CHAPTER 31
Mrityunjay's eyes are closed, and he continues to beat himself with his belt. His hands are tired, so he grabs his knees and starts taking deep breaths while gasping badly. All his men are looking toward him. He looks at his men, who get terrified when they see him like this. But a man knows what Mrityunjay's eyes are ordering him, and he can't disobey him.
That man comes to Mrityunjay without saying anything. Mrityunjay gives him his belt and sits in front of him. The man starts hitting him with the belt on Mrityunjay's back in exactly the same manner as Mrityunjay was beating himself.
Mrityunjay's eyes are still closed. Those loud noises are still not leaving him at all. It is still buzzing loudly in his ear in the same way as it always resonates; he wants those voices to be lost somewhere in the sound of this whip, but it never happens. He wants to scream very loudly, but long ago, his screams were suppressed.
Just then, Ayaan comes into the room and sees the scene in front of him, which shakes him to the core. His bleeding back is terrifying him, and he grabs the belt. As soon as the belt stops hitting his back. Mrityunjay looks back, but this time Ayaan does not bend his eyes at all, and he tells him to look continuously into his eyes.
"The thing that bothered you for so many years is going to end in two days. You wanted to make Jagdish feel your pain. He will feel after 2 days what you have felt, so why are you bothering yourself like this? ...."
Ayaan turns around and looks at everyone. They all immediately leave there, one by one. Ayaan helps Mrityunjay get up from the ground, then makes him sit in front of him and starts applying ointment to his injured back.
"Sir, why are you doing this? Jagdish will pay for everything."
"He ruins everything in a blink, and he is happy with his family."
"I said he would pay for everything the day after tomorrow."
"No mistake, Ayaan... His daughter must be far away from him. He should yearn for his daughter. I want to see his every yearning... I want to laugh the way he laughed."
"Sure sir…."
Ayaan neither wants to kidnap this girl nor does he want to let this girl face any trouble ahead, but he is forced because he does not know how long he has seen Moksh suffering like this.
Mrityunjay lies upside down and starts looking continuously at a photo. He keeps looking at that photo until his eyes automatically close from sleep.
AUTHOR'S POV
In the garden, Jagdish is playing with Mayil in exactly the same way as two small children are playing with each other. Then Shweta brings Mayil's milk and Jagdish's coffee there. But both of them held her and started roaming around her, but they didn't stop their play.
"What are you doing?.... Stop you, idiots."
"Mahi, you can't catch me today."
"I will, papa.... I have been the fastest runner in my school, so today I will catch you no matter how long I have to run after you?."
In between the two is Shweta, who is unable to find a solution as both are running around her.
"Are you guys stopping it?"
But both of them are too engrossed in their fun. Shweta's words are not having any effect on them. Both of them are being played very well. Then they see Mohan in front of them. Shweta smiles, looks at her father, and immediately gestures to Jagdish.
Jagdish has always treated Mohan as his father. So as soon as he sees Mohan in front, he starts running toward him to touch his feet. But Mayil climbs on his back and shouts loudly.
"Gotcha. You are out."
"Hey, this is cheating... I am on time out."
"No, you didn't say it earlier... You are out."
They both start fighting like kids and forget everyone. Mayil is still a small kid for Jagdish. He quickly feeds her milk, and she touches her grandfather's feet and leaves because she is not fond of him. He is a very irritating person to her; Sweta chases her and says,.
"Mahi, at least sit with him for a while."
"Mom, I have to go to the market to get the dress for tomorrow. I have a program with all my friends, and you know very well that he does not like me to be around him, and I also don't want him to be around me. If we both do not like each other, then it would be better if we did not force each other forcibly. Bye, mom, and I will come back very soon."
Shweta knows that both of them do not like each other at all, and the reason for this is also very clear in front of her. But she always wants her daughter to get the love of her father, and her father wants her to get the company of her only granddaughter.
IN THE MALL
Mayil selects some dresses and starts checking them, and then after checking two of them, she checks them by going to the dressing room.
She clicks a few selfies and again changes the dress and again clicks selfies, then sits quietly on the sofa there and starts checking herself to see which dress she looks better in. Then, when she is sure that this dress looks better on her, she immediately selects that dress.
After selecting her dress, she gets fully engaged with her friends in selecting their dress. She is so busy that she has no idea that suddenly someone has changed her packet.
All the girls are very happy after their shopping. After going to a cafe nearby, they drink coffee and start discussing their shopping. Only then does one of their friends show her clothes and start telling her.
"The color of my and your dresses is exactly the same, isn't it? ..."
Mayil watches her dress very well, as she is not used to wearing common clothes at all. She always has a habit of wearing some trendy clothes, so if she doesn't like to match clothes with her friend, then she immediately tells her friend.
"No, mine is lighter than yours and very different."
"No, it's the same color."
"I am telling you the colors are the same.
"No, look, check it yourself."
She extends her packet to her friend so that she can check the dresses because she doesn't like to drag these frivolous things too much. Her friend immediately takes the packet and takes out the box of clothes from it.
All the friends also want to see how much their dresses match, and Mayil is not interested in this thing at all. That's why she puts all her attention into her coffee. But the reason for that is not this dress, but today she is suddenly feeling as if someone is watching her again, like earlier.
She starts running her eyes all around, but she doesn't see anyone there. She turns her eyes and looks at her friends, who are looking at her face. Seeing their faces like this, she looks at her dress, which stuns her.
There is no dress in the box, but only pieces of paper. She immediately pulls the box towards her and starts seeing it well, but there is nothing in the box except the rags of paper.
"Where the hell is my dress gone?"
Her friends are also very surprised by this because she bought the dress in front of them, but that dress is no longer in that box.
"What is happening here? I think that sales girl has done something... I should go and meet her again."
They immediately turn around and go to that shop, and Mayil, getting angry, shows the box to that salesgirl and tells her.
"What the hell is it?"
"Mam, I don't understand what you are saying."
"I just bought a dress a while back. You replaced that dress with these pieces of paper, hiding it from my eyes. I'll get you fired from your job."
"What are you saying, mam?. I have been working in this mall for 5 years, and I have never done anything like this. There are cameras all around here. If you have the slightest doubt, I will call the monitor room. You go and check everything there. I have never done anything like this, and I am sure you will not get anything like this."
Mayil is in a mood to fight with the salesgirls, but her friend stops her midway and tells her.
"Of course, we have to see the CCTV footage because we don't believe you at all. Once your truth comes out, after that, you will have to leave the job."
All the girls go to the monitor room, where they start watching all the footage. The girl comfortably packs the dress, puts it in the box, and gives it to Mayil, smiling. Mayil is getting very surprised, she quickly says.
"Sir, you checked it well. My dress got stolen from here. That's why that thief will also be around somewhere. You check the CCTV footage thoroughly."
The staff there does not want to be accused of anything. So all of them obey her and start showing her all the footage. Whatever time they spend there, she does not see the replacement of the dress or box anywhere. So finally, the mall owner tells them.
"Although you all appear to be a good family, you will engage in so many petty deeds... What did you guys think? By hiding the dress, you will keep it somewhere else, and by doing such an act, you will take another dress from here. I feel ashamed of people like you who are doing such things. I can even put you guys in jail for defaming my staff. But we worship our customers... Get lost from here."
Mayil did not expect any such thing. She starts looking around her. Everyone is looking at her as a thief, but she is unable to defend herself because nothing is in her favor. She immediately runs out of there. Her friends also run after her. But she doesn't stop there at all. The person sitting outside in the car starts smiling after seeing her crying.
Ayaan immediately asks him, seeing the smile on his face.
"Sir …. From when you start doing these low acts,
"Humiliation…. This humiliation shows them their actual place, and if she hurts, Jagdish will also feel pain. Even if it is a small act not up to my level, it will definitely cause them pain. So it is definitely relaxing for me."
He smiles and closes his eyes after resting his head on the headrest. Ayaan looked at his face, which was actually very relaxed.
