His Deal , His Sunshine

"Saali kamini! Hamare Bina khana kha liya!! Hum log kisi ki shadi mein bhi jayenge toh tu yeh karegi??!!" Rinki, Ankita's aunt (chachi) , shouted and hold her hair tightly.

(You bitch! You ate dinner before us!! If we will go to any wedding again in future then also you will repeat it??!!)

Ankita dropped the tray from her hands, glasses shattered on floor. Rinki pushed Ankita on those sharp pieces of glasses, making her foot bleed heavily.

"Aahhhh k-kaki chod dijiye please!!! Aaahhhhhh!!! Abse nahi khaungi!!" Ankita was begging for her life.

(Aaahhhh A-aunt please leave me !!! Aaaahhhhhhhh!!! I will not repeat!!)

But does her Aunt care?

No.

"Chup ho jaa kamini khaana kese kha Liya hamare Bina!!! Ham late ky hue the, tune khana kha liya !!! tu raat ke ek baje tak bhi bhuki nhi reh skti h !!!! Hain!!!" Her aunt shouted.

(Shut the hell up you bitch and how dare you to eat it without us!!! We just got a little late and you ate dinner!! You can't even stay hungry till 1 o clock in night!!!! Tell me!!!)

"K-kaki meine subha se kuch nhi khaya tha apka hi intizar kr rhi thi pr fir b-bhu- Aaaahhhhh!!!!!"

(A-aunt I hadn't eaten since morning, I was waiting for you only but then I got hungr- aaaahhhhhhh!!!!)

Before she could complete her sentence, Rinki tightened the grip on her hair, making her hair frizzy and her scalp red. Tears were streaming from Ankita's eyes. Frightful memories of accident of Ankita's parents were replying in her mind like a worst nightmare. But every memory was blurr, because she lost all her beautiful memories in an accident.

"Bhut muh chalane lag gyi h naa!!! Ab batati hu!! Ruk!!" Rinki shouted.

(You have learnt to speak a lot, haven't you!! Let me tell you bitch!!)

Ankita was trembling and crying, whispering "Matarani, save me." like a Mantra again and again. Her trauma was triggering with blurr images of blood, dead body of her parents, shouting of people.

Suddenly Harish came running from inside the room. She was going to slap her but he hold Rinki's hand making her stop.

"Ruko!!! Shant ho jaa Rinki!!! Thakur sahab aarahe h!! Mereko abhi guard ka call aaya tha!! Isko bol chai Pani ka intezam kare!!" Her uncle, Harish shouted.

(Wait!!! Calm down Rinki!! Thakur sahab is coming!! Guard just called me!! Say her to bring snacks and water for them!!)

Rinki froze. Only one word was enough for her to stop. Her face pale. Just because of one word. "Thakur sahab".

"Pr-r unka karz toh a-apne Chuka diya tha na. H-Haina Harish?" Rinki said in trembling voice.

(But you said you paid all the loans of them. Right Harish?)

Harish remain silent. He lowered her eyes in guilt.

"Harish kuch bolo na apne hisab Chuka diya tha na!? Haina!?" Rinki shouted in shock.

(Harish say something, you have paid all the loans!? Right!?)

"Ankita tum jao yaha se." Rinki coldly.

(Ankita leave from here.)

Ankita seized the opportunity and ran towards her only place. Store room. Even if it was suffocating and dark, Ankita still find peace in it. The room was just having old, broken and dirty furniture of no use. Ankita ran and started crying while hugging her knees. Her past life replaying in front of her eyes. She closed her ears and eyes to stop shouting of people for help. She was feeling helpless. Her trauma badly triggering.

Her Anjali aunty, who only cared for her in this cruel world, came and hugged her. Her eyes streaming water in guilt of not saving her. She counseled her. Slowly her uneven breath turned into normal shaky breaths, her small figure stoped trembling.

"Namaste Mr and Mrs Gupta. And why were you ignoring me for so long? For 1 and half years? Strange." Suddenly a voice came.

Ankita who was crying in her store room stand up after hearing the voice. Anjali aunty turned her head towards the closed door of store room in confusion.

"Who would will come at this time?" Anjali thought confusingly.

"Lagta h kaka se mehman aagye h mein Pani lekr jati hu." She said to Anjali. She wiped her face and ran towards kitchen to serve water.

(I think guests have come, I should go and serve them water.)

"T-thakur s-sahab a-aap yaha k-kese?" Harish stammerd.

(Thakur sahab you here?)

"Bas socha apne paise lene aajau." Raj Thakur said with heavy sarcasm while entering with his son's best friend and his most trusted person Rudra Singh Rathore.

(Nothing, just I thought to take my money back.)

"S-sahab a-aap bhetiye m-mein c-chai nasta lekr a-aati hu." Rinki stammerd.

(Please sit I will bring some water and snacks.)

Before she could leave, Ankita came with water and snacks. Her hair were frizzy and looking rough and her eyes were swollen. Her shawl covering her whole body to hide her marks but her hands were showing her red marks while serving the water.

Raj and Rudra saw her and their eyes softened. She was the beautiful girl they have ever saw. Her heart feeling strange warmth and full of closeness and belonging.

She was having fair skin, Almond shaped greenish eyes, Black wavy hair that reaches to her waist, Her hourglass figure, Her height 5'5 feet. Everything was perfect in her.

"J-ji yeh lijiye." She said softly while offering glass of water. Her voice melodious.

(Please take some.)

"Beta aap kon ho?" Raj asked her softly.

(Child who are you?)

Everyone present their were shocked. Raj Thakur who ruled business world and hasn't been soft with anyone before was talking softly to a girl. A stranger.

"J-ji Thakur Sahab, y-yeh mere b-bade Bhai ki b-beti hai. Unki maut 3 saal phele ho gyi thi" Harish said.

(She is daughter of my big brother, thakur sahab. He died in accident 3 years ago.)

"Toh tum ise marte ho?" Raj said coldly.

(You beat her?)

"N-nahi t-thakur s-sahab. Y-yeh toh meri b-beti jesi hai." Rinki said.

(No thakur sahab. She is just like my daughter.)

"Acha tabhi iske haathon pr ese nishan hai aur iski halat esi." Rudra said coldly. Rinki and Harish got gasped shocked.

(That's why there are marks on her body.)

"Tumhe kya laga hamne dekha nhi. Hamne sab dhek liya tha." Harish said.

(You thought we wouldn't see. We saw everything.)

"M-maaf k-krna t-thakur s-sahab." Harish begged.

(I am sorry thakur sahab.)

"Ham tumhe maaf kr denge pr ek shart pr. Hame tumhari bhanji ka hath chiye mere bete ke liye. Tum use hame 15 din baad doge. Fir uske baad tumhara aur uska rishta khtm. Ham tumhari shakal bhi nhi dekhenge. Aur 15 dino tak tum use hath bhi nhi lagaoge. Aur agr mereko kuch bhi esa vesa pata laga toh fir dekhna. Manzoor h?" Raj said coldly.

(I will forgive you but I need something. I want your niece for my son. I will come and take her with me after 15 days. After that you and her will break all the relations and ties. And don't even dare to touch her for following 15 days. And if I got to know about something I shouldn't, then see. Do you Understand?)

"J-ji?" Rinki said in shock and confusion.

(Yes?)

"Manzoor h!?" He asked again making them flinched.

(Do You Understand!?)

"J-ji t-thakur s-sahab a-aap jesa kahe." They agreed in fear.

(As you wish thakur sahab.)

"Beti, tum shadi krogi mere bete se?" He asked her.

(Will you marry my son?)

She looked towards her kaka kaki. They were nodding and were giving her hints for saying yes. So she said it.

"J-ji Uncle. M-mein s-sab.... krungi j-jo aap ....k-henge." she agreed.

(As per your choice.... I will do everything... You will say.)

"Bhaut ache beta. Mein 15 din baad aaunga. Thik h?" He asked.

(Good. I will come after 15 days.)

"J-ji." She replied nervously.

(Okay.)

"Hmm." Then they left after giving her one last glance and death stare to her kaka kaki.

Her kaki turned towards her.

"Tune yeh apna ky hal bana rakha h hain! Tu apne Store room me jaa aur dawa laga nhi toh voh hame mar denge. Jaa nikal!!" Her kaki shouted.

(Look at the state you've put yourself in! Go to the storeroom and apply medicine, otherwise they will kill us. Goo!)

She flinched but she nodded and ran towards store room and applied the medicine.

Later in Thakur house.....

"Yeh ky keh rhe h aap!!! Hamse bina puche apne hamare bete ka rishta pakka kr diya!?" Vasundhara Thakur shouted.

(What are you saying?! Without even asking us, you went ahead and fixed our son's marriage?!)

"Vasundhara tum ek baar us ladki ko dekhna kitni pyari h. Aur hamare bete ka 30th birthday aarha h. Amma bhi toh yahi chahti thi ki Aditya shadi kr le. Fir isme ky harz h?" Raj explained her.

(Vasundhara, just look at that girl once, she is so lovely. And our son's 30th birthday is coming up. Amma also wanted Aditya to get married. So what harm is there in it?)

"Hame aap pr pura bharosa h Raj ki apne hamare bete ke liye ek achi Sundar aur Sushil ladki chuni hogi. Pr apne ek baar ke liye hamse puchne ka nahi socha. Aur hame chodiye ab toh kuch nhi ho skta pr... Pr apne Aditya ka socha h.... Usne toh mana kr diya tha na... Use kese manayenge aap haa?" Vasundhara said.

(We have complete trust in you, Raj, that you would have chosen a good, beautiful, and well-mannered girl for our son. But you did not think of asking us even once. Leave us aside, now nothing can be done, but did you think about Aditya? He had refused, hadn't he? How will you convince him now?)

Everyone agreed with her.

She was right.

Aditya Thakur listen to himself only.

Everyone was scared of him.

Suddenly a voice came which was so none other than of Aditya.

"Kis bare mein Dad merko manayenge maa? Ky chal raha h?" He asked while coming downstairs.

(Dad will convince me about what Mom? What is going on?)

Everyone looked scared but Raj expression was same. Cold.

"Aditya voh.." before Vasundhara could complete Raj interrupted.

(Aditya actually..)

"Aditya I want to talk about something with you. Meet me in garden." He said coldly and left.

Aditya followed his command.

Because he knew his father says one thing at a time.

He hates to repeat.

So he also left behind him.

"Bataiye dad, apko ky baat karni h." Aditya said coldly.

(Tell me, Dad, what do you want to talk about?)

"Hame tumhari shadi ki baat karni h. Tumne amma ki rasid toh padhi thi na?" He said.

(We want to talk about your marriage. You must have read Amma's letter, right?)

"Ji dad. Usme likha tha ki agr merko Thakur company ka CEO bana h toh 30 se phele phele shadi karni hogi. Pr mera esa kuch irada nhi h. Mere liye shadi kuch maine nhi rakhti hai. Agr apko merko CEO nahi banana hai toh koi na. Ek na ek din toh mein Thakur banunga. Tab CEO ban jaunga." He replied coldly.

(Yes, Dad. It was written in it that if I want to become the CEO of the Thakur company, I will have to get married before turning thirty. But I have no such intention. Marriage means nothing to me. If you do not want to make me the CEO, that is fine. One day I will become a head in family anyway. Then I will become the CEO.)

"Tum amma se kiya vada bhul gye? Aakhri saans me bhi jinhone tumhare bare me socha unka ky?" he said while making eye contact with his soul.

(Did you forget the promise you made to Amma? Even in her last breath, she was thinking about you. What about her?)

Aditya got angry.

Raj knew how to manipulate Aditya.

"Thik h. Pr mein koi rasam vasam nhi krunga. Sirf shadi hogi aur kuch nhi." Aditya agreed.

(Alright. But I will not do any rituals. There will only be the marriage and nothing else.)

"Pr duniya ko toh pata chalega na. Shadi rasmo ke bina nahi hoti hai Aditya Thakur." He said coldly.

(But the world will have to know, right? A marriage does not happen without rituals, Aditya Thakur.)

Aditya knew it that when his father called him by his full name, It means it's end of discussion and he won. So he back off.

"Okay fine. Atleast tell me What's her name and give me her bio data."

"You will get it by tomorrow. Don't worry." Raj replied then he left.

Aditya was angry so he go to his gym to remove his anger. He was punching the boxing bag but suddenly his best friend called him.

"Adi itna gussa shet ke liye thik nahi h." He said while coming towards him and handle him protein shake.

(Adi, so much anger is not good for your health.)

"Rudra mere dimag me ek plan aaya h." He said while drinking the shake.

(Rudra, a plan has come to my mind.)

"Ky h voh?" Rudra asked.

(What is it?)

"Me jab CEO ban jaunga aur 1 2 saal me puri company control kr lunga toh me use chod dunga. Dad bhi kuch nhi bol payenge." He smirked.

(Once I become the CEO and take complete control of the company in one or two years, I will leave her. Dad will not be able to say anything then.)

"Tu use attached nhi hoga?" Rudra raised an eyebrow.

(You won't be attached to her?)

"Nahi bilkul bhi nhi." He declined.

(No, not at all.)

But rudra smirked.

He knew what would happen at end.

And then....
