Redemption

73.

As soon as the realisation hit me I was full of rage.

"It's not about me. " I murmur against his face. "This game " I added with a raged breath.

"Such a coward you are. Can't face him like a man, using a woman and small kids to..." I got hit in my guts almost making me trembling over the lifeless body.

"Aren't you so smart my kitten?" Aryan chuckles and make his way back in middle of the room.

"Why the old couple? " I asked "they don't have to do anything with him." I added.

"She doesn't know." Aryan made a confused face and ask randhir who just fumbled his hands with the roles around him.

"What..what I don't know?" I asked mainly to randhir but my eyes flicker to Aryan too because he look too eager and amused to tell me already.

"Oh my God we have some secrets here. Don't we randhir? " Aryan made his way to randhir.

"She doesn't know who took you to hospital after your father shoot you. I was so so close that day to take her back to me. But you ruined it all. You knew I was coming that day don't you? That's why you tell her to run." Aryan mocked randhir hitting his temple with the gun.

"It doesn't make sense. Why would you save him?" I found myself asking it aloud.

Aryan get up from his knees and make his way towards me again.

"I wanted to be the one with shot the bullet who take his life."

I shivered visibly at the coldness and hatred in his voice. The kids sit at the back listen intently. This is it. Today they going to know the real truth of their mother.

Aryan follow my gaze and smirk at my kids.

"I have a secret to tell you too randhir. " Aryan move to randhir again.

"On the day of birth of the twins. You weren't the only one who dressed up like a doctor to be in the operation theatre." Aryan chuckles.

I feel sick in my belly to know that he was so close to my kids in the day they born. Even randhir was there. I'm not sure if I should feel happy about it or sad.

"I could have just finished them right there on the day they born right in front of you. But I waited you know why?" Aryan asked randhir.

The clear hatred for randhir shone like moon in Aryan eyes.

"I waited for this day. " he took a pause. "I wanted you to beg me for their life. Life of your twins. " Aryan laughed again and made his way to the old Couple. Aunt visibly flinched away but uncle kept his face emotionless. I just realised he hasn't said a single word till now.

"You think I betrayed you, right santukta? What would you do if I tell you that they knew from the first day who you really were? What if I tell you that they helped randhir to get to you? What if I tell you that he knew when you sleep when you eat when you cru when you laugh only because of them? " he make his way to the old man.

"Won't you give your favorite student some advice, huh?" Aryan pointed the gun at head of the old man.

"No. No. Please. No Aryan. " I step ahead without realising.

You can do this sanyukta.

"Aryan. " I called out as politely as I could. Even randhir eyes darted toward me in shock.

Thank you so much.
