Kenny was so ashamed of her wanton abandon in the afternoon that she scrubbed and cleaned herself for hours.
" Shiva what came over me"!
" Kenny baby", Raj knocked the door.
" LEAVE YOU PERVERT", she screamed.
" You made me like yourself ",.
" You were not complaining in the bed beautiful ", he said.
" Raj I swear I am going to hit you if you don't leave now", she said.
" Kenny please let us bath together love. Maybe a spark or two can still.. ", he was saying.
Splash... 💧💦
She spilled a bucket of water on him.
" Hope that calms down your urges husband", she retorted.
" Shame I was thinking of other wet things", he said.
He was floating in air soon...
" Okay calm down wife I am leaving ", he said.
He cleaned himself in another bathroom and went straight to his office.
Parry and Maddy were in some kind of discussion with the old king and Parth. Diana was there too.
" Raj", Parry called him.
" What is this about", he dived in.
" Uncle Sourish had a girlfriend Carla. I contacted her", said Parth.
" Is she the mother", asked Raj.
" No", said Parth. " She broke up with him when he was arrested but later saw her with another girl. She was Indian. She had a photograph of them. She was on a double date with them. She sent the photograph. But it's a little faded ".
Raj looked.
It was a long shot and yes the photo was old and faded. Sourish was not visible but the girl was.
He looked hard. And thought.
I guess I have seen him.
But where?
" Do you remember him your uncle", asked Raj.
Parth shook his head in negative.
" I was very small when he had a fallout with grandpa and left."
" Yes his father when I met him told me he joined some kind of bike gang", said Diana.
" Ask Solly to get information on the bike gangs around that time. Also ask Kiara to run this girl in our database. She could probably be a groupie", he said.
" On that", said Maddy.
" Mehtas" , asked Raj.
" Looking for a partner to organize a large show of some kind", said, Parry.
Raj raised a brow.
" Vinita is going to try her hand in designing. Myra says it would be a disaster ", sighed Parry.
" It won't be", said Raj. " Ask Myra to meet me".
" Sure", said Parry.
" Umm Raj a second ", said Maddy.
" Yes", he said.
" Aditi senses tough times ahead. Don't know whatever but I have a bad feeling ", he said.
" I can't touch the b*tch. Grandpa vetoed", said Raj in frustration.
Meanwhile
" Kenny listen", came a voice.
Kenny was on her way to office.
" Rahul. Oh my God Rahul", she said.
" Can we talk", he looked around nervously.
" If your husband doesn't mind".
Kenny sighed.
" What is it Rahul", she asked.
" Mother is plotting to rig the internal council elections so that umm Raj loses", he said.
" Rahul", she was bewildered.
Rahul took a deep breath.
" All this is pointless Kenny ", he said. " I.. I have no interest in throne or to be a king. Between us I am signing a big contract with an art gallery in Paris. Darshan saved me. I am now famous".
" I am happy for you", said Kenny.
" And I wish you and him all the best in life. I still love you. Maybe time will ease the pain".
" Oh Rahul", she said.
" Kenny I didn't hurt Gaurav but oh God I so wanted to. And I felt so happy. I am not that man Kenny. And I don't want to be him again. Hatred is the biggest enemy. And love is the strongest weapon. I love my brother after all. I wish him well".
Kenny stood open mouthed with a deja vu hitting her.
Love the strongest weapon....
" And I wish you well too", came a voice.
Rahul turned to see his elder brother. He was standing solemnly in a corner.
" How much of that you heard", asked Rahul.
" Enough as not to kill you for touching her", he pointed to his wife.
Kenny rolled her eyes but Rahul just smiled.
" Can I order you for once", he asked.
" Order me", he raised a brow.
" Never ever reject love in your life", said Rahul. " All the best", he shook hands.
Rahul wished to leave forever. But fate had other plans.
After Rahul left Kenny rushed in the direction of old King's room pulling her husband behind her.
" Baby I know you want me so much but this is broad daylight ", teased Raj.
She glared at him. But keep on moving.
" Grandpa", she entered suddenly pulling Raj like a sac behind her.
He was sitting with Alok, Salman, their sons and Kiara.
They all stood up in surprise.
" Ohh don't mind me. I am just a rag doll she pulled", joked Raj.
" He will get his face rearranged today", whispered Solly to Maddy.
" Judging by looks he is sleeping on the couch today", he whispered back.
" What did this moron do now", asked Kiara.
Maddy shook his head.
"Kamini bribed the council" , said Kenny.
" The vote is against us".
" You sure", asked Alok.
" We can bribe them better", said Maddy.
" Are you seriously a lawyer", said Kenny.
" You talk more about breaking a law than following it".
" I know my way around it", shrugged Maddy.
" If Raj wins and become the king it should be fair", said Kenny.
" I will make it an open vote", said the old king.
" Ask them to cite reasons for vote too", said Alok.
" All this is too righteous ", said Raj making a sou face. " Boring".
" So what do you suggest your highness", said Kenny angrily. " Why don't we burn down the palace? Or break the antiques around here? Or tear the carpet.. Ride bullock carts to the palace", she hissed. " Enough to grab your interest. Or parade you n*ked like a stripper to get votes"?
Everyone was now chuckling at Raj's cost.
" Well I would love a strip show", he said deliberately raising his shirt as h*ckeys from their earlier session were now visible.
Kiara stood open mouthed.
" Shameless hussy", she sneered.
" What's that", Alok was equally angry.
Kenny felt like Earth should split and swallow her. She was red as a tomato.
" Aahh this ohh actually my wife lost control this morning. Boy I tell you what she did", he winked at his friends.
Bam..
Kenny fisted his face.
" Features rearranged ", beemed Solly.
Alok left angrily.
Bam
Kenny fisted again.
" Maybe I should help her", said Kiara.
" No my boxer we are leaving", Maddy pulled her. Then slowly whispered. " Photographs".
She nodded and then left.
" Hell and damnation " , said Salman as he left.
" Solly", Raj was now serious. " We need photographs. Thirty years back. Grandpa if you have Sourish's photos we need them too. Umm maybe of your brother too".
" Where are you going with this", asked Solly.
" I looked at that old photograph", he placed it.
" I think I know him but no I never met Sourish. But remember what Prakhar told police. As if he was reborn. He was not talking about Vicky and me but Cobra. He resembles his father. And I feel familiarity because I know him. He is around here somewhere", said Raj.
" How will we find him" , asked Solly.
Raj had no answer.
But Maddy had one..
" Photographs", he said to Kiara.
" Memories that are intact. We just need to analyse them in a right way to find him. ".
They now had old photographs of Riya and Vicky.
And all their friends.
A snake hiding amongst them.
