Chapter 34: Chapter 34

"In life, the only thing that you can expect is the unexpected; the only surprise is a day that has none."

"Dad, I am extremely excited to finally meet Bhabhi (Sister-in-law), Bhaiya (brother), and my cute niece and nephew after so many years," Payal chirped in a happy tone.

Finally, they were going to reach Ayushi's house whose address was already known to Dhiraj and they were currently in their car along with Pratibha and Dadi as well.

"By Lord Krishna's grace, we have found our children again," Dadi's voice trembled, she was emotional right now, waiting for the time when they would reach their house.

"Yes, Mama, I have been searching for them for the past two years but recently found them and today only our Dhruv too had been found out. I cannot thank the almighty enough for this," Dhiraj spoke out in a solemn tone.

"Talking about Dhruv, Ayushi had forgiven him?" Dadi asked Dhiraj in a serious tone.

"I think yes, rest we will get to know once we reach there," it was eight in the evening, and already all the shops of Mussoorie were closed as people there used to sleep early.

"I cannot see any person out here, Mountain life," Pratibha spoke out after observing her surroundings.

"Yeah, people here sleep early and even wake up early," Dhiraj answered and told the driver to drive a little fast.

They had taken their private jet from Bhopal to Dehradun and finally, they were inside their Mercedes which had been sent by one of their managers as they had a hotel over there in Dehradun.

After a ride of an hour and a half, finally, they were in front of Ayushi's house whose address was sent by none other than Karan, Dhiraj's investigator.

"Hahaha, daddy you cannot catch me," little Aranya's voice echoed inside their house as the kids and Dhruv were busy playing Pakdam Pakdai, a running and touching game where the one who gives dyne has to touch other players. It was Dhruv who was giving the dyne currently and deliberately he was running slow so that he could match his daughter's pace.

"Daddy, catch me, catch me," Agastya too cheered for his Dad to catch him.

"You two are so fast, I cannot even catch you two," he huffed and sat on the sofa with fake anger.

The kids started laughing so loudly seeing their Daddy's grumpy face.

"Wait, I will ask Mumma to give you milk as milk makes us strong, right Agastya?" Aranya just like an old granny recommended and went towards the kitchen with her baby steps.

"Who gives her so much brain?" Agastya looked clueless at his father and both laughed out loud.

Whereas Ayushi and Alka were busy making dinner for their family, discussing their personal lives with each other.

"Di, so now you all will go to Bhopal?" Alka was serious now while kneading the dough.

"I do not know Alka, maybe yes. But do not worry, you will come with us as well," Ayushi was like an elder sister to Alka and loved her like that only.

"Mumma, Mumma, give us chocolate milk and to Papa too, he gets tired so easily," Aranya spoke out in her baby voice while pulling her mother's scarf, asking for her mother's attention which was on cutting the onions right now.

Unlike other kids, fortunately, Ayushi's kids loved milk and they didn't throw tantrums when it came to drinking milk, in fact, they loved chocolate milk.

"Wait then baby, I will make it in a minute. Go and play outside otherwise, you will create a mess here," Ayushi washed her hands and gently pushed Aranya outside the kitchen as she knew how much mess she could create in a few seconds.

"Daddy, Mumma never lets me help her in the kitchen," Aranya, the drama queen, was on the verge of crying because she wanted to play with the dough that Alka had already kneaded. The dough was her weakness, she could make balls with them, then make small chapatis with them using both her baby hands or would just throw them at her mother and brother thinking of it as some game of her own.

Dhruv sighed at his daughter and smiled at her adorable pout. He took her in his arms and tried to divert her attention towards the new game that they were soon going to play.

"You know Papa, she is crying because she wants to play with the dough, right sissy?" Agastya pinched her cheeks lightly, irritating her more.

"No Agastya, don't tease my daughter," Dhruv tried not to laugh but a small smile broke out on his lips.

"Let's play Hide & Seek," Dhruv suggested and finally Aranya's mood lifted.

"So, I'll count till ten, you both hide, okay?" Dhruv was again the one to give dyne. Both the kids immediately ran away towards a good place to hide themselves properly.

Aranya ran out of the house and hid near one of the pillars, outside the house and started giggling, as she could see how easily Agastya was found out by her Daddy.

"Hahaha, Agastya is so silly, he hid behind that sofa, but Daddy can never find me," she giggled more after placing her small baby hand on her mouth.

But she couldn't laugh more, as an unknown put his hand on her shoulder and all her laugh washed away. She was afraid, it would be an understatement.

"So, sir as you can see all the escorts' faces, which one would you like to choose?" Chandani had become very professional in dealing with top-notch businessmen as well as politicians, in the trafficking of girls. She even exported these girls to Arab countries and other western countries. And not for once she ever felt guilty, as she knew that this business is the only business that could give her this much profit, also this was the thing that she had seen and learned from childhood only and no other. She was a professional 'Human trafficking dealer' now, taking her father's 'cheap legacy' to a new height.

"My boss has still not arrived yet. He'll choose his girl, I just came here before him as he had some meeting," the P.A. of some CEO of some company replied in a business tone.

Chandani nodded her head and asked him to sit down on the exquisite chairs in front of which those girls were standing in skimpy clothes, trying to lure the P.A. with their dirty antics and stares but he just took out his smartphone and got immersed in it.

Chandani adjusted her ten thousand dollars dress which she had bought from Italy as last month only, she had gone for her first lavish foreign trip with her family and from there only bought many expensive dresses whose price was paid by the virtue of many innocent girls. Then the P.A. got the call of his boss and excused himself to a corner.

"Yes sir, I will tell her," the PA nodded his head in affirmation and cut the call.

"My boss is saying that he wants to meet you, alone. He is just at the corner of this street, come I will take you to him," his voice was confident, although from within he was contemplating whether she would say yes or no.

Chandani knew how big cheese this party was! She immediately nodded her head and went behind the PA whom she thought was quite handsome.

"Here he is," the PA showed his boss' car and Chandani immediately took a long breath, seeing the man who was behind the wheels. What an eye-candy he was for her eyes! So smart and sexy!

The place was deserted so it was safe now for the CEO to exit out from the safety of his expensive car.

He ordered his PA to go back to his home and now he was alone with Chandani on the deserted road of Kolkata, from a distance of hundred meters from Chandani's empire where she kept all her escorts for supplying them to various dealers.

"You wanted to meet me," Chandani got a little near him, trying to touch his shoulder but he dodged that.

"Yes, I wanted to meet you. By the way, do you know my name?" the CEO asked her in a solemn tone, adjusting his expensive blazer.

"Umm, no," Chandani replied, hypnotized by his mesmerizing eyes. This was the first time when a man had such an effect on her.

"Well, I am Kunal Oberoi, CEO of Oberoi resorts and hotels," he introduced himself boastfully.

"And I am Chandani Thakur," she took her hand out, for a handshake but Kunal ignored her and smiled bitterly at her.

"The CEO of the biggest prostitution business of India, isn't it?" he mocked her bitterly and Chandani's face was worth watching.

"It's not prostitution, I just send escorts to parties and to some businessmen like you who are so desperate, so to quench your thirst, somebody has to do something, right? That's what I do," Chandani smirked at him and tried to touch his hands but again Kunal was able to dodge that.

"By the way, why did you want to meet me?" Chandani asked him, now in a professional tone.

"Umm, actually I love you, and I just came here to take you out for some dinner or something," Kunal scratched his head and smiled at her awkwardly.

"Ohoo! So, is someone in love with me? Then why were you ignoring my touches earlier?" Chandani was amazed that this man was here just for her, someone for the first time had proposed to her.

"Because I want to start it slow, also before committing to each other we should know about each other, right?" Kunal was smart enough to reply slowly. Chandani smiled at his genuineness. For the first time, some man wanted to know her, before touching her voluptuous body. This thing touched her.

"You are right, we should know each other, before committing to each other," Chandani replied in a happy tone, for the first time in her lifetime, she was attracted to some man, because earlier all her attention used to be on the revenge and later on handling the business, but now she had got a good man and now she had to stick with him because she knew this was her soulmate, the way she was getting the vibes around him.

"So, how did you come to know about me?" Chandani asked the first question which came to her mind.

"I had seen you at a party, remember when there was the wedding of our Chief Minister's son. You had come there wearing a peach-coloured lehenga and how beautiful you looked," Kunal gave her a dreamy look and Chandani was all smiling.

It feels really good when someone whom you love, loves you back. Chandani was feeling the same thing.

"But how come I did not notice you?" she asked him, trying hard to remember if she saw him there at that party.

"There were so many men around, how you would have noticed me. I noticed you because you were the girl who had caught my eyes since the time you had arrived so late in that party," Kunal laughed lightly at the end, remembering that day.

"Why were you late?" Kunal asked her, after noticing the crimson red blush that was on her cheeks now.

"I had some business," Chandani tried to evade that question, not matching her eyes with him.

"You can tell me, you know. Oh! I forgot! I got these ancestral bangles for you. Even my mother loved you, just that she doesn't like your profession but do not worry, I will make her ready," Kunal smiled brightly at her after giving those beautiful bangles to Chandani. Chandani was amazed it would be an understatement.

"These are so beautiful," she cried in happiness.

"Actually, I want to make you my wife, but first I want to know you as a person," Kunal held her hands in his and looked at her with so much of sincerity in his eyes.

"Thank you for this, they are so beautiful," Chandani hugged him because, for the first time, some guy had gifted her something so beautiful, so pure. She might be the dealer of girls, but she had not even lost her virginity. Men touched her but she never bedded any man. Now her hormones were at the peak, the love was erupting within her for the man in front of her who was looking so sincerely and lovingly at her.

"So, tell me, where were you?" Kunal was still hugging her, and caressing her tresses, softly. Chandani was feeling solace, peacefulness in his arms. She had never felt so ecstatic as she was currently. This was for sure 'Love at first sight' for her and for 'him' as well.

"I was on the Kolkata seaport, sending twenty girls to the Maldives, as they needed few Indian girls to cater in one of the biggest Spa and Sex centre of Maldives," Chandani replied, caressing those golden bangles which Kunal had given to her.

"Ohh," Kunal became quite uncomfortable but he didn't try to show it.

"So, let's go for a long drive, would you like to come?" Kunal asked her, smiling at her brightly.

"Kunal, actually my Dad has organized a small get-together so I don't think I would be able to come today, but tomorrow, next morning for sure, what to say?" she asked him in a pleading tone.

"Sure, I will pick you up at ten then, be ready," Kunal hugged and winked at her and went away towards his destination in his car, leaving the now love-sick bitch behind.

"I am in so much love with this man," she whispered to herself and got inside her mansion which was just next to her "Girls house", humming the "Pehla Nasha" song.
