33.

Ketki

I stepped into an abandoned house, it was burned and scary just like they show in movies, I clutched Rudra's hand tightly.

"You sure you wanna come in?" Rudra asked me to which I nodded.

Yes, I was scared of blood and shit but that man had ruined many lives I wanted to see his downfall with my own eyes. If not because of him my Aai would have been with us.

As soon as we reached in I was engulfed in a warm hug. I missed it, it was my baba behind him standing dada.

"How are you? bache did he hurt you?" my baba asked worry itched on his face. Sure he had distanced himself from both of us after Aai death we knew he loved us and cared for us.

"No, I hurt him... I sprayed pepper spray right into his eyes" I spoke proudly to loosen up a bit.

My Baba smiled and patted my head. "My strong daughter"

My gaze fell on Dada who stood there. He still thinks I am mad at him but in reality, I have forgiven him. It was not his fault. I walked to him.

I wrapped my hands around him hugging him, he was taken aback and I patted his back.

"It's okay dada... it's not your fault" Maybe he was waiting to hear these words from me, he hugged me back I knew he was crying.

He has suffered the most, I know how it feels, I was guilt-ridden just like him. He was blamed for everything. He lost Aai, his love whom he promised forever.

I never saw Dada smile like before. I wish Dada you'll be happy again free of all pain.

He pulled back and wiped his tears, "No more crying hm" he nodded.

His gaze fell on Kartik who was tied to a chair, his jaw clenched.

"Stay here me and Rudra will deal with him" Dada pats my head and walks towards Kartik with Rudra following him.

Rudra grabbed his jaw, and Kartik winched in pain due to Zayn's punches he was already hurt. Dada grabbed Kartik's hair, "You are gonna pay for your sins" Dada's voice was ice cold.

I was not sure what was gonna happen here but it won't be anything good. I doubted I would be able to see anything so I asked Sahil to drop me to the car.

He helped me sit in the car and stood outside guarding the car. Without any time I could hear painful screams. They were unbearable for anyone to hear.

Hours passed yet the screams didn't die down, they continued, and I saw aryan walking towards the car.

"Mam Sir is calling you in" he opened the car door for me.

I got out of the car and followed Aryan in. The scene in front of me sent shivers through my spine.

Kartik was bearly alive, his hands were bloody, his nose broken he was hardly able to keep his eyes open.

Rudra grabbed his hair "You remember this place... you ruined my family at this same place"

This place was Rudra's old house which Kartik destroyed. I should have been scared or felt nauseated but instead, I felt nothing. I felt like he deserved it.

Baba stood beside me, he held my hand. "Your time is Up Kartik, you have lived enough now it's time for you to meet your doom"

Rudra let go of his hair, and his gaze fell on me. Rudra after wiping his hands walked to him.

"Do you want to take his eyes off? Just like he did with you?" Rudra asked, I looked at his lifeless form and then back at rudra.

I shook my head, "he is already dead enough... I don't want his blood on my hands... he simply doesn't deserve it not even my punishment"

For once after knowing what he did I wanted to destroy his eyes as he did to mine, but in the end, I didn't. I didn't want to even look at him, I didn't want to acknowledge him. That's his punishment all his life he wanted me to look at him to be his he simply wanted to be acknowledged my me.

He smiled holding my hand as we walked out of the abandoned house. Soon dada, Devansh Zayn, and Baba walked out.

Rudra looked at his wristwatch, "it's time" time? Time for what?

Devansh: "5"

Zayn: "4"

Aryan: "3"

Samarth: "2"

Rudra: "1"

Rudra smirked "Game Over"

Just then a huge blast happened, I hid my face in Rudra's chest and he wrapped his hands around my shoulder.

While Rudra Just watched the house which was now burning in flames. The flame reflected in his eyes, his eyes were cold like ice.

I don't know how long but they all watched the house burning, all these years of pain sorrow, and vengeance were clear in their eyes. Will they get peace now? Will they be able to let go of their pain? Will my rudra be able to let go of his pain?

My gaze went to the burning house, was this the justice my Aai deserved? Was this justice Rudra's parents deserved? Was this the justice Kavya di deserved? Maybe it does i held Rudra's hand tightly as we saw that house fully destroyed with that house Kartik his deeds his crimes all were gone.

I drew patterns on Rudra's knuckles with my thumb, his eyes were moist I knew he wanted to cry. I wrapped my arms around his torso and patted his back, "Let it out"

With no time I felt wetness on my shoulder, he rubbed his back, and he tightened his grip around me. "I avenged them... chashni will their soul rest in peace?" he spoke between his tears.

I nodded, and he buried his face in my hair. Devansh and Zayn were teary too, they had been with rudra forever they knew what this meant to him. Rudra stopped crying yet didn't let go of me.

Zayn wiped his tears clearing his throat he spoke, "Ayaya these flames are too bright everyone's tearing up" his voice choked up, he was trying not to cry.

"Uff my eyes are burning," He said dramatically fanning his eyes.

"Yeah right my eyes are burning too" I spoke wiping my eyes, "let's go from here" I looked at rudra "Shall we?"

He nodded and opened the car door for me, he talked to Zayn and Devansh about something biding they bye he got into the car. Aryan started driving, he held my hand tightly.

I leaned onto his chest, now there was no fear, no vengeance everything was over. We were gonna have our happily ever after. He kissed my nose bridge gaining a giggle from me. Exact that moment my stomach growled,

Yeh right dear stomach you have to embarrass me at this right moment.

"Aryan take us to our restaurant" rudra instructed aryan, i hid my face in his chest while he played with my hair.

We reached the restaurant, rudra got out of the car and held out his hand for me to hold. I held his hand and got out of the car.

It was the same restaurant where we met for our marriage meeting, sure I didn't see the restaurant but I knew the name. This was his restaurant something he loved.

A waitress led us to a private room, and we both got settled down, "so what will you have chashni?"

"saoji chicken" I knew he couldn't eat spicy food, so I was just joking, but the moment he ordered saoji chicken knowing he cant handle it.

"No wait... you can't eat spicy food" I stopped the waitress from confirming the order, "butter chicken and garlic naan" I gave her another order, and the waitress left.

I looked at him, "Why did you order saoji?"

He smiled and held my hand, "you said you wanna have Saoji chicken so I ordered it"

"Even when you know you can't handle spicy food" he kissed my knuckle,

"As long as there's this smile on your face I'm ready to do anything" My heart skipped a beat, this man never fails to give me butterflies.

"Then if you want this smile on my face let me know whenever you are hurting whenever you are in pain let me know so ill kiss your tears away"

He smiled, and as our food arrived we both enjoyed our food, everything felt better, and everything felt happy.

After our dinner, we went to eat kulfi, who would miss a kulfi? As usual, rudra didn't eat but as usual, I forced him to eat which he did he couldn't resist my puppy eyes. Hu,h only they can give me puppy eyes? I can give them puppy eyes too.

Tired we went back home, it was a tiring night yet we were contained, I hope the next morning comes with a new start a new life. A fresh new start with me my rudra and my family leading towards our happily ever after.
