" So Keekat explained your past to you", queried Raj.
" Pasts prince Aditya. Remember Tamas", he pointed to himself.
Raj suddenly felt an urge to kill. He quieted the ghost within him.
We will annihilate him Aditya but we need to wait.
" And he warned me of my impeding death at his hands", said Gaurav.
" I searched hard for my mortal enemy but he was always right under my nose hiding under a diguise I never found out", he said.
" Vikram Oberoi", said Kenny.
" Yeah", said a grim faced Gaurav.
" So you pined for Riya right when you met her", asked Kiara earning a frown from Kenny and an icy glare from Raj.
" Nah she was a nobody until I found out about he rebirth and her connection to Gunjan", said Gaurav.
" And when did this happen", asked Raj.
" I was informed about her being near to me. I felt Gunjan's energy in the foundation party and summoned Keekat to spot her. He had already warned me of her rebirth and finding Srikant again", he said.
" So what exactly made you search her", asked Kenny.
" A Prophecy", he replied. "A Fatal Prophecy".
" Prophecy ", thre trio was perplexed.
" Dhara informed Aditi of my I mean Tamas's hand in prince Aditya's death. Aditi foresaw their doom. She in her spirit form visited me and said
Aditi: I will die tomorrow prince but there is a force a power a truthful soul. She will be your destruction one day.
She died the next day. I searched hard for the other person but couldn't find her before Gautam killed me. As Baldev I remained ignorant that Gunjan was my destruction and obsessed about her. It was Aditi's curse. Through Gunjan I faced him again.
" Srikant Pundit", mused Kiara.
" Mortal enemy again", sneered Kenny.
Gaurav nodded.
" He was my friend until she came into picture. I shared my women with him but he refused to share her", he said
" And that hurt your ego", asked Kenny.
" In a way yes. I was the king", he said.
"Srikant killed you", said Kiara.
"He left me to die. I wanted revenge. So I summoned devil. Keekat bought my soul and promised me that he will take Gunjan away from Srikant and he did", said Gaurav
In spite of herself Kenny shivered.
" I became best friends with my mortal enemy. The irony of it all", he said. " Not once but twice ", he said.
" So when did you find about Vikram", asked Raj.
" When I witnessed his nightmare after Riya left him".
Raj remembered that night. Riya had found out he was Ranjeet Singh and left him. He suffered a heart attack. Literally asked for it.
" PUNISH ME SHIVA".
He was immortal so he survived but her rejection caused the heart attack.
" Imagine my shock that day. I would have killed him but Keekat found out the truth", said Gaurav.
Past
" He is an immortal and a powerful elemental. You need those powers to rule the world ".
Present
" The search for sword followed" , said Kenny.
" You know most of it", said Gaurav.
Kenny said nothing. She remembered the pain, the melancholy Riya felt when she became aware of a weapon that could snatch Vicky from her. But Shiva helped in the end and Vicky was saved.
" Let's come to Vinod Joshi", said Raj.
Gaurav nodded.
" It started with him catching Veer Mishra embezzling the funds. He came to me but I was busy with my wedding so he got an independent audit firm", said Gaurav.
" And saw Veer replaced the amount he took within a month but still chunks of money was missing. AND WITH YOUR SIGNATURES ", said Raj smirking. " He cornered Veer and offered him immunity if he helped. You were his best friend. He was in dilemma. His mood and health suffered when he found out your guilt. "
" You are right", said Gaurav.
" How do you know", asked Kiara.
" Miss Deshmukh caught Veer and he confessed to me", said Raj. " That trick of will paid off".
" You are a Machivallean genius", said Gaurav.
Raj shrugged.
" So was Joshi. He left his ID and laptop behind when you caught him", said Raj.
" That proved his innocence to Vicky. And with that with the help of Solly( he was not aware of it) Riya got you. She collected other proofs from the society before Varsha Moolchandani landed on her doorstep. And she got everything from her".
" I never believed Vikram died in that fire", said Gaurav.
" He didn't ", smiled Raj.
" H. how M. Malti", said Kiara.
" Riya again", said Gaurav angrily. " Nosy interfering b*tch. She planted proof in her kitchen storage and she found out. When she called Sharman frantically I heard", he said. " I have to kill her but I really was very sorry. It hurt me. I loved her".
" Some love", sneered Kenny.
" I was shocked at your wedding to him", he pointed to Raj. " Earlier I thought he was a bufoon and decided to ditch Kamini in his favour. She was blackmailing me", he said.
" When did you change your mind", asked Raj.
" Shareholder's meeting. I saw Vikram Oberoi in front of me then. But I lost my hand again when Kenny married you", he said.
" You knew about me", she asked.
" Malti got your horoscope made. It said you will be the key to a strong kingdom and power. I immediately remembered Junagarh. But Kamini was there too. And I have to shield you from her", said Gaurav. " So I laughed it off".
" In the end she married me", said Raj. " Your mortal enemy fulfilling the fatal prophecy that Aditi made".
" I am still very much alive and killing me is impossible ", said Gaurav. " I am a powerful wizard. Ordinary weapons won't touch me".
None of the three spoke of the secret weapon Vicky made. Earlier Raj had warned them to hide their Trump card.
" You harmed Rahul, manipulated Kamini on her suicide mission and attacked the heirs" ", said Kenny.
" Dr. Prakhar recognized me or rather my face. Python's face. While he was informing authorities I overheard him", he said. " He has to die".
" You killed Varsha too and Amar Khurana", said Kenny.
" Pawns should be sacrificed to save the king", shrugged Gaurav. " Enough with the games kids. Keekat will be here soon. Your powers will transfer to me after he kills you", he smirked looking at Raj.
" Your problem is Gaurav", said Raj seriously
" While you think you are genius you think others are fools".
Sudden blasts shook his burrow then.
" What's that", said a horrified Gaurav.
" YOUR DEATH SAYING HELLO", said Raj looking and chuckling like every bit of Devil that he was.
The death has arrived.
