02. Someone Known.

ROOHI.

I walked inside the room as my brother gestured for me to sit on the sofa. My head was constantly down. But then I looked up at the people around me. And  I saw Vanish.

His eyes were red and widened and his hand was turned into a fist. I heard what everyone was talking about and it was not Vanish who they were here for.

It was the person next to him. The one I saw at the Garden. I didn't want to look at his face so I kept looking down at the floor.

"We have already given you the details of what and how much our company will be supporting yours. Even though we don't make out-of-the-box investments but we considering yours."  The middle age man spoke as Aarav bhaiya agreed happily with him.

But the only thing that had my mind clouded was Vanish. I looked up at him now, again and I noticed that he was now rather cool and neutral. I saw that there was another man beside the one.

But then the door opened and I saw Vimal bhaiya walking inside, Aarav bhaiya stood to greet him. I saw his face after six months so a smile appeared on my face.

He lives in the same house. But he hates my sight. So I live under and make sure that I don't appear in front of him. He looked at me, his face changed in disgust. I saw Suman Aunty gesturing for me to come. I was about to take a step when Aarav bhaiya stopped me.

"Don't leave, " he murmured under his breath. As I was stuck at my spot.

Vimal Bhaiya came inside and he stood at the chair beside mine. He sat beside me. He would never do that. Not in this life I always thought.

I was happy. He sat beside me.

"So, as per the stated deal. After four years they will get married and we will keep our promise of supporting your company. Until then and later." The same man said again as the Vimal bhaiya agreed on this.

"But you didn't ask if she wants to get married?" The main guy said as my eyes instantly went to him.

Ask me.

"She won't dare to," Before I could speak, Aarav bhai said, and before he could continue Vimal Bhaiya stopped him and he looked at me.

He looked at me willingly.

Not by mistake. Not with disgust.

And then he started to murmur near me and I was sure that others can't hear it.

"I fed you. I clothed you. I raised you. I educated you. It's time to pay back. " He said as I looked at him with astonishment. What was I expecting?

I turned my face towards Vanish and then I looked at his face which clearly said to say no. Say no. "I hope you still want to see that aunt and his son alive." He again murmured as I ended up nodding.

At that moment under the threats of Aunt and Rohan, I would have even agreed to kill myself.

They are innocent.

Innocent in everything. I can't harm them either can I let someone?

"Good then. Let's take a tour of Haveli. And let the kids talk and know each other well."

"But before you seal the deal. I want to put in my conditions."

Suddenly he said as we all became silent and looked at him.

"And what are they?" Vimal Bhaiya asked.

"Now that the alliance is made I want her to transfer to the city with us. She needs to learn how to behave there. As we have already seen a teaser of her manners. And from hereon every decision on her from big to little and tiniest things would be made by me or my advisor," he finished. My eyes widen at his words as I looked that he called Vanish his advisor.

And this deal. It's crap. Leave Jaipur?  My decision?

"We agree." Vimal bhaiya said as my eyes ran to him. How can he agree with this? He wants me to leave here. I can't. I will not.

"But I don't," Aarav bhai said before I could freak out. Vimal Bhaiya glared at him. "I have been looking after her ever since she was here. And I don't agree. I have made every decision for her. And I'm not letting her go until she gets married." Aarav bhai revolted as a little relief ran through me.

Even though the only thing he has done in his life is hate me. He took my side today.

"Aarav you know who we are talking about, don't you? " Bhaiya asked as Aarav bhai nodded.

"And that's why I'm saying I won't give my powers to someone else until I think he is capable," he said as I looked at him. Why this sudden drastic change in him?

"Fine then. I invite you all to stay here for a day and enjoy sightseeing in Jaipur. While you do whatever you want to," He first said to the guest then later looked at Aarav bhai and asked him to do whatever he want. And stood and started to walk out while Aarav bhaiya asked them to show their rooms and people. As I stood when they were leaving.

"She is nice," I heard the man with the guy as he was passing him with dreadful eyes.

"Fuck off." Vanish left in the last passing me a cold glare.

And I stood there as I saw Suman's aunty and Sukriti coming in. Sukriti shoved her phone in front of my face.

"He is a real asshole. Look at the information about him on the internet," She told me as she opened all the news online. Suman's aunty hugged me.

"I know it's all so early and sudden but you will get fine with this. He seems like a nice man. He even asked for your opinion."

"Ah look at his social media there are not as much as pictures as much as girls and drinks in his posts," She again yelled as Suman's Aunty hit her on her head and told her to get lost. While I stood there.

"Aunty, I love someone else, " I told to her as her eyes widen she was so surprised that she started to take steps back and fall on the sofa. And again stood and she shook me.

"You can't! You can't, you said that today never say that again. What if someone hears you? Aarav won't only kill him or you but he will burn down everyone related to you. "
