Hate Story—the whole story of MRP (Part 5)

Hate Story—the whole story of MRP (Part 5)

Ranjit entered his hotel room quietly and placed the money in a duffel bag. He then called Meena and realized that she was taking a shower. Seeing the opportunity he took the champagne bottle from the fridge and made 2 glasses. He put a tablet in one of them and waited for Meena to come. He was in a cheerful mood and was already drinking his glass when Meena came. He said today he felt like celebrating so had taken out the champagne. He offered Meena the other glass and told her to drink it. Meena didn’t feel like drinking it, but didn’t want Ranjit’s mood to be spoilt, she thought wasn’t he the Man she wanted to be with for the rest of her life.  She felt dizzy after drinking and said to Ranjit, “honey I don’t feel good, was the champagne alright? Ranjit said, “Oh don’t worry dear it’s not the champagne, it’s the poison”.

Meena felt as if her eyes were popping out of her socket. She didn’t know if this was because of the poison or because of what Ranjit just said. Ranjit saw the expression on Meena’s face. He said, “yes bitch, I poisoned you. What did you think, I would live with a wreak like you for the rest of my life? You were nothing more than a toy for me. I wanted the money, so had to stick with you for so long. Now I will get the money and return to Mumbai as if nothing happened. Sanjana will think I was on an extended tour and all this 60 lakhs would be mine. Meena could not believe what Ranjit was saying, she said, “But I loved you”. To which Ranjit retorted, “and I loved your money”.

Just then the door flung open and Mayuri entered in. She saw Meena on the floor and realized she was too late. She said, “you bastard” and shot 2 bullets right on to Ranjit’s stomach. Ranjit all this while was too stunned to do anything, he had never imagined Mayuri would be here. Ranjit stumbled to the floor, but he was still alive. Regaining his senses he threw a knife at Mayuri. It struck Mayuri in the heart. As a reflex action she shot another bullet, this time it went through Ranjit’s head. Ranjit was dead and so were Meena and Mayuri.  

Paper clipping of a newspaper 1 year later:

Lotus Triple Murder Case Closed Today

Delhi: Triple murder that happened in Lotus last year came to a close today. After much investigation it was learnt that 2 of the victims Ranjit Surti and Meena Coorg were living in the hotel since a week or so. On the said date, Ranjit had come to room with money in his bag. Then he had a fight with Meena. As per the eyewitnesses after 5-10 minutes the 3rd victim Mayuri Rasik came in carrying a revolver and saw Ranjit with Meena. Infuriated she 1st poisoned Meena and then shot Ranjit. In retaliation Ranjit threw a knife at Mayuri which punctured her heart. In the mishap all three of them died. It was learnt that Mayuri had aquintance with Ranjit in the past and that she was raped by him. This also explains the suicide of her husband Harshwardhan. Police found a suicide note from Mayuri’s house which they suspect was of Harshwardhan's. It was this note which helped police in knowing about Mayuri’s rape. The case is clearly that of revenge as have been proved by the evidences. The money which was found on the murder site has been returned to Mr Piyush Bhansali, who is the divorced husband of the victim.

Epilogue

  

(10 years later and counting…..)

Sanjana: Ranjit, Mayuri, come down breakfast is ready.

Ranjit: Coming, give us a sec.

Piyush: Honey have you seen my socks? I cannot find them.

Sanjana: Look in the 2nd drawer dear they are there.

Ranjit, Meena: good morning, dad, good morning mom.

Sanjana: Good morning angels, now have your breakfast or you will be late for school

Ranjit: Mom, I wanted to ask you something

Sanjana: Yes dear

Ranjit: You know Sameer? The other day he was saying brothers and sisters have similar names or names starting with same alphabets. But how come we have such different names Ranjit and Meena.

Meena: yeah mom why is that?

Sanjana and Piyush throw a knowing glance at each other.

Piyush: hey champ you are growing up pretty fast, aren’t you?

Sanjana, stroking the hair of Ranjit: We will tell you when you grow up a bit dear

Ranjit: But when mom?

Piyush: Pretty soon champ, but not today, bcoz today you are going to be late for school. 

Now pack your bags and come.

Ranjit, Meena and Piyush bid farewell to Sanjana.

Sanjana to Piyush: Do call me honey when you reach office.

Piyush: yeah sure dear.

Piyush could not believe he could love someone so much as he loved Sanjana. Their courtship had blossomed after the deaths of their respective spouses.

One evening both of them had went to Mayuri’s grave. Sanjana couldn’t keep her tears back, but it was Piyush who consoled her. She looked at him in the eye and thought here is a man who has had the same kind of loss that I suffered, no one would be able to understand me better than him. Piyush was thinking the same thing. For the 1st time in his life he wanted to protect a woman from the world itself. He knew he would not be able to live without her.  A week later they both got married.

When their 1st son was born their happiness doubled. Sanjana persuaded Piyush to name their son Ranjit. Piyush was against it at first, but Sanjana convinced him that it was her way to make peace with her past. It was not until they named their second daughter Meena that Piyush understood what Sanjana meant.

From there onwards there has been no looking back. Piyush and Sanjana have as much been in love as 2 people could possibly have been. Together they are looking at a bright future for them, surrounded by happiness and peace.
