*What enmity do you have with my brother?* Ayesha asked in confusion.

*I was just joking.* Saif laughed loudly.

*Don't you ever make such a disgusting joke with me again.* Ayesha angrily said and hung up the phone.

**************************************

"What do you mean, brother?" Adil mustered the courage to ask.

Fardan's hand was bleeding, and no one had the courage to go near him. Everyone was standing at a distance, watching the scene.

"I mean, I shot him, but he didn't die." Fardan said, struggling to control his anger.

"I just gave him a warning to surrender himself to me, or if I catch him, his end will be worse." Fardan continued speaking, and everyone's jaws dropped.

"Then why did you tell Ahmed that your revenge is complete?" Adil asked.

"Because there was a third person with us who was listening to our conversation. I had to mislead him." Fardan said with a sarcastic smile.

"But sir, it was just the two of us in the car," Ahmed said bravely. No one present could understand anything Fardan was saying.

"Why don't you ask Arun this question?" Fardan said, looking at one of his men, and everyone turned their eyes toward Arun.

"Sir, I wasn't there. I don't know anything," Arun said, sweating and trembling.

"When did I say you were there?" Fardan had one hand in his pocket and with the other hand, he grabbed Arun's neck and asked.

"Will you confess everything, or...?" Fardan placed a piece of glass on Arun's neck and asked.

"Sir, please forgive me. I will tell everything. Please let me go. Please." Arun started begging.

"What did you do? What are you asking forgiveness for?" Fardan pretended to be unaware.

Everyone present knew that Fardan hated deception and theft and that he never spared anyone who deceived him. Everyone felt sorry for Arun, but no one had the courage to say anything in front of Fardan.

"Sir, I made a big mistake. Please forgive me," Arun kept begging.

"Confess your crime... then I will consider whether to forgive you or not." Fardan released him and sat down on his chair.

"Start. I don't have time to waste. My wife is waiting for me at home," Fardan said, looking at his watch.

"Sir, the day before your wedding, those men came to meet me. They had kidnapped my wife and child, so I met them without telling you. Their condition was that I had to tell them everything about you, and in return, they wouldn't harm my wife and child. I was very scared, sir. I didn't want anything to happen to my wife or child, so I agreed. They said that on your wedding day, I should inform you of his whereabouts. I did exactly that, but that man escaped from you because I had already informed him of our plans. Then on your reception day, he told me to inform you about him again, so I did, but he escaped again. And today, too, I informed you about the mall as per his instructions. He knew you would try to kill him, so he increased the security there, but you still brought a gun. I had already informed him about this, so he had prepared his protection. He was wearing a bulletproof jacket under his clothes and was pretending to be dead. He told me to convince you that he was dead, so I put a recorder on Ahmed's clothes, which allowed him to hear everything you both were saying. When he was convinced that you believed he was dead, he released my wife and child. I went straight home from the mall to meet them, but they were not there, only their bodies. I made a big mistake by trusting that man, sir. I betrayed you and lost everything." Arun fell crying at Fardan's feet.

Everyone felt very sorry for Arun, but their eyes were on Fardan. They were all wondering what his decision would be.

"Arun, if you had told us everything from the beginning, you wouldn't be facing this day today," Adil said angrily.

"I know, sir, I made a big mistake. Please forgive me, please." Arun begged Fardan with folded hands.

Fardan started laughing loudly, and Arun looked at him in surprise. Everyone felt sorry for Arun, and it was very strange for them to see Fardan laughing loudly.

"Rumaisa, consider this Arun as that man today, and take your revenge on him. Will you do it, or should I tell someone else?" Fardan asked, smiling at Rumaisa.

"But sir..." Rumaisa hesitated... she felt sorry for Arun; how could she kill him?

"Arun, you should have gone into acting instead of the mafia. Everyone here started believing you. Well done, Arun, well done!" Fardan laughed and clapped loudly.

Everyone was looking at Arun and Fardan in surprise. Arun picked up a large piece of glass from the broken table and quickly grabbed Adil, placing the glass piece on his neck.

"Fardan, if you don't let me go from here, I will kill your dear brother right here." Arun pressed the glass lightly into Adil's neck.

Everyone was worriedly watching. Fardan's eyes turned red with anger. He was glaring at Arun as if he would devour him.

"Arun, if anything happens to Adil, remember that your wife will not find your body's pieces, even if she searches the whole world," Fardan said angrily.

"Fardan, if you let me go safely, I will release your brother," Arun threatened.

"Let go of my brother. Why don't you ask your wife first whether she is alive or, as you said, her dead body is lying at home," Fardan said with a devilish grin.

"Fardan, what did you do to my wife?" Arun panicked a little, and his grip on Adil's neck loosened a bit, which Adil took advantage of and pushed him away with his foot, quickly getting out of there.

As soon as Adil moved away, four of Fardan's men surrounded Arun and chained him to a wall.

"Fardan, if anything happens to my wife, remember my boss will not spare you. I am my boss's favorite man," Arun tried to threaten Fardan.

"Rumaisa, I told you something. Will you do it, or should I tell someone else?" Fardan asked, smiling at Rumaisa.

"No sir, I will show this man his true place." Rumaisa, angry, moved towards him.

"Fardan, let me meet my Archana once. I have worked for you for so many years. Please let me meet her once, then you can kill me," Arun started begging again.

"How can I bring your dead wife and child back to life? I'm not God!" Fardan said, pretending to be innocent.

"And don't worry, you will be with them soon. With your wife and child." Fardan said, smiling.

"Fardan, if anything happens to my Archana and Arjun, then see, your Faiza will also..." Before Arun could say more, Fardan cut his tongue with the glass in his hand.

"How dare you take my pure wife's name with your filthy tongue." Fardan angrily punched him continuously.

Everyone present knew how sensitive Fardan was about Faiza, and by mentioning Faiza, Arun had dug his own grave.
