Hello people ! Hope you guys are doing well

I'm back with an update and this time please keep your hearts safe to witness some revelations in coming chapters 😉😄

Note : how does it feel to stay away from your loved one ? Is it easier to stay away ?

Let's see !

Title : The mystery

They drove back to Jayati Jewelers and reach their security surveillance room in the store. He asks the person to show him the footage of a particular date and time.

K : " hum store kyun aye hein aur ye kya lar rahe ho tum ?"

F : " ek min chup raho tumhe sab samjha dunga kirti "

The man shows him the footage and the strange man who entered the store when they were leaving was caught. As farhad believed, he was behaving strange and his attire was weird. The envelope which he was holding had some similarities with previous letters RR received ( no sender address letters ). Farhad noticed that while leaving the store he carried some bag with him with Jayati Jewelers logo on it.

After the footage, kirti saw Farhad's face as if asking him to explain the situation.

Farhad takes her to his cabin so that no one can disturb them for a while, when he will be discussing things with kirti.

K : " tum kuch bologe bhi "

F : " dekho kirti, uss dinn jab hum deal sign karne ki khushi mein bahar jaa rahe theiy, mein ne ek admi ko andar aate hue dekha tha .... Mujhe usi dinn vo banda ajeeb laga par mein ne ignore kiya. Aaj jab footage dekhi toh samajh aya ki, uss bina address ke letters ke admi se kuch kuch na rishta hoga iss admi se varna vaise hi ek envelope leke ye aata nai Anna ke paas "

K : " ye bina address ke envelopes ka kya chakkar hein ?"

F : " Anna ko bohot dinon se aise letters aa rahe hein jahan pe vahini ko, mera matlab hein pallavi ji ko harm karne ki dhamkiyan di jaa rahi thi ..... Iss liye Anna ne ek private security agency se ek spy ko hire kiya tha jo pallavi ji par dooor se nazar rakh paye .... Vo spy har roz Anna ko updates deta tha. Uss dinn jab tum ne Anna ke adhe adhure meeting ko pura kiya, vo vaje hi ye thi ki pallavi ji ne phone kiya tha Anna ko aur kaha tha urgently mile. Jab hum vahan gaye toh bohot chot ayi thi unko. Unhone kaha ki unhe loi 2-3 dinn se follow kar raha tha aur uss dinn bus se dhakel diya. Anna bohot darr gaye theiy aur usi silsile mein unn donon ka jhagda ho gaya. Par uske baad inn 12 dino mein vo poore badal gaye hein. Mujhe lagta hein ki iss badlaav ke peeche ye aadmi ka raaz jaroor hoga "

Kirti who was in deep thought while listening to farhad, was getting some dots connected to feed her doubts.

F : " kirti ?"

K : " haan !"

F : " kahan kho jati ho yaar tum ? Jo mein ne kahan vo tumne suna bhi ya nahin?"

K : " nai farhad, kho nai gayi, soch rahi thi bas aur fikr mat karo mein ne suna jo tumne bola. Hum logon ko na uss spy ko dhoondhna padega jahan se ye sab kuch hua hein. Humein uss bande se bohot kuch information mil sakta hein "

F : " ummmm..... Mein ne toh ye socha hi nai. Good one kirti. Chalo security agency chalte hein vahan kuch na kuch,mil hi jayega "

K : " chalo "

At Deshmukh emporium :

Krishna rushes into the emporium and sees pallavi handling customers.

She goes straight to her taking over the job of handling them

After the customers leave, pallavi questions krishna for being late.

P : " ye kya hein krishna .... Tum itna late toh kabhi nai aati aur ye teesri baar hein hafte mein. Ho kya gaya hein tumhe ?"

K : " kuch nai didi bas ghar ke kaam ke vaje se ye sab ho raha hein "

P : " tu sach bol rahi hein na ?"

K : " haan didi "

P : " teekh hein .... Vo order khatam karna hein na, kapda khatam hogaya hein mein abhi pramod anna ko order deke aati hun "

K : " okay didi !"

Pallavi leaves the shop and krishna breathes a sigh of relief. She receives a call and she answers it.

K : " baal baal bach gayi mein ..... Varna aaj toh didi mujhe pakad hi leti "

Other person ( o ) : " vo admi ke baare mein kuch patah chala ? "

K : " haan vo aaj raat ko 7 baje galli ke nukkad pe ek hotel hein vahan pe aane vala hein kisi se milne .... Mein shop se nikal ke seedha vahi pahuch thi hun"

O : " teekh hein ... Aur kuch ?"

O : " haan .... Vo har hafte shukrvaar ko kisi mujrim se milne jaati hein jail mein. Aaj bhi aane vaali hein.... Mein tumhe baad mein update deta hun "

K : " teekh hein ..... Didi aati hogi, mein rakhti hun, Chalo bye !"

O : " bye !"

RR Mansion:

He was constantly rocking on the arm chair thinking of the conversation he had with deshmukh couple. He very well knew that she loved him and so did he know that she acknowledges his care towards her but the things were not so easy as it seemed to be.

His brain took him back to the day when she asked him to go away from her sight.

Flashback :

He knew that he was wrong in calling her selfish but his intention behind it was not the same. He was worried and bit angry.

He returned to the store and was in cabin when a weird dressed man entered his cabin with an envelope. He was shocked to receive the letter through a man instead.

This showed how much his opponent has grown confident enough to send his messenger directly.

He tried to question the person in his way but stopped when he showed a video to him

Man ( M ) : " video dekhne ke baad tum jaise shaane log samjh gaye honge ki mujhe kharoch bhi aya toh uss insaan ka haal kya hoga ?"

RR : " unhe kuch mat karo .... Bolo kya karna hein ab ?"

M : " boss ka envelope padho aur mujhe abhi ke abhi 10 lakh do "

RR : " das lakh !?"

M : " uss video vale insaan ko chudwane ke liye itna bhi nai karoge ?"

RR : " mujhe thoda waqt do, paise arrange karne ke liye "

M : " lagta hein uski jaan pyaari nai hein tumhe ... Teekh hein ...."

RR : " nai nai, bas adha ghanta waqt do mein paise mangwaunga "

M : " usse zyada nai milegi time "

RR : " teekh hein "

Raghav then calls someone and in 20 mins he gives a suitcase full of money to the man in front of him.

M : " god job RR! Bas apne hadh mein reh kar boss ki baat suno.... Varna tumhe pata hi hoga ki kya kya ho sakta hein tumhare saath.... Good bye !"

RR : " magar unhe ghar tak ..."

M : " 15 mins mein vo ghar mein honge "

RR : " agar nai hui toh?"

M : " samajh lena ki paise bhi vapas aa jayenga store ko "

RR : " teekh hein "

After the man leaves, RR calls someone and asks them to inform if the person is back home safely. 15 mins later, he receives a call that the person is back home. He breathes.

The envelope without address had a letter which he opens and reads. It read,

" Mere pyaare dost,

Apne aap par itna bhi itraya nai karte ki khud hi jaake kisi ke jaal mein phas jao. Kyunki tumhara dushman, koi kachha khiladi nahi hein. Tumne badi hi asaani se meri chitti ko badal diya pallavi ke shop se par kya tum ye soch paye ki mein ne kaunsa tareeka apnaya hein usse tumhare raaz ke baare mein batane ka ? Nahi !

So sad! Achha hota agar tum letter ko phadhte nai aur actual mein dekhte ki kya tha usmein.

Koi nai! Tumhe ek aur mouka deta hun.... Kal shaam ko 4 baje sheher ke bahar shroff hospital mein aake mil lo Dr. Bakshi ko. Vo tumhe samjha denge kya hein."

He was shocked to hear the hospital name. The flashes of a deadliest night appeared infront of his eyes and he started sweating very badly. His fingers shook after reading the letter. He also recalled Farhad's words to see what was there in the letter which pallavi got on that day. Ignoring Farhad's words always costed him badly and this was one of the proofs of it. Shit !

The thing which was not sitting right in place was,

How did someone get to that hidden thing ?

How can someone know about that hospital?

How did the matter leak ?

He makes a phone call to Mansion and asks the staff to keep the waste collected from his study ready for him to check.

He gives some instructions at the store in how to manage if someone comes to the store with big orders. He asks sophie to look after his cabin in his absence and leaves.

In 20 mins, he comes to mansion and walks straight to his office study. Ramesh was there with the house waste of 2 days. Raghav starts searching for the letter that he crushed by throwing out all the waste out of the trash cover with his own hands. The desperation to find the letter made him to search for it madly.

But alas ! He did not find it. He shouts at the staff and they inform him that they only keep the waste for 2 days. He recalls that he received the letter 3 days ago. He cursed himself for not listening to farhad that day. He had no choice left than to go to the hospital the next day according to the letter.

Later in the night, he keeps walking around his room worrying about what could be there in the letter.

Did he write to pallavi about that night?

But how is she related to it ?

Why will someone involve pallavi in this matter ?

And why is someone trying to harm her ?

What is this stupid puzzle which i am not able to solve ?

While he was thinking all the possibilities, he recieves a call. Looking at the caller ID he gets tensed up. He immediately lifts it up

R : " Hello ! Aap teekh toh ho na ? Kuch hua toh nai ? "

" Mein tumse milna chahti hun "

R : " mein abhi aata hun"

RR rushes out of the mansion, takes his car and drives to an apartment.

He knocks the door and she opens it.

R : " Amma ! Nuvvu baane unnava !? Emaindi !? "

( Maa, are you okay !? What happened ? )

The person who was in the video, who called RR in the night was none other than Jaya Rao. She saw RR being worried and let him in the house. She sat there with RR infront of her.

A : " malli em tappu chesav ra ? "

( what mistake you did again ? )

RR : " Amma ?"

A : " evaru ra Nannu teeskellina vallu ?"

( Who are those who took me ? )

RR : " teleedu amma "

( I don't know amma )

A : " mari idanta enti ?"

( Then what is all this ? )

RR : " ade alochistunna amma "

( That's what I'm thinking amma )

A : " pallavi involved hein kya ?"

RR was shocked to hear that. How did she knew about pallavi being involved in this.

RR : " kaise amma ? "

A : " jab unhone pakad ke rakha tha, vo log baat karra tha ki pallavi ko takleef pahunchane ka hein agar tum kuch raasta bhatke toh ...."

RR : " kya ? "

A : " haan.... Mein tumhe warn karta hun ki tum dooor hi raho usse taaki tumhari waje se usse ko takleef na ho, ardam ainda?"

RR : " par amma ..... Mein usse protect kar sakta hun... Mein ne kiya bhi hein... Aur mein patah lagane ki koshish kar raha hun ki kaun hein iske peeche ...."

A : " mein kuch nai jaanti Raghav ! Tum bas usse dooor hi raho. Mein nai chahti ki humare vaje se usse koi takleef ho...."

RR : " amma mein bhi toh vahi chahta hun.."

A : " mein ye kehna chahta tha ki aaj mere saath aisa hua hein yoh kal ko uske saath bhi ho sakta hein.... Mein ek aur maut ka bojh nai utha sakta Raghav ! "

RR was silent after listening to the last lines.
He was sad that even today his mom doesn't believe him. Of course ! He didn't prove his innocence in front of her all these years and did not give her any situation where she could believe him. Such a fantastic fate !

He just left the apartment and drove back to his mansion. All night he was drowned in alcohol and thoughts. All the situations of his past were haunting him and he was so disappointed that he slept on the floor in drunken state.

Flashback ends•••••••

The words of his amma from that day were recalled by him today while he was rocking on the armchair.

' ek aur maut ka bojh '

He thought that she was right. Even he cannot afford the death of someone very close to his heart. Not pallavi for sure, that woman who has become an important part of his life.

He just closed his eyes in disappointment and whispered one name ONLY.

"PALLAVI"

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

As if a response to his calling, she startled from her bed calling out his name,

" RAO "

She saw herself and realised that she had fallen asleep on the floor with her fist closed and near to her heart. She stood up, looked at herself in mirror and saw a pale face.

What has she done to herself ?

Why did a person shook her whole existence in such a way that she was not able to think of anything ahead....

Why ?

Why only me ?

Just then a knock was heard on her door and she tried to compose herself so that no one should try to guess that she was crying.

She walked to the door and opened it.

P  : " tum ?"
