I remember your voice

Part 4

Shiva is not a god up there above but a living presence here - sadguru

it took them 5 minutes alone to walk to the main door from the main gate of the mansion,

every time she is here she thought to herself about what only two people could do in this big ass house, Mr. Malhotra was the owner of a number of clubs and casinos, what in the world this man doesn't have, a big business that makes millions every year, 10 houses in a different part of countries, bank balance unlimited, she was not sure that even he had any idea how much money he has in his accounts but most of them are from illegal works, he is a corruptionist and also deals with drugs in name of clubs most of the rich people's spoiled sons and daughters are found wasted or high in his clubs in the evening but his son left him and decided to live alone due to these reasons strange how a man who is ruining everyone's kids future his own son is so matured and distant from these things , she only heard about him and never actually meet him although she knew that it wouldn't make any difference cause she can't still see him but she heard about him a lot

Mr. Malhotra although might be a devil for his own son but came into devika's life when god walk out when she left with nothing and even her own eyes betrayed her he was the only one who see potential in a blind lawyer and gave her first case when she becomes blind and gave U turn to her career

" Come this way Mr. Malhotra has been waiting on you'

she might be rita their old housemaid, Mr. Malhotra likes to keep long-term relationships with everyone for the last 7 years she has been always the one welcoming them although Devika can't see her face she was sure she might be holding a huge smile on her face, she leads them to lobby although she knew that meera already know the way, might be part of her duty

"congratulation on your one more winning"

the deep voice welcome her in a cheerful manner, Mr. Malhotra always treated her like his daughter, and always celebrated with her although she have this huge boundary with everyone

" well it's not a new thing, you always win "

he said and Meera help devika to sit

'it's just all thanks to you sir"

Devika replied

"I heard that you were the one who recommended me"

She replied in the same joyful manner he was talking to her

'do I even need to recommend you, you are always on the news, who don't know you, everyone around me keeps asking me to recommend them to you, you know your demand is quite high in the market, you can't see otherwise you would have seen jealousy on the face of other lawyers regularly"

the only thing devika liked about him was that he never treated her differently just because she was blind, he talks casually to her like it was not a big deal being blind, as if it is a mere temporary illness from which she can recover anytime

"well jokes apart now if you have any other cases on your sleeves clear them, cause i need you all to myself, I have a project for you, and I need to discuss about it with you but in private

Meera tap her thigh slightly and probably leave the room as devika heard her heels clacking on the floor and soon she heard the voice of door shutting

'what kind of project is it Mr. Malhotra"?

she asked her while adjusting her face in the direction where she can assume him sitting

"i wanted to build a new club with a pool area for rich people and i have also bought land for it but there are some houseless people living in slump their who are creating a scene although we have given them enough money to empty the place the project is still facing issues hiring other one is not a question because they would only be just a time-waster only you can help me in this,

'but if you had give them money why they are creating a scene"?

Asked devika when she couldn't draw any possible conclusion from his explanation

, the place has an old temple situated within it and the people have huge faith in it although the temple is closed for god knows how many years or you could say century people still believe that their god live himself and is protecting all of them and if they leave that place they have to suffer consequences

"But if you broke the temple then they will leave automatically"

"i know but that's the actual problem no one is ready to break that temple, the temple is built in a unique structure it's impossible to break it from the outside, it can be broken only from the inside, and for that one have to open it, but no one is ready to open it,

'But why you can throw money at anyone and can make them do it"

"you think I didn't try it"

he laughed lightly

'no one is ready to do it, as the temple is cursed they believe and say whoever tried to open it either got bitten by a snake or became retarded, so no one is even ready to touch its knob, people believe that there is giant snake behind the doors and will be out if they open the door, cause the door haven't been opened in years

"so what do you want me to do"

"go and do whatever to make them agree, if they leave on their own I don't think temple will be a problem I can handle it, it's the people who are creating problem for me'

and there is one person more

"who"

"my son he is returning to India next week and if we won't handle it before that he will not let people leave you know he has huge sympathy for people like this and he is always ready to go against me

he does anything to stop me from misplacing those migrants

"ok I see what can I do"

she said suddenly there was a knock on the door and a familiar smell which she wanted to erase from her mind start coming closer and making its way to her
