Weekend c@mÂŁ soner than I had expected, I was very nervous and scared.
Siddarth had planed very thing out, his super good at that.
We all left for Malcolm Restaurant, Chief Varma had insisted that we should meet him there instead of coming to his mansion.
The security guard directed us to the parking slot where siddarth parked the car.
âWelcome to Malcolm restaurant, Chief Varma is waitingâ A waitress said beaming.
âFollow meâ she added and left, we all followed suit.
She took us to a well disgned room, Chief Varma and his daughter Andris was alre-ady sitted.
âGood Morning dadâ I greeted bowing, Madem Della and siddarth did same.
âSit….â he said smiling.
We walked to the empty seat before them and sat down.
âIts nice to see you…. Hope you had a safe trip to Mumbaiâ Chief Varma said staring at Madem Della.
âOff course…. Am so happy to finally meet my daughter in-law… How are you doing my dearâ Madem Della asked smiling at Andris whom was shy and blu-shing.
âAm fine mummyâ she replied while pla-ying with her f!nger.
âMy son told me alot about you… And I can alre-ady see it in you my daughter…â Madem Della said.
âThanks mum…â Andris replied.
âSo… I believe your son alre-ady briefed you on what I saidâ Chief Varma said sipping his wine.
âYeah… I also support what you said, its better they do it now, when they are still young and beautifulâ Madem Della said laughing.
âMy thoughts excately… Who is he?â Chief Varma asked pointing at Siddarth.
âOh… He is siddarth my son, Rocky’s elder brotherâ Madem Della said holding siddarth.
âElder brother…. Hmm, that’s good…. I hope we would become best of in-lawsâ he asked.
âOff course sir… Its a great honor being an in-law to chief Kumara Varma the greatâ Siddarth said smiling.
âGreat indeedâ I scoffed.
âThe great… You are funnyâ
âAnyways the wedding would be holding next weekend hope it’s okey by you allâ chief Varma added.
âNext weekend?????â I asked almost shouting.
âYes.. Don’t you like it, My friends as you alre-ady know are busy people so next weekend is the only free time for them… Also I alre-ady informed the priest, changing the d@tÂŁ won’t be a good thingâ he said.
I wanted to object but Madem Della t©uçhed me, giving me a no sign.
âActually… Its perfect… Next weekend it isâ Madem Della said smiling.
âOkey…. I would sÂŁnd the invitations to Rocky, its strictly by invitation I hate nuisanceâ He said.
âExcately….â Madem Della said.
âOkey… Let’s start eating since everything have been settledâ chief Varma said and four waitress entered carrying a tray of food.

I c@mÂŁ home feeling extra angry… Next weekend, that’s too fast.
I slumped into the be-d staring at the celling, the picture of my kid sis appeared in it.
âJust give me a little more time, I promise to get you out of there… Just wait a little longerâ I said.
I sighed…. If getting married to Andris would help me save my sister then so be it.
Besides I don’t plan on ma-king things serious, I would just end everything once am done getting my revenge.
Shaina
I knocked slightly at the door, few minutes later the door cracked open.
Mum was standing infront of the door beaming… âYou didn’t come yesterday as promised Prettiâ Mrs Blake asked.
âYeah… I had a few errand to run for my mumâ I said sitting down.
Well I wasn’t running any errand for me mum, the truth is that I spent the whole of yesterday following Rocky about trying to find out what he was up to.
I didn’t succeed, gosh the guy is damn good at hiding things and I doubt if Chief Varma would find out about his true identity and intention for his daughter.
âyou are such a nice girl Pretti… Your mum must be happy to have youâ Mrs Blake said.
âOff course she isâ I said staring at her, I know she miss me, I know she wish I never died but what am I going to do.
I was killed by evil men… I have never hurted someone, I wonder why I went throu-gh that horrible experience.
As little as I was then, they didn’t even have pity on me… If only the deity would grant me the favor of meeting my killer…
Even if its just once… I would ask him why he did all these, why he allowed me pas-s throu-gh such pain.
I would ask him why he killed me, I would ask him the crime I committed that so much deserved death.
âAnyways I made homemade sweets… Do you want someâ Mrs Blake snapped me out of my thought.
I smiled trying to hide the tears in my eyes âYes….â I said nodding.
She excused herself and entered the kitchen to get the homemade sweets.
I looked round the house, since mum once investigated Mr Phogat’s death am sure she has some evidence here.
Am not br@gging but my mum is really good in investigating crimes, she has never lost before.. Well aside from Mr Phogat’s case.
I heard footsteps and raised my head to see mum carrying a plate filled with homemade sweets.
âHere it is darling… Enjoyâ she said dropping the plate before me.
âThanks….â I said and began to eat.
She picked up the remote control and started checking the Channels… She got to a p@rticular news channel and st©pped.
âThe wicked keep enjoyingâ she said dropping the remote control.
I glanced at the television set.. it was displa-ying the news about Chief Varma’s daughters marriage, that’s Andris and Rocky…
âWhat do you mean by the wickedâ I asked… I nee-d to gather as many information as possible from her, it would help you in st©pping Rocky.
âIts actually a long story my dear… Too long for me to start telling you nowâ I sighed feeling really down.
She hissed staring at the television.
âI guess he must have done something really terrible to youâ I said.
âMuch worst than terrible…. If only the dead revenge… Chief Varma would be in a hell lot of troubleâ she said.
I stared at her wondering what she meant by that, I shifted my gaze to the television, it was displa-ying Rocky and Andris ph0to.
âIf only Chief Varma knows what awaits himâ I shaked my head negatively.
I won’t blame Rocky… He wants to avenge his parents death but how sure is he that Chief Varma actually killed his parents.
Even if he is the one that killed his parents, we should leave all judgment to the deity…. We shouldn’t put law into our lands and kill people.
For the mistakes they might have repented from.
I glanced at mum, she was still staring at the television, I sighed shoving her words off my mind.
I should be thinking of how to get my mission right, not how to make the dead revenge.

Cee-câïž
Everywhere was filled with respected men and women… sÂŁnators, president, governors, people from far and near.
It was Rocky and Andris wedding ceremony, Chief Varma had invited all his friends, business as-sociate from far and near.
The stage was beautifully decorated with alot of flowers, The priests were all presÂŁnt waiting for the guests to arrive.
Television stations were at work… Videoing everything that was happening, the wedding was showing live in five different television stations, since it was strictly by invitation.. Chief Varma made sure to show the word what his daughters wedding looked like throu-gh the television.
A beautiful chariot entered the venue… The door opened and Emperor Bhalladev stepped down dressed as the king he was.
Chief Varma hvgged him as they exchanged plea-santries… They both walked into the reception together.
The Bride Andris was on the best outfit… She was surrounded by maids whom made sure she was looking good.
Andris was staring into thin air, one could easily notice she wasn’t happy.
The Groom Rocky was also on his best outfit…. Siddarth and Madem Della was the only one with him.
The ceremony started few minutes after the speculated time…. The Bride and the groom c@mÂŁ out of their awaiting room.
The priest began the wedding ceremony, after a few minutes it was all over and Rocky and Andris bec@mÂŁ couple.
It was then time for celebr@tion and congrating the newly wedded couple.
đżEMPEROR BHALLADEVđż
I sat close to Chief Varma feeling quite nervous…. Really nervous.
Chief Varma is the only one in the entire universe that am afraid of, he helped me in killing my elder brother thereby putting me on the throne.
I received the invitation for his daughters wedding two days ago and he made it clear that I must be presÂŁnt unless he would put an end to my rule.
I obliged to come… I can’t imagine seeing myself as a commoner that is if Chief Varma won’t kill me.
âHope you are enjoying your throneâ he asked smiling.
âOff course…. Its the best thing that has ever happened to meâ I replied.
âYour son in-law is really handsome…. I guess your daughter loves him so muchâ I added.
âOff course…. Anyways how is your son, I heard you conquered Malawi why?” He asked.
My heart missed a beat… How do I tell him that the boy he gave to me fifteen years ago to kill actually escaped and he is no where to be found.
No… How do I tell him that I actually kept the boy alive instead of killing him like I was ordered to.
âYou look shattered, is anything the matter?” He asked again.
âNo… Am fineâ I tried my best not to stammer.
âOkey…. Just make sure your son rule well in Malawiâ he said.
I exhaled de-eply feeling relived thank God he didn’t ask more question concerning the reason I conquered Malawi.
âlet me introduce you to my son in-lawâ he said standing up, I did same and we walked towards where his son in-law was seated with his daughter.
đ„Dđ„
Throu-gh out the wedding, my main concern was seeing my sister, knowing how she was faring.
Well from the look of things, she looked okey although she was still going throu-gh inner pain.
She was beautiful dressed and she posed as Chief Varma’s mistress.
Alot of guest c@mÂŁ… Chief Varma sure have alot of evil people behind him.
The place was beautiful decorated and there was enough to eat and drink.
I noticed Chief Varma coming towards me, he was coming along with someone that looked somehow familiar to me.
He was putting on a royal germet like that of a king, he was also holding a royal staff.
I kept staring at them as they were coming closer.
Just then it hitted me… Emperor Bhalladev…. How did he get here… How.
I tried to hide my face but then I remembered I was having a different face.
âSon meet my very good friend, Emperor Bhalladev from Chennaiâ Chief Varma said smiling.
âI have heard so much about you… I hope you take care of our princessâ Emperor Bhalladev said.
âI will…â I simply said, trying to change my voice but it was a little difficult to do.
âYour voice sounds so familiar… Have we meetâ he asked staring at me.
âMeet… I doubtâ I stuttered.
âHmm… But I have a feeling I have heard your voice somewhereâ he said thinking.
I laughed trying to sound normal to avoid any suspicion.
âYou haven’t meet my son in-law Bhalladev…â Chief Varma said withdrawing us from the hand shake which was now ma-king me uncomfortable.
âI presume…. Anyways happy married lifeâ he said.
âThank youâ I said and they left… I exhaled quietly âThat was closeâ I sighed.
To Be Continued…….
