In the heart of Pune's dense and fierce jungle, a man sat on a chair like a king. He was about 30 years old, 6 feet tall, with a muscular build, a tattoo of Mahadev on his biceps, and a diamond stud in one ear. A light beard graced his face, and his eyes reflected a scene of utter devastation. This man's name was Vishwanath Raghuvanshi, known to the world as Devil.
Surrounding him were men in black, armed and vigilant. The blue eyes of the man on the chair had turned red with anger, his displeasure evident on his face. He wore a white shirt, the top three buttons undone, revealing a rudraksha mala around his neck.
With eyes burning red, he gazed at the man kneeling before him, desperation etched on his face. He felt the presence of death around him. Joining his hands, he spoke to the man,
"Devil, forgive me, Devil, I am truly ashamed. I tried for so long, but I couldn't succeed. But I promise you, I will find him soon, and you won't have to wait much longer. Just give me one more chance. Just this last mor..."
The man's plea for another chance was cut short as Devil, from his chair, shot him in the chest, killing him on the spot.
Devil stood up from his chair. As he rose, all the men around him lowered their heads, for Devil did not tolerate anyone looking him in the eye.
He glanced at the gun in his hand, then at the dead man, and said through gritted teeth,
"In Devil's world, there are no second chances."
Then, addressing his men, Devil said,
"Throw him into the jungle. He was of no use to us. At least he'll feed the animals."
Two men stepped forward, dragging the dead man into the jungle. Devil then walked out, his car waiting for him.
Devil drove his car. He hadn't brought his guards with him, as his head was pounding with anger, and his eyes were intensely red.
Devil's car sped along, and then suddenly, he slammed on the brakes on the highway in a fit of rage. His breaths were tempestuous with anger, and his red eyes resembled those of a demon.
He shut his eyes tightly, hit the steering wheel a couple of times, and screamed in frustration,
"No, no, you can't escape my grasp every time. Mark my words, one day when you're in my clutches, I'll give you a death so terrible that you'll beg me for death, but I'll make your life worse than death."
He clutched his hair in his fists and tore at it, shouting in anger. Just then, his phone on the dashboard rang. He picked it up, put it on speaker, and said,
"Yes, Sameer, speak."
Sameer's voice came from the other end,
"Vish, where are you? Do you know there's chaos here? Gudiya has turned the whole house upside down, she's uncontrollable. Come quickly."
He let out a deep breath and replied,
"Alright, I'm reaching there in a bit. You take care of Gudiya until then."
"Okay," Sameer said, and hung up. Sameer was his childhood friend; no one in the world knew him as well as Sameer did.
Vish first tried to calm himself. He took his cigarette pack from the dashboard, placed a cigarette in his mouth, and tried to control himself by blowing smoke into the air. His gaze kept shifting to the clock, as if he were waiting for a specific time. As the clock hands struck three, he turned on the car's music system and tuned into an FM channel.
As his FM channel connected to the radio station, an RJ's voice reached his ears.
"(Everyone in the world is wandering in search of someone, some searching for a destination, others for a path. My dear listeners, my friends, for those searching for a path, I pray they find their destination, and for those searching for a destination, their journey will become beautiful as they travel with me. In the evening's Question Hour, I welcome you all to our radio station. My dear friends, I am your RJ Angel. So let's begin this beautiful evening with our very first caller.)"
The RJ began speaking to a caller, while Vish drove, listening to her voice. He didn't realize when his journey started to coincide with the RJ's program, and when he reached Mumbai, he didn't even know.
Listening to RJ Angel's voice, Vish's anger subsided, and he was now driving towards his home in a completely normal manner.
Suddenly, RJ Angel's voice came again,
"Well, friends, our beautiful journey ends here for today. I hope you enjoyed today's episode. So, allow your ordinary RJ to leave, I will return tomorrow with this beautiful feeling. Until then..."
But before the RJ could complete her sentence, Vish abruptly stopped the car and stared intently at the music system. Looking at the music system, he said,
"No... no... no, Angel, you can't leave without singing. You know I wait a full 24 hours just for your program and your songs, so you can't leave without singing in your voice."
Vishalakshi Temple, Varanasi
As the sun rose in the east, vermillion clouds spread. Anklets jingled in the wind's footsteps, my heart's peacock sang. My heart sang, Om Namah Shivaya, Om Namah Shivaya, Om Namah Shivaya, Om Namah Shivaya.
(A beautiful voice from the temple's microphone was enchanting the entire courtyard. All the devotees visiting the temple had their eyes fixed on the girl sitting on the stage. She was wearing a red Banarasi saree, her hair flowing in the wind, kohl applied obliquely to her eyes, and a slight smile on her lips.)
I decorate the plate with a garland of flowers, I bring a pitcher filled with Ganga water. I light lamps of new hope, I bow my head at your feet daily. Overwhelmed with devotion, permeating every pore, my heart sang, Om Namah Shivaya, Om Namah Shivaya, Om Namah Shivaya, Om Namah Shivaya.
(Listening to that sweet bhajan, all the devotees present, after having darshan of Mahadev and Mata Parvati, were looking at anyone, it was the girl sitting on the stage.)
Formidable Shankar, the indestructible, I am desirous of your darshan. Thirsty for lifetimes of worship, bestow upon me just a little grace. Apart from you, my soul desires no one else, my heart sang, Om Namah Shivaya, Om Namah Shivaya, Om Namah Shivaya, Om Namah Shivaya.
The Panditji, while performing the aarti, seeing the girl, said, "Until I hear the girl's voice, it doesn't feel like the evening aarti has happened. But this voice is not heard every day. How wonderful it would be if we could hear it daily."
As the sun rose in the east, vermillion clouds spread. Anklets jingled in the wind's footsteps, my heart's peacock sang. My heart sang, Om Namah Shivaya, Om Namah Shivaya, Om Namah Shivaya, Om Namah Shivaya.
The evening aarti had concluded. The doors were closed for Mahadev's rest. All the devotees had left the temple one by one. But after closing the door for Mahadev, Panditji directly went to the place where people were sitting and singing evening bhajans.
But when he looked, everyone had left from there. Panditji quickly came out, but no one was visible there.
Just then, he saw the girl descending the stairs, approaching the car, getting in, and leaving.
Seeing her leave like that, Panditji turned towards the temple and, joining his hands, said, "Mahadev, what more hardships are written in this child's life. You are in every form, come in some form yourself, to help her."
Mumbai...
Raghuwanshi Mansion...
As Vishwa's jeep stopped in front of the mansion, he quickly got out of the jeep and ran inside.
At the door, he saw a woman wearing a black suit, with her dupatta covering her head.
Seeing Vishwa, she said, "Oh Vishwa, you're here. Look what Gudiya has done."
When Vishwa looked ahead, he saw two servants whose heads were bleeding and bandaged.
Vishwa closed his eyes and said to the woman, "Kaki, the moment I stepped out of the house for a few hours, you all couldn't handle Gudiya?"
Kaki said, "We could handle her quite well, but your darling sister won't be handled by anyone. I don't know what she's saying in English, I can't understand it at all. But she's only repeating one thing: she wants 'V'. Where did you bring it from? I've sent Sameer to talk to her, but he doesn't even dare to step inside the door."
Vishwa let out a deep sigh and then walked directly from there towards a room near the stairs. The door of that room was adorned with many Barbie doll and BTS member photos.
Standing right in front of it was a boy, wearing denim jeans and a simple shirt.
When he saw Vishwa, he quickly said, "Oh, it's good you've arrived. Gudiya isn't opening the door."
Vishwa grabbed Sameer by the shoulder, pushed him aside, and said sternly, "None of you can handle anything."
He took a duplicate key from the drawer and inserted it into the lock. He opened the door and slowly stepped inside, but as soon as he took his first step inside,
A flying ball came towards him. Vishwa, showing agility, quickly caught the ball and looked ahead. What he saw caused Vishwa, who was a devil to the world, to completely transform.
There was a smile on his face and a sparkle in his eyes. He smiled, tossed the ball in the air, and stepped into the room.
Leaning against the wall stood a 24-year-old girl. She had two braids and Barbie clips on them. The clothes she wore were also a pink frock, but her face was blazing with anger.
Seeing Vishwa, she became even angrier and started looking around. She spotted a unicorn teddy bear on the other side. She picked up the teddy bear and threw it directly at Vishwa.
Vishwa caught it, threw it on the bed, and said, laughing, "What's the matter, why is my little Gudiya a volcano today? What do you want?"
"I want 'V'," the girl said, making a strange sound.
She looked 24 years old, but her way of speaking was like a little child. She was talking with her lower lip protruding, and her eyes were blinking repeatedly.
Hearing her childish voice, Vishwa said, laughing, "You want 'V'? What kind of stubbornness is this? You know, 'V' is not here, it's in South Korea."
"Then bring South Korea here, but get me my 'V'," Gudiya said like a stubborn child.
She was demanding BTS member 'V' from her brother. And listening to this request, Vishwa couldn't understand how to explain to his sister.
The girl standing in front of him was none other than Vishwa's sister, Jeevika, whom the whole family affectionately called Gudiya because she truly was a doll.
Mumbai.
An auto stopped outside the radio station. A girl, in a pink salwar suit, got out. She was paying the auto driver when another girl pulled her hand.
"Oh, come on, the show is about to start, and you're late," the other girl said, quickly pulling her inside the radio station.
The auto driver kept shouting for his money. Then a bodyguard came to him and paid him.
He took the girl in the salwar suit to a glass room inside the radio station and made her sit. She put headphones in her ears and gestured for her to look at the microphone.
The girl nodded with a smile. Turning on a red button, she said into the microphone with a smile, "Hello Mumbai, I am your very own RJ Angel."
A week later…
Raghuwanshi Industries.
Vishwas was sitting in his cabin. A lit cigarette was in his hands, and his eyes were fixed on the screen. He was looking at someone's picture, and the more he looked, the angrier he became.
The ashtray was full of express cigarettes, but his anger wasn't subsiding.
He placed the lit tip of the cigarette in his hand on the laptop screen. The face of the person on the screen started to burn.
Although the laptop screen was on, Vishwas felt like his face was burning. Looking at the man with burning eyes, he angrily said, "You can hide, but you cannot die, Kishore Awasthi."
"Because your death is written only at the hands of Vishwanath Raghuwanshi. I have been searching for you for 24 years. And I am sure that when my search ends, I won't even give you 24 hours to live. You will suffer far more than I and my sister have suffered because of you."
Vishwas was saying this in his anger, looking at the burning face of the man on the screen. His face clearly showed so much anger.
His hatred was evident in the fact that the cigarette fire he was using to burn the laptop screen was also burning his fingers. But perhaps in his anger, he wasn't feeling this pain.
Just then, his phone on the table rang. He picked up his phone and saw it was from the spies he had hired from Germany to find Kishore Awasthi.
He put the phone to his ear and said angrily, "If you are calling to tell me about your failure, then my men will tell you what reward was given to all the previous spies who failed in this case?"
A spy from the other side said, "There will be others, sir, who took money from you but didn't complete the work. I am different. I have come here from Germany solely to handle this one case of yours. One thing is famous about me: I don't take cases of small-time people. That's why when your case came to me, I immediately agreed to solve it."
"I am the most famous spy in Germany, not because my fees are high, but because there are no shortcomings in my work. You wanted to know about Kishore Awasthi. I haven't found anything about Kishore Awasthi yet."
Vishwas angrily picked up the paperweight on the table and threw it at the wall, saying, "If you haven't found anything about Kishore Awasthi, why are you calling me to tell me jokes?"
The spy from the other side said, "No sir, calm down your anger. Even if I haven't found anything about Kishore Awasthi, I have a piece of news related to him."
Vishwas, angry but listening attentively to the spy, said.
The spy continued, "Kishore Awasthi has a daughter named Tia. She studies at Mumbai Santacruz College and is an RJ at a radio station."
Upon hearing this, Vishwas's face turned red with anger. Some scenes started playing before his eyes, but he clenched his fists.
He said angrily, "Your job is done, you will get your money."
Vishwas cut the phone and looking at the half-burnt picture of Kishore Awasthi on the screen, said, "Kishore Awasthi, the pain you have put me and my sister through for 24 years, now it's time you feel the same pain, when you realize what it feels like when someone you love is in pain."
"I have watched my doll suffer for so many years. But now it's time to account for her every pain and for your suffering."
Amidst the crowded streets of Mumbai, a car was speeding. Two girls were sitting in the back seat of the car.
One girl was wearing jeans and a crop top, and the other was in a plazo salwar suit.
Both had headphones in their ears and were watching a movie on their mobile phones. The two girls were laughing at it when the car stopped in traffic.
The girl wearing jeans took the headphones out of both their ears and said, "Kashi, you're absolutely right, no tension of saying anything to anyone."
Kashi, sitting beside her, glared at her friend Tia. Tia started laughing.
After that, she took out her purse and said, "Wait a minute, I'll show you something."
But then, as she tried to find her purse in her bag, she said, hitting her head, "Oh, I forgot my purse at home…"
Kashi's eyes widened. She looked at Tia in surprise. Tia quickly said to the driver, "Shambhu, park the car here."
"Yes, Madam," said Shambhu, parking the car to the side.
Kashi was looking at Tia in surprise. Tia said to her, "Kashi, I forgot my purse at home, and it has both my ATM and credit card. I'll do one thing, I'll take a taxi from here and go back home, and you go straight to the mall. I'll come to the mall with the purse."
Kashi's eyes widened. She shook her head. She wanted to stop Tia by holding her hands, but by then Tia had gotten out of the car. She had also closed the door.
From inside, Kashi was hitting the glass with her hand, shaking her head, but then the red light turned on, and Shambhu started the car.
Tia went back home by taxi, and Kashi reached the mall entrance with the driver.
Shambhu said to Kashi, "Madam, you have to get down here, I have to park the car."
Kashi nodded and slowly opened the door and got out.
As soon as she came out, she saw the big mall in front of her. She was getting nervous. She gestured for Shambhu to go ahead, so Shambhu drove the car towards the parking.
Kashi slowly walked towards the mall, unaware that two black Scorpio cars on both sides of the mall were keeping an eye on her.
Vishwas was sitting in the driving seat of one, and his right-hand man, Tony, was in the other.
Tony connected his Bluetooth to Vishwas and said, "Master, this is her. This girl got out of the car number that spy gave me."
Seeing Kashi passing by, Vishwas's hands tightened on the steering wheel. He connected the Bluetooth and said to Tony, "Get to work, I want this girl in the factory in half an hour."
Samir was sitting in his office cabin when his phone suddenly rang with an unknown number. He was surprised to see the number, as it belonged to the detective he had hired for the world.
Samir picked up the phone and put it to his ear. The detective said something that made Samir extremely surprised.
He got up from his seat and rushed to his car. He quickly called the world, but the world did not answer.
Samir then called Tony, trying to contact him, but Tony's phone was ringing, and he wasn't picking up.
The world's factory was near the old settlement, and there was a temple of Shiva Parvati between the settlement and the factory, which was being inaugurated today.
All the people of the settlement were present at the temple, as it symbolized their faith and love. Since there was no temple in the settlement, the world had decided to build one on nearby land, covering all the expenses himself.
On one side, the temple's inauguration ceremony was taking place, while on the other side, there was a different atmosphere in the factory.
The world wore a black pant and white shirt, with three buttons of his shirt open, and a Rudraksha around his neck shining like his face's brightness. He was sitting on a chair, but his eyes showed anger and a volcano.
The world's eyes were fixed on the warehouse door, where he was eagerly waiting for someone to arrive.
The door opened, and Tony came in with a man, who was holding a girl with her hands tied behind her back and a black cloth over her face.
The world’s face turned red with anger like fire as he saw the girl with Tony.
He stood up in anger, took out the gun from his waist, unlocked it, and quickly approached the girl, placing the gun directly on her temple. He angrily stared at the black cloth.
The girl, Kashi, bound by ropes, had no idea what was happening. She was going out of the mall exit when someone put a cloth on her nose, making her unconscious. When she woke up, she found herself in a car with her hands tied and a cloth on her face.
" I feel like killing you right now, but I think I should wait a bit more to see your father suffer. I have waited so long; I can still wait a few more hours."
Kashi only heard this voice in her ears. She got scared and seemed to be trembling with fear. She couldn't see anything as there was a cloth on her face, but she felt like her death was clear from the voice she had just heard.
She got scared, her steps faltered, but she felt a pull on her. It seemed someone was pulling her arm and taking her somewhere, and the next moment, she felt herself sitting on a chair.
The cloth was removed from her face, and her eyes suddenly closed. The darkness of the cloth had made her eyes adjust to the light, which now seemed to be glowing.
She blinked her eyelids, trying to see. She was scared as she looked around; it seemed to be an old factory, but people with weapons were standing everywhere. When she looked to her right, she was surprised.
A tall, mountain-like man was standing with a gun on her head.
Her eyes widened in shock, and she looked at the man with fear. She saw fear in her eyes and death in the man's eyes.
When the world saw her like that, a devilish smile appeared on his face, and he said, "I didn't know your father had made you so cowardly."
Kashi didn't have the courage to say anything. Seeing the world's angry form and eyes, she didn't have the courage to understand or tell him anything.
She was shivering like a leaf on her seat.
The world took two steps back and placed the gun's tip on Kashi's forehead, saying, "What if I kill you right now? Will your father mourn your death?"
Tony from behind also said, "I don't think your father will mourn your death. As far as I know, your father left you, and you've been living your life on your own for years. Why would he mourn your death? He would be happy that the trouble is gone."
All the men there started laughing.
Kashi looked around in surprise. Even a smile appeared on the world's face, but it wasn't an ordinary smile; it was a dangerous and angry one.
He said while laughing and looking at Kashi, "So, your father left you. Well, that's good; he's not worthy of being called a father. But still, he's your father... and I have a long-standing account to settle with your father. He tortured me a lot, but now it's his turn to suffer. Let's start by killing you and then make your father suffer."
Kashi's face was stunned, and she looked at the world with big, fearful eyes. The world placed the gun on Kashi's forehead and was about to pull the trigger when Tony said, "If you kill her, your revenge will be completed in a minute."
The world looked at Tony in surprise, and Tony said, "You've been searching for your father for years to take revenge and make him suffer. But how will you reach him by killing her? Why would he grieve for her death if he's already left her?"
The world thought about it; Tony's words had merit.
He looked at Kashi in surprise and said, "Your father left you. Do you think he'll suffer because of your trouble?"
Kashi looked at the world with fear but didn't answer. She was sitting on the chair like a stone.
The factory door opened, and everyone's attention turned to that side.
A pandit came in, but when he saw the scene inside, he got scared. Perhaps it was too late; he had seen what he shouldn't have. The factory door closed.
When the world glared at the pandit, the pandit adjusted his dhoti and said, "The people of the settlement are saying you should be present for the inauguration of the Shiva Parvati temple since you built it. I came to invite you, but it seems you're busy with another task. No problem; I'll manage the ceremony."
As the pandit adjusted his dhoti and turned to leave, the world's voice stopped him.
The world said, "Wait, pandit ji; you can't leave yet. You have to perform my wedding."
"You still have to get me married," Vishwa said, and everyone's eyes widened in surprise.
Kashi looked at Vishwa with fearful eyes. Tony didn't understand why Vishwa had suddenly said he wanted to get married.
He asked in surprise, "Master, what are you saying? You want to get married, but to whom...?"
Vishwa smiled and looked at Tony, then his gaze fell directly on Kashi. Kashi trembled in her place. Her eyes had widened with astonishment. Fear had already consumed her. On top of that, she couldn't understand if Vishwa was a normal human or truly a psycho.
With a devilish smile, Vishwa looked at Kashi and, stepping towards her, said to Tony, "You said it right, Tony. If I kill this girl in one go, her father will neither learn a lesson nor care about what he has lost."
"Therefore, I want to make her father feel every pain that Gudia and I have gone through. His daughter will have to pay for what her father has done. And if the daughter suffers, the father will come forward on his own. Even if he has broken ties with his daughter, a father's heart becomes restless seeing his child in pain."
Vishwa stood directly in front of Kashi and said this, looking into her eyes. Vishwa's eyes held passion and hatred, while Kashi's eyes held pain and fear. She trembled in her place.
After that, Vishwa looked at the priest and said, "Pandit ji, tell Tony what is needed for the wedding. He will arrange everything in the next 10 minutes."
Hearing this, the priest's nervousness increased. He was already unable to speak after seeing the gun in Vishwa's hands.
But Vishwa's question made the priest look at him in surprise and say, "Jajman, there is no problem with the wedding items, they will be available in the temple. The problem is that you cannot forcibly marry a girl in this manner. If the girl does not consent, this will not be a marriage, but a sin. Ask the maiden once; if she agrees, I have no problem performing the marriage."
A devilish smile appeared on Vishwa's face. He bent his head and looked at Kashi, whose face had turned pale with fear.
He placed the tip of his gun on Kashi's forehead and, leaning over her, said, "So tell me, will you marry me?"
She looked at Vishwa fearfully. Her gaze fell on the gun at her forehead, and she couldn't utter a word. Vishwa had pressed the tip of his gun against her forehead in such a way that she didn't even dare to move her neck to answer yes or no.
With the devilish smile on his face, looking into Kashi's eyes, he said, "Tell Pandit ji with your own mouth that you want to marry me...?"
Kashi's lips trembled, but there were no words. She still looked at Vishwa fearfully. When Kashi didn't respond for two minutes, Vishwa removed the gun from her forehead.
Looking at the priest, Vishwa said, "Pandit ji, the girl is not saying anything, which means she agrees. Now, do you agree or not?"
Vishwa pointed the tip of his gun towards the priest. The priest's dhoti had already become loose, and seeing the tip of Vishwa's gun, his fear was evident in his eyes.
He quickly nodded his head and said, "I am absolutely ready, tell me where the wedding is to be performed?"
Kashi's hands and feet trembled, but Vishwa's intentions remained unyielding. Within the next 20 minutes, a wedding canopy was erected in the middle of the factory, which until now only housed old and broken iron items.
On one side, two seats were placed, with Kashi seated on one and Vishwa on the other. All the wedding materials, which could be found in the temple, were placed in front. Tony had arrived with them.
His master was getting married, and he couldn't let there be any shortage in the preparations for his master's wedding. However, something still seemed to be missing.
Vishwa had just sat on the seat. Looking at Tony, he said, "What's wrong, Tony? Why is your face fallen? Your master is getting married, aren't you happy?"
Tony said fearfully, "It's not like that, master, but I had many dreams of doing the Nagin dance at your wedding. But it seems those dreams will remain just dreams."
A dangerous smile appeared on Vishwa's face, and he laughed and said, "That's all? What's the big deal? You just want to dance, right? Here, do it now."
Saying this, he signaled a bodyguard, who played a wedding procession song from his phone, and Tony was surprised.
When Vishwa gestured, Tony and some others started dancing in front.
On one side, the inauguration of the Shiva-Parvati temple was taking place, where the Aarti was being performed with grand chanting, while on the other side, inside the factory, Vishwa and Kashi were tying the knot.
As soon as she sat on the seat, Kashi's entire body went numb. She couldn't feel what was happening to her. Until a few hours ago, everything was fine. Everything in her life was normal, but now, suddenly, her life had completely turned upside down. She was marrying a person she knew nothing about.
Pandit ji proceeded with the wedding rituals. After reciting the mantras, he looked at Vishwa and said, "Now, you both stand up for the seven circumambulations."
Vishwa stood up for the circumambulations, but Kashi was still trembling with fear in her place. Vishwa grabbed her wrist and pulled her up. Kashi faltered, but her feet did not move forward.
She was still looking at Vishwa with tears in her eyes. The next moment, when Vishwa found Kashi not moving forward, he immediately stepped forward and picked her up in his lap.
Kashi couldn't maintain her balance. Her hands immediately wrapped around Vishwa's neck, and Vishwa, holding her in his lap like that, completed the circumambulations.
Their eyes met, but there was nothing in either of their gazes. The seven circumambulations were completed.
Vishwa again made Kashi sit on the seat and, sitting down himself, pulled her hand and made her sit.
Pandit ji recited the mantras for sindoor daan, and after reciting the mantras, he told Vishwa to fill the maiden's parting with sindoor. Vishwa took a full handful of sindoor and poured it directly from Kashi's nose to her forehead. Her entire forehead and head were covered in red from the sindoor.
Her nose was filled with sindoor. Only sobs escaped her lips, and tears flowed endlessly from her eyes.
Pandit ji said, "Your marriage is complete. From today, you are husband and wife."
A devilish smile was on Vishwa's face. He stood up and took the cloth that he had just put around his neck for the circumambulations and threw it into the fire.
The fire flared up like a burning flame, and Vishwa, looking at Kashi with anger, said, "Congratulations on your marriage in name, Mrs. Vishwanath Raghuvanshi."
"You are a girl whom her husband has abandoned right at the wedding mandap immediately after the marriage. He is neither accepting you nor giving you his name. You are bound for your entire life in a bond that you can neither break nor leave. And this is my first lesson to your father."
"Vishwa, this is not that girl..."
No response from Groq.
The world's astonished gaze was fixed on Kashi. With vermilion filling her forehead and parting, and tears of despair in her eyes, her gaze never left Kashi.
He had been seeing Kashi with fire of hatred and anger, but now, when he saw Kashi's small face, he realized how different that girl's aura was from other girls.
Vishv's hands were trembling. He had taken many lives, punished many, but his principles never included punishing an innocent. But today, a sin had been committed by his hands. Driven by his hatred, he had stopped thinking right from wrong, and a sin had been committed by his hands, making his soul tremble as he felt it.
Before Vishv could think or understand anything, Sameer's phone rang.
When Sameer picked up the phone and looked, it was Kaki calling.
Sameer picked up the phone and handed it to Vishv, saying, "Kaki is calling, perhaps she wants to talk to you. Your phone isn't connecting."
Vishv put the phone to his ear and said, "Yes Kaki, tell me..."
Kaki said something from the other side, upon hearing which Vishv's eyes widened, and he shouted, "Okay, call the doctor, we are coming right away!"
Kashi stood alone in that factory. A while ago, so many people were present there – bodyguards in black clothes, the wedding canopy, and everything else. But now, no one was there. Where so many people were just moments ago, silence had fallen.
Not even Vishv and Sameer. Kaki's call came on Sameer's phone, and immediately after, Vishv told Sameer, "Something has happened to Gudia! She has eaten something wrong."
Hearing this, both of them started running towards the door together, as if they had to reach somewhere as soon as possible.
Kashi was astonished to see them leave, and all the bodyguards also followed them. Kashi was left standing there alone. In her hands was the wedding garment, with which Vishv had taken the seven vows with her, but now only that garment remained in her hands.
What should she do with this garment? Because after what had happened to her, she could even use this garment to hang herself.
She looked around in surprise. In the entire factory, there were only old machines and windows and doors. There wasn't a single human being. In such a situation, what would Kashi do now?
Tears flowed from her eyes. She sat down on her knees on the ground right there and started crying uncontrollably.
Remembering those days of her life when she learned to struggle. Her parents had passed away when she was 10 years old. There was no one in this world whom she could call her own. Relatives had deceitfully snatched all her property and then put her on a moving train.
Speechless and innocent Kashi couldn't comprehend what was happening to her. When she woke up from her sleep, she realized that she was neither in her home nor in the place where she used to live. She had come to a completely different world. Fate had brought Kashi to Banaras.
The president of the Mahalakshmi Temple adopted Kashi as his daughter and taught her all the responsibilities of the ashram. Classical music was taught to children in that ashram. Kashi loved singing, but she knew that she could do everything, but she would never be able to sing in her life.
So, she mastered Bharatanatyam in classical dance and Kathak. But when Tiya came to the ashram in Banaras to learn music, she met the innocent Kashi, and they both started sharing a good bond.
Tiya and Kashi became friends. Tiya found out that Kashi had no one in this world, so she asked Kashi to come with her. She had gotten a job at a radio station in Mumbai.
Tiya brought Kashi to the city of Mumbai. Here, both of them started their lives in a new way, where Tiya worked at the radio station and Kashi took care of her.
There was no relationship between the two of them in terms of saying it, but in a way, they were no less than sisters. Kashi had compromised with her life.
She had decided that her life would go on in this way, but in Tiya, she found a new hope, where she could see the world from a new perspective. Despite having such a big deficiency within her, Kashi could do all the things that a normal girl could do.
If her voice was not used as a medium, then in a way, Kashi was accomplished in all respects. But Kashi, who was proficient in all her qualities, could not tell Vishv today that she is the wrong girl and she got entangled in a bond that she neither wanted to be tied into nor believe.
But now Kashi was left at the wedding canopy. A bride who didn't even know who the man was, who came like a storm and destroyed everything like a tempest and left.
She had understood that these people were planning to kidnap Tiya, but by mistake, Kashi was kidnapped instead of Tiya. But now what would Kashi do? Where would she go?
With dejected steps, Kashi stood up from her place and slowly walked out of the factory. As soon as she came outside, she saw a small settlement in front, where children were dancing to the beat of drums because the inauguration of the first temple of the settlement was happening today.
While the inauguration of the temple was taking place and the aarti of Shiva-Parvati was being performed, the wedding mantras of Kashi and Vishv were being chanted.
With defeated steps, Kashi went towards that temple, whose doors had just opened.
With disappointment on her face, Kashi reached in front of the temple, where the priest was performing the puja and distributing prasad to everyone.
The priest came to Kashi and, looking at her tear-filled, despair-laden face, said, "What is it, daughter, why are you crying? Today is such a happy day. Mahadev and Parvati ji are present before us, aren't you happy about this...?"
Kashi looked at the priest with tear-filled eyes and said something to him with gestures of her hands. The priest understood that Kashi could not speak.
So, he said with disappointment, "It's okay, daughter, forgive me. I didn't know you couldn't speak. Whatever your problem is, put your heart's thoughts before Mahadev. He will surely listen to you. You sit here, you can sit here as long as you want. I'll get you some prasad."
Kashi leaned against the wall and sat down on the ground, and disappointment was clearly visible in her eyes. Her gaze never left the idols of Mahadev and Parvati ji.
It seemed as if she was asking God for answers to all the questions of her life, but just as Kashi could not express her thoughts today being speechless. It seemed as if God also did not want to say anything to Kashi.
Meanwhile...
Vishv and Sameer both ran quickly into the mansion, where all the servants stood aside in fear.
Vishv and Sameer ran quickly towards the stairs, where Kaki was standing.
Vishv, climbing the stairs nervously, said to Kaki, "Did you call the doctor?"
Kaki also nodded her head in fear and said, "Yes master, the doctor has been called. The doctor and nurse are in Gudia's room right now."
As soon as Vishv entered the room, he saw that the nurse was holding Gudia from behind, and the doctor had a bucket placed at her bedside, and Gudia was vomiting into it.
After sitting in the temple all night, Kashi finally stood up defeated. She had many questions in her mind and had spent the entire night awake, asking Shiva the same questions, but she received no answers.
Today, no one was with her, neither Niti nor Niyati.
Finally, Kashi came out of the temple and started walking home. Her home, or rather Tia's home... but she lived in that house with Tia. She had no other support besides this.
After walking for an unknown duration, she finally reached in front of the house, but when her gaze fell on the door, she was completely surprised. It was a small house, which she and Tia had rented.
But now the door was locked. Seeing the lock, Kashi looked around in surprise. Just then, her gaze fell on the landlady, who lived a little distance away in her other house.
Seeing Kashi, the landlady said in surprise, "Oh Kashi, what are you doing here? I thought you had also gone with her."
Kashi, gesturing with her hands in surprise, asked the landlady, "Where is Tia? And why is the house locked?"
The landlady couldn't understand what she was saying, but she understood from her hand gestures that she was talking about the house.
She said to Kashi, "Yesterday, when Tia returned home in the afternoon, suddenly two or four cars stopped in front of the house. Some people got out and took Tia away with them. They didn't even give her time to pack."
"One man came to me and, placing a packet of notes in my hands, said that this is the rent for the house. Tia will not be here from now on. She is going back to her home. I didn't understand anything, but the way Tia quietly went with them without any argument, I thought maybe she knew those people."
"And after that, when I thought of you, I thought maybe you had also gone with her. But you are here..."
Kashi was distressed. She had no other place to live. She asked the landlady with hand gestures if she could stay there. She had nowhere to live!
The landlady understood some of what she was saying and said, "Look, if Tia were with you, then I could have allowed you to stay here. Because Tia used to pay the rent for this house."
"But now that she is not here, can you pay her rent? Anyway, I have already spoken to new tenants. They will be shifting in these days. Do you have money for the rent?"
Kashi shook her head no, distressed.
After she shook her head no, the landlady said, "Look Kashi, I feel sorry for you, but I can't do anything else. If you don't have money, then I cannot allow you to stay here."
"And after that, taking out a 500 rupee note from her pallu and placing it in Kashi's hand, she said, "For now, this is all I can do for you! Forgive me beyond this...!"
Kashi knew her helplessness and her situation. Trouble had surrounded her all at once. She nodded her head yes and, wiping her tears, thanked the landlady for the money.
She couldn't refuse. She really needed the money at this time. After looking at the locked house once, Kashi quietly took her steps away from there in another direction. Now she had to find a place to live for herself, but where would she stay? She had no place and she didn't know anyone.
Besides Tia, she had no one here. And because she was mute, no one talked to her. That's why she hadn't made many acquaintances...
Raghuwanshi Palace...
Last night, Gudiya had eaten mushrooms, due to which she had an allergic reaction and her digestion system was disturbed. She kept vomiting. The doctor had to be called in haste, but now Gudiya is fine. She slept the entire night under the effect of medicines.
But there wasn't a single moment all night when Vishwa had even a slight nap. He sat next to Gudiya the entire night and didn't let go of Gudiya's hand for even a minute.
Sameer was also sitting on the sofa. His gaze was on Vishwa and Gudiya. He knew that in the whole world, Vishwa loved only Gudiya. In front of Gudiya, he neither understood nor saw anything else.
Kaki was also standing near the door. Since childhood, she had taken care of Vishwa and Gudiya. That's why, just as Vishwa was worried about Gudiya, Kaki was worried about both Gudiya and Vishwa.
Kaki came to Vishwa and, placing her hand on his shoulder, said, "Now she is fine! See, the rashes have also disappeared from her face. This means she is sleeping peacefully, you also go freshen up and rest a bit. After that, you have to go to the office too."
"No Kaki, I will not go anywhere leaving Gudiya. Sameer will handle the office work," Vishwa said, holding Gudiya's hands tightly.
Samir looked at Vishwa and said, "I can handle the office work, but I can't handle you! Kaki is right, Gudia is fine and sleeping peacefully. You go, go and freshen up. I need to talk to you about something. I am waiting in the room, come quickly."
Samir left from there and went to Vishwa's room. After Kaki's persuasion, Vishwa gently tucked Gudia's hand inside the blanket, covered her properly, and then kissing Gudia's forehead, he left the room. Kaki was near Gudia.
When Vishwa went into the room, Samir was already sitting there. Seeing Vishwa come in, he stood up. Vishwa glanced at Samir and then walked towards his classmate. He started taking off his clothes. He had taken out home clothes, as he had no intention of going to the office today. He wasn't going anywhere without Gudia.
Samir glared at him angrily and said, "Have you thought about what to do?"
"About what?" Vishwa questioned.
Samir's eyes narrowed. How could he speak so casually? After doing such a big deed, there was no reaction on his face. Samir was utterly astonished. How could he be so carefree? Especially after that deed...
He said angrily to Vishwa, "Have you lost your mind? After what you did yesterday, how can you talk as if nothing happened? What do we do now?"
"Samir, are you crazy? What nonsense are you talking about so early in the morning? Who are you talking about? What needs to be done?" Vishwa asked Samir, remaining completely normal.
Samir said with surprise, "Hey, what about that girl?"
"Which girl? What girl?" Vishwa said. Hearing him, Samir wasn't just surprised, he felt shocked. How could Vishwa forget this so easily? This wasn't something from long ago; it was just yesterday.
He angrily approached Vishwa and said, "Have you lost your mind? After marrying that girl yesterday, how can you react as if you've done nothing?"
"What have I done? Who are you talking about? Are you mad? And if you are, then go get yourself treated in a mental asylum. Don't spoil my mood by asking me such useless questions. I haven't married anyone, nor do I know any girl."
Samir felt a jolt. He said with surprise, "What do you mean? What you did yesterday, that..."
Vishwa looked at him and said, "What have I done? Whatever you are trying to say with your tongue, it's better to keep it within your tongue. This matter ended yesterday itself. Last night's matters are over. That marriage was a deception, a pretense, and marriage has no existence in my life, and I don't even know that girl. It was all a misunderstanding, which ended yesterday."
"I brought her here thinking she was Kishor Awasthi's daughter, and after the marriage, I left her at the altar. If she were Kishor Awasthi's daughter, it would have been a matter of great pride for me to have left his daughter at the altar. But that girl is not Kishor Awasthi's daughter. Therefore, I have nothing to do with her now."
"Whatever happened with her was unintentional, and I cannot tie a mistake to myself. Whether she is Awasthi's daughter or not, I left her at the altar. So, let's end this matter here. From today onwards, you will never talk about this, nor should anyone else know about it."
Samir looked at him angrily and said, "Vishwa, have you lost your mind? How can you do this? That girl is mute."
"Yes, so I didn't make her mute!" Vishwa shouted.
Samir froze in his place. He was looking at Vishwa in anger, but Vishwa's eyes were also red. He came closer to Samir. In his hand at that moment were clothes to wear.
Making a bundle of those clothes, he threw them forcefully onto the side sofa and said, "Remember one thing, Samir, for me, my objective comes first, and that is Kishor Awasthi's ruin... Until I kill him, I will not find peace."
"I have no connection with that girl, nor with my revenge... She just unknowingly came in my way, and I cannot tie an unintentional mistake to myself."
"This marriage was just a deception. A lie! A pretense! Which I finished yesterday! I forgot about this last night itself; it's better if you forget it too, and yes, no one should know about this."
Vishwa said this and then angrily walked towards the bathroom.
When the bathroom door closed, Samir was astonished. His friend had become so blinded by his anger and hatred that he couldn't even distinguish between right and wrong! A mute girl, who had no connection to all this, Vishwa had played such a big game with her life, and even after doing this, there wasn't a single wrinkle on his face.
No response from Groq.
Looking at his hands, the scene flashed before Vishwa's eyes when he had filled Kashi's forehead with vermilion using this very hand, and after that, the color of the vermilion had become so red that even after cleaning, it did not completely disappear from Vishwa's hand.
Kaki asked Vishwa in surprise, "Vishwa, what is this red color on your hand? It looks like the color of vermilion."
Vishwa stood in his place, stared at Kaki, and said, "Gudiya is a child, she will say anything. At least you shouldn't say all this in front of her. Where would vermilion come on my hand? It's just color, it must have gotten on from somewhere. I'll go clean it now."
He went straight to the bathroom from there and started scrubbing his entire hand with soap, trying to remove the red color of the vermilion.
His face was filled with anger at that moment. He did not want any trace of his own mistake to remain in front of him. After cleaning his entire hand, Vishwa looked at his own hand.
The entire hand was clean, but the faint red color around his fingernails caught Vishwa's eye, and he narrowed his eyes and said to himself in anger, "This is just a mistake, it has no existence in my life, nor do I want to remember it."
Meanwhile, on the other side, Kashi...
When her landlady gave her ₹500, she felt some relief, thinking that with this money she could talk to Tia. She dialed Tia's number on her mobile several times and asked the person at the PCO to let her speak. But whenever the PCO operator made the call, he would say that the number was unreachable. Kashi was informed that the number she was mentioning was not connecting.
Kashi became distressed. She had no other option now, so she took a deep breath and decided to go to the bus stand. She thought that from there she would go to the railway station and, upon reaching the railway station, she would catch a train for Banaras.
Besides Banaras, she had no other place to go. At least in the ashram, Kashi would find a place to shelter her head. Thinking this, Kashi started walking towards the bus stand.
However, it was evening, and the surroundings were deserted, and due to the night, the darkness was deepening. Kashi, feeling scared, was moving forward with quick steps. Her entire face was filled with fear. She could hear strange sounds coming from her surroundings.
She was moving forward rapidly, but then her steps stopped at one spot. In front of her, three boys were standing by the roadside near a bike, smoking.
Kashi got scared seeing them and started retreating nervously, but the road behind her was also long and dark. Kashi covered herself completely with her dupatta. She gathered her courage and took the name of Mahadev.
After that, she lowered her face and started moving forward quickly. Those three boys saw Kashi passing by; they were all drunk and intoxicated.
One boy pointed towards Kashi, and the other two nodded in agreement. They left their bike there and started following Kashi. Kashi could feel the sound of their footsteps behind her, so she increased her pace.
She started moving forward quickly. Her steps were not walking, but running, and the boys also increased the speed of their steps. Kashi felt that the boys were chasing her rapidly; she was so scared that in her panic, she abandoned walking fast and decided to run.
She started running, and when the boys saw Kashi running, they also started running after her. Kashi knew that she could not outrun the boys, but still, she did not lose courage and kept running fast.
But the speed of those three boys was greater than Kashi's. Those three boys started running in different directions on the road. Two boys were running fast towards the forest, and one was following Kashi. Those two went ahead and surrounded Kashi, and one was standing behind, surrounding her.
As soon as those two boys came in front of Kashi, Kashi started retreating nervously, but when she saw that one boy was standing behind, she realized that the boys had surrounded her from all three sides.
She had no way to escape. She looked at the three of them fearfully, but cunning and disgust were clearly visible on their faces. They were walking towards Kashi, and Kashi, in fear, was looking for a place to hide.
One boy said laughingly, "Hey man, this girl is married, can't you see her forehead is filled with vermilion."
Another boy, looking at Kashi, said laughingly, "Oh yes, we didn't notice this, but if she is married, what is she doing alone at this late hour? She should be with her husband. Either she has left her husband or she has left her husband behind."
Hearing his friend's words, both boys started laughing.
The third boy, laughing, said looking at Kashi, "It seems her husband doesn't keep her happy, that's why she was leaving him. Never mind, now there are all three of us... we will resolve all her complaints. Tell us what you want? We will give it to you."
No response from Groq.
The condition of those three had deteriorated with just one powerful dialogue from Vishwa. All three began to retreat. "We won't risk our lives for a girl?" thinking this, the three exchanged glances and then backed away and ran.
In no time, the three disappeared into the darkness. After they left, Vishwa put his gun back on his waist and turned to look. He saw that Kashi was also standing completely stunned in her place. Ever since Vishwa had pulled out his gun and pointed it at the three, Kashi had been standing there in shock.
She hadn't thought Vishwa would carry a gun around. But when the boys ran away and Vishwa looked at Kashi, Kashi finally came to her senses.
She was still holding Vishwa's arm. When Vishwa looked towards his arm, Kashi quickly let go of his shirt sleeve and took a step back.
Her face was bowed, but fear and nervousness were still evident on her face.
Vishwa and Kashi stood facing each other, but both were avoiding each other's gaze.
Kashi's face was bowed, and her eyelids were fixed on the ground. She didn't have the courage to look up at Vishwa. But when she was in trouble and saw Vishwa in front of her, for some reason, a sense of trust filled her eyes.
She felt a sense of relief, as if seeing Vishwa made her feel safe. For some reason, she couldn't stop herself from taking a step towards Vishwa. And Vishwa also found himself in a strange situation. The relationship he was refusing to accept was now standing right in front of him.
Although he was still refusing to accept it and believed it was all a deception, a mistake. No matter what, he would never accept his mistake.
Clearing his throat, Vishwa turned his face away and said to Kashi, "Whatever I did was out of sympathy. If anyone else were in your place, I would have done the same for them. So don't try to connect this to anyone else."
The raindrops had lessened, but a drizzle was still falling, and in these raindrops, Kashi's tears were hidden.
Vishwa exhaled slowly and continued, "Look, I don't know what you are thinking right now. But all I'm thinking about right now is explaining to you what happened. It all happened due to a misunderstanding. If you keep it connected to your life, you will face problems.
"So it's better if you forget all this! That marriage, I mean, whatever it was, I did it in anger at that moment. I don't consider that marriage a marriage, nor do I consider you anything."
Kashi's heart was pounding, and the tears flowing from her eyes showed how much Vishwa's words were hurting her. With great difficulty, she pressed her lips together, suppressing her emotions. This might be a joke to Vishwa, but for any girl, it was neither a joke nor something to be forgotten.
But Vishwa had said so easily that the marriage didn't matter to him, but what about Kashi? Even if that marriage was a deception for her, she couldn't deny that whatever had happened, it had happened with rituals and chants.
Vishwa glanced at Kashi, whose face was bowed and her eyelids were down. He couldn't see Kashi's eyes. If he couldn't see her eyes, how could he see her pain?
He turned his face away. He told Kashi, "You are free in your life. You can go wherever you want. And don't think that I helped you today because of that. I did it purely out of humanity. Now I'm leaving. You go your own way too."
Vishwa walked towards his car and sat inside. He directed the headlights towards the road, but in the faint shadow, he could see Kashi.
The sound of the car starting made Kashi's heart race. She was alone in this world. She had no one. Her destiny had tied her to Vishwa, and she knew no one else besides him.
Although, truthfully, she didn't even know Vishwa properly, but at this moment, besides Vishwa, she had no one else. The dark jungle, the deserted road, and the rain...
Kashi began to tremble with fear. Vishwa glanced at Kashi and then started his car. He drove forward, and Kashi's steps faltered. She watched Vishwa's car leave with surprise. She quickly started to follow Vishwa's car.
After driving a short distance, when Vishwa saw Kashi in the side mirror, he suddenly stopped his car. As the car stopped, Kashi's steps also halted, and she stood there, fearfully watching the stopped car.
The car door opened, and Vishwa got out.
He looked at Kashi angrily and said, "Why are you following me? I told you, I have no relationship with you. So why are you following me? You can go wherever you want, but there's no need to follow me. If you want, I can give you money."
Vishwa reached into his wallet. He had left home in such a hurry that he had forgotten to bring money, but when he looked in his wallet, he found a 500 rupee note.
He held out the 500 rupee note towards Kashi and said, "Take this money and go wherever you want to go."
Kashi looked at the 500 rupee note in Vishwa's hand with pain in her eyes, and then she slowly untied her dupatta and placed a 500 rupee note in front of him as well.
She wanted to show Vishwa that she had money. She didn't need his money.
Seeing the money in Kashi's hand, Vishwa put his money back in his wallet and, tucking the wallet into his pocket, said to Kashi, "If you have money, then why are you following me?"
Kashi slowly lowered her face.
Vishwa tightly closed his eyes and exhaled deeply, saying, "Alright, I'm leaving now. Don't follow me anymore, or the consequences will not be good. My anger is terrible, you won't be able to tolerate my anger."
Vishwa said this with a bit of sternness and went back and sat in his car. He sat in the driver's seat and started the car the next moment.
He drove the car on the road, but this time he didn't drive too fast. He kept the speed normal and kept looking at Kashi in the side mirror.
Seeing the car moving once again, Kashi got scared and started following his car with quick steps. As Vishwa's car moved forward, Kashi came running behind his car.
Vishwa saw that she had covered about one to one and a half meters by running behind his car.
"What does this girl want? She's not taking money, not going anywhere, just stuck behind me." Vishwa muttered to himself in frustration and stopped the car.
The sudden brake made Kashi stop in her tracks again, fearfully.
Once again, Vishwa got out of the car and came to her, looking at her angrily, "What is your problem? When I'm telling you not to follow me, then why are you following me?"
Now Kashi lifted her eyelids and looked at Vishwa, and Vishwa could see her red eyes. He realized that Kashi was crying, and her eyes were badly swollen and red. Her pink lips were trembling. Her forehead, which she had filled with vermilion, had the vermilion washed away by the rain, but a faint trace on her forehead still seemed to glow.
Vishwa looked at Kashi in surprise. Kashi started to sob in front of him, hiccuping. She joined the fingers of both her hands to form the shape of a house and placed it on her head, as if she wanted to show a home on her head, and then shook her head negatively.
Kashi wanted to convey to Vishwa through gestures that she had no home.
Vishwa realized that Kashi couldn't speak, so understanding her words might be difficult, but she explained such an important thing so well through two gestures that Vishwa understood what she wanted to say with her first gesture.
"You don't have a home!" When Vishwa said this, Kashi started crying profusely and quickly nodded her head in affirmation.
No response from Groq.
Kashi didn’t like sweets that much. She quietly ate what she thought was enough for today - two rotis and a little rice. Before eating, she folded her hands and thanked Mahadev that he had not let her go hungry today. As she ate, Kashi thought about how many ups and downs had come into her life, and how she had overcome them all with Mahadev's grace.
But what could she do about her current situation? This time, the cause of Kashi's trouble was a part of Mahadev's fierce form himself. And his name was on Mahadev's. For some reason, Kashi felt a strange nervousness when she looked at Vishwa.
After finishing her meal, Kashi saw that the bowl of sweets was still sitting there, untouched. She didn't feel like eating sweets, so she pushed the bowl aside.
She thought about putting the dirty plate in the kitchen. It didn't seem right to leave a dirty plate in someone's house. She picked up the plate and came out of her room.
But where was the kitchen in this huge mansion? She had no idea. She peeked around, trying to find the kitchen.
At that moment, the same maid who had brought food to Kashi's room appeared before her. The maid said, "Madam, you can give it to me, and I'll take care of it."
Kashi shook her head. The maid took the plate from Kashi's hand, saying, "It's okay, Madam. It's my job."
Kashi watched as the maid took the plate and went in a certain direction. Maybe that was the kitchen. Kashi thought and headed back to her room.
Vishwa was pacing back and forth in his room, feeling uneasy. Why had he brought Kashi here? He didn't believe in this marriage, so why had he brought her to his house? He was tense. If someone saw Kashi, what would he say? No matter what happened, he couldn't let Kashi appear in front of anyone.
So, he had to send her away from here as soon as possible. As soon as it was morning, he would tell her to leave so that no one would find out about her.
Vishwa lay down on the bed and thought about all this. His mind was only on Kashi. She couldn't speak. She was helpless. She was homeless. And what effect would what Vishwa had done have on Kashi's life? Vishwa thought to himself, "What am I thinking? What does it matter to me? She can think what she wants, or not think at all. I have already told her that I don't accept this marriage. The rest is up to her. I helped her only out of humanity. I will give her some money and send her away in the morning."
Vishwa closed his eyes, thinking about all this, and fell asleep. On the other hand, when Kashi entered her room, she sat down at the edge of the bed. The bed was soft and cushioned, but Kashi was lost in thought. She was thinking about how her life had changed in just two days, and she hadn't even realized it.
Everything was going well in her life. She was taking good care of Tia. Then, one day, a storm blew, and her whole world turned upside down.
Lost in thought, Kashi's gaze fell on the table in front of her, where the bowl of sweets was still sitting. Suddenly, she felt something, and her eyes widened in fear. She thought she saw a hand coming from under the table, taking a piece of sweet from the bowl, and then disappearing back under the table.
She looked around, wondering if she had been hallucinating. Was it a trick of the light, or something else?
Kashi was a little scared. She had never seen anything like this before. She and Tia had watched a few horror movies, but whenever a scary scene came on, Kashi would close her eyes.
Now, she was experiencing something like that. She stood frozen in fear, and slowly approached the table. But then, the hand appeared again, took another piece of sweet, and disappeared under the table.
Kashi was terrified and wanted to run away, get help from someone. But then she realized that it was a human hand. Someone was hiding under the table, stealing sweets from the bowl. Kashi was amazed and slowly moved to the other side of the table and peeked underneath. That's when she saw a figure.
It was a girl with a frock on, her hair in two braids that were lying on the floor. She was half lying on the floor, trying to get another piece of sweet from the bowl.
Kashi clapped her hands loudly, startled. The girl, who was trying to steal the last piece of sweet, got scared, and as she tried to get out from under the table, she hit her head on the edge of the table. She cried out in pain and came out from under the table.
No matter how deep Vishwa was sleeping, he was startled by his sister's cry. He jumped out of bed and looked around. The girl had just cried out, which meant she was in trouble.
Vishwa quickly got out of bed and went out of the room. As soon as he entered the girl's room, he saw that her bed was empty, and all her toys were scattered around. But the girl was not in her room. Vishwa was terrified.

Kashi wrote this on paper and handed it to Kaki. Kaki smiled after reading it and felt relieved. Looking at Kashi, she affectionately said, "Oh son, you will take away all my worries. But we've run out of ghee and gram flour at home. If we bring these ingredients, can you make laddus?"
Kashi nodded "yes." Kaki happily asked a family member to bring the ingredients from the market, and then said to Kashi, "With your help, Gudia's laddus will surely be made now."
But Kashi's face still showed distress. She wrote again on a piece of paper and showed it to Kaki, which read, "I haven't bathed yet, nor do I have any clothes to wear. How can I work in the kitchen in this condition?"
Seeing Kashi's distress, Kaki thought for a moment and then said, "Is that all? You wait two minutes, I'll arrange clothes for you right away." Saying this, she went to her room with her maid, whose name was Soni.
After some time, they came back with a packet. Handing the packet towards Kashi, she said, "Son, this is all I have for now. You wear it for now. By the time you bathe and get ready, the groceries will also arrive."
Kashi took the packet and nodded with a smile. When she went to her room and opened the packet, she was surprised. It was a suit, and it looked quite beautiful. It seemed to be a designer suit, as it had beautiful flowers and embroidery on it. Kashi saw that the suit was a bit large for her size, but she had no other option at the moment.
After bathing, Kashi looked at herself in the mirror. Her entire face was plain, and her hair parting was completely empty. Today, her own face felt incomplete. In that hair parting, where yesterday there was a light redness of sindoor, today there was nothing. For some reason, her empty hair parting felt very jarring to her. She controlled the emotions rising within her and walked out of the room, letting out a deep sigh.
Going to the kitchen, she saw that the ingredients for making laddus had arrived. Kashi smiled and went to Kaki, gesturing for her to make the laddus. Kaki placed her hand on her head and said, "Son, I don't understand the language of your fingers. Do what you have to do."
Kashi smiled and went to the stove. She set aside the ingredients for making laddus and first touched the stove to pay respects. Kaki and maid Soni were both looking at Kashi in surprise. No one in this house had ever done this before. It seemed as if Kashi was praying to God for her first kitchen experience.
Indirectly speaking, this was indeed Kashi's first kitchen experience, which Kashi herself was not even aware of.
Soni had prepared all the breakfast, and Kashi had only made the laddus. All the breakfast was laid out on the dining table, and by now Vishwa had also returned from the gym. He came downstairs, fresh and in his office clothes, and right behind him, jumping and twirling her doll, came Gudia. Gudia was wearing a yellow frock today and, as always, had cute ribbons tied in her two braids.
Gudia came and sat on her Barbie doll chair, and Vishwa sat on his chair. Soni and Kaki were setting the breakfast on the dining table, but as soon as Vishwa's eyes fell on Kashi, his hand stopped on the newspaper, and he looked at Kashi in surprise. Kashi looked very beautiful in the orange suit. The innocence and radiance of her face shone even brighter with the morning light. This was the first time he had looked at Kashi so intently, with such simplicity.
"That's enough, brother, are you going to eat her with your eyes?" Gudia said teasingly. Hearing this, Vishwa came to his senses and quickly turned his attention to his plate. Straightening his plate, he said to Kaki, "Kaki, my black coffee."
"Yes, son, I'm bringing it now," Kaki poured the black coffee into a cup and placed it directly into Kashi's hand. Kashi looked at Kaki in surprise, so Kaki said, "Son, my hands have blisters, you go give Vishwa his coffee."
Kashi kept looking at Kaki in surprise, then her gaze fell on Vishwa, who was engrossed in reading the newspaper. Swallowing her saliva, Kashi nervously walked towards Vishwa and stood near him with the coffee cup. When Vishwa didn't react for two minutes, he finally looked up at Kashi. Kashi, with fearful eyes, looked at the coffee and extended it towards him.
"What are you doing?" Vishwa asked, staring at Kashi. Kashi didn't reply, but instead presented the coffee cup to him. "What are you doing?" Vishwa asked again, as he couldn't understand Kashi's manner. Gudia started laughing at this and said, "Brother, she's asking you where to put the coffee."
Vishwa said angrily, "Put it on my head."
Kashi became very nervous and quickly placed the coffee in front of Vishw. Gudia’s sudden laughter erupted. Kaki, who was next to Gudia, asked Gudia, "What's the matter, Gudia, why are you laughing?"
Gudia leaned closer to Kaki and whispered in her ear, "Kaki, Pranshu Baby and Pankhudi."
"Who are these two?" Kaki asked.
Gudia quickly replied, "Oh Kaki, Kajal Aneja is a writer. She has a very powerful novel. Her characters, the way they get entangled with each other, it’s just like how the Silent Girl is getting entangled with them."
Hearing her, Kaki said, "How can that be, dear? Kashi can't speak."
Gudia said laughingly, "Pankhudi can speak, but in front of Baby Prash, even she can't find her voice."
Kaki said, "If that's the case, tell your brother to make Kashi your sister-in-law."
Gudia was laughing, comparing Kashi and Vishw to Pransh and Pankhudi. Seeing her laugh, Vishw said, "Why are you showing your teeth? Quietly eat your breakfast." Hearing this, Gudia covered her mouth and started laughing, then began to eat breakfast. Kaki was also smiling, and seeing this, Vishw said, "Since when have guests been made to work in this house, Kaki? Don't you know this girl is a guest in our house and will be leaving this evening? Then why did you let her work? Have we run out of servants in this house?"
Kaki replied, "No, son, I didn't ask her to do any work. She herself told me that she wanted to make ladoos for Gudia. She wrote it for me on a slip of paper. I would have made them myself, but I have blisters on my hands, that's why Kashi made the ladoos. Don't ruin your day over this small matter. Eat your breakfast. I won't let her do any more work. Kashi, dear, you also sit down and have breakfast."
Gudia smiled and gestured for Kashi to sit beside her. Kashi also smiled and sat down next to Gudia. Gudia was taking ladoos from her plate and placing them on Kashi's plate. Seeing this, Vishw said, "Gudia, eat your own breakfast. Don't give your leftovers to guests."
But then he saw that Kashi had already eaten the ladoos Gudia had given her, with a smile.
Vishw, with a slight cough, his eyes fixed on his plate, said to Kashi, "Tell the driver wherever you need to go, he will drop you." Kashi slowly looked at him and gestured with her fingers, but Vishw couldn't understand what she wanted to say.
Gudia, with her hand on her mouth in surprise, said, "Brother, she has no place to stay. Where will she go?"
Vishw's hand stopped mid-bite. He slowly looked around and after thinking for a moment, said, "Where she will go, only she would know. We can only help her a little. Otherwise, she can go wherever she wants."
Gudia innocently said, "Brother, why can't she stay with us? There is space in my room, I'll shift a little, and she can sleep on my bed."
Vishw looked at her in surprise, and Kashi also stared at him silently. Vishw slowly said to Gudia, "No, Gudia, she cannot stay with us. This is not her home."
Gudia said, a little sadly, "But she is saying that she has no home. So why can't we keep her in our house?"
Vishw, seeing Gudia's insistence, thought for a while. Then Kashi quickly held Gudia's hand and pulled her towards her. Gudia looked at Kashi with regret, and Kashi tried to explain to her with gestures. Gudia slowly lowered her head and said, "It's okay, Silent Girl, I was talking to brother, right? Now that you have no place to stay, you can stay in my room."
"Gudia, don't be stubborn! I said she cannot stay with us, that's it! End of discussion, now quietly eat your breakfast, I have to go to the office," Vishw said. Then he glanced at Gudia and said, "If you wish, you can stay with Kashi all day today, but Kashi has to leave here in the evening."
Saying this, Vishw stood up, took his phone, and walked straight towards the sofa where his laptop bag was kept. Taking the laptop bag, he looked at Kashi once more and then left for the office. Kashi kept watching him leave with surprise.
Vishw had made the decision that Kashi would not stay in this house, and that was his decision until now. Besides, Kashi also did not want to be a burden in this house or in Vishw's life. She had made peace with her destiny, but somewhere inside, there was something else she desired. Even though Vishw was refusing to accept this relationship, Kashi was still entangled in the emotions of this relationship.
Kashi couldn't understand where things were going right and where they were going wrong in her life. She hadn't done anything wrong, so why were so many wrong things happening to her? But if there was anything right in all these wrong things, it was Gudia's innocence, her simplicity, and her playful behavior. All these things brought a smile to Kashi's face.
If Vishw didn't want Kashi to stay with them, then Kashi also didn't want to be a burden on Vishw. She had decided in her heart that she would quietly leave from there in the evening.
All day Vishw sat in the office, but his mind was filled with restlessness. Countless thoughts were coming to his mind, which he himself couldn't understand. When the clock struck 6:00, his mind became even more restless. He quickly got up from his seat and hurried out of his cabin. After reaching the lift, he directly got into his car in the parking lot and drove home.
He always used to rush home because he had to see Gudia, but today the situation was a bit different. Today, he just wanted to see if Kashi was still at home, or rather, he wanted to see Kashi at home.
Upon reaching the mansion, Vishw saw that all the servants were cleaning the hall, and everyone was busy with their work. But amidst all this, Kashi was nowhere to be seen. Disappointment spread across Vishw's face. He took a deep breath and came inside with his laptop bag. A servant came and stood before him, and Vishw handed the bag over to him. The servant took the bag and headed straight towards the library.
Vishw walked towards his room, but with every step, a sense of unease and nervousness grew in his heart. He felt as if Kashi was nearby. Even though he had told her to leave in the morning, if Kashi were in front of him at this moment, he probably wouldn't have been able to say anything. Perhaps, if Kashi appeared before him, he would have asked her to stay.
Vishw reached his room door, and with a deep sigh, placed his hand on the door handle when suddenly the sound of crying came from Gudia's room. Hearing this, Vishw's hand trembled, and he quickly moved towards Gudia's room. As he moved forward to open the door, Kashi suddenly came in front of him.
Seeing Kashi, Vishw's eyes widened, and he looked at her in surprise. There was fear and nervousness on Kashi's face too, and she also looked at Vishw in surprise.
