Happy reading

 The sun was at verge of setting. Even then it gave the light and heat sufficient to tolerate. The day with Manik has turned as per planned and now we both are going to meet Mr. Khan. The address he has given us is really far from city. It was practically out of the city and it was some village. I looked at Manik who was driving to our destination with the help of google maps.

  Finally we reached the destination and it was a farm house at the middle of mango tree's farm. I rechecked the address and it was the same. "Come let's go" he said and we both went inside the house. We rand the door bell which was opened by a man in his 50's. By his attire it was clear that he was a servant. "Can we meet Mr. Khan?" I asked to which he welcomed us inside the house.

  The furniture seemed like a bit old for me. "Welcome Mr. Malhotra and Miss. Murthy. Have a seat." saying this Mr. Khan sat in front of us. "I know you must be eager to learn the truth, but first let me continue the rules of this mafia. The leader of this mafia should be a member of our family. That is Khan family. The one who joins the mafia should prove his loyalty by cutting his veins for five minutes. After a person joins the mafia, his family is at stake. The mafia can use any medium to continue their illegal activity. The profit is shared equally among everyone even the leader gets the equal share." 

  I took the coffee brought by the servant. The woman whom we met at the mansion came and sat beside Mr. Khan. "You mean the one who is running this is a member of your family?" I asked to which he nodded. I made a quick note to dig the information of Khan family. "What do you know about the relationship of Varna and this mafia?" Manik asked once he finished his cup of coffee.

  "First let me tell you what happened after the argument between me and my Abba. Abba tried his best to change A.K, but I tried my best to save A.K, but he took a different route. Neither he changed according my Abba desired nor did he change I expected to be. He became a womanizer and successful at very young age. He attracted people towards him which lead him to become a brat. As you know he changed once Varna came, so I decided to warn her about this mafia." he took a deep breath.

  "For a year there was no problem, but my Abba started his games again. He was sure that Varna has changed A.K into a serious person and can be involved in his dirty business. He talked with Varna about it, but Varna stood firm in her decision not to let A.K into this mess. She ensured that she will be the wall between A.K and this mafia." Mrs. Khan held his hand providing some support to her husband.

  "Suddenly Varna came to me one day and told me to arrange some place far from here. I asked the reason, but her answer shocked me to the core. She was afraid of this mafia, so she wanted to go away from here with A.K and live like a normal couple. I tried my best to ensure the safety and convince her to stay but her firm self never let her bend." he said 

  "Do you know the day or date of this situation?" I asked. "It was a week before her death." Mr. Khan's statement only proves that Varna knew some crucial information. As Mr. Khan said she stood firm in her decision then why the hell did her decision changed. Moreover it was a week ago of her death. A very powerful person is involved. Who could have scared such a strong headed woman?

  "Why did you hide your wife?" Manik asked Mr. Khan whose expression changed at this question. "It's ok if you are not....." It was their personal thing so it was not good to poke your nose. I was cut off by Mr. Khan "No, it's completely fine. I never introduced my wife to anyone even my brother is not aware of my relationship status. This is Fareen. Khan, my wife." we just gave a smile to her.

 "Fareen is the daughter of my Abba's right hand. As I told the family of the members in the mafia is at stake, she is the best example for this. I met her when my father forcefully brought me to one his meetings. It was held in her house as her father was my Abba's right hand. All were discussing the transport of important weapons from a city. She came there to serve some salad there. It was the first time I saw her and her mother." a small smile formed on both their lips.

 "It was the same weapons deal which lead me and mother to the danger. My father brought all the weapons to our house. The rivals of the mafia attacked our house and my so called father ran away like a coward. My mother wanted to save me so she sacrificed her life. I didn't know what to do? I called his father." Mrs. Khan gestured Mr. Khan while telling her story. "Thankfully  Atif picked it and came to our rescue. It was too late to save my mother as she was dead, but I was just injured. He took me to the hospital where I was there for two weeks." she had some tears in her eyes.

  "My father thought I was taken away by the rivals and he did not make any effort to search me. Instead he married another woman to satisfy him. I cared less because he used to beat me and mother to the pulp. I was tired of him, so I asked Atif to send me to my Nana's house. I was happily living there and sometimes he used to visit me. One day he asked me to marry and here we are." a satisfied smile came to her lips.

 "Why are you hiding your family? Is this because of mafia?" I asked to which both nodded. 

This is some dangerous thing.
