Anjali pov :-

I stood in front of his study room taking a deep breath I knocked on the door but didn't heard any respond from other side so I twisted the door knob and pushed it open. But the study room was empty.

I searched our room he wasn't there either, I couldn't find him in the whole mansion. But I didn't searched on east part. So I started walking towards east part.

My Anxiety level increased as I reached infront of last door of this floor . Last time when I was here Arjun got mad at me but this time I'll find the Serect no matter what . the door wasn't locked so I pushed it to open it. A gasp release my mouth at the sight infront of me.

It's a bed room.

Even though the room was dark but I could make out it was quite huge and we'll furnished. But the place was filled with dust and furniture were covered with white cloths. I couldn't take the details of the room as my sight fell on person sitting on bed .

Arjun ...

He was sitting on bed holding photo frame in his hands. He was so lost in thought that he didn't even notice my presence. I slowly made my way inside and sat beside him still he didn't acknowledge me. I slowly placed my hand on his shoulder.
"Arjun.. " I called him in soft tone.

He slowly turned towards me. My heart pained seeing him. His eyes were filled with unshed tears . He just stared into my eyes without saying anything. There were lots of emotions running in his eyes but most of all they held pain...

Only you can make him free from the pain..

Dhruvs words echoed in my ears. I held his faced with one hand.
"you can't keep the pain bottle up inside you Arjun. It will slowly kill you". I said in soft tone but he was just staring into my eyes.

"you have to share with someone, tell me Arjun, tell me everything".
I again asked in soft tone.

"I can't, it's painful ". His voice cracked and so broken.

"let me help you, let me take away your pain arjun.  I can't see you like this ".i said trying hard to convince him.

Few moments passed in silence. Non of us talked. But Arjun slowly turned the photo frame which he was holding towards me. There were a couple in the pic .

"my parents Ashok and shanthi. There were the best parents in the world. My mother was the most amazing women I have ever met. She was kind and beautiful. She would always smile lighting our day. She is the best human I have ever met."  he paused and took a deep breath

"my father Ashok was a well known  doctor. He was respected by everyone. He was kind and always wanted to help the poor. He ambition was to built a hospital where the poor can get free treatment for cold to cancer.
He was madly in love with my mom. Even after so many years of marriage his love for my mom never decreased but increased day by day. They both loved us to the core. We were happy family, but one day... ". He paused again but didn't continued.

I held his had and gave a soft squeeze
, indicating him to continue . But he didn't . I sighed.  I know it's difficult for him. But he has to open up. I glanced over the room. There were many photos of Arjuns parents  hanging on the wall. Also some of arjuns childhood pics. But my eyes cought on one picture . It was girl may be in late teenage. She was beautiful with fair skin hazel eyes. She had a long hair and her smile is as beautiful as the full moon.

"who is she? ". I questioned him pointing at that picture. Arjun turned to that picture and a small curve took place on his lips.

"riya ". The moment he said her name with so much love I hated her. I don't even know who is she but still I felt jealous of her.

"who is she? ". I questioned him again wanting to know more about her.

"she is my elder sister but I always used to call her by her name. She used to be so cheerful and naughty. Always bothering me saying that I was adopted and my parents love her more than me. Our house would be filled with her laughter. She loves me so much and for every Raksha bandhan she used to present me the latest video game even though I should be the one to give present . I swore on my life that I'll protect her from every evil . But... But.. I.. I couldn't protect her..from those basterds... I.. ". He trailed off

"what happened to her? ". I questioned him.

"she was murdered with my parents ". He stated his voice held only pain. Pain of loosing his family . I feel so guilty for assuming thing about her I felt ashamed of myself.

"how did that happen ?"

"one day my father found out that some thing wrong was going on in that hospital which he was working. Later he found out that hospital trustees were involved in medical mafia and  illegal supply of human organs. The medicine they use were also fake , patients would die using that fake tablets. He wouldn't tolerate it.
So he collected all the information about it as a proof. He thought that he could complain to police . He didn't share this matter with any one except his friend.  But that basterd was greedy and sold the proof to the trustees. One night, the night I couldn't forget, we were sitting on the dining table having dinner. The door bell rang and my father went to open it. Me, riya and mom we remain in the dining room. But few seconds after that gun shot was heard with my dad's painful cry. We all ran to the living room . There were more than twenty people with gun in the living room. My dad was lying on the floor with blood around him. Those mens were kicking him and cursing.  My mom ran towards my dad but before she can reach my dad, a man grabbed hair pulling her. I ran to that men and started beating him and yelling at him to leave my mother. But he was stronger than me he gave me a hard punch I fell on the floor.my  Mouth started bleeding but I didn't give up I tried to fight them. My sister and mother were pleading them to let me free. But that person whom I used to call uncle pulled a trigger killing my mom. I scremed as my mom fell lifelessly on the ground. I felt so pathetic and help less. My father eyes were half closed as the long tear fell from his eyes. Other man strode towards my sister. I thought they were gonna kill her to. I struggled to get free but I couldn't. He stood in front of riya and held her forearm pulling her into him. He started tearing of her clothes. My sister cried hystericaly. Being a young boy I didn't know what he was doing. I just knew that he is hurting my sister. She was begging him not to do it. But that basterd... He.. He..raped my sister in front of me. Also those men did. I couldn't do anything. After there were done they killed her with bullet. They dragged her to my father who was staring at me apologeticaly. They set them on fire in front of me. I was crying for help for the whole time but no one came Anju ... After setting my family on fire. They stabbed me four times and left from their thinking that I was dead but I was only unconscious. Next morning I woke in the hospital. Doctors informed that I was unconscious for 2 weeks. When I asked them about my parent's they informed that my sister and father were burned into ashes but my mother body was half burned so buried in grave yard. "..

" that day I swore on taking revenge on every single person of that night. I'll bloody kill them painfully. That day they killed that innocent boy arjun. ".. He completed

"arjun"..i was crying terribly. My body was shaking. All these days I have been hating this man now feel so sorry for him and I feel so guilty for cursing in the beginning.

"I'm so sorry ". I clutched his shirt and cried harder .

"Anju dont cry. You didn't do any thing ". He said pulling me into hug.

For the world he might be a cold hearted devil but inside he a young boy who suffered so much in such a young age.

I don't see a mafia leader or a murderer in him, now I could only see the boy who saw his family die infront of him.
