M4 - Mera Mafia Mera Mahiya

Part 19

Hi guys. Hope you had fun in the previous festivities. Here is the new chapter of M4. Read to know more about the face-off between Mafia Raizadas and the guilty Guptas.

Shashi POV

It has been a month now. I have constantly been in fear of ASR. Intoxicated by the alcohol I took a hasty decision and signed a contract with the mafia lord. My debt was too much. And at that time offering Payal to ASR felt like a good opportunity. But then my stubborn daughter made it clear that she would what nothing with a man like Raizada. Unfortunately, I  paid for my mistake by fleeing from Delhi. Dubai seemed to be a good option at that time. However, the trip ended when ASRs men almost found us. Somehow we hid from them.

But after a while, Payal suggested that we could return to Delhi. Her boyfriend Akaash was kind enough to pay for a week's stay. Satisfied by Payal's advice I was now staying in a suite, away from the mobster and his men in black.

However, very soon I lost the feeling of serenity because this afternoon Arnav Singh Raizada barged inside our suite with armed men. Payal screamed profanities all the while as the man greeted me with sarcasm. Terrified for our lives I stood immobile unable to believe my eyes. But that was nothing. As I felt astonished by a  new reality. My other daughter Khushi was now a married woman. She stood before me fearless, like a queen, declaring her new status. Mrs ASR.

Nothing made sense to me. Silence. Deafening silence. For a few minutes, we all glanced at each other. And then I heard the mobster pass a comment about popcorn as he comfortably sat on the three sofa seater of the suite. My heart galloped like a fearful horse. The dark lord of the mafia world, ASR, is now my son-in-law. He used the correct word to address me. I am his Father in law.

Did this mean that he married my teenage daughter for revenge? I stared back at my little girl. She did not tremble standing next to ASR. Rather I saw a look of confidence in my adopted child's eyes. She adores this man. And with another sweeping glance, I noticed how the cold ASR switched to a warm gentleman when exchanged a look with Khushi. Nope. This does not seem like a revenge marriage.

Before I could greet my other child properly Payal chose the moment to express her negativity towards  Khushi. I sighed at her typical jealousy-fueled behaviour. Her hatred for Khushi will never end. Now my elder child will find another reason to hate Khushi.

"How can you stoop so low Khushi? You knew that we were hiding from this mobster. Still, you managed to ace your game by marrying ASR huh? You got his protection and your revenge. Nice shot."

What's wrong with this girl? She has such poisonous thoughts about Khushi. Why is it so difficult for her to digest that now Khushi is a Raizada? Payal will dig her own grave by spewing such crap against Khushi. I moved towards Payal to warn her but ASR beat me to get into her personal space. Raising his index finger near her face the man ordered in an ice-cold tone. The anger in his eyes for Khushi made me happy.

"Shut your damn mouth. By saying such stuff you are only planning more trouble for yourself. Keep in mind that your every mistake counts, Saali Gupta."
(Sister-in-law Gupta, also used as slang sometimes).

Listening to the word 'Saali' Payal went berserk while Khushi chuckled along with the man whom ASR had earlier addressed as Aryan. Seems like Khushi is familiar with all these people. This is proof that she is happy with this lifestyle.

"Did you just abuse...?"

"Nope. Are you not a Saali? Rishte mein?"
(Are we not in-laws now?)

I shook my head hearing the banter. But I knew that all his warnings were true. We are standing against an alpha wolf who is here to take revenge. We hurt his luna. That sort of emotional abuse is not something that can easily be forgotten. I gulped recalling all the stupid acts of Payal. My disregard and carelessness for such things is the reason why I am stuck in this mess in the first place. Don't know what this Raizada is planning but I am sure that he will torture the hell out of us.
