"Bas bachcha, don't cry please my jaan" Rey worriedly consoling him. "Abhi tumne galat nhi kiya haan…. Kyun torture kar rhe ho Daya ko jab tumhara masoom dil she nhi paa rha, don't hurt yourself" listening to Rey, Abhijeet cried vigorously as somewhere Rey touched his heart's inner voice.
"I hate him bhaiya, I hate him, uske baap ki wajah se main prostitute…. Nafrat karta hoon main Daya se, I hate him" Abhijeet chocked while crying.
Rey kept rubbing his back letting his jaan venting all the pain and hurt on his shoulder. He remembered doctor's saying that Abhijeet must let out his whole pain of past to recover slightly and this is the first time in a long duration that Abhijeet was venting his pain.
It's a very hectic day for Daya from the next morning, he had to wash and iron the previous day's four sets of dress of Abhijeet, dusting and mobbing his room, rearrange the file and books in his study room, serve the meals on exact time as its hard for him to learn the dishes so early, brooming the dead leaves and dust from the glass house. These are almost impossible for one person to complete all these tasks every single day. Abhijeet has removed all the other assigned staffs working on these. So, Daya alone had to do work of four staffs. This is rather punishment then work. The staffs were pitied on him struggling and exhausted and drained due to overwork but bounded by Abhijeet's order not to help him.
At the end of the tiring and exhausting day, Daya have no idea when he drifted into deep sound sleep due to complete drained out and aching body. Someone entered his room and placed the pain relief balm secretly on his side table gazing him while sleeping. That person leaned closer to Daya's sleeping face and losingly in emotions about to sided the hair flicks that rested on the eyebrows but something stopped him doing this and he reversed his hesitating hand back and left after a deep sigh.
For a week, this process continuous and Daya's body got completely drained out and exhausted from these daily tasks when in frustration and rage he threw the belongings on floor cursing Abhijeet determinedly as, "That's it Abhijeet, tumhara gulaam nhi bane rehna chahta main, you've to pay for this, be ready for tomorrow"
The next day, there was a meeting with investor for prospective deal, so Rey reached the investors office with full preparation and as he entered the conference meeting room, he sighed annoyingly having Danil already presented there. He made a disgusting and frustrated face and bump onto chair banging the file on table.
"Preparation pe confidence nhi hai yam era face kuch jyaada pasand aa gya" Danil teased pocking at Rey.
"Seriously ek deal toh bina tumhare contribution ke grab karne do ya haarne ki aadat ho chuki hai mujhse" Rey taunted giving a rivalry attitude.
"Tum…." Danil provoked angrily but controlled himself as the investor showed up.
"Hello Mr. Reyansh, hello Mr. Danil pleased to meet you I hope it will be a great opportunity" the investor greeted them.
"Of course, I make assure 'The Royal Casino' will not disappoint you" Rey assured him.
"And I make sure, we will provide you great service and more profitable" Danil countered with confidence.
Investor chuckled, "you two are famous for your rivalry just not like that" he placed his arms on table, "I have a suggestion why don't you both merge for this deal"
"NO WAY!" both screamed in unison making the investor startled by this.
"Fine, relax!" investor came out of shock, "I will review these quotations till then make yourself comfortable in waiting lounge"
Rey and Danil approached to terrace area of the floor when Rey rested his body on the boundary to enjoy the top view while Danil was sitting on the bench. The aura was in complete silence when Danil broke the silence approaching towards Rey, "Mr. Mehta ki deal ke baad mujhe nhi lagta tumhe yeh five crore ki deal mein koi khaas interest hai" Danil poked in grudge, "Mujhse phir se haraane ke liye apply kiya hai na tumne"
"I am the boss of this Casino Industry, bas tumse milne ka dil kiya toh apply kar diya, wo kya hai tumhe koi deal itni easily milte dekh nhi sakta main" Rey revoked in enemy attitude countered back Danil's grudge.
"Tum bilkul nhi badle Rey, aaj bhi wahi king and bossy attitude hai jo six years phle tha" Danil's meaningful phrase silenced Rey. When Danil sighed and stated meaningfully, "Tum wo sab bhool nhi sakte kya, uss incident ko 6 saal ho gye tum…"
But Rey in extreme anger grabbed Danil's collar while tightening the fists to refrain himself from punching him back. He leaned closer to Danil glaring him with fuming eyes. "Don't provoke me Danil, warna main bhool jaaunga iss waqt tum sirf mere business competitor ho, humaare beech sirf ek hi Rishta tha, hai, aur rahega dushmani ka. Aur haan next time se agar Abhi ke kareeb bhi dikhe then I'll kill you"
Here in Raichand mansion, when cook asked Daya to serve lunch to Abhijeet, he gave a grin and secretly mixed some powder in broth and serve Abhijeet. Later on, Abhijeet in bathroom breathing heavily and unevenly holding himself with support of washbasin. His face and palm had swelled up and got redden. His throat was choking and was vomiting vigorously. Staff ran for help him while he collapsed on the floor with a thud.
On Rey side, Danil jerked Rey's hand in hatred and revoked back in full attitude and hatred, "You missed a chance Rey, now wait for my turn, Abhijeet tumhari weakness hai and unfortunately rivalry professional ho ya personal, I love to play with weakness"
Rey with boiling rage about to throw a punch on him when received a call, hearing which his whole expression changed from anger to tension and panic. He hurriedly leaving from there when Danil confusingly stopped him, "Rey where? And deal?"
"Congratulation from my side for grabbing this investment" Rey sarcastically complimented him and rushed from there.
