XXXIX. Sending away

"In life, to protect our loved ones we push them away to ensure their safety. It is not deserting them; it's our way of  protecting them from threats."

------------------------------------

"Abhi Goenka will be dead by this time." After hearing those words my hands started trembling in fear and anger.

I suppressed the gasp that tried to escape my mouth. I felt a panic raise in my chest making it difficult to breathe; I need to stop them at any cost. I willed myself to focus on the remaining conversation and took small breaths.

"Oh, in less than a day you want to give this family another death. I totally agree with you. How are thinking of killing the great Abhi Goenka?" I heard Seema's voice and I waited patiently to listen to the complete truth.

"Car accident." After hearing that my mind flashes to my parents' accident and Vinay's accident.

"You are a really an awesome aunt. You killed Avni's parents and your husband in the same way. You are really cruel." Damini gave a menacing laugh at Seema's words.

"My dear niece. You have so much to learn from your aunt." I was confused now they were family. Damini continued speaking making me shift my focus back to her. "If possible, I will kill that Diya tomorrow, who should have not been born in the first place. Now, after their death only one final hurdle in our success." No, I can't let that happen. I will never let them harm Abhi or Diya.

"Aunt, you didn't reveal the next step. I am curious now, please do share it with me." After Seema asked the question, all heard was silence. I was running different scenarios in my head. I slowly peeked from my hidden spot and found Damini clutching Seema's throat. I didn't find anything wrong with the question Seema asked, I got more confused from Damini's actions.

Damini left her when Seema looked like she was about to faint. After Seema took heavy breaths and her face got some color, Damini held her chin and pulled her towards her face, her voice was low but I was able to make out what she said. "You may be my blood and damn me if I believe you. When that Avni confronts you, I know you will spill every detail to her and I will not risk my safety." She left her and took a step back. She rubbed her hands on her top and turned to move back towards the house, after taking two steps she turned around.

"Don't do anything, I will take care of everything and if possible try not to tell or rather speak to him. You know what will happen if you go against me." I observed Seema gulp in fear and nod her head agreeing to the later one.

I stayed there and watched them as they disappeared from my vicinity. For safety measures, I waited for some time to let them get to the house.

I started my way back to the house after feeling that they might have reached back. I was thinking of ways to stop Abhi from leaving the house for tomorrow. I knew that without any solid proof Abhi would not believe me and now I need to stop him from leaving the house tomorrow.

I was making plans or the ways to convince Abhi. I can easily convince Diya or I can definitely send Diya with Nihal along with Akky. I liked the second option better. I will ask Akky to take Diya away for tonight but I must be discreet while telling her that. I don't want Damini or her minion to find about it.

I hurried my steps. I was looking at the surroundings to see if anyone was following me. I reached the house in no time and went inside through the main door. I need to find Abhi and Akky first.

I went to Diya's room to pack her bag and hand her over to Akshaya. I didn't find Diya in her room, she might be playing with someone so I was not worried about her. I packed her bag with two pairs of clothes and the toys she can't live without. After packing her duffle bag, I sat on her bed and waited for her to come back to her room.
