Rudra was sitting in his office cabin on his leather seat , drumming his fingers rhythmically on the mahogany desk . He was lost in his thoughts until a young man who was a bit younger than him came humming a song like a lovesick man .
" Chalte chalte yu hi ruk jata hu main "
" Baithe baithe kahi kho jata hu main "
" Kahte kahte hi chup ho jata hu main"
" Kya yahi pyar h ? "
Rudra sighed in disbelief " Shut up for God's sake , Siddharth ! "
Siddharth pouted at his words " Don't be like that , Rudraaaaa... I'm in love ."
" Congratulations , now shut up ." Rudra said sternly , regretting in his mind that this man in front of him is his best friend .
Siddharth sat on the couch and laid down on it only to get a shoe thrown on him . He hissed in pain " What ? " Rudra rolled his eyes " Get up ! " Siddharth straightened himself and said in a playful tone " Ohhh rudruuu , don't be like that ... You are no fun , you know .. Just listen to me , pleaseee..." He looked at rudra while tilting his head and blinking his eyes like an innocent child . Rudra scoffed in amusement " Speak up ."
Siddharth smiled as he cleared his throat like he was going to start an important topic . " When I called you earlier , that time I informed you that I am going to the Jawaharlal Nehru University ? "
Rudra nodded his head in agreement " Yeah , so ? "
Siddharth then took a dramatic pause and then said in a hushed tone " When I was walking outside of the college , I bumped into her . Her mesmerising eyes met mine . She was a masterpiece of God . Seriously I think her parents should be so proud while looking at her ."
Rudra raised an eyebrow as he took a glass of water and started to sip on it " Is that so ? What's her age ? "
Siddharth smiled slyly " She is a college student ."
Rudra spit out the water which he was drinking after listening to Siddharth " Buddhe , ek nabalik bacchi h woh ! "
Siddharth blinked twice as he spoke up " What.. nabalik ? Pagal h kya tu ? She is 20 , I think ? "
Rudra looked at him in disbelief " Or tu , 30 ka h ! Mere liya toh voh nabalik hui .. "
Siddharth rolled his eyes as he let a laugh , " Arey re... My bestie... I don't care , she is mine now." Siddharth eyes narrowed with a hint of possessiveness and obsession .
Rudra sighed as he shook his head knowing that his best friend is now too determined to make that girl his . " Good luck ."
Siddharth then chuckled a bit but then he stopped and suddenly stood up and started to approach Rudra with a serious look on his face .
" What ? " Rudra spoke up but then Siddharth jumped on Rudra , punching him on his back " You ..chutiye ! You got married and you didn't tell me .. and that girl is also 7 years younger than you . Mere liye bhi woh nabalik h then ! "
Rudra's patience was always thin , and he snapped , pushing Siddharth back and punching him on the stomach " Chup reh ! And how do you know i got married ? "
Siddharth stumbled back as he wrapped his arms around his stomach , hissing in pain " Bastard .." Then he straightened up himself and flipped his imaginary hair " Well , the news about you being married to Tara Singhania is always over the underworld . You can say that this is the hot topic right now ."
Rudra eyes narrowed dangerously , " And who spread this news ? "
" Bhabhi , herself ." Siddharth spoke up
" Bhabhi ? Kiski bhabhi , konsi bhabhi ? "
" Teri patni , reee..."
Rudra sighed as he stood up , adjusting his expensive dior suit . " Don't ever call her , bhabhi ..." Before Siddharth could spoke anything , Rudra walked off the office . " Why did she do that ? " Rudra thought that in his mind , his thoughts were interrupted by his secretary Aakash calling out to him. " Boss ! Turn on the TV ! "
Rudra raised an eyebrow " What ? But why ? "
Aakash was panicking as he spoke up in a hoarse tone " Just do it , boss.. you will find out ."
Seeing his usually calm and composed secretary panicking , Rudra could see that it's an important matter or something else is about to happen. He walked to a desk and took the remote and turn on the tv .
And his eyes widened as he looked on the tv , Tara was there in a live conference . Rudra knew Tara was a business woman but something felt off .
Tara was wearing a business suit , her long black hair were falling on her face , making her look more beautiful than usual . Rudra gulped a little seeing her like that but then he shook his head .
Tara spoke up in her warm yet commanding tone " Thank you everyone who have come here . I have held this live conference to reveal something . "
Tara paused letting her words sink in the mind of the audience and media . Then she spoke up with a slight smirk on her face " I am here to reveal that yesterday , Me , Tara Vanshraj Singhania got married to Mr Rudra Avantika Pratap Singh ."
The media fell silent and then the question started to raise one by one . The camera started flicking more than ever . Tara walked away after revealing this without answering the curious questions of the media .
Rudra veins started to pop out of his head as anger started to boil in him . His blood started to boil as he clenched his teeth tightly . If he had clenched more tight than his teeth would turn into dust .
Aakash swallowed nervously seeing his boss , he knew rudra anger was something that something couldn't provoke , but now his own wife has provoked it .
" Aakash .." Rudra said in a low hush tone .
" Y-yes , boss ? "Aakash said while stuttering .
" I'm going home , inform Siddharth to handle the meeting himself ."
Aakash nodded nervously as Rudra walked away .
His eyes were darkened indicating his anger is reaching its final point .
RUDRA'S POV
As soon as I entered the house , I was greeted with Radha figure cleaning the table .
She looked at him and bowed to me .
" Rana - sa ... You cam-"
I cut her off as soon as she started to speak
" Where's Vishaka ? "
Radha tilted her head in confusion
" V-vishaka ? "
I blinked twice , then I sighed , I forgot her name
" I mean ...Tara."
Radha sighed
" She is not here , she left the house early morning . "
I ran a hand through my hair , as i clenched my teeth
" Fuck.." i muttered inside my breath .
" Umm Rana-sa , something happened ? "
I looked at her as I approached her and ruffled her hair
" Nothing baccha , nothing ... Just do your work ."
Radha smiled at me and nodded and continued to do his work .
Radha is just like my little sister , after losing my real sister . I found Aashi in her . That's why even she is a maid's daughter , she is my sister and I am taking care of her .
Then , my phone started to vibrate in my pocket . I signed in Annoyance and took out my phone but my eyes widened in surprise and shock as soon I saw the contact's name . I gulped , taking a deep breath to control myself .
My hands started to tremble . This name ....is a nightmare to me .
I picked up the phone and cleared my throat and spoke up in a cold tone
" Han ? "
A deep cold voice shouted from the another line making me flinch .
" Rudra ! What the heck am i seeing on the tv ? "
I swallowed
" Yeah , I married her .."
" What about Kajal then ? "
" Cancel that marriage , dad ."
I spoke up in a determined tone .
Dad , no , Yash Pratap Singh , remained silent for a while and then spoke up in a commanding tone
" Come.to.jaipur. with your wife until tomorrow ."
His voice left no room for argument .
I sighed as I rubbed my forehead to ease the pain forming on it .
I nodded
" Hanji .."
I cut the call instantly, I didn't want to hear his scolding .
No way . I closed my eyes as the worst memories started to flood in my mind .
FLASHBACK
" You ungrateful child of mine , still crying over that damn woman's death ! " Yash grabbed Rudra's hair harshly and yanked it back .
Rudra was only 8 years old that time ..
A woman standing beside Yash was smiling sinisterly making Rudra's blood boil .
She feigned fake innocence
" Yash...don't beat your child . It's my fault , that I can't take place of Avantika ."
Yash cupped her cheeks and shook his head as no
" No , no , Ragini . It's not your fault . It's his fault . "
Rudra was seeing all this , his tears were rolling down his cheeks .
" Pa.."
He muttered while shaking violently .
Yash eyes darkened
" Don't you dare call me pa , rudra ! "
He kicked rudra and slapped him five times .
Rudra's condition was terrible . His soft lips were bleeding .
Bruises and injuries were all over his body . That small fragile soft body was covered in blood .
Ragini stopped yash as she dragged him away while acting like she is the victim .
But then she turned around to see rudra with a cruel smile .
She waved her hand as goodbye .
Rudra slumped into the wall . He was crying terribly . He muttered between his sobs
" Ma..aashi.. p-please come back.. please... I want you..both.."
