The early morning road of Bhopal was in a bustle as it was well aware of the return of its King,THE RUDRAKSHA SINGH RAJVANSH after 4 whole years.Tge name itself held such power which could make people fall on their knees in seconds.For outsiders he was the corporate king or you say one of the most richest buisness tycoons in India.While the people who actually knew his truth, used to think twice before even taking his name because who in the world would dare to poke The Mafia King Rudraksha Singh Rajvansh and call his death?.
This handsome hunk always used to hold up his head with pride as after lots of hardwork he finally created his own empire where no one dared to call him orphan. A 28 years old man with chiseled body to die for with 8 pack abes,well maintained slightly trimmed beard with sharp eyes.His 6'2 inch height was a cherry on top.
The cars were rushing at full speed on the empty roads of Bhopal early in morning because as the Sun gets overhead,the streets and roads become busier with hustle bustle which was not liked at all by both the Rajvansh brothers.Eventhough the outer atmosphere of the car seemed pretty pleasant but the inner atmosphere of car was complete opposite.
The driver was sweating badly even though the AC was at lowest temperature still the aura of the person sitting behind was enough to make anyone shiver.Meanwhile the passenger seat was taken by our Ansh Singh Rajvansh, the handsome, enthusiastic man but his cheerful nature shouldn't be mistaken by anyone as he was equally dangerous as his bestfriend sitting at back.He knew it very well when to put on his MAFIA BOSS character and when to become the little brother of his friend as he was a year younger than Rudra.
However our fun-loving boy was utterly annoyed due to two reasons.First Rudraksha had forcefully pulled Ansh up from his beautiful dreamland where he was waiting for his dreamgirl that too when even the sun was reluctant to rise.And second the man sitting a back was taking puffs of smoke one after another since when they started their journey making the air in car unbreathable.
"Yaar, Rudra bass kar na pura car dhua dhua hogya hai"
(Rudra,please stop it now see the whole car is filled with smoke now)
spoke Ansh without getting scared or something while scrunching his nos e knowing very well that no matter what happens Rudra always seemed to care for him like an elder brother even though he continues his stupidity.Ansh knew that even if Rudra scolds him or tries to intimidate him,he won't ever think to hurt Ansh's feelings.
"Tujhe itni takleef horahi hai to windows khol le na Mera dimaag kyun kharab kar raha hai?" Growled Rudraksha scornfully taking out another cigar.
(If you have so much problem then open the windows...why the hell are you eating my brain?)
Ansh was about to retort back but one glare from Rudraksha made him shut his mouth not before making a pout.
"Battak kahika" Rudra muttered chuckling to himself at Ansh's antics.(Duck face)
After 2 hours.
Finally they reached their Manshion.The guards opened the gate while other guards bowed their heads as they see the approach of their kings.One was like Hungry Lion King ready to hunt down anyone with his single gaze while other one was like silence before the storm as no one knows when he erupts.
Both men walked inside emphasising the power they held and had utter acknowledgement of their impact on others.
Soon they were welcomed by Ravi kaka,the head helper of the Rajvansh manshion.They touched Ravi kaka's feet showing no matter how great you become but you should always respect the elders.As soon as they straightened themselves Ravi kaka did their aarti as they returned after so many years.
"Beta for how many days are you planning to stay here this time?"asked Kaka to both of them.
"Kaka we are shifting our buisness here in Bhopal only and we will handle all other works from her only so we are back permanently" Ansh replied enthusiastically as he was like a home-sick child and loved this place as it's the same one where he grew up and most importantly met Rudraksha whom is his only family.
Rudraksha the always quiet one was just nodding with a simple smile.
"Come let me serve your food as Ansh baba already informed that you both left for Bhopal without having anything.."Kaka moved towards kitchen saying this.
While Rudraksha turned towards Ansh shocked and was giving him a glare while Ansh was just making an innocent puppy face to which he earned a slight punch on his stomach by Rudra.
"What yaar Rudra,now what did I do?"spoke Ansh whining like a baby.
"You literally ate my share of breakfast too and after that also you said to kaka that you are empty stomach?"said Rudraksha with glaring eyes.
"Haan to mere chhote se pet ko bhook lagta hai bhai"said Ansh dramatically rubbing his stomach.
(Yes that's because my little stomach gets hungry na)
"Chhota sa pet nahi pura ka pura black hole hai kutte"Rudra slapped his head before leaving our poor Ansh who was cursing Rudra behind his back because if he did so in front of him then he knew that he would recieve a kick this time.
(It's not a little stomach stupid,you have a black hole instead).
Few moments later,Rudra headed downstairs and walked towards dining area after freshening himself only to find Ansh still has not changed yet and was stuffing his mouth with food like a zombie while Kaka was serving him happily.Rudra shook his head as he knew that Ansh is still like a kid and would always be to him no matter how old he gets.
Rudra sat on his head chair while Kaka came towards him to serve the food while saying..."Rudraksha beta,I guess now it's time for you to bring us a daughter in law isn't it?"
Rudra coughed at the sudden arising topic but later calmed himself down.Ansh gave him a teasing look before saying
"yes yaar bhai,even I want a beautiful sister-in-law".
Rudra threw a fork towards Ansh and said,
"Love is not written in my destiny but maybe someone....." He didn't complete his sentence as he was drifted to flashback.
FLASHBACK:-
I was standing near the bridge as chilled wind was touching my face giving me a sense of peace which was extremely rare in my lifestyle.I remembered how I used to have a complete happy family filled with laughter and joy but one day due to my stubbornness I lost my entire family.I lost my maa,baba and even didi who used to fulfill my every demand now left me alone in this cruel world.
since then I feel myself as a hollow human,a complete dead soul who is just breathing.Due to my one mistake I lost my entire world.
I left the hope of living long ago but I have to as I don't want to upset my late parents by being a coward and taking away the life and hardship they went through to bring me into this world.
Love is not made for me as the people who used to love me are now no more because of me.I am the reason of their death thus I am bearing the load of pain.I don't want anyone else to be put in danger just because I love them or they loves me.That is why I never took interest in all these drama and became heartless and cold.
As I was thinking all these I noticed a small, petite slender figure climbing up the bridge railings.As I took few steps nearer a sudden realisation took over me.
That little girl was about to jump from there.
SHE WAS TRYING TO ATTEMPT SUICIDE?
I quickly took long strides and just as she was about to jump I pulled her forcefully by her waist but I myself lost balance and we both fell on the ground with her over me.I never cared about anyone except for Ansh but don't know why I felt a sudden pull towards this little figure over me.
I was about to shout at her because of her stupid act but the next thing that happened left me enchanted.
A strong gush of wind blew away the hairs from her face giving me a clearer view.She had for brown eyes which were red and puffy,soft wavy hair,pouty juicy kissable lips, chubby cheeks and cute sharp nose making her look like an angel.And with her having in my arms felt like I was holding a baby as she was so soft and a perfect fit in my embrace.
As I was lost in her I felt her poking my chest.
I quickly came out of the trance and got up with her and moved a little away not wanting to make her uncomfortable but still holding her small hands as I felt a warmth in them after so many years.I looked at her and guessed that she might be 16-17 years old.Wait WTF!!!
"GET A GRIP ON YOURSELF RUDRA, SHE IS A CHILD" I scolded myself mentally.
As I was busy talking to myself I felt her shaking my hand a little which was holding her making me return back to reality.
I was about to speak but she cut me off by saying something more like mumbling.She is the first person who cut me off.Not even Ansh dared to do so in all these years but she just simply cut me off by her kitten like mumbling?
I leaned towards her and asked "what did you just say?"
To which she replied in her soft kitten like voice making me shocked,
"you shouldn't have saved me,why can't this world even let me die peacefully."
I suddenly felt a rush of anger go through me.How can my Angel think of ending her life? "Wait my Angel?"I shook my head and held her shoulders firmly but gentle enough not to hurt her.
"Do you even listen to yourself? You are barely even 20...and if you have so much courage to die then gather a little more courage to live.
I said all this in a rough and firm tone but does this baby in front of me understood anything?God knows.....because this angel looking girl was busy staring at my wrist.
"You have a cut........ because of m-me"
she mumbled again but I heard it clearly.I could see how her eyes which were already red and puffy get more teary making me melt.I held her cheeks and caressed them gently with the pad of my thumb feeling her softness while she also leaned towards my touch making my heart jump in joy.I don't know why but I could feel the sadness in her eyes and same hollowness which I held.Suddenly my heart clenched at the unknown feeling as I wanted to take away whatever pain she was going through.
She removed her dupatta from her shoulders and gently tied it around my wrist covering the cut I got when we both fell on ground while I was just looking at her carefully taking each and every steps.She had such an innocence in her eyes...the eyes which has hundreds of stories to share but no one to listen.
I don't know how I could understand her like open book but I had an urge to protect her and give her everything to make her smile.
She was lonely just like me.As I was thinking all these,she looked up and spoke in her tiny honey like voice,
"Thank you and I will live....for you!"
My heartbeat turned into rapid fire as I bent towards her and looked into her eyes directly to ask,
"For me?"
"Yes for you because you saved me means you gave me another life"she replied innocently but she doesn't know how her simple sentence made a part of me alive.
"I will also live for you.....MY PUCHKU"
I promised in my mind not knowing she was gonna turn into my lifeline someday.
As I kept staring at her engraving her every details point wise my eyes travelled down when I noticed her bare chest.As she has tied her dupatta around my wrist so I could now see her looking so beautiful in her Red blouse and blue lehenga showing off her cute little chubby waist and her small breasts which were in their growing phase.
I shook my head and smiled a little at her as I removed my jacket and made her wear it to keep her warm and protect her from evil eyes.
She was looking at me innocently confused so I bent down to her level and whispered "don't removed it until you get home... people have bad eyes for an innocent Angel like you"
She nodded like a little puppy and she signed me to bent down to her level making me confused but I did so but what she did next made me freeze.
She tip toed and kissed my cheek softly and quickly backed off giving me an innocent smile.I was looking at her frozen at my place but soon I understood that it was her way of thanking me.
She was innocently smiling at me but suddenly she saw something behind my back and ran....
Wait she actually ran away??
She ran like she was scared......dead scared of something or someone maybe? I was about to follow her but she was fast enough that I lost her sight.
That day they were not just two simple people who just met and went to two different ways.They didn't know that even though their bodies went separate ways yet their souls remained interconnected.Soon these two strangers were about to become one.These two strangers were about to become each other's destiny.These two strangers were about to become each other's world.......
FLASHBACK ENDS
It's been 4 years since I met my Puchku.That was the best day of my not so fun-filled life.I still have her dupatta.I don't know why but I want to live for her.I want to make her my excuse of living my life to fullest.Yes the person who was just like a dead soul now wanted to actually live for someone.
As kaka mentioned about marriage,my mind was drifted to her only.
I don't know if this is love or not because I stopped feeling things long ago but I know one thing very well that I could give my life for her.
My chain of thaughts were broken when I felt someone placed their hand on my shoulder.I didn't have to look behind as I know who this person was.My Ansh...
My brother,my bestfriend and the only family I have.Actually no.There is another person living with us whom I want to call my family.And it is none other than my puchku.
Yes! I know she is not with me but I feel that somewhere she is Waiting for me just like I am waiting for her.
Meanwhile Ansh gave me an understanding look as he already knew about her as I can't ever hide secrets from him as.So after a while he suggested that I should take rest which I really needed.
I know he said it more like for himself as I woke him up early in the morning he wanted to complete his sleep but I also knew that somewhere he was also worried about me so wanted me to relax while silently offering his support.
I nodded as we both left for our respective rooms to get a nap as we had some work in evening as well so resting for now was a perfect idea to keep ourselves recharged.
Rudraksha settled on his bed and soon fell asleep not kn
owing that it was going to come in his life and this would be probably his last lonely sleep as a tornado was about to turn his world upside down......
