Raakshas - A human demon novel Chapter 47

Author's p.o.v

Today is Diwali and Pari's whole family has come to meet her and her little daughter.  Her family was craving to see her.

Pari opened the main door of her house and found that her whole family is standing at the door with happy smiles.

" Di!" Prisha said excitedly and hugged Pari tightly. Rajveer and Prima are standing beside Pari looking at everyone smilingly.

" How are you, Prisha? I missed you so much," Pari asked getting emotional.

Prisha replied patting her sister's back," I am good, Di. I missed you too."

After that, Pari's other family members hugged her as well. Pari hugged her father and cried out loudly since she is seeing him after many days. Pari is still unaware of her father's sin.

Manish said to Pari kissing her forehead," My dear daughter, I missed you so much."

Pari replied emotionally touching her father's hairs," Your hairs have turned white. You should start using hair colours."

Everybody laughed hearing Pari and Manish pulled his daughter's cheeks affectionately.

" I hope you are fine, Sasur ji," Rajveer said to Manish smirking who was standing glances from Rajveer.

Manish gulped down his saliva and replied nervously," I am good."

After that, Rajveer didn't say anything to Manish and Manish also didn't say anything to Rajveer. But, some kind of tension can be felt between them.

Pari welcomed her whole family inside her house. They all seated in the living room area and started talking with each other. Servants started serving snacks for the guests.

Manish was also talking with his daughter when he received a call. He excused himself and went to the balcony to receive the call.

" Why are you calling me now? I am at my daughter's house,"  Manish said lowering his voice.

The other person said nagging," I was missing you. That's why I called you. When will you come?"

" I will come tomorrow," Manish said and cut the call. Well, it was a call from Manish's 2nd wife. Pari is still unaware of her father's 2nd marriage.

Manish turned his head behind and found that Rajveer is standing at the door. He is leaning a little at the door stuffing his hands in his pant pocket. His signature smirk is plastered on his lips.

" How is my stepmother in law? Rajveer asked sarcastically and Manish didn't pay attention to his sarcasm.

Manish tried to ignore him by leaving the balcony. Before he could leave the balcony Rajveer stopped him on his path and said to irritate Manish," When I will meet my stepmother in law?

" Kuch raj, raj hi rehna chahiye( Some mystery should remain a mystery). It's good for both of us," Manish said annoyingly and left Rajveer behind.

Rajveer didn't say anything further and smiled seeing Manish's worried face. He doesn't know why he feels so much good while irritating Manish.

Raakshas is returning to the living room when he noticed that Abdul chacha is coming out of Vedant's room. His eyes are teary and sadness is clearly visible on his face.

Rajveer went towards Abdul and rested his one hand on Abdul's shoulder. He asked Abdul gently," Don't worry about him. He will be fine very soon."

" I don't know who's bad eyes had fallen on Vedant and his children. I miss them so much. I miss my daughter Niharika and her little bunnies," Abdul said shedding his tears.
