THE PRINCESS

Chapter 23

"How did he reached in Delhi?" Aliya asked.

"Actually, When that day that little boy came to maa, GunbirNanu's daughter Pinky aunty was there. She had heard what the kid had said. Maa had told her, if someone asked Maa, tell them that she was in washroom, If she took long to come, then tell them, that she was tired so had gone to sleep.. " Pragya said sipping her drink & leaning on Abhi's shoulder.

"Hmm.. When villagers were making stories on her di, Pinky aunty had shouted at them saying what the kid had told, later they found about it. But none knew GagendarNana's involvement.  ParNana got to know of maa's marriage, but he didnt knew to where they had gone.. Somehow GunbirNanu began suspecting his bade bhai, ParNana could have easily got to know of maa's whereabouts using his political power, but he asked them to not search for her, he had told that he could feel she is safe." It was Disha who told them what had happend there, after their maa left.

"It was Pinki Maasi who saw maa with Disha di, & Dadi in a Panipuri stall. Maa had been craving for Panipuri in her pregnancy period. Pinki Maasi was in Delhi with Gunbirnanu & AmritNani, She was going to her maaika as she was pregnant. In between they had stayed in Delhi, as she already had a miscarriage before so they were extra concious. But before she could go there, they had already left. She first thought it to be her veham.. But what none Knew was their driver who was GagendarNana's person, had also seen them thus informing him. Which lead them to kidnap Disha Di" Bulbul continued the story sipping from Purab's drink & exchanging her drink with him making him frown.

"They had followed Maa, but they couldnt get her details, it was a chance encounter when that person was in circus for his black money business, saw Disha Di with Dadi & took her.. They thought to use Disha Di & make maa sign her properties to him. But Baba had gone & saved her. Pinky Maasi seeing Disha Di when she was rushed to the hospital there had understood in Delhi, she actually had seen Maa"  Srishti told them.

"What was Pinky Maasi doing there in hospital?" Aliya asked her.

"Monthly check up" Disha told her.

"Disha Di's kidnapping had brought GajendarNana a big loss in his business, as his illegal gold smuggling was brought to light when police had searched the place. He had slapped & insulted that driver, who in his revenge & wanting to be in GajendarNana's good book, followed maa & stabbed her when she was in temple. Meanwhile, when PinkyMaasi's husband & family had visited her, she asked him to look for her Di in Delhi. PinkiMaasi's Jetji knew Baba, So when he had came to Delhi, maa was already stabbed & was  in labour, He had told about everything that PinkMaasi told him, they connected everything & understood it. The driver was taken care of, but they knew Baba would be in danger if they reached Maa again, so after their fight he took us.Dadi & Janki aunty knew this." Srishti told how the seperation happend.

"After a month, we shifted to Mumbai, as GajenderNanu would now look for maa in Delhi. Baba had done everything through Dadi. Baba had made my admission here , Dadi told it was through one of her friend. It was Pinky Maasi who visited me." Pragya told him how they seperated & met again.

"Baba had made many attempts to patch up, but Maa was stubborn. Everything was going smoothly, Until Di spoiled everything" Bulbul told everyone pointing at Pragya.

"Huh!" She gave a sheepish smile.

"This girl here told She was studying to be a lecturer in home & went to Oxford. There she indeed studied  mathematics, but with it studied LLB & specialised in Criminal Law. Do you know Ms.RAGA?" Bulbul asked Aliya.

"Hasnt she won award for outstanding case solving? Aliya asked her.

"Yep! Meet Ms.Raga who has her head  layed on a certain Rockstar" Srishti said to her.
