Raakshas - A human demon

Chapter 41- Father's crime

Author's p.o.v

Raakshas and Pari went downstairs and found that Manish is sitting on the couch having a serious

expression on his face.

The effects of the torture he has endured because of his twin brother is still visible on his whole body.

His right hand is still broken and it's painful for him whenever he tried to move it. He has to resign from

the police department as he isn't that strong anymore.

The moment his eyes fall on Raakshas and Pari, he stood up and glared at Raakshas angrily.

Seeing him, Pari run towards him and hugged him tightly. She started crying so bad seeing her father

after so many days.

" I missed you, Papa," Pari said soaking his shirt with her tears.

Manish replied getting emotional," I missed you too beta(dear)".

Raakshas is watching the father-daughter moment with some emotion in his eyes. He wondered if his

father would also hug him like that. Raakshas has craved for father's love always. And this thought

always hurt him whenever he remembers that his father has abandoned him.

" Where are Prisha and other family members? Didn't they come with you?" Pari asked her father

curiously.

Manish replied smilingly," No. They didn't come. And I am here to take you with me. You are returning

to Canada."

" What do you mean, Papa? I invited you here to attend my wedding," Pari said frowning her brows.

Manish replied glaring at Raakshas," How can I give my daughter's hand to a criminal? Tell me

beta(dear) why are you ready to marry him? Did he threaten you about your family? Tell me."

" Papa, try to understand. He isn't a bad human being. The situation has made him like that. And he

didn't threaten me. I am willingly marrying him," Pari said holding her father's hand to make him

understand.

Hearing Pari, Manish become dumbfounded. He can't believe what he has heard right now. His

daughter has fallen in love with a criminal and this thing is making him mad. The hate, the loath which

Pari used to have for Raakshas is nowhere to be found. Her eyes are now showing love for Raakshas.

Manish looked at Raakshas and found that he is looking at Pari with his admiring and proud eyes.

Manish didn't like this look of Raakshas.

" Dimag to kharab nehi hogaya tumhara(Have you lost your mind?) How can you forget what he did

with me and how he humiliated you? Manish yelled on Pari's face making her flinch a little.

Pari replied giving Raakshas a lovable stare," Papa, I admit that he has committed many mistakes in

the past but trust me, he is not a bad person. He loves me genuinely."

" Bandh karo yeay tamasha( Stop this nonsense)," Manish barked on Pari's face and tears started

forming in her eyes. It's the first time that her father is scolding her like that.

Then, Manish looked at Raakshas and walked towards him. He held Raakshas's collar and asked him

angrily," Tell me. What you have done to my daughter? I know you have brainwashed her."

Raakshas is now hell angry on Manish for holding his collar. Nobody dares to touch his collar like that.

Manish's hands are still attached to his body because he is Pari's father. Otherwise, Raakshas would

have cut his hands and threw them somewhere.

" We love each other. I didn't brainwash her," Raakshas uttered rudely giving cold stares to Manish.

Pari held her father's hands and freed them from Raakshas's collar. She said looking at her father's

eyes," Papa, I love him. Try to understand."

Pari's eyes became closed when she saw that her father's one hand is going to strike her right cheek.

She prepared herself for the slap but the slap never came.

She opened her eyes and found that Raakshas is holding Manish's hand tightly and his eyes are now

bloodshot. He is looking like a raging bull.

" Touch her and I will cut your hands in tiny pieces," Raakshas threatened Manish and jerked off his

hand angrily.

Manish is going to say something when Pari yelled loudly," Stop it. Both of you."

Raakshas and Manish both looked at Pari and found that she is crying her eyes out. Her beautiful

green eyes are now red because of crying.

" Pari, don't cr........." Raakshas tried to say but couldn't complete his sentence. Pari ran upstairs with a

heavy heart and Raakshas didn't follow her. He knew that she needs some comfort and he will give her

that. But, first, he needs to handle his Sasur Ji(father in law).

Raakshas looked at Manish and said coldly," You didn't do the right thing by making her cry."

" She is my daughter. To show her the right path I can say or do anything to her. It's none of your

business," Manish snapped at Raakshas looking directly into his eyes.

Before Raakshas could say anything Manish again said with determination," I will take my daughter

with me. And you will not have any objection in this."

" Try to snatch her from me and you will regret your birth," Raaksash threatened Manish.

Manish replied without any fear," Do whatever you wanted to do. But, I will prefer death for my

daughter before giving her hand to a criminal like you."

Saying that he started going towards the stairs to go upstairs where Pari has run. He needs to talk to

his daughter and make her understand that she has to leave India.

Manish's is now going to climb the stairs. But his feet are halted when he heard Raakshas's voice from

behind," Kya apki beti ko pata hey apki karnama o ki bade mey, Sasur ji( Does your daughter know

about your deeds father in law?)"

Saying that Raakshas stood in front of Manish having a smirk on his face. He is looking so calm and

his posture is telling that something evil is roaming inside his head.

" What do you mean?" Manish asked knitting his brows in total confusion.

Raakshas smirked and said," Sushmita Chauhan? Do you know her?"

Hearing the name, Manish's face is now completely pale. His eyes grew bigger and he is looking at

Raakshas with too much shock. He gulped down his saliva because of shock and nervousness.

" Shocked! Right? What did you think I don't know anything about your deeds?" Raakshas asked

Manish walking in a circle around him.

Manish tried to act normal but failed miserably. He asked with his shaky and nervous voice," What do

you mean? Who is Sushmita Chauhan?"

" You are asking me who is Susmita Chauhan!" Raakshas said giving a sarcastic smile to Manish.

Then, he added," Susmita Chauhan is your second wife and she is the reason that you never wanted

your daughters to come to India. You never wanted your daughters to know about your second wife.

Ain't I right, Sasur Ji?"

" How do you know all this? Manish asked Raakshas with his pale face and scared expression.

Raakshas chuckled and replied," Apko kya laga Hum koi mamuli gunde hey( What did you think? I am

just a petty thug!!). I am the King of the Indian mafia. I have every knowledge about my enemies."

" If you are planning to say about Susmita to Pari then just go and tell her. I know how to handle my

daughter," Manish said with confidence. He was understanding that Raakshas is threatening him by

using Susmita's name.

Hearing Manish, Raakshas started laughing like he has said any kind of joke. He isn't affected by

Manish's words and Manish is looking at him with confusing eyes.

After laughing for a few times, Raakshas leaned at Manish's ear and whispered," Does your daughter

know that you were the one who killed her mother to marry Susmita?"

This time, Manish felt like the ground under his feet has slipped somewhere else. He looked at

Raakshas with his wide eyes and started sweating like a pig.

" You are sweating Sasur Ji," Raakshas said dramatically and wiped the sweat beads from Manish's

forehead using a handkerchief.

Manish asked Raakshas with too much nervousness," How do you know all this?"

Raakshas chuckled and said," To kill Pari's mother, you and your second wife hired an assassin. And

that assassin was none other than me. I became a professional assassin when I was just 15 years old.

Before becoming the right-hand man of Sarkar I was a professional assassin who used to murder

people for money."

Raakshas stopped for a few moments and continued," I have a special ability that I never forget my

victim's faces. A few days ago Pari was showing some photos of her childhood and that's when I saw

your first wife and understood everything."

After hearing the whole perspective of Raakshas, Manish became dumbfounded. He isn't

understanding what he should say. If Pari comes to know about all this then she will definitely hate her

father and Manish doesn't want that.

" Are you going to tell all this to Pari? Manish asked Raakshas.

Raakshas replied chuckling," Aww! Are you scared Sasur Ji(father-in-law)? What if I tell all this to

Pari?"

" Then, she will hate you also. She will never marry the killer of her mother," Manish said and tried to

scare Raakshas.

But, Raakshas is the master of all manipulators. He smiled and said without any bother," What do you

think whom she will hate? The person who intentionally killed her mother or the person who has just

done his job."

This time Manish has lost his words. He isn't saying anything. He is just looking at Raakshas with a

worried expression.

" Don't tell her anything. I don't want to lose my daughters," Manish almost pleaded in front of

Raakshas.

Raakshas laughed loudly and said," Now, you have come to the point. I will not tell her anything if you

agree to this marriage."

"You can marry her. I don't have any objection," Manish said in one go without any second thought.

Raakshas nodded his head in positive having a smirk on his face. He chuckled seeing the nervous

expression of Manish.

Raakshas is now going to leave the place when he ordered Manish," You will apologies to your

daughter and tell her that you are ready to marry her off with me."

" Ok," Manish replied sighing and looked down.

Before leaving the place, Raakshas said to Manish's ear lowering his voice," I know that you were

partially involved in Ayat and Afreen's rape incident. You knew about your brother from the very first

and you were also involved with your brother. I didn't say anything about you to Sarkar only thinking

about Pari. You are still alive because of her. I don't want her to become an orphan like me."

Saying all this, Raakshas left the area leaving behind a shocked and dumbfounded Manish. He never

thought that Raakshas has already found out that he was involved in the mission of taking down

Ibrahim Khalid.

Pari's p.o.v

Shock!

I was completely shocked when Papa told me that he has accepted my relationship with Raakshas. A

few moments ago he came to my room and apologised. He also told me that he will support me until I Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

am happy.

I couldn't believe what I have heard. A few hours ago he was behaving like he will kill Raakshas

anytime. But, what happened to him suddenly that he stopped objecting.

"Did Raakshas threaten him?" No, he will not threaten Papa because he knows that I will never forgive

him if he disrespects my father.

Whatever! I have gotten Papa's permission to marry Raakshas and I am happy about that.

I wish ma was also here. After my mother's death, my father never married anyone because he loved

her truly. My mother is lucky in this case that she had a husband like my father.

Right now, I am going to Abdul chacha's wing. I have something to discuss about him. I want to talk to

him about the marriage arrangement.

I am now crossing Vedant's wing when I saw that he is coming out of his room with his unbuttoned

shirt.

I noticed that his right cheek is red like someone has slapped him hard and the corner of his lips are cut

which is slightly bleeding.

" Are you ok?" I asked him hesitantly and he just glared at me.

Without saying anything he left the place and I become confused. Why is he looking so pissed off?

I peeped into his room and found that Niharika is sitting on the bed with her torn clothes and looking at

the window aimlessly.

"Niharika," I called her and she looked at me with her void eyes.

Niharika has apologised for her mistakes and I decided to forgive her after hearing her perspective. I

don't blame her. For my child's death, only Azhar is responsible.

" Pari, when did you come? Please, sit," She said patting the area beside her. She covered her body

with a thin bedsheet.

I sat beside her and asked without hesitation," Did Vedant force you? Did he beat you?"

This time my voice is hard and anger is audible in my voice. I know that Vedant has tortured Niharika in

the name of his stupid love.

Hearing me, she hugged me tightly and started crying badly. Her tears are soaking my shoulder and I

am feeling too much pity for her.

" Niharika, if you want then I can help you. I will help you in escaping. I will arrange everything for you

in Canada. My whole family lives there and they will you. You just have to elope with your children," I

informed Niharika hoping that she will overcome her fear.

She replied crying," No, Pari. He will find out about me anyhow. I can never escape."

" Just keep your trust in God. You just have to escape from here and I will do the rest," I said holding

her hands tightly.

She stared at my eyes for some time like she is searching the truthfulness. She is blinking her eyes

repeatedly.

Suddenly, she started crying very hard saying only one thing," Everything happened because of me.

Because of my stupidity."

" No, don't blame yourself. Everything happened because of that bastard Vedant. He is the reason

behind your miserable state," I said angrily and tried to console her.

Hearing me, she stopped her crying and said looking down," Vedant never wanted to force me. It was

my stupidity and some misunderstanding that made him like that."
