18)The missing puzzle
Whatever the truth he knows now, he wasn't sure if I was true. He can't trust her father as well. By saying that, he was convinced to marry her to Sanskar, does that make him less guilty? He was behind this all.....
He goes to meet Ratan.
Ratan was carving a wood.
And he looks at Karan.
Since they met this morning. What made him come to him again.
Karan:Ratan... Can you repeat me the entire thing about Sanskar again .. without missing a point?!
Ratan:what happened?
Karan: it's like despite now I know the truth ... I feel something's missing.
Ratan:what?
Karan:I met Tejasswi's father today... He told me something but I can't trust him yet. So repeat everything you know.
Ratan: I know this whatever tejasswi had told me.
Karan:do you know there's a strange thing happened on the other day where people came to visit Sanskar. Each one of them spoke to me. People were advising and requesting me the same thing but one person had to tell me a different thing. But I think of this I can actually get Sanskar's death was not just a simple reason of Tejasswi's family's disapproval.
Ratan starts repeat things of whatever he know that happened on the wedding day of Tejasswi and Sanskar.
What Ratan and tejasswi did was do what they saw and what they heard.
Tejasswi had become sentimental which only made her think of one side problem.
But the good thing now was Karan wasn't able to think about one side.
Ratan: tejasswi was initially mentioned that Sanskar abandoned her on that day. But it was not true. And after around 3 months she heard her brothers speak about killing sanskar and pushing him into the the cliff.
Karan:I know that he did social services.but, what he used to do for the job. Since I heard he was an architect.
Ratan:what I know was, he didn't used to work for anyone but he was consultant architect and also individually make designs for the building and mansions.
Karan nods:does he have any enemies?
Ratan : there could be since he was an activist, many factories and industries were closed because of him. He got many threatens but he wasn't scared of anyone. Wait...
He stops: I don't know how he was stabbed, but he was professional judo artist. He had a knack to fight anyone and defend himself. He has a record to defend himself with 18 professionals all together.

Karan watched kids were doing judo and karate.their skill were commendable.
And there was an old man who was teaching them this art.
He was Sanskar's teacher.
When Ratan and Karan explained him situation though he knew it. He visited sanskar for the last time too.
.

Karan watched Tejasswi doing her classical dance there inside room.
This was the first time he saw her do this.
He closed the door and walked.

"Hello" Karan seeked an attention of a man who used to be opponent of Sanskar in judo.
Karan talks with him.
He:I know Sanskar..and I also heard about him just yesterday. I missed meeting him for the last time. I couldn't pay attention in anything. I still couldn't believe that he is no more in this world!
Karan: generally I lived in abroad quite a sometime now and I learnt something there. Whenever a case like this happen. People go meet their opponents to know how exactly the man was .. I mean you can tell me anything about Sanskar, even if it's bad I'll listen!
Ratan looks at him.
He smiles:did you not meet Sanskar?
Karan looks at him.
He:I can guess it. I have a video. Do you wanna see...
He:he had great skill. You can guess his next move. It will always be surprising. I always got angry since I couldn't win. It was his time pass but my career.that was depressing.
It was a black and white video.
Karan looks at the skill of Sanskar. It was impressive.
He:but you know what?his smile was very contagious.seriously, how angry I was but his smile was a warmth.that I always ended up accepting defeat.
Karan:what do you think.. how difficult it would be for people to defeat him. I mean.. his death wasn't simple. He was stabbed multiple times.
He:even I too don't understand this.i always thought defeating him is an impossible task. Isse zyada mein kuch keh nahi sakta.
Karan was about to go
He:but you didn't tell me. Who are you?
Karan:his well wisher.
.
.
.
.
.
He stopped the car at the garage.
And he sees the man who was changing the engine oil.
He moved at the man sees him. He was Maan.
Karan met him at sanskar's funeral.
Maan:aap?
Karan:I wanted to talk to you about Sanskar!!!
Maan:what do you want to speak about him?
Karan:because you were the last person who sanskar was with?!
Maan :please I don't want to talk about that bad memories.
Karan:but I want to talk... In that way we can give punishment to tejasswi's family. You are our eye witness.
Maan:I am ready to do it.. but will they spare me for the second time. Before I reach the law, they will kill me.
Karan:they wouldn't, I promise you to protect you. But just tell me what happened?!
Maan narrated him about whatever happened of that day...
Maan:I am sorry that I am telling you this but if tejasswi back out, Sanskar would have been alive by now. If tejasswi had to live happily with you anyway then she should have let go Sanskar. Though she isn't behind this but that doesn't make her less guilty.
Karan didn't say anything.
Maan:few months back I saw her with you in a restaurant. She came to me asking forgiveness... But I can't forgive her for Sanskar. Now she's playing victim card but the fact cannot be changed that she is the main reason due to which Sanskar lost his life.
Karan had nothing more to say anything.
Maan:I am sorry..
He controlled himself.
When a boy brings tea for them .
Karan takes it. And sat there.
That boy asked to sign some document.
He was looking for the pen.
When Karan forwards him the pen.
"This pen" Maan muttered.
Maan:Sanskar had the similar pen, and it was his last I had it with me. But some days back it went missing. Seri g this I remembered how possessive he was about this pen!
After sometime Karan was about to go...
Maan:I know isme tejasswi ki koi galti nahi hai... I always blame her for this. She was sear to Sanskar, so I would say please take care of her!
Karan looks at him and nods.
Maan smiles a bit.

Karan was writing the entire thing in his diary. Somethibg was missing out for sure!!!
He met with the people he helped.
Tejasswi knocks on the door:khana lag chuka hai.
Karan nods.
He stood and moves passing by her.she held his wrist.
Tejasswi:I am sorry... I remember that night. I even didn't respect your feelings.
Karan didn't say anything.
Tejasswi:I am sorry, I took advantage of your kindness. Because I felt you are the only way I could get out of my house.
He frees his hand from her wrist:I have only one question. Why didn't you tell me?
He didn't even turn towards you.
Tejasswi:I..I..never found any right opportunity.
Karan turns to her, his eyes welled up:jhoot, don't lie to me on my face. The fact was you never intended to tell me. There was countless opportunity with you. You never intended because I was just your advantage to get out from your house,this was your safe side. That's it!
He controlled himself from bursting more on her since she was fragile now.
Karan: let's eat the food. Come!
She followed him.
Tejasswi:you are right I found you as advantage. I was supposed to leave right after the marriage.
He stops
Tejasswi:but your surrounding felt more comfortable to complete my revenge.
He resisted himself from saying anything though he was angry.
Tejasswi:in my turmoil, I never realised that I was betraying you. I never wanted to live. But you raised a bar to me and got the intention of living. But I still wanted to leave from here few days back. But soon I will do that, give me sometime. That will be the better end for your relation!
Karan:I have already prepared for divorce.
She looks at him nods.
Karan:wait for sometime then!!!
They sit in dining.
Karan was eating food. He didn't even look at her once.
While she watched him.
Karan:can I ask something?
Tejasswi who was already looking at him. Get alert by him.
Karan:so whatever between us was just your show to put up in front of me?
She didn't reply.
Karan:no... I seriously thought it was real. I thought you liked me but...it was all an act? You shouldn't have played with my feelings when you knew it took me time to forget my past. That day Mrunalini wished for our future, I felt relieved and good that I got someone who understands my feelings... Meri aisi qismat kahan ..
Tejasswi:I am sorry.. I never wanted to do this...
Karan: don't speak this when it's already done tejasswi... When the harm is already it's no benefit to speak about it. I understand you have gone through a lot, if I was in your shoes, I might have done similar things. But you need to understand me as well!!!
Karan:Sanskar was a good hearted man, I realised that, his suffering was unfair for the good things he did. It was like God was not kind to him for the kindness he shows to the people here. And You, tejasswi you are ready to ruin your family for his unfair life he went through. But I had no connection with you both until then, then why did betray with my feelings. Why did you break my trust? You shouldn't have given me a hope!!!
She cried silently.
Tejasswi:I really didn't wanted drag you in my misery. I didn't wanted to hurt one more person I really cared about. I knew someday if my family know about my revenge, they won't spare me. I was prepared to this but I wouldn't let you take the punishment for my deeds.
She literally joined her both her palm and cried: I am sorry for everything!!!
He held her hands:ab iska koi faayda nahi hai.
***
Karan was searching for his diary in which he written every point of this case.
He searched the entire room.
He opens wardrobe in continue of his search.
Since he thought he might have kept there and forgot about it.
But something shocked him.
He takes that thing in his hand.
It was the 'pen'
He moved out and saw tejasswi down stairs and she was cutting fruits?
He was about turn brushing of his thoughts but again turns and the diary was on the table beside her.
He clearly remembers it was not there before.
He certainly gets a realisation which shocks him!!!
To be continued....
So how's it?
Can anyone say, what Karan is thinking now?
