CHAPTER 98
"I hate you, Mr. Mohan... Did you listen to me?"
Mohan is shocked. He never thought that he would hear anything like this. That too, from whom he could never have expected such a word. He felt as if his breathing would stop in a moment. He gets up from his seat and moves towards Jagdish with his weary steps. Before anyone can say anything, the sound of the bullet is echoed all around. Everyone was shocked and looked to the front and saw Mohan on the floor.
On hearing the sound of the bullet, Mrityunjay immediately came out. Mayil is still in his arms, as he did not leave her even for a moment. His wife needs him the most in any situation. Mohan falls to the ground, holding his shoulder, when another bullet hits his chest. Jagdish tries to come near him, but someone's loud voice stops him.
"Don't try to save this man at all, because so many lives have been ruined because of him. How many people have lost their lives unnecessarily, and this man is not fit to be alive?
"Ahhhh..."
His painful scream echoed everywhere. The second bullet went through his chest. His face has turned red from suffering; he is in agony. Everyone's eyes are on the person who fired the bullet; even Mohan hardly starts looking at that person, and he wonders very much why this person would shoot at him. She comes and sits in front of Mohan and tells him.
"I am Shivam's mother."
Mohan's eyes widen as he listens to Geeta. He looks to Jagdish for help, but Jagdish is not ready to move from his place even an inch. Mrityunjay comes there quietly and makes Mayil lie on the sofa. In another room where Sunaina was listening silently to everyone with tears in her eyes about how a person destroys everything in his sick obsession and considers it love, she also came out in front of Mohan. He was already in excruciating pain, but when he saw her alive at the time, it seemed as though his suffering increased.
Ayaan and the police were already there and had heard and recorded everything. It was Mrityunjay's plan that, at the time Mohan came here, Geeta would also be present here with the police. What had happened to her son?
Geeta was shocked as soon as she learned how those sick, mentally ill people brutally killed her son. She wanted to kill this man at the same time, but the police and Ayaan were standing by her side, and she had nothing with her. She was unable to do anything, and after knowing everything, she suddenly lost her cool and immediately knocked out the police with a hard push while snatching the gun and opening fire on Mohan.
All this happened so quickly that no one got a chance to stop the Geeta. Jagdish is now looking only at Geeta, and Mohan is in agony on the ground, near his feet. Mohan's eyes are on Jagdish, but Jagdish does not want to turn back and look at Mohan.
The police immediately pick up Mohan from the floor and start taking him away. Mohan wants to call Jagdish, but words cannot come out of his mouth because of pain, and Jagdish did not even consider it necessary to see him leave even once.
Half of the policemen are present there because Geeta has deliberately fired at Mohan with a fully conscious mind. So they will arrest her from there and take her away from their custody. But they understood the fragility of the situation very well, so they stood silently.
Geeta's eyes are on Mayil lying on the sofa, the last sign of her son, whom she had been hating for a long time. She walks towards her with very tired steps and sits on the ground beside her. Looking at her face lovingly, many times she caresses her head with love, and tears start flowing from her eyes continuously. She says it softly.
"Shivam… "
Geeta knew for a long time that something untoward had happened to her son, but still, there was a small hope in her heart that maybe her guess was wrong and Shivam might be alive even today. She wanted to accept Jagdish's words that her son ran away after embezzling money, so at least there is hope in her heart that he is alive, but that hope would be broken in this way, as she had not thought in her nightmare.
His son was buried alive. She is tormented, thinking that if Shivam had come to his senses just for a moment, then how much would he have been tormented? She was very happy to see Mohan in agony. She was still alive in the hope that one day she would get some good news about her son, but today her hopes are completely broken.
And now she is only looking at her granddaughter, whom she has only hated, and she does not know how she will face her granddaughter now. She kisses her forehead, and without turning to anyone, she says,.
"I pushed Sweta down the stairs."
Jagdish had already realized that Geeta had done all this. Ever since he came to know that Geeta had been living in his house for 3 years, she wanted to harm him in any way, and he suspected that Geeta must have done something wrong. He falls to the ground, and Mrityunjay quickly supports him to make him sit properly on a single sofa. Geeta did not turn towards them at all and saw Mayil start telling them.
"I wanted to see you and Sweta in agony, and when I came to know that your daughter had been kidnapped, I started living in your house and seeing you suffer in her memory every day. My soul was very satisfied with everything, but that day, not knowing what happened to me, when I saw Sweta running like a mad person, I found that she was calling you. Just at that time, I felt that this girl's deception snatched my Shivam from me, and I pushed her down the stairs. After Sweta's death, I kept looking at you in sorrow, and I was smiling at your sorrow. But you were happy when Mayil came back to you. I changed her medicines so that she kept getting upset with everything. And you used to torment even more seeing her suffering; all these things were bothering you too. I was very happy. Although I have no objection to Mohan being shot, his demise is preferable to nothing more. But he is still alive; if I get a chance again, I will kill him."
She kisses Mayil's head again and stands in front of Jagdish and tells him with joined hands in front of him.
"Shivam deserved a good life... I deserve a good family with my kids and grandkids. Everything was taken away from him forcibly; I am not asking for anything, but he deserves a proper cremation ceremony."
She turns and looks at Mayil, she has no courage to stand in front of her when she regains consciousness, and she tells her that she is her mother's murderer.
"Shivam is waiting for his last journey; his Sweta is waiting for him."
She comes and stands in front of Mrityunjay, and after looking at his face, she caresses his head and tells him.
"I don't deserve an apology from my granddaughter at all, but I am very happy that you have come into her life... She is very lucky to have found only loving people in her life. To keep this love forever in her life and now try to fill only more love in her life, she forgets everything."
No one has any words to say. Geeta quietly goes to the policemen and stands. The cops don't put her in any handcuffs and silently signal her to go with them; she leaves without turning back. Mrityunjay cannot do anything at this time because his wife is unconscious, his mother standing nearby is not saying anything, and there is such a person in front of whom his whole life has been deceived so much that he has completely broken those deceptions.
NEXT DAY
Mayil stood silently while hugging Mrityunjay and Jagdish. Mritunjay did not want Mayil to come here at all, but she too insisted that she had to come, and as always, Jagdish could never live without listening to her. He quickly agreed and told Mritunjay to listen to her too. Sunaina can understand everything about Mayil very well. That's why she also tells Mrityunjay forcefully that he has to listen to Mayil. It didn't take him long to persuade him.
They are standing in Mohan's Garden and digging out soil. After digging a pit of about 6 to 7 feet, a human skeleton is taken out, which brings tears to Mayil's eyes. She hides her face in Mrityunjay's chest. Jagdish immediately signals to Mrityunjay to take her away from there, but as soon as Mrityunjay starts taking her from there, she grabs Jagdish's hand and immediately comes into his arms.
"Papa, I don't want to go."
"Please, sweetheart, don't do this."
"I am okay; Mrityunjay is here; my father is here... (looking at Shivam's corpse) My whole family is here... I am not afraid of anything... I am very strong."
Jagdish has no option left. He quietly watches all the preparations for Shivam's last farewell with his daughter in his arms. Both Mrityunjay and Jagdish do not want any delay in any way. That's why both of them have done all the work very quickly, because the longer the delay, the more Mayil will be upset. The police have taken action, and only now Shivam is here for his final goodbye.
After Shivam's funeral, Mrityunjay forcibly put Mayil to sleep because she was very upset. He has put her to sleep by giving her a strong injection, so she is no longer in trouble. Sunaina and Jagdish are also seeing her at this time. Then Mrityunjay's phone starts ringing. It's Ayaan's call; he puts on the speaker.
"Yes, Ayaan."
"After the operation, Mohan's bullets were removed, but even after undergoing a lot of treatment, Mohan was only in pain, and finally he could not handle his pain, and he breathed his last a while back. I just want to know what to do now."
Jagdish immediately snatches Mrityunjay's phone and says calmly:.
"Throw him on some distant hill; at least the animals will get their food... Other than that, I have no answer. I do not know this person, nor do I want to know..."
He immediately leaves the room after giving the phone to Mrityunjay. Sunaina is numb to everything. She has no idea of any situation now; she only keeps seeing Mrityunjay and Mayil all the time. She also left. Mrityunjay lies down beside his life, kisses her forehead, and says,.
"I promise, there will be only happiness in your life now.”
