Sorry for posting this a bit late than I promised, actually I was watching Captain America 2. Steve Rogers is yum <3 and my was working on my laptop!

25th March 2016  1am

By the way I could have written it earlier but today its my birthday.. yay I am 21 and my crazy ass cousin Deepti(Yes she is the inspiration for the character) burst into my home at 12, so I will update as quickly as I can.

*****************

We stayed the whole afternoon and evening in our room, talking, laughing and forgetting that our lives were threatened. We left the room for dinner. Nobody bothered us before that, Mom met us for dinner and was giving us a creepy smile. She then announced that she was still young but she was ready to be a grandmother. I swear both me and Vikram were redder than the tomato soup.

Markus didn't come down for dinner. I think he was sappy after Ned Stark's death. Well as I remember I was too.

We again made love that night. He was much more dominating and rough then but i didn't mind. I quite enjoyed it.

From the next day we started meeting as usual, Shivam used to be absent as he used to go to work. Markus and Vikram used to control their workload by locking themselves in the room and having video conferences with employee back to back.

Safe to say that WiFi bill was skyrocketing.

With that and stream of relatives coming to meet me at the house as they couldn't attend the wedding, we would get very little time to plan.

Mita used to come and go in my house as she felt and I couldn't do anything about it in front of various aunties and uncles.

As Mita and Vilas Kaka already knew presence of Markus, he used to come and meet my relatives every now and then. It was always surprising that he used to meet them only when Deepti was around. Yeah, right that was not at all suspicious.

Vikram asked Mom to go back to LA, telling her that Walter was missing her, she blatantly refused Vikram's advise saying that she skyped with him everyday and if Walter wanted her to go back and he would ask her. Vikram started muttering next words like 'women', 'no sense of security' and 'don't listen'

We had to plan everything very carefully, each and every detail had to be checked thrice. But whatever we thought of Vilas Kaka would see it clearly without even trying. Mita was the only weak link we had but the problem was Vilas kaka was here too. We had to make him go away. Markus came up with a plan to do that.

"There is a hotel in Chicago, Vilas has his eyes on it for too long. Owner is my friend. Why don't I set up a meeting in Chicago? As greedy as Vilas is,  will jump up to the opportunity." Markus suggested.

But the next thing was, we had to know what Ajji knew. We always had a strained relationship and there was no way that she would talk to me. But Vikram said that I had to make it happen. So me and Deepti devised a plan. The next day, we made sure that Mita has left the house. Deepti and me, walked from the garden into Ajji's room. We haven't been there since we stole the deal from her safe. 

Ajji was sitting on her bed, looking blankly at the wall. She had lost weight and her arrogance had been seeped out.

I went and stood in front of her. I told Deepti to guard the front door. 

"What are you doing here?" She asked her voice low.

"I want you some things"

"I don't want to talk to you" She said turning her face away from me. 

"You have to" I walked and sat at the edge of her bed,"You know something, something about Harish Kaka's death" 

As soon as she heard this she started crying. Her wails were going louder.

"He was my son"She wailed,"My only living son. Now he is gone. Both my sons are gone" She cried.

For a moment I pitied her. 

"You know who killed him" I asked.

"Don't ask questions, whose answers you won't be able to handle" She said angrily.

"Why?"

"This is beyond Harish. Take your wretched business and go away from here with your husband. It has taken everything from me. Both my sons"

Both sons? My dad too? My head started spinning.

I went towards her and held her by her arms and shook her.

"What do you mean both your sons? My dad too? Did Vilas kaka killed him too?" I screamed.

She looked surprised,"You know about Vilas?"

"I do but I never knew my father.. my mother.. Oh my God... even Vikram's dad?" I wanted to run away. It was too much for me to handle.

No, I have to do this. I want to bring justice.

"Vilas was greedy. He is. My greed took one son away from him. Now my sins took another one away. Even that time I urged Vilas to spare my son and kill you and your mother along with Joshi" She spat,"But Vilas said we have to make it believable. Kill everyone. But you stayed behind that night with Rajni and her son, as both of you were sick. It didn't work out and I got stuck with you" i couldn't hear her anymore.

"You are going to pay so much more for your sins along with Vilas Kaka" I said turning around and leaving the room.

"You cannot prove it" I heard her as I closed the room and started going towards the main door with Deepti behind me.

"Believe me I can" I said softly, clutching the recorder in my hand.


*****************

Deepti begged me to tell her what happened the whole way back, but I didn't say a word. I couldn't even open my mouth.

My parents were killed. Murdered. By my own family. I survived. Was it luck. Me and Vikram were together that night. Even though we were babies. Maybe it was fate.

We entered our house, to see Vikram, Markus and Shivam talking about us. Worry clear on their faces.

"Lila" Vikram was the first to spot me.

"What happened?" He asked

I just stood there.

"She is not saying. She stormed out from there" Deepti said.

"Lila baby please tell me, did she hurt you?" Vikram said coming near me.

I just gave the recorder to him and left the room. 

I removed all my clothes and jumped into the shower. I wanted to think. With after what felt like hours, Vikram entered the shower and put his hands on my waist.

He kissed me softly on my forehead and said

"We will avenge them, baby, we will give them justice"
