PRATIKAAR ~ His Retribution....

7. Saari ki Saari

(Saari ki Saari ~ All and all)

"Bechaari......jaane kaisa aadmi hai Jo us jaisi ko chhod diya....?!"
(Poor thing..... Don't know what type of a man must he be to leave a girl like her....?!)

"The same type that Thaakur daadaa himself is."
Said Chini listening to all the women talking in her small 1 room house.
"Thaakur daadaa has also left that girl whom she brought from ----"

"Eh Chini !! Shhh......!!"
Her mother snapped.
"You shouldn't talk like that about thaakur sahab ! He is different ----"

"How ?! How is he different maa ?! Have we even heard her side in these two years ?! How can a revenge directed to someone be taken by tormenting someone else ?!"

"Move out Chini !! You don't have any say in these talks !! Go see if the cow needs water !"
Her mother ordered her.

"Why ? It's my home and you all are talking here. Shouldn't you find some other place for your gossips ?!"
She said but now her mother stood up and getting scared from her approach she just ran away chidishly outside the door !

The women sitting in that room continued. But...... There was someone else listening to them.

The one who narrated all this honestly and without a fault in front of Raghavendra sitting majestically on his chair inside his home office !

But some lines could be seen on his forehead. After dismissing that man who worked as a hidden mic and camera between the village people, Raghavendra couldn't help but ponder over what their thoughts were.

Obviously, the villagers couldn't say a word against him. But what about an example which they take from him.

He stood up from his chair and unknowingly, he moved.

When his steps halted, he was standing beside that window looking towards her abode.

The, abode which was his. Untill now, when she became its name bearer. The Beehad waali.

And ofcourse it was a fact now, that if he wanted to do anything with her, first and foremost, he can't let her live there.

The next evening, he had called her in his office.

She came. And stood outside the door with a thumping heart. He had never called her to his room. Her work was limited till the ground floor and most probably the kitchen only !

But today, why on earth did he call her ?

But she had to go inside.

She knocked.

"Come in......"
He ordered.

And as she opened the door, she could just look at that room agape. The biggest room full of books she had seen during her whole existence on holy earth ! Obviously she had seen biggest libraries, but not a room as big as this in someone's home.

She was just mesmerized by its beauty. It's designing........

But not in much time she heard a cold voice echoing in the room. Bringing her gaze back to level zero, ie ground......

"You will have much more time to look at it."
He said. And she confused.
"But for now just pay attention to what I am saying. Hmm....?"
She couldn't lift her gaze up.

His voice was something which sent shivers down her body.

"Look at me, miss......."
He said. But an absolute order it was.
