Part 22 Deal

Aarav gathered his men.

"Aarav, this is irritating. Do something. We can't pretend like saints" Rakesh said.

"Yes, Aarav... this is ridiculous... eating vegetables like a cow is annoying me" another guy, Samrat said.

"Let's take the Ashram under our control," One of them said.

Aarav became thoughtful.

"Ok... go and check all the directions..." he ordered the four.

They nodded ok and went to check the Ashram's features in every direction. Aarav came to the office room. He saw Mr. Devnath checking the accounts. He smiled at Aarav.

"Do you want anything, Swamiji?"

"Bade Swamiji asked about your Ashram's food chat" he said while running his eyes in the office room.

His eyes got stuck on the landline phone. His eyes widened in shock seeing the phone had CALLER ID.

"Could you please meet our Swamiji?" he said.

"Oh, sure..." Dev went to meet the Saint.

Aarav checked the numbers on the phone. After he called Nani, there was only one outgoing call registered on the phone. He gritted his teeth. His eyes caught the sight of HIS phone number written on a piece of paper. He quickly connected the dots. Nani should have written his number from the caller ID. To whom did she tell his number? He thought for a while and dialled the only outgoing number that was registered on the caller ID. Obviously, it was Arnav's number. Arnav saw the Ashram number flashing on his mobile. He attended it without delay and said,

"Nani..."

Aarav was stuck for a second. he didn't expect Arnav would be on the other side.

"Nani, is everything all right? Don't worry, Nani. We are coming"

Aarav got alerted. Arnav was coming.

"As of now, the local police would have rounded up the Ashram," Arnav said.

That was it. Aarav composed himself.

"I don't know you would become so smart my dear younger brother" Aarav chuckled.

Arnav was shocked to hear Aarav's voice. He closed his eyes fisting his fingers. What had he done...? Aarav got to know he was in India.

"How cleverly the old woman lied to me you know?" Aarav laughed.

"She said you are still in Scotland. It seems you guys are still scared about me... don't you?"

"I heard your wedding is fixed...! This is not done my dear younger brother... being my younger, how could you get married before me? don't you think of your elder brother before fixing your wedding?"

Arnav was silent.

"Didn't that old lady tell you the custom? How would she say, when she was all set to do my final ritual...! Didn't you think I was dead?"

"The police told us," Arnav said.

"That's how I created the scene... by the way, what that old lady told you about me?"

"She said you called her"

"So, you guys are in touch"

"We would have to... we have no one..."

"What are you saying, my brother? You are going to get into a new relationship with a girl... by the way, what she looks like?"

"Aaraaaav...."
