Ajeeb Dastan Hai Yeh (Completed)

Chapter 55: Treating Him

Aarav had been pondering the impact of a recent decision he made, wondering about the consequences it might have brought. Suddenly, he noticed the legal team arriving at his house, accompanied by Maya.

He glanced at them, puzzled. "Aap sab yahan?" he questioned.

"Mr. Aarav Malhotra! Aapki wife ne reports submit ki hai. Uske mutabik, you are not mentally fit to take strategic decisions of the company. Isliye aajse aapki wife har ek decision legi," the lawyer announced, placing a file in front of him.

Aarav was stunned by the lawyer's words. "Kya bakwaas hai yeh?" he exclaimed angrily.

Maya smiled slyly. "Bakwaas nahi hai, darling! Tumne ek deal ki thi mere mana karne ke baad bhi, uss wajah se company ko bahut nuksaan uthana pada hai.."

The lawyer looked at Aarav and said, "Mr. Malhotra, main saalon se Karan Sir ka legal advisor hoon aur aapke bhale aur company band na ho, isliye zaroori hai ki aap puri tarah se sab responsibility apni wife ko de dein."

Sumitra interrupted, "Sahi keh rahe hain, Aarav! Tumhare papa ne bahut mehnat ki hai iss sabke liye. Tum bhi nahi chahoge tumhari wajah se sab khatam ho jaye, haina?" she asked with a smirk.

Aarav tried to defend himself, "Dekhiye, maine koi.." but then he glanced at Maya, who displayed a triumphant look. He realized that everyone was siding with her. No matter how hard he tried, he wouldn't be able to prove anything.

The lawyer handed him a pen, and reluctantly, Aarav signed the documents, granting Maya the authority to make decisions on his behalf.

Maya smiled and cupped his face. "Aarav, don't worry. Jald tum sadme se bahar aa jaoge toh wapas sab sambhalne ke kaabil ho jaoge. Main hoon na."

He couldn't utter a word. As everyone left, Aarav walked to his room, defeated.

Sumitra and Maya exchanged glances and shook hands.

"Tum office sambhalo aur main isey sambhalti hoon," Sumitra said with a smirk.

"Bilkul, saasumaa. Ab toh mujhe iske kisi sign ki bhi zaroorat nahi hai! Maya Malhotra has power and full control," Maya laughed triumphantly.

Aarav's world had crumbled around him. Every day seemed like a new layer of humiliation and helplessness added to his life. Maya and Sumitra's control over him grew stronger, reducing him to a mere shadow of the man he once was. As he navigated his days, he found himself subjected to the ultimate degradation.

One evening, Aarav was sitting in the living room, trying to gather his thoughts and plan his next move. Sumitra entered, her expression stern and authoritative. "Aarav, ab tumhara waqt khatam ho gaya hai. Tumhe yeh ghar ka kaam sambhalna hoga."

Aarav looked up, confusion and indignation flashing in his eyes. "Maa, yeh tum kya keh rahi ho? Main ghar ka naukar nahi hoon."

Sumitra's face twisted into a cruel smile. "Naukar hi ho tum. Tumhari harkatein tumhe isi layak banati hain. Abse, tum is ghar ke sab kaam karoge."

Just then, Maya walked in, her eyes gleaming with satisfaction. "Sumitra sahi keh rahi hain, Aarav. Tumhare pas aur koi raasta nahi hai. Tumhe ab apni aukat mein rehna hoga."

Aarav stood up, anger and frustration bubbling within him. "Yeh sab tum logon ka plan tha, mujhe neecha dikhane ka. Lekin main aisa hone nahi dunga."

Maya's laugh was cold and mocking. "Aur tum kar bhi kya sakte ho? Tumhare pas koi power nahi bachi. Tumhe bas yeh baatein manzoor karni hogi."

Sumitra handed Aarav a mop and a bucket, her eyes gleaming with a cruel satisfaction. "Shuru ho jao, Aarav. yeh ghar Maya sambhalti hai aur tum muft ki roti toh nahi tod sakte na.."
