Mysterious Oberoi

28

"You support, Mayur?" I couldn't help from inquiring about it.

Diya passed me a glance, providing a small nod. "I don't trust him but maybe I would support an undercover agent over a criminal." I nodded at her conclusion, any decent human would come to the same conclusion than why was I finding it difficult? Somewhere, I feared trusting Mayur.

"But aunt is correct," she continued. "Nothing is more important to Mayur than his occupation," she was staring at me with seriousness. "He doesn't mind putting you into a hell, attacking you or striking a bullet into your shoulder through he could have opted for your heart." Her orbs not moving from mine even for a second.

I lowered my head, feeling difficult to breath in her presence. She didn't mind expressing the truth. "Have you met him? Is he alive?" Diya inquired, her voice was filled with sternness.

"No, I had asked but Mr Oberoi denied my request." I mumbled not having the courage to look into her accusing orbs.

"Is trusting a murderer, worth it?" She inquired after a minute of silence. "You're child was fortunate that it wasn't harm by that incident. But what if it was harmed? Would you still support Mayur? The murderer of your child?" She stared at me, the intensity was making me uncomfortable.

"Would a mother be able to forgive the murderer of her child?" My hands moved towards my grown bump, I could feel it's presence each time I put my hand on my stomach. Would I ever be able to forgive him for that?

"No," I shook my head. "I won't be able to forgive him."

"In the same manner Mr. Oberoi is finding it difficult to forgive people that have destroyed his life."

"What do you mean?" I stared at her in horror. What did she knew about Mr. Oberoi? How did she knew about it? "Diya, it will be better if you don't get engrossed into such matters." I stared at her in concern. "He isn't someone to get engrossed with!"

"He isn't as dangerous as you make it sound,"she mumbled.

"I had seen files of his deeds." I expressed, "Mayur had proof about his deeds. Individuals whom he tortured, killed! He isn't sane as you claim about him. It's not my disliking but his actions that label him as criminal."

"And yet he is the reason that you're safe. He is the reason that you're standing alive and is infront of me." Diya passed a glare in my direction. "The person standing outside, before your home is placed by him for your safety. He dragged you into the mansion because he was scared of lossing you. He claimed you as his wife infront of the vast audience because he didn't wanted those pictures to spoil your reputation, to point a finger on your character. Do you have idea if those pictures had come before media, what would have happen? He did that for you!" She was staring at me in disbelief, "why is it that difficult for you to understand?"

"He killed his wife! He killed Riddhi's mother! He make a small innocent kid an orphan, does it make him any less of monster?"

"Have you asked him, why he did it? Have you asked Mayur why he killed Riddhi's mother? No! You just accepted it! You're provided with proof that Mayur attacked you, he was on the verge of killing you yet you want to deny but you're ready to accept that Mr Oberoi is the culprit. You know, why?" She stared at me in sadness. "Accepting Mr Oberoi as criminal would prove your beloved Mayur innocent. You're dying to hear that he still loves you, care for you. It's high time you accept the truth!" Diya muttered before walking out of my room in anger. She was disappointed! Upset with me!

Diya had walked out in anger and never backed into the house. I made my journey back to mansion, alone. Ronald provided a smile but I couldn't even fake one.
