The Mafia's BrideWords: 15344

At pallavi's house....

When avni saw pallavi,she wasted no time telling her about everything that has happened.

Both of them were sitting in her living room and Kitty was also playing along there,

Pallavi replied shockingly "This is unbelievable! Teri life to Puri ek tv serial jesi hai (This is unbelievable! Your life is like a soap opera)"

Avni replied tensely"sb kch itni jaldi change ho gya. Mujhe bilkul bhi accha nhi lg rha hai, aisa lg rha hai me apne aasuo ko behne se rok he nhi pa rhi hu, khud pe se control he khtm ho gya hai jese (Everything has changed in a blink of an eye. I can't help but feel sad )" and tears gathered in her eyes again.

Pallavi hugged her immediately "bs avni chup ho ja, mujhe bhi accha nhi lg rha hai ki tujhe ye sb experience Krna pd rha hai. Mujhe pta hai tere liye ye sb easy nhi hai....(I'm sorry that you have to experience this, avni.I know this isn't easy for you...)"

Pallavi broke the hug and wiped avni's tears, and replied "I think ki is sb me sirf ek he acchi chiz hui hai, ki tujhe pta chl gya ki tere real papa kon hai (I think the only good thing about all this is that now you know your real father )"

Avni replied taking her phone in hand "me kbse unke calls cut kre ja rhi hu (I have been dodging all his calls)" and just then her phone rang again.

Pallavi asked "fir se unka he call hai kya?(Is that him again?)"

Avni replied surprisingly by looking at her phone "nhi, lateeka aunty ka hai, bhavik ki step mother (It's lateeka vaidya, bhavik's step mother)"

Pallavi replied with the same surprise"ab inhe kya chaiye?(What does she want?)"

And avni picked up the call,

****

Lateeka- avni, ek bad news hai!

(Avni, I've got some bad news)

Avni- kya hua? Sb thik to hai na?

(Is everything alright?)

Lateeka- aaj election ka din hai, pr bhavik ko participate krne se rok diya hai

(It's the day of the elections but bhavik is barred from participating)

Avni- kya?? Pr kyu?

(What? Why?)

Lateeka- vo log use accuse kr rhe hai ki vo non-committal hai or keh rhe hai ki vo ye position deserve nhi krta (They are accusing him non-committal and that he doesn't deserve to have the position )

Avni thought angrily"This is bad! Bhavik prepared all his life for this position. I can't let the council ruin it for him!"

Lateeka- hame kch to Krna pdega avni vrna vaibhav apne evil plans se mafia world ko barbad kr dega

(We need to do something, avni, or vaibhav will ruin the mafia world with his evil plans)

Avni- thike me aati hu, mrs.Vaidya!

(I'm on my way, mrs. Vaidya! )

And avni cut the call

****

Avni replied immediately "mujhe bhavik ki help krni pdegi. Mujhe pta hai council ko kese agree Krna hai (I have to help bhavik. I know how to get the council on board)"

Pallavi replied smiling"I like your fighting spirit but tu aise he bhar nhi ja skti, atleast change to krle jbse aayi hai italy se inhi clothes me ghum rhi hai (I like your fighting spirit but you can't go out looking like this!)" and both of them went to pallavi's, wardrobe.

Avni hurriedly changed her outfit

Avni replied in a low voice "mujhe thda nervous feel ho rha hai (I'm feeling a little nervous)"

Pallavi took kitty in her hand and replied"Go help your man,bestie!kitty or me tere liye pray krenge (Go help your man, bestie. Kitty and I'll pray for you)"

Avni replied with a smile "thank you, pallavi!"and went from there

________

Avni went to the address lateeka sent her, where the meeting was going on.

It was a dark ballroom, and bodyguards in dark black suits stand like silent shadows, their eyes constantly scaning the room, as they pace from one side to another.

Avni thought worriedly "This is the address lateeka ji had sent me, why is this place so scary?"

As Avni went inside, she saw in front, the council was set up on the stage , and bhavik and vaibhav were also standing there trying to prove themselves right and more deserving for the position, and rest of the members of the mafia world were sitting on the chairs down the stage, and their voices were echoing in the whole ballroom.

Vaibhav replied "mere alava or koi better option hai he nhi. Mujhe he next mafia king hona chaiye. Me mafia world ko itni success tk le jaunga jha tk ka Daksheesh vaidya sirf sapna dekh skte hai (There's no better option than me. I should be the next mafia king. I will take the mafia world to heights that Daksheesh vaidya could only dream of)"

Bhavik replied irritatedly"kya tu bhul rha hai ki ye jgh hamesha se meri he hai, salo se?(Have you forgotten that the throne was always meant to be mine for years?)"

Vaibhav insulted"accha? Itni behuda bate mt kr, bhavik. Tera era khtm ho chuka hai. Ab to council bhi tujhe nhi chahti. Or vese bhi council kisi ke liye bhi apne rules change nhi krti. Jb council ko leader thik nhi lgta hai to throne dusre contender ko milta hai, or vo me hu (Oh, don't be such a sore loser, bhavik. Your era is over. The council doesn't want you anymore. And the council bends its rules for no one.When the leader is deemed unfit, the throne goes to the next contender, and that's me)"

Avni thought surprisingly"He must be crazy!"

Mr. Chandrakant informed angrily"Mr.vaidya, ye position aapke dad ko tb mili thi jb vedraj ne resign kr diya tha. Or ab to aapki shadi bhi tute gyi hai or aapke pas koi alliance bhi nhi hai, jo aapko is position ke liye unfit bnata hai (Mr. Vaidya, the position passed to your father when vedraj willingly stepped down.Now, you have a broken marriage and no alliance, which makes you unfit for the position )"

Vaibhav again interrupted"sun liya vaidya? Ab apna saman pack kr or apne club me ja, vohi kaam hai tera (You heard that vaidya? Now pack up and go back to your club, that's the only business you've got)"

Avni shouted angrily "The throne will never be yours!"

The crowd turns to avni as her voice echoes throughout the room.Avni boldly walk towards bhavik who is watching her with a pair of dark eyes.

Vaibhav roled his eyes irritatedly "Now, now... Looks like we have a party crasher"

Bhavik asked shockingly"avni? Tum yha kya kr rhi ho?(Avni?what are you doing here?)"

Vaibhav laughed"wow..how cute! Lgta hai tera khilona yha tujhe bachane ke liye aaya hai, bhavik (How touching. Looks like your plaything is here to rescue you, bhavik )"

Mr. Smith scolded"tum kon ho? Tumhe pta nhi hai ki ye ek important meeting hai?(Who are you? Don't you know that this is an important meeting?)"

Avni replied with a sarcastic smile"mujhe pta hai, or me isliye he yha Aayi hu (I am aware and that's exactly why I'm here)" and walk to bhavik's side and hold his hand. His face softens and they interwines their fingers together.

Mr. Smith replied "tumhe election me interfere krne ka koi right nhi hai, ladki. Ye ek bohot important night hai jo mafia world ka future decide kregi aane vali sadiyo me (You don't have the right to meddle with the elections, young lady.This is an important night that will shape the history of the mafia world for the decades to come)"

Avni replied with a gentle smile"bhavik mafia king bnna deserve krta hai, or ye bat mujhse acche se koi nhi janta (Bhavik deserves to be the mafia king, and I know it better than anyone )"

Vaibhav replied angrily"don't make us laugh, avni. Pichle kch dino se bhavik ne apni imandari kho di hai. Apni pagalpanti se usne apni puri image barbaad kr di hai (Don't make us laugh, avni. Bhavik has lost his integrity for the past few days. His wild actions have completely ruined his image)"

Mr. Smith replied"He's right. Hame aise leader ki koi zarurat nhi hai jo apni zimmedaria bhi nhi nibha skta (He's right. We have no use for a leader who can't attend to his responsibilities)"

Avni interrupted irritatedly"bhavik aisa nhi hai! Me use aapse better janti hu (Bhavik is not like that! I know him better than you do)"

Mr. Smith asked angrily"huh. To kya tum keh rhi ho ki ye responsibilities se bhagne vala, commitment se darne vala, party freak nhi hai? (Heh. Do you mean he's not the commitment-phobic, party freak who runs away from responsibility?)"

Avni immediately replied"ye sb juth hai. Bhavik ne apni gang ke liye bohot hard work kiya hai (These are lies, bhavik has worked hard for his gang)"

Mr. Smith asked "tumhare pas kya proof hai ki ye aisa nhi hai?(What proof do you have that he's not like that?)"

The vaidyas also look in pain while being surrounded by the council who are completely against their family, into absolute humiliation.

Avni thought taking a deep breath "This place is filled with the people who want to bring bhavik down. I'm the only one who can defend him right now. Our whole future depends on this!"

Avni replied with a sarcastic smile"me aap sbhi ki respect krti hu. Is council ki vjh se he mafia world vaibhav jese logo se safe hai (I respect all of you. Because of this council, tha mafia world has stayed safe from people like vaibhav)"

Vaibhav replied irritatedly"ise defend Krna bnd kro. Bhavik ek unfit candidate hai or ab tk mafia world me sbko ye man lena chaiye (Stop defending him. Bhavik is an unfit candidate and everyone in mafia world should know it by now)"

He added further "vo apni fiance se engaged hone ke bade bhi tumhare sath affair chla rha tha. Or end me, vo apni fiance se shadi krne ki responsibility bhi puri nhi kr ska (He was having an affair with you while being engaged to his fiance.In the end, he couldn't even fulfill his duty to marry his betrothed!)"

Avni thought"Damn, vaibhav. He's really destroying bhavik's image! But I'm not backing down!"

Mr. Ranvijay interrupted"ek insan jo shadi jesi important responsibility ko nhi nibha skta, vo leader bnke apni responsibility kya he nibhayega?(A man who can't honor an important commitment such as marriage cannot possibly fulfill the responsibility of a leader)"

Avni immediately replied"aapne situation ko glt smjh liya hai! Inki shadi dono families ke agreement se cancel Hui hai. Or mujhe to smjh nhi aa rha hai ki aap inhe shadi ke basis pe kyu judge kr rhe hai aisi shadi ke basis pe jo ye shuru se he nhi chahte the  (You've misunderstood the situation! Their wedding was cancelled by the agreement of both families.Besides, i don't understand  why you're judging him based on a marriage that he never wanted to begin with )"

Ranvijay asked"tum kis bare me bat kr rhi ho? Ham kch smjhe nhi? (What are you talking about?)"

Avni explained"Mera mtlb hai ki bhavik un chizo me apna dil or jaan lga deta hai jise vo dil se chahta hai, jis se vo pyar krta hai. Next mafia king bnna uska ab tk ka sbse bada sapna hai, inhone iske liye bohot mehnat ki hai (I'm saying that bhavik puts  his heart and soul into the things that he loves. Being the next mafia king is everything he has worked for)"

She added further in a low voice feeling bad for him "me janti hu ki inhone iske liye kitni mehnat ki hai, mene dekha hai inhone apni izat ke liye kitne sacrifices kiye hai (I know how hard he has worked for it, I've seen the sacrifices he has made for his Honor)"

She continued as tears gathered in her eyes"ye apni family ki wish puri krne ke liye us unwanted marrige ke liye bhi ready ho gy (He was willing to go through the unwanted marrige just to honor his family's wishes )"

Avni wiped her tears and replied with a gentle smile"aap log kehte ho na ki mafia world me pyar ke liye koi jgh nhi hoti, pr mujhe lgta hai ki ab ise change krne ki zarurat hai (They say there's no place for love in mafia world, but I believe that should change now)"

Mr. Ranvijay asked"to tum ye kehna chahti ho ki ye sb iske bare me sirf afwaiye hai? (You mean these were mere  rumours about him?)"

Avni replied"hn, ye sb sirf vaibhav ki chaal hai bhavik ki image khrab krne ke liye (Yes. It's nothing but a propaganda. Vaibhav used it against bhavik to ruin his image)" and she raised her brow and stared at vaibhav angrily, and vaibhav quickly averts his eyes, hiding his guilty expressions.

Avni taunted angrily "me to expect kr rhi thi ki mafia world ki council sirf stupid rumours pr believe krne ki jgh deep investigation kregi (I was expecting that the council of mafia world would make a thorough investigation rather than just stick to what the stupid rumours say )"

Mr. Ranvijay replied with a gentle smile"Fair enough. I appreciate ki tumne council ke samne khade hoke apne case ko defend krne ki himmat dikhayi (Fair enough. I commend you for being bold enough to stand in the presence of the council and defend your case)" and the council think and discuss among themselves before finally turning their attention back to bhavik and his family.

Mr. Ranvijay ordered "council ne discuss krke decide Kiya hai ki hamare next decision pr thda sochne ke liye hame thda time chaiye. Or is bich, agr bhavik vaidya ab bhi ye position chahta hai, to unhe apni worth prove krni hogi (The council has unanimously agreed to take some time to think about our next steps.In the meanwhile, bhavik vaidya shall prove his worth if he still wants to run for the position )"

Vaibhav replied shockingly"kya?? Aap aisa nhi kr skte (what? You can't do that)"

Mr. Ranvijay ordered in a rude tone"or Mr. Saxena, ham aapke actions ko investigate krenge. Or agr hame kch bhi illegal mila, to aapko mafia world se bhar kr diya jayega (And Mr. Saxena, we'll look into your actions. If we find anything illegal, you'll be thrown out of mafia world )"

Mr. Smith replied"sbse badi oath jo ham lete hai, vo hai apni family ke liye stand lena, or pura mafia world hamare liye ek family hai (The biggest oath we take is to stand up for family, and the entire mafia world is a family)"

The vaidyas have a relieved breath, and bhavik quickly pulls her in his arms and hug her tightly, and in his embrace, he kissed her forehead. Bhavik replied looking intensely in her eyes "I've missed you so much, avni"

And avni started blushing, and as she realised that everyone is still watching them and they are on the stage, avni immediately broke the hug and replied shyly in a low voice "bhavik chodo, council members abhi bhi yehi hai, or sb hame he dekh rhe hai (bhavik Leave, the council members are still here, and everyone is looking at us)"

Bhavik immediately replied"mujhe nhi pdta elections se frk. Mujhe sirf tumse frk pdta hai, aaj kl mere mind me sirf tum he rehti ho or kch nhi (I don't give a damn about elections. You're the only one that's been keeping my mind busy these days )"

He added further in a serious tone"tum mere liye is duniya ki kisi bhi position se zyada important ho, avni (You're more important to me than any position in this world, avni)"

Vaibhav replied angrily"dekho! Bhavik vaidya kitni batmizi kr rha hai, itna disrespectfully behave kr rha hai, kya aap ab bhi use leader banaoge, yha tk ki vo mafia world ka sbse bada rule bhi tode rha hai, ab bhi? (Look! How disrespectful bhavik vaidya is being! Are you gonna make him the leader even when he breaks the biggest rule of mafia world?)"

He added further irritatedly"He's flirting with this outsider!"

Just then vedraj's loud and dominating voice echoes in the ballroom "meri beti koi outsider nhi hai!! (My daughter is not an outsider!!!)"

•••

What do you think will happen next?

Will bhavik will be able to be the next mafia king and marry avni? Or will vaibhav dare to step in his way?

And what will vedraj do now?? When all this is happening with his daughter and her love?
