Part 30

Durga felt lost in this strange city. Bhavani and Gaura had disappeared. They had gone out one day and came back excited. Then they had taken their bags and left.. Vidhya had also gone , breaking her son's heart. Shravan had been bed for two days and Durga couldn't bear to see him like this. She had come to this city chasing the only man she had loved but there was a love stronger than that in her heart, that of a mum. She made a decision there and then, she will teach Vidhya a lesson and also get even with Gaura who had abandoned them so quickly. She shook Shravan who had drunk himself to sleep. He sat up rubbing his eyes and then remembered what had happened, his eyes started filling up.

SLAP! He opened his eyes wide, had his mum really done that? After all that he has been through, he was expecting sympathy from her, not a slap. His mouth hung open, he tried to speak but no words came out. Durga took his face in her hands and said,

" Listen to me beta. We came here to find your dad so I could get him back, I didn't realise your marriage would break up in the process. I never expected this from Vidhya. But now we need to get her back and also teach your Baaji a lesson. I made the biggest mistake of my life listening to her all these years. Not any more. You are going to do what you should have done as soon as we came her.you should have used your brain, instead of listening to Baaji too much. Find your dad. Find out where his office is, it shouldn't be hard. He is a wealthy business man. From there we can find his house. Vidhya will be with them as well. And I think Baaji has gone there with Bhavani." Shravan was surprised to see this change in his mum. Gone was the meek mousy woman and standing in front of him was a proper Durga. There was fire in her eyes and looking at her Shravan knew what he was going to do- destroy the people who destroyed his life and at the front of the queue were the Modi sisters.

...

" Vidhya , you don't have to do all this. That's why I have the two aunties, let's go and get our nails done"

Chanda was only too happy not to do any work and just wanted to get dressed for Dharam's benefit. She planned on wearing something sexy and try and seduce Dharam. And being in Vidhya's body, she could get as close to Dharam as she wanted, even Meera wouldn't suspect a thing.

Meera gave instructions to Gaura and Bhavani , she didn't want anything to go wrong at the party tonight. She had her doubts about the two women but they seemed to be good cooks. But there was something familiar about the two, especially the Roly poly elderly aunty and the way she walked. The younger woman was quiet most of the time but whenever she opened her mouth , that foghorn voice- where had she heard that before? But she won't worry about that today. She went to get ready, Chanda/Vidhya in tow.

Gaura cursed under her breath. Meera had given her a long list of items to prepare and she didn't know how to make half of them. Bhavani was equally perplexed. She looked at all the ingredients and sat on the floor with her head in her hands. She had come to be The mistress of Dharam's heart but looks like she was going to spend all her time cooking and cleaning. Guara pretended to have a back ache and sat down and let Bhavani carry on with the cooking

...

Dharam looked around the house. Meera had excelled herself again, she as good at throwing parties. He wasn't happy that she was doing all this extra work but she seemed happier than she had been in the last few weeks. With Gopi and Jaggi in their way, things seemed to be getting better. If only he could make sure that his mum and Bhavani and Durga were kept away.

All of a sudden, Two arms encircled him around the waist and he smiled to himself. Mmm. Meera was in a playful mood. He lifted the palms and brought them close to his lips to kiss them and dropped them like hot coals. That wasn't Meera's hands. Meera had a burn mark on her palm. He turned around quickly and was shocked to see Vidhya standing there. More weirdly she was wearing a really an almost transparent sari and sleeveless blouse and her hair was let down. He had never seen his bahu in this avatar.

" What are you doing Vidhya?"

" Sorry to startle you Papaji but I am just so happy to see you and Didi. I guess I just got carried away. " Vidhya was blushing.

Dharam smiled weakly and walked away quickly. He and Vidhya shared a very affectionate relationship but Vidhya had never expressed her feelings in a physical way. She might be Meera's sister but she was like a daughter to him and that wasn't daughterly love. Was it wrong of him to ask her to come here without telling Shravan?

He walked into his room and then he saw Meera and he stopped in his track. He couldn't take his eyes off her. She was dressed in a shimmering royal blue evening gown , with her hair piled up and minimal make up , just red lipstick. Even with the slight bump in her belly, she looked amazing. That was the thing about Meera, she really didn't need to take a lot of effort to look devastatingly beautiful.

" Hello, any one there?" Meera playfully snapped her fingers in front of his face.

" wow, Meera , you look.. " . He couldn't find the right words " just wow"

" I am dressed as a Hollywood starlet and you my darling will be the handsome vampire who has come to seduce me" she said , putting her arms around his neck

Dharam tried to protest as he had no wish to get dressed up but Meera was at her persuasive best. Moving really close to him, she gently pressed her lips on his and trailed her lips down his chin and then his neck. He couldn't stop himself from moaning in pleasure when she bit his neck. " And that's how your are going to make me your slave, my handsome prince of darkness" , He was all ready to take her there and then but then they saw the movement by the door. They quickly moved apart. It was Vidhya and for some reason she seemed very angry. She turned around and walked away. Dharam and Meera looked at each other, Meera shrugged her shoulders and went after her sister, leaving Dharam to get ready.

The party was in full swing. Everyone seemed to be enjoying , even the weird dishes which seemed to be some sort of Indo British fusion were going well. Most people thought that it was deliberate , in the spirit of Halloween. Little did they know that it was Gaura and Bhavani throwing all the ingredients together hoping for the best. The door bell rang again. Dharam hoped it was his special guests, his surprise for Meera. Meera was sure that lot more people had turned up than invited, but she did not mind as long as they were all being fed and kept happy. She went to open the door and looked in amazement at the latest entry- It was a mummy, covered head to toe in rags. She burst out laughing. This was probably the best costume of the evening.

The mummy sauntered into the room casually. Meera did not wish to seem rude by asking who was under the costume so just welcomed the mummy and showed her the buffet. Under the bandages Durga cursed to herself. She had tracked Meera down on Vidyas track my iPhone account. She was here to prove she wasn't as dumb as everyone made her out to be. Tonight she was going to get her bahu and her husband back.

The doorbell rang again. This time Meera opened to door to stellar man in a horses costume right down to the head of a horse. Karan salvated under his horse head. This was the only costume he could fit over his nose in the costume shop. Even then it was a tight fit.

All of Dharam and meeras enemy's stood gathered in their own home unbeknown to the couple. They were in great danger tonight during Halloween. Their party was in full swing. The full moon shined through their large patio windows. Suddenly the bell went again. Meera opened the door to see Jaggi and Gopi! Finally they had arrived travel weary and surprised to see the party. Meera flew into their arms delighted to see them and welcomed them in!

Dharam came down in his vampire costume looking handsome. Vidya/Chanda swooned. Bhavani felt her heart quiver. Durga sighed whistfully remembering those two times he was hers physically. To him it was a mechanical act to produce an heir and keep Gaura quiet but to her those two times when he sighed, hardly spoke to or showed her any affection but was intimate with her - they were the happiest days of her life. Meera stood proudly watching her husband walk down the stairs. Even after all these years he still took her breath away. She grabbed him as he reached the bottom of the stairs and kissed him full on his mouth. Dharam smiled proudly at his wife and then grabbing her around the waist nibbled her throat pretending to play the part of a vampire. Gaura was disgusted by their wanton behaviour and cursed Meera under her breath. Durga dispute her vow for revenge felt meek. She would never match up to Meera in looks or in confidence. It was at this moment she realised she had lost the war for Dharam. Karan couldn't see what was going on in his horses head. All he could smell was his own rancid breath in the costume but convinced himself the smell was from the costume itself. Chanda/ vidya and Bhavani imigined themselves in meeras place and felt their legs go wobbly with desire.

All of them came with evil intentions. The night had just begun. The game had started. Who would win?

Part 32

Gopi scanned the room. Who were all these people? She knew Meera loved a party but some of these guests looked really shady. She was tired after the long flight and all she wanted to do was curl up under the blanket and sleep but she had to speak to Vidhya first. The way she had treated Priyal! The child had jumped into her mum's arms when she saw her and Vidhya too seemed really happy but a little while later when she had asked Vidhya to come and lie down with her she had shouted at the poor child and pushed her away. Gopi had taken a crying Priyal upstairs and somehow pacified her and managed to get her to sleep with Ahem and Medha. She had come down looking for Vidhya, where was she? And then she saw her talking to Dharam. Gopi's eyes narrowed. There was something wrong, if she didn't know better she would have said Vidhya was flirting with Dharam . He too looked really uncomfortable and was trying to move away but Vidhya was clutching his arms pulling him back. Ok, she needed a talking to. Gopi walked towards them.

"Umm Mmm blah blah Mmm"

" Excuse me, but I can't understand a word you are saying. Can you take off that horse head please?"

He shook his head. Meera looked at the horse headed man . He had been following her around for the past hour and trying to talk to her. But it was all gibberish. She shrugged her shoulders and walked away, to check on the kids. She felt really tired but happy as well. The party seemed to be a success and her mum was here with Jaggi uncle. There definitely were more people than she invited but she didn't care, some of them were quite wierd and and that was saying something about a room full of zombies, ghouls and vampires. What was with that Mummy? Just like the horse was chasing her the Mummy seemed to have taken a fancy to Dharamji. Mmm. She might need to keep an eye on it. In fact, a lot of the female guests were trying to get friendly with her handsome husband and she was glad Vidhya was near him, keeping them away. in fact, she had seen her sister speak harshly to a couple of them and chase them away.

Dharam saw Jaggi by himself in a corner of the room and decided to go and talk to him. Chanda saw that Dharam was getting away from her . Whatever happened she will be in his arms today. She had been trying to flirt with him for a while but instead of being attracted to her he seemed horrified. Why? Doesn't she look gorgeous? She had checked herself or rather checked Vidhya in the mirror earlier and while she didn't look as beautiful as Meera , she was quite pretty as well. So why was he not falling for her? Well, now she would fall , literally , for him. She swayed and pretended to trip and fell towards Dharam expecting him to hold her in his strong arms. She closed her eyes in anticipation and could feel her heart beating faster. And then she could feel it, being embraced and held close to his chest. She slowly opened her eyes. And jumped back in so much horror she almost flew out of Vidhya's body. It wasn't Dharam who had held her but someone in a gorilla suit. She pushed the stranger away without even thanking him and looked for Dharam. Damn! He was talking to that Gopi and Jaggi.

Dharam thanked Gopi and Jaggi for coming over so quickly. " I know you have a lot going on at the moment but I am so glad to see you both here. I was getting really worried about Meera. She was on the brink of a nervous breakdown. But with you and Vidhya here, she will be fine."

Gopi was actually not too keen to come to London. She was worried about Jaggi's mum who had just come out of the coma but was still very weak and there were already problems between Ramakant and Sita. Once the honeymoon was over, the trouble in paradise had started. She wanted to stay back and help them but Jaggi had been adamant. " Gopika, you can't be everyone's saviour. You have done enough for your don, but what about your daughter? She has been through so much and where were you when she needed you! That chudail Bhavani and Karan put her through all that trouble and did you even know about it? This time Dharam Bhai has asked us for help and we need to be there for them." Gopi knew that Jaggi was right . And do here they were.

" Dharamji, i couldn't believe it when I found out about Durgaji and Gauraji. And now they're all here? Poor Meera, but I am so happy to see the changes in her. She has become so mature and responsible. And she is devoted to the twins"

" Meera is not just looking after the house and kids, Gopi Ben. She is helping me with my work as well. I never knew she had such a head for business. Once the baby is born, we have decided that Meera will take over part of the business."

Gopi was surprised to hear that. She had always assumed Dharam to be old fashioned.

It was time to wind down the party. It was well past midnight and the guests had started to leave. In fact, most of them had left. They had looked for Meera to say bye to her But she hadn't come back after leaving the party to check the kids . Dharam thought she must have fallen asleep and Vidhya was also missing. The gorilla, horse and Mummy had also disappeared. Dharam hoped they had left. He was getting a bit tired of them especially the Mummy.

"AARRGH" The scream seemed to come from the bedroom upstairs. "HELP"

Dharam and Jaggi looked at each other and rushed towards the stairs

Part 33

Dharam and Jaggi rushed towards the master bedroom . Whoever had screamed seems to be in there. CRASH. A window had broken somewhere but it seemed to be on the other side of the house. They looked at each other and decided to split. Dharam rushed towards the bedroom while Jaggi ran in the opposite direction. Bhavani and Gaura were resting in their room when they heard the screaming and the crash. Gaura followed Jaggi while Bhavani rushed towards the bedroom. ' Hope that Meera has been killed and it was her last scream'. If that was the case she wanted to be near Dharam to comfort him.

.' Jaggiji, What is happening?'" Gopi clutched his hand in worry

" Gopika, this house is huge. I don't even know where to look"

And that's when they heard it." Put me down. Please let me go".

They both rushed towards the noise and they looked at the scene before them with mouths wide open and their eyes almost popping out...

" Meera, Meera , where are you?" Dharam was panicking. Meera was not replying. He quickly checked the nursery. The twins were still sleeping and so was Priyal. No sign of Meera. Where did she go?

Rushing towards the bedroom, he almost collided with one of the burqa clad maids. She held him tightly and kept asking" are you all right, are you all right?"

".Have you seen Meera?"

" I don't care about Meera, I am worried about you"

Dharam couldn't believe his ears. What a cheek. There was so much going wrong he didn't have time to think about where Meera had found this weird woman from. But that voice.. He will worry about this later.

He rudely pushed her away and ran towards the bedroom with Bhavani trailing him. He stopped short when he saw what was on the wall. BLOOD. And lots of it. He felt his legs giving way and had to hold on to the door to support himself. Meera. Meera. What had happened to her? Where was she?' Hey Ambe Maa. Please don't let this be Meera's blood. ' " Meera,Meera , where are you ? Please answer me"

A car started on the grounds. Dharam rushed towards the window and could see someone trying to drive away in a car but the person seemed to be drunk as he was driving erratically. And his face seemed to be covered in a huge mask. Dharam pushed Bhavani , who was trying to hug him, out of the way and was about to go out the door when he heard it. Some one was crying. But where? The sobs seemed to come from the bathroom. Dharam looked in and was shocked . IT WAS THE MUMMY.

Part 34

Dharam looked at the figure in shock. What was this strange creature , who looked as if dressed in toilet paper , doing in his bathroom? And where was Meera? He didn't want to waste any more time and Meera's strange maid wasn't helping either. Dharam was about to walk out when..

" Dharamji, it's me"

He stopped short in shock; that voice, that was Durga's.

He turned around in shock . " Durga , what,,. How did you... Why are you dressed like this? And what are you doing here?"

Durga had come into the bedroom to wait for Dharam. She had no idea how she was going to convince him to take her back but she was going to try . She had been there a few minutes when Meera had walked in. Durga had run into the bathroom. immediately after Meera,the horse head had come there as well. Durga had tried to peep through the door and see the horse remove the head and Meera scream in terror. He had tried to Pull Meera closer to him and Meera had fought him and run to the balcony , the man had followed her there. Durga couldn't see what happened, but she had heard Meera screaming for help again and there was a thud as if someone had fallen. She could hear someone running away. Durga was so scared by this point she had decided to stay hidden there. She explained all this to Dharam who listened to it in shock. By this point he was really worried for Meera.

Bhavani looked at Durga. She didn't understand how Durga still thought she had a chance with Dharam.

" Take Durga to Vidhya and give her some food as well. I am going to look for Meera. " Dharam almost ran out of the room

...

Gopi and Jaggi could not believe what they were seeing. Vidhya was standing in the middle of the room holding the gorilla up in the air. The gorilla was whimpering. How Vidhya was even able to do it, they couldn't fathom. But her eyes were blazing and her voice sounded different when she spoke. For a minute Gopi was sure she was hearing Chanda's vouce. But how was that possible. Vidhya/Chanda had felt a strange energy course through her fuelled by anger and desperation. She was ranting in anger, " How many times have I told him to leave me alone.! I am not interested in being his wife anymore"

" Vidhya, what are you saying? Who is this? Will you please put him down?"

Vidhya threw the gorilla down, who lost consciousness as his head hit the edge of the fire place. Vidhya pushed Gopi out of the way and stormed from the room. Jaggi removed the mask from the gorilla's face and was shocked to see Shravan. Jaggi found some water and started sprinkling it on Shravan's face. Gopi ran after Vidhya and they almost knocked down Dharam who was running from his room shouting Meera's name. Chanda lost all patience at this point. MEERA, MEERA, MEERA. She was fed up of hearing that name. Why didn't he notice her when she was prepared to throw herself at him like this? And she knew it was Bhavani under the burkha . Why was she trying to cling on to Dharam . Shameless woman. Oh, and that mad woman Durga was here as well. She could feel her anger rising and knew that as an astral being, she had unlimited powers. "Vidhya , Gopi Ben, have you seen Meera?"

" No Dharam Bhai, why? What happened? "

And that is when Gopi saw Durga. All the colour drained from her face. How did Durga who had been dead for five years come back alive.? Sh looked at Vidhya, why hadn't Vidhya told her anything. Durga ran towards Vidhya. " Have you seen Shravan?"

"Yeah, he is lying in a crumple in that room, crying for his mummy" Vidhya /Chanda smirked

Dharam was shocked to see the change in Vidhya. " What are you talking about.? What happened to him? "

Vidhya launched herself at Dharam and took his face in her hands. " We don't need Meera nad Shravan. We can be happy with each other" . She tried to kiss him . Dharam pushed her away vehemently.

Gopi felt as if the earth had swallowed her. She was living in Twilight Zone. WHAT WAS VIDHYA DOING?

Bhavani , equally shocked lunged at Vidhya but Chanda was prepared for this. She pushed Bhavani against the wall and lifted her off the floor with one hand . Dharam , Gopi, And Jaggi and Shravan who had also joined them stared open mouthed at Vidhya's show of strength.

" Dharamji". Meera's voice broke the spell. She was standing at the door , with a look of sheer terror in her face. Dharam ran to her and hugged her tightly. "Meera, are you alright?"

" Oh, she is fine, but you won't be for long". Dharam saw the revolver pointed at him before he raised his eyes to look at the man holding it. " I told you, I will come back for Meera" . And he pulled the trigger.

Part 35

Meera screamed when she saw the blood. "DHARAMJI!" Dharam looked at his body. He could see the blood but he didn't feel any pain. Maybe this is how you felt when you were close to death. He looked at Meera , hoping he could hold her one last time. "Meera"! Then came the second scream. " MAA" . It was Shravan. Dharam wondered why Shravan was shouting for his mum when it was his dad who was wounded. And then he saw it. Durga lying on the floor with blood oozing out of a wound in her chest. The bullet had hit her.

Durga had watched the whole scene unfold before her as if in a dream. . Vidhya's craziness, Shravan's helplessness, Meera's panic, the craziness of the man who was holding a pistol and raising it at Dharam, Dharam and Meera 's intense love when they were looking at each other in pain . And in that one instant, when she saw the look that passed between them, Durga knew her situation was hopeless, that Dharam would never take her back as his wife and even if he did, he would never love her the way he loved Meera. She understood in that one instant why Baaji kept calling him Meera ka Mohan. She hoped that if she ever had another life she too could experience love like this. Maybe Dharam would never understand this but she loved him whole heartedly and that's why she had agreed to everything Baa said. But this time no one was influencing her, this was her decision and hers alone. And she had jumped in front of Dharam when Karan pulled the trigger.

Karan could not believe what just happened. He thought he had finally got rid of Dharam but once again someone else has saved him. He was living a charmed life. Karan had followed Meera to the bedroom and had tried to get close to her but she had run to the balcony and pushing him down, had escaped from there. He had managed to grab her and drag her to the car and there had pushed her in . But she had managed to give him the slip while he struggled with the huge horse head on his face. He had finally managed to hold her on gun point and had hoped to kill Dharam and leave with her. Now his first wife had saved him but Karan wasn't prepared to give up yet. He raised the pistol again but Chanda quickly pushed him away. Gopi could not believe the strength Vidhya was showing. Karan fell down and was shocked to find Vidhya sitting on his chest. She started hitting him with such force that he could barely breathe. It took all his strength to push her away . He jumped up and started looking for his pistol but couldn't find it. He had no intentions of staying there and get attacked again. He decided to leg it and try his luck again

Dharam and Meera sat next to Durga . They were getting a feeling of deja vu. Durga looked at Dharam, there was a lot that she wanted to tell him but she knew her time was almost up. She took his hand and tried to speak. " I am sorry, I should never have come between you and Meera". Shravan , took her head and put it in his lap. He had been happy getting his mum back but that happiness was short lived and she was going to leave him again. Gaura , disguised , was watching all this from a distance. She was relieved . She had promised Dharam to Durga but she had also promised the same thing to Bhavani and was wondering who to get rid of, but Durga had done her a favour and decided to get out of the way. Shravan's cry of anguish filled the place as Durga breathed her last. Gaura sighed with relief.

The rest of the day was a blur to Meera and Dharam. Police, ambulance, questions and more questions , screaming kids, Vidhya in a strange mood, Shravan crying non stop, the two helpers getting in the way. Meera was glad her mum and Jaggi uncle were there. They had taken responsibility for the kids. Dharam was busy with the police . He gave all the information he had about Karan, how he had made one attempt on his life in India and how he was after Meera. They hoped the police would be able to catch him quickly.

Vidhya/Chanda was watching the circus happening around her. She was glad one of her competitors had gone but there was still Meera left. She had hoped the horse man would take her with him but that idiot Durga had spoiled all that. Gopi tried to find out what was in her mind but she slammed the door in her face and she barely paid any attention to Shravan and Priyal

Meera lay in bed with her kids , the doctor had given her a sedative to help her deal with her trauma. Dharam sat by her side and took her hands in his. He couldn't forgive himself for putting her in this situation again. She had tried to warn him, but he had thought she was losing her mind. Meera stirred in her sleep, "Dharamji".

" I am here Meera". . He gently touched her tummy. It was a miracle that after all this, the baby was safe. Meera's motherly instinct was protecting the baby. He kissed her tummy and whispered to his child. " we won't let anything happen to you". He lay down next to her and held her close to him. Gradually his eyes closed as well.

Gaura and Bhavani were also wondering how to take advantage of the situation. Their biggest problem was Meera. They wished Karan had left with her. They too blamed Durga. " The idiot woman has been a blot on my life since the day my son married her. Even in death she is troubling me, " Gaura complained to Bhavani. She was already planning on how to use Karan to her advantage. It was quite lucky that their paths had crossed and She wasn't going to look a gift horse in the mouth, she knew she needed Karan's help. And Karan , who was now a fugitive in two countries, needed her help. She called him . " Listen to me carefully. What I am about to tell you will benefit both of us . "

Part 36

There was blood everywhere. His whole world had turned red. " Meera, Meera, where are you? Answer me! " He screamed in panic. He couldn't see her anywhere. He tried to follow the trail of blood but all it led him to was a pool . A massive pool of blood. He could see bubbles on the surface and then he saw her hand. It was going under! His Meera was sinking in the pool of blood! He had to save her. He waded into the pool and felt the current pulling him down.

" Meera, Meera!" He kept screaming as if his voice would bring her back. He felt someone trying to pull him out. Someone was shaking him. He tried to push them away. He had to get to his Meera. He lashed out at them.

" Ouch,! Dharamji, Dharamji, wake up. You are having the nightmare again." He opened his eyes on hearing Meera's voice. She was sitting next to him , in bed. She was stroking his face. He was drenched in sweat and Meera used the end of her sari to wipe the sweat off his face. It took him a few seconds to realise that what he had seen earlier was a dream , a nightmare , his worst fears dredged up from his subconscious mind. His fear of losing Meera. He had been having these nightmares since that dreadful night two weeks ago, when Karan had tried to shoot him. He wasn't scared of losing his own life, what he couldn't imagine was losing Meera.

His relief at finding Meera next to him was so much that he started laughing, hard. " Ambe Maa khi sukhar hai. You are all right. I thought I had lost you". Meera smiled at him and ran her fingers through his hair.

He looked at her again, this time taking in her red sari, her bare midriff and her long hair cascading down her back . A few strands were blowing across her face. She looked radiant , with the pregnancy glow on her face. Dharam couldn't take his eyes off her. He sat up and put his arms around her neck.

" You do know that you look gorgeous, don't you?"

" Hmm,, I have been told so by others but my husband hasn't mentioned anything recently."

" Well, . I am not good with words. I'd rather show you. " And pulling her closer , he moved his lips from her forehead, down her delicate nose and eventually found the softness of her lips. Their lips locked in a passionate kiss. His fingers were moving down her back and she felt her pulse quickening. He unfastened the pin holding her sari up and let it fall off her shoulder. His lips started moving down her chin and on to the hollow of her neck. He bit her gently on her shoulder and Meera moaned in pleasure. She pushed him back on to the bed and then he felt her on top of him and her hands were busy taking off his clothes.

When they eventually moved apart, Dharam was concerned. It didn't matter that the doctor said it was ok , but he was still worried about harming the child. But Meera was contented. " Don't worry, Dharamji. Everything is fine. " She rested her head on his chest . Dharam was happy to stay like that forever but he knew he had to get up and get on with things .He wasn't looking forward to the rest of the day.

The police had agreed eventually to release Durga's body and he had to go with Shravan , to collect the body later on. The funeral was meant to be in a couple of day's time. They had thought of taking the body to India but in the end it was easier to arrange for Nayya to come to London. She will be there the next day with her son and Dharam hated the thought of seeing her again. He didn't know he could hate his own flesh and blood so much.

But someone was looking forward to her visit. That was Gaura. The last few days had been torture for Gaura . She was stuck in the house and Gopi and Meera had made her work so hard she went to bed each night in aches and pain. Bhavani wasn't faring much better either but she was younger and every time she opened her mouth to complain, Gaura snapped at her. They had no choice but to do whatever Meera wanted. Gaura had heard Gopi complaining to Meera about how lazy they were and Meera had replied that she was thinking of firing them after the funeral. That would put Gaura in a fix as she wouldn't have anywhere to go. Atleast she didn't have to do any cooking as Gopi had taken over that . She had almost caught Gaura trying to poison Meera and now banged her from the kitchen. Gaura would have been fired that day but she had managed to persuade everyone that it was an accident.

Gaura heard laughter from the staircase and turned to look. She saw Dharam and Meera coming down, with the kids. The kids were dressed to keep them warm against the cold and they were looking forward to a stroll in the gardens. ' If I didn't hate Meera so much, I would be proud of my son for marrying such a pretty girl. They do look beautiful together' . Gaura murmured to herself. But Bhavani heard that and fumed in anger. Meera seemed to get more beautiful everyday and she knew it would be harder to get Dharam to leave her.

" Meera, how many times have I told you not to lift the kids? You are not out of danger yet!" Gopi and Jaggi had just walked into the room. Gopi took Medha from Meera and Jaggi took Ahem. Medha tried to wriggle out of her arms. The twins had started walking and couldn't wait to explore the house and the gardens. Gopi tightened her hold on her. " In a minute sweetie, Badi Maa and Bade papa will let you both run all around the grounds."

Meera looked at her mother and smiled. If her mum knew what else she had been upto just now, she would be mortified.

" Relax mum. Medha is light as a doll. Though I have to say that since you have been here we all have put on weight. You are feeding us so much! "

" that's true, Meera. Your mum does like fattening people up. Look what she has done to me since our wedding." Gopi slapped Jaggi playfully

Meera looked at her family around her and thought about everything that had happened lately . He mum had finally got over her dad's death and moved on with Jaggi. Vidhya has been moody and aggressive but that might be because of Durga's death . Pimple mourned in strange ways. Karan was still out there as were Gaura and Bhavani but she knew Dharam had taken all the steps to protect his family. She could never relax fully till all if them were out of their lives. But right now, she needed a break and she knew exactly what would help her relax. She looked at I her babies. " I can't wait for their first birthday party in a couple of weeks' time. I have so much planning to do!"

Dharam , Gopi and Jaggi looked at each other. Every time Meera organised a party, disaster struck. But none of them wanted to tell her anything. She seemed happy and they were happy to see her like that.

" Ok Dharam Bhai, Gopi and I will take the kids out of your hair for a while. We will be in the garden if you need us" Jaggi and Gopi walked out with the twins and Dharam too left for his office. Meera decided to get busy with the party planning.

Bhavani and Gaura had listened to all this. Gaura made a decision. This was too good a chance to miss. It was getting harder to harm Meera inside the house. Dharam had installed top of the state security measures including CCTV. But the grounds were not that well covered. It was almost as if it was sixth sense, because right then the person who was supposed to put the plan in motion rang Gaura. She slipped away and signed for Bhavani to continue working. " You need to get here right now. Gopi and Jaggi are going to take the kids out. I'll distract Jaggi, you do what you gave to do."

She smirked thinking of the effect her plan would have on Meera and her son. By the end of the day Dharam would be a broken man and she couldn't wait to see him like that.

Part 37

DS Tom Watson looked at the case files and knew there was something missing. They knew who has shot Durga, his photo had been sent to all the airports and ports and so far no reports had come about to say that anyone had spotted him. Karan Shah was a business man of international repute with many connections and Tom was worried that he would use them to escape from the country. They had been watching all his known associates and so far he had stayed away from them. But it was clear that he was being helped by someone. He had managed to follow the Suryavanshis to their new house and had gained entry. This had to be an inside job. There was also the niggling feeling he had about the two maids in the house. Why did they look familiar! He ran their names through the system and nothing came up . Tom decided to visit the Suryavanshis and interview the two women once more. Also he strongly believe that Karan would try to get close to Meera Suryavanshi again.

...

Karan waited for the signal. He had been sitting in the car for a while now. He was parked a couple of gates away from the Suryavanshi's back garden and he knew that He had to move away soon or someone would report him. It was the back gate but it was still guarded and he knew that anyone during away from the house normally used that gate. He also knew Gaura would come through for him, the woman was a criminal mastermind. She had entered the country and the Suryavanshi house ditch fake passports, hoodwinked the immigration officers and the police and she had also promised to get him out of the country. She was the one who had found the empty house for him to hide in and had got him whatever he needed. She he phoned earlier , she had confirmed that today they were going to get a chance to put their plan in action. Karan knew that abducting Meera was out of the question and she would never come with him willingly. But her kids- if we could take them and use them as bargaining chips, Meera had to come to him and that was exactly what he was going to do. Karan saw Dharam drive out of the house but then he stopped the car and came out. The reason was obvious a minute later as Meera came out . The two of them talked for a minute , Something Dharam said made Meera laugh and she put her arms around his neck and kissed him on the lips. Karan could feel his blood boiling at the sight and he almost got out of the car. Dharam got in his car and Meera went back inside. About 10 minutes later , he got the call . He got out of the car and started walking towards the gate

...

" Fire, fire" Gaura screamed at the top of her voice.

Jaggi turned around and saw smoke coming from the corner of the garden and then he saw the blazes. And then they heard the blast.

" Gopika, go inside with the kids." Jaggi shouted as he ran towards the noise. He saw the guards running towards it as well. What he hadn't seen was Gaura starting the fire and what he also didn't see see was Bhavani walk towards the gate which was locked from the inside and open it to let someone in.

" Hey Ambe Maa, once again you have heard my prayers." Gaura started dancing and then stopped , with her mouth open. What was he doing here! She saw Dharam come running out through the French Windows, followed by that sergeant and Meera. What happened next took only seconds but for Gaura time stretched. Dharam running towards Gopi and his twins, Gopi running towards the house trying to get the kids inside, Medha coming out of her grasp and running towards her dad only to be grabbed by Karan, the sergeant drawing out his revolver, Meera running towards Karan and Karan taking a knife and pointing it at Medha's throat. Everyone stopped in their tracks, the only sound that of Medha crying .

" Drop the knife Mr Shah, you know you can't escape now" Tom tried to reason with him. All he wanted was to get Medha out of the maniac's hand . He saw Jaggi trying to get his attention . He saw that the guards had also drawn their pistols but no one wanted to shoot or approach Karan for fear of hurting Medha. Jaggi signalled to the stick he was holding and Tom knew that he was going to distract Karan . . Tom caught Dharam's eyes and signalled towards Jaggi. They would probably only have seconds but that will gave to do . Jaggi whacked the stick loudly on the ground , Karan spun around towards the noise bringing Medha within Dharam's reach and for a few seconds the knife end was away from her throat and that was all Dharam needed. He grabbed Medha just as the shot rang. Karan dropped the knife and clutched his arms. He saw the sergeant point the revolver at him again and knew his game was up. But he wasn't going to go down without a fight. He rushed towards Meera and Tom had no option but to shoot him.

...

Dharam looked at Medha sleeping peacefully in her cot. Tears welled in his eyes when he remembered all that happened that morning, how close he had come to losing his beautiful girl. He stroked her hair and smiled when she giggled in her sleep, probably dreaming about fairies. She had already forgotten about the morning. . How lucky was it that a few minutes after he had left home that morning he had got a call from DS Watson who wanted to talk to all of them again. He had turned back and arrived at the house at the same time as the sergeant. He could sense Meera behind him even before she put her arms around him. He lifted her hands to his mouth and kissed each finger. Meera rested her cheeks against him and he knew she was crying. Dharam turned around and hugged her tightly against him. He lifted her face up and kissed her forehead. " It's over Meera. He is dead" . She didn't reply but just hugged him tighter. She knew that her husband would do anything for her and their kids and she was in the safest place possible- his arms.
