RUINS

5. DOES IT REALLY MATTER.... HIS IDENTITY??!!

Raghav was looking a lot better as he drank some lemon water and had his family close to him, away from the chaos. His son is nowhere to be seen and Raghav couldn't be more glad for that. He didn't want stare at his failure when he felt like he is going to have a heart failure. 

Agastya walked to Anjali and kneeled in infront of her holding her hand when he found Raghav Sharma much better. He didn't waste anytime before he started on why he had to come to Ambedkarpur. 

By the time Agastya walked back to the hospital after restraining Akshat at home, Amrita was already in Coma. Akshat's questions hurt him but Amrita's condition left him broken. She went into Coma and the doctors aren't sure anymore if she will ever wake up. Keeping that aside, the threat still loomed. None of his family members is safe. 

That is when he remembered about the "Prakruti Ayurveda Aashram." 

His maternal grandfather Pulkit Chaturvedi had a hobby of supporting heritage preserving initiatives. He donated more than enough money every year and when the man passed away, his mother carried on that tradition. She was a social worker and she seamlessly carried forward her father's legacy. She made sure those donations happened even if she wasn't there. Agastya was made aware of all such transactions, donation, the preserved heritage structures on his 21st birthday when his mother's lawyer walked into his cabin, with three letters. Since then he made sure, everything is as perfect as his mother would have preferred. All those transactions happened from Personal accounts and they are all kept low key, off the book because the heritage is to be preserved.

Prakruti Ayurveda Aashram is a part of heritage preservation initiative. It is funded and self sufficient. They didn't need any publicity. Those who know of the place always referred clients with a non disclosure agreement. Except for pollution and modern infrastructure, they have everything and anything that can keep them the way they are. 

Agastya looked at it as his last hope for Amrita when he realized Ambedkarpur is just beside. Vivek belonged to the same village. He took it as a sign of destiny. That gave him hope. All the good deeds done in the past came to his rescue. He might have used unethical means to get Amrita shifted and settle her there, declaring her dead for the world. He had to make sure none knows about it. Not even Vivek. 

With Vivek as a point of contact he can trust, Agastya walked away with a plan in hand. 

Leaving what kind of danger it was, Agastya explained his reasons to Anjali at a go.

"Amrita ki safety keliye sabse door aagaya tha main. Haalat itne badal jayenge, socha nahi tha. Ab Amrita toh safe hain per main yahan raha toh yahan koi bhi safe nahi rahega. Mujhe wapis jaana hi padega, Maa." 

He blinked back the tears, "Apnon ko chod aaya per yahan aap ne mujhe apna liya. Yahan rahunga toh kuch nahi kar paunga. Aur main kisiko khone ka soch bhi nahi sakta..." His tone pleaded Anjali to understand him. 

Anjali simply shook her head, and tightened her hold on his palms as she spoke, "Itni beizzati sehne ke baad main khud tumhe yahan nahi rehne deti Beta. Teri duniya alag hain....yeh log tere layak nahi hain. Yeh Ghar tere layak nahi hain. Tu ne hamein apna mana....aur woh rishta nibhaya....bahut kiya tumne hamare liye beta....ab bas kar...

Jaa apne Bhaiyon ke paas...." 

Her eyes darted to Advitya before she looked back at Agastya, "Itne waqt tak itna door tha unse. Unhe pata bhi nahi tha kuch. 9 mahinon ki jaan pehchan mein hum tujhe itna Miss karnewale hain.....unka toh bura haal hoga!
