Just then vedraj's loud and dominating voice echoes in the ballroom "meri beti koi outsider nhi hai!! (My daughter is not an outsider!!!)"
Avni thought "...dad?!"
Vaibhav, startled by vedraj's sudden appearance, and took a step back.
Mr. Ranvijay exclaimed in shock "vedraj Agarwal?"
The council members were stunned by the sight of him, his influence clearly speaking on his behalf.
Vaibhav was equally surprised, he stammered"Vedraj agarwal? The myth, the legend?"
He added further "me to sochta tha aap bs ek bani bnayi khani ho, pr aap to sch me exist krte ho(I used to think you were a made up name, but you actually exist)"
Mr. Ranvijay scolded"vaibhav, tum mafia world ke developer se bat kr rhe ho, thodi tamiz se bat kro (Vaibhav, you're talking to the pioneer of mafia world, have some respect)"
Vaibhav replied rudely"aap honge devloper apne time me, pr me mafia world ka future hu, isliye agr aap mere sath alliance krna chahte ho, to better hoga abhi he kr lo (You may be the pioneer in your days, but I'm the future of mafia world, so if you want to establish an alliance with me, you better do it now )"
Avni thought shockingly"he has lost it!"
Vedraj replied with a sarcastic smile"Mr. Saxena, me tumhare dad ko us time se janta hu jb unke pas kch bhi nhi tha, or mujhe acchi tarah pta hai unhone apni aaj ki wealth kamane ke liye kya kiya tha. (Mr. Saxena, I've known your father from days when he had nothing, And I know exactly what he did to build the wealth he has today.)"
Listening to this, Vaibhav coughed awkwardly.
Vedraj turned to the council members, offering a gentle smile, despite his dominant tone "council members, I apologise for my absence from this space, I deeply regret it"
He declared further"but bhavik vaidya he is throne ka rightful owner hai, or me yha use support krne he aaya hu (But bhavik vaidya is the rightful heir to the throne, and I'm here to show my support to him)"
Listening to this, avni got so happy and a smile blossomed on her face, while bhavik got surprised by his sudden declaration. On the other hand, the vaidyas were also delighted after listening this, and vaibhav got shocked.
Mr. Ranvijay replied with a gentle smile"ham kon hote hai aapki bat na manne vale, Mr. Agarwal (We're no one to overthrow your word, Mr. Agarwal)"
Vedraj replied getting a bit upset"salo pehle, mene is position ke liye apna pyar kho diya tha.....(Years ago, I lost the love of my life to honor this position....)"
And then he hid the sadness and replied with a fake smile acting to be happy"or aaj, salo bade, bhavik apne pyar ke liye apni position, apni wealth, sacrifice krne ke liye ready tha (And today, years later, bhavik was ready to sacrifice his fortune for the love of his life)"
He continued"ek aadmi jo apni Kasam ki kadr krta hai, us se bada is duniya me koi nhi hota (There's nothing greater than a man who values his promise )"
Vedraj ordered with a smirk "isliye bhavik vaidya aaj se mafia world ka nya leader hai (That's why, bhavik vaidya is the new leader of mafia world from this day on )"
Vaibhav pissed off listening to this.
Vedraj replied looking at him "or vaibhav saxena, council ke pas ab tumhare or rama Bhanushali ke sath kiye hue scandals ke proof hai, ham sb jante hai ki tum dono kya krne ki koshish kr rhe the (And vaibhav saxena, the council now has evidence of your schemes with rama Bhanushali, we all know what the two of you were trying to do)"
He added further angrily"hame sb kch pta hai ki tum salo se vaidyas ko dhoka de rhe the, or rama Bhanushali ne tumhe promise Kiya tha ki vo tumhari madad kregi ek bar ye shadi ho jaye fir (We know everything about how you have been stealing from the vaidya's for years, and rama Bhanushali promised to help you get more once they were connected )"
Avni thought surprisingly"All this whole, Rama's whispered phone calls were to vaibhav? She have declined to the lowest level ever experienced"
Mr. Ranvijay ordered angrily"aaj se, council saxena family ko mafia world se restrict kr rhi hai (From this day forward, the council bars the saxena family from mafia world)"
Vaibhav screamed angrily, listening to this.
Mr. Smith informed "or bhavik vaidya aaj se hamare nye leader honge (And bhavik vaidya will be our new leader)"
As soon as the words are said, bhavik hugs avni tightly. Her heart feels happy to see him get his rightful deserved place.
Just then Daksheesh came to them, and avni broke the hug.
Daksheesh replied awkwardly "avni....hame plz maaf krdo (Hey avni... We're sorry about everything)"
He added further happily"tumne prove kr diya hai ki tum mere bete ke liye perfect match ho (You've proven to be the perfect match for my son)"
Avni didn't replied anything, and just passed a formal smile, Daksheesh understood that avni didn't forgot what he had said about her.
Daksheesh continued"bhavik mere sath aao, papa ko tumse kch bat krni hai (Bhavik come with me, Dad wants to talk to you)" and went from there.
Bhavik replied"I'll be back soon" and followed his father.
Just then avni's attention shifted to vedraj, who was speaking with the council members, she thought "There's still one thing I need to take care of"
She pulled out her phone and dialed a number.
"Mumma," she said when the call was answered, she added further "mujhe aapse kch bat krni hai, me abhi ghr nhi aaungi, me aapse 1 ghante me ghr ke pas vale park me milungi, it's urgent (Mumma, I want to talk to you about something, I will not come home right now, please meet me in the park near the house in 1 hour, it's urgent)"
__________
In the garden,
Radhika was sitting on a bench, waiting for avni.
A few minutes later, Avni arrived and waved. Radhika immediately stood up, her face lighting up.
Radhika exclaimed happily "avni, mera baccha! (Avni, my daughter!)". Lowering her voice, she asked "jb tune phone Kiya, to mujhe bohot accha lga. Kya tune mujhe finally maf kr diya?(I was so happy when you called, did you finally forgive me?)"
Avni smiled warmly "hn, maa. Or yha koi aaya hai jis se aapko milna chaiye (Yes mom, and here's someone you should meet)"
Avni gestured, and Vedraj walked over. Upon seeing Radhika, his eyes widened in disbelief and joy, welling up with tears."r...rahika!!" He breathed.
Radhika's reaction was also the same after seeing him "v...vedraj??" And she immediately run to him."vedraj....I...." She stammered in a low voice.
Vedraj replied looking intensely at radhika "arey, tumhe pta hai mene kitna miss kiya tumhare mu se apna name sun na (Oh how I missed hearing you say my name)"
Avni thought looking at them with an awww expression "They must have really been in love"
Radhika asked"A..aap yha kya kr rhe ho?(What are you doing here?)"
Vedraj replied with a pleasant smile looking at avni "ye, hamari pyari si bachi hai na isi ka plan tha ye hame sath lane ka (Well, our beautiful daughter got us back together)"
Radhika got emotional and tears filled in her eyes"ved, mujhe to believe he nhi ho rha hai ki aap sach me yha ho (ved, I can't believe you're here!)"
Vedraj smiles, his own tears were flowing freely now. They pull each other in a warm, loving embrace, their hearts beating as one.
Avni thought feeling overwhelming "This is so beautiful, I can't believe they spent twenty one years away from each other"
After a few minutes, they broke the hug, but still radhika can't stop blushing, avni was so happy to see her mom happy after so many years, so happy after seeing a real smile on her mother's face.
Vedraj look at avni and replied with a gentle smile "Thank you for everything, avni"
Avni simply smiled and ran to them, embracing them both tightly. In this moment, they were no longer, three individuals; they are a family once again, a complete family, made by the power of love.
After a few minutes, they sat there in the garden talking peacefully,sharing their memories and past.
And for the first time it seems as radhika and vedraj were really happy and their smiles are real, and avni's childishness was coming outside for the first time, she was so relieved now, as the burden of responsibility have lightened from her, as since she was 12 years old, she started understanding her mother's responsibilities and struggles of being a single parent, and their financial crises weighing on their mind, they hardly managed to pay her school and college fee, and avni started working from a very young age, whether it is tuting young kids or working in a cafe, she never backed off from her duties.
And now, when her father is finally with them, and their family is complete and her mother is also so happy, it was like as if a burden is removed from her heart.
Also, these past few weeks were so tense for all of them.
Just then avni's phone rang, avni checked it and it was bhavik.
Vedraj, aware of Avni and Bhavik's relationship, didn't react. But when Radhika saw "BHAVIKâ¤ï¸" on Avni's screen, she was shocked. She had no idea about their relationship.
Radhika asked confusingly "ye bhavik kon hai? (Who is this Bhavik?)"
Avni realized she hadn't told Radhika anything "vo....Bhavik....bhavik vaidya....(That...bhavik...bhavik vaidya....)"
Radhika replied shockingly "kya?? Bhavik vaidya? Isha Bhanushali ka fiance? (What?? Bhavik Vaidya? Isha Bhanushali's fiancé?)"
Vedraj interrupted"radhika? Tumhe nhi pta ye sb? (Radhika? You don't know all this?)"
Radhika replied immediately "ye sb? Mtlb? Kya nhi pta mujhe? (All this? What do I mean? What do I not know?)"
Vedraj replied surprisingly looking at avni "avni?"
Avni took a deep breath, remaining silent.
Vedraj informed "ye dono ek dusre se pyar krte hai (these two love each other)"
Radhika replied shockingly"kya??avni?? Ye sb kya chl rha hai?? Or mujhe ye sb kyu nhi pta hai...(What??Avni?? What is going on?? And why don't I know about all this...)"
Avni replied awkwardly"mumma vo..."
Radhika interrupted angrily"kya mumma? Kb se chl rha hai ye sb?(What Mama? Since when has this been going on?)"
Vedraj interrupted "radhika? Gussa kyu ho rhi ho? At least uski bat to sun lo? Or bhulo mt jis jgh Aaj ye dono khade hai usi jgh kisi din ham dono bhi khade the...or jo hamare sath hua tha vo me meri bacchi ke sath nhi hone dunga! (Radhika? Why are you getting angry? At least listen to what she has to say? And don't forget that the place where these two are standing today, we both also stood there some other day...and whatever happened to us, I will not let it happen to my daughter!)"
Radhika took a deep breath calming herself and replied "fine...bol...me sun rhi hu (Fine...tell me...I'm listening)"
Avni looked at her phone and the call got disconnected as she didn't answer it, she took a deep breath and started telling them everything from the beginning, from the day when they met for the first time to isha's wedding day.
Radhika got shocked listening to her, "itna sb ho gya...or tune mujhe kch btaya bhi nhi?(All this happened...and you didn't even tell me anything?)"
Avni replied in a low voice"sorry...."
Radhika ordered "mujhe milna hai bhavik se... (I want to meet bhavik....)"
Avni got surprised by her sudden declaration"Really?" and radhika nodded in yes, and a smile blossomed on avni's face.
Vedraj interrupted "let's go home"
Avni asked "hamare ghr na? (Our house?)"
Vedraj replied immediately"nhi, ab tum log us rented house me nhi rhoge, hamare ghr chlte hai, agrawal residence (No, now you people will not live in that rented house, let's go to our house, Agarwal Residence)"
Radhika replied hesitated"b... but.. Aapke parents? (B....but..your parents?)"
Vedraj interrupted"they're no more.... 10 sal pehle unki ek car accident me death ho gyi thi, isliye me fir kbhi india aaya he nhi... Mujhe or kch nhi sun na, Let's go (They're no more...They died in a car accident 10 years ago, that's why I never came to India again... I don't want to hear anything else, let's go)"
Avni and radhika were surprised and saddened to hear this. They felt bad for vedraj, although he showed no sign of being affected by this tragedy.
They all got up and walked towards the car. As they were about to leave. Avni remembered bhavik. "Wait, mene bhavik se bat nhi ki, use btana pdega (wait, I need to talk with bhavik and inform him)"
Vedraj smiled "me bat kr lunga us se, or use kl ghr pe bhi bula lunga, bat krne ke liye (I will talk to him, and will also call him home tomorrow to talk.)"
Avni smiled relieved, she felt a sense of peace knowing that her family was finally together.
They got into the car and vedraj drove them to their new home.
she immediately took out her phone and messaged bhavik,
****
