SWEET DECEMBER ( Completed) ✅️

chapter 27

OISHANI'S POV

It was too silent for my liking.  Walking out of the room. I adjusted his shirt on my shoulder. In hurry he tore off only shirt I had on my body while the rest were busy chilling in laundry.

"Idhant?." I shouted hoping he will giggle and run towards me. There was silence which didn't sit well with me. I walked around the kitchen to find my husband and his sister sitting face to face , one glaring at the other.

"Why have you come?." Varad questioned her.

"Aren't you my loving bro?." She countered raising her brow.

"You have no work here, as far as I know your aim to destroy someone's life has been accomplished." He calmly spoke.

"Varad!." I shouted sitting beside him.  Isha showed me her hand asking me to stay quiet.

" What? That's it? Nothing more to say?." Isha asked.

"You are piece of shit who doesn't know the importance of family and what it means to stick around no matter what happens. I can't believe you helped Oishani during pregnancy only to keep her away from me!." Varad shouted banging his hand on the table. I flinched back which immediately led him to calm down. Holding me by my shoulder, he eyed his sister.

"For a man who doesn't even remember what happened with his wife or how you both fell in love or atleast when you did whatever you did to give birth to my nephew, he got big mouth to accuse his own sister about things which aren't in his mind or memory." Isha spoke getting up from her seat. Varads anger flared up instantly. I grabbed his hand to make him calm down. Isha looked over us with a smile.

"Idhant looks chubby even now. I wonder who got high cheek bones in our family." She commented touching our  son's photo.

"My mom. " I replied remembering how I always wished to have beautiful smile like her.

"Hmmm I see the resemblance." She muttered. Both me and Varad looked at her with suspicion. No one knows my mother so close nor seen their photos expect vasisth.

"How do you know them?." Varad asked her.

"Haven't you for a slightest reason doubted me or had doubt that I might have saved you both?." Isha spoke walking over to us. We both sat silently if things were to happen according to our wish we wouldn't be here.

"You were called there to protect Oishani by Mr Wang. You know why?." Isha said which only made Varad widen his eyes. Wang??! So that was not a dream!

"I..?." Varad was lost in thoughts.

"Yes. I had conducted a test on the products they were going to use for the program. Although they were natural products,  it's mandatory to find the right amount and quality is being used. Anything Over the limit is considered as poison. Usually FDA has no rules like it has for other food substances. Only the supplement manufacturer has the responsibility. But then, they had to get certification. No pharmaceutical ingredients or compounds should be added. Your parents was only botanical." Isha spoke. I was silent trying to grasp the situation.

"What are you saying Isha? Botanical? Pharmaceutical? Why the hell will their program need so many certifications from toxicology department? Aren't they suppose to give their custom made supplement for after acquiring permission from public health departments or something like that?." Varad questioned.

" There was a notice from Federal Trade Commission, regulatory actions were taken citing that your parents claimed to show weight loss results within 3weeks which is bogus and have done on purpose to sell their program containing different methods involving only botanical ingredients. That's when we were asked to approach them and they had to compile for certifications. " Isha spoke.

"I never knew it was planned in such a bigger scale." I said.

" It was much bigger than you know Oishani. It was Shubam who made your parents go international which led to notice from Federal trade commission as many companies in the race sought action against this FastTrack weight loss program. What your parents didn't know was, it was never 3 weeks or months program. They proposed it for 1 yr but being Greedy Shubam changed it to 3 weeks to attract participants and money." Isha said which made chills run through my body. 

"So, after their death she worked there. Where do I fit in? I am not even realted to this field." Varad spoke.

"You were not that's the reason why Wang chose you on my recommendation. There were threats to Oishani. Wang had close relation with her parents. They slipped him the proofs which  they were going to submit on the day of accident. He approved them. Wang knew if it's not her parents, they will target the next possible hire. That's your wife." Isha spoke.

"They? Who are they?." Oishani asked her.

"Shubam and his co. Varad was asked to protect you but he was not willing as I had past with shubam. He claimed to be in love with me to gain hand over our bussiness which my brother set up. When his intentions were revealed by my brother. He backed off." Isha spoke

"Yes, I remember him proposing to marry you. He's an asshole!." Varad shouted.

"What happened then?." I asked. We heard our door bell ring indicating my son has come. Walking swiftly I welcomed him home. My mother in law stood at the entrance as usual refusing to come inside. She waved him bye looking over my shoulder. When I turned around I saw Isha look at her mother with blank expression. What a family this is! One doesn't talk with other until some calamity falls upon them. Maybe every Indian family resembles this? Or I am a fool to assume it does.
