Love lies

Chapter 4

Rocky strolled inside and everyone's jaw was practically on the floor. They were all expecting to see Virat but no one expected Rocky to be here. 

Rocky then walked past Reena circling her a few times, looking her up and down. Her eyes held questions only Rocky new the answer to and he gave her a small blink letting her know that all answers will be revealed soon. 

However Reena was filled with confusion. Why the hell was he here now and why did he look so different. He walked over to his seat and sat down. 

"Hey hey, kuthkoli kuthkoli. Baya bakthi mansalniru saku, all are one" he said and everyone reluctantly sat down. Reena stood next to her father, her brows furrowed in confusion. Rocky's eyes travelled to her and he smirked.

(Hey hey, sit sit. Fear and respect should be in the heart only, all are one)

"Enu, nivu nanage khasagiyagi helabahude?" He asked staring at Reena and signalling her to sit in the seat next to him.

(What, do i have to tell you separately?)

Reena frowned and looked down at her dad who hinted to her that he would handle it and to just go sit. Reena walked over sitting in the seat next to Rocky. The rest of the people sat at the very end of the table.

"Virat?" Desai asked confused. He was hell mad at him and wanted to get rid of him at all cost.

"Virat, tsk Virat Virat....finished him off" he said in fake sympathy looking up at the sky.

"Pava sikku vayasige hogbeda" he joked rubbing his heart.

(Poor thing, gone at such a young age)

Everyone was hell shocked to hear that Virat was dead besides Reena. It all made sense to her now. 

Why she didn't see Virat at the kali pooja or he wasn't to be seen anywhere after Garuda was killed. Rocky must have killed him before he killed Garuda.

"They did the debate room really well right. Hey yake dullagedhira. Dont worry your in safe hands, nan eriyane puthusu. fieldnegalla" he smirked looking over to Reena who just looked at him lost. He let out a small chuckle, only heard by Reena and turned back to the other partners.

(They did the debate room really well right. Hey why are you all dull. Dont worry your in safe hands. I'm only new to the area, not to the field)

"Ill take your company to great heights. For that i need your time, patience and blessing. This three is enough" Rocky announced and the hall fell silent. Kamal scoffed in annoyance and all heads turned to his direction.

"Hey do you think this is some sort of game, every time someone dies, for the next one to just take his place. Our fathers gave birth to us to save the company they spent generations building. Not to just watch some outsider come take our place" Kamal growled, emphasising the word our as if he owned the place. Reena glanced between him and Rocky but was surprised to see his face so calm.

 "Nepotism, why is our country become like this. Wherever I look its recommendation, domination, influence, fathers name, family name. What will the poor people do in this state. What will the people that work hard do in this case. What will the guy that single handled chopped of someone's head do in this state." Rocky voice was now ferocious, like a snake spitting venom. Reena looked at him with pride as she knew that Rocky was different to Garuda. 

"Merit. I came here on merit. Don't I deserve some respect too? Your fathers did everything well but they only made a mistake on one thing. They gave birth to you all in my lifetime. Ill keep ruling and you guys can sit and watch" he said mocking everyone on the room.
