Hello lovely readers . I hope you all are doing fine . Do check out my other book "the game of crown " on Wattpad or if you want I can upload it here too .

Do comment your thoughts and feedback . So let's start .

In the morning at dinesh's house .

They sent Pakhi to fields while they got chahak ready to sent her havili with heavy hearts .

" Maayi , humko itna kyu taiyar kar rahi ho ? Koi mela hai kya ?" Chahak asked innocent curiousity for a child like her as rekha fix her red frock .

" Nahi bachha ..voh ..tum haveli jaa rahi ho . Waha acche se rehna aur kisi ko bhi gussa mat dilana . Thik hai ?" Rekha said cupping her face as chahak nodded.

" Thik hai par hum haveli kyu Jaa rahe hai ? " Chakah asked as they were never allowed to go near haveli .

" Voh ..pooja Haina ajj . Navratri hai toh ladkiyo ko khana khilate hai . Iss liye " Dinesh said patting her head gently , it was a half lie . Yes today is navratri but no one will feed a girl coming from a small house specially when she is marked as slave .

" Toh fir Pakhi hamare sath kyu nahi aa rahi .? Uski bhi toh achha khana khane ko milna chahiye . " Chahak said as she share everything with her little sister .

" Tum jao ..voh bhi ..aa jayegi " rekha said , controlling her tears . They know they will not go to haveli , maybe never see her again once she go to haveli . How can a mother bare to be apart from her child knowing very well in what hell she is going .

Dinesh put hand on rekha's shoulder . Rekha looked at him . Dinesh nodded at her to keep her calm . Rekha didn't said anything just looked at chahak who is busy admiring her red frock .

Meanwhile in haveli.

Rajeshwari called one servant .

" Jaake uss bandhua ladki ko leke aao. Uske baap ne jo nuksan kiya hai uski bharpai voh ladki karegi " Rajeshwari said to bhuvan , who handle village work and follow their orders .

" Ji badi maalkin " bhuvan said and leaves with his gun . He walked in village and reach to dinesh's house .

" Dinesh!" Bhuvan called . Dinesh quickly come out , behind him rekha come too while chahak peek curiously from behind her mother's back .

" Tumhari beti taiyar hai ya nahi .? Badi maalkin ne usse bulaya hai " bhuvan said .

" Voh taiyar hai . Rekha le aao usse " dinesh said . Rekha reluctantly step forward while holding chahak's small hand .

" Chalo jaldi . Agar der Hui toh badi maalkin bohut gussa hongi " bhuvan said holding chahak's hand pulling her to his side . Rekha's hand instinctively reaches for chehak , her chest ache seeing her daughter being held roughly .

Bhuvan started to walk with chahak without a word to them . Chahak turned her head and wave bye to her parents with smile . They wave back with taars in their eyes . The moment bhuvan turn and disappear with chahak ,rekha burst into tears .

" Kese rehegi meri bacchi haveli mai .? Aapne dekha kitni berukhi se bhuvan ne hamari beti ko pakda tha ." Rekha said while sobbing . Dinesh held rekha in his arms .

" Hum toh bas prathna hi kar sakte hai ki hamari bachhi thik ho . " Dinesh console rekha while his own heart ache for his daughter . It's all his fault . If only he haven't accidentally ruin car from haveli he shouldn't be paying the price this big .

...............

Bhuvan walks in village going towards haveli .

" kaka ( uncle) . Aap bhi Pooja mai jaa rahe ho ?" Chahak asked while walking .Bhuvan didn't said anything just keep walking .

" Kaka aap itne chup kyu ho ? Aap bol nahi sakte kya ?" Chakha asked frowning .

Bhuvan glare at her . " Tum chup rahogi . ? Kitna bolti ho !" Bhuvan said walking faster .

" Aree kaka ! Dheere chalo . Hum itni jaldi nahi chal sakte . Hum aapse chhote hai " chakah said as her little steps can't match Bhuvan's big steps . Bhuvan sighed in irritation as he lowered his pace a little .

After walking fir 20 minutes they arrive at haveli . Bhuvan left chahak's hand

"Tum yehi ruko . Hum abhi badi maalkin se puch kar aate hai " bhuvan said and went inside the haveli .

Chahak looking around with her wide fascinated eyes . She have never seen such big house .

" Kitna bada aur sundar hai . Toh yeh haveli hai . " she said to herself nodding . Her eyes fall on the fallen paper on ground , she picked up the paper and look at curiously .

" Yeh kya hai ? Yeh kisne banaya huga ?" She said to herself looking at the paper that has the drawing of there figure as a family . A mother , a father and a child in the center. It seems like it is frown by a child because the the outlining are not straight.

" Yeh hamara hai , isse wapis karo ." chahak heard a voice . she turned her head and saw a young boy standing there with pencil in his hand .

" Hum kese maan le yeh tumhara hai . ?" Chahak asked .

The boy walk to her and stood in front of her .

" Yeh hamara hi hai . Iss par hamara naam bhi likha hai . Ayaan , tum dekh lo . " The. Boy said . Chahak frown and look at the drawing then look at him again .

" Dekho hume padhna nahi ata hai . Par agar tum keh rahe ho ki yeh tumhara hai toh yeh lo " chahak handed him the drawing . Ayaan took the drawing and looks at her curiously .

" Tum kon ho ? Aur yaha kya kar rahi ho ?" Ayaan asked

" Hamara naam chahak hai aur hum yaha pooja ke liye aye hai " chahak said with smile .

" Pooja ? .. ohh navratri ki pooja . " Ayaan said as chahak nodded .

" Tum kon ho ?" Chahak asked .

" Hamara naam Ayaan hai aur hum iss haveli ke chhote maalik ke bete hai " Ayan said with smile .

" Acha tum itni baadi ho , toh tumhe padhna kyu nahi ata ? Tum kabhi school nahi gayi ?" Ayaan asked .

Chahak frown " isschool.? Yeh kya hai ?" She asked in confusion as she have never heard about school . No one in the village is educated , no elder ,not even the children .

Ayaan chuckled at her cute confused look " Isschool nahi , school . Tum-" Ayaan was cut off by a sharp female voice

" Ayaan!" Devyani called him from inside .

Ayaan looked at chahak . " Tum bhi hamare sath chalo , pooja abhi shuru hi hone wali hogi ." Ayaan said . Chahak nodded , following Ayaan as they walk inside the haveli .

Inside the haveli , in the living hall Devendra is standing with his wife Rajeshwari. Vineet and Divyani also stood there . With them there is another couple too . An investor for devendra's new project . Mr. And Mrs. Sharma . Devendra was talking to mr. Sharma.

Ayaan entered with chahak .

" Maa dekho hum ek ladki ko leke aaye hai kanya pujan ke liya . " Ayaan said while walking towards them followed by chahak . Everyone looked at them , Devyani's and Rajeshwari's face twisted in disgust after seeing chahak who look around with fascination .

" Ayaan aapse kitni baar kaha hai ese logo se dor raho " devyani said , holding his hand pulling Ayaan to herself . Ayaan just look at her with confusion .

" Aree bhai koi baat nahi . Hamare liye toh har ladki devi ka roop hoti hai " Devendra said masking his disgust , smiling with practiced ease . Investers smiled too .

" Hume yeh dekh kar bohut achha laga ki aap partiality nahi karte . " AMrs.sharma said .

Devendra nodded with the same fake smile . He turned to Rajeshwari .

" Iss ladki ko le jao aur achhe se ready karo . " Devendra said . Rajeshwari nodded at one maid who lead chahak in one room . Everyone knows better not to say anything for chahak if Devendra consider her a guest .

Maid started to work on chahak to get her ready .

" Mausi (aunt ) voh log kon thai ?" Chahak asked as the maid pin dupatta on her shoulder .

" Tum chup raho . Agar kisine sun liya toh tumhari khair nahi . " The maid said harshly . Chahak pouted she can't stay quiet for too long .

Just then the door burst open .

" Maa ! Hamari jacket kaha hai !?" A young boy entered with irritated look on his face . He is rudra rathore . Rudra frown when he didn't found Rajeshwari , his mother in room . Instead a maid is getting a young girl ready .

" Tum kon ho ? Aur hamari maa ke room Mai kya kar rahi ho ?" Rudra asked frown at chahak scanning her from top to bottom .

" Rudra babu , Yeh basti se ayi hai . Par bade maalik ne isse taiyar karne ko bola hai " maid said . Chahak look at rudra curiously .

" Rudra bhaiya aapki maayi toh neeche hai " chahak said .

Rudra glare at her " Hum tumhare bhaiya nahi hai , toh hume bhaiya mat bulao aur Apni aukaat Mai raho samajhi!" Rudra said as he turned and storm outside the room

Chahak pouted . " Kitne khadoos hai ." Chahak said .

" Dheere bol , agar kisi ne sun liya toh tere sath sath hum bhi musibat mai pad jayenge ." The maid said as she fix chahak's hair and took downstairs .
