Evening Time
At Khurana Mansion
The entire mansion was graced with beautiful decoration of golden curtains and red roses. They were embellishing its beauty like jewelry do for a bride.
Mandap was all set. It’s adorned with ring shaped roof situated on four pillars all highly decorated with red roses and glass globes hanging around filled with roses and mini candles giving it an erotic look.
The wedding arrangements were themed with red roses while for mehndi only yellow tulips were used.
Mehndi ceremony was taking place in back garden which was filled with hustle and bustle of Khuranas and their relatives. Girls were busy in dancing on desi beats. While our Tulip was sitting on a canopy bed placed in the corner. (You want me to describe her which I will but not now. Let’s wait a little.) She was sitting with two beauticians applying henna on her either hand while the one on her feet was left to dry. Her cousins were teasing her by calling her Mrs. V as the mehndi being applied on her hands has a big “V” in the middle. Mr. and Mrs. Khurana were greeting their incoming guest.
Randhir was there to look after mehndi preparations while Aksh, Raghav’s son was given the responsibility to decorate Wedding Hall. (Raghav was Harish’s right hand, he was the one who covered Vyom’s dead body in Prologue.) He was not only the son of Khurana’s trusted man but also childhood friend of Randhir. He was accompanied by Randhir’s secretary Piyush.
“Piyush you know why we use yellow and red color for decoration.”
(You people must think if they are involved in Mafia then why the heck their men are talking about some decorated colors instead of discussing their weapon supplies and killing career, this is because both Aksh and Randhir were out of this sinful business from years. Randhir was the first who decided to quit this Mafia s**t because of that one incident which changed his perspective towards life. Aksh was the only one who supported him at that time. Now they are in Real Estate Business. Note: the past incident here, who knows might be its connected to our Aadhya)
(Oh!! Sorry for going off track, so where were we, Yup on discussion of Yellow and Red.)
“Yes Sir, I know it very well”
“We use yellow color cause it’s symbol of new beginning while Red is used cause it’s the hottest color ever.” Piyush is 19 years old and working with them for his internship, he is Aksh’s cousin so his answer was clearly justified as what else we can expect from teens of his age.
“Stupid f*****g i***t try to control yourself around me. Don’t forget I was in Mafia once” Aksh muttered in authoritative tone.
“Relax bro, I swear I’ll not use the word Hot anymore, now please tell me significance of Red color.” He tried to divert Aksh’s attention.
“We use red color because its symbol of Love.”
“It’s the color of blood” came a commanding voice.
Veer’s POV
A person often met his destiny on the road he took to avoid it, same is with you Harish Khurana. You tried to save Vyom under the name of some f*****g marriage. What a destiny your daughter has, she is caught between the devil and the deep blue sea.
Flashback
Veer’s Office
“Did you find out?” Veer enquired.
Kabir nodded his head in affirmation.
“Veer one thing is crystal clear someone from inside is involved with them.”
“What the f**k you mean from inside.” Veer lashed out.
“You remember Vyom whom we met at Khurana’s place, he is the mastermind behind this, and I am damn sure he has something to do with this alliance.”
“Relax we still have 2 hours for the meeting.” Veer said without losing his temper.
Flashback Ends
Humans pay for their deeds sooner or later. What this rascal (Vyom) think after doing all that s**t in meeting, he will escape. f*****g coward!!
Now, I’ll see how much you like my wedding gift Mr. Harish Khanna.
How you’ll feel when you’ll see the dead body of your daughter’s groom. It will be the best punishment for you.
I was busy with my thoughts when Yuvi, my younger brother said.
“We are there, bhai”
Pushing these thoughts at the back of my head I averted my gaze to see a heavily lightened mansion. It demonstrates how people living here were eagerly waiting for this day.
“Let’s go” I said little surprised from my own self. Why the heck am I feeling jittery.
Let’s see what this night has in store for me.
Unknown POV:
10 black SUVs entered the Main gates of Khurana Mansion, the guards on duty were little astonished along with the people roaming there, because they all were unaware of any VIP visit for mehndi ceremony. It was decided that mehndi and haldi rasm(ritual) will be attended by family members and relatives only whereas wedding celebration will be grand. All known businessman, Ministers and other big personalities will be coming to attend the marriage. But here the question is who is there at this hour and why?
“Sirayat, these cars are of Sirayat.” One of the guards said gulping down his saliva. Noticing the trembling figures of guards, a chuckle left Veer's mouth.
One of his guards opened the car door for him to step out and freeze timid heart of onlookers.
He entered the auditorium with his men following him. His arrival was like a hurricane-force which came without giving any warning. He stepped inside only to change chirpy sounds to a deep silence.
“Red is color of love.”
Comes an unaware voice from the right side convincing him to curl his lips into a sinister smile.
“It is the color of blood.”
He said in his usual dominating self. His aura of power and supremacy is enough to send cold shivers down the spine of listeners. All colors drained from Aksh’s face in couple of seconds and he started stepping back before turning abruptly and heading to garden.
Aksh caught the site of Harish chattering with some of his friends, without wasting anytime he made his way towards him only to explode the bomb of upcoming storm.
“Sir, Veer Sarkar is here” he whispered in Harish's ear in slow voice receiving an appalling look from him. Harish then headed back without exchanging words with Aksh but was taken aback the moment he set his foot inside. He is here. VEER SINGH CHAUDHARI is here.
Harish collected himself and tried to cover his shocked expression by acting act tough.
“Why are you here?” He asked directly without buttering him up which he wouldn’t mind doing if they met some other day.
“You want me to tell you the reason here.” He put more stress on last word while gesturing towards the people around.
“Come with me.” He said directing them to his office upstairs.
Glass window on stairs was giving them a good view of the function but they are not so lucky that we’ll let them peek through and get a glimpse of our Angel. She was surrounded by ladies as they were giving her blesses turn by turn.
“Now tell me the reason.” He asked impatiently.
“Reason!” chuckle left from Veer’s mouth.
“Yeah! reason of coming here” he said avoiding the threat and still standing his ground.
“I thought you will be happy to see me here. No problem. I know how to pull smile on your face.”. He said in his calm voice. It’s the silence before the Storm.
“What d-do you me-mean?” he asked little stuttering, putting his guards down and revealing his vulnerable side.
“If I am not mistaken, it's your daughter's wedding? Please accept a small gift from my side.” Veer said gesturing his men.
Four of his men entered carrying a stretcher with a lifeless body covered in white cloth on it.
