14. Uncovering Viraj's Identity

Kavya's Pov:

My toes felt like hurting, my legs took me in a known direction though I was not aware of the events happening around me but the thing which I was sure of was the pain which was floating in my entire body. It felt like I was floating in the midst of a black sea, where all I could see was pitch black darkness with no hope or care to see the light again.

After walking for several minutes which realistically felt like hours I came back to my Masi's house seeking comfort in their arms.

I rang the door bell and within a fraction of second my Masi came at the door, she hurriedly opened the door for me. By looking at my distraughted appearance she was quite astonished.

I felt lonely as I stood in the corner, trying to gather myself while silent tears silently ran down my cheeks from the sorrow.

"Kavya beta what happened are you alright?" My Masi questioned with worry laced in her voice.

I let out a gut-wrenching wail, my Tears started flowing continuously, falling like rain and suddenly I collapsed on the floor.

My Masi took me by my arms and made me sit in the couch. She give me a glass of water to drink and asked me to calm down a little.

"Now tell me what's wrong? You both were about to depart for Goa then what are you doing here alone? Did something happen between the two of you?" Masa Ji wondered.

For a moment I felt that somebody had thrown a bucket of ice cold water on me when I realised that what I had went through the entire day.

One day changed the entire trajectory of our lives. I tried taking slow breath and narrated the entire situation which had occurred to my Masi and Masa Ji.

"Beta there is one more thing which you don't know. I guess that is what he meant when he asked you to take further details from us." My Masi said while scratching her hands a little which majorly she did out of anxiousness.

"What--what do you mean Masi?" I questioned holding my breath. I was extremely scared not knowing how to digest further information which was kept hidden from me.

"Kavya----he, I mean Viraj---he---he was a part of the Mafia. He used to work for a gangster. Though he was not involved in the henious criminal activities like Murder, Drug dealing or Abduction but he used to work in their circle. Mostly he was responsible for doing the deliveries." Masi cautiously said breaking my heart to an extreme extent.

'Viraj he was a part of a certain gang. How? How could he? Why? Why him?' Were certain thoughts which had immediately clouded my mind.

"I will be honest with you Kavya initially I was infuriated when I got to know that my sister had decided to marry you off with Viraj because firstly she never told me the reason behind your marriage and secondly the reason behind your marriage was mandatory in my eyes because both of you came from different backgrounds, different lifestyles, different values. You had a well settled life and he was a mere gangster.

On one hand you used to work religiously and on the other hand he used to take part in criminal activities. Both of you were not fated together and that's why your marriage proposal came as a big shocker to me.

Although we were not in Mumbai at the time when my sister and Jija ji decided your marriage that's why I clearly don't remember what had exactly happened and why did you accepted the proposal because honestly you really didn't liked him.

Since the start your parents had treated Viraj as their own son. Even though he had a small part but at the end of the day his truth was that he was involved in the vicious underworld cycle but he actually respected your parents a lot because as far as I have heard from my sister the outside world including me questioned his actions, we had judged him, considered him a rowdy but your parents understood his circumstances and respected his boundaries.
