Roses Are Red✔

The Plot Thickens

There was an icy silence in the Oberoi Mansion. No one spoke , until Annika broke the silence by saying 'I should go now. Mr.Oberoi, if you need any help do let me know.'
Shivaay looked up at her and said clearly 'Annika, I am sorry I never wanted you to be a part of this mess.'
Annika said 'Shivaay , now is not the moment.'
Harsh cleared his throat and said 'Shivaay is there something that we are missing out on?'
Shivaay said 'Yes as a matter of fact there is. I love Annika and she loves me too. We want to get married and that too soon.'
Jhanvi got up and said 'Are you out of your mind Shivaay, your brother has just passed away and you are thinking of getting married.'
Shivaay said 'Well I am sorry for being so insensitive but he is not my brother, he is your son. And honestly I don't give a damn about him or you. Now I didn't perhaps like my mother but the fact is that she was humiliated in her own house by your presence. And I had to pay a price for that. I have been paying a price for everything that was yours and Mr.Oberoi's mistake. So now I want to take my own decisions and live my own life. I don't care whether your son is living or dead. Actually it's a great thing that he is gone, otherwise his womanising tendency might have led him to misbehave with Annika and I might have had to kill him myself.'
Jhanvi slapped Shivaay and shouted 'How dare you ? How dare you talk about my son like that?'
Shivaay held his face where she had hit him and said 'Your son deserved it. And this slap too. But unfortunately it's too late now.'
Jhanvi was quivering with anger and said 'Who gives you the right to say rubbish about me and my son? You are saying that your amazing mom and you suffered because of us? Oh no Mr Shivaay Singh Oberoi , we suffered. I have lived here without an identity and my son has been declared as someone else's son. Everyday it has broken my heart to be called a mistress.'

Shivaay smirked and said 'A heart would be broken if you had one. And this hatred of yours for my mother makes me wonder whether you killed her. And I think maybe you did. See this.'
He took out a sheaf of paper and threw it on Jhanvi's face and continued 'Your darling son got my dad divorce papers as a birthday gift for you. Now my mom got to know about this and being the crazy cold hearted woman that she was , she made plans to finish Aditya. So I am guessing, you got to know about this plan and killed my mother instead. Makes sense?'

Jhanvi said 'No , it doesn't. Why should I kill her.'
'Other than the fact that you were insanely jealous of her and had told me everyday that you wanted to finish her off.' piped up Harsh
Jhanvi said 'You aren't serious? You can't be doubting me.'
Harsh said 'At this moment, I am finding it a little hard not to.'
Jhanvi said 'Well if that's the case then I think you are the master mind behind all this. You killed my son because you found out about him double crossing you in your business and we all know how low you can stoop for your business and you killed Anjana because you were tired and sick of her psychotic behaviour each day. Yes, Harsh, this makes more sense doesn't it?'

Jhanvi then looked around and spotted Mri looking at all of them in a scared manner and said 'And while we continue this blame game of ours , why don't we put our suspicions on that girl as well.'
Shivaay growled 'You leave Mri out of this woman.'
Jhanvi said 'Why should I ? We all know her past history. Maybe that's what is making her do all this.'
Mri spoke now and it was a voice so cold that it could have sent a chill down anyone's spine 'Ms.Oberoi , I am not a murderer unlike you , mom or dad. And my past is long gone . So I think you should worry more about your future and yourself.'
Something about her cold voice made Shivaay look at her. It was very unlike Mri. Shivaay then caught sight of Annika , who was getting sick and shocked of this family accusations. He bellowed and said 'I want to get married to Annika in a week and that's final & the good news for you all is that by the week after, she , Mri and I will leave for someplace elsewhere. So just a matter of two weeks and we will be out of your sight.'
Harsh looked at Shivaay and said 'Fine , you will get a wedding you won't forget. I will get the best wedding planners to get this marriage done.'
Jhanvi looked mutinous and said 'I knew you you would eventually choose this son of yours.'
Harsh said 'Well I don't regret it. At least he didn't double cross me . Now stop your melodrama and go back to bed. It's enough for one night.'

Shivaay took Annika to the door and said 'I really don't know what is happening. I am so sorry you have to face all this. But believe me , we just have to bear this for another two weeks and then we will be off to NYC. My business is almost settled there and we will make a fresh start.'
Annika said 'Don't be sorry for this. We both are in this together and I won't leave you. But do you really think this is a good time to get married? I mean are you sure about the rush. I can wait.'
Shivaay said 'No, I don't want to wait. I want to be as far as possible from this evil murder thingy.'
But as he said it , both Annika and Shivaay knew that until the murderer did his job he won't rest.
