After attacking each other relentlessly for about 5 minutes, both Abhinav and Adhiraj's limbs began to falter. Their eyes had swollen so much that they couldn't see clearly. Blood was oozing from wounds all over their bodies. But still, neither of them stopped. Even if it was with slow, weak steps, they moved towards each other. Adhiraj punched Abhinav directly on the nose. In return, Abhinav delivered a powerful kick to Adhiraj's back. A lot of blood gushed from both their mouths, and they fell to their knees. The sight at that moment was very painful. Many weak-hearted people moved away and started vomiting, while some fainted and fell. Those people couldn't believe that two humans could fight each other like this. Abhinav and Adhiraj were on their knees, and both had grabbed each other's throats. At that moment, they were both enemies and each other's support. If they hadn't supported each other to stand, they both would have fainted and fallen. Abhinav said, panting, "Adhiraj, admit defeat. I don't want to kill you. The family's throne will be mine. But I promise you will be the second-in-command. It's not right to die for your ego, Adhiraj." Hearing this, Adhiraj burst into loud laughter and said, "I would prefer to die than be your second-in-command. And as for my ego, it would swallow you and everyone present here, and still, its hunger wouldn't be satisfied. Come, I'll give you an offer. Accept it and never show your face in this house again. In return, I will let you and your family live. My responsibility is many times bigger than your ego, Adhiraj. I promised my father. Fulfilling that promise is more important to me than losing my life. Losing is not an option for me." Abhinav said emotionally, "At this moment, both of them were so exhausted that the veils of their hearts began to lift. The truth within started to come out clearly. This often happens in physical fights. When even sworn enemies fight at this level, they often start revealing their heart's desires. It's just like the effect of drinking alcohol. For me too, losing is not an option. Being second best is not an option for me. Never. Everyone praises God of War Rudrakashyap, as if the Royal Black Guards have no contribution to border security. I don't accept this. Rudrakashyap calling himself stronger than me, I don't accept this. You coming to the Garhwal family, snatching everything from me, and sitting on my head and making me your second-in-command, I don't accept this. Adhiraj Garhwal is number one. Always number one." Saying this, Adhiraj raised his hand and punched Abhinav in the face. But his strength was so weak that the punch merely brushed Abhinav's face and fell down lifelessly. Abhinav held Adhiraj's collar and said, "You don't even have the strength to fight anymore, Adhiraj. You have lost. It's over." Saying this, Abhinav used his last remaining strength and landed a powerful punch on Adhiraj's face. As the punch landed squarely on his face, Adhiraj fell backward. His eyes began to dim. He had bled so much that his face had turned completely white. His body had given up. But still, he mumbled in a faint voice, "No, no, I haven't lost. Until I admit defeat, I haven't lost. Until you win, Abhinav, you cannot sit on the family throne. You cannot." Saying this, Adhiraj completely blacked out. Suddenly, the thousands of people gathered around screamed at the sight. The noise of the people was so loud that it was enough to pierce the ears. They had probably never seen such a dedicated and passionate fight in their lives. Then, a man from the crowd shouted, "This fight was legendary." Two very capable and motivated boys fought until their last breath, and in the end, Abhinav emerged as the winner. This thing had shaken everyone's emotions. On the other hand, Abhinav and everyone else had returned to the venue. Damodar looked at everyone and said, "There will be so much in today's celebration. I myself hadn't thought of it. But now that everything is finally settled, I announce that the next leader of the Garhwal family is Abhinav." But this time, no one clapped, nor did they make noise. Everyone was looking around, shifting their gaze. Whether it was the audience, Abhinav's supporters, or the members of the Garhwal family. Because someone or the other would keep coming in and giving a surprise. But finally, this time, when no one came, a smile appeared on Abhinav's face, along with a great sense of relief. He looked at Hansraj and said softly, "Hansraj ji, when will Rani arrive?" "Just a little longer, she must be arriving." Hearing Abhinav, Ranjay looked at him in surprise. For the first time, Ranjay looked flustered. Before he could say anything, Rudra arrived, congratulated Abhinav, and without wasting any time, left for King City with Gabbar. Because he had to take charge of his post. Rudra's fighter jet disappeared into the clouds in the sky with a loud noise, in front of everyone's eyes. Kabir and Aryan were also immediately sent for medical attention. A medical team had given Abhinav first aid. Now there was complete silence all around. Everyone was looking at Abhinav. When Abhinav first came in a wheelchair, people saw him as nothing more than a disabled person. But at this moment, he was a supremely talented young man who was the perfect candidate to lead the Garhwal family. The anger and hatred that people had for Abhinav vanished instantly. Everyone was looking at him with admiration. For some, Abhinav had become like a superhero etched in their hearts. They started considering him their idol and became his die-hard fans. Damodar and Abhinav's companions also noticed the change in people's attitudes. They all knew that once Abhinav won this competition, his status would improve tremendously. Then no one would be able to use words like "bastard" for him. Abhinav's huge victory, along with receiving the S-class military merit, was a great boost for both the Garhwal family and Abhinav. Their respect increased manifold. People started respecting the Garhwal family even more. Then, breaking the silence, Chandrashekhar said in a serious tone, "Congratulations Abhinav." Chandrashekhar congratulating him proved that the Gupta family had also approved of the decision to make Abhinav the winner. Soon, everyone's courage grew, and one by one, all the guests present crowded around Abhinav as if flies were swarming around honey. "Congratulations Abhinav sir. Congratulations Abhinav ji. You have blown my mind. Abhinav sir, I have become your fan. Can I take a photo with you?" Everyone was saying similar things. Thousands of people were standing in line in front of Abhinav, waiting to congratulate him. Then, the orchestra on the left started playing music, and a closing ceremony began again. At this time, many national and international celebrities were dancing and performing on stage. But no one was paying attention to them. Everyone was just looking at Abhinav and longing to congratulate him and shake his hand. Seeing this scene, Damodar's heart was filled, and he said, "Abhinav." Abhinav told Hansraj to deal with the others and walked slowly to an empty corner near Damodar. At this moment, uncle and nephew were smiling at each other. Finally, that day had arrived. No words were exchanged between them. Damodar just hugged Abhinav. After hugging for a few moments, Abhinav and Damodar separated. Abhinav said nothing, nor did Damodar. The next moment, Abhinav walked out directly through the path in the middle of the venue. Seeing this, Damodar was a little confused. He understood that Abhinav might be looking for something or thinking about something. But as the future leader of the Garhwal family, etiquette dictated that he should mingle with the esteemed families present, accept their gifts, and try to get to know them. Because in the future, Abhinav would have to do business and other tactical collaborations with those very people. But Abhinav's behavior at this moment made it seem like he was ignoring the guests present. Damodar called out, "Abhinav, look, all the respected guests are coming to congratulate you. Meet them once." But before he could finish, the roar of helicopters was heard in the sky. Hearing that sound, all the guests looked outside in surprise. "Wait, is someone else coming?" one man asked. Another said, "But everything is settled now. The competition's decision has also been made. Isn't it too late for them to come after everything is over?" People were in such confusion. But Abhinav, who had been lost until now, suddenly lit up hearing the sound of the helicopters. A big smile appeared on his face. At the same time, Hansraj also came down from the stage with a smile. Vikram, Sharmila, Rajiv, and Hardev Pal were still sitting in the same place where David had blown up Ananya with a blast. It seemed as if their souls had left their bodies with Ananya's departure. So many things had happened here since that incident, but they hadn't even looked up once. Hansraj approached them with a smile. He placed his hands on Vikram and Rajiv's shoulders and said, "Vikram, Rajiv, Sharmila ji, Hardevpal ji, I am about to say something that will shock you, but it will be a pleasant surprise to all of you." None of them reacted to Hansraj's words. Hansraj said softly, "She has arrived. Don't be disheartened. It's time to smile. Your daughter Ananya is out." Boom! Hansraj's words struck the bodies of those four lifeless people like an electric shock. Just as doctors in a hospital bring people back to life with electric shocks, Hansraj's words breathed life into the bodies of those four people who had become like corpses. What will happen next? Will Vikram and his family believe this? Why did Ranjay play this game with Abhinav and Ananya? What is Ranjay's ultimate goal? What is Project Tiger? Is Abhinav's story over here? Or is this the beginning of a bigger war? To know, keep listening. Hearing Hansraj's words, Vikram and his family suddenly came to their senses. Abhinav had won the competition and was receiving so many congratulations, but they weren't as happy about that as they were about Hansraj's words. Then Rajiv, crying, grabbed Hansraj's feet and said, "Hansraj ji, Hansraj ji, what are you trying to say? Do you mean that... that Ananya?" Hansraj nodded his head slowly. Then Vikram pointed to the ground and said, "Then... then that was Ananya?" Hansraj smiled and said, "That wasn't Ananya. It was her duplicate. Ranjay sir planned it." Saying this, he pointed towards the helicopter that was landing outside and said, "The real Ananya is in that helicopter." "What?" Hardev Pal exclaimed, standing up in shock. He had never shouted so loudly in his entire life. Sharmila was still sitting on the ground like a statue. Hardev Pal said, "Duplicate Ananya, meaning... this... this..." Hardev Pal started stammering. Then Hansraj said, "See for yourself with your own eyes, and you will understand everything." Just then, the helicopter landed on the ground, and Ananya's familiar face descending from it met their eyes. Suddenly, with a loud scream, Sharmila started crying and then ran outside like a madwoman. "Ananya, my daughter!" Behind her, Rajiv, Vikram, and Hardev Pal also ran, with mixed emotions of surprise and joy. But before they could reach Ananya, Abhinav ran quickly and reached very close to the helicopter. Seeing Abhinav running so close to the helicopter blades, Damodar shouted, "Abhinav, stop!" But Ranjay quickly grabbed Damodar's hand and said, "Let him go. He has more guts than you. He doesn't leave his loved ones behind by worrying about the world." Ranjay deliberately made a sarcastic remark to show that despite being the leader of the family, Damodar hadn't brought Abhinav back for so many years. On the other hand, a commotion erupted in the crowd. They were shouting among themselves, "Oh my God, what is happening? How are there two Ananya Madams here?" Another man said, "What the hell? Am I going to keep getting shocks one after another today? I already have heart problems. I might die from so many shocks." Then a third man said, "Could it be that the Abhinav's wife who died a little while ago was fake?" Along with this, the crowd present was also surprised at how Abhinav's demeanor had suddenly changed. He no longer looked like a fierce fighter but like an ordinary young man, running towards the helicopter with a big smile on his face, unconcerned about the world. When Ananya descended from the helicopter, she was surprised to see the crowd of thousands of people in front of her. All the way, she had been nervous about how she would face so many people, how she would meet Abhinav again. But now, seeing so many people in front of her eyes, her mind went completely blank. Seeing them so surprised and all eyes fixed on her, sweat started to form on her palms. Then a voice came from behind, "Ananya, Abhinav sir has arrived." Hearing this, tears welled up in Ananya's beautiful eyes. She turned her gaze and saw Abhinav running towards her. At that moment, time seemed to slow down for her. It was the same for Abhinav. The thousands of people around and their noise seemed to disappear. Only the two of them were in each other's eyes. As soon as she saw Abhinav, Ananya's dam of tears broke. Being confined for such a long time, having no idea about her future, the fear that another girl would take her place and live a happy life with Abhinav – all these things had been eating her from the inside for the past three to four months. It was no less than third-degree torture. There were many times when Ananya's courage was about to break. But Abhinav's face would come before her eyes, and she would gather courage. But at this moment, Abhinav had finally appeared before her eyes in reality, running towards her. Suddenly, Ananya ran towards Abhinav like a madwoman. Both of them had only one thought in their hearts at that moment: "I missed you so much. You are my life. I will never let you go again." The audience of thousands watched this filmy scene with bated breath. The initial commotion had turned into complete silence. Running, Abhinav and Ananya came close to each other and embraced each other with all their might. Light snow was falling from above. Abhinav lifted Ananya into his arms and spun her around, laughing heartily. Ananya hid her face in Abhinav's chest, and tears flowed from her eyes like pearls. For the past three months, she had been in shock and had longed to cry with her head on Abhinav's chest every moment. Finally, her wish had been fulfilled. The entire scene looked like a romantic Hindi film scene. After a few moments, Abhinav put Ananya down. Holding Ananya's face in both his hands, Abhinav kissed her forehead and said, "Ananya, finally we are home." But Ananya's tears wouldn't stop. Crying, she said, "Do you even know how much I missed you?" At this moment, only love was reflected on Abhinav's face. He lovingly wiped Ananya's tears and comforted her. Abhinav knew very well how much Ananya had gone through during this time. Ranjay had not only snatched Abhinav's freedom but also Ananya's in his grand scheme. Although all those sacrifices were for today's special day. Meanwhile, Saniya slowly approached, pushing Ishan in a wheelchair. Vani, Golu, Rohan, and Shanti were also with them. Everyone's face reflected happiness. Only Ishan, sitting in the wheelchair, looked very sullen. He said enviously, "Look, the world's top businessmen and politicians are present. Abhinav is loving his wife in front of them. I am feeling very jealous." "What is there to be jealous about?" Saniya said, feigning anger. Ishan looked up at her lovingly and then smiled and said, "Look, what a perfect moment. If I were fine, I would also pick you up in my arms and spin you around in front of all these people. I missed the opportunity to create such a good moment. There's no jealousy." Saniya's mouth hung open. But it was clear that she was very happy. A blush spread across her face. Blushing, Saniya pinched Ishan's shoulder and said, "There are so many people here. Aren't you ashamed?" "Ouch." Ishan rubbed his shoulder in pain and said, "Those who embrace other people's wives in their arms should be ashamed." On the other hand, as Ananya's emotions slowly calmed down, Abhinav looked towards the others. His gaze first fell on Ishan. Suddenly, his eyes turned red. Holding Ananya's hand, Abhinav walked towards Ishan. Abhinav stood about 1 meter away from Ishan. Their eyes met, and then suddenly they both burst into laughter. As if they didn't care about the world. Even while laughing, a slight moisture was clearly visible in both their eyes. As they calmed down from laughing, Abhinav raised his right hand and hit his chest three times, saying, "Today's honor and glory are not just mine but all of ours. Let's go." Ishan also hit his chest three times and said, "Let's go." After that, led by Abhinav, their entire group slowly walked towards the stage. Abhinav did not let go of Ananya's hand during this time. She walked right behind him. However, when Ananya saw the people present up close, her heart started beating wildly. She felt very nervous because she was also born into a wealthy family and had received her education in foreign countries. Therefore, she knew about these people. She had often seen them in magazines, interviews, business summits, and political rallies. According to Ananya's knowledge, she could see many familiar faces in that crowd. Many of them were people she had dreamed of meeting, and many were people she couldn't even dream of meeting. But today, they were all standing in line, waiting for Abhinav. Ananya's heart was filled. She said to herself, "All this... all this is possible because of you, Abhinav." She looked up at Abhinav walking ahead of her. A tall, well-built young man was walking ahead of her, acting as her shield. At this moment, Ananya felt the safest and luckiest person in the world. A flood of happiness surged in her chest, which drove out all negativity. As they reached near the stage, Abhinav took Ananya to Damodar. Ishan and the others also took their places. Shanti, along with the flustered Golu, reached Ranjay. Ranjay glanced at both of them and then smiled softly and said, "Golu, I know you are the heir of Bahram. What a coincidence? You will meet Abhinav. Was this also Bahram's plan, or just a coincidence?" "Yes, sir. What?" Golu said in surprise. Ranjay smiled and said, "It's time for the return of the thieves." On the other hand, Abhinav slowly held Ananya's hand in front of all those prestigious guests and raised it in the air. Then, with a big smile, he announced, "I apologize to all of you. The love and honor you have given me is not just mine. It is also my wife Ananya's. Therefore, I want to make a small request. Can you all come and congratulate me once again?" Boom! Abhinav's words suddenly caused a stir in the party. Damodar's expression completely changed. Ananya was also surprised. For a moment, even Ranjay faltered and, looking at Abhinav with a sideways glance, said, "This boy, his attitude is something else." For a moment, the atmosphere became very awkward. Everyone was looking at each other's faces. It was true that they had all come to witness the election of the next leader and greatly respected the power and wealth of the Garhwal family, but they also had their own dignity. They did not like being ordered around as they pleased. The Garhwal family members, especially Damodar, knew that it was necessary to deal with such people very respectfully. Before the atmosphere became more awkward, Chandrashekhar burst into laughter and said, "It seems Abhinav loves his wife very much and wants this for her happiness. So what? We will congratulate them once again. It's a joyous occasion, brother." Saying this, Chandrashekhar stepped forward and, holding Abhinav and Ananya's hands, said, "I, Chandrashekhar, on behalf of the entire Gupta family, congratulate both Abhinav and Ananya very heartily. Wish you a very happy life ahead." Once Chandrashekhar took the first step, the others did not hesitate. If a powerful man like Chandrashekhar could take Abhinav's request positively, then these people had no issue. One after another, all the people lined up again and said with a smile, "Congratulations to Mr. Abhinav and Mrs. Ananya. Congratulations. We hope great things from you in the future. Congratulations, ma'am. I have become a big fan of your husband. Such a great man. You are very lucky, ma'am." In this way, many people came one after another and congratulated them. A joyous atmosphere spread all around, and people started taking it as a fun activity. At this time, Ananya's tears were flowing uncontrollably. She was thanking everyone. But deep down, she was very emotional. She had never dreamed that the great people of the world, whom she could only dream of meeting, would come and congratulate her personally today. Abhinav had already promised Ananya that one day he would definitely get her this honor. But even so, Ananya was not ready for this moment from within. But Abhinav had fulfilled his promise. He was about to sit on the throne of the most powerful family in the world, and Ananya was going to enjoy all this power, wealth, and respect with him. Therefore, a sweet voice came into Ananya's ear. "I promised you, didn't I? One day will come when we will go to our Garhwal family with full pride and full right. All this glory, all this honor, is a gift from me to you." Ananya looked up and saw that Abhinav was looking at her with great love. Abhinav continued, "I know that our lives have had many ups and downs. Our beginning was not good. But what is happening now, this is the best phase of my life. Because you are with me. You know, even before you came, these people were congratulating me. But I felt no happiness inside. And you know what I realized? That this honor, winning this competition, this family throne, my happiness is not in any of these things. My happiness is only and only with you. Thank you very much for coming into my life." Saying this, Abhinav pulled Ananya into his arms. All his dreams, all his promises felt fulfilled today. Even after going into Abhinav's arms, Ananya continued to cry. The pain of the past few months, the pain of losing her child, the fear of the constant threat of death hanging over Abhinav – all these fears, troubles, and stress were now coming out as tears. At this moment, Abhinav might be smiling, but tears were also flowing from his eyes. Thousands of people were congratulating them, and during that time, Abhinav hugged Ananya tightly. After some time, when they both calmed down, Abhinav's gaze fell on the memorial of Vidya held in Vani's hand. It was a small part of a large memorial, on which was a picture of Vidya and a description of her. Abhinav mumbled, looking at his mother's picture, "Mother, your son has done it. Finally, you can enter the family with respect. Today's honor is also yours. It is my misfortune that I stand here alone today without you and Papa. But I am sure that wherever you are, you are definitely watching me." Saying this, Abhinav's tears flowed. Slowly, everything settled down. The magnificent music was still playing. On Damodar's orders, workers immediately came and reset the venue. Although the broken stage and the large crack in the ground could not be repaired, the arrangements for food and drink and the party continued once again. Everyone took their seats again. Glasses of wine clinked. People were laughing, smiling, talking to each other. Led by Damodar, Abhinav went to each table one by one and met all the top businessmen and politicians. Everyone was eager to talk to Abhinav and earn his favor. Abhinav was also in a good mood, so he entertained everyone, talked, and laughed at their jokes. At this moment, Abhinav was not only the next leader of the Garhwal family but also the recipient of the S-class rank one military merit, which further elevated his status. After meeting all the top people in the front row one by one, he would just pass by the back tables, say hi and hello, and move on. There wasn't time to meet personally with thousands of people. At this time, some members of the Garhwal family were very angry with Abhinav. They absolutely did not accept that he had defeated everyone and sat on the throne. Although their two top candidates, Adhiraj and Pukhraj, had lost, and Amma Ji's treacherous trump card had also failed, they had nothing to say. They stood in a corner, suppressing their anger. Finally, after meeting everyone, Damodar and Abhinav went and sat at a large main table in the front row. Ananya, Ishan, Hansraj, and everyone else also settled at the same table. Golu, Shanti, and the supporting families were at the surrounding tables. The atmosphere had become excellent. After taking his seat, Abhinav held Ananya's hand from under the table and smiled at her. Damodar noticed Abhinav's action and said, "Oh, rascal, don't just focus on your love life now. So many people have come. At least say something." Hearing this, Abhinav bowed his head, feeling a little embarrassed. Then he looked up at all the guests present. Everyone was smiling. Many of these people were not only powerful businessmen but also friends and family to Abhinav. Abhinav's gaze fell on Ranjay. Gratitude spread across his face. Abhinav said to himself, "I will have to thank Ranjay uncle. He orchestrated this whole game, and looking at it, the outcome of this game is perfect. Ananya is completely safe. Most of the enemies' attacks were anticipated beforehand. Although there were security breaches, all the goals were achieved." Then he slowly raised his wine glass, bowed his head slightly towards Ranjay, and looked at everyone else, saying, "I know that a lot has happened today and in the past year. I know that many of you have made many sacrifices for me. And I also know that if many of you hadn't come into my life, perhaps I wouldn't be sitting here among you today. To be honest, whatever I am today is because of you all. Therefore, today's family reunion dinner belongs to all of you. Thank you very much." Everyone raised their wine glasses and started laughing and smiling, clapping. Everyone appreciated Abhinav's toast. Although at this moment, many people had many questions about the whole situation in their hearts, for now, it was not the time to ask those questions. It was time to enjoy. Moreover, Abhinav also had some questions in his heart at this time. But he did not want to spoil the celebratory mood, especially when Ananya and her entire family were present. Today was such a big occasion of happiness that Ananya had also had a little wine. On the other hand, Damodar drank wine heartily. To achieve the throne of the family leader after just one year of Abhinav's hard work was nothing short of a miracle for him. When he first went to meet Abhinav with Hansraj, he didn't expect Abhinav to actually accomplish this in a year. But Abhinav had exceeded his expectations. While the party was still going on, Damodar, drunk, got up and pulled Abhinav from his seat. The next moment, he also picked up Vidya's memorial from Vani's hand. At this time, everyone was engrossed in the party, so no one stopped them, nor did anyone ask any questions. Anyway, everyone knew that Abhinav wanted to build his parents' memorial inside the family's ancestral hall, where the memorials of all the ancestors were built. Ananya also said nothing. However, a few minutes after Damodar and Abhinav left, Ranjay also slowly got up and left the banquet party. With the departure of important people like them, the atmosphere became a little lighter. But soon, Ishan, Hansraj, and others took charge and livened up the party atmosphere. On the other hand, in the Garhwal family's ancestral hall, where the memorials of all the old family heads, their wives, and other family members who had made significant contributions to the family's progress and prosperity were built. Only a select few people received the honor of having their memorials built here. With full rituals, lamps were lit there daily, incense sticks were burned, and family members would come and pray before the memorials so that their ancestors could bless the Garhwal family's prosperity and well-being in the future. It was often the dream of Garhwal family members to have their memorial built in this hall after their death. After death, this was the greatest sign of respect that any family member could receive. At this time, the area of the ancestral hall was completely silent and peaceful.
He seemed drunk. In his drunken state, Damodar reached the main entrance of the ancestral hall for Abhinav. His face had turned completely red at this moment, and as soon as he reached there, clarity dawned in his eyes. Abhinav was walking behind, carrying Vidya's memorial in his hand. Suddenly, near the entrance, Damodar stopped and, with tears in his eyes, said, "Vidya Bhabhi, it's been almost 20 years, you've finally come home today. Please forgive me for taking so long." At this moment, a guilt was awakening in Damodar's heart. Although Abhinav was grateful for Damodar's help, these words spoken in his drunken state seemed like over-the-top drama to Abhinav. He said to himself, "You sat on the family throne for 20 years. If you wanted, you could have built memorials for both mother and father here. And that too, with full right. The family head has complete authority. But still, you waited for me to sit on the throne. I don't understand your words. What a joke." However, Abhinav did not say all this outside. He just let out a deep sigh filled with disappointment. But Damodar's sharp eyes had caught this gesture of Abhinav. He lowered his head and, walking towards the hall, said, "Come on Abhinav, this work is important." As they walked closer, the guards standing there bowed their heads and said, "Good evening, sir." Damodar waved his hand carelessly and ordered, "Quickly open the door of the ancestral hall. And after that, all of you go and stand 100 meters away from the door. No one is allowed to come near." Hearing this, two guards stepped forward and opened the large, heavy door. A strong fragrance of incense sticks wafted out from inside. Damodar took Abhinav inside the hall. Inside, there were many memorials all around. As Abhinav looked around, he realized that the entire history of his family was present in this room. In olden times, when the Garhwal family lived in the Mewar region of Rajasthan, there were memorials of their ancestors from that time, and details about them were written. However, as he moved forward, he learned that their history was also connected to the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand state in India, from where their ancestors first migrated to Rajasthan and then settled in Canada. However, the hall was so large and there were so many people's memorials that if he spent a whole day and night there, he would only then be able to read the entire history. Here, Damodar took him to the innermost part of the hall. Finally, he stopped at a place where a very newly made memorial was visible. Its design was very modern and grand compared to all the other memorials. It was made in a pyramid shape, with a memorial or picture of a family member on each step. Garlands of flowers, diyas, and incense sticks were burning in the rain. Damodar, with both hands clasped behind his back, gestured with his eyes forward and said, "Go Abhinav, place your mother's memorial at the very top, in the center, that's its rightful place." Abhinav looked up at the largest and grandest memorial at the very top of the pyramid, and for a moment, his mouth fell open. He stammered, "This is... this is..." Damodar let out a deep sigh and, smiling, said, "Yes, at Ranjay's suggestion, I had this prepared earlier. To be honest, 20 years ago, when I was taking the throne, I knew very well that this throne belonged not to me, but to your father Sanjay. But due to family pressure and my personal aspirations, I did not question the decision of Amma Ji and the other family members. But Sanjay was the greatest leader of our generation. If he had sat on the family throne, perhaps we would have reached even greater heights today. Go, place your mother's memorial next to your father's." Abhinav was completely speechless at this moment. Although he had planned to build his father's memorial when he officially took the throne, Ranjay and Damodar had already done this work. What would happen now? Would Abhinav finally be able to forgive Damodar? Or would Damodar continue to test Abhinav by rubbing him on a whetstone? Would Amma Ji and her supporters accept the decision to build Vidya and Sanjay's memorials, or was a major conflict brewing in the Garhwal family over this issue? To know more, keep listening. The memorial, made of white marble, had a picture of Sanjay from his youth. Along with real gold plating, many things and achievements about him were written. Abhinav became very emotional at this moment. He lowered his gaze to the square stone he held in his hand and said, "Mother, we have finally returned home. Our family is united once again. You, me, and Father." His voice trembled as he said this. All the pain, sorrow, and resentment suppressed in his chest were finally coming out. Abhinav slowly climbed the pyramid stairs and placed Vidya's memorial next to Sanjay's memorial. After that, he lit two diyas and incense sticks and placed them in front. Then, he knelt down, joined his hands, and said tearfully, "Father, the promise I made to you. I have fulfilled it. I hope, I hope I have lived up to your expectations." Saying this, he touched his head to the ground and sat there for a while. However, at that moment, Damodar said in a heavy voice, "Revenge is not yet complete, Abhinav. You have won the family throne and brought honor to your parents. But the injustice done to them, the revenge for that is yet to come. The culprits must be punished. Your fight is only half over. And the other half is yet to come." Damodar had a great guilt in his heart for not helping Abhinav on time. He muttered softly, "Don't worry, Abhinav. I will help you completely in winning this fight." However, Abhinav did not hear this and stood next to Damodar. Damodar let out a deep sigh and said, "You go outside and wait. Leave me alone with Sanjay and Vidya for a while." The smell of alcohol was coming from Damodar's breath, so Abhinav did not argue and said, "Okay." The next moment, he walked towards the outside. As soon as Abhinav went out and the door closed, Damodar's back suddenly sagged, as if he were a very weak old man. Tears flowed from his eyes, and he fell to his knees with a thud. On the other hand, Abhinav had not gone far from the hall when he saw a man standing there. Abhinav approached with a serious expression and said, "Uncle, what are you doing here?" Saying this, Abhinav rubbed his face, as the effect of the alcohol had not completely worn off. Ranjay handed Abhinav a cigarette pack and said, "Let's talk." "Okay," Abhinav said. After that, they both walked and sat side-by-side on a bench a short distance away. Abhinav took out a cigarette, lit one for Ranjay first, and then for himself. Both sat shoulder to shoulder, smoking in silence. When the cigarettes were half finished, Ranjay broke the silence for the first time and said, "Actually, I am very curious. When did you finally realize that the Ananya living with you was fake? A duplicate?" Hearing this, Abhinav burst out laughing and, while laughing, ran his hands through his hair. His laughter gradually grew louder. Ranjay watched him with great surprise. Now, he rubbed his eyes with his left hand and, still laughing, continued, "Actually, it's a very small thing. Perhaps you won't believe me when I tell you, but I realized it much earlier." "Really? When?" Ranjay asked doubtfully. "Right at the beginning, when we had gone to visit Ontario, and the attacks on me had increased a lot. We were leaving for the airport with a large convoy. Do you remember?" Abhinav said, controlling his laughter. Ranjay nodded in affirmation. Abhinav continued with a smile, "Do you remember that on the way, the car attacked our bus, and then you saved us? Later, when we had moved on, your call came, in which you said to go straight to the airport and not to worry about me. To be honest, at that time, I wasn't sure if anything had happened to you or not. If you were in any danger or not. But my first reaction was to immediately turn the car back to save you. But Hansraj and the others immediately stopped me from doing so." Saying this, Abhinav paused for a moment and then shrugged his shoulders and said, "At that time, when they were trying to stop me, I realized that Ananya's behavior was also somewhat off. Because..." Saying this, he took a deep puff and exhaled, continuing, "At that time, when Ananya, along with Hansraj Ji, was trying to stop me, I was not agreeing at all, and then she... she fell to her knees and begged me not to go." Saying this, Abhinav looked at Ranjay and said, "And as much as I know Ananya, she would never fall to her knees and beg me. It's not that I don't make mistakes. I have made mistakes many times, or made rash decisions that she doesn't like. She has tried to stop me many times. But if I decide to do something even once, then there are only two options. Either she will slap me and order me to stop, or she will silently agree with my decision and support me. She is sometimes quiet, sometimes angry. But she will never try to stop me by falling at my feet. She is not that kind of indecisive girl." Hearing this, Ranjay's face stiffened. Many emotions were churning in his heart. He slowly dropped the cigarette butt and lit another one, taking a long drag. For a long time, neither of them said anything. When Ranjay's second cigarette was also finished, he looked up at the starry sky and said, "You little rascal, you are truly something. I had planned everything so carefully. After all the calculations, I never thought that my entire plan would be exposed from the very beginning." Abhinav said with a very calm expression, "It's not your fault. It's just that I know Ananya so well that I was bound to find out. Besides, when you love someone very much, you remember their every habit, big or small, and if you feel even a slight change, it feels very strange. Everything looks out of place. This is a feeling that only someone who has truly loved someone with all their heart can understand. Saying this, Abhinav looked intently into Ranjay's eyes and said, "And Uncle, I am absolutely sure that you can understand this feeling too, right?" Hearing this, a look of panic suddenly spread across Ranjay's face. But the next moment, he controlled his expression and said in a flustered manner, "Ah, you are absolutely right." However, Abhinav had not noticed this strange change in Ranjay's behavior. Abhinav continued, "And as for switching Ananya, you probably did it when that sniper attacked us in the Ontario hospital, due to which Kabir, Hansraj Ji, and I were trapped in one room, and in another room, four killers entered and injured Vani. I have thought about this many times in the past, and I realized that was the only opportunity where you could have switched Ananya." "Yes," Ranjay said calmly, and then changing the subject, he said, "But how did Hansraj know all this?" Now that Ranjay was sitting alone with Abhinav, he began to openly ask all his doubts. He had planned this deadly game for a long time. This was the only way he could help Abhinav win this competition and also keep his loved ones safe. As for Ananya, Ranjay understood from his interactions with Abhinav that she was his biggest weakness, and most importantly, all of Abhinav's enemies knew this very well. Ranjay knew that if anyone touched Ananya during Damodar's birthday, Abhinav might go into beast mode again and cause destruction everywhere, and at such a sensitive moment, Ranjay did not want to take any risks, as many top leaders and businessmen from around the world were present. Ranjay wanted Abhinav's election to go smoothly in front of everyone. Therefore, switching Ananya with Natasha seemed like the best option to Ranjay. But he did not expect Abhinav to see through his plan so easily. Abhinav explained with a smile, "When we were staying in the bamboo courtyard in the backyard of The Crown Club, you sent me the Gita to read during that time. In those days, Ananya started behaving very strangely. It seemed like she was desperate to sleep with me. Whereas the Ananya I know would never think of such a thing in her grief over losing her child. Even then, I could have exposed the fake Ananya. But I wasn't entirely sure if you were on my side or playing some other game. So, I decided to become a player in your game and quietly played my part. During that time, under the guise of reading the Gita, I used to call Hansraj Ji alone in the room many times. It was then that I told Hansraj Ji the whole truth." Hearing this, Ranjay was surprised. He strained his mind and remembered that they were trapped in the bamboo courtyard and enemies were attacking them there. However, the exact scenario was very hazy in his memory. Ranjay muttered with a sad expression, "This means I wasn't playing with you, you were playing with me." "Yes. In the end, I became the joker." "No, I wouldn't say that, Uncle," Abhinav said, shrugging his shoulders, and continued, "At that time, all your attention was on me, and I had nothing to do. So, I was also watching you. I couldn't expose this secret myself, so for Ananya's safety, I involved Hansraj Ji in this game so that he could conduct his own investigation. Yes, but in this chess game, I would say our match was a tie. My move, Hansraj Ji entered the field and gave me this advantage." "You rascal!" Ranjay laughed and gave Abhinav a strong pat on the back. After that, looking at Abhinav with admiration, he said, "When it comes to strategy and future planning, you are truly Sanjay's son. He was just like you. It was just bad luck that due to such cunning, I lost to your father 20-25 years ago, and today I am losing to you again." However, there was no resentment in Ranjay's voice as he said this, but rather an emotion, an appreciation for Abhinav's capability. People often say that one's experience can be judged by their age, but there was a significant age gap between Abhinav and Ranjay. Despite that, Abhinav had grasped all of Ranjay's plans. But Ranjay had not grasped that Abhinav knew everything. Ranjay let out a deep sigh and, placing his hand on Abhinav's shoulder, said, "Then tell me, when did you realize that the one behind the mask was none other than me?" Abhinav looked at Ranjay and smiled but did not answer. Instead, changing the subject, he said, "Forget all that, Uncle. But tell me, today was Damodar Uncle's birthday celebration. He is the head of the family. Moreover, all the prominent businessmen and politicians from around the world were present. Then why was the security so weak at such a grand event?" "Yes, the security was weak. Who told you that?" Ranjay said, shaking his head. He continued, "It seems you are judging the whole situation without knowing it. You are only seeing the enemies you saw attacking the venue. But the truth is much bigger than that. Damodar had deployed special security teams around all eight mountains surrounding Garhwal State. I received reports every moment. Rivers of blood flowed on the other side of all the hills, my boy. Although that's another matter, no one found out. Many enemy fighter jets and helicopters were traced and destroyed in the air. But the enemy forces were so numerous that despite such strong security arrangements, some people managed to get inside, whom you eliminated." Hearing this, Abhinav was shocked. What would happen now? Why had Ranjay come out of Black Prison after 20 years to help Abhinav? What was his grand plan? Did Abhinav have to fulfill Ranjay's destiny? Would Adhiraj and Pukhraj return and accept Abhinav's rule? To know more, keep listening. Indeed, he had only seen those enemies who had entered the banquet hall to attack, and seeing enemies enter like this, anyone would think that the security was very weak. However, when Ranjay told the truth, Abhinav was shaken from within. He now understood how deadly the situation could have been. If so many enemies had entered at once, perhaps many of his friends and family members would have lost their lives. Then Ranjay took out a cigarette, lit it, and blew smoke into the air, saying, "And yes, the most important thing is, when there are traitors within the family, what can security do? If they didn't have the support of those inside, these enemies from outside could never have gotten in." Hearing this, Abhinav was utterly shocked. His eyes widened, and he asked, "What are you talking about? Who can betray the family on such an important occasion?" Ranjay narrowed his eyes and said, "Look, technically, it can't be called betrayal. But yes, negligence in security was deliberate." Saying this, a big smile spread across his face, and he continued, "Amma Ji, besides this old woman, who else could it be?" Or should I say, Leela Garhwal?" Abhinav looked at him in surprise and said, "What? Is that Amma Ji's real name?" Ranjay smiled and said, "She got this name after marriage. Her real name is Leela Chingawat." "What?" Abhinav exclaimed in shock. Suddenly, it was as if a huge bomb exploded in his mind. For a moment, he stared at Ranjay's face in shock. He didn't know what to do for a long time. He was thinking thousands of things in his mind but couldn't speak. His whole body was burning with anger. Ranjay placed his hand on his shoulder and said, "Yes. I don't know the exact relation between Indira and Amma Ji, but it's certain that they were in the same family before marriage, and by this relationship, they are sisters. Amma Ji and Indira are sisters, and both are from the Chingawat family." Abhinav was in shock. He knew that if Ranjay was telling him this now, there must be a deep meaning behind it. He said to himself, "If Amma Ji really knows Indira, then perhaps she arranged for Indira and Purush and Rekula to enter the banquet." Suddenly, everything became clear to Abhinav. Ranjay laughed and said, "Yes, although you shouldn't forget Adhiraj. As far as I know, Drakula and his associates came at Adhiraj's behest. Besides that, some people from the Royal Black Guards were also present. However, during the party, I felt that Amma Ji and Adhiraj were operating separately, so their plans were not synchronized. But if they had planned this attack together, perhaps the result would have been different." Hearing this, Abhinav clenched his fists in anger. Abhinav had crossed swords with Adhiraj twice, so he knew that Adhiraj was not a good person. Moreover, Adhiraj was a cruel man who, if given the chance, could brutally kill Abhinav as well as his entire family. But still, compared to Amma Ji, he had some honor. A passion, some values for which he was fighting. But Amma Ji's actions were completely filled with meanness and depravity. Abhinav's blood boiled at the thought of Amma Ji. Moreover, Amma Ji being among the traitors was even more terrifying for Abhinav. Because as the elder of the family, Damodar often had to be helpless before her and accept her decisions. In such a situation, if a traitor held such high authority, then in the coming times, living in the Garhwal family could be as dangerous for Abhinav as living with a poisonous snake. This was also a threat to the security of the entire Garhwal family. Seeing Abhinav's anger, Ranjay said, "That old woman is not as simple as she looks." Saying this, he took a deep puff and continued, "I don't know if Damodar told you this or not, but when she was a very young teenager, at a party like this, a senior member of our Garhwal family, who was your grandfather by relation, forced himself on Amma Ji while drunk." Taking a pause, Ranjay continued, "The Shringavat family had less status than insects compared to the Garhwal family. So, they could not do anything against the Garhwal family. Instead, to save their honor and increase the family's prestige, Amma Ji's family members got Amma Ji married to that man." However, a hatred for your grandfather and the Garhwal family forever settled in Amma Ji's heart. She never let your grandfather touch her again. But already, Shekhar was in her womb. Ranjay threw the cigarette butt down and continued, "Amma Ji tried her best for him to die in the womb, but he was born. However, Shekhar's one eye was damaged at birth, so he could not sit on the family throne either, because people believe that a disabled person can never be the face of the Garhwal family. Because of this, Amma Ji's hatred intensified even more. But at that time, no one thought that Amma Ji would be so dangerous. Her stubbornness would be so strong that she would wait until old age to take her revenge. In our family, seniority is highly respected. The older one is, the more authority they get. And then, one by one, all the people of Amma Ji's age passed away. But Amma Ji is still here today. And even today, she holds such great authority in choosing the next family leader. She once got your father removed from the family by deceit, and this time she was trying to remove you as well." Abhinav had heard this story from Hansraj before, but hearing it again with details made the impact different. The connection of Amma Ji with the Singh family, the Shringavat family, all these added new meaning to the story. Ranjay continued with a smile, "Someone rightly said that every dog has its day. At one time, Amma Ji had no more status than a maid in the house. Even your grandfather, when forced to marry Amma Ji, did not even look at her due to guilt. So, other family members also did not respect Amma Ji. But look today, she holds the most authority in the entire family. Do you know why?" Abhinav shook his head. Ranjay said, "Because Amma Ji has become a sacred symbol of the Garhwal family. Do you know what people say about Amma Ji? That she worships Lord Buddha for 10 hours a day. Despite being the eldest member of the richest family in the world, she lives a very simple life. People see Amma Ji as a saint. But now the problem is that this symbol of the Garhwal family is itself trying to destroy the Garhwal family. And we cannot do anything about it." Ranjay continued with a smile, "If any other elder of the family were alive instead of Amma Ji, perhaps the story would have been different. Perhaps Sanjay would not have had to leave home. Perhaps he would not have lost his life. Perhaps you would not have grown up in an orphanage. Perhaps..." Saying this, he suddenly fell silent. A sense of fatigue and helplessness was evident in Ranjay's voice. Abhinav had never imagined that even a powerful man like Ranjay would utter such defeated words. But at this moment, a tsunami of emotions was raging in Abhinav's heart. Ranjay's few words had given him a lot of information about Amma Ji. Amma Ji, who entered the Garhwal family with a tag of shame, who lived her whole life in fear. Who knew how much hatred for the entire family was filled in such a woman's heart. Abhinav said to himself, "If Amma Ji has truly suffered so much, then perhaps she has become completely mentally unstable. A person who has been sold to her enemy by her own family cannot be trusted at all. If it were up to Amma Ji, she would burn this entire family to ashes. Expecting loyalty from Amma Ji for the family is useless. And now, with her connections to the Singh family and the Shringavat family revealed, Amma Ji cannot be trusted at all." Then Abhinav let out a deep sigh and asked, "So, is there no other way to deal with Amma Ji?" At this moment, there was a fierce glint in his eyes, as if he had made a firm decision in his heart. But then Ranjay shook his head helplessly and said, "No, what you are thinking, your Uncle Damodar and I have thought about many times before. But she is the only surviving elder of our family. Thousands of people look at her with hopeful eyes. She has invested in many charitable trusts, orphanages, and public service initiatives. Therefore, a large part of the family supports Amma Ji, and we cannot destabilize the entire family by killing Amma Ji. Yes, but if we can make Amma Ji look bad in the eyes of everyone, then perhaps people won't care about her death." Ranjay's last sentence started a new chain of thought in Abhinav's mind. What would happen now? Is Amma Ji really colluding with the Singh family? Are Indira and Amma Ji sisters? Will Amma Ji, along with the Singh family, destroy Abhinav and the entire Garhwal family this time? What secrets are still hidden in the history of the Garhwal family? To know more, keep listening.
