you were just worried about the guests and you dont want anyone to gossip about, as there is already gossip about her absence from Nainital and why she never returned not even in festivals ."

"But we have to be patient with her, we know na how much she has suffered .just deal with her patiently ok now sleep. as tomorrow more guests are arriving".

Aditya made vaidehi sleep in his arms but he was not at peace as arohi was already a sensitive issue for his family and now this arrival of sahay is not helping him.

Thinking about all these he doesn't know when sleep engulfed him. 

The next morning they all were busy in preparation, they kept one day gap between the engagement and from the following day the wedding functions will start.

Aarohi doesn't want to face her relatives so she silently walks out of her home after breakfast for roaming around Nainital. The kids tried to accompany her but she deny them as she doesn't know when will she return.

Anand sends her with the driver,aarohi didnt oppose as she doesn't want to drive herself. The driver was an old servant to vashisth. 

Aarohi told him to drive to the garden which is one of vashisth ' s properties. Aarohi loved to go there from a young age.

When she reached the garden she felt peace of mind, she started roaming inside the garden to see the different varieties of flowers.

Raghu her driver inform her in an excited tone "mam that is the new resort which is in cottage designs,anand sir has provided this cottage with all 7-star facilities "

" Hmm"

"Namaste arohi madam" an old couple greeted her.

Aarohi recalls them as the caretaker of the garden and maybe now the cottages also .she nodded her head. Arohi found that the man was shivering badly, so she asked 

"Are you ok baba "

"No madam he is suffering from fever "

the old lady answered.

" So you should take him to the hospital, what are you people doing here? "Arohi got worried for them.

"We will go madam first, I have to arrange these flowers in the vase in the cottage, as some special guest can arrive anytime now, they are special guests of Kaul's "

"Which cottage no ."

" Ji 3 mam "

"Ok raghu take them to the hospital asap, no need to tell this to your sirs "

"But mam how can I leave you alone "

"You are forgetting something I am born and brought up at this place only I can manage just leave "

Observing her attitude the driver and the old couple didnt dare to argue.

She took the flower bunch from the old lady's hand and started walking towards the cottage. It was winter in Nainital, she wrapped herself more in the shawl.

The cottage door was already opened so she went inside and easily found the empty flower vase on the table, she decorated the flowers in the vase.

Then she turn around to leave, suddenly she saw something unexpected there ., she was searching for this for years but her family told her that they...

It was her piano which is very dear to her and ....., she went near the piano and started touching the keys. Tears were betraying her, she doesn't know when she took a seat beside the piano and started playing the tune, a tune that he loved to hear.

As soon as she stopped playing the piano, she felt a presence behind her. She hurriedly stood up, and turn around to leave the cottage .she saw a tall man almost hovering over her, she tried to move aside to reach the door of the room. Suddenly that stranger grabbed her elbow and pushed her behind a nearby pillar, she got scared, "sorry I just come here to arrange fresh flowers, I don't want to disturb you .let me go please "

She remembered that the old lady was talking about some special guest of kauls, aarohi understood that this "Qutub Minar" must be that guest only.

( A famous tall historical tall monument in India )

If it has not been the matter of asawari's wedding then she must have kicked between his legs till now. All these thoughts were going into aarohi's mind, she was getting hurt by the hold of his hands on her wrists. Aarohi was trying hard to free her wrist from this macho ma s hold. She was so engrossed in these thoughts that she doesn't bother to look up to see the face of the stranger.

Suddenly a hand came near her face, his rough fingers touched the hairs that were coming on her face, disturbing his view and tugged them behind her ear ".

"Beautiful'

the only word she heard him whisper near her ear, she felt disgusted she pushed him with full force and make a run out of the cottage.

That man got stumbled by a sudden push before he can grab her again she ran out of the door, he wanted to run behind her and catch her in his arms.

But he got shocked by the girl's unexpected move, as to date nobody has the guts to refuse him like this, but he was not upset or angry about the beauty, on the contrary, he was impressed by her guts. 

In his 37 yrs of existence, he never saw a pure beauty like that girl. He was mesmerised by her eyes, her lips. The encounter was just for some minutes but got imprinted on his mind and soul.

The man was non-other than the devil himself MR. RANVIJAY SAHAY, the cold-hearted businessman nearing his forties. The most dangerous mafia boss of the country, the leader o mafia Gangs is keeping his name high but this was his hidden talent.

The facade he used was of a successful businessman,sahay group of companies which also he handled from his young age ., after his father's death. 

The sahay group of companies are rewarded to be the no. 1 company in Asia. Ranvijay is a cold-hearted man, his cruel ways of killing people are famous in the world. But for his family, he was a caring and overprotective man.

That day aarohi escaped from the clutches of the devil, but how long will she escape from Ranvijay as she stole his heart in only one meeting.
