The Saint

THE SAINT

ANIKET'S heart beat regularly whispered same tale to his ears, he could not avoid it-he felt his mind as an umbilical cord which binded him to solitary , one sided self conversation- "Who am I? what's wrong with my qualification ? why a least suitable job is getting out of my reach?" - any psychological problem? What meanings were rest behind these questions?- story began in Aniket's life after getting master degree from Presidency college ,Calcutta. Searching for a mediocre job is nothing but a repeated failure to him. At home nobody took his effort as any positive step. Aniket's family denotesd a typical lower middle-class status-staying in a rented house, running short of economy are regular practices of their regular life ..
"Any news regarding your service?", Aniket's father frequently asked him,
"Not yet", Aniket replied.
"Most of your friends are well-settled... but you are hopeless", the old man chided with deep grief.
Aniket understood his father's psychology , this man was retired since last five years, he never earned too much throughout his clerical career.
Moreover, Aniket's failure reacted so crudely in his mind that he predicts for nothing is to be happened to turn the situation. Aniket's mother and sister never asked a question but their silent looks always bother him which seem to mhave lots of query such as-"How long? How long we have to wait for better days?"
"Dreaming about me?", every day a golden ray appeared in front of him at late night, tended to march forward a surrounding which approaches a gloomy life-style, "Yes,I wish it ,"Aniket remained asleep while his inner soul replied.
"Dada, wake up! "Aniket's sister's voice broke his sleep, as real daylight reflected , Aniket's dream was like a vague.
"A letter for you", Aniket's sister handed a letter to him.
"A letter for me! From whom?" Aniket left his bed in such a mode that any surprise was waiting for him!
Really this letter appeared like a stunning boom for his career. This letter came from U.S.A and sent to him by his once familiar friend - Aniket went through the content and then cheered,"Oh! I cannot believe this",
"Any good news?" father asked him repeatedly,
"My child-hood friend has written me- you also know him, he is no other than Rishi...",
"Rishi!", Father repeated the name in a stupefied voice, then he added, "But so far we know he was driven out by his family and since then he had left no trace behind him".
In early childhood , Rishi lost his parents, the situation forced him to be brought up under under grandfather's care, so long he was alive - none of his family members dared to humiliate him, but after nana's departure, no one agreed to stay with him or to bear him. At 20,Rishi found out no other way rather than to leave the house.





At present,Rishi was residing in San-diego, his letter clarifies this,
"Dear Aniket,
After a long detachment, all of a sudden , my pen is insisting me to write you few lines about me --- after leaving the house and accepting separation from my so called relatives , my future became most unpredictable.
I decided firmly whatever the situation might be , I would never go back to past which dragged me on road. I started to earn as an ordinary shipmate in Gardenrich, Kolkata, a foreign sailor turned my fate.
Without his help and contribution , there was no possibility for me to get settled in America. Now come back at present, how are you? Are you in search of job or not? You are most welcome to my place,
Reply soon,
Rishi."

Knowing the content , Aniket's father was looking overwhelmed, all of his family members were eager to know about Aniket's reply.
"I will reply", Aniket did not want to refuse this invitation, this opportunity might be proved as a landmark concerning his career-he thought so. But he had little money to bear this journey-without any hesitation , Aniket mentioned all the truths in his reply.
Within few months Rish confirmed Aniket's forthcoming journey to abroad. But a mother's heart could not avoid anxiety, "It scares me when I think , why Rishi is so much interested regarding your concern", Aniket's mother found no way to relax.
"Ma, it is tough for me to leave all of you, after getting settled there , I will call of you within short of time."
Sandiago is a beautiful city , better known as a city of sea-world, the natural fantasy fades tiredness caused by long journey , As Aniket reached the city , his physical and mental hazards seemed to be off, "I have achieved much more than I desire," he repeats in his mind.
At airport, one fellow of Rishi received him , A car was ready to drop him to Rishi's house, obviously , a pressure was mounting in his mind unless he met Rishi. Finally, the destination appeared, as he entered Rishi's house, he observed everything there was with a top-notch. At home Rishi greeted him with a great cheer, "Take rest today, Tomorrow my assistant will take you to Los-Angeles for a trip", Rishi suggested.







Los Angeles is three hours journey from San Diego, Rishi was too busy to give him company and this put Aniket in an awful situation, his shy and introvert nature kept himself mum infront of Rishi's assistant.
"We are passing through Sunset-Baulevard street", The assistant tried to get familiar with him.

Aniket's quiet nature was not matchable with him. After a few minute's silence , He threw a question towards Aniket ,"Have you heard of Baverly Hill?"
"No",
"It has lots of similarity of Bollywood's Pali Hill".
"May be!", Aniket wanted to avoid further conversation with him.
"Our car is passing through Hollywood",he described.
The trip took one more day in order to visit Dizniland . Aniket felt pleasure and at the same time , many questions were coming up his mind-what made Rishi possible to lead a glamorous life?

Aniket was very much eager to know about Rishi's work-field. Rishi's assistant owed to an Anglo community, he was known as Tom, he was an ex-student of New-York State University, his mother was in Greenich city, not too far from New-York city. He often used to tell Aniket, "I am the man of east who have come west to join Rishi."

Aniket felt isolated when Rishi talked secretly with Tom,he could not control his queries, and ultimately questions...
Rishi replied with smile,"Come with me to my hermitage ,everything will be cleared to you,"
"Are you related with any particular campaign which gives priority to some kind of hermitages?", Aniket had confusion.
"I only arrange basic codes , my disciples arrange every-thig for hermitage", Rishi replied.
Next day Rishi declared that He had to leave for Washington D.C., He encouraged Aniket,"Pack your luggage and we will attend a ceremony there ."
On the way Aniket asked Rishi,"How do you manage your life here?"
"Travelling , delivering speeches to meet peoples' psychological, intellectual, emotional and spiritual satisfaction is my work and aim."
"It is a good business too!" Aniket added more to Rishi's reply.
"You are right , all the roads pave the same way," Rishi delighted.

END OF CHAPTER One
______________________________________________


As journey started, path left behind too many cities on its way to Washington, some banners were already visualized by Aniket. They had already passed through Birminghum, Sheffield,Samartown,Robin'svill...
"This road leads to Shenandoah national park", Tom narrated ", " Shenandoah river is flowing besides this park , moreover, Blue-ridge river adds more beauty to this location. The road takes left turn to enter into Washington
"Get down, our destination has come", Rishi asked Aniket, the hermitage was fully crowded. many of them were Greek, Italian, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, few are Anglo and Protestant.
"Within a short period, you can question 'Acharya', Tom announced. .
"Acharya!", Aniket repeated the word in a low voice , He tried to understand the significance lied behind this title . In reality, Rishi was born with surname as Acharya but Aniket felt tough to realize its proper application in outer field, Aniket could not understand whether Rishi was addressed with this title as inherited succession or his impressed disciples honour him by addressing so.
Henry Cooper was very much eager to solve his personal dissatisfaction, He was one of the believers who honours acharya's ideology without any hesitation.
"I am suffering from mental restlessness, basically, I am fond of dating but recently I feel lack of satisfaction from my mates", Henry was looking sad.
" Do you want to change your girlfriends?", Rishi asked him.
" I have changed my girlfriends many times,but neither I can meet their ultimate satisfaction nor my mates can satisfy my soul, I am tired of it , I want to bring change in my life-style", Henry answered in a convulsive voice.
"You cannot change your lifestyle within a moment or day, now tell me what is your second attraction in your life?", Rishi suggested.
"I am fond of songs",
"How many times do you prefer to date with your girlfriends?",
"Twice a day or once a day and sometimes it decreases into two or three days' interval",
"That's good! you have no fixed particularity, now listen, my sixth sense advises you to decrease the number of first fascination contrary to the increasing proportion of your second choice ;if you maintain three times in first choice, then you have to reduce it by one number and at the same time, the application and adaptation of second choice should be marked up by one number to fill the vacate time due to the deduction of timing in first case, thus at one stage, the two timings will be equalized, this will be the turning point where the second choice may topple the first one but you may feel bored again and you have to look for any third option ,obviously, you have to follow the inter-changing timing equation in every case", Rishi deliberately gave his opinion.

" I must follow it", Henry left the place with enough satisfaction.




Aniket felt bogus, he rarely believed in personal charisma .
" Why are people so unscientific in finding personal solution?", Aniket asked Tom.

"...Because they believe that Rishi is the perfect person to solve them", Tom replied in a casual mode.
"But they may go to a psychologist or a typical spiritualist", Aniket preferred other way.
"They are getting bored with formal check-ups and monotonous confessions, they want mental peace, not prescription and they don't want to be abide by any long awaiting codification", Tom replied.


Rishi always wanted to avoid New-york city, he was not too much famous in this city.
"Any panic regarding this city? Aniket asked Rishi.
"No!Not at all,in fact, I have to come here regularly for medical check-up",
"Why? are you sick?" Aniket was looking worried.
"I have to face so many people at a time that sometime I felt strain in my body and mind too, so I need this", Rishi consoled Aniket .

Rishi was not so much successful in Newyork because his rival never allows him to set a bench-mark here.


"The temperature of New York is not suitable for me but this is also true that this city also reminds me the memory of Calcutta, Anni is more popular here', Rishi confessed.

Aniket was well known of Anni, in India , Anni owed many hermitages ; basically Anish was well known as Anni by his devotees.

Atlantic city which is 150 miles away from New york city, was turned into a central place of Anni.
"Like Anni I do not want to be a saint", Rishi tried to be more moralistic.
Aniket ignored Rishi's dialogue, he was very much concerned about his personal settlement.




"What is your attitude regarding my earning?", Aniket was looking anxious.
"You will help me in expanding my ideology to be more realistic", Rishi urged.
" You arrange anything else for me", Aniket denied to assist Rishi in this concern .
" I will pay you a havoc money per month, moreover,I want religious addition at the time of delivering a speech, for this I need a faithful companion like you", Rishi defended his logic.

"Then, what will be the act of Tom?", Aniket asked.
" Obviously I will not show him downhill", Rishi clearly defined.
Though Aniket's inner mind said no, he signed a contract form to commence his formal joining.

Manhattan is a city situated near New-York where many migrated Indians like to settle, Doctor Deepak's clinic situated here. Rishi was one of his patients.
Aniket found strange regarding Rishi's check-up at Deepak's clinic, more than a thousand doctors were in practice with brilliance in Los-Angeles and San Diego but Rishi always preferred Deepak.
"This is the place where my disciples are less in numbers, so I can take rest here peacefully", Rishi clarified.

Whenever Rishi reached Manhattan , he wished to spend a secret life with Doctor Deepak and every-time Aniket was asked to be aloof from their meeting. Aniket already visited Metropolitan City , art galleries, Googenheim Museum, Brookelyn Bridge, Walls street when he stepped his feet for the first time in this city.This time he was very much interested to visit Anish.
Aniket was very much adverse to any particular individual fantasy or charisma , but as an ex-student of philosophy , he wanted to know what was meant by meditation, yoga,free-sex provided by Anish's doctrine.
Aniket could not fulfil his queries because Rishi was one and only rival of Anish. "Anni always tries to act as a saint , he declares himself as all in all in present world of wisdom,", Rishi always exclaimed his view with grief against Anni.

"Make a solid script for my speech ", Rishi requested Aniket on the eve of a conference which is to be scheduled in Newzersy, it is organised by a local Indian organization,"The speech should be delicate in manner and positive in logic", Rishi explained the guidelines. Aniket knew the tacts.
It was easy to make anybody fool with any spiritual code, Aniket's soul opposed it but his present situation did not allow him to go against Rishi.

The community hall was fully packed, Rishi started his speech in presence of large crowd-- "Friends, my believers,listen to me, I am not a saint like-------
"manah-prasadah saumyatvam maunam atma-vinigrahan/bhava-samsuddhirity_etat tapo manosam ucyate--- that means I am not an absolute follower which is narrated in Gita as serenity of mind, gentleness, moderation of speech, self-control and purity of heart but at the same time I am the man who is fond of speaking only words that are in-offensive, true, pleasant and beneficial which is stated in Gita as "anudvega-karam vakyam satyam priya -hitam ca yat..., in practical life most people are unable to do anything without any expectation in return, I can pray for them, so that they can fulfill their satisfaction, as we seein Veda, lots of hymns are offered towards God so that the all mighty can protect our rights which appease our physical and mental needs-"owa bazong debohitong sonem modem shotohima:subira:(sukta 17, Rigveda)..." , Rishi continued his speech,in-spite of lots of disagreement,Rishi insisted Aniket to make this speech for him.




end of chapter two



Aniket came out from the community hall , Rishi was still delivering the speech, all of a sudden an young guy came nearby Aniket, wanted to tell him something--"Another Indian is also delivering his speech, but the place is Atlantic City", Aniket understood that this youth was telling about Anni,now this man wanted to be familiar with Aniket,"Hi!I am Manojit from Ayawa university, you do not know me,but I know you,this the fourth time when you are seen along with Rishi", manojit said with confidence.
"Are you a student?",Aniket tried to be intimate.
"Yes, I am, I frequently come here to spice up my mind with something a little different but nowadays I feel lack of tolerance to hear such speeches, both Anni and Rishi run after self-publicity,only presentations are different, do you know, what Anni tells?--,he also propagates his logic on the base of "karmoyogen-yoginam",but in real life , he never follows the inner image of Gita, he leads nothing but a luxurious life", Manojit stopped in an unpleasant mood.



Recently, many people were disheartened to read "New York Time's report on two characters' confrontation---------- two men shot each other, among them one was Rishi's follower and another was Anni's, they were challenging one another's favourite, it resulted for a banned period of six-months
imposed upon both-Rishi and Aniket.

Nowadays both Anni and Rishi were facing agitation and anti-demonstration specially in Newyork,"You are misguiding people by wrong interpretation of religious culture", an Asian organization was very much keen to challenge both of them. Rishi cleared his stand , "Whatever,my opinion may be, it is not an absolute omnipresent of any religious sculpture", he defended himself.
But Anni was more firm regarding his popularity,"I have many prominent personalities in my organization and the ban will be lifted soon",he warned reversely.


Rishi too had a strong lobby in White House , a senator named Mac Christopher used to come to him, but this time this senator did not conceal his anger over recently occurred violence,
and he warned Rishi, "If you ignore this situation, Govt will intervene".
Aniket heard everything, he was feeling very much disturbed.
Rishi assured Aniket, "Mac contributes a lot of money for our fund , moreover, we have to stay here for a long time,I will handle the whole matter properly”.

"I don't want to stay here more and I can- not tolerate such kind of situation", Aniket strongly reacted.
'You go inside and don't say anything more",Rishi tried to make control over Aniket.


Next day, Rishi fixed an appointment with the head of the agitating Asian organization.
"Why you are so much interested to have a meeting with me? ,he asked rudely.
"Do a favour for me and I will try to keep your words", Rishi pleaded,
"What kind of favour do you want from me?',
"Continue your agitation against Anni and I will keep myself away from any kind of religious perversion", Rishi assured him.
After more consultation, the head leaves the place and before his leaving, Rishi whispered to his ears, "Take care for both of us"..
Aniket understood this was nothing but a horse-trade



For last four years, Anni was an inspiring personality to Emily, but recently she had joined Rishi's hermitage.She had curly hair and pimple- goose appeal makes her beauty very nice.
.She was an American girl having mix culture. Her mother wasan American lady who married an Indian doctor. Emily had a farm-house near Alabama river, the sight had a green vision dotted with lemon,orange,avocado trees.This was why Rishi often used to come here for his relaxation, Aniket too came with him.

The picturesque drive, garlic plantation and wine plantation were Emily's family tradition.
Emily expressed her attraction towards Aniket, but Aniket denied.
"You are not so much breezy like my other friends", Emily deplored.
"I am little bit different", Aniket remained strict concerning his own personality.
Rishi avoided interference , Aniket's reply failed to appease her ,She asked him,"Are you escapist?"
"I am not afraid of friendship , but it is true that I am less interested", Aniket answered.
"Have you any girl-friend in India?", Emily wanted to know.
"I have many girl friends in India but my friend-ship ship with them carries no special relation-ship"----Aniket's reply kept Emily mum.

end of chapter three

Doctor Deepak was invited to join a medical conference at Merced city. In Las-vegas, Rishi's some disciples were ready to launch a network technology providing a complete ideology of Rishi--
'log in patented web code, a citation will immediately be e-mailed to Rishi,' an inauguration
ceremony was to be held in Las-Vegas,On the way to Las-Vegas, Rishi arrived in Merced to meet Doctor Deepak .
In early morning Rishi reached,both of them were enjoying fresh dawn along-with sweet touchy conversation, this time, Rishi was not accompanied with Aniket, sometimes he used to allow Deepak's gentle interference in his personal attitude, "Are you fix in your mind that Aniket will be your suitable successor?",Deepak asksed him .

" I know that his personality is not matchable with my ideology but I will try for it", Rishi took a deep breath,
"So far I know , Aniket is shy,quiet in nature and adverse to publicity", Deepak added more.
"That is true, but his obligation , honesty will not let him do anything against me" , Rishi was very much positive about Aniket.

Rishi was ready to back from Las Vegas within two days but Aniket felt dishearten to spend time without free movement; where-ever he wanted to go, Tom's logic acted to watch his footsteps. Tom was very much particular in not to bend before Aniket's mood,"If you want to go outside,take the car, our driver will leave you", Tom gave instruction.
"I will not go far, I am going out just for a walk ",this time Aniket applied his foresight and became successful.
"All right, come within few minutes", Tom hesitated but gave him permission.


24 hours passed but there was no hint of Aniket's returning ,Tom was looking worried but he could not find him out.
"Where he may go?", Rishi asked Tom after coming back from Las-Vegas.

Tom kept mum, felt ashamed for his incapability.
Few hours later, Aniket himself returned back.
"You should inform Tom properly before you leave", Rishi got irritated.
"I am looking for a job, I need time for this", Aniket clearly stated his view.

"You are already assigned to my job",Rishi reminded Aniket ,
"I am not bound to do your job forever", Aniket protested.
"You have signed a contract form, it is a bond paper also", Rishi told the truth.
"You are cheater! I signed the paper with-out knowing the real fact because I blindly believed you", Aniket bursted into anger.
"you are now leading a rich life because of me, your family, too, now is in a good position because of your job, derived from me", Rishi cleared his stands.
"You have called me here to fulfil your personal interest,you are exploring my mind, brain and soul", Aniket shouted in mental agony.
"Be cool,go to your bedroom and relax, you are not in normal mental state",Rishi controlled himself.
Tom dragged Aniket to his bedroom.


Emily was fond of tracking on Appalachian mountain,she used to enjoy horse-riding but since last few months
she was feeling lack of interest in all hobbies,she tried to make her mind off from Aniket, but she could not
keep her mind away from thinking of Aniket.
Recently Aniket tried to keep himself aloof from Rishi's organization,Rishi did not want to miss Aniket's company ,
he wanted to tackle him by other means rather than force and fear, Aniket too was waiting for a proper opportunity to solve his problem.
Emily wanted to be intimate with Aniket but Aniket remained indifferent as before,Rishi did not interfere in this matter.
"I want to have you ",Emily proposed.
" I don't need your company", Aniket rejected her proposal.
"Why? anything wrong with me?", Emily questionsed.
"I am a typical Indian traditional person,I do not like such kind of relation-ship", Aniket answered with- out any hesitation.
"Make me of your own according to your manner ", Emily appealed.
"No! it is not possible for you", Aniket tried to break her heart .
"Every thing is possible if you wish", Emily defended her logic.
"To me, love and intimate relationship is not like inhaling and outflowing,love should have possessiveness as blood circulates in our body in a regular system,"Aniket explained.

"What a beautiful idea!", Rishi entered,"I was passing through the way, suddenly, your explaination has dragged me here”,
then he excused ,"Sorry to disturb you both"---- ,
Aniket left the room without any response.

Rishi's health was not going well,Aniket was too depressed, Rishi tried to make him pleased," Do not think wrong about me, I have opted for such kind of life style for the sake of high living".
"But you have no right to impose it upon me", Aniket refuted Rishi's logic.
"You have the power by which you can spread out my opinion every-where", Rishi said, then he turned the conversation into lighter way-
"Forget it and cheer up for a party, you go there alone,"
"I don't like any kind of party", Aniket refused.
"I am not ordering you, but you are looking so depressed----- so go and enjoy", Rishi urged.. This is the first time Rishi allowed Aniket to attend any gathering which is out of his business-matter.

Recently, Rishi had cancelled many appointments because he was feeling unwell, Aniket was advised to manage it, but Aniket was very much particular to his stand,
"Why are you insisting me according to your voice?",he asked.
At last Rishi revealed the truth,"I am inching to death because I have cancer, it is only you who can unite my ideology against all odds, after my death, my propaganda will remain alive through you."

"So long you are alive, nobody can hamper your impression and you need not think about what will happen in case of your absence in this world", Aniket tried to make Rishi understand.

"You are still poor in polity", Rishi reacted with upset over Aniket's reply, then he continued,"In near future I cannot conceal my illness from public and media and that will be the moral victory fo Anni, my disciples and followers will be dazed after hearing the truth but if I declare that my true successor will lead them in near future, there will be least possibility of loosing their confidence".
Now Aniket understood why Rishi was so much interested in his concern , it was a well-judged plan of Rishi to drag him here from India.
end of chapter four.

Next day,Tom was busy as usual as in receiving phone calls and mails, after a quick bath,Aniket secretly stepped out of the house,the day was breaking,,outside it was still dark,the birds were chirping, vehicles were passing through the broad way,Aniket hired a taxi and set out for Anni's shelter.
He had no alternative rather than relying on Anni, he however managed to send a secret massage to Anni, Rishi's attitude towards him became a chronic threat to him.
With-out any kind of hints and clues foresighted to Rishi, Aniket left San Diego.

Aniket assumed, it would be tough for him to particulate his real life's reflection to Anni along-with appropriate sensibility, not only he wanted to get rid of Rishi, but also he wished to return back to Calcutta.

After a strict checking, Aniket was allowed to enter Anni's shelter, a large number of people was
waiting for him(Anni) as Anni was prepared to deliver a speech on how routine-life activities pave the simple way of acquiring practical knowledge.


"I have urgency to meet him personally", Aniket almost begged in front of his close associat

Anni was taking rest in his private room, his close associate broke his isolation, "One fellow wants to meet you personally at present moment."
"Who is the uncertain person!", Anni felt disturbed.
"I have identified him, he is closely connected with Rishi", the man did not conceal his excitement.

"Rishi's close fellow may feel the need of me! Let him come in",Anni ordered.

Aniket was feeling nervous, but he had no other way rather than this.
" Tell me the reason of your coming here,I know your identification",Anni was very much keen in his question.
Aniket disclosed every incident happened to him except Rishi's ailment.
After hearing all, Anni spoke out, "Everything is knowledgeable to me, now tell me, what kind of help do you expect from me?
"I want to go back to Calcutta before my visa expires",Aniket almost urged," now ,I am in a destitute condition, what I earned from Rishi, all I transferred to my father's account, I can not take it back moreover, Rishi will
never allow me to go back to India",
"I will arrange everything for you, but do a favour for me", Anni continued,"I have some my own journals, you write here everything what you told me",
"I can not do this, though I want to keep myself away from Rishi but once upon a time we were good friends, I can help you in any other way,"
Aniket stated his opinion.
"There are lots of contradictions in your character, I have to think your matter thoroughly", Anni did not give him full assurance.
Anni asked Aniket to stay with him until he found out any solution.

Some days later, Aniket was approached to depart for Kennedy airport,he would be in India very soon--this gladdened his heart very much.
A car was waiting for him , he got into the car and the car took its own speed on the way to air-port. Aniket was not alone inside the car, Anni's two associates were also present inside the car.
All of a sudden, they ased the driver to stop the car, "Get down from the car", they pulled him down from the car, took him to a lone corner, with the blink of eyes, they shot him with a silencer gun.
Soon they leave the place leaving Aniket alone laid down on the road with aches and bloody exposure from his body.

Aniket was in coma since seven days, he was spotted by police and admitted in a hospital, gradually he was regaining his health and almost after a weeek, he came back in his sense. As he opened his eyes, he suddenly discovered Emily sitting beside his bed.

"How are you feeling, now?", Emily asked him with a pleasant smile, Aniket's memory could recall all the incidents which were responsible for this situation. He asksed Emily,"What has made you possible to know about about my situation?"
"When you left Sandiago with-out any information, Rishi lodged a missing complaint in police station , moreover, he asked the security to search you in eastern zone.......", Emily wanted to say more, but Aniket was looking indifferent, the whole incident was near him like a bombshell .

Tom's entrance made his mind back to present,"Thank God! you are out of danger now!",Tom said with a great relief ,"We were very much distressed to hear that you were shot, but we can guess that Anni has
conducted this with a crafty manner in order to breed intolerance in Rishi's mind",
Tom discussed the fact in the absence of police,Rishi did not want further violence,Aniket too was unwilling to dispose any reaction regarding the mishap,he asked Tom to leave the room,"Let me stay alone".
Tom found no way rather than leaving the room,before leaving, he asked Emily,"Come with me, let him stay alone",but Emily denied,"You go,I will go later”.


Tom left the room, Aniket remained quiet,Emily turned towards him and asked,"I can understand you, you want to flee from Rishi,but I don't know why you are so much desperate to leave him!"

"Because I want to refrain myself away from his charismatic image", Aniket said without fear.

Aniket could not avoid himself from speaking out the truth near Emily,"I fled to Anni so that I could be able to go back to India, but my denial to Anni's proposal created such situation for me!"


"Do you really want to go back to India?",Emily asked with sympathy.

"I do but I find no way,all roads are blocked to me", Aniket looked upset,
"I can feel your lack of interest in such kind of imposing choice,I,can't let your peace disturbed,I, will arrange your passage to INDIA", she tried to raise his hope.

"I have lost my passport and everything " , Aniket said in distress.
.
"If I wish I can do everything, have rely on me",Emily was looking confident.
"Which kind of favour do you want from me in return of this?",Aniket wanted to know with lots of doubts.
"I have only one aspiration and that will never be fulfilled", Emily replied in a sad voice.
"What do you want from me?'",
"I want you forever throughout my life but present situations do not allow this",Emily almost cried.
"If you really love me then come with me in India", Aniket softened his stand.
"Are you serious?"Emily could not believe it.
"I don't want to break your mind",Aniket extended his arms towards Emily and bounded her into a tight hug.

Very soon, Emily arranged everything for their departure for India without leaking any information to anybody.
I t was decided that Aniket would join Emily in a rest house by early morning on the particular day of their departure. Aniket purposely was staying in a cabin of hospital showing excuses of health issues,it was easy to get out of hospital for him rather than Rishi's shelter, Emily already privately talked with some doctors.

Time fled fast and Aniket reached the desired place on time, he dashed to upstairs, knocked the door and the door was opened automatically,as he entered the room,the inner situation stunned him,he discovered Emily lying down on the floor having bloody outcome, the wound showed that somebody had fired a bullet with a gun.

Tom was chasing Aniket from early morning,he too ran into the room and pulled Aniket apart from Emily's body,Aniket desired not to leave the room, but Tom was very much afraid of police interrogation.
He clenched Aniket's shirt and took him to a safe place.
Aniket barely slept that night,he had lots of accusations against Rishi and Anni in his mind, but there was no proof and no suits near him against them.


Tom decided to go back to San Diego along with Aniket,Aniket was looking very much aggressive,he suspected that Rishi was behind the scenes of Emily's murder,Rishi also understood Aniket's mind,he tried to make him understand,"To be honest,I still do not know------ can anybody attack her so brutally?"
"But I know,you are responsible for it", Aniket blamed blindly.

"You are wrong,I had no personal perturbation against her,I find no reason and solution by means of such offence", Rishi strongly defended himself .
" You want to prevent me from going back to India",Aniket burst into anger.

"I will not force you to stay with me further more, your air-ticket is booked ,tomorrow you will catch a flight for India",Rishi assured him. .
"I can not believe you, your efforts can lead me towards the end of my life ",Aniket did not rely on him,

Rishi laughed it off as improbable, then he suggested,"Believe me and pack your luggage".

end of chapter six


Finally, Aniket's wait was over,he returned to India. He decided not to disclose anything near his family members,otherwise they might be unnecessarily worried.Few days later,he started attending interviews in search of a job,Aniket lied near his family members he was there to spend a holiday. Aniket hoped that he would tell everything to them if he got a suitable job in his own country.
One day, a strange person from U.S.A knocked the door,he was stranger to Aniket's family but Aniket knew him well,he was a N.R.I and also a blind follower of Rishi.
His presence made Aniket bashful, before he spoke out anything, this man opened his mouth,"I am here to tell,
acharya has imposed a duty on you and that is,you have to inaugurate a hermitage here." Aniket wished to throw this man out of his house, but he remained calm and tried to ignore the matter by saying so,"I am not willing to do so."
Aniket's answer made him unhappy,Aniket took him out of the home for private conversation, the man warned him,"If you oppose him,you will be charged with violation of law for not only the contract paper you signed, but police is also trying to weed out the cause of Emily's murder".
Aniket realized,his any kind of turmoil might produce zero output..Finally,Aniket attended the inauguration, he was already publicly announced as the successor of Rishi, for the first time, he was appearing to deliver a speech in front of a packed house on behalf of Rishi,he tried his best to rescue himself from the conspiracy by an announcement-----"No supremacy is hidden in myself, it will be best for you if you ignore this blind faith-----", but public considered this as his deliberately crafted divinity out-coming from his idiom, only his heart beat could follow the steps which his soul wanted to detect.

Aniket's voice was gradually being hushed up,all of a sudden, he discovered a very familiar face among the crowd, he could not believe his eyes,it was Emily!, Emily was still alive! Emily was coming near to him after dodging every body in the crowd,at last she appeared absolutely near him, , she pulled his hand and took him inside a car,she drove him away far from crowd,Aniket was so much surprised that he kept mum for a long time, then he
opened his voice,"I can not believe my eyes! You are still alive!"
" Yes, I am, what you saw in the rest house , it was a drama planned by Rishi...", Emily confessed.
"You too trapped me!"
"Yes, but Rishi made a deal with me and that is if I follow his instruction,he will make you free from his bond and I will avail you easily, but he betrayed me, he has sent you here to make you away from me and he did not return
back your signed contract paper for which he also promised, he double crossed us. But he does not know that
there is a limit of every thing..."
"What do you mean?", Aniket asked with curiosity,
"My mom is a reputed celebrity in U.S.A, She has filed complaint against Rishi,moreover,she has an impressive public image, police will arrest him very soon," Emily said in a hard voice.

It was true,inter-poll police was investigating the activities of Rishi and Anni,Rishi was now under house-arrest in U.S.A, Emily started campaigning for Aniket every-where---she explained how he was trapped and why he wanted to get rid of this......
Getting impressed with the real life story many media already reached to meet him,they wanted to make documentary about the real life story,moreover, an advertising company also assigned him with a job-----
