49 The culprit

Part 49 The culprit

Akash was trying from all directions to reach Arnav. He contacted all the dealers and agents of AR in Mumbai but no one knew about Arnav's arrival that made Akash worried. Though Arnav didn't have close friends he has a big friends circle in the business field. Akash didn't know who sent the photos and the recording to him and he didn't know how many persons have the photos. What if anyone says Arnav about Bolinath and his plan of killing him? Akash wanted to tell Arnav before anyone took lead. He didn't want Arnav to misunderstand him but how to reach him? Arnav never switches his mobile off except one time. His mobile was unreachable when he met with an accident. Don't know why he is keeping his mobile switched off.

"Bhai said he is going to Mumbai for a deal. Then why did he switch his mobile off?" Akash murmured.

Whatever... he has to do something before the matter reaches Arnav's ear. He couldn't tolerate if Arnav suspects him. Akash came to the conclusion and decided what to do.

Bolinath Villa

Bolinath stood from the couch, seeing Payal throwing some photographs on him. He got horrified, seeing the photos. He understood that when the photographs could be captured. He gulped down hard, seeing Payal so wrathful. He composed himself.

"From where did you get these photos, Payal? It seems new to me. I have never seen them..." Bolinath said casually.

Payal ran the recording she got, making Bolinath speechless.

"Why are you silent now? Give some excuse for this recording too..." she shouted.

"This is not true, Payal..." Bolinath tried to make her believe.

"Stop it, Dad... I'm not a kid to trust your words... why do you doing this? Why the hell did you try to kill Arnavji?"

"For you're and Akash's betterment... until Arnav is alive, Akash won't get recognized. He would be a servant of his brother. Why would he? What's necessary to work for Arnav when he is capable to rule the empire?"

"I can't believe this... who is making a decision about who's an empire? Who are you to conclude about Arnavji's property? It's his hard work... no one could stand... not even Akash..."

"Don't be stupid Payal. We should not miss the chance when we have a chance to rule the empire"

"What do you mean by CHANCE? Chance to kill Arnavji?"

Bolinath was silent.

"I'm shocked, Dad... I didn't expect my father could be a murderer. Do you know what have you caused in my family? Do you know how broken Akash was when Arnavji met with an accident? Akash didn't even eat properly..."

"What did he gain being lovable to his brother?"

Before Payal answered to him, they heard,

"Why would I tell you that?"

They saw Akash standing wrathfully. Payal bowed down, seeing him.

"What did you ask? What I gained being loveable to my brother? Being lovable to my brother is what I gained... a cruel man like you won't understand that..."

"Akash..."

"Just stop it... you have lost the respect I had in my heart for you... you are cheap..."

"Akash, please... I did everything for you"

"Who the hell asked you to do that? Who gave you the right to do that? who are you to make a decision in our lives? Did you think I'm impotent?"
