"Oh! Hello Mrs Kapoor. You know why I'm here." A voice fills the room.
"What do you want now? I have given in to all your demands. " Sujata shouts after hearing the voice.
"Don't get angry, it is just that whatever you give me is not enough. Prices are soaring and everything is so expensive." He laughed sarcastically.
"Don't beat around the bush. State your price and go away." Sujata was getting irritated.
"I want you. As you age, you look more graceful. I want to ravish your beauty just like in the preceding days. I have pleasured you several times and you paid for it. I'm back now and I want you." He went near her and ran his finger from her forehead to her cheeks, neck and stopped at the beginning of her cleavage.
"Cut the crap you pervert. That was my misstep and I had paid you it's the price. You were not supposed to be back. After giving in to your physical and materialistic demands you have not given me the video." Sujata was furious. She removed his hand and pushed him hard.
"Oh! my, my you are a successful entrepreneur and you don't know that a businessman does not sell its profit-earning asset." he chuckled and yanked her by her arm.
"What do you want?" Sujata was feeling helpless and dejected.
"Today meet me in the same pub we used to hang around, and you will spend the night with me."With a serious face, he states what he wants.
"And you think I will agree." Sujata turned her face away from him.
"Do you have a choice? Also, I need money, one crore to be precise."
"Do you think money grows on a tree? Where will I get that much money?”
" Come on dear, you think I'm dumb. You are running one of the biggest enterprises in the country and your son is a successful singer and you say you don't have money." He started laughing hysterically.
All of a sudden Sujata points her licensed revolver towards the man. With a jolt, he throws paperweight on Sujata's hand.
"Don't you dare do that? I have friends who will viral the video if something happens to me." He slightly rubs her cheek and slams the door shut.
Sujata suddenly feels short of breath. Drinking a glass of water she starts thinking about what to do? She calls Simm, "I won't be home tonight as some urgent work has come up. Don't wait for me." She went ahead to meet the man.
Eventually, the day of their departure came."Everything is ready."
"Yes, mom everything is ready. Even we are ready." Abhi came pulling his bag.
"I have asked John to prepare everything for your stay. Take care and call me once you reach. I will join you all in a few days. Ok bye." She hugged both and bid them adieu.
"Bye," Both shouted as the car started rolling.
By the time they reached Darjeeling, dusk was engulfing the light. Sunset was looking stunning with the sky filled with tinges of grey and orange. The view was .
Both the men were awestruck by the vivid mansion in front of them.
"It is so beautiful," exclaimed Abhi.
"Welcome, sir and mam. Please make yourself comfortable. I will ask the staff to take your luggage to your respective rooms." John ushered them in.
"Let's freshen up and then can roam around a little, before dinner." Abhi wanted to explore a little.
After dinner, they all relinquished their rooms and called the night off.
The sun had risen above the horizon and its rays were falling on earth as if kissing all the beings with passion, the sky was filled with beautiful hues and a figure was walking in the garden enjoying the cool morning breeze.
"Hey, Good Morning you are up early. We are here to enjoy our vacation." Manav saw Abhi from a distance and joined him.
"Hey, Good Morning. This place is so serene and peaceful that I wanted to enjoy its beauty". Abhi was strolling when they heard Simmi's voice.
"Come on boys, breakfast is served."
"Coming" both of them shouted unanimously.
"Why don't you both take a stroll around. There is a nice cafe around the corner where your father used to go." Simmi told them about the surrounding area.
" But before that, I want to meet grandma. We will go to the hospital first." Abhi cut her off.
"Ok, as you both wish." Simmi agreed to their wish. She wanted to pay a visit to her mother. It has been ages since she last met her.
All three of them went to meet Rajini. As soon as Abhi touched Rajini's palm, there was a sensation in her hand and her eyes flickered open. She murmured, "Raj is back". They all were dumbfounded. Manav was the first one to concede, he quickly ran and called the doctor. They narrated everything to the doctor. " Simmi, is he Raj's son?
"Yes, doctor. He is Abhimanyu and Raj bhai's son." Simmi gave a baffled reply
"Son, I think I can call you that." Abhi nodded in reply.
"Your frequent visits to your grandmother can wake her. I had told this to Simmi before also and today's incident proves me right. I think you can do this much." The doctor provided a clear picture.
"I will make sure to visit her every day till I'm here," Abhi assured him of his visit.
They stayed there for some time and then went back.
"Bua I want to visit Tiger Hill to view the sunrise, so at what time should we depart?" Abhi inquired from Simmi.
"In the wee hours of the morning. I will make sure to wake you up on the daybreak." replied the butler.
It was still dark when they reached Tiger Hill. A large crowd had gathered at Tiger Hill to view the sunrise. After a while Day breaks and slowly the colour of the sky changes from grey to orange. Kanchenjunga peak appears to turn into Golden colour. The sun rises from the horizon and the view is mesmerising.
"I want to stroll around a little," Abhi told Manav after returning from Tiger Hill.
"Abhi, I am feeling sleepy. Please will you go unaccompanied? Or better we can go after a stretch."Manav yawned.
"You go and doze off. I will go alone." Abhi patted his back and went for a stroll.
Abhi trekked around and all of a sudden he reached the same cliff from where Raj had fallen. As soon as he stands there for some time an intense pain shoots his head, all the things seem to blur around him, he feels dizzy and falls with a thud.
