Chapter 93
Aditya was getting bored in the house and he couldn't even go outside to meet Vanya or to hang out with his friends because he was grounded.
He was playing video games all day long but now he got bored.
So he came out in the garden and started strolling to refresh his mind.
The weather was nice and the slightly cool air had lifted up his mood.
He was enjoying his own company when his phone buzzed up with a notification.
He took out his phone from his pants pocket and opened the message.
His brows furrowed in confusion receiving a video from an unknown number but the moment he clicked on the video his expression shifted.
His whole body started trembling in rage.
His fingers were digging in the phone so tightly that if it was of glass it would have broken by now.
His eyes turned red in fury, his jaw clenched so tightly that it started hurting.
He entered the house taking long purposeful strides.
"Bhai!" He yelled loudly. His voice was roaring in the mansion.
He was pacing like a hungry lion, "Bhai!" He yelled again.
Abhishek came out in the living room and looked at his angry face. He flinched slightly looking at his eyes because it was not the regular angry Aditya. His eyes were blazing with fire as if he would destroy the whole world with his anger.
"Kya hua itne gusse me kyun hai?" Abhishek asked cautiously.
Aditya's chest was moving up and down with the suppressed anger.
He shoved the phone in Abhishek's hand. Abhishek furrowed his brows but looked at the phone and the very next moment, his eyes got widened.
He was staring at the video in anger and confusion.
And in no time his expression mirroring Aditya's.
"Kya hai ye?" Abhishek asked, glaring at Aditya.
"Ye mai aapse puch raha hoon kya hai ye aapne bheja tha na bhaiya ko wahan par." He accused, "Ye hai aapki Rooh aur uski family?" He shouted.
Abhishek didn't have answer.
"Aaj mai jinda nahi chorunga in Raichands ko." Aditya oathed and stomped away from there in anger.
Abhishek followed him behind. They both settled down in the car.
Aditya took the wheel and Abhishek sat down beside him.
The car roared on the road with a loud sound.
Both of them were fuming in rage, the tension in the car was thick with their bubbling anger.
Aditya's hands were gripping the steering wheel so tightly that his knuckles had turned white.
His jaw was clenched, his eyes were focused on the road ahead.
The car was racing on the full speed, dodging the every vehicle on it's way.
Aditya stopped the car in front of the building with a halt making a screeching sound and fled out of it even before the engine could completely turned off.
Abhishek also followed him behind, his heart was racing with anger, confusion and guilt.
He was feeling guilty and angry at himself for sending Advait to meet Raichands and he was confused about their behavior as Roohanika had told him that her family was ready for the alliance.
"Randheer Raichand." Aditya growled while banging the reception desk where a guard was sitting.
The guard stood up in fear, "1-11th floor, sir." He stuttered.
Both of them ran to the stairs. They couldn't wait for the lift to show up.
They started climbing the stairs, their shoes thudding heavily on the floor.
They ran like maniacs and reached the 11th floor in just a short time.
Aditya scanned the doors for the familiar nameplate and the moment his gaze landed on Raichands, he strode towards the door.
The door was locked so he banged it loudly.
No response.
His patience was running thin with the passing seconds. He banged the door with the full force and Mrs. Raichand opened the door. Aditya didn't even look at her and barged into the house. Abhishek also entered inside and Mrs. Raichand quickly recognized Abhishek as she had seen his photos.
Vikram was sitting there on the couch reading a magazine. He quickly stood up at Abhishek and Aditya's sudden arrival.
Aditya gripped him by his collar, "Tera baap kahan hai?" He barked.
Mrs. Raichand's eyes got widened at his behavior.
Vikram also gripped Aditya's collar, "Apni aukaat me reh." He replied.
Aditya's patience snapped and he blow a punch to his face making his nose bleed. Vikram held his nose screaming in pain. Aditya kicked him down on the floor and punched him continuously. His blows were merciless, his eyes were dark in anger. Vikram felt scared by looking at his unforgiving eyes.
Mrs. Raichand started screaming, "Ye kya kar rahe ho choro mere bete ko." She said horrified.
"Bohot shok hai tujhe logo ko unki aukaat dikhane ka huh?
" Aditya said throwing punches on his face, "Aaj mai tujhe aur tere baap ko tum dono ki aukaat dikhata hoon.
" He broke his jaw. The blood was pooling on the floor.
Vikram tried to fight back but Aditya wasn't giving him any chance and fisting his face like a punching bag.
Randheer and Roohanika stepped out listening to the screaming and noises and they gasped looking at the scene in front of them.
"Aey kaun ho tum aur ye kya kar rahe ho?" Randheer shouted as he was seeing Aditya for the first time.
Aditya stopped listening to his voice and stood up slowly. He turned around and looked at him like a psycho. He stepped towards him, gritting his teeth. Randheer stepped back involuntarily.
"Saale buddhe." Aditya hissed while grabbing the back of his neck and smashing his head into the wooden table.
Mrs. Raichand started crying looking at the condition of her son and husband. She joined her hands and pleaded, "Kya kar rahe ho ye tum jaane do inhe." She pleaded.
Roohanika grabbed Aditya's shoulder from behind, "Leave him." She commanded angrily.
Aditya turned around and glared at her soul, "Agar tum ek ladki nahi hoti na to agla number tumhara hi tha islie accha hoga ki door raho." He warned her dangerously.
She looked at Abhishek who was already glaring at her. She walked up to him.
"Tum kya yahan khade khade tamasha dekh rahe ho? Can't you see tumhara bhai mere bhai aur dad ko kis tarah maar raha hai?" She raised her voice.
"Galat kya kar raha hai wo huh?" He pulled her by grabbing her shoulders.
His grip was tightened making her hissed in pain.
"Mujhe dard ho raha hai." She said, blinking back her tears.
"Aur mujhe kitna dard ho raha hai pata hai?" He retorted, "Maine apne bhaiya ko humare rishte ke liye itna manaya kyun? Taaki tum log unhe yahan bula kar unhe insult kar sako?" He asked her. His heart was burning remembering the image of his elder brother on his knees.
She shook her head, "Maine kuch nahi kiya, Abhi..
"Par tumhare dad ne kiya." He shouted jerking her back, "Aur tum wahan khade ho kar tamasha dekh rahi thi." He yelled.
"Maine tumse kaha tha na mere bhaiya mere liye sab kuch hain phir bhi tumne unhe insult kiya." He gritted out.
Abhishek closed his eyes before saying the most heart crumbling words from his mouth, "Jo log mere bhaiya ki izzat nahi kar sakte mai unse koi rishta nahi rakh sakta."
Roohanika froze on her place. She blinked blankly, "Wh-What do you mean?" She asked, dreading for his answer.
"I'm breaking up with you, Roohanika Raichand." He declared despite of his aching heart.
Roohanika tried to comprehend the situation. She shook her head firmly and put up a smile, "Tu-Tum mazak kar rahe ho na?" She asked.
"Sab mazak hi to lagta hai tumhe. Mai, meri family sab mazak hi hai tumhare liye kyunki agar tum mujhe value karti to jo aaj tumhari family ne kiya hai wo kabhi nahi hone deti." He cleared out.
She frantically shook her head and clutched his arm, "Abhi, maine kuch nahi kiya.
Dad ki galti thi mai sorry bol rahi hoon tumhe.
You can't break up with me. You can't leave me.
Mai tumhare bhaiya se maafi maang lungi tum bologe to unke pero me gir kar maafi maangne ko taiyar hoon mai par-par tum mujhe chord nahi sakte.
You loves me. I love you. We love each other.
You-You can't leave me." She ranted out in panic.
Her mind had stopped working only at the thought of what would she do without Abhishek.
She couldn't imagine her life without him.
Abhishek looked away gulping down his tears.
He was dying from inside to engulfed her in his arms and reassure her but he couldn't. He loves her but not at the cost of his brother's insult.
Advait had raised him and he could do anything but tolerate his disrespect.
The picture was of his bhaiya was on his knees begging for their forgiveness just for him was drowning him in guilt and making him feel ashamed of himself.
On the other side, Aditya didn't stopped beating him.
Randheer was lying on the floor coughing badly and Aditya was kicking him without showing any mercy.
Suddenly he pulled him up on his feets, Randheer stood up with his wobbly legs.
Aditya dragged him to a near by room and took him to the bathroom.
Randheer's wife was running behind them crying and pleading to leave her husband.
"Chal aaj teri iss gandi shakal ki thodi safai karte hain." Aditya said, exhaling through his nostrils.
Aditya opened the commode and pushed Randheer's face inside.
Randheer fought back with all his strength but Aditya's grip on the back of his neck was strong.
Randheer groaned in protest and was struggling in his grip.
Aditya completely pushed Randheer's face in the pot and closed the lid, stucking his neck in the commode.
He turned on the flush and the water splashed on Randheer's face, he closed his mouth and let out voices from his throat.
"Chordo unhe please." Mrs. Raichand said but her pleading went to deaf ears.
Aditya was fighting with his urge to burn their whole apartment inside himself.
He was crazily looking here and there for anything to break Randheer's few more bones.
His gaze landed on the geyser and he marched towards it.
With a strong tug he pulled it out off the wall and raised it above his head to throw on the Randheer but Mrs Raichand came in between.
She joined her hands in front of Aditya. The tears were covering her cheeks. She knelt down in front of him begging for her husband's life. Aditya's anger slowly subsided looking at her helpless face. He angrily threw the geyser in the corner breaking it into pieces and left the room.
He emerged in the living room where Roohanika was standing defeatedly as if someone had taken away her everything.
Her eyes were hollow and empty. Vikram was lying in the pool of his own blood, struggling to keep his eyes open.
Abhishek was standing, clenching his jaw.
His hands were balled up at his sides. Just a look at him and anyone could say that he was barely holding himself together.
"Kahan hai wo?" Abhishek asked in a cold tone, referring to Randheer.
"Andar mar raha hai." Aditya replied, glancing at Roohanika.
Abhishek marched into the room and came back dragging Randheer with himself.
His palm was tightly wrapped around Randheer's nape.
His veins were dangerously popping out in his hands.
He guided him out of the house, Randheer was barely able to stand on his feets.
His legs were wobbling but with Abhishek's firm grip he remained stand still.
Randheer's wife ran behind him, begging him to stop.
Aditya followed them outside banging the door behind himself. Roohanika remained stood on her place, she didn't move an inch. Abhishek's words hit her like a blow in chest.
Meanwhile, Abhishek dragged Randheer onto the stairs and his wife was running behind them.
Aditya's hands were fisted to control his rage.
The staircase was echoing with Randheer's wife crying and pleading.
Abhishek took him out of the building, Randheer didn't have strength in himself to fought back.
The building guard stood up in fear looking at the bloodied condition of Randheer.
He wanted to stop them but felt scared to do anything.
Abhishek pushed Randheer inside the car and closed the door with a thud.
He sat down on the driving seat and waited for Aditya.
Mrs. Raichand banged the car's window but Abhishek didn't glance at her. Aditya came from behind and stopped her.
"Don't worry aapka parcel wapas same address par deliver ho jayega." He told her and opened the door before settling down beside Abhishek.
Mrs. Raichand watched the retreating car. Her eyes were filled with tears and face was covered in salty water. Her hair was disheveled in every direction.
The guard ran to her and looked at her being concerned, "Madam, kaun the ye log? Police ko phone karun?" He asked.
She shook her head, "Nahi, iski koi jarurat nahi hai." She replied and left.
Her son had released from jail after a long time and she didn't want her family to get into a police case again.
On the other side, Randheer was lying lifelessly on the back seat. The blood was oozing out from his mouth. Abhishek was driving the car while glancing at Randheer from the mirror. There was the heavy pin drop silence inside the car. The heat of their anger was suffocated the inside environment.
"Ka-Kahan le jaa-rahe ho mujhe." A faint voice echoed in the silence.
"Tere baap se milwane." Aditya answered without looking back at him.
Randheer breathed with struggle, "Iska hi-hisaab bhi mai boho-bohot jaldi lunga." He forced out the words from his mouth.
"Apna muh band kar ke baith warna chalti gaadi se bahar phek dunga." Abhishek warned, slamming his hand on the steering wheel.
The silence again filled inside the car except of Randheer's heavy breathing.
After a few minutes, Abhishek drove the car inside the main gate of Malhotra Mansion.
He stopped the car and stepped out of it before dragging Randheer out of it.
Randheer looked around himself with his half opened eyes.
Abhishek took him inside gripping his neck.
Aditya also stepped out of the car and glared at the guards presented there.
He scoffed and went inside behind Abhishek.
Advait and Shreya were sitting in the living room having their coffees when a bloodied body fell at Advait's feet.
Shreya gasped loudly standing up from her place.
Advait looked at the man and then glanced up at Abhishek and Aditya who were standing furiously in front of him.
He slightly turned the neck of the man so he could see the face.
Randheer's swollen eyes and bruised face came into his view.
His mouth was bleeding and forehead turned blue with the injury.
"Arey aap to badi jaldi aa gaye khatirdaari karaane ke liye." Advait whispered sarcastically.
Randheer looked at him angrily ignoring his own vulnerable state.
Shreya's hands shaking in horror looking at the blood on Randheer's face, "Ye-Ye kaun hain?" She shivered.
Advait's attention shifted to her and he quickly stood up. He stood in front of her blocking her view so she couldn't look at him. He rubbed her palms gently and assuringly.
"Relax, kuch nahi hua hai theek hai wo." He whispered.
"Itna saara khoon beh rah...
He cupped her cheeks, "Shh aap apne room me jaiye." He told her. He didn't want his innocent wife to witness something so cruel.
She shook her head, "Na-Nahi wo aadmi...
Abhishek gestured Aditya to took Shreya upstairs and he obliged. He stepped forward and looked at her gently.
"Bhabhi, aap mere saath chaliye mai aapko sab batata hoon." He told her so that she would get agreed to go with him.
She looked at Advait who reassuringly blinked his eyes at her and she reluctantly went upstairs with Aditya.
"Adi, wo aadmi kaun hai aur iss-iss halat me humare ghar me kya kar raha hai?" She asked in panic and fear.
"Mai aapko baad me sab bataunga aap fikar mat kijiye nahi mar raha wo." Aditya said as usual with his odd choice of words.
Shreya whacked his arm harshly, "Shut up." She snapped.
In the living room, Randheer was lying on the floor at Advait's feet. Abhishek was piercing his gaze in his half dead body. He gripped Randheer's neck and ruthlessly pressed his face against Advait's feet making him groaned in pain and protest.
"Maafi maang bhaiya se." Abhishek hissed.
But Randheer didn't open his mouth. He was moving his arms to get out of Abhishek's unforgiving grip.
"Abhi, ye kya tareeka hai apne hone wale sasur ji ke saath pesh aane ka?" Advait said in a serious voice but the mockness of his tone didn't go unnoticed by Randheer.
"Sasur ji. My foot." Abhishek seethed, "Koi shaadi nahi hogi bhaiya, maine Roohanika se saare rishte tod liye hain." He said, gritting his teeth and pressing Randheer's face on the cold floor.
A relief washed over Advait's face but the pain in Abhishek's voice clawed at his heartstrings.
"Maafi maang warna isi zameen me gaad dunga." Abhishek barked.
Randheer groaned loudly and stopped struggling. His remaining energy was also got drained and he accepted his defeat.
"Sorry." He whispered.
Abhishek pulled his head up by tugging his hair, "Loud and clear." He spat on his face.
Advait was only looking at Abhishek. He was not interested in Randheer's apology.
His plan was to break Roohanika and Abhishek's relationship and he got succeed in it.
He sent the video to Aditya so that Abhishek would not go alone to the Raichands because if Abhishek was alone then Roohanika would have manipulated him again.
"Mujhe maaf kar do." Randheer's painful voice dragged Advait out of his thoughts.
Abhishek pulled him up on his feet and dragged him out of the house before throwing him out like a trash.
"Isey iske ghar deliver kar dena." Abhishek instructed the guards who nodded in response.
