Mr.Gill comes back home a different man all together. The alignment of the stars seems changed.
Walking in quietly call in the county commissioner to take care of the mess.There is a awful silence in the house.
Rhea slips into a coma for four days due to the trauma.No one visits her in the hospital.
Screaming in the middle of the night Rhea rips the IV tubes from her hand.“I am sorry, leave me alone. Please leave me.” and slips into in consciousness.
This continues several time, she has a few trauma attacks. Unfortunately, no one is allowed to meet her in the hospital.
Seeing strangers everyday also affects her mental state.She asks for Agni or Richard but no one comes to meet her.For over a course of five months she goes back to the hospital as she is not able to cope up with her fear of her dad.
Mr.Gill wants to wash his hand off Rhea.
He calls Raya to consult.
Raya makes a grand entrance wearing a sparkly peach mini dress, she comes directly from Las Vegas as she partied with friends.
“I want good things for Rhea, God knows I want. But I can’t handle her anymore Raya I want her married off. I am done. Do something.”Raya comforts Mr.Gill, “let me think, everything is going to be alright,she is going to have a good life.
We cannot get a guy that will put up with her and just not have the money or status, they both will just drain your empire in a matter of weeks.
We need someone who has the family name, also has status to match.Now where do we find this guy?
What about the Hattens or Waltons? They have money, and this will be his second marriage. It’s an incentive for both of the families.”
Mr. Gill nods in disagreement.
“I need someone who I can have a upper hand on. I want them to want something from me and be Indebted to me.”
Sipping on Don Julio 1942, she opens a Red Bull can “Eureka” she exclaims.
“Do you remember the Zacharia’s?, they are an absolutely perfect match for Rhea.
They are always away from the chaos of this world, sailing away in their yacht most of the time they hardly would know much about Rhea.
See they need some help, offer them a good share. She is going to be taken care off.
I can set up a meeting with them within this week. What do you think?”
“Let’s do it, I just want her gone as soon as possible, after that she is their problem, I absolutely cannot just look at her anymore.” Mr.Gill leaves in disgust.
Raya calls Mona to find out where Rhea is admitted to which Mona refuses to inform.
“I am not allowed to Madam, even if I wanted to I couldn’t as I myself don’t know.” She assures her.
Raya starts making calls to fix a meeting with the Zacharias.
Rhea is kept on high dose of medication for her to be a little normal, to get her panic attacks in check.
She is now brought back home. She is quite mostly looking through her window into the void or just sitting down next to her mom’s feet and just crying uncontrollably.
It was almost her routine, no one to talk to. No one to sympathize. It was extremely painful for her to continue to live like this.
Walking into the restroom. she washes her face, picks up a blade and cuts through her veins watching the blood flow through her veins , smiling through the pain she sits inside the bath tube and slips into unconsciousness.
She is rushed to the hospital, again.
Raya confirms a meeting with the Zacharias, only Norma visits them. They make the deal neither Dev nor Rhea meet each other but the wedding is finalized.
Raya insists she meet Rhea, “that’s the only way we can make sure she doesn’t do something stupid.
She has to understand that she is going to have a nice life.
Now, take me to her.”
“Hey sweetie, you look so weak. Do you want to go out for a drive?”
Rhea and Raya hop into the Lamborghini Aventador and drive aimlessly. Both don’t speak and just drive.
After a while Rhea starts crying, “I have not seen Mike for weeks I don’t know what happened to him.”
“Shut up Rhea, you have an amazing life. The best comforts of life and all you can think is about that Mike guy.
Snap out of it, Maybe he was paid and asked to leave. What more can you expect from that scum.
Look, you have to start taking control of your life. Enough is enough babe.
You listen to me, we have arranged for you to get married, married Rhea. It’s a big change a good change.
Get used to that idea.
Look at this photo do you remember him? Dev.
Raya hand a photo to Rhea. “He is a good looking good guy.
He matches you status,you will be very happy.
Cut this s**t out. Go live your life happily.”Raya.
“But Raya I am not sure if I can do this, I feel like I have lost Rhea somewhere in the past.
After what happened I guess I am not sure I can love anyone else.
I feel like I will just be betrayed again, this definitely is going to be some kind of business deal for dad.
He will never give me into a family just like that, he would definitely have an agenda.”
Raya in an aggressive tone, “did you give him a chance? Every time he trusted you, you broke his trust.
Now this is your chance. Show everyone that you have changed, changed for good.
I trust you have more to offer, prove everyone wrong babe. I trust in you.
Go and live an amazing life.
Rhea smiles at Raya in affirmation.
