Laksh looked up and wiped the little blood near his lips and looked up at the man who was smirking looking down.

"Oh Mr. Hot shot businessman lost his breath" he spoke and Laksh smirked.

"Right time Rudr" he patted the person's shoulder and walked past the man who lying on the floor.

Swara carefully looked at the hidden camera again. 

"Maa... " she called Annapurna cheerfully. Annapurna who was near the dining table looked at her confused.

"I am bored" she pouted. "Hey bhagwan we are worried for your husband here and you are saying you are bored?" asked Parinita.

"Oh please Bhabi. As if your worry is gonna bring back my husband sooner" Swara rolled her eyes. 

"But it will affect the baby if I'm sad" she turned to her mother in law.

"Yes...Swara don't be sad. We can't take risk with the baby" Annapurna caressed her cheek lovingly.

"I was thinking how about we play something?" she asked and all looked at her confused.

"We will play hit the ball" she took the rubber ball and showed them

"What do you think we are?" Parinita asked shocked.

"Boring housewives" she looked at Parinita unamused.

"But beta if your Sasur ji saw us what will he think?" Annapurna asked worried.

"We will stop when Papa comes. It's okay to break the rules some times" she looked hopeful at her mother in law caressing her belly.

Annapurna assumed may be it was her craving.

She agreed.

"There chachi..." Swara pointed at the hanging flowerpot when they were at the middle of the game.

"Swara that's too high" Annapurna said.

"Na Jeeji. I have practice of hitting the mangoes in my granny's home" Sujata assured and aimed at the flowerpot.

She aimed it in one shot and Swara smirked when the small red light went off.

'There goes the last eye' she thought in her mind.

"Okay maa. I'm tired now. I will sleep for some time" Swara faked her tiredness and walked up the stairs.

She was about to call Sanskar but stopped.

"But Jeth ji told two hours. I still have half an hour. So better not call him before that" she placed her phone back on the side table.

Rajat took the puff of the cigar his brother handed him.

They sat around the dusty table relaxing.

"You know you have been one of our best recruit" Rudr smirked at Laksh.

"Well what can I say. I have always proved myself worthy to right people" Laksh shrugged his shoulder.

Kavya handed him a glass of whiskey and he took it clinking it against her glass and gulped down in a go.

"What inspired you to go against your brother?" asked Rajat.

"I was habituated to luxury and him being the part of family meant I will miss all the privilage. All these days I already had to share the fortunes with Adarsh Bhai. And now with Sanskar also. My patience had worn out" he bent his head at the side.

"So I had to get rid off him. So that's where I planned it so many years ago. But failed. I got a chance again when he trusted me that I am no where involved in it I got one more chance" he looked at his brother.

"And it was more easy when I got to know that Rajat is alive and he visited my office" he looked at Rajat who smirked.

"I bet you are good opportunist" Kavya stated.

"I can't disagree on that" he agreed.

"Well thanks man. You helped me when I was at last moment intimated to kill Ragini" Rajat took one more puff out of his cigar.

Rudr flinched. He was still pissed off.

"I told you I don't miss my chances" he nodded his head.

"How did you gain the confidence of your so called intelligent Bhabi?" Kavya made an unpleasant face.

"Now do you really think she is intelligent?" Laksh looked at her.

"It was easier than luring my brother to trust me"he confessed.

"And when I showed her the picture of her husband coming out of the building she had no option than trusting me. She could not keep her mind sane once she saw it" Laksh chuckled.

"Can we just stop?" Rudr spoke.

"Sure bro. Sorry we were inconsiderate of your sour heart" Kavya mocked rolling her eyes.

"When all this is done sister. You have to call her bhabi don't forget" Rudra reverted.

"If she stays alive" Kavya snapped.

"As far as I am seeing her only saviour is bleeding here on the ground" Kavya looked at Sanskar.

"I am not gonna let her die. You better stop wishing for it" Rudr warned his sister.

"Okay calm down Rudr. Hopefully you will save her from whatever she will be going through" Laksh tried to calm them down.

Swara was too anxious. She thought of taking one more tour of the house to check if she had missed any of the cameras after successfully dismantling three of them in the living room.

Taking slow steps she roamed across the mansion looking into her phone and observing the images of the things rather than looking directly.

She wasn't wrong. There was one more camera in the living room just behind the flower pot on the small table between the couches.

She thought for a while how to dismantle it.

She saw Parinita sitting on the couch and watching the TV.

"Bhabi catch" she cried throwing the ball to her. The ball hit the vase and landed on Parinita.

"Have you lost it Swara?" Parinita asked panting for breath.

"It was fun" Swara giggled and then looked at the time.

Five minutes.

She walked towards her room.

"Swara... " Sujata cried when she saw her missing the step. Luckily she held the railing and steadied herself.

"Swara are you okay?" Sujata approached her and Annapurna came there worried.

"What happened?"she asked looking at them.

"She missed her step" Sujata caressed Swara's forehead.

"I am fine" she breathed.

"Come" Annapurna started to take her down.

"No Maa. I told right I am good. I want to go to my room" She said annoyed. Annapurna who was taken aback looked startled.

Swara walked to her room shutting the room door loudly.

***.****

A message ring played on a phone.

"How much time are we going to wait here. Let's dispose his body shall we?" Rudr placed the glass he was as drinking whiskey and stood up.

"Yeah sure" Rajat threw the last piece of the cigar getting up.

"I will help too" Laksh stretched his hands.

They all walked towards the place where Sanskar was lying. He still was breathing slowly coughing.

****.***

Swara relaxed when the message was out of her mobile. She turned to look at the cover of the mobile.

"This is such a cute cover Laksh gifted me" She hugged her phone.

Rudr moved Sanskar's head with his leg.

Laksh smirked looking at his brother's lifeless body which was losing the breath second by second.

"Tch... Tch... " Rudr sat beside Sanskar's face.

"So much you tried to be better than me Mr. Maheshwari and where are you now?" he smirked.

"Near my shoes. The right place you belong" he pointed at his legs.

"Don't you worry about Ragini. I will take care of her. And will make sure she will forget you soon. Very soon" he nodded his head.

Sanskar felt a sudden jolt at his words and left a heavy breath which moved some dust particles.

"Last breath powers?" Rudr chuckled.

"Let's not waste more time Rudr" Rajat spoke.

Rajat held the legs and Rudr head and they were ready to lift Sanskar.

"What are you waiting for Laksh?" asked Rajat looking up.

"Um... Let's talk first" he looked at both of them and they gave him a confused look.

In the next instant Rajat felt a heavy blow just below his chin. Before Rudr can understand what was happening he was in air. His neck in someone's grip.

He looked down to see the person's face finally and found the last person he expected to see holding his neck right now.

He struggle even to pronounce the name.

"Only you know to fake death?" Laksh took the duplicate knife which had fallen on the ground and moved it's sharp edge in and out.

Rudr's eyes bulged out as the hold on his neck tightened.

"If you don't tell me where is my wife right now you are going to lose both of your brothers"

Kavya saw horrified as her brothers were struggling to breath.

Her mind was blank.
