Love or Revenge

Chapter 21

2 days to Aditya's wedding

Harshawardhan's flight was late and he reached his house in the morning and went straight to his room. Aditya, who was waiting for him from last night, went behind him to his room with the pen drive. He knocked on the door and Harshawardhan said, "Come in". Aditya went inside and said, "Dad, I want to show you something..." Harshawardhan cuts him off and said, "Adi... later... I don't want to see anything now..."

"But dad this is important..." Aditya said. Harshawardhan again cuts him off saying, "I said later Adi... Now get the hell out of here..."

Aditya stood there looking at his dad for a minute and without saying another word he headed out of his room. He kicked the sofa when he came out of Harshawardhan's room. Just then, he received a call from Zoya and he immediately answered it. "Did your dad come back from his trip?" she asked. "Yes... But he didn't want to listen to me... He just said he'll talk to me later", Aditya said.

"How could he do something like that?" Zoya said in high pitch. Aditya could hear her literally and in the phone. He looked at his phone in confusion. Zoya entered the living room in hurry and asked, "How dare you let him to treat you like that? How could he not listen to you?" Aditya looked at her in awe and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"I came here to help you to tell your father about Pooja and we don't have enough time, Aditya. I'll not let him to spoil your life or the time left", Zoya said and asked, "Where is he?"

Aditya looked at her dumbfounded, "Aditya where is he?" she asked him again. Aditya said, "In his room..." Immediately she yelled, "Mr. Harshawardhan Hooda" and again she yelled on top of her voice, "Mr. Harshawardhan Hooda".

She banged on the door while yelling, "Mr. Harshawardhan Hooda". Harshawardhan came out and yelled, "What the hell are you thinking and why are you yelling like this at my house?"

"What the hell am I thinking? Mr. Hooda, can you please tell me what the hell are you thinking?" Zoya questioned him. Harshawardhan looked at her fiercely. With the same rage she said, "What type of father are you? You son's life is in the edge of wreck and there is some chance to save it. But you don't want to listen to him, what type of father you are?"

"Shut up... How dare you talk to me like that? I know what to do about my son and his life... You don't have to tell me what I should do or not? You shameless..." Harshawardhan said while Zoya screamed, "Shut up... How dare you decide on Aditya's life even before listening to your own son? And how could you not give the time when your son want to tell you something?"

Aditya hurried to Zoya side and said, "Zoya, calm down, don't talk to dad like that?" Zoya turned to him and yelled, "Then what, do you want me to be nice to him? You just shut up and he should listen to you now like right now". Aditya looked her and at his father. Harshawardhan was looking at her fiercely.

"Zoya calm down, I'll talk to him", Aditya said. Zoya sighed and nodded. "Dad, you told me to prove against Pooja and we have proof against her to prove that she is not what you're thinking and we want to you show you this video, that's all", Aditya said.

Harshawardhan didn't give a damn about what Aditya was saying. He just stood there looking at them. As if she understood what's going on his mind, Zoya said, "If you don't want to see this video then it's fine", she then faced Aditya and said, "Aditya, your father doesn't seem to have interest in seeing this video, but, I think Police will be interested to see this video. Let's go to the Police, then". 

"What's there in that video?" Harshawardhan barked. "Pooja's true face" Zoya said and gestured Aditya to show him. Aditya inserted the pen drive in laptop's slot and played the video before his father changes his mind. After watching the video, Harshawardhan scratched his forehead and then he removed the pen drive from its slot. He looked at the pen drive and asked, "What are you trying to tell me with this?"
