Soumyajit has reached the place where that dreadful incident took place.
Aditya was still sitting in the side of the cliff.
He was staring down at the river.
"Aditya," Soumyajit called his name but he didn't respond
He shook him but no response.
The police have arrived on the spot. They tried to find mahi or her body but got nothing.
"Mr Ghosh we tried to find Mrs Sengupta's body but we found nothing. We only got a scarf that has blood on it. I think her dead body has flow with the river," the inspector said
"We had checked the cc TV footage of this area. Mr Sengupta tried to save her but she left his hand. Its a case of suicide." another one replied
Soumyajit only nodded towards them.
He can't break down not now he has to be strong. He knows that his sister is gone because no one can be alive after falling from this height.
"Aditya come we need to go," Soumyajit said
"I killed her," it's the first thing he uttered
"you didn't she herself took her life and the reason is me and my idiotic words. I killed my sister with my words. Her body has fallen on the river but her heart has died in my words. She got freedom, Aditya. Freedom from this painful life." Soumyajit said as tears make their appearance
"what should I say to you when I'm the culprit as well? You were blinded by lies and I was blinded by my own. We both are her culprits I can't punish you because then who will punish me?" he added
He is trying hard to be calm but from inside he is devastated. His little sister is gone only because of him.
" You don't know soumyajit what I did with her. If you knew you would have killed me by your own hands. I didn't kill her body but I killed her soul. I crushed her hopes, dreams and most importantly her heart." Aditya said still there is no tears present
Soumyajit knows he did many things with Mahi when she said Ratri is successful in her plan that confirms it.
How can and will he punish adi? When he is also the reason behind his sister's misery?
He drags him towards the car and took him back.
All the way he was uttering only one thing "I killed her"
When they reached the Ghosh mansion.
Mia Came as fast she can towards soumyajit.
"where is she? How is she?" Mia asked him
Jhilik also came behind her
"answer me, Dadabhai? Where is my boudibhai?" Mia screamed
"We lost her Minerva, she is no more, she commits suicide," soumyajit drop the bomb
Mia looked at him in shock. She prayed that its a prank and he will bring mahi.
Jhilik started to laugh suddenly.
All heads turn towards her.
"what? What are you looking at me? Did she commit suicide? Bull s**t. You all killed her. You her dearest Dadabhai killed her. He her love of life killed her. From her childhood, she only wanted some love. She craved for it. You know whenever I told her to tell you about what your witch of a mother does to her she always said that no I don't want to create problems between them.
You know what just read her dairies you will get to know how my friend my sister suffered because of you all. "Jhilik said with tears
Her eyes are red in anger mixed with pain.
" Jhilik is right we killed her. I'm also a part of this. I also never know what is happening to her. I took her silent behaviour as her shy nature. She never let me read her diary. Always she hides it. I should have talked to her despite her refusal." Mia said crying
" you both are right. "Aditya said
" punish me, Mia, for hurting your boudibhai, punish me Jhilik for hurting your friend," Aditya said
Still, he didn't shed a single tear.
" punish? Who we are to punish you? The one who could is not here anymore and it's your biggest punishment. She died but you will live. You will live with this guilt that you killed an innocent soul. For others, it may be a suicide but for me you killed her. "Jhilik said
" You want punishment right? I will punish you. From today you have no sister. Your sister died for you and for me my Dadabhai died with my boudibhai. I have no relationships with you, "Mia screamed
Ira, Ajay and Bharat also came there.
They all were shocked by all the things going around.
Ajay slapped his son uncountable times.
He slapped him until Ajay himself was tired.
Aditya didn't even flinch.
Ira was crying her heart out and bharat had an Accusing look on his face.
"I can't believe that I give birth to a monster, not a human. You killed an innocent girl. It is our fault that we agreed to let you both get Married. It's our fault that we let you live alone. We are also her culprits. I really hope that I never thought about you both get married, it was better if you have died instead of her," Ajay spat
"Ajay he is our son think before talking. I also loved Mahi as my daughter but it doesn't mean I will pray for my son's death. If in this all drama anyone is the culprit that is Ratri." Ira said
"Ratri how low you can stoop? You accuse my son of being a molester. Because of that, my husband got a heart attack. We hated our own son for this. This is all because of you. You should be inside of a prison or better in some mental asylum." Ira said
"I did whatever was needed to do to make that low life girl's miserable. Her mother was also a b***h so her daughter as well. Tell me boudi what would have you do if Ajay da has cheated on you? If you have to bear his illegitimate child's presence. Calling your mother? For the world, she is your own child but the reality is far away from it? No one can understand my pain all can only accuse me. I have no regret for whatever I did I'm happy that finally, that b***h died. Like her mother died years ago.
Just my one wish didn't fulfil that I could not kill both mother-daughter with my hands but it is OK I killed her mother and saw her dead in front of me. "Ratri said and all looked shocked
Even mainak was shocked this time.
" you are disgusting." Mia spat
" soumyajit sleep it is late, "Mia's voice broke his recalling session
" yeah, "He replied as he wiped his tears
" tomorrow ma has arranged a puja for boudibhai, today is her birthday and... "Mia trailed off
" and her death anniversary I know, "Soumyajit finished
" Why did she left us? "Mia asked as tears make their way
" you have read her dairy, isn't it? You know her life was hell. Maybe she is happy now far from us. Let her be happy, "Soumyajit said and hugged his wife
