While Karan and Adi were still staring straight into the stone like eyes of Ramesh and his father, which were filled with a raw craziness to achieve something, the rest were just looking at the four people, Adi on the agent's table, bent forward with his elbow and hands on the table, Karan on the table with one leg falling down the table while Ramesh and his father sat on the two chairs in front of the table.
"Are these guys going to continue playing let's see who can stare and keep their eyes open longer game?", Sid asked whispering while Sanju smacked his playfully. "Duffer, Shh. Focus on what's happening.", Sanju whispered back while Koel and Monu squinted their eyes trying to glare at Sanju. Koel leaned closer to Sanju and whispered into her ear, "How dare you call such an awesome actor and a cute guy a duffer?"
Sanju rolled her eyes while Sid bit his lip trying to stop his smile after listening to what Koel whispered. "Oye Sid fans, stop your fandom talks right now. Look around you at least.", Sona whisper yelled while the rest shushed up.
Karan stood up slowly and stood beside the chair Adi was sitting on. He slowly leaned closer to the two sitting ahead of his and banged his hand on the table, "Speak up now.", he yelled is a dangerous tone making the others, apart from Adi, jump in shock and fear due to the sudden action. "Or I have my ways.", Karan spoke in a low dangerous voice.
"Oh young man, relax. Breath. Too much anxiety, isn't it?", Ramesh's father smirked while Adi rolled his eyes. "Enough of your nonsense. If you do now want to start, I will.", Adi yelled while the entire room fell silent and cold.
"This photocopy of Monami's so called degree. Of pharmaceutical medicine? Not going into total details. Bottom line is that this degree states that Monami will now be eligible to study about drugs administered to humans for treatment. Application, development and research.", Adi explained while Monami stood confused. "Monami, did you ever get this degree?", Adi asked looking at Monami while she shook her head in a no.
Adi pulled out another photocopy of a degree. "This is the original copy. You. You did the study of pharmaceutical medicine Dr. Ramesh Garg. You did not do any hotel management. Why did you lie? And why did you get your original copy of your degree on Monami's name?", Adi asked while the rest looked at Ramesh you sat silent.
Karan sighed and ran his fingers through his hair while Adi fisted his palms. "I did it so that I could hide from him. And side by side get my studies done and achieve my goal sneakily. I put Monami's name so I atleast would have the copy of my degree. That's it. I couldn't keep my degrees copy at my home, but a few days back, my own degrees copy was found in the mail box which my college had sent as second copy purpose and I wasn't able to throw it away, so I tried to hide it in the drawers.", Ramesh uttered looking lost. Ramesh's father looked lost as well.
"Now will they narrate a sad story? Should I remove the suspense music to a melancholic bollywood music on my airpods?", Sid asked making everyone facepalm. "Sid Ssh, this isn't the time!", Faizi said while Sid tried to argue but stopped seeing Karan and Adi's death glares.
"Who HIM?", Karan asked stressing on the word him while Ramesh laughed dryly. "The one who you're trying to find.", Ramesh said making Karan confused. "Who? SPEAK.", Adi again yelled. "Prakash. My real father.", Ramesh said as his eyes turned red. "What?", Monami asked shocked. "Brijesh uncle is your father, right?", she asked. "Step father.", Ramesh corrected.
"Tell the us entire story.', Karan said while Ramesh nodded. "Long ago, even before I and Monami were born, our grandmothers were sisters, technically making me and Monami siblings. Our grandmothers were the daughters of a king, thus princesses. They lived there, in the mansion you guys are staying right now, in Jhansi.
At those times, Near 1930s, Britishers were all around India, while India was struggling for freedom. However, even at those times, our grandmothers and our great grandfather lived in this mansion, with no real power over the people, but 50% of the royal treasury and the palace.
