IPKKND FF FELONIOUS

Part 5(D)

She knew if there is love then there sure will be the pain but never ever have she imagined it is going to be a punishment like this. Everyone is secretive around her. Her family is straight away refusing to divulge the reason for objecting Shyam and Shyam -she didn't even know his whereabouts, it's like he disappeared from the face of the earth after the call, there is no further communication from his side or maybe her family is not letting it reach till her.

Standing under the shower her thoughts were completely occupied with only the current situation when she heard it. The backup alarm of the car, the alarm which is a combination of two different songs. Long back she once requested Shyam to have these songs instead of the regular alarm. He even joked about the quiet contrasting tunes in the alarm, henceforth they used it as a signal for letting her know whenever he came to pick her up.

"Is he here?" she rushed out grabbing the bath towel.

"I think it's time I meet him directly, don't worry Madhu, I'm sure she is with him." HP gave a nod to his sister who was silently crying from the time they realized Payal is no more in the house.

Avoidance has done them no good. It's time to take the bull by its horns.

"I hope everything is okay," his stance didn't reveal anything other then what he wants to show.

"Where is Payal?" he is not patient anymore to talk in circles as if nothing happened.

"Payal? How would I know .." he looked confused.

"It's better we don't act like innocents here, we both know she is with you"

"As you say, uncle, yes you are right, she is with me and the reason for her being with me without your knowledge is known to you." His eyes have turned to a shade of red, his voice plain without any emotion, while he still was sitting in the same position as relaxed as before, if not for his eyes no one would ever be able to say that he is not normal anymore.

"You are not the one for her," HP spoke without looking at his eyes. He knew the man sitting in front of him since he was born, but he still would get intimated with his one look, his eyes would give away his thoughts but one wouldn't dare to look at them fearing to see the extent of different emotions reflecting in them.

"Offo, you are with us for like years, you worked for dad before, you didn't mind doing anything for us and here your boss is ready to marry your niece and you are denying it?"

"Yes I worked for your father, I will never forget the help I got from him, on your insistence I joined under the Raizada's, I'm keeping an eye on him, I would do many such things, I am ready to sacrifice my life but not her."

"I knew the happenings in the house and their lives more than you, you are staying there for the sake of it, I feel it's better you quit because I feel you would bring more problems than benefits."

"Anything you want, but not her"

"She will stay with me"

"You don't love her, do you?"

Shyam's face hardened with his question, a slight emotion flashed on his face but it was too late, he was back to his smiling self before HP could identify.

"You don't mind Aman working for me, do you?" he knew the old man wouldn't be able to deal with two shocking news a single day but when there is revenge there is no place for sympathy.
