When It Rains

Heavy Rain

Then he showed that video to Uma and Madhav. This time Anand wanted to die. He was losing his control and his mind. He wanted to kill Sathyan. He was trying to jump towards him. But unexpectedly Uma started laughing. She laughed like insane. She laughed while seeing the video. For her it was a comedy. But Sathyan didn't understand , Why she was laughing?

"You are failed...You are failed.... You said my Asokettan is no more...Then you cannot succeed anymore. You failed. You demon...We the blood of Gopala Menon , very much recognize our own man and woman. We never touch the forbidden one even if we are unconscious. You lost the game..."

She laughed again... She couldn't stop her laugh.

Now everybody stopped crying and stared Uma.

Why she is laughing?

Sathyan stared at her. At first he thought, she was talking insanely. But, now he smells something fishy in her laugh. What is it? Yes, she is stable. There is a reason to her laugh.

Sathyan asked her, "Hey crazy woman, why are you laughing? stop nonsense."

"You should stop your nonsenses first. You already lost. You cannot prove the main point you wanted to show the world, that men in my family have forbidden relation with own sisters. You cannot prove it in your life. Because, My father's sister already died, Asokettan died. And we three sisters have no sons. Only Asokettan have this son. But you cannot prove that he slept with his sister. You are a fool. You devil, you cannot win. You will not be even in this match". Uma again and again laughed.

Anand and Anu wondered, why her aunty is laughing this much even after hearing their parents death?

"Hey Sathyan, you were so eager to know the truth about my child's whereabouts? Do you know where my child is?

Uma started to say something, suddenly Madhav blocked her mouth.

"Uma, stop it. What are you doing. Please don't waste our years of suffering. Don't tell".

She laughed. And tried to pull Madhav's hand away.

Now Sathyan confirmed, Uma is not talking consciously. She know where her child is. And what is the meaning of her laugh. She called him fool. So definitely something is in it.

Sathyan kicked Madhav away, and pulled Uma. He pressed his hands in her neck.

"Kill me, Kill me, still you won't win...ha...ha.... you are a loser". Uma was testing Sathyan's patience.

"If you don't say it, I will kill your husband and this two children in front of you".

Now Uma stopped laughing.

"Then go for it psycho": She challenged him.

"Do you know , why I brought you two here. Four of you are already sold. Your Husband's kidney is matching for someone. I sold it. And You are going to serve someone for your entire life in a special place where your little sister Bhama resides. There people will worship you both. She cannot handle her full business alone now. If you too reach there ,both of you can enjoy a lot. Help your sister. She needs some rest now. Your Niece got a very good customer. She can be anything in prostitution. She is going to a sex mafia. Mumbai Red street or somewhere else, she will be enjoying her life from tomorrow. She is going to get ten times torture than Deepa got in childhood. And Anand is going to be a Gigolo, a male prostitute. Customers are more satisfied by seeing their videos ". Sathyan said angrily.

By hearing this, all got shocked except Uma. She still laughed.

Sathyan loosened his grip and let her to talk.

"Still you are a failure. You won't win. You can't be even"

"Tell the truth you b**ch. I will kill you"

"If you say the world by showing the video that Anand and Anu had forbidden relation , I will tell the whole world that they are trespassing the privacy of husband and wife. I can prove it."

"Umaaaaa....." Madhav called as warning.

But she avoided him .

Other than Madhav nobody understood what she meant.

She repeated. "I repeat, You are trespassing their husband and wife relation. Though they are not married, they are customary husband and wife. They are not siblings. ha...ha...ha... " She laughed loudly and clapped her hands.

"We won... My blood won...My family won. This is the difference between you and us . You are just using your brother's children to satisfy your insane revengeful mind. I know you don't love them. But you cannot beat we four siblings. Though fate separated us, we will die for each other. We will die for our kids. You cannot compare yourself with Gopala Menon's blood". She said it clearly, consciously.

Sathyan looked her in confusion.

Anand and Anu stood like statues. What they heard now ? What is the meaning of aunty's words? Both confused.

"Don't you get it? Anand and Anu are not siblings. They are born for each other. When Anamika was born, then we fixed their marriage. I gave my daughter to Archana edathy (Elder sister in law) . I knew that they will consider her as their own daughter. But I never thought that they would hide this truth from my kids. So, they grown up as Siblings. Anamika is our daughter, Anand is Asokettan's son. They can do anything as couple , if they want. We are not against their relation. But we give freedom to them to decide. You can end your searching here. Here is my daughter. Can you tell me, how can you prove your point now? "

Now Sathyan lost his words. Why couldn't I find out this secret earlier? This is what he thought.

But two people were standing there like stones. Anand and Anu. They were in a whirlpool of truth. Couldn't digest. It was hard to digest . Their whole life they lived as siblings, and one day fate says they are made for each other. They are meant to be a couple. How can they digest it?

Madhav sat on the floor like a man who lost everything. He know , Sathyan will do something dangerous. He is the avatar of Satan. He was not worried about his life. Entire life , he wanted to see his daughter's face. But, when he saw her at last, she is looking like a tragedy heroine.

Sathyan stood their silently. Then shouted. And started talking.

" So you all deserved this. You four were cheating me. You four hid this truth from me. As I thought, Asok and Archana were not innocents. Now I don't think about even game. I want to end everything. I will show you. Did you ever see a live fire show. I can make it happen. My mother burnt herself. He poured kerosine on her body and committed suicide. I will show you"

He suddenly called his men and ordered them to drag Anand to the godown. The godown was under the room where they were standing. That men dragged Anand through steps. Beaten him .Sathyan closed room's door from outside. Anu , Uma and Madhav slammed the door.

"Please don't do anything to Nandettan, leave him...please leave him"

Uma realized, she did a big mistake. After more than two decades she was seeing her daughter, but she couldn't even give a hug to her, she couldn't give a kiss to her. Now because of her stupidity Anand is going to lose his life. Will Anu forgive her mother? Uma wanted to console Anu, but she was scared to touch her. Anu knocked her head in the door insanely. Cried loudly.

They heard a heartbreaking cry of Anand from godown. After few minutes, doors opened. From the balcony of the room to the godown Anu saw a human body lying under fire. Room's air was filled with the burning smell of human flesh. Anu passed out. Sathyan's men came. One man dragged Uma , the other man slapped Madhav and one man carried Anu. They were separating again. Three ways .

While the man was carrying Anu, Uma heard a small cry from her .

"Amma".

Uma cried loudly.....The word she wanted to hear for her whole life was....."Amma".

She suffered, she hid, she waited for her whole life for the safety of her daughter. But in front of her eyes...her daughter is going to hell.

Sathyan sold Anu to a Sex mafia. Her parents are helpless.

Outside , Heavy rain started.

Anu's life...her dreams...her wishes....everything washed away in that heavy rain.
