"It was a minor attack." I heard Mr.Verma's voice who has been working for Rajvanshi's doctor for over a decade now. He is in his mid 50's already.
"But now everything is stable Mr.Rajvanshi." He further added. I hummed as I caressed my one & only dadi-sa's fragile hand, gently.
My dadi-sa--Urmila Singh Rajvanshi, a strong women of her times. She is a women who ruled whole Rajasthan along with her husband at every single step without backing away or leaving my dada-sa alone.
Dadi-sa faced every challenge of her life with great determined eyes and from her only I have learned how to tackle problems that this cruel life throws at you.
Her fearless yet empathetic spirit made people who need genuine help approach her without any hesitation.
Each person in Rajasthan till now remembers her and her pure actions which she did for this kingdom & people who live in this kingdom.
She never backed away from helping anybody. She is like a shield that gives you the feeling of protection & love which you craved for and she has never failed to bless me with those two things.
But now as she lays on her bed half-dead with plenty of tube wires attached to her body with the machines that indicates that her heart is still beating and that she is still breathing makes me feel relieved yet swam in a pool of sadness.
"How did this attack came in the first place ?" My voice was grave as I waited for his answer.
How much I want her to open her beautiful eyes and look at me with the same love she has always stored for me in those eyes. I craved for her care & love which she has showered on me from my childhood.
"It happens sometimes when a patient is being in coma for too long Mr.Rajvanshi." Mr.Verma conveyed. I nodded in return.
[Note :- It's just for the story I mentioned this attack. I am not sure if it really happens with a coma patient]
"Mr.Verma I need you to check up on her twice a week from onwards without a delay and not just once a week." I ordered firmly not removing my eyes from my dadi-sa's pale face which once shined like a diamond.
"Okay Mr.Rajvashi." Mr.Verma said and took his leave, closing the door behind him to give me and my dadi-sa some privacy.
"Aap kabh tak hume yu intezar karvayegi dadi-sa hm ?" I asked softly as I make invisible circular patterns on back of her hand, lightly.
(How long are you planning to make me wait like this dadi-sa hm ?)
"Aap hume apni pyaari aankho se kabh wapas dekhne waali hai ?" I mumbled gloomy as I stared at her closed eyes.
(When are you going to look at me with your pretty eyes ?)
"Aapki awaaz sunne ke liye taraz rahe hai hum." I whispered in a desperate tone and hoped that she heard my voice.
(I am dying to hear your voice)
"Aap jali se uth jaye please dadi-sa." I requested helplessly. Only if I knew a way which will make her get up and talk to me I would have done it already but sadly I don't have it.
(Please wake up soon dadi-sa)
I can only wait for her. That's all I can do and it makes me so frustrated. Even though I hold plenty of money in my hands I cannot cure my dadi-sa entirely.
I took a deep breath and pressed a tender light kiss on back of her hand.
"I will wait for you dadi-sa no matter how long you take to open your eyes and look at me." I expressed firmly as I caressed her hand softly.
With one more kiss on her forehead I walked out of her room and closed the door behind me slowly.
I stumbled back when my sister--Shanaya who was standing on the other side of the door tackle me with her tight hug. I hold her knowing she missed me.
"Bhai I missed you so much." Shanaya whispered against my chest. I hummed as I patted back of her head.
"Did you miss me too ?" She asked as she looked up at me with the same jet black eyes as mine.
Before I can answer her. Another voice which I am very well familiar interrupted.
"Bhai has better work to do than to just miss you, idiot."
My eyes caught my brother--Siddhart who stood rolling his eyes at our sister. Shanaya broke the hug as she turned to face to Siddharth.
"Excuse me no one ask for your useless comment so keep them in your pocket." Shanaya snapped. I sighed seeing no changes in their behaviour for each other. They still fight like kids !
"Oh hello my comments aren't useless. It's yours comments which are useless got it ?" Siddharth uttered as he scowled back at Shanaya who didn't back away.
"Excuse me mister you are being highly delusional. Please come back to reality."
"Oh a reality where you reside ? Sorry not sorry I will prefer to stay delusional then." Siddharth sassed back and I can just see the invisible smoke coming out from my little sister's ears.
"You--" I interrupted Shanaya before these both start to pull their hair out from their fucking skulls.
"Stop !" I growled and their heads snapped in my direction before it went down seeing my glare on them.
I was already tensed about dadi-sa's condition after I got to know that she suffered from a minor attack and right now I definitely didn't sign up for seeing my siblings fight like cat & dog.
"I dare you both to say a word to each other anymore." I warned seriously and both of them nodded like kids. They are well aware of my wrath. I always tried to control it but somehow these brats manage to annoy the hell out of me with their stupid arguments.
I took a deep to calm my nerves when I heard. "Bhai !" I looked up to see my other little brother--Yash standing there. "Yash !" I called out to him and he walked towards me with quick steps and hugged me tightly.
I silently chuckled as I patted his head too. "Kaisa hai tuh Yash ?" I asked once we broke the hug.
(How are you Yash ?)
"Mai theek hu. Aap kaise hai bhai ?" Yash asked with his dark brown eyes fixed on me. I took a moment before answering. "Hum bhee theek hai."
(I am okay. How are you Bhai ?)
(I am fine as well)
Yash nodded. I looked over my other siblings who were now pouting like kids. I can't believe they are over 20 but still behaves like 5 year old kids.
"Stop pouting. Don't forget you both are grown up's now." I stated. They both just shook their heads. I rolled my eyes knowing what they wanted me to do. I draped my arm over Yash as I voiced out.
"Lagta hai yeh dono aise he muh phola ke beth ne waale hai par humne toh socha tha ki yeh dono ko inke aane waale birthdays pe ek achi se car gift karde." As I completed my sentences both Shanaya & Siddharth's faces snapped in my direction with wide twinkling eyes making me smirked inside.
(It seems that both of them are going to sit while sulking like this, but I thought that I should gift them a nice car on their upcoming birthdays)
"Nekin abh lagta hai yeh dono ko apni favourite cars nhi chahiye. Kohi baath nhi hum Yash ko uski favourite car dila denge." I patted Yash's shoulders who chuckled shaking his head knowing I was just teasing my siblings.
(Well it seems that both of them don't want their favorite cars. No problem I will get Yash his favorite car)
"No Bhai !" Shanaya & Siddharth exclaimed before they launched at me with their hugs. Good thing that I sweat myself in the gym for two hours and has a nice strong body which is capable of holding my siblings weight on me.
"Bhai hum naraaz nhi hai aapse." Shanaya & Siddharth said unionly. I shook my head before detaching myself from them.
(Brother we are not angry with you)
"Aap hume humari fav cars dilayege na bhai ?" Siddharth asked as he stared at me. "Bilkul dilage agar aap dono ek dosare ke saath ache se rahe." I declared.
(You will now buy us our favourite cars right brother ?)
(Yes I will surely if you both be good with each other)
"Okay Bhai !" They agreed but I knew better to believe their words. They both can't live properly if they don't pull each other's legs at least once a day. You can say that their love language is to annoy & irritate the hell out of one another.
That's Rajvanshi's siblings'love for each other.
"Bhai how is dadi-sa now ?" Yash asked as he worriedly glanced at the closed door behind me.
"She is stable now." I replied and Yash nodded looking a bit relieved from my answer. "I had ordered Mr.Verma to check on dadi-sa twice a week from onwards so make sure you are present there when he does."
"Okay Bhai I will." Yash nodded. I am assured Yash will do what he said. Even though he is the youngest but he is a calm & mature person compared to my siblings who are balls of chaos.
Sometimes I do feel like Yash is older than Shanaya & Siddharth because of his calm and understanding nature. I can count on him if I want someone to take care of my crazy siblings.
"Everything is going good with y'all ?" I asked all three of my siblings.
Siddhart has already been done with his masters and is soon going to join our company whereas Yash is doing his masters in business management.
Meanwhile Shanaya is doing her 'Bachelor in Science in Fashion Design' and one more year is left for her to complete her course.
"Yes Bhai. Everything is good and it would have been better if you decided to stay with us...together." Shanaya mumbled the last part slowly as she glanced at me with hopeful sad eyes.
I looked away from her knowing how much she wanted me to stay in Rajvanshi's palace with other boys who looked at me with a similar hopeful gaze.
That's right. I don't stay at my own house. I stay at my penthouse which is 45 mins away from here. After I turned 25 I left the Rajvanshi palace and began to stay alone at my penthouse.
I have my reasons to stay away from my own house. It's better that way for me and everyone else in this house.
"Shanaya we aren't talking on this topic right now." I declared but my sister choose to be stubborn.
"Fir kabh Bhai ? Aap kabh tak hum sabh se dur rahenge ?" She asked in distressed as she looked up at me with teary eyes. I clenched my jaws as I hate to see my baby sister crying because of...me.
(Then when brother ? How long are you going to stay away from us ?)
"Aapko kyu nhi samj aata ki aapki yaad aati hai mujhe. Mujhe aapke saath rehna hai ek ghar mai." A sob finally left from her mouth and I pulled her to my chest as I caressed her hair gently.
(Why don't you understand that I miss you. I want to live with you in one house)
"Shuu shaant hoja." I whispered.
(Shuu calm down)
"Do you not miss me or this house huh ?" Shanaya asked as she raised her head and stared at me with her red teary eyes.
"Shanaya you better know the answer for your question." I stated as I wiped her tears that slide on her cheeks.
"No I don't bhai. Tell me." She shook her head. I sighed as I looked at Yash who understood what I wanted him to do. Yash pulled Shanaya towards him as he said.
"Shanaya try to understand Bhai. He has his own reasons and by forcing him to stay here you are making it hard for him only."
Shanaya looked down and I seriously felt bad for making her upset but me staying in this house will only increase problems. Besides staying here won't cause any peace to anyone present here.
"Besides Bhai always tries his best to be present for all of us, don't he ?" Yash asked and Shanaya nodded as she mumbled a 'yes' in a tiny voice.
"Then you have to co-operate as well okay ?" Yash exclaimed as he caressed Shanaya's back who nodded and wiped her leftover tears. Shanaya walked towards me.
"Sorry Bhai I won't make it hard for you. It's just that your absence really bothers me." I smiled slightly as I ruffled her hair before saying.
"I can understand you. I am a call away from you. Dial my number and I will listen to your talks, tantrums about Siddharth who stole your fav cake or your complaints about how he teases you everyday."
"You have to. That's your punishment for being away from me. I will eat your ear with my talks every single day." Shanaya proudly vocalized as a smile finally spread on her face making me feel a bit light that my sister is no more upset with me.
"You complain about me ? I should be the one doing that instead." Siddharth uttered as he messed Shanaya's hair.
"Yah ! Go away. Don't touch me." Shanaya snapped as she slapped Siddharth's hand away from her hair.
"Both of you don't start again." I gravely said and they pulled away from each other. I glanced at my watch which shows 4 am in the morning.
"Take care of dadi-sa. I am leaving now." I declared and the other three nodded. Sharing a quick hug with each one of them I started to make my way out of the palace.
I almost reached the entrance door when I heard a voice calling me. I ceased on my step hearing the familiar voice which belongs to my mother--Sarita Rajvanshi.
Taking a deep breath I turned around to look at her. As I scanned her I couldn't help but notice the exhaustion that clearly screams that she is not taking care of herself.
I clenched my fist knowing it's all because of me only.
"Aviraaj." She called out softly, her black eyes looking at me with emotions but I refused to melt down by them.
"Why aren't you sleeping ?" I didn't miss the hurt that passed on her face hearing my cold voice.
"Kaise so jati mai ? Jabh hume pata hai ki humara beta aane waala hai." She said smiling weakly.
(How can I sleep ? When I know my son is going to come)
"How are you ?" She asked as she took steps towards me. "I am fine." I replied coldly.
Maa-sa stared at me and slowly raised her right hand. I fisted my hand tightly as her palm felt so cold on my skin.
I can't remember when I felt the warmth that a child feels when her mother touched them.
Maybe I wasn't lucky enough to be blessed with a mother's warmth in my entire childhood.
Still I am aware how warmth of love & care feels because my dadi-sa had showered those on me with a pure open heart.
"Aapko itne dino ke baad dekh ke humare dil ko sukoon mila hai Aviraaj." Maa-sa whispered as she observed my entire face.
(Seeing you after so many days my heart feels peace Aviraaj)
"Kya aapko humari yaad nhi aati hai ? Kyu ki hume toh humare bete ki bhot yaad aati hai." Maa-sa whispered slowly with a sad smile.
(Don't you miss me ? Because I miss my son a lot)
I watched her face with no emotion. I wasn't going to melt by her words.
"Yaad unne kara jaata hai jinke saath yaade hoti hai..maa-sa." I whispered back emotionlessly as I stared at my mother's eyes who retracted her hand from my face listening to my words.
(We remember those people with whom we have memories...maa-sa)
"A-Aviraaj." She stuttered my name as she looked up at me with pleading eyes. I knew she was hurt by my words and was begging me to stop hurting her but I was just saying the cruel truth of our relationship.
Without saying anything more I turned to leave but halted when she held my wrist and said.
"Kuch ganto mai savera hojayega. Aap breakfast hum sabh ke saath karte jaaye." Maa-sa said, her voice filled with hope.
(It will be morning in a few hours. You should have breakfast with all of us)
"Hum aapki pasandida bhojan banayege. Hume pata hai ki aapko humare haath ki 'Gatte ki sabzi' kitni pasand hai." I looked at her over my left shoulder.
(I will make your favourite dishes. I know how much you like my handmade 'Gatte ki Sabzi')
"Aapke haath ke bhojan ? Hume toh sirf dadi-sa ke haath ke bojhano ka swaad jaante hai...maa-sa." The tiny hope on her face vanished entirely as she gulped knowing what I said was the 100% right.
(Food made by your hand ? I only know the taste of food which dadi-sa had made..maa-sa)
Her hold on my wrist loosened and not wanting to say anymore to her I walked away from her.
Settling myself in the car, I glared at the Rajvanshi Palace that stood out with the magnificent glory of early morning rays.
Only I knew how hard it was for me to leave my siblings alone here. It was tough decision but I was well aware if I needed to reach my goal I had to leave this palace.
"Hukum." Rana called out from the driving seat. "Penthouse ki taraf gaadi chalao Rana." I ordered removing my glare from the Rajvanshi Palace.
(Sir/King)
(Drive the car towards Penthouse Rana)
"Ji Hukum." Rana said back as he drove out from the palace premises.
(Okay Sir/King)
I leaned my head back and closed my eyes and those green eyes flashed by.
An unknown desire evoked in me as I remembered those eyes and the women who owned those beautiful fatal eyes.
The conversation we had together a few hours back replayed in my mind like a tape recorder and I clenched my fist.
Fuck ! I want to hear her deep soothing voice to calm my inner burning turmoil.
Opening my phone where her photo resides I stared at it without blinking.
How did she manage to become the peace of my burning heart without doing anything ?
I chuckled silently as I touched her gorgeous face with my finger tips and whispered, deeply.
"Jitna socha tha usse bhee jayada aapne hum par jaadu kiya hai."
(You have cast a spell on me more than I thought)
My hold on the phone tightened as I whispered slowly.
"Now you will face the consequences of putting your magic on me..Anamika Chauhan."
"Just wait & watch." I smirked as I closed my eyes and remembered her.
2 days later.
*Click*
I relieved a sigh after I sent the email. Just a few more weeks before I start working as a criminal lawyer in India.
I had sent my necessary documents already and was just waiting to get my legal documents which will allow me to work as a lawyer in India as well. I closed my eyes as I massaged my temple. I was working half the night and barely had two hours of sleep. I was exhausted but I needed to pull myself. I got up and walked into my kitchen and made myself a cold dark coffee.
Sipping my coffee, my thoughts went to my father who is still trying to find the culprit but I knew he won't be able to accomplish anything.
I won't let him.
I came out from my thoughts when I heard a ping sound coming from my phone. I walked over to the small dining table I had presented before my kitchen counter.
Unlocking the device I saw messages from an unknown number. I took a second before opening it and my eyes went dark seeing the photos.
My hold on the phone tightened as I went through more pictures. I clenched my jaws as I tried to calm my racing mind when one more message popped up.
"π΄πππ ππ ππ πππππ πππ πππππ ππ 1 ππ πππππ."
I greeted my teeth as I thought of the possibilities if I didn't go but again a message popped up.
"πππ πππ πππππ ππππππ πππ ππ ππππππ ππ."
I threw my coffee mug on the marble floor of my apartment in rage.
Who the fuck is this person ? How did he or she manage to get these photographs ?
I can't possibly ignore this. I have to meet whoever this fucker is.
2 hours later.
I stood in front of the paradise hotel. One of the top-notch luxurious hotels present in Rajasthan.
Why will he or she tell me to meet them at such a lavish hotel ? where there are plenty of cameras will be available.
That clearly indicates two things that whoever this person is either is too smart or too dumb.
Or is having a whole different plan in mind in order to get something from me.
I glanced at my wrist watch showcasing 12:50 pm. I sucked a breath, deeply.
Let's get over it. I have plenty of other things to fucking take care of.
I walked inside the hotel and moved towards the reception desk where a girl around her 20's greeted me professionally.
"Hello mam. Welcome to Paradise hotel. How can I help you ?"
Before I can say something a message popped in my phone.
"π±πππ πππ πππ ππππ ππππ."
I rolled my eyes. Whoever this fucker is really testing my dam patience.
I hate when someone orders me around and this unknown fucker is exactly doing that to me.
And he is fucking seeing me right now from that dam cctv camera present right above behind the reception desk.
I directly glared at the cctv camera as I said my name.
"Myself Anamika Chauhan." Just as I said my name the girl's eyes widened before she covered it up and moved out from her desk and stood in front of me.
"Please come this way mam." She said and I nodded as I walked behind her. She led me to the elevator and pressed the 10th floor button.
"What is there on the 10th floor ?" I asked, cautiously. She looked at me before saying in her same professional voice.
"On the 10th floor we have our special lunch or dining arrangement for our special guests only."
That means this unknown messenger is a special guest here.
"Do you know who is waiting for me up there ?" I asked and least expected to get an answer from her and I was correct when she said.
"I apologise mam but I have orders not to reveal anything to you."
Before I can ask anymore questions the elevator's door opened. "From here you have to go up alone mam. I have orders to assist you until here only." The girl said and gave me a small smile then walked away from me.
I entered the elevator and it started to move upwards. I looked around the elevator and a CCTV camera was available here as well.
I stared at the camera device when a ping sound again came from my phone.
"π³ππππ ππππ πππππππ ππ πππππ ππ ππππ πππππ ππ."
I scoffed as I looked away and stared at the elevator's closed doors. The doors opened up and I walked out where a man was already standing or I can say waiting for me.
"Hello mam. I am here to assist you the remaining way." The man said in a professional tone who was wearing a manager suit. I nodded and followed him behind.
We walked through the corridors and I observed my path carefully; trying to find any suspicious thing but I find none. Everything here screams richness--ofcourse Paradise hotel is one of the hotels where only very famous identity can step in.
The security system were advanced but what was unexpected that they didn't checked me and let me enter without any restrictions.
"Why can't I see people around here ?" I asked the man who glanced at me before answering me. "We have kept the hotel closed for next 2 hours mam."
That means he booked entire hotel for our meeting. Who the fuck does that ?
I looked down at my phone when it vibrated.
"π° πππππ π'π ππππππππππ ππ πππππππ πππ πππππππππππ ππ ππππ ππ πππππ πππ."
I rolled my eyes as I turn my phone off and look ahead. The man stopped infront of a huge brown door.
"Mam we have reached. You are welcome to go inside. I will take my leave now." Saying this the man walked away leaving me alone standing in front of the big door.
I stared at the door in front of my eyes then glanced here & there but there was no sign of anyone. Total silence was spread across the corridor where I was currently standing. Once again my phone vibrated indicating I received a new message.
"π° ππ πππππππ πππ πππ."
I read the message. The unknown message sender is waiting for me on the other side of the door. I took a deep breath.
Finally I am going to meet the-- 'Anonymous messenger'
I hold the golden coloured door knob and pushed it as I entered inside.
My eyes took in the surrounding around me. Everything was neat & clean on the empty tables. Afternoon sunrays were entering in the room through the huge glass walls present on my left side. A pleasant smell was lingering in the environment probably due to the fresh flowers that were present on each of the empty tables and then my eyes caught a person sitting all alone.
It was a man. His back was facing me. I begin to walked in his direction as I carefully observed him. He was wearing a black suit. He definitely must have heard my footsteps approaching him due to the clicking sound of my heels but he didn't turn back to look at me and placidly rooted on his seat.
I passed by him and stood on the other side from him and lastly saw his face.
"I see so it's you--"
