Where is that rat hiding

Duleep got food for Payal.

" Eat", he said.

She quietly ate. She was mostly supporting. The only bone of content was Raj. SHE HATED HIS GUTS.

" Queen chose wrong", she said to Kiara in one such interrogation. " Save your sister from him. He is as dangerous as that cobra".

" DANGEROUS THAN HIM". Raj entered as he spoke this words. His eyes were cold death.

" I am not afraid to die", said the girl. " I have nothing to live", she said staring boldly in those dead eyes. Her own were equally cold.

Even Raj was taken aback.

" You know I trust you", said Duleep. " You are not a cobra".

" What makes you so sure", said Payal.

" My father worked for military. He tried to catch him. In retaliation he killed my mother. I was 16", said Duleep. " Two years later I joined army. You help me or not. But I shall avenge her".

" So you know how is it to lose a parent", she said.

" You lost a parent too", he asked.

" Two", she wiped her tears.

" I am sorry", said Duleep.

" Joshi killed my father. My mother brought me up. She died of cancer. I respect and am indebted to Queen Kanu. Her charity funded my mother's treatment and her last days were spend in peace".

" What was your father's name?"

" Tarun Solanki. He was a civil engineer who worked with Oberois. He joined Joshi's gang to ean money but..."

" Sorry again", said Duleep." But Rajeev why do you consider him enemy".

" HE IS HARBOURING DIPTI JOSHI. He is also protecting Aniket Joshi. Aniket's records disappeared. He was in same school as Rajeev. At 12 he suddenly disappeared. He is involved with black cobra gang", said the girl.

" But I will find where that rat is hiding and kill him".

She knows thought a stunned Duleep.

Meanwhile

Raj, Kenny and Gaurav were at Oberoi office.

" I am nervous ", whispered Kenny.

" No need. He is a good man", said Gaurav.

Raj remained neutral.

Daddy you will love her he thought.

" Mr. Mishra will see you now", said a secretary.

" His word is now order", said Gaurav. " Good thinking", he said to Raj.

Raj nodded.

" Rajeev nice to see you", Veer shook his hand firmly.

Rajeev was equally enthusiastic . " Same here Mr. Mishra. This is my girlfriend Kenny and her father Gaurav".

" I know Gaurav sir", said Veer. " Its nice to see you sir".

" Nice to see you too".

" Sir will be happy to see you", said Veer.

He knocked a room.

" Get in", came Ramcharan's voice.

They all went in and saw an old man sitting on an office chair.

" Rajeev", he said. " Nice to see you back. I thought you gave your best in the shareholders meetig. But that road show. Great. You are one of my best investment ".

" That road show is all thanks to my PR firm Queens. Meet Kenny the girl who owns it and my heart too", said Raj.

Kenny blushed a rose pink.

Ram was really happy.

Thank you Shiva for giving my Riya back.

" You know her father Gaurav", said Raj.

" Uncle", Gaurav said hugging Ram. Tears came in his eyes.

" Gaurav beta", he said hugging him tightly.

" How are you doing", said Gaurav.

" As much as I can do", said the old man.

" I miss him", said Gaurav.

" I know. I do too", said Ramcharan.

Meanwhile Raj was having a chat with Veer.

Kenny was just standing alone. She looked around and saw his photograph on a wall.

He wore a polo t shirt and spykar jeans. Custom made sport shoes. He looked rich and poweful with that stance. He stared at the camera in an intense look. His black hairs were geled his eyes intense and those lips. So firm and oh so kissable.

Unattainable..

Kenny shivered with the attraction she felt for him. Her breath fastened. Her heartbeat increased.

" My son Vicky", said a voice.

Kenny turned to see her father and Mr. Oberoi. Her eyes had tears.

" He.he.he..died", she said.

" Martyred", said Mr. Oberoi. " Fighting a traitor".

" Vinod fooled everyone ", said Gaurav. " God we never thought"!

" Rats always attack from behind", said Raj. " There are many in Junagarh I am afraid".

" Eliminate them", Ramcharan looked determined.

" Working on it, said Raj.

" Any whereabouts on Joshi", asked Veer.

"" Don't know where that rat is hiding", said Gaurav.

" Kenny love are you alright", asked Raj.

" Fine", she said weakly. " Maybe we can discuss Raj's campaign ".

" Sure", said Ramcharan.

They discussed for a long time. Mr. Oberoi was impressed with Kenny. She was an excellent planner.

" You brought up your daughter well", he said to Gaurav. " So son-in-law han".

Gaurav sighed.

" Hate him. Taking my little girl away", he said.

Ram chuckled.

" I am putting my bets on him. What do you suggest"?

" Perfect investment. He is future of Junagarh abd Bhishma. No one stands a chance", said Gaurav. " In business he reminds me of Vicky".

Ram looked at Raj confused. Then at his son's photograph.

" Really", he asked.

" Sadly there is where the similarity ends", said Gaurav. " He is as uncouth as they come. A total hippie ".

Ramcharan chuckled again.

" Fortunately my stake is in business", he said.

" You know me uncle but there are days I want to strangle him", said Gaurav.

Raj was softly kissing Kenny's forehead.

" Worst choice for her. He feels nothing. She feels a lot", he said.

" Opposites attract", said Ramcharan as Kenny nestled in Raj's arms.

Later as they took their leave Ramcharan gave Kenny a gold ring.

" I can't accept it", she said.

" Gaurav's daughter is my grand daughter. Please take it", he said.

Kenny looked at Gaurav who nodded.

" Thank you uncle", she said.

" I am blessed to meet you", said Ramcharan. " Gaurav come home sometimes. Bring Kenny."

" Sure", he said.

They said goodbyes.

Later that night

" Daddy you liked her", aske Raj on video call.

" Loved her", said Ram." Gaurav disapproves", he said.

" Can't help. He is so uptight. I like to tease him", said Raj.

Ramcharan shook his head. HE WAS SUCH A REBEL.

" I need to discuss about another matter. The girl who poisoned me knows I am hiding Aniket Joshi. She is the daughter of an engineer named Tarun Solanki", said Raj.

" You know him"?

" Yes he worked for Riya's historical adventure", said Ramcharan. " Later we found out he was a cobra. Vikram knew after that incident that someone close to him was involved".

" Fortunately she knows nothing about Parry. I can't hand her over to police. I don't trust them. I am sure he has eyes on me", said Raj.

Your enemy has recognized you Aditya has said. But he also said that Vicky was the smart one.

" I need to go over Vikram's things", said Raj. " Perhaps it will ring a bell".

" You can take a look", said Ram. " I tried to kept it similar to what it was".

" I just want to know where that rat Joshi is hiding", said Raj.

" Did Vicky knew", asked Ram.

" He probably got a clue but perished before he could act on it", said Raj.

" Hmm but I have an inkling he told Riya", said Ram. " After his death she was alive for three years and spent that time searching for something. I met her very less. So I don't know".

Raj was now more than ready to search for Riya's research.

Meanwhile Myra was on a call

" I heard them. The girl told that bodyguard that Raj is hiding Aniket. I only heard the last part of the conversation. I want you to act fast. If Rajeev is in league with Joshi Kenny is in real danger. I am going to find that rat and expose him", she said.

Meanwhile

" Parry calm down. Now you should be more careful and cautious", said Raj.

" You are telling me not to meet my mother who is already suffering from brain disease", said Parry.

" He tried to kililng you both. Imagine if he finds that you are alive", said Raj.

" How does that girl know", asked Parry.

" I am going to make her disappear and then we can have our interrogation. Her father once worked with Joshi", said Solly.

" WHERE THE HELL IS THAT RAT HIDING"?

Parry was frustrated beyond limits.

" Wherever he is we will catch the b*stard", said Duleep. " His doom is nearing".
