THE QUEST

V

Author's POV

All the guests who had come were making things and the reporters had clicked all the photos but MJ got them deleted and gave clear instructions that not a single photo should have been published. Alia was crying continuously because she had the time to tell anyone and did not know that it would come out like this.

When everyone was asked to leave from there, Arjun and Krisha also had to leave and only the family members were left there. Anirudh's family was very angry and were talking about breaking the marriage even though Anirudh's father was a good friend of Jai. Those people also left from there and everyone wanted to demand answers from Alia. MJ took her to the room and asked her to rest. When she woke up after some time, he, Sanskriti and RJ were sitting near her and she started crying again.

"Listen, whatever I ask you, give correct answers without hiding anything." MJ asked and she nodded.

"Did you have a boyfriend before Anirudh?" he asked..

"No." she replied..

"Then are these photos fake?" he asked..

"No." she replied..

"So how did all this happen? Do you know something?" he asked..

"On my birthday, I went to the club with Ani and other friends and after partying for some time, I cut the cake and had a drink or two. Ani got a call and went away from there. I was feeling a little dizzy when one of my friends helped me. After that I didn't remember anything, when I regained consciousness I was alone in that room. I was not able to understand which of you should I tell this and then after some time Abhi committed suicide so I could not tell and yesterday suddenly those photos appeared like this." she said cryingly.

"No problem, you rest. I will take care of everything, with me no one can harm my sister." he said..

"Will not cause harm, has caused harm. Despite your deletion, all these photos are still on every site and will definitely appear in tomorrow's newspaper." Jai said..

MJ was not able to understand anything and he went to the study with Jai, Devika, Divya and Sankalp and took out Abhi's phone from the locker and checked and there was nothing on it either. No one was able to understand what was happening but he understood everything.

"All this is someone taking revenge from us or trying to tarnish our image." he said..

"What do you mean?" all asked..

"Abhi suddenly committing suicide, Alia's photos coming out on her engagement day and now nothing being found on Abhi's phone. Everything is planned but who is doing all this?" he said..

"We have to find out as soon as possible otherwise some more damage may occur." Jai said..

"You may also have a rival, but his benefit is in defaming us, not in killing Abhi. Something is fishy." he said..

All of them were thinking about this while Ranvijay and Pallavi were taking care of Alia because she loved Anirudh very much and she was afraid that her parents would break the marriage. Her condition was not good so RJ made her sit in the car and took her to Krisha's house. She was surprised to see him there at this time and asked them to come inside. She brought water and then sat near them.

"What is the matter ? Everything ok? Why are you here so late at night?" Krisha asked..

"This is my sister Alia." he said..

Then he told her everything that happened with Alia today and she was pretending as if she did not know anything. She hugged her but she started crying again and she wiped her tears and pacified her.
