"He has come from his office half an hour or so back and taking rest in his room. I tell him that you came and want to talk with him." Charita turned and took two steps.
"Tell him that I want to have some confidential conversation to him." He said on the back of her.
"Is it is that much confidential and I am also not privy to that?" she turned back and looked into his face with gathered frowns.
"Of course, yes." Chandan laughed. "My brother in law and I are entitled to have some confidential conversation, are not we?"
Then Charita turned back once again and moved away from that place without looking back and just in seconds Anirudh came out of his room along with Charita.
"I am feeling very happy that you not only came to our home but want to talk with me also." Anirudh said and he perfectly understood what would be his brother-in-law's feeling towards one of the gang-rapists of his sister.
"Yes, of course. But in private and confidential!" Chandan pulled a serious expression into his face.
"Do you object if we both retire into our room and talk?" looking into the face of Charita, Anirudh asked her.
"Of course, no." Charita said with a smile on her lips. "You both have it together as long as you want and all the time I help my mother in law in kitchen." She moved away from that place.
"Come" Anirudh moved away from that place and Chandan just followed him into his room.

"I can understand your feeling completely towards me. You have to put indeed an effort to come to my home like this and talk with him. I am extremely sorry what I did to her on that day and thank you that you ultimately decided to come and see me." Once Anirudh on the bed and Chandan in the chair opposite to him nearby to the bed settled, Anirudh said. That chair was folded and in a corner in that room before Chandan came into that and Anirudh unfolded it and laid it for him.
"That was an old story, an incident took place and cannot be undone. Anyhow amends has been made to it and the parties to it are at peace. I am not intended to talk about that now and I have no anger on you also. In fact....." Chandan paused for a moment as if to reiterate whatever he was going to say. "...........I wish a very happy marital life to you and my sister."
"Thank you, thank you very much!" Anirudh's face was suddenly brightened with a happy expression. "I never have expected that I can hear something like that from you."
"But ....." the sudden serious expression on the face of Chandan made Anirudh alert. Then he remembered what Chandan said. He said that he wanted to have some private and confidential talk, what that could be? What that could be that he did not want even his sister to know? While his heart was with a sort of fear Chandan was saying. ".........I came here to talk something very important and serious."
"Just express yourself with a free heart." Trying not to show his inner fear on his face, Anirudh said. "It appears that you are feeling anxious for something and I expel your fear just in seconds."
"I wish and hope that it would so." Chandan said. "I come to the point straight. How much of control that rogue Tarang wielding on you now?"
"What does that mean?" Anirudh knitted his brows together.
Chandan got off from the bed, came near to Anirudh and looked straight into his face.
"I know that Tarang has been helping you and you always feel obliged to him. I think because of that, in obligation to him, you have participated in that horrendous activity on that day. Is it is just so now also?"
