Abhidnya was shocked to her core. She was trying to process the information.
"Yeh galat hai", she murmured
"Shayad......par bhai sa dwara kiya gya sara kam mere liye sahi hai", Yuvan rebuked
"Kisiko mar dalna bhi?", Abhidnya questioned
"Kisiko ya phir unko jo deserve karte hain?", Yuvan countered which left Abhidnya speechless
Yuvan was about to leave when Abhidnya bitterly spoke, "shayad Vhavya bohot galat kam kiya hai par kisiko mar dena is not the conclusion right? Aur tumhare bhai sa hote kon hai jo kisi ki hatya karein?"
"Kya tum Noor Farooqi ko janti ho?", Yuvan asked to which Abhidnya nodded her head negatively
Yuvan spat another name, "Arohi Bagchi?"
Abhidnya scrunched her brows trying to recall these names
"Kavya Sharma?, Janvi Katiyar?, Renuka Agarwal?"
"Mein nhi janti inn sabko....aur tum topic change mat karo", Abhidnya accused
"Topic change nhi kar raha baas tumhe topic ki gehrai mein le kar jaa raha hun......inn sari ladkiyon k alawa aur bhi bohot sari ladkiyan hai jo achanak se gayab ho gyi. Unhe nahi zameen sama liya aur nahi asman kha gya par ......par ek danaab Vhavya woh apni behrehmi se unhe noch noch kar nigal gya", Yuvan explained. His face radiating anger and hatred
No further words were exchanged between Yuvan and Abhidnya. Few minutes passed. Yuvan decided to end the silence and spoke, "Mere bhai sa, Mahadev k prateek hain. Danaab ko apni jagah, narak mein pahuncha kar aye hain"
Saying so Yuvan left the hall. Leaving Abhidnya to her hurricane of thoughts.
Abhidnya could see Adhavan's Maha-arti coming to an end with a resonating sound of the conch.
In the Master Bedroom
Abhidnya was in a dilemma due to whirlwind of her thoughts. She couldn't brought herself to any conclusion. She knew Vhavya is wrong and deserves punishment but she couldn't rely upon the idea that it is Adhavan responsible for his execution.
Her thoughts broke when the door of her chamber was pushed open and Adhavan entered with a sacred tray filled with holy elements and a burning camphor.
Abhidnya judged his each movement while Adhavan eyed her minute expression.
Adhavan, himself directed the holy fire towards Abhidnya with his palm.
"Zyada mat socho Abhidnya, tum mujhe unn nazron se kabhi dekh nhi paogi kyu ki tumhare mann mein base huye woh nazare tumhe kabhi sachayi dekhne nhi degi", Adhavan said mockingly
"Kese nazare?", Abhidnya softly asked
Adhavan sarcastically smiled and left the room without uttering a single word.
Somewhere in the outskirts of Rajasthan
"Every single fucking pawn died. Her parents, her uncle, her boyfriend, every fucking person who could have brought her to me", a man screamed with bloodshot eyes
"We still have more people who can play pawn in your bloodied game", a woman spat while smoking her cigarette
"Acha.....toh aab agla kon hai maharani sa?", the man asked while emptying the whiskey bottle's content in a large vessel.
"Uski behen", the woman evilly smiled and threw her cigarette into the vessel. This resulted in burning of the marriage pictures of Adhavan and Abhidnya.
Later in the afternoon
Abhidnya came downstairs and saw all the cousins were sitting together and were about to play ludo.
"Arey bhabi sa .... ayiye na", Zia welcomed her whole heartedly
"Yes my sweetheart abhi come here", Ruhan teased her playfully
Abhidnya smiled warmly and joined them. She sat in the middle beside Ruhan and Yuvan.
"Haan abhi bara bar 4 players ho gye", Zia said excitedly
"Fine then, darling Abhi and I will be considered as one team", Ruhan declared
Yuvan gave him a side eye and said, "tu kuch zyada nhi chadh Raha? Bhai sa ko pata chalega na phir dekhiyo"
"Tu chup kar Oye! Bhai sa k naam se darata rehta hai hamesha. Ab Abhidnya meri darling hai toh hai na", Ruhan said while winking at Abhidnya who rolled her eyes in return
"Thik hai thik hai....shuru karte hain", Zia concluded
The game began and gradually turned into warm between both the teams. Ruhan with his whims won the match and started boasting about his success.
Meanwhile Yuvan started secretly recording him to take his revenge.
"Since I had Abhidnya beside me, so no body could defeat me. Congratulations darling Abhi", Ruhan said proudly.
After recording it perfectly, Yuvan deliberately sent it to Adhavan. He knew his twin meant no harm but simultaneously he is also aware of Adhavan's possessiveness for Abhidnya. This trick would definitely suffice his revenge.
Amidst the chaos Zia got a notification on her mobile. Coming across the message, she felt a different kind of excitement. She couldn't believe her eyes. She read the lines repeatedly and tried to control herself from shrieking in joy.
"Tum sab ka khel khud ho gya ho toh lunch karlo, chalo", Chaya strictly ordered each of them to move towards the dinning hall.
While going, Yuvan pulled Abhidnya by her elbow and whispered, "This is not my place to interfere but just telling you one thing, bhai sa is madly in love with you. He cannot see, think or understand anything beyond you"
Abhidnya simply heard his words but didn't react.
"Kuch bolegi?"
"Mujhe nhi pata"
"Ek dost k hisab se puch raha Maya jesi mayavi ko bata sakti hai mujhe nhi?", Yuvan chided
"Mein ek decision pe nhi pahunch pa rahi. Kuch na kuch hota jaa raha . Mere sare decision galat. Mein khudh ko nhi bata paa rahi hun ki mein kya chahti hun", Abhidnya said with an exhaustive sigh
"Do questions puchunga. Sirf do questions. Apna life akele lead karna chahti hai?"
"Nhi", Abhidnya replied instantly
"Aaj se kuch 40-50 saal baad kiske sath
khudh ko dekh rahi hai, garden mein baithe huye pond mein lotus flowers ko admire karte huye?"
Abhidnya didn't reply but took a deep breath. And Yuvan was no dumb who need a verbal answer.
"Dekh Abhidnya baat simple hai. Sab apne apne life mein set ho rahe hain tu apni life kyu bekar kar rahi hai? Aur kiske liye kar rahi hai? Baas ek baar soch tu kya khus hai bhai sa k bina? Kya esi life lead karne ka socha tha tune? Aur bhai sa ko kyu hurt kar rahi hai ? Jab ki he is the one to heal you. Life is the best teacher, life hume bohot kuch sikhata hai , hume sab sirf sehna nhi hai sikh na hai. You never know perhaps this is your last chance to rectify. Waste mat karna", Yuvan patted her head and started walking ahead.
Hearing him Abhidnya finally decided that yet again she has to mend everything. Last time it was Adhavan who brought them together, this time she will take the responsibility of binding both forever.
This time she is determined. This time no one will matter.
"Par mein karu kya? Kese sab thik karun? Kese unhe samjhu ya samjhaun?", Abhidnya asked
Yuvan who was walking ahead by now didn't turn to reply. Rather he raised his palms and gestured as if he has no clue.
"Apke pati dev hain unhe kese manwana hai woh aap jane bhabi sa . Aab bhai sa kese pighalte hain woh hum kya jane", Yuvan said and casually exited the corridor.
