Mr. and Mrs. Trehan Chronicles

Battling it for Mumbai

Part Seven

Viraj and his men were stationed outside the old factory where Kavya's tracker had let him.

He knew Manhor Chauhan would make a big deal about having Kavya as his captive. He just hoped the plan would work itself out where the tables would turn away from Manhor and the ball would land in his court.

Years ago Manhor kept winning against his parents. This time he would defeat him for good.

DNA results had come back.

It turns out he was Shamsher's son after all. His mother had thought he was Zovar's son all these years biologically anyway.

Viraj suspected baba's infertility assumption had also had been planned by his uncle.

However the fact remained that Zovar had also raped his mother because her own brother had planted that scoundrel in their lives all those years ago.

Time to turn the tide.

Viraj and his men went in to fight their way to whoever was in charge .

" Tumare paas meri biwi hai lekin main Mumbai bhi control leker he rakunga," Viraj quipped to men there.

"Tu tum agaye ," Manhor declared as he appeared in his view.

" Namaste nahin bolunge nahin aaya hoon Mamaji," Viraj hissed.

"Haan bahu rani toh humare paas hai. Don't worry we are taking good care of her. Tumari biwi jo tehri," he retorted.

" Accha khayal?"

" I highly doubt that. Let's get to the point, what will it take for you to let her go without harming her?"

" I like it. Your so called father never got to the point. He kept wavering for that deal I wanted him to sign. Then he died and poor Mandhira had to give up everything Papa wanted her to have, to me. I don't know why he favored her over me," he pondered.

" I am disgusted how you treated my mother. But I must say your planning has been impeccable," Viraj commented.

" Well since we are having a grand time here. We should get your wife to join us. I will have Benny and Taz escort her over to us. Let's make this a mini family reunion. It is a ashame my sister couldn't join us to see both of you yearning for each other until both die here together," Manhor stated.

Meanwhile..

Kavya got lose from her bonds.

She surreptiously opened the small folded map.

The stupid goons had left her phone nearby and she was able to use whatever battery was left to light up the layout of the area.

She knew she only had a few minutes.

" Sir we went back to where we tied her up. She is gone," Taz reported a few moments later.

Manhor looked at Viraj as he came over and lit his cigarette.

"Mamaji did I say your planning was impeccable all those years ago? But I think you missed a major detail in your planning ," he said calmly.

Viraj was entirely too calm for someone whose wife was being held captive and for someone about to die himself.

An explosion went off some feet away.

The abandoned factory was surrounded by some old rubble.

It was about to come down on all of them.

Viraj smirked as his men tackled a few of Manhor's men.

Everything happened quickly. In a matter of minutes , most of Manhor's men were stuck under rubble.

Viraj and some of his men emerged out of the mess and headed outside to survey the area.

Manhor made it out of the rubble.

" I didn't get to kill you in front of your wife. Oh well guess she died trying to escape ," he said with glee.

Viraj gave him a stone cold glare.

Again his arrogant uncle had no clue regarding the point he had tried to make before.

In the dust of the early morning dusk, Mrs. Kavya Viraj Trehan emerged.

Manhor stood confused and forlorn for a moment.

She was bruised and had dirt scattered on her clothes and hair, but it was Kavya for sure.

How did she escape the cave in was beyond his comprehension.

" Yeh kaisi bach gi?"

" Planning Mr. Chauhan. Anyways I think since you are apparently without any backup. You can surrender to the conditions Viraj is about to state. That is correct, not asking or bargaining, because the chip you were planning to possible use, is already free ," she declared.

Viraj had to remain objective.

If he turned to face her now, he would falter.

He knew she risked her life for this mission. She didn't have to participate . But he internally vowed she would be able to fulfill the dreams she had been held back from. The last few months had been filled with revelations and heartbreaks.

Time to let her live a close to normal life as possible. Even if he had to let her go, But she had returned to him despite all his attempts.

No he would take a different approach this time.

Let her make her move.

If she wanted to make things work, together they would stay. She just proved to be his ACE card after all.

Now he turned to his forlorn mamaji and he started conversation of what come to be.

When Viraj Trehan took a stance, he wasn't one to back down .

Within the hour all demands would be met.

A bullet went into Manhor Chauhan's head later that day.

Mandhira Trehan was given the honors.
