Chapter 4 ~ The harsh truth

Hello my lovely readers . I have decided to give you all a nick name . So here it is . I will call you all "🪽 Phoenix kins" .

I hope you all like it . Do read my story " 📚 the game of crown" on Wattpad .

So let's start .

Chahak walk barefoot on dusty path leading towards village .

" Hum ko ab koi nahi rok sakta ghar jaane se . Hum jald hi maayi ke pas pahuch jayenge ." Chahak muttered to herself with bright smile while walking , still in last night clothes that Rajeshwari made her wear .

" Bohot bhookh bhi lagi hai . Maayi ne khana banaya hoga humare liye . " She rub her stomach , hungry .

" Aur kitna chalna padega . Yeh haveli itni dur kyu hai . Kahi hum rasta hi na bhul jaye . " She muttered to herself pouting .

Meanwhile in the haveli

The maid hurriedly walk inside haveli. Rajeshwari was sitting on sofa sipping her tea when she saw the maid walking towards her hurriedly .

" Kya hua ? Itni jaldi mai kyu ho ?" Rajeshwari asked.

" Baadi maalkin , vo jo bandhua ladki thi vo bhag gai . " The maid said .

Rajeshwari put the cup with force on table as she stood up . " Kya bol rahi ho ! ?Kaha gayi vo ladki? Humne kaha tha ki uss ladki par nazar rakhna " Rajeshwari spat . The maid look down trembling .

" Maalkin humne toh usse vahi rakha tha jaha aapne bola tha ?" The Maid muttered .

" Bhuvan ! Jaake dhondo us ladki ko ! Abhi !. " Rajeshwari ordered bhuvan ,who nodded and quickly left the haveli.

Just then Devendra walk in living hall while talking on call . Rajeshwari turned to him . Devendra hang the call and look at her .

" Kyaa hua aap pareshan lag rahi hai ?" Devendra asked .

" Voh bandhua ladki bhaag gyi ." Rajeshwari informed .

Devendra's grip tightened on phone .

" Kese ? Vo ladki bhaag kese gyi ? Uss bandhua ladki ki itni jurat . " Devendra muttered .

" Aap chinta matt kijiye . Humne bhuvan ko bheja hai uss ladki ko dhundhne ke liye " Rajeshwari said reassuring .

" Aap samajh nahi rahi hai . Agar logo ko yeh baat ki pta bhi lagi ki hamari haveli se koi bandhua mazdoor bhaag gya hai .toh kya izzat reh jayegi humari ?" Devendra spat , his jaw tightened .

Rajeshwari place hand on his shoulder .

" Hum esa nahi hune denge , apki reputation par koi daag nahi lagenga . Voh ladki vapis ayegi . Agar bhuvan nahi toh uske maa baap khud leke ayenge . " Rajeshwari said with a dangerous glint in her eyes .

Devendra look at her , she is definately forming something in her mind .

" Kese? Aap yeh kese karne vali hai ?" Devendra asked .

" Voh ladki akhir jayegi kaha ? Uske maa-baap ke undar itni himmat nahi hai ko apke khilaf jaye . Aap apne kuch log bhej dijiye uske ghar Nazar rakhne ke liye . " Rajeshwari spoke with cruel smile .

" Yeh toh apne bohut acha socha hai . Agar aap na ho yeh sab sambhalne ke liye toh hamara kya hota ." Devendra said as he turned and leaves the living hall to order his men .

Rajeshwari look at devendra's retreating figure and then she also leave from there to handle other things .

Unaware there was someone who was listening to their conversation it was Ayaan. He hurriedly stood up and walked in his room .

" Kya voh log ..sachme chahak ko vapis le ayenge .? Badi maa usse jaane kyu nahi deti . Chahak kitni achhi hai ." Ayaan thought sitting on his bed playing with hem of his t-shirt .

" Humne itni mushkil se chahak ko help ki this escape karne mai . Iska koi fayda nahi huga agar yeh log usse fir vapis leke ayenge " Ayaan muttered to himself.

" Aapne kya Kiya ?!?" Ayaan hered a sharp female voice . His eyes widen as he turned to look at his mother , devyani.

Devyani strom towards him with stern took .

" Ayaan apne uss ladki ki help ki ? Apki pata bhi hai agar Bhaiya ji ko pta chal gya toh vo kya karenge ?" Devyani scold him .

Ayaan lowered his head like a guilty child even though he don't Regret helping chahak .

" Maa..voh achhi ladki hai . " Ayaan whispered .

"Aap samajhte khu nahi voh ek bandhua hai . Jaldi hi voh ladki iss ghar ki maid banegi . Aur hum nahi chahte ki aap usse dosti karo . " Devyani said firmly .

Ayaan didn't say anything .

" Jawab dijiye hume . Apko yeh baat samajh ayi ya nahi ?" Devyani asked .

Ayaan nodded reluctantly . His grip tightened on the hem of his shirt .

" Jake homework kijiye aur uss ladki se dur rahiye . " Divyani pointed at his study table .

Ayaan turned and walk towards his table . He sits on chair . Divyani walk out of the room closing his door . Ayaan look back at the closed door before turning his head back to his notebook .

Just then rudra walked in ayaan's room . Ayaan turned his head to look at rudra .

" Suno ither . Hamara homework kar do . hum khelne Jaa rahe hai bahar. " Rudra carelessly throw his notebook on table .

" Par hum aapka homework kyu kare ? Hum toh apse juniors class mai padhte hai . " Ayaan frown .

" Pata hai issi liye liye toh tumhe keh rahe hai . tum class mai first aate ho , tumhe toh sab kuch atta huga apni class ka ." rudra crossed his arms . " ab tum hamara homework karo , isse tumhe kuch sikhne ko hi milega ." with that rudra turn to leave ayaan's room .

" Aur ha , hamare wapis aane tak home work khatam ho jana chahiye , warna tumhare liye acha nahi hoga " rudra warned last time without looking at ayaaan and finally walk out of the room .

Ayaan look at the closed door again and sighed as he pick up the notebook.

on the the other hand

Chahak is walking toward her village . Bhuvan is on the same route . and unfortunately bhuvan's eyes fall on chahak . He quickly grabbed chahak's arm , who look at him with wide shocked eyes .

" kaka chhodo humko , hume apni maayi ke pas jaana hai ' chahak try to free her arm from bhuvan's grip , that only tightened at her struggle .

" ekdam chup! " chahak flinch at bhuvan's sharp voice . " chup chap hamare sath chalo , aaj toh badi maalkin tumhe chhodengi nahi ." bhavan said as he started to walk toward haveli , still holding chahak's arm .

" Chhodo hume ! Hume maayi ke pas Jana hai ! Chhodo !" Chahak struggles against Bhuvan's grip but it is no use , she is just a kid .

After sometime bhuvan dragged her inside the haveli where Devendra is sitting on couch . Rajeshwari is there too.

" Le aao iss ladki ko ander . " Rajeshwari ordered bhuvan who walk inside with chahak .

" Chhod hume . Hume apni maayi se milna hai . " Chahak's eyes started to turn teary .

Devendra stood up from the couch and walk towards her . He stood tall infront of chahak .

" Apni maayi ke pas Jana hai ? Par kya tumhari maayi tumhe rakhna chahti hai ?" Devendra asked

" Humari maayi hume zaroor rakhengi . Voh humse bohot pyaar karti hai . " Chahak said confident wipping her tears .

Devendra look at Rajeshwari who nodded and walk away from there .

" Chalo tumhari baat maan li . Tumhari maayi ko yaha bulate hai aur puchte hai ki kya vo tumhe yaha se wapis le jana chahti hai . Agar usne haa kaha toh tum chali Jana " Devendra said .

" Sachi ! Agar hamari maayi humko yaha se le jaana ko bole toh aap hume jaane doge ?" Chahak asked , hopefully .

" Ha bilkul . "

Just then Rajeshwari entered again , behind her chahak's mother , rekha walks in trembling slightly .

" Maayi !" Chahak called with bright smile as she ran to rekha and hugged her .

" Maayi hum tumko bohot yaad kiye . " Chahak said looking up at her mother.

Rekha hold back her tears and reluctantly pulled chahak away from her .

" Kya hua maayi ? Tum humko khud se dur kyu kar rahi ho .?" Chahak asked confused .

" Haa rekha . Batao apni beti ko ki tum usse dur kyu kar rahi ho . " Rajeshwari said with polite smile .

" Are bhai sidha - sidha batao . Tum apni beti ko yaha se vapis leke Jana chahti ho ya nahi. ?" Devendra asked putting his hands behind his back like respected leader .

" Hum ..hum nahi leke Jana chahte chahak ko . Ab se chahak hamari beti nahi hai . " Rekha speaks , not looking at chahak whose eyes widen .

" Maayi .. Maayi yeh tu kya keh rahi hai . Maayi humse koi galati ho gayi kya ? . Maayi hume ese chhod ke maat jao ." Chahak stepped forward but Devendra stopped her by holding her arm.

" Kon maayi ? Kuch nahi lagti ho tum hari ab . Aaj tumhara aur hamara koi rishta nahi hai ." Rekha said those harsh words not meeting chahak's eyes . (' Meri bachi mujhe maaf kar Dena ') Rekha thought

" Sun liya . ab tum yehi rahogi . " Devendra then look at rekha . "Aur tum jaa sakti ho " rekha started to leave holding her tears back as she took reluctant steps .

Tears gather in chahak's eyes . " Maayi! Maat jao Maayi! " Chahak shouted desperately struggling against Devendra's grip .

Once rekha left Devendra leaves chahak's arms. " Tum shukar karo hum bachho par hath nahi uthate . Leki saza toh tumhe milegi . Tumhe sachme lagta hai tum hamari haveli se bhaago gi aur hum kuch nahi karenge . " Devendra said wiping his hands like he have touched dirt . Chahak sniff still staring at entrance of the haveli from where her mother left .

" Rona band karo . Tumhari maayi khud tumhe yaha chhod kar gayi hai . " Devendra turn to the maid , kamla. " Le jao iss ladki ko aur band kardo " Devendra ordered .

The maid nodded and started to drag chahak away but this time chahak didn't resisted . Her mind keep on re playing the words her mother said again and again .

Kamla locked chahak in the same big cage where she was locked before .

" Ab yaha se bhagne ki koshish maat karna warna tujhe pta hai ki kya anjan hoga ." Maid said before leaving from there .

Chahak look at maids retreating figure before burying her face in her knees as she sob .

" Maayi .. tu kyu hume chhod ke chali gayi ? ..." She sob

" maayi kyu esa karegi .. voh kyu humse rishta todegi ..hum maayi se kabhi baat nahi karenge .." she cried .

........

Meanwhile outside the haveli rekha stood teary eyes . The guards bring Dinesh and throw him out of the haveli . He is beaten and bruised .

" Chahak ke baapu! . " Rekha hurried over to help denish up .

" Yeh sab kya ho gya .. humne apni hi bacho se kses vo sab keh diya . " Rekha cried hugging dinesh , who held her rubbing her back .

" Hamari bachi hume bula rahi thi , vo kitna roo rahi thi .. aur hum .. hum kuch bhi nahi kar paaye . Agar hum haa kar deti toh vo aapki jaan le lete . " Rekha sob .

" Pta hai .. hum samajhte hai . Tumne kuch galat nahi kya .. hum majboor hai iss waqt. " Dinesh console rekha,

" Chahak hume ka hi maaf nahi karegi .. humari bachi ka dil dukhaya hai humne" rekha cried .

" Na jane kab hum iss narak se azar hunge . " Dinesh muttered as they walk back to their Village .
