The Fall of the Evil

Chapter - 40

Long Chapter ahead💥

Listening to Rudra, Mithra walked away. Everyone followed her. Meera came to Nithya and took her to embrace and then they all headed home.

Unaware to both of them that there is someone capturing their moments in a camera.

After a hectic journey, they all came home. Throughout the journey, there was a comfortable silence among them all. Once reached home, they all settled in their respective rooms.

By evening, Rudra came downstairs. He saw Shivani sitting alone in the living room.

Rudra: You should rest. Are you not tired?

Shivani glared at him and kept silent.

Rudra: What happened? Did you eat fevicol mistaking it for ice cream? Why aren't you answering me?

He asked teasingly. But he only received a glare from her.

Rudra: Are you angry with me for some thing honey?

Shivani: You know everything. But you didn't tell me. Do you know how worried I was for everyone.

She shouted at him. Rudra was grinning inside seeing how she is freely scolding him without any hesitation.

Shivani: Why are you silent now?

She shouted more loudly this time.

Rudra: Shh... Don't shout honey.

Shivani realised what she was doing. She composed and said in a low voice.

Shivani: Amm... Aaa.. I am sorry sir! I was just worried and shouted at you.

Saying so she was about to get up and leave from there. But Rudra caught her hand and pulled her back to the couch.

Rudra: Really!! Is this how you talk to your boss?

Shivani: I am sorry sir!

Rudra: And why are you so worried? So you do consider me and my family yours?

He asked teasingly.

Shivani: I mean... No.. I was just concerned for aunty. She is also worried. And it's not good for her health either.

Rudra: Oh!! Pch.. I thought you liked me and that's why you are concerned.

He said pouting. Rudra saw her fidging her dress with fingers and sitting with a nervous expression. He chuckled internally and said softly,

Rudra: Everything happened so quickly and I could not say anything to anyone. Moreover, it would be better if you people have no idea what was happening. Rest, I also have some questions unanswered from Ishaan.

Shivani nodded her head. While they were talking Vijay came downstairs and asked the maid to call everyone in the living room. Soon everyone came downstairs and settled.

Vijay: Ishaan and Rudra I think it's time for you to spill the truth.

Rudra: I don't have much truth with me honestly Uncle!! When aunty called me and said about Nithya's arrest I immediately went to meet her. When I saw her, she was continuously crying and the only thing that came from her mouth was "Ishaan.. Where is Ishaan? When will he come?"  and Nothing else. I could not ask her anything at that moment. She was very vulnerable and by the time I came to know about the arrest we were past the court hours and could not arrange bail. So I just assured her and came back. As I came aunty told me about Ishaan's behaviour.
