Raajiv's PoV
I knew this would be hard. But I never knew this would be horrible and heart wrecking. My mother has a mental illness. She is very dangerous to be let out just as a person. But she has been working as a doctor. I couldn't even imagine all the awful things that could have happened.
My grandma used her own child's illness to help her make money? How cruel is she! She has been doing this awful thing even on her deathbed. She is a monster. If treated at the right time, my mom would have become a great doctor. The real criminals are my grandma and her brother. I couldn't believe that my mom killed my dad by giving him that injection that induces heart attack. Being a doctor, she didn't even try to help him but enjoyed his life end! I don't know if it's too late to treat her. But I know it's better for her to stay in jail.
"Why are you still standing here? You don't have any questions?" my mom asked me.
"No!" I said. I am afraid to lose my cool. I tried to go out when she called me again.
"Raaj!" I turned to see her. Her eyes shone brightly. She has no regret for what she has done.
"I never wanted you to marry Akshitha. She was just a prey for us." she said.
"So you knew she was in love with Yadav?" I asked her unbelievably.
"Ha, I knew more than that. We always got information on them from Uncle Ben. Only recently we knew her blood group. We knew she was coming to Chennai for work. We planned to take her down. Everything would have worked fine, if Ben uncle didn't want to let her live. He suggested we take Kavya instead of Akshitha. That son of a bitch Yadav was digging up everything that made us make mistakes. When we knew Akshitha and Yadav loved each other, I contacted her mom asking for her daughter's hand in marriage with you. I wanted to make a gap between them. I thought Yadav would lose interest in finding us if he was distracted. I made their gap big when Dheeksha brought Shiva and Yadav for lunch. But that bastard did whatever he was doing at an even faster pace!" she screamed .
"Despite your illness, you are wicked and cruel, mom. Just think that you killed us too. Your chapter in our lives is done for good." I exited the room with a heavy heart.
The more we go away from her, the more we will be at peace! I went out to find Dheeksha crying in the arms of Shiva. She is in good hands. Her future is shining bright. I went near them and he let her out of his hands.
"Dheekshu, we have to sign some documents to transfer the properties that legally have to go to Akshitha and her mom. I am going to make papers that say we are free of our mom, that we have no connection with her or whatever she is connected to. I am not going to attend any trials to bring her out. I'm out." I told her.
"Do whatever is good for us, anna. I never want to see her again." she said in between her sobs.
"Raajiv, I'm so proud of you. You did what is right. This is not the right time, but I would like to prepone our wedding. I would say, we both get married soon and move on with our lives." Shiva said. He is right. Pondering upon what happened is not going to get us anywhere. I should prove myself clean to get my reputation back. Dheekshu has to do it too. We have to think forward to move on with our lives. We have no one now except for ourselves. We need to make a family that is true and loving to us. Getting married is one way we would get what we wanted.
I nodded to him as my response. Yadav brought Akshitha to us. She is tired of crying too.
"Here, be with them. I will be back in a minute." he said to her.
"No!" She held him tight, not letting him go.
"Pch, Shia listen. I will be with you in no time." he freed himself from her and went back into that room where Benjamin was held captive.
Yadav's PoV
I couldn't see her cry like this. I have a death wish for that bastard. I want to know why he wanted to see me. But I could not let her cry all alone.
"Shhh Shia, Calm down. It's all over now!" I tried telling her.
But she cried like there is no tomorrow. It hurts me to see her cry.
"I will make sure they all reap what they sowed. If you want them dead, I can make that happen too." I told her if that will make her feel better.
"No, No, Yash! I wish to kill them too. But they are not worth touching. Let the court punish them. I don't want to make your hands dirty." she said leaning on my shoulder.
"Then stop crying like this."
"I don't know. I don't know what to trust in anymore. How can he pretend to be someone else for his whole life? My dad was really a good friend to him. How could he do this to my dad? I have spent the maximum of my life in his mansion with him. I have watched very old movies with him. I have shared almost all of my feelings to him more than I did to my mom. I don't know, Yash!" she cried more.
"Shia, listen to me. This is over. You have to let it go. This doesn't mean you have to change anything you trust. Be yourself. That's the real beauty in you. He is just garbage you passed by. He is not worth your time and tears."
She nodded her head in agreement with me. I saw Shiva, Dheeksha and Raajiv standing out. I took Shia to them and went back to that room with Ashok.
"Why did you want to see me?" I asked him.
"I wanted to see the man that is responsible for my descent."
"Well then, Have you seen me enough?" I stood up from the chair.
"If I had left Akshu alone, would you have stopped searching for me?" He asked me.
"It's not just about Shia. I would have caught you even if you didn't touch her."
"Why?"
"I hate people who earn money by investing others. Prostitutes are to be seen with respect as compared to you." I spat at him.
"Do you think I did this for money? I have plenty. I have more money than you have." He said with cold eyes.
"You are wasting my time Benjamin."
"I did this as a business, Yadav. You have your business that is given down to you by your father. I had none. I made my own business. Know what? I am very good at it!" he laughed. I stood up again to leave.
