Chapter 57: Chapter 57
Author's pov
Today is Holi( a festival of colours) and Shivansh & his family members were celebrating Holi along with some of his relatives and friends.
Orni and her sons also came to celebrate the Holi. She didn't want to come because she was afraid of gatherings. To make her overcome the fear Shivansh brought her here. Moreover, Roman & Rion wanted to celebrate Holi with Neela. That's why he had to bring her here. Shivansh also invited Niyati & VR for Neela's sake.
VR and Niyati just reached Shivansh's house. Niyati ran inside the house in desperation because she couldn't wait to meet her daughter. VR decided to enter after parking the car.
There were a lot of cars in front of Shivansh's house. VR was wondering where to park his car when someone threw some colours on him. He turned behind with annoyance since he wanted Neela to put colour on his first. But, his annoyance vanished in the air after seeing two tiny humans standing in front of him.
" You must be Neela's Daddy, right?" Roman asked curiously.
VR asked amusingly," And, how do you guys know that?"
" Neela showed us your photo," Rion replied.
Bending down to their level VR asked smiling," And, you guys must be Roman & Rion. Neela's best friends."
They nodded their heads in the positive while VR was scanning their face carefully. They were looking so familiar to him. Their eyes, nose and lips are looking exactly like someone who he had lost already. He was feeling so weird looking at their faces. Definitely, they are cute just like Orni.
" They look like her!!" VR mumbled letting out a sigh.
VR's concentration on the kids was broken when he felt something wet over his shoulder. Turning his head at his shoulder an irritated sound left his mouth. He looked upward and found a crow sitting in the electric line. It just finished pooping in VR's shoulder. And, looking at VR's annoyed face, Roman & Rion started giggling.
" Such a bad bird, right?" VR said letting out an awkward chuckle and removed his Kurta. He had brought an extra kurta with him since it was the Holi festival.
On the other hand, Orni was searching for her little sons. It's been half an hour since they have gone outside with Neela to meet her Daddy. She got worried thinking why they haven't returned yet.
Orni was walking towards the main gate when someone blocked her path. She halted in her place and looked at the person with innocent eyes.
" Happy Holi, beautiful," Yash said rubbing a little bit of red colour over Orni's right cheek. His eyes roamed over her body and he licked his lips seductively.
Orni felt his touch creepy so she retreated and tried to ignore him. She felt that Yash isn't a good person.
She tried to ignore him when he asked bending a little to her level," Won't you wish me, beautiful?"
" I don't wish pigs," Orni replied and ran away from here hurriedly.
Yash felt insulted by her words and kicked a nearby tree very angrily. He gritted his teeth in anger and pulled his hair because of frustration.
" This bitch is the same like that Naina," Yash mumbled angrily.
Orni came out from the house and an affectionate smile appeared on her face looking at her sons. Both of them were standing in front of a car holding each other's hands.
Orni will just call them when she noticed that they aren't alone. They are actually talking with a man who was back facing her. She also noticed that the man was topless.
Her body started trembling uncontrollably, sweat beads started forming on her forehead and a terrified expression appeared on her face noticing the big viper tattoo over that man's back. His whole back was covered with the tattoo of a big vicious Viper. Some old memories flashed in front of her eyes and she felt dizzy.
She will just scream loudly but somehow she controlled herself putting one hand over her mouth. She hid herself behind a car and started crying silently.
She was still trembling with pure fear when she felt a little tug on her dress. She looked downwards and found that her children are here and they are looking at her with curious eyes.
" Mumma, what happened?" Roman asked curiously.
Rion asked holding her one hand," Mumma, why are you crying?"
Orni didn't reply anything to them. She just picked them up in her arms and ran inside the house hurriedly. Reaching a room she hid herself inside a big closet with her children.
" Mumma, what happened?"Roman & Rion asked in unison hugging her tightly.
Orni replied pressing her hands over their mouth," Shh.....Shh.......Don't talk. If he finds us then he will hurt us a lot."
***************************************
"Roman & Rion, can you tell Mumma with whom you were talking at the parking lot?" Orni asked her kids having a terrified expression on her face.
She was sitting on an easy chair holding her kids in her lap who were busy eating bananas. After the Holi celebration, she didn't leave Shivansh's farmhouse because she had a panic attack. Her mind is now completely stuck with the man whose backside was seen by her in the parking lot.
She doesn't remember anything about Ranvijay aka Vijendra but can never forget those horrible tortures which he had put on her. She removed a few strands of her hair from her shoulder and rubbed a scar. She shivered automatically feeling the rough skin.
Roman replied stuffing his whole face with the banana," He was Neela's daddy."
"Daddy!! I thought Shivansh bhai is Neela's father," Orni mumbled confusingly and thought to ask Shivansh about Neela's relationship with that man.
Orni is still thinking about that man when Rion said," Mumma, you know what that man looks like a Hulk."
" Really?" Orni asked when he continued," But, he is a nice man. He gave me a lot of candies and told me that he will buy kites for me."
Orni replied seriously," You aren't going to take anything from him until I take permission from bhai. Moreover, I forbade you to take anything from any stranger."
" Ok," Rion replied like an obedient child.
Orni is still talking with her kids when Yash entered the room. He gave a toothy smile to Orni which she returned with a glare. She just doesn't like his behaviour.
" It must be very difficult for you to raise two kids without their father's support, Hmm?" Yash asked sitting on the couch in front of Orni.
Orni asked suspiciously," Why are you becoming so interested in my life?"
" It's just sad to see someone so beautiful and young like you is alone. If you wan..........." He tried to sympathize her situation when she replied bluntly," I am not alone. My brother is with me and as per as I remember you are Shivansh bhai's brother means you are my brother too. So, Is it appropriate to do whatever you are trying to do with me?"
Yash said looking at her body shamelessly," But, I am not your real brother. I can take care of you more than a brother care for his sister."
Orni was going to yell at him when he continued," Don't you want a father for your kids?"
Saying that he tried to caress Rion's cheek when Rion bit his hand and said," Don't touch me. I don't like you."
" This brat," Yash mumbled hissing a little and stood up to teach a good lesson to Rion.
He raised his hand to strike Rion when Orni threatened," You don't want to go to jail, do you?"
" Bitch," Yash mumbled and started going towards the door while Orni just rolled her eyes.
Orni and her sons giggled when they heard Yash groaning in pain lying on the floor. He looked at them and they stopped their giggle immediately. Roman & Rion hugged their mother tightly looking at his scary eyes.
Well, Yash just slipped his leg on a banana peel. Actually, it was Roman who threw the peel on the floor and Yash didn't notice. He stepped his foot on it and slipped unexpectedly. He fell on his butt and hurt his lower region.
" Zayda dard to nehi huaa, bhaiyaa.........( Did it hurt a lot, brother)," Orni asked sarcastically exaggerating the word Bhaiya.
Yash just burned with pure anger and stood up rubbing his waist a little. He glared at Orni and stormed out of the room.
No sooner had Yash left the room than Orni told Roman," It's a bad manner to throw trash in the house."
" Why?"Roman asked innocently and continued," It's good that the bad uncle hurt himself."
Orni replied tidying his baby hairs with her hand," Instead of that uncle anyone could have slipped on the banana peel and hurt themselves. It could be your grandpa, Mama or Neela. Do you want them to get hurt?"
Roman nodded his head in the negative when Orni said," Promise me that you won't do something like that again."
" Ok, Mumma," Roman replied and Orni kissed his forehead.
It was nighttime and Orni was having dinner with her children. Shivansh and Satya were giving her company since the ladies of this house aren't interested in Orni at all. Yash wanted to have dinner but Shivansh didn't let him. Giving some work to Yash, he sent him to the office.
" Mumma, I don't want to eat anymore," Rion whined taking his face in another direction.
Orni said holding the food in front of his mouth," It's last."
Satya was noticing Orni with his scrutinising eyes and trying to remember where he saw her. Suddenly, a few incidents flashed in front of his eyes and his mouth got wide opened.
" She looks..........Yes.......she looks....like Srilekha," Satya whispered nervously while blinking his eyes.
He thought mentally," Is she Srilekha's daughter or I am overthinking? If she is Srilekha's daughter that means.............."
" This girl. .....can...... be my daughter!!!" Satya thought and the spoon fell from his hand to the ground.
