chapter Two
He raise the heavy rod for the Twenty times, his body is already covered in sweat.... His veins and muscle visible as he raise the heavy rod which three grown men will find difficult in raising but it wasn't hard for him at all
His long hair fall over his face as they were also covered in his sweat, he raise the rod up high and all his muscles became more visible
Just then one of his guard walk in, he bows in respect to him
"Sorry for disturbing you master, Mr Kumar chatruvadi is here to see you" the guard announce. He slowly brought down the rod to the floor
He stretch fort his hand and a maid who has been standing few miles away from him pass a towel to him
He collects the towel and use it to wipe the sweat on his face as his handsome face was shown clearly
"Let him in, maybe he has finally decided to pay me my money. I wonder why I've given him so much time to pay back the money... that's unlike me" Abhishek orders with a faint smirk. The guard bow and walks out
A minute later Mr Kumar chatruvadi walks in with a small suit case. Abhishek notice his presence in the room and ask the maid to leave
"I hope you did not come empty handed because I've given you enough time already and I am running out of patience" Abhishek said still backing Mr Kumar
"At least ask me to seat down first, am with your money" Mr Kumar cuts in, Abhishek smirk and turn to face him
"You are just so brave to ask me that and I love such Spirit. Well you can have a seat while we go straight to business" he add showing him a seat
"Here is the money, is half a million but I will pay the rest later" Mr Kumar speaks up after settling down, handing the suit case over to Abhishek
"Half a million? That's two far from the money you owe me, you still have like 1.5 million to pay" Abhishek said as he make a sign to one of the guard around to collects the suit case and he did without hestitating
"I know, but our agreed date has not expired, I still have like one month to pay up"
"Do you know that you are the only person in history that has owe me for that long and still lives, I don't work on the agreed date that's why anybody that borrows money from me tends to pay before the date we agreed on
You are just so lucky, I don't know why I've not order my men to kill you yet" Abhishek voice out
"Please give me sometime, I will definitely pay up... Just be patience with me" Mr Kumar begs and Abhishek smirk
"I heard you have two grown beautiful daughters.... What if we do bargaining, you will give me your eldest daughter's hand in marriage while I forget about the money you owe me" Abhishek grin, Mr Kumar quickly stare up at him as he tries to control his anger
How dare he ask that of him, that means selling off his daughter to him. He knows that he has not been in a good relationship with his first daughter but he just can't sell her off like that
"Please Abhishek, I don't mean to disrespect you but I can't sell off my daughter. I promise to pay up before one month, I beg for your time and patience" he mutter out as he calms his anger. This is his first time borrowing money from Abhishek and he regrets doing so. He was so much in need of money that time and Abhishek was the only option, so he had no choice
"No one has ever turn down my deal, you got so much nerves Mr Kumar. Well I know you won't be able to pay up the money in a month. The offer still remains till one month, but after one month... If you haven't pay up the money, I will have to marry your daughter with force and you will still pay up the money... So you better make a wise decision now" Abhishek sounded a little icilly
Mr Kumar is burning in so much anger but there is nothing he can do, Abhishek is so powerful and dangerous and no man can stand to challenge him
He is a very rich business tycoon and own his empire where he rules. He is a man that never goes down on his word and he kills easily without mercy
None of his enemy has ever defeated him, even the government fears and respect him
He gives out a command once and it is obeyed, he is a fearless man feared by many but Mr Kumar being courageous himself wouldn't cease speaking out his mind to Abhishek weather it will lead to his death but he is someone that do not fear death
"You can leave now" he add. Mr Kumar stands up and place his hands together, he stare at him before walking out
Just some minutes he left, his men drags a man in as the man was cover in blood due to beatings
"We have finally caught him my Lord" one of his men said and he smile evilly
He majestically turn to face them, the man is shivering in fear... He is only praying to his creator to save him cos he knows Abhishek won't spare his life
Abhishek stretch fort his hand and one of his men drop a stick of cigarette in his palm. He was staring at the shivering man who is held both side by his men. He put the cigarette into his mouth and one of his men help him to light it up
He smoke in and gently remove it from his mouth as he puff out huge smoke
"So you are the idiot that ran away with my money... What do you think? That I will not catch you?. I don't even know what gave you the nerves to steal from me or maybe you don't know what I can do to people like you" his deep husky voice speaks up after some seconds
"P...ple... Please forgive me my Lord, I don't know what came over me. I promise not to do it again" the man pleads but Abhishek slap him which gave him a cut on the lip
"I hate it when someone asks for my forgiveness after committing a crime intentionally. You are begging me now because you have been caught, you made a huge mistake by allowing greed to take over you
You should have thought of the consequences before planning what you did. I do not forgive traitors and you should have known that by now" Abhishek grime, his voice sounds deadly
He stretch fort his hand and a gun was drop on his palm. The man shiver the more as he stare at the gun
"The punishment of your action is death and can not be other wise..... No need of explaining to you, I believe you know more than I do. No one messes with Abhishek Singh and still breath freely" he mumble with a dirty smirk starring at the gun, then he points it at the man
"Please forgive ...." He was cut short as the bullet from the gun hit his heart. He gasp and cough out blood "me" he mumble the final word in pains as he falls down and give up a ghost
"Get this trash out of my sight" Abhishek orders and walk away
"Yes my Lord" they chorus and carry the man's corps out

"Prachi! Prachi! Prachi!" Rachna calls out running inside prachi's room, prachi was startled as she gets furious
"What the heck is it Rachna, why are you shouting my name so loud like that and when did you even get here" prachi snap but Rachna ignores her and close the door and then face her, she is curious to know why Rachna rush inside her room in such a hurry
"Guess what I saw a while ago" Rachna tries catching her breath
"Just get to the point Rachna, you know am not good at guessing" prachi cuts her off
"You won't believe what I saw prachi... She pause and draw more closer to prachi. "I think Lakshmi has a boyfriend" she whispers and prachi raise her brows
"You gossip a lot Rachna, how did you know that prachi has a boyfriend... How did you find out?" Prachi doubted
"Do you think am lying prachi, I saw it with my eyes. I saw Lakshmi riding on a bike with a young guy, I can recognize his face. Believe me am not lying" Rachna tries explaining better
"Are you sure of what you saying Rachna?"
"Of course am sure, why will a guy ride a young girl on his bike if not she is his girlfriend. If you think am lying then you have to find it out yourself, then you will definitely believe me"
"If you are sure of what you said then it is such a good news Rachna, mother will be so please to hear it. I believe it will lighten up her mood" prachi cuts in and ran off towards her mother's room
"Wait prachi, where are rushing to..... I thought she didn't believe me but now she is excited with the news" Rachna mumble and went after her
***
"You need to think of a plan Rivati, one way or the other I must get Lakshmi married off. Imagine I tried talking to Kumar but he won't listen to me, am having a bad feeling that he is kind of having a soft spot for Lakshmi and menka
If Lakshmi finally achieve her dreams, he will be proud of her and love her more than me and my daughter... That is why I need to do something" Rivati solioquize pacing in her room
"Mother I have a good news" prachi scream excitedly immediately she enters the room, Rachna joins afterwards
"What is it prachi, I hope it is something useful but if it is not then you have to leave... I need to think peacefully" Rivati snap
"Just calm down mother, it is a very big news that will lighten up your mood. No need of thinking of a plan to get rid of Lakshimi because it looks like God is on our side"
"What are you trying to say prachi, get straight to the point because I don't have all day"
"Instead of trying to convince father to marry Lakshmi off why don't we force him" prachi blurts out, and Rivati looks more confused and eager to understand what she means
"Rachna told me she saw Lakshmi with a boy and it looks like he is her boyfriend. This is a perfect situation to implicate her with" she add
"Are you sure of what you are saying prachi?" She ask in reference
"Prachi is right aunt, I saw her with the boy today... She is riding on his bike, I definitely believe that he is her boyfriend" Rachna cuts in and a smile escape Rivati lips
"This is definitely a good news prachi, I am here cracking my brain when a perfect plan is in front of me
This will surely be the end of Lakshimi dream. Your father is someone who protects his honour and reputation so much
He will not spare anyone who will try to ruin his reputation and very soon poor Lakshmi will fall a victim. He will be forced to marry her off to reserve his honour" Rivati stretch her words with a dirty grin
"Tell me mother, what are your plans?" Prachi ask and Rivati smile
"Is just a matter of time and I will get what I want.... Listen Rachna, I want you to keep a close eye on Lakshimi and report to me her every move"
" I will definitely do that aunt"
"And if you ever see her with the guy once again, you know what to do" Rivati smirk as Rachna and prachi return the smirk

"Mother! Mother " Lakshmi scream joyfully as she rush inside the house with her results
"Mother! Where are you... I have a very big news" she shouts out with so much excitement
"Why are you making so much noise here, do you think this is a club house or what. You won't even let me rest in peace" Rivati cuts her off irritated, the moment she walk inside the sitting room
"Step mum look, my results are excellent totally excellent" she add still in excitement
"Is that why you want to bring down this building. So disgusting, you better drop that result and face the house chores... There is a lot to do" Rivati bark and walk out but she stop half a mile and turn back to look at Lakshimi who is rejoicing with her mother who joins her a while ago
"Poor thing... You are rejoicing over your results not knowing what is coming your way very soon. Those results won't be useful to you, I will make sure of that" she mumble with a smirk before walking away
"I'm so excited mum, my dreams has finally come true" Lakshmi beam
"I told you that you will definitely pass. The almighty knew that you worked so hard for your exams and that's why he blessed you with an excellent result" menka cuts in, excitement in her tone
"Thank you mother for your support, if not for you I wouldn't have made it this far" Lakshmi mumble and hug her mother who warmly welcomes the hug
"I'm sure your father will be proud of you" menka add
***
"I can't believe am following Lakshmi around, I don't know why aunt assigned this job to me
Lakshmi should meet the guy already so I will take a rest. I can't wait to see her pay for stressing me out following her like this" Rachna mumble in anger as she follows Lakshmi from a distance
Lakshmi stops at a building that looks like an uncompleted warehouse, she looks around to know if someone sees her but Rachna was fast to hide
Lakshmi breaths in as she suspects no one is around, she smile and walk inside the way house
Rachna came out from her hiding place and also look around
"I'm sure she and the guy wants to meet up in there, such a clever girl, she even look around to know if someone could see her but she forgot that she is not well clever enough
I can't believe she is seeing a man behind her family back, she is claiming to be a decent girl but she is messing around with a guy. Her cup is full today because I will make sure I find an evidence that will implicate her" Rachna voice out and follow Lakshmi inside the warehouse making sure she won't see her
She match a cob web, she wanted to scream because she is afraid of cobwebs but she control herself. Lakshmi stops and Rachna also stop and hide behind the wall
Lakshmi was looking around also checking her wrist watch. Rachna sight Abhijit coming towards Lakshmi who let out a smile
Rachna smirk and brings out a camera to video them. Lakshmi rush to Abhijit and hug him in happiness, she wants to share the news of her excellent result with him. Abhijit welcomes the hug as they both stayed like that for some while before disengaging
"You both should enjoy while it last" Rachna mumble with an evil smile
"Tell me, how fantabulous was your results... I know that's the important news you are talking about" Abhijit said with smiles as they broke the hug, Lakshmi face is beaming in smiles
"I'm so happy Abhijit, my dreams are finally coming true and most of all ... am happy that my father has no issue with me going to college" Lakshmi chip in still beaming in smiles but kind of teary
Abhijit cup her face as he stare into her eyes
"Congratulations my love, I am more than happy for you Lakshimi, I am always fulfilled whenever I see you happy like this. I pray that nothing will take away your happiness
I also pray that when we decide to tell your family about our relationship that they won't have any problem with it" Abhijit whispers
"I pray so Abhijit, I don't know if I will ever be able to live without you. Once I enroll into college, I will tell mum about us and then we will find a way to tell Dad and the rest of the family
Promise me Abhijit that no matter what, you won't stop loving me and you will always be by my side and support me in every step of my life" Lakshmi mumble feeling a bit emotional
"I will love you till my last breath Lakshmi and I will never leave you, that I promise. I will always be by your side and nothing can separate me from you. I love you so much Lakshmi more than you expected"
"I love you too" Lakshmi whimpers and Abhijit kiss her forehead and pull her into a hug
"Wow! This is a best scene. Kudos to you Rachna, you managed to get the work done in no time. Aunt Rivati will be proud of me once I show her this video" Rachna mind said with a smirk before tip toeing out of the warehouse
***
Rivati smile widely as she watch the video, this is exactly what she needs to shatter Lakshmi dream
"You did a great job Rachna and I am going to reward you for that" she said still smiling
"You should always count on me aunt, I always love doing clean job. I caught them red handed, I can't believe they both meet in such secret place... That Lakshmi has no shame at all" Rachna cuts in
"She is just like her mother, they are both shameless" Rivati cuts in
"What now mother, how are we going to get Dad to watch this video?" Prachi ask
"Calm down prachi, don't worry because I have a better plan. We won't show him the video, someone else will be the one to show him the video
I can't wait to watch the interesting drama that will take place in this house very soon.... It will be so much fun" Rivati voice out with a grin
"Just tell us your plan mother, we are curious to know... Or do you want to do everything by yourself"
"Just stop talking rubbish and come closer" Rivati cuts in and prachi and Rachna draw closer as she whisper something into their ear which they all smile evilly afterwards
"You are just so brilliant mother" prachi chip in as they all smirk and glance at each other
