Chapter 17 (Part - 2)

Arjun's point of view.
Thursday, At 10:00 pm.

When we reached at boat I saw happiness on Bhoomi's face and I felt as my plan was working easily. Kavita, Rahul, Bhoomi.. and all contestants were happy and enjoying the party.
I was satisfied by looking them happy but then just the next moment I got reminded of some moments on beach while we were playing that game. And with that I did not even realized when I crossed the boundary of my childhood memories.
Suddenly all memories started flashing in my mind and it consumed the pain of guilt too. I became very yearning and sorrows started to surround me. I felt very lonely and gloomy. I felt as I'm an assassin and I don't have any right to live happy life.
After that I went away from all and stood alone at the grills. Far away from lights, brightness, happiness and all.
I felt my same dark struggling past but her appearance dragged me back to the reality.
But then I felt as she was tensed at that time. Something was bothering her and I tried to ask her about that. But she was feeling hesitated to talk with me. And then I started to speak my own things.
I urged to convince her but I don't know when I started to tell her my own pain and dilemma.
"While I came here before I took all of the rides. But at that time I did it for harming myself." "I.. opened the safety belts when I was in Parasailing. I snatched oxygen mask while I was underwater for diving. And I.. drove my Jet on dangerously high speed for hurting myself. But every time Shiv saved me and resisted to hurt myself." Unconsciously I continued with my hidden past as my blank gaze was fixed on waving water.
"You must be thinking that, Why I did that, right?" I asked in my rage and anger by looking at her but she just silently stared me.
"Yes, I did that for scourging myself and for my atonement. I just wanted to die in that days. But I knew when my family will come to know about my suicide plan they will get hurt by me. And I did not wanted to hurt them. So I made a new plan to kill myself. I tried to die accidentally. But my bad luck that did not worked for me anytime." I said as my voice contained sorrow and pain.
"That.. was not your bad luck. It was your fortune that you are still safe after many accidents." I felt a soft touch on my arm as she said to me. And I turned to see her face.
"Yes It was my fortune but it has became a curse for others." I said as my eyes was still on her.
"I know its hard to forget all miseries and pain but please try to forgive yourself." She said in low deep solemn voice as I could clearly see anxiety for me in her eyes.
And then she suddenly turned down her eyes on her beg and put her hand in her beg.
"And I'm sure, he would be very helpful for you in this." Bhoomi said in soft sweet voice as she took my right hand in her and reverently put a small beautiful idol on my palm.
"The way, I will be always there when you need to talk with me but while I will not there, then you could tell your all problems and perplexities to Ganesha. Perhaps he couldn't come to you but he could definitely take your worries away." Gently she wrapped my fingers on idol with her and said in sweet beautiful voice as I saw devotion and belief in her eyes for Ganesha.
As I saw the murti of Ganesha my past memories again lighten up in my mind. I still remembered while we used to celebrate Ganesha festival in my childhood days. Me and dada made speed Modak (Maharastriyan traditional sweet) eating race. We celebrated the days with full of joy, happiness and reverence. Dada had great faith on Ganesha and always liked to tell stories of Ganesha to us.
"Thank you.! Did you brought this gift for me ?" Simply I asked.
"No, This is the blessings given by my Aai." She answered in low voice as she faithfully touched her pendent which was hanging in her neck.
Then I saw a small smile spread on her lips And by watching her like that I also felt a smile on my lips too.

At 11:45 pm.

After long root by boat finally I walked to my bedroom. I was feeling calm after speaking with Bhoomi but yet I was worried about her. I want to know why she was upset at that time. And what was the issue which made her uneasy.
As I was thinking about her I quickly changed to my comfortable night clothes, my black tracks and dark blue cotton jersey. And laid down on bad.
But I did not felt asleep because of my worries. Whenever my past revealed again and again in front of me that night I have to take my medicine for sleeping.
Eventually, I became flurried and got up from bed. I quickly walked to my luggage and tried to find my medicine. I tried to find in my all begs but I found nothing.
Then I went to my party clothes and checked for medicine. But then I reminded that I forgot my medicine. And my realization made me hyper and temper started to grow up in my mind. At that moment suddenly I felt something hard and cool against my fingers as I slipped my hand in jeans's pocket and I pulled it out.
It was the Ganesha idol which Bhoomi gave me while we were talking. By watching that idol her sweet soft voice eco in my mind which gave the straight way to my temper.
At the very next moment I went to my bed and placed the Ganesha on the side table beside my bed. I laid down by my chest on bed as I looked at the idol.
"Namastey Ganesha ji.! She told me that if I tell you my worries and problems then you will definitely going to help me. And my dada.. He was always believed in you. But now he is not with me to explain all things about you. I.. hope wherever he is, he will just stay happy as he was. Please take care of my brother and all good people, specially Bhoo..mi." I mumbled in my low tired voice as my sleepy gaze was fixed on Ganesha. And while I was talking with Ganesha I felt asleep and I didn't got any idea when I went into the cozy sleep.

Kavita's point of view.
Next day.
Friday, At 10:30 am.

I woke up in early morning as my routine. But today I felt little bit guilty because of my rude behavior with Bhoomi and Arjun.
My mind was filled with uneasiness and guilt when I seat on couch in living room.
"Good morning, di.!" Bhoomi said in her cheerful sweet voice and she seat on couch nearby me.
"Good morning, Bhoomi.! It is good that you came. I want to talk with you." I said in low calm tone as I managed to gave her a small hesitated smile.
"And I want to say something to you, di." "This is for you." Sweetly she said as she gently placed a beautifully wrapped box on my hands.
"I'm Sorry di.! I shouldn't have to do that last day. I should have given regard to your talks but w..hat did I do, I'm feared of all that rides."
"Shhuu... stay quite. That's okay, Bhoomi. I'm not annoyed with you." I interrupted before she could continue herself and gently hugged her.
"That means you have forgiven me ?" She asked happily as she pulled back and place her hands on mine.
"No, I was never have been angry with you. I was just jealous with Arjun. He took you from me, that's not fair. I wanted to enjoy with you, After all you are my team mate. But no, he wanted to become hero all the time." I said in sad tone to explain my conditions to Bhoomi.
"I didn't wanted to go with Mr. Arjun. But What could I done, he forcefully took me with him. And I couldn't resist him. Sorry di..!" She said in nervous flattered tone as she looked at me.
"Calm down, girl. I understand your condition." "But you know what, That was really awesome what he done to you, otherwise you could missed all enjoyment and fun." I said in cool happy tone as a bright smile appeared on my lips.
"What are you talking, di.! Now you are also taking his side." Shyly she said.
"Yes, I'm. After all we are seniors to you." "But Next time you have to go for ride with me, Okay.?" I said by looking at her face. And I saw big bright smile on her face when she heard my voice.

At 12:30 pm.

After me and Bhoomi got ready for lunch we reached at hotel's dinning hall where Arjun was already seat on his table.
All we three of us were enjoying our lunch together and at the next moment I saw Shiv who walked to us from behind Arjun. He wanted to give surprise to Arjun. So he gestured me for staying quite.
"Hello brother..!" Shiv said in happy cheerful voice as he suddenly put his hands on Arjun's shoulder.
"Shiv.! Happy to see you, brother. How are you ?" Arjun said in excited tone as he happily turned to him and quickly get up from chair. And he gave brotherly tight hug to Shiv.
"I have one more surprise for you, brother. Hey, friend come in." Shiv said with unstoppable smile as he stepped back.
And with the next moment his friend entered in front of Arjun. He was dressed in dark green suit and trouser with light green shirt. And he had wore black long shoes in his feets.
"Hey, Buddy.! After long time ha.!" He greeted as he hugged Arjun and at that moment I was shocked by looking his face.
I was really shocked and disturbed by him. He is the same man who betrayed me. Who gave me life long pain.
"Yes, But you didn't changed at all." "By the way, Friends meet my friend Arman, Arman Saxena." Arjun said with happy smiling face and introduced him to us.
At that time I felt like I was in my nightmare. But I couldn't wake up from it and I was compelled to suffer this nightmare.
"Me and Arjun were in same college and we were roommates too." He said with calm smiling face as nothing was happened between us.
"By the way, Hello.!" He quickly done handshake with Bhoomi and slowly stretched his hand in front of me. He stared at me as I saw poisonous smirk appeared on his lips.
I really hate his insolent smirk. And wanted to slap him for his really insolence behavior. But I stayed calm.
"Namastey.!" Roughly I said by joining my hands together and refused to shake his hand.
"Hey, why we are standing here like this! come on brothers sit down." Shiv said with smiley face.
"Excuse me, I have to go. Actually I have to do an important call." I said in hesitated tone for avoiding to do lunch with him.
After that I get up from my chair and angrily walked away from them. My mind started to flash the memories of my fluctuated past in front of my eyes as my numb slow steps took me to the our room.
