The Power Symbol

Chapter 17- Past!

Vihaan POV:-

I was hearing about her past, which made me realize how much Avarnika suffered in her past.

She had no one except Anjali and her family.

I had my whole family who raised me right and gave me so much love. But she didn't get love from her own family. She faced all these things together and raised the children on her own. She is just like my mother.

I am damn sure if maa was here, she would definitely tell Tej to marry her immediately.

" How do you know Anjali if you were living in Delhi? " I asked.

" She lived in Delhi near my house. But her family had to transfer because of her father six years ago.

But we stayed in contact all the time. " Avarnika replied, and I nodded and wiped my eyes.

" Bhai sa, can I ask something? " She pleaded, and I nodded.

" Can you tell me about yourself? I can see that you are a good person. Then why did you show coldness in front of the world? " She asked, and I looked at her with shock.

" How did you know? " I asked in desperation.

" I observed you and found out. " Avarnika replied and shrugged her shoulder like it was no big deal.

I sighed and decided to tell her the truth.

" Avarnika, When I was three, I had an accident with my family.

My parents died while they were taken to the hospital. My father died in front of my mother as she was treating him at that moment. " I said and looked at her. She was looking at me with shock.

" What do you mean by your parents died and your mother was treating your father? " She asked, and I sighed.

" My mother Teja Narayan/ Lily Smith isn't my biological mother nor is my father Dr. Akaash Rathore is my biological father.

At that time, mom was the president of the first Life Care Hospital in London.

My biological parents died in that accident, and I lost my memories.

When mom looked at me, she decided to adopt me immediately.

Then mom and dad got married, and after a year, mom gave birth to Tejashk and Akshaa.

Her pregnancy was a miracle as her uterus was weak to give birth to them.

When they were born, dad was as happy as my mom, and they both were safe.

Time passed, and when they both turned seven, mom called all of us and told us the truth about her life and mine.

I will tell her story tomorrow when we will go to Jaisalmer.

I decided to become a doctor like my president and help my mother in her work.

Dad decided to start a company. So, we brothers won't fight for the business.

Akshaa liked to become an artist since childhood.

So, my parents weren't worried about her future at all.

When I turned 18, I was in the third year of my bachelor's.

We came to Jaisalmer for celebrating my grandparents' and Jay's grandparents' anniversaries.

That day everything changed.

Our enemies found out about the powers of Tejashk and attacked us.

Our elders decided to save us.

Mom, Aunt Manvi, who was Jay's mother, and Aunt Akaansha, who was Apurva's mother, took us to a safe room.

Aunt Akaansha ran towards those bastards when she saw they were coming to catch them.

My mother and Jay's mother took us to the safe room and made us enter inside the safe room.

When they were about to run, those bastards caught them.

They... They started to torture our mothers in front of us.

They didn't know we were in front of them.

But we saw the torture they did on our mother.

We were crying, yelling, and pleading for our mothers to get safe.

Their chief killed Jay's mother first, and my mother's torture went on throughout the night.

When the sun was about to rise, he... he stabbed my mother in her stomach, and my mother died too.

That day, we lost everyone who was dear to us.

That day the main problem arise. " I said and closed my eyes.

Flashback

Vihaan POV:-

We were looking at our family's dead body in front of us.

Akshaa immediately scream and ran toward our father.

Apurva ran towards her father and mother and start calling them.

Rudi went towards his father and looked at him with teary eyes.

Tej went toward our grandparents and started to call them.

I looked at my Uncle Arjun, who put my mother beside my father and covered her with a white cover.

All the staff who left at my mother's order came back and cried for our family.

My aunt was crying while sitting with her father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Uncle starts running and ordering everyone what to do.

He called aunt Bubbly and our family secretaries to come here immediately.

His eyes held tears, but he had to handle the situation.

I held all my tears and screams inside me and went to Uncle Arjun and asked, " Uncle, how can I help? "

Uncle Arjun looked at me with tears in his eyes and said, " You don't need to worry about anything. I will handle everything. " He replied, and I shook my head.

" No, uncle. I want to help. " I said while pleading.

" Okay! You need to call your mother's secretary and tell her to announce in the press that our family died in a bus accident. Okay?

Also, you need to become the president of your mother's office, while your other siblings had to become the CEO of their companies, except for Akshaa.

Your family secretaries will take over your family's positions for some time. " Uncle explained, and I nodded.

I called my family's secretaries and told them what they needed to do.

After the press was released, a bunch of reports came to the palace, and many relatives and business associates came to give their farewell to our dead family.

They looked at us with pity.

Rudi, Tej, Apurva, Akshaa, Mrityunjay, and I took a shower and wore white clothes.

Then Rudi, Jay, Tej, and I shaved our hair.

Until then, Aunt Bubbly came to our home with her family.

She consoled us and sat beside aunt Kavita.

After two hours, we took their bodies to the electrical cemetery.

And almost two hours, we collected their ashes.

We came with their ashes to our home and put them in their place.

Apurva and Akshaa fainted because of all this.

I put them in their room and asked Aunt Bubbly to take care of them.

Harpreet( Bubbly's daughter ) patted my shoulder and said, " Vihaan, I am with you. But you need to see this. "

She said and showed me the stock marks of my family companies.

I got worried and ran towards Aunt Hannah, who entered just now.

I hugged her tightly and said, " Aunt, we need to handle the situation. "

" Yes, son. You need to give a conference tomorrow with confidence.

After all, you are the eldest child in this family with Rudhvik.

If you both didn't do it, I am worried the company will go bankrupt in a few months. " Aunt Hannah explained, and I nodded.

Then Rudi came and said, " We will do this. "

Our family priest entered and said, " It's time for Crown Prince to become the King. He doesn't need to handle the work now. But he needs to take over the situation. We need to do the coronation as soon as possible. "

I replied, " We will do the coronation and the conferences tomorrow.

The Rathore Collection, Life Care Hospital, Rathore Textiles, Rathore Pharmaceutical Private Ltd., and Kashyap Enterprises will not go bankrupt anytime soon. " I declared.

They looked at me and smiled sadly.

I looked at them and said, " I have a plan. "
