Rukmini

Chapter 26

Unknown Person's POV & Thoughts:

The silence around me engulfed me into itself as my thoughts gathered my attention simultaneously. Shouldn't I be used to the silence ? Well, yes. I am used to it, and I like it that way. Very unusual for a person my age. People my age usually prefer vibrance.

Tomorrow will be quite a day. Finally, the one thing that I want will happen.
Finally, that girl will be completely trapped in my clutches. She was always trapped in my clutches, but tomorrow she's going to be in for it.

Tomorrow's the day when years of plotting and planning will be avenged. Many have had to die, and sacrifice for this day to come.

At last, I wouldn't have to pretend to love her. I've always hated her. I hate her so much, that I can't even bring myself to utter her name.

She's been nothing but a disgrace to the Sawant bloodline. That's what I had always tried to explain and drill into Arjun's brain, but he never wanted to accept it. Its almost like she's adulterated the bloodline with her filthy self. Even the Lord might not know why she's born !

I guess, if a boy would have been born instead of her, it would have been much better any day.
At least the boy would have been better than this worthless piece of junk that I'm unfortunately talking and thinking about.

I will finally be able to get rid of her, that too before she turns 21. What a relief !

Almost 21 years of effort will be reaped tomorrow.
I'm probably going to be the happiest person on earth.

I feel so relieved when I even say the number 21. It gives me immense pleasure to seal her fate.

Tomorrow, I would bask in the fact that I was the one who could kill her, and not anybody else in place of me.

I went back to my seat, and looked at the photo on my table.

Arjun, Me and that girl were standing together.
For a split-second, I felt a rush of a mix of anger and sadness raging through me. I just wanted to wipe that smile on her face !

Sadness, because Arjun was no longer amongst us. Again, this is all that girl's fault.

Anger, because he left me for that worthless junk.
I feel horrible as he left me, and went to live incognito just so that he would be able to help her in bringing me down. Why ? Why would anyone help her ?
Naa roop, naa ranga. Akkal tar shunyach ahe. Mulaa kaa teechyaa maage laagtat, konach thaook.
(No good appearance, no good looks. Her brain and intelligence is zero as it is. Why boys go crazy behind her is unknown.)

Arjun lived incognito for almost 3 years. Although, he used to live with her earlier as well, we were in speaking terms. But for the past 3 years, he has lived incognito ! After that, I met him just now, in her wedding. That too, because he had no option, and had to attend his "pretty princess" like sister's wedding. Had he not been there, I would have never known anything about him or his whereabouts. If he would have been with me, he wouldn't have lost his life. I guess he didn't expect something of this sort to happen.

Bloody idiot. He found out the plan and the truth about everything just after the wedding. He would have even reported the entire thing to that girl, and saved her if Rugved's mother in law wouldn't have pulled her away. Thank goodness she arrived in time !
(Rugved's mother in law is Sameera's mother, i.e. Vikramaditya's mother.)

I slammed the table in front of me as I tried to overcome a fit of rage.

It wasn't easy for me to take in the fact that Arjun died, and that too in place of that girl. Everything was according to plan, and she would have been killed earlier. If only Arjun wouldn't have come in the middle.
