Mahal

..♡49♡..

Ranvijay's pov:

Atlast, everything came to an end,
Mrinali is paying for her sins, she not only made me blind, but also made me assume Piyali is the culprit.
I don't understand how I got manipulated by her so easily.
Yeah, it is my love for her which made me trust whatever she had said.
It is not entirely her fault, it is me who trusted her completely loosing my senses.
I not even cared dad's words.
I wonder why maa, and others didn't revealed me the truth, they kept saying Piyali is not my culprit, not giving any reason they kept defending her, which I thought they were doing that to save her from my wrath and hatred.
If maa had given the reason before, I might had given a thought to her words and had find out about Mrinali.
Even though I loved Mrinali why they assumed I would be heartbroken...I might be but I didn't had hurt Piyali right!
I would had changed my ways towards her, and even though I couldn't punish Mrinali, atleast I hadn't tortured Piyali.
Is this the only reason maa, hide the truth or something else...
Of course, she said Piyali will be hurt if she comes to know about her sister's reality.
I'm totally wrong, Piyali is innocent.
I don't know how can I face her.
I'm dieing inside out of guilt.
Even if she forgive me, still I will be guilty my entire life.
The things which I had done to her, on one even does to their enemy.
But I did, to an innocent person.
Let alone asking for her forgiveness,
I don't even have the courage to stand infront of her."

Someone knocked on Ranvijay's room door and he opened it.
" Vijay bhai" Ekant said,
" come inside Eku" Ranvijay invited him inside, and they sat on bed.

" Veer bhai is already slept, I'm not getting sleep, seeing lamps still on I came to you" Ekant speak stretching out his arms and yawned.
" you're sleepy, still want to talk, you're not changed" Ranvijay chuckled.
" huh! Veer bhai also said the same, am I really not changed" He said in confusion.
Ranvijay smiled and said, " have you selected your room?"
Ekant replied no to him, to which Ranvijay replied, " tomorrow, go stroll the Mahal and select your room"
Ekant nodded excitedly, " you didn't answered me, don't you like my idea?" Ranvijay questioned,
Making Ekant to realize that His brother can't saw his gesture he can only listen to him which deepened his sadness.
Not to hurt his brother he said,
" no bhai, I like it, I was thinking about the rumors of the Mahal"
Ranvijay frowned and asked,
" rumors about ghost?" Ekant hummed, " they are fake rumors Eku, don't believe such things.
Look we are living here, nothing happened to us right!
Don't pay attention to all those baseless rumors" he said with confidence.
Ekant who is still skeptical, agreed with him.
" tell me, how is aunt?" Ranvijay asked about Ekant's mother.
" bhai, mom is no more.
She passed away 5 years ago" he said with sad tone.
Ranvijay is shocked hearing that and scolded him, " you assumed we are also dead!
Aunt left us for her concerns, but you...you also made us an outsider.
If aunt is dead, then Why you not returned to us, answer me!"
Ekant gulped down, " bha...bhai I don't want to create any trouble so...", his words are cut off by Ranvijay, " what trouble Ekant?! You and aunt are never a problem or trouble to us.
After you both had left, dad had searched everywhere, and you when you wrote letters to us there is no from address on it and you also stopped writing them after sometime.
I don't understand, why you did that?
You very well know, how much we will be worried about you both, still..."
" bhai, I know how you all treated me and mom, you all loved us and cared us.
But still it is our responsibility not to trouble you all.
But look now I'm with you right, I will not leave you okay!" Ekant said and hugged his big brother to cool him down.
Ranvijay didn't hugged him back,
" okay, if you don't hug me, then I will create ruckus and won't let you sleep tonight" he warned him making Ranvijay to chuckle and hugged him.
They broke the hug, Something got into Ranvijay's mind but he decided not to ask Ekant about it now.
