22. I lost everything.

ROOHI.

"If you are alive then why did your husband say you are dead?" he asked me "And then - he -" Uncle said as he fell on the ground. His hand was on his head. While he started to regret things and was murmuring loudly.

"Kill me. Kill me now. Roohi. I made a huge mistake. I made a huge huge mistake!" he said as he started to hold my leg and asked for mercy. Forgiveness for a thing I don't even know.

But with him holding my feet like this I instantly squatted at his level and I stopped his hands as I made him stop.

"Wait, uncle. Wait. What happened? Tell me slowly. It's okay whatever you have done. I don't blame you for anything. What happened?" I asked him making him from stopping from crying and screaming in regret.

"Your late uncle's company you remember. Jaipurany fabrications?" He asked me as I raised my eyebrows. Unknown to what he was talking about.

"Hmmm," I nodded to him as he took both my palms and rested his hands on my hand.

"I'm sorry. Roohi. "

"What happened, uncle?" I said as I stood with him.

His hands were still in mine as now they were sweating a lot and he was shivering. And he looked back at my brothers and then at me.

"When your uncle died he left the company to your dad."

"What? " A loud yell came from Aarav bhaiya as he walked closer and Rajveer stopped him. "Let's here first," he said to Aarav bhaiya and he stood there looking at us.

"But before dying your father named it for you," he said as all the eyes in the room widened.

Did Dad leave me his company?

Me?

"He noted. It is to be given to you when you graduate from a good college and get married. So that he can rest assured," he said as my eyes were teary filled with Dad and his love.

"AND WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL THIS TO US?! " A scream came from behind as I saw Vimal bhaiya walking inside.

"Because if I would have told you. You would have killed her to take all of it. That's why I told you all that Jaipurany fabrications was sent in charity. " he said to him as he looked at me. "And when you left here with him. Your husband use to send me all the documents regarding you. How your brother gave up their consent on you. Your admission to Banglore University, your Marriage Certificate with him. And then your death certificate two years ago. As soon as I issued the company under your name and went to see you in Mumbai. He showed me all the acts that you did. So automatically the company went under his name." he said as he again broke into tears and fell on the ground crying as he grabbed Bhaiya's legs and beg him for forgiving him.

I was shattered.

Shattered inside out.

Many things in my head running.

Ahh, this is why he wanted to change my name.

This is why he sends me to study abroad in one day.

This is why he didn't come back to take me.

This is why he married me in a hurry.

And yet he was using me to take away my company.

He took away both the last thing my parents left me.

The name that Mom gave me,

The company that Dad left me before he left.

And I was blaming Dad for not caring about me.

That asshole.

Brother kicked Uncle in his stomach as he fell. I grabbed him and I made him stand.

"It's okay uncle. You did your best till last. It's not your fault that you get scammed like this." I said to him as he kept crying in regret.

"I'm sorry Roohi. I'm sorry mere beta. I just wanted to see you happy. In all these years. When your father died, in his last moment he asked me to promise him that you be fine and happy. His last words were to take care of you. I broke his promise. I broke his words. " he said as he broke more and more.

There were hundreds of things filled inside me in pain.

But not a single drop of tears came out of my eyes.

Playing me, hurting me, using me.

I can forget and forgive everything.

But you hurting my parent's last wishes and last remainings.

What do you think? How will I make you repay for this?

What do you think? I will destroy you?

Rudram. You made the hugest mistake in your life.

Aarav again started to grab Uncle by his neck and started to hit him. And I stopped him holding his hand back.

"Not a single finger. Not a single word. Enough of you and enough of everything. Do you think killing him right now would get us back what is ours? " I said to him loudly enough for it to echo in Haveli.

"How dare you? Do you think just because dad left you company so you are any different than trash?" he said to me as I slapped him.

"Who are you calling trash? You are trash. Oh, no wait. Even calling you trash is an insult to trash." I encourage myself to bring out these words from me as he came on me but

Vimal Bhaiya stopped him.

"She is right hitting him won't bring back anything. We must fight what we really should," he said as he looked at me. For the second time in this life.

"The company was yours and he took it away from you. Get it back yourself. You are like bad luck! Don't bother us and our family. " he said to me as Aarav tried to stop him.

"Aarav until we knew we already thought it was given in charity. Just believe it is given to an orphan girl with the tag of illegitimate," he said to him on my face as he hold Aarav and left the room. "It's pointless for us to fight a dead war," he said to him on his way out.

While I was left. With nothing.

"Can I ask you for a favor?" I asked Rajveer and he nodded to me immediately.

"Can you find out a person for me? His name is Vanish. "
