61 The Book
Part 61 The Book
Arnav was shocked to the core to see the book. It was the complete details of the Murthy brothers' property. Arnav was dumbfounded because they even had a Swiss bank account. He wondered how Sathya Narayana collected all the details. It seemed he collected the details, forming an exceptional crew. It showed how much he hated the Murthy brothers.
Arnav called Satyanarayana. He attended the call and didn't even reach the house.
"I know you will call me."
"How did you collect all the details about them? How is it possible for you?"
"What do you think of me, Arnav? I'm not just a barking dog. I am alive and expecting to attack my prey. We can't enter your village. That does not mean I can't get the details about them. My men have been behind them for years..."
"If your men wear behind them, why didn't they wear behind my father? You would have understood she was innocent if you had assigned a few behind him."
"Do you really think I would not have done that?"
"Did you?"
"Yes, I did..."
"But you would not have got anything negative about my father because he didn't do anything wrong... am I right?"
"Yes... I didn't get anything negative about Arvind. Yet, I didn't console myself because I thought my men would have missed it"
"Mmm..."
"What are you going to do with this?"
"What do you think? What do you want me to do?"
"Tear their masks and kick them out of the palace"
"Mmm... I will surely tear their masks, but I'm not sure they will be kicked out of the palace because it's not mine. I don't know if it's still in my father's hands. He can't make any decision going against Amma"
"But, keeping them in the palace is equal to sleeping with a python on the same bed."
"Mmm.."
"Let me know if you want any help from my end"
"Sure... thank you." Arnav disconnected the call and headed to Arvind's room, but stopped. He saw Khushi entering her room from the first floor.
He went to her room and knocked on the door. Khushi opened the door a little and looked through the gap. She opened the door wide, seeing Arnav. he entered the room.
"What are you doing, closing the door?"
"I always close the door..."
"I know... I just kidding..."
"By the way, what are you doing here?"
"Do I need a reason to be here?"
"Don't you need?"
"We are going to get married..."
"But, we are not married yet"
"We will... soon..."
"Arnav sir, why don't you go to the mountain again?"
"Whaaat?" Arnav chuckled.
"I think you will meet Ghorakar there"
"No, Khushi, I don't want to act against his wish. He conveyed to me through Kasi that he is always with me. So, I don't care about anything or anyone. He will save us in any situation. No matter how hard it is"
"Your faith will bring him to you," Khushi said, smiling. Then her smile vanished, and she noticed something.
"Arnav sir, where is your ring you got at Kalabairava Temple?"
Arnav looked at his finger and said,
"Yeah, I removed it"
"But why?"
"It slightly scratched my finger, so I removed it"
"Have you gone mad?"
"Why?"
"You got it in Kala Bairava Temple. When I took it from you, I had a dream: a black Dog bit my finger. Do you forget it?"
"Of course, not...I told you, it's scratching..."
"Give it to me..."
Cutting her off,
"Why? Do you want the dog to really bite your finger?"
Khushi rolled her eyes.
"I will never wear the ring. I will get it repaired"
"Oh...ok, I will give it later. Now, come with me"
"Where?"
"Where else? To the dining room to have coffee"
"To the dining room to have coffee? Is it a new habit?"
"I would like to have coffee with Appa and Amma"
Khushi became nervous.
"Why?"
"It feels awkward to face Aunty."
"Get used to it. Come," he said, clutching her hand. He took her with him while dialling Arvind. He attended the call.
"Appa, where are you?"
"I'm in the office room..."
"Come to the dining. Bring Amma also"
"Anything particular?"
"Just to have a coffee"
"Oh, okay..." Arvind became thoughtful. He knew Arnav would not call him just to have a coffee, so he headed to his room to bring Ratna.
In the meantime,
Murthy brothers went to Ratna's room with their families. Ratna looked at them plainly.
"Won't you call us inside?"
"Are you here on my invitation?" Ratna questioned.
They entered.
"You are mistaken, Ratna"
She looked at them without expression.
"We want our relationship to continue for generations. That's why we tried."
"Not every relationship is related to marriage. Many relationships live on the earth beyond marriages..."
"Maybe, but only the wedding can give the right"
"So, you are aiming RIGHT?"
"Is it wrong?"
"It's about whose point you are seeing that from. From your point, it may be right, but from my point, it's not..."
"Don't you want your brothers to be happy?"
"Don't you want your sister to be happy?"
The Murthy brothers were stuck.
"I have already lost many years. I want my life to be happy from here on. I don't want to spoil it for no reason"
"No reason?"
"Yes... Arnav loves Khushi. In front of their love, no reason will stand. I want their marriage to happen, and I will make it happen."
"But, Ratna, there is no measure for happiness. We can be happy in any situation. Just think, how happy you were with Arvind? He was happy with you even after his wife died. Likewise, everything will be all right"
"Likewise, get your daughters married to someone and ask them to be happy with their respective husbands..."
"How will we be here after their marriage?"
"Why? Don't you have anything? What happened to your property?"
"We lost everything in a fire accident. We didn't come here for no reason. Our whole property was burned in a fire. That's why Mama brought us here. After coming here, we gave our support to Mama not only personally but also professionally. We did what he said. In that, we didn't think of our lives. We forgot to save money for ourselves," Chandra Murthy said emotionally.
Ratna became thoughtful. She knew her brothers were not so generous, who didn't think about their future.
"What are you thinking, Ratna? Don't you trust us?"
That was when they heard,
"Why doesn't she trust you?"
Arvind entered the room, looking at Ratna.
"Nothing... we just told her what happened to our properties"
"Oh...come on, Ratna, let's have coffee"
Ratna nodded and walked with him. The Murthy brothers followed them. Ratna smiled seeing Arnav at the dining. Ratna smiled at him. The Murthy brothers spared a glance at each other. Ratna sat in front of Arnav.
Ratna smiled when she saw Khushi bring coffee for them. She served coffee to Arvind, Arnav, and Ratna.
"I will bring it for them." Khushi was supposed to return to the kitchen, but Arnav stopped her.
"Ask the servant to bring it. You sit"
Khushi looked at Arvind and Ratna.
"Sit, Khushi. The servant will bring it," Ratna said.
Khushi sat with them.
"Amma. I found something," Arnav said, sipping the tea.
"What, Arnav?"
"I want you to know everything because you should be clear in your stand"
"Yeah, I too want the same. You can tell me anything. I will listen to you"
"Thanks, Amma"
Arnav removed the book that Sathya Narayana gave him. He extended it to Ratna. She opened it and gave it a look. Her facial expression changed into something. She glared at her brothers. Arvind was confused as he didn't know what was there in the book.
To be continued...
