"Trisha" Jeet shouted as he entered the room.

Tarun and I were startled due to his sudden arrival and shouting my name.

"Jeet, what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be at the rituals at your side?" I asked looking at his stunned expressions.

He blinked for a few seconds at me in confusion then shook his head.

"I was at the ritual but then Anuj sent me a video of you being followed by someone to your room, I thought you are in danger." He said looking at me worriedly.

"Oh, Jeet don't worry I am alright. This is Tarun my cousin, the Monster's son. He wanted to warn me about his dad." I told Jeet introducing Tarun.

Tarun extended his hand towards Jeet for a handshake, Jeet seemed a little hesitant but shook his hand with Tarun's when he saw my expression assuring him he can trust Tarun.

"Tarun do you have any idea about what he is planning?" I asked him as Jeet stood beside me.

"Didi I don't know what he is planning but one thing I didn't tell you is that Dad had pictures of your dad and one more man around your dad's age in his study. I saw them a few years ago, they were not ordinary pictures, those pictures looked like they were clicked without their knowledge like when someone was spying on them." Tarun said pulling out his mobile from his jean pocket.

I looked at Jeet and he nodded in the reassurance that he is there with me. I was a little afraid to find out anything related to my Dad's death.

Tarun unlocked his phone and after scrolling for a few seconds he showed us some pictures, the man in the picture with my dad was Shekhar Uncle. He was right the pictures were clicked while spying because they had every small detail about them.

I and Jeet looked at each other, we both were sweating a little.

"Umm Jiju can I talk to you alone?" Tarun asked and I looked at him suspiciously.

"Don't worry Didi, it's nothing serious just a friendly brother's talk." Tarun replied and I rolled my eyes.

Jeet told me to take a rest and left my room with Tarun. I couldn't help but think about my Dad and Shekhar Uncle and their murder. But why did my uncle had those pictures of my Dad and Shekhar Uncle from Amritsar base camp?

"Does he have anything to do with their deaths?" I asked myself, after thinking, for what seemed like hours, I got up from the sofa to open the door when there was a knock on the door.

I saw him, the monster, my uncle at the door. I was about to close the door on his face when he placed his leg between the door and the wall restraining it from closing.

I tried to use more strength to close the door but he was stronger than me. He pushed the door really hard making me falter and entered my room.

My legs started trembling to make my knees go weak. I stepped back involuntarily, he stepped forward towards me and the flashed from the past came in front of my eyes. My breathing became uneven and I started choking on my saliva.

"tsk tsk are you afraid beta? Why? It is not the first time we are alone." He said and move forward towards me. I kept stepping back until my back hit the wall.

Tears formed in my eyes. I closed my eyes in order to stop the tears from falling, I didn't want to show him my weakness and fear.

For the next few seconds, there was no sound or movement. I slowly opened my eyes to see what the monster is doing and he was there staring at me.

His hand was about to touch my face when my room door flung open and entered angry Jeet followed by Taruna and Shreyas.

The monster turned to look at them and at that very instant a punch landed on his face, Jeet's eyes were red from anger, it looked like he would kill him if I was not there.

Jeet looked at me with all the love he had for me and hugged me while Shreyas held the monster from his arms.

"Papa, how could you try something like this with Didi? She is like your daughter. I am so ashamed of you Papa." Tarun said looking at Monster and the monster smirked.

"Who is like my daughter? She is not a part of our family and neither was his father. He was a bastard, my father never cared for me as he did for Shekhar. I always hated him and his family. And you are my son, you can't support a bastard's family." The monster spat and there landed another punch on his face making his lip bleed.

"Don't you dare say a word about my family you bastard." Jeet said and I could feel my heart melting, tears I was stopping from falling started falling from my eyes.

"You can't do anything about the fact that she is a bastard's child. And you can't protect her, mark my word. You and she won't be together for long." The monster said and smirked.

"Shutup Papa, you will not do anything to them. They are our family no matter what." Tarun said.

"You shut up you brat. You are my son and I am your family not them." The monster shouted on Tarun and Tarun laughed.

"It's better to have no family then having a monster like you like family. I might be your biological son but I am not at all like you. I respect women and most of all I love Didi as my sister." Tarun said, I ran to him and hugged him. He was only sixteen but he was very mature, I was happy to have him as a brother, even though he was so young, he still knew the difference between right and wrong.

"Did you don't worry I am with you and I will see to it that my Dad doesn't do anything to you and Jiju." Tarun said and I smiled a little at my little brother's confidence.

"Tarun you Dog, I will beat you to death for betraying me." The monster said

"That will happen only if I will leave you. You came here on your own but you won't go till I want."

"You have no idea kid who you are messing with." Monster said trying to threaten Jeet.

"And you have no idea who you are messing with." A voice came from behind the monster. We all looked in the direction and I was stunned to see who it was.

"Yo..you? How is it possible? You shouldn't be here." Monster said stuttering.
