"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
Madhban Mansion"What do you think about her condition?" "Highly unstable at this moment. What sort of incidents had happened?"Anirudh was rubbing his cheek while looking at the doctor who was examining Suhani. She had her eyes closed with a pale face."Nothing much. I mean... " This was the first time he stammered because he felt guilty for his actions. Once the arrow is stretched to release, it means it has been released to pierce the target. There is no way to pull it back. He didn't assume that his one decision would push her down in such a state."Nothing much? You are getting insane. I think you must leave for Germany. India is not suitable for you." Dr. Shivay was a renowned heart surgeon who was also Madhban's family physician. Anirudh and Shivay are long-term friends so he had that much authority to speak against Anirudh."Shivay, don't just push.....""Push you? Asshole I am fucking trying to get your senses back. You are becoming sadistic. Now handle your sleeping beauty
"I don't understand why she is still weeping." Anirudh was discussing with his brother while Suhani was getting freshen up. Both the brothers were seated inside his study with a pile of files."Who? Suhani?""Yes. I told her that her sister is alive but she is still crying like a school kid." Annoyed, Anirudh tossed a file to Adarsh to check."At least she weeps. Don't ask about her sister. She is a nightmare dressed in a daydream. By the way, she has broken a few things in your guest room." Adarsh shrugged his shoulders after clarifying Rohini's rampage.Both the brothers let out a huge sigh and came out of their study to join both sisters over lunch. Both of them decided to stay back in the mansion as it would be a risk to leave two girls alone who can go to any extent to run away. Suhani came out of her room to meet her sister. The moment Anirudh told her about Rohini she couldn't stop herself shedding tears of joy. Upon running towards the desired room she barged inside."Mini...
"So, do you think escaping is easy? That too when I am already present in the house?" Anirudh gritted his teeth while throwing every single word at Rohini who was standing in front of the large Mahogany door frame. "Anirudh, don't dare to come near." She glared at him with the thought of keeping him away for a certain time. "You little brat, didn't your sister tell you not to mess around?" Rohini squeezed her eyes and expanded her hand in front showing a small Pendrive. "I hope you don't want to lose it. So...." Before she could complete her sentences Anirudh walked towards her with his menacing steps and grabbed her neck."Bhai, leave her," Adarsh shouted from behind when he came downstairs due to the buzzing sound of the alarm."Adi, stop....." Anirudh couldn't finish his words when. Adarsh strode towards them with a panic-stricken face."We lost her Bhai. It's a trap. Suhani is not in her room.""What?" Anirudh released Rohini's neck and turned his face towards Adarsh to clarify
"Suhani?" The voice came out from his mouth holding the door frame open with astonishment. "Rishi, I don't have much time. Please help me to get my sister back." Suhani pleaded while panting in front of Rishi Banshali, son of Dhiraj Banshali.The day when she visited Vinayak's house for the ritual that was arranged after Rajveer's death, Rishi was also present. Once he grabbed a chance to have some words with Suhani. He mentioned his doubt on Anirudh who could be the sole reason behind the death of Rajveer. It was Rishi who promised to help her in that case and using his power also she was able to drag Anirudh to the police station. Nobody was a pure saint when it came down to avenging someone's death. Even though Rajveer was handling Banshali's case, Suhani also stepped in to entangle Anirudh in a bigger web of murder. Everything was as per her and Rishi's plans until she was kidnapped again by Anirudh and her sister pulled another stance without letting someone know. She tried to
"I think we have reached." Adarsh tried to dissolve the thickness of the deadly situation."I know." Rohini snapped back. The ongoing conflict was visible to Adarsh as he understood both of their nature. Rohini is far away from any ordinary girl and probably her darkness doesn't allow her to withstand Anirudh. He belongs to the same group of people who speak less work more, yet their poisonous side is enough tormenting to slice through every possible threat. The same might go with both of them. Both have their demons to unleash and both are not ready to spare an ounce of air to breathe. Maybe that's why it is always better not to mess with an equal personality.Three of them got down from the car to enter the Banshali's house."Do you think they would let us enter easily?" Adarsh spoke something serious."No. But of course, they would allow me. So I am either going by climbing the wall or walking straight through the gate. Rest you both manage." Rohini didn't wait for them to speak an
Three Months Later Mumbai High Court"Hi dad, yeah... I will be back soon. No... No... It's fine. I will manage." Suhani was rushing out of the courtroom to discuss a matter with her colleague."Hey, Srishti. Yeah, tell me." Her old pal Srishti was waiting for her to get some help on a matter before going for her next hearing."Yeah. Just go through it once. I am worried about this point only. I am sure the opposing lawyer would drag it." Srishti explained the matter."Oh, yeah. Do one thing. You can counter that with this. Anyhow your opponent is already accused of tax fraud. Bring that record out. It would make your point stronger." Suhani explained the rest of the matter. "You are seriously a gem Suhani. Rajveer has trained you well." Just after seeing the changing emotions of Suhani, Srishti regretted her own decision of blurting out her dead fiancé's name."Sorry. I didn't mean to drag it." Srishti added again with an apology."It's ok. I can't deny his contribution to my life.
Paris, France "What time zone is Di?" Rohini asked from the opposite side of the call."It should be CET (Central European Time) but Madrid, Paris, Brussels come under Romance Standard Time," Suhani explained. This was the second call of Rohini she was attending after her parents called twice and took a nice note of her well-being. None of them knew that Anirudh was present with her during the journey."Wow, Di. Romance. How are the boys in Paris.""Pretty nice." She spoke while looking at a crowd of boys standing a few meters away. "Send some to the US. I am bored of these American pies."They had a pretty nice conversation before dropping the call. Anirudh had followed her gaze. Once she dropped the call, he grabbed her attention by saying."Why were you gawking at the group of boys?" Suhani's mouth fell open hearing that. She couldn't control her laugh and burst into tears. Leaning on him she kept on laughing clutching her stomach."Are you jealous? Seriously? I was looking for
"I thought you would ditch that plan," Suhani spoke, astonished, after seeing Anirudh standing at her hotel lobby."Keep dreaming," Anirudh replied curtly. "I wonder why I even offered you to join." Suhani shook her head in annoyance while looking for some other stuff in her room. Anirudh was standing at the doorstep. He came to take her out to visit Suermondt-Ludwig-Museum which is one of the major tourist attractions in Aachen. Suhani was shuffling through her things when she noticed him standing away."I don't think I have a bomb planted in my hotel room. You may enter." She threw her words without raising her head in Anirudh's direction."Just wanted to confirm though." He gave a sarcastic smile while stepping into the room after closing the door. "What are you searching for by the way?" He asked, standing near the couch placed in the room."Your head.""Oh. But it's here. Look." Anirudh pointed at his head when Suhani finally raised her head and Anirudh got a proper glimpse of
Aachen, Germany Suhani was standing near the Aachen Cathedral admiring its architecture. Due to its position near Dutch and Belgium Border, it has a different charisma to attract tourists. Those beautiful gothic sculptures and mesmerizing creations were enough to catch her eyes. It was mid-January and many people didn't intend to visit Aachen during this period of time. It is known as the chilly month where the amount of snow or rain remains 59mm almost. Rubbing her palm even after wearing thick gloves Suhani tried to generate some external heat. The white layer of snow around the church area was giving her a vibe of a snow-white movie. As the little amount of snowfall started she wrapped the big fur jacket more tightly around her body. Walking through the medium layer of snow she stood in front of the cathedral to capture a few more glimpses of what she was viewing.It was a weird decision to come alone on her pre-booked honeymoon. These moments were supposed to be cherished with Ve
"Di, did you go to meet him?""No, just met him before his departure." "And then?"Nothing. I gave him a bouquet and told him not to return to India." Suhani wanted to avoid this conversation from the beginning. She remembered the expression on Anirudh's face when he mentioned his departure with an expectation from her side. She kept her face straight and replied with a single word. "Oh. Great. What took you so long to stay back." She knew it was the most pathetic and harsh statement that she had ever passed to someone. He didn't retort, rather have a weak smile to reply."Vista Project. I had to settle the matter as Adarsh was still naive in that matter. And the other reason is that I need an explanation longer, I bet." "Good to see you Anirudh." That was Suhani's last reply before they drove out of the place. Stopping at a nearby flower shop, she gave him a bouquet of beautiful flowers along with a small expensive pen."I hope you know a pen is mightier than the sword." She menti
2 Weeks Later "Anirudh Madhban made his way to the top list of World's young billionaire list after his remarkable job in grabbing the Vista Project." ~ India Today and Tomorrow"Anirudh Madhban, a German-based business tycoon, got his name engraved in the list of top 10 richest men of the world." ~ Times Now Suhani kept those newspapers aside while concentrating on her breakfast. "Huh. There should be a name for Rohini too. The youngest devil made her name by hacking into Madhban's system and also helping them to hammer out the deal." Suhani mumbled under her breath while chewing the hard toast thinking it was Anirudh's ego and attitude. "Are you angry over Anirudh's success?" Sudhir removed his reading glass and kept the newspaper aside while asking her daughter."No.""You shouldn't be. For the past one month, you both were..." Her mother was trying to say something when she cleared her throat."Excuse me. It was purely business. I wanted to put Rishi behind the bar and he want
Mumbai High Court "Mr. Rishi, Do you have anything to say on your behalf?" The judge asked him for one last time while looking at the rest of the documents. The courtroom fell silent. It was the second hearing for Banshali's. Suhani was standing a bit away from the witness box where Rishi was standing. She was the person who made sure of bringing him to his knees. Every single question, every single point took a turn to hang Rishi from every angle.Sudhir and Ragini were sitting with blank expressions on their faces. From Banshali's side, Dhiraj was sweating like a pig. The calmest person was none but Anirudh. The whole courtroom was shocked when Anirudh was called into the witness box by Suhani for some question-answer rounds. Every single time she threw a question, their eyes met and at least one of them stumbled to carry forward their duty. She had no plan to bash on him. She took only that much of what was required to make the case strong. Neela's family members were also present
"Unfortunately I can't believe that you hid another major fact from Rajveer too. Your secret interaction with his father, Vinayak. I bet Rajveer knew nothing of it."Suhani froze at her place when Anirudh perfectly wrapped his words around her disheveled state. It took months to gather up such information. Even though he wasn't sure of everything, he knew Vinayak and Suhani had something going on between them. He didn't know what but his guess wasn't wrong in all aspects. Sudhir backed off from helping Vinayak in Vista Project the moment he got to know about the black money that would be involved in that matter. Syndicate already had sweet and sour terms with Rane Enterprise due to Sudhir's way of handling business with too much pure ideology. Now the only person who could dare to ask Sudhir to help Vinayak out or to support was none but Suhani. If Sudhir had ever listened to someone then it was Suhani. Anirudh wasn't sure he just tried to beat around the bushes but immediately calcul
"Correct. And Adarsh was not the murderer. At least not in the case of Aryaan Mathoor." Anirudh spoke, making Suhani's eyebrows knitted with confusion. As much she remembered Aryaan Mathoor was murdered by Adarsh though he was not proven guilty. She arched her brows and kept a minimal distance in between them to avoid engaging in any unlawful activity. "I don't believe it." "I can't help it. The murder weapon was not found and he died because of one-shot not because of stabbing.""What do you mean by that?" Suhani started getting a grip on that matter. Aryaan Mathoor had two injuries even though the forensic report declared the cause of death as a gunshot. That bullet was fired from a distance of a few meters approximately. But it was mentioned whoever had fired he was not standing close to Aryaan but whoever had stabbed him, he was standing close. "Wait. Someone stabbed him and someone shot him dead. Do you mean to say....." Suhani stopped in between her words."Of course Adarsh h
