CHAPTER 43: BLIND BELIEF

Chapter 43: BLIND BELIEF



Shiva clearly remembered what Arthi had said to him five years back, that she`ll come back once she is powerful and strong enough to face those people who wronged her and her family. To avenge her dead father, she kept her promise has come back to make everything right. To take back what belongs to her rightfully from the hands of the evildoers.

Yesterday in party he has seen a strong and confident lady who just looked like that Arthi that he knew, but she didn't look fragile or emotional. Now the Arthi who is standing in front him was the stronger and determined version of herself, who can mask all her emotions into a blank business look. Arthi's comeback was indeed spectacular and has left everyone dumb folded. They didn't even get to react on her entrance on the party just to be mysterious for everyone.

Over those 5 years Shiva had kept in contact with Sid and Arthi. Shiva liked Sid more than his grandson who was a constant support system Arthi that too without any expectations and unconditionally.

Even though he felt Atharv couldn't have hurt Arthi intentionally, but after learning the truth about his deeds he couldn`t ignore the fact Atharv was also involved with those peoples who has caused harm to Arthi. So over the period of time he distanced himself from Atharv.

There were times when he just wanted to go to his grandson and ask Atharv why he did those things to Arthi, but he controlled himself for the sake of promise which he had made to Arthi and also it was not correct time to reveal those things. It would have caused harm to Arthi instead of help it could lead those evildoers to learn about Arthi's whereabouts which was dangerous for her so he didn't bother Atharv to ask what to happened in the past. When the time comes the past will revile itself.

Now that Arthi is back he would like to see her in action and also wants to see how his grandson will react after he meets the new version of Arthi. This version of Arthi is not timid but domineering in nature, it would be great show to watch those bad people getting punished for their bad deeds. Karma gets back to the wronged ones always.


Even though Atharv is his grandson, he wants Arthi to punish him for his deeds. It would lift the burden and suffering that poor girl has carried in her heart. Thinking about all this Shiva could only sigh in his heart.

Atharv was always poor in judging people and beliefs everyone easily. Shiva always warned him to be careful, but he didn't listen to him. Eventually Atharv`s blind belief lead him to take major hit with the betrayal of his so called bestfriend and fiancé. Those people just made him act accordingly to them and took advantage of his trust and even took money from the company.

Now the company which Shiva built with his blood and sweat from starch is at the verge of closing. The company was his everything so he is just hoping that Arthi would help Atharv to support the company. Arthi made no promises to Shiva and has told him it depends on Atharv`s presentation skills and his reasoning to save the company.

Shiva has rough idea that the mysterious share buyer of his company may be Arthi, but he was also not sure about it. He tried many times to make Arthi spill the beans, but that girl has become very hard nut to crack. Shiva`s heart swells with pride seeing how his little princess has changed and developed over the years is very commendable.

Even though Shiva had Ajay had been friends since their childhood, he never liked Ajay`s hot headed and arrogant nature. Shiva always told him to control his anger, but never once Ajay paid attention about it. If his friend would have controlled his anger and stubbornness then Tarun wouldn't have left the house and Arthi wouldn't have to face so much difficulties.

Remembering all these things he just sighed, he didn't know what Arthi has planned for those people. Shiva knew that he can`t discuss those things with Arthi or Sid or even Pradeep over the phone. So he had planned to meet Pradeep on Monday instead of their usual Sunday meet ups.

Shiva jolted from his thoughts when his mobile ringtone chimed, he picks his mobile to see it`s a call from an unknown number knitting his brows he answers the call…
