Chapter Eight

Everything else was a blur and I suddenly found myself at the Tripathi's house. I was waiting for them to get the doorbell.

I started to go over the events of the past 24 hours. How could I let my guard down? I suddenly remembered what Anu Chaturvedi said.

'Hey servant, I can see you are enjoying the Rathore home. You are such a lucky girl but don't worry, everything will come crashing down soon.'

The new servant? Was this all their ploy? Different questions ran through my mind and suddenly I felt anger course through my veins. I could feel my blood start to boil.

Rupali opened the door and was beaming with smiles to see me but I was less concerned about that.

'Sister Malini! Sister Malini! Where are you?' I called out angrily

'Imlie,' Rupali touched my arm gently. 'What happened and why are you yelling?'

The entire family had gathered around and I could see the demon I regarded as my sister coming down the stairs and she was with her mum.

'Hey, servant! Why are you yelling out my daughter's name?' Anu inquired while giving me a hateful look but I ignored her, I didn't come here for her.

'Imlie, What's with the silly drama this late afternoon? I heard Aryan was poisoned, shouldn't you be with him and his family.' Malini said while her mother had a smug smile on her face.

'How did you know he was poisoned?' I asked.

'Oh Imlie, don't be so daft. He is one of the richest business tycoons in this town, it's all over the news.'

'You call this drama? After poisoning Aryan!' I snapped at her. I could hear the shocked gasps from everyone but that was their problem.

'Imlie,' Aparna mumbled. 'Malini would never do such a thing besides she was with us the entire night during the party.'

'She wouldn't want to soil her hands and that's why she hired another person to do the job.'

'I never knew you had changed sister malini,' I say, turning to face her. 'But I never imagined in my wildest dreams, you would stoop so low to poison Aryan.'

'All these accusations are baseless imlie. Do you have any evidence?'

'Yes, I do and I'm going to show it to the police.'

'Lol, what kind of evidence do you have?' Malini asked with a wicked grin on her face.

'I got your text message.' I whipped out my phone and Rupali collected the phone from me

'M' She stammered and looked at Malini's direction. 'Malini, how could you do such a thing?'

'Rupali, I know you don't like me and honestly, the feelings are mutual but I'm not the only one bearing the name starting from the letter M. Imlie could have easily made it up and is this what you want to show to the police?' She hissed.

I opened my mouth to say something but she cut me off. 'I could easily have you arrested for false accusation imlie but I won't do that because you act so childishly without thinking', she stated.

'You are acting like his wife imlie,' Aditya said with disgust laced in his voice.

'Yes! I'm acting like his wife! Why don't you act like a husband and keep your wife under control? Tell her to leave me alone and I can promise you one thing Aditya, if anything happens to Aryan best forget my name is Imlie.'

I stomped out of the house and I couldn't hold back my tears, maybe I'm a black cat to people I meet. Why is my life filled with chaos? I was still walking dejectedly when someone suddenly pulled me towards them.

Aryan! I shrieked but I was greeted with sister Malini's face. A car rolled down its window and hissed at me. Watch where you are going, young lady.

'Let go of me,' I roared at her while trying to free myself from her grasp.

'I can't let you die so easily imlie, I'm going to make your life so miserable that you are going to run back to that filthy village you came from.'

'I'm in a loveless marriage and it's all thanks to you. Aditya doesn't even look at me, he only cares for the baby. '

'You were the one who raped Aditya, not me. So what do you mean by a loveless marriage and how is it my fault if you are in one?' I glared at her.

'We made love imlie, the baby in my belly is proof of the love that flowed between us that night.' She whispered.

'You are becoming so shameless but that's you and Aditya's problem, not mine but I promise you one thing, I'm going to expose you, in three weeks.'

'Three weeks! She gasped and then suddenly started laughing. 'How will you gather the evidence? Let me also promise you one thing, in three weeks I'm going to make life a living hell for you.'

'The dose I gave that bastard, I'm not sure he put everything in the coffee because if he did, Aryan would have died in your arms.'

'You and your puppet will rot in jail. I will...' I was cut off by my phone ringing. It was Arpita di and I hurriedly picked the call.

'Aryan has gained consciousness, imlie. Come back soon, she said. Thank you lady Sita, I mumbled quietly then I stopped a rickshaw.

'Prepare for your downfall sister Malini,' I say before getting into the tricycle.
