Part 62
Ratna was shocked by the details in the book. She looked at her brothers unbelievably. Didn't they say they lost everything in the fire accident and worked for her husband? Then, how did they get such a massive amount of money that would be deposited in the Swiss Bank?
"What's that, Ratna?" Arvind asked.
Ratna gave it to him. Arvind was also shocked to see that. He looked at Arnav questioningly, but didn't question as he gestured for him through a blink.
Ratna snatched the book from Arvind and threw it at Chandra Murthy.
"What the hell is this?" Ratna asked wrathfully.
Chandra Murthy looked at the book, and Krishna Murthy also peeped in. They were shocked to the core to see their property details in the book. How did Arnav get it? He had just come to the village. Then how did he know about their Godown's fire accident? How did he find it was not true but a framed one?
They looked at each other and then at Ratna.
"Yes, Ratna, would he do the same if he is your son?" Savithri again brought the son issue. That frustrated Ratna.
"Bhabi, he is accusing you not because he is not my son. He is doing that because my brothers are cheating me"
"Cheating? Do you think we can cheat you?"
"Yes... Didn't you say you don't have a penny? Then how did you have millions in your Swiss Bank account? Do you think I'm a dumb not to know about the Swiss Bank?"
"Those who have piles of black money only have Swiss account" Arvind said looking at Ratna sternly.
"How did you guys earn a five star hotel wroth rupees 200 crore in Chennai? From where did you get money? I know you don't have that huge amount until I became mad. Then, how did you earn that in the fifteen years?" Ratna was furious.
"I don't know what to say, Ratna. It seems Arnav is fully set to remove us from his path... I don't know why he is angry with us..." Krishna Murthy tried to turn the table.
Arnav looked at them sharply, whereas Ratna frowned.
"Do you say these are all fake?" Arnav asked.
"What else will we say if these are fake? How could we earn such a huge amount of money shortly after the fire accident that destroyed everything?" Chandra Murthy questioned.
"The fire accident itself is fake..." Arnav said.
"What do you mean, Arnav? The whole village witnessed the fire accident"
"The people might have witnessed the fire accident, but did they see what was there in the godown? They just believed what was said. And most probably, no one would think of it as a framed accident when it happened in front of their eyes."
"Do you say we faked the accident?"
"Yes... There was nothing but cotton bundles and bran bundles in the godown when the fire accident occurred." Arnav said.
"Why should we do that, Ratna? What necessary?"
"To become a part of this palace." There was no hesitation in Arnav's voice.
"Why should we become a part of this Palace, when we have substantial business deals? Do you say we thought to abduct this heirless property? Do you say we came here to become a king and a queen? Do you say we wanted to seize the property?" Krishna Murthy shouted.
"I didn't say anything but you", Arnav said plainly.
Krishna Murthy was stuck. He came to Ratna.
"Ratna, he hasn't liked us since day one. We would have left the palace if he had asked us to leave directly. Instead, why is he accusing us? Just think, he was not here when the accident happened. Then how could he accuse us? Someone should have manipulated him and he is accusing us going on others' words..."
"Arnav might not have been here when the accident happened, but I am," a voice said from the entrance.
All of them looked at Sathya Narayana, who was standing there.
"You? What do you know about us? Who are you interfering in our family problem?" Chandra Murthy howled.
"I might not be related to this family, but Arvind and Arnav are my friends, and I'm their well-wisher. If Arvind or Arnav asks me to leave, I will surely do it," Sathya Narayana said, looking at Arvind and Arnav.
"Get in, Sathya... tell me what you want to" Arvind permitted him to talk.
"Mama, do you trust him over us?" Krishna Murthy asked.
"Yes, he trusts me over you. Can't you understand that?" Sathya Narayana said.
"What do you want to say? What do you know about them? How? Tell us," Ratna said.
Sathya Nayarana become soft.
"I know everything about them. From the time the fire accident happened, I have been watching their moves keenly"
"But why?" Ratna asked.
Not only Sathya Narayana but also Arvind and Arnav were stuck. They didn't know how Sathya Narayana was going to handle the situation. They knew he could not declare the reason. They saw him composing himself.
"I will tell you why I watched them. This village has a special feature in it. We know anyone with bad intentions could not enter this village... no one could escape from here after doing wrong. There were a lot of incidents happened when you were ill... recently, Kali temple Pandit died in the temple itself..."
Ratna widened her eyes in shock.
"Yes, the temple gazebo was collapsed on him"
"Is it?" Ratna asked Arvind who nodded yes.
Arnav and Khushi saw the Murthy Brothers gulping down.
"But, what he did?"
"He helped someone with the BLACK MAGIC"
"Whaaat? Being a Kali Temple Pandit, how did he use black Magic?"
"On someone's assistance..." Sathya Narayana said.
The Murthy Brothers suffocated.
"Oh... ok, come to our matter" Ratna said.
"Yup... your brothers fired their godown and sent their manager, Mr Kandhan, to your husband to convey the message"
The Murthy brothers were horrified. How did Sathya Narayana know that?
"Arvind trusted what Kandan said because he knew Kandan was loyal, but your brothers made him lie."
"This is a lie... why should we make him lie?" Krishna Murthy yelled.
"Let him finish", Ratna said sternly. She knew about Kandan. He was their loyal worker. She looked at Arvind.
"Was that Kandan who conveyed the matter to you?"
Arvind nodded yes.
"He was the one who took me to the godown. When I went there, nothing was remaining. Everything became ashes," Arvind said.
"After lying to Arvind, Kandhan regretted his actions and feared death because he continuously had a dream of a black dog chasing him around the Kala Bairava Temple."
Arnav and Khushi spared a glance as Khushi also got the same dream.
"So, Kandan decided to leave the village. At the same time, he knew it was not easy. So, he went to the Siddha Temple and cried to the pandit, asking for help. He was ready to help Kandan with one condition"
"What condition?"
"Kandan should tell the truth when it is needed. Kandan agreed to it. The Pandit sent him to my village Pancha Nandi,"
All were surprised and the Murthy brothers were shocked. Was Kandan in Pancha Nandhi?
"No, he is framing a story. Kandan went to his in-laws town and settled down. I heard a few years ago that Kandan was dead" Krishna Murthy made up a story confidently as he thought Kandan would have showed up at least once if he was in Pancha Nandhi.
"No... he is not dead but still alive..." Sathya Narayana said and called,
"Kandan..."
The next minutes, Kandan showed up, making the Murthy brother froze.
