Part 16

'What happened Akash ?"asked Manorama.

"Mumma. I got a call just now from Ankush.. Arun... woo Arun" Akash sat down not able to say anything. He have tears in his eyes.

"Arun!! What happened to him ?"asked a panicked Manorama.

"Arun.. Arun is dead Mumma" said Akash crying.

"What!!" almost shouted Manorama and others too were shocked hearing it.

" But how ??"asked Manohar.

"I don't know dad. Ankush said his dead body was found in the pool" said Akash.

"Ok. Let's go" said Manohar.

"Where is Chote ? Take him too" said Dadi.

"Dadiji. Arnavji already early stating he have a meeting with one of the ministers" said Khushi.

"Ok. Then you go Manohar" said Dadi.

"I will come too"said Manorama.

"No mumma. You be here only" said Akash and left along with his father.

At the Spot:

Akash and Manohar reached the hotel. There were police jeep and media people at the hotel. Both went to the backside of the hotel where swimming pool is present.

Arun's body is brought out of the swimming pool. Akash rushed towards the body but one of the police man there stopped him.

"No one are allowed to go near the body sir" said the police.

Manohar dragged Akash back. Ajay and Ankush came near seeing them. Both are also looking soo sad.

"How did this happen ?"asked Akash.

"We too don't know Akash. Today morning the staff came to our room and informed us about this" said Ankush sadly.

" I can't believe this Akash. Arun was there with us until yesterday night. He too left after you left from here. He was too much drunk. We offered help but he denied. If we insisted and led him to his room, this might not have happened" said Ajay.

Akash saw Aman who was talking with the manager of the hotel. He went near him.

"Aman Bhai" Akash called and Aman looked at him

"Akash. What are you doing here ?"asked Aman.

"Arun is my friend." Said Akash.

"Ohh. I am sorry" said Aman.

"How did this happen ?"asked Akash.

"We are trying to figure it out" said Aman.

Just one of the police officer came to them, "Sir, ACP sir came"

Aman went with him and reached Arnav who came there hearing the news about a suicide/murder.

When Arnav came there, he saw Arun's body and was shocked.

"Arun!"exclaimed Arnav.

"Bhai."Akash came there, "See, my friend is dead"

Arnav placed an assuring hand on Akash's shoulder.

"What happened Aman ?"asked Arnav turning to Aman.

"ASR, according to the hotel staff, they found the body this morning in the pool floating. They brought him out and found him to be dead. Then, they informed the police" said Aman.

"How did he even reach here ?"asked Arnav.

"It was mystery ASR. The hotel staff is awake and the lights at the poolside is ON until midnight but they didn't find him anywhere around near here. When in the morning at 4'o clock, one of the staff found out this." said Aman.

"So, whatever have happened, it must between the mid night and 4'o clock in the morning" said Arnav and Aman nodded his head.

"Did you enquire his friends ?"said Arnav.

"Yes, they said he was with them until midnight and after that he left to his room. At the time of leaving he was heavily drunk and was staggering. His friends offered the help but he denied." Said Aman.

"Seems like in his drunken state, he came there and fell in the pool" said Arnav.

"May be ASR. I am also thinking the same" said Aman.

"OK. Now send the body for postmortem and let's see if we find anything suspicious. If not, then it is plainly accidental drowning." Said Arnav.

"OK ASR." Said Aman and went to perform the task.

Arnav came near Akash and his friends who are sitting sadly. Seeing him coming, they stood up.

"Bhai. Did you find anything who killed him?"asked Akash.

"Not yet. It seems like an accident Akash. Not murder" said Arnav.

Akash didn't said anything.

"Inform his family and now you all go to your works. The police will take the body for postmortem" said Arnav.

IN GH:

NK is in the kitchen cooking for himself when his mobile tang. He came out of the kitchen and looked at the caller.

Smiling he lifted the call, "Hello NK"

"Yes, I am talking. Say" said NK.

"That Arun is dead" said the other person on the line.

NK smiled, "Good. Our plan is successful then"

"No. Our plan was not successful. He was found in the pool dead" said the other person.

"WHAT!" said NK.

"Yeah. But just now, I got a call that he found dead in the pool by the hospital staff" said the other person.

" Hmm..Ok." said NK, " I will call you later"

"OK. I will call you as soon as I get any news again" said NK and disconnected the call.

NK stood there thinking about this caller who is helping in taking revenge from Lavanya's culprits. He went into memory lane when this person came to meet him.

It was three months that Lavanya is died. He tried to know who murdered her but couldn't due to strong of influence of someone. He left Lucknow and came back to Delhi to continue his job. Buaji and Khushi stayed back in Lucknow.

One day at night, he was alone in the home when someone knocked the door. He went and opened the door only to find a man in his mid twenties before him.

"You are NandKishore right."asked the person.

NK nodded his head, "But who are you ?"

The man entered into the house even when NK didn't welcomed and sat on the sofa.

"Please. Close the door. Come and sit here" said the person.

"But who are you ?"asked NK now irritated.

"If you want to know the culprits behind Lavanya's murder, then close the door and come, sit here" said the person.

NK was shocked hearing it. He looked at the person and found him to be trustworthy. So, he did as the person said.

"How do you know that Lavanya is murdered ?"asked NK.

"My friend expressed doubt about Lavanya's death to me. So, I tried to know what happened exactly and found out how she was killed. Then, with the help of some officers, I came to know who did it" said the person.

"But Why.. Why did you even tried to find out about Lavanya's death ?"asked NK confused.

The person choking a bit said, " I Love Lavanya."

"What!!" said NK gasping.

"Yes. I loved her and I still love her. I recently joined my father's company after completing my PG. She was an intern in our company. I liked her bubbly nature and gradually fell in love with her. I thought to propose her in that trip to Shimla but that one night ruined everything. That night, I got a call our factory in Shimla had some technical problem and I left to that place. And by morning, when I came.." the person had tears in his eyes recalling that day.

NK too had tears hearing about Lavanya's death.

The person soon composed himself, " We should not leave those criminals NK. So, I came here. I know you too are willing to know about them"

"Yes.. Who are they ?"asked NK.

"Their names are Arun, Ajay, Ankush and Akash. That Akash is Akash Singh Raizada, one of the top most reputed family of Delhi. His mother Manorama Singh Raizada is the one who called you and threatened to leave. With their influence, they made the case as ACCIDENTAL DROWNING" said the person.

"What about other's family back ground ?"asked NK.

"They are also from rich back ground but not that much influential" said the person.

"Now. What should we do ?"asked NK.

" We can't prove them as culprits so let's Kill them" said the person. NK nodded his head.

"When should we kill them ?"asked NK.

"We can't now because they all left for different countries. Their parents made sure they are away from India. So, we have to wait until they returns" said the person.

"OK. We both should in touch until then" said NK.

"OK. I will take leave now" said the person.

"Sorry. I forgot to ask your name" said NK.

"I am Karan Sharma" said Karan Sharma, who at present the brother in law of Akash Singh Raizada.
