Chapter 21 - I Am Your Neighbor Bua

Sunanda slammed the pumpkin on the road and in one strike it burst on the road but when she lifted up her eyes she was shocked to see what is present in front of her eyes.

There was anger, frustration and fear in the eyes and on the of face of Sunanda when she saw the person standing before her.

She didn't know what to say at that moment after seeing that person before her because of the emotions that are stirring up in her mind.

With a smile on her beautiful face that person walked closer to Sunanda and her family members standing beside her.

Gayatri the sister-in-law of Rajshekhar said, "Gautami you came at the right time."

Yup the person standing before them is none other than Gautami herself who is not only standing before Sunanda but she even knows her family members as well.

Gautami touched the feet of Gayatri as a gesture of culture and took her blessings and then she asked, "Is it ? Then I am really lucky."

Both Gayatri and Gautami giggled after her comment and then Gayatri brought her into her house while Sunanda was standing before her house.

She wanted to know what is going on and her mind is trying hard to process what is really happening with her life.

The haunting shadows of her past that she had buried but they all emerged again with the presence of Gautami are now haunting Sunanda again.

Her mind is showing her the harrowing and terrifying images of her past casting the dreadful shadows of danger over her family.

The only thing that Sunanda knew that she has to do now is that to keep her family safe and away from Gautami and the past of her.

Entering back into her house Sunanda saw Gautami happily interacting with her family members while Rajshekhar has the speechless expression.

Sunanda strengthen herself in her heart and mind and put on her strong and egoistic persona and walked towards Rajshekhar.

Standing near her husband she looked at Gautami who gave her and Rajshekhar a smile and then she walked closer to Rajshekhar and asked him, "How is your health now Uncle ?"

"Its good now."

"Thank god you are okay. I was really worried when I had found you unconscious in your car. But luckily you are healing properly. I am sure it must be the good deeds of aunty and the prayers of your family that healed you in correct time."

All of the family members of Rajshekhar excluding Rajshekhar, Sunanda and her PA were shocked and confused.

From the midst of the family members Prameela the eldest daughter of Sunanda and Rajshekhar took a step forward at Gautami and asked her, "Gautami did you really meant that you were the one who saved my dad ?"

Looking at Prameela in a calm look, Gautami replied, "Yes it was me and my secretaries who found your dad on the day we came here."

After these words of her, Gautami started to narrate how she found Rajshekhar in his car unconscious and took him to the hospital to save his life and how she met with Sunanda there as well.

In her calculated move Gautami kept her real identity hidden and only told what she needs the family members of Rajshekhar to know for now.

Once they all heard about this matter all of the family members started to thank and praise Gautami for saving the life of Rajshekhar.

Prameela and Sasi the daughters of Sunanda and Rajshekhar thanked more Gautami to which she just said that it was her duty that she has done.

At that very moment Neha and Malavika holding two packets of sweets in their hands arrived in the premise Sunanda's house and said that they had gone to a temple and had brought sweets as prasad for everyone.

Both of them gave the sweets to everyone present there including Gautami as well and at that time Sunanda asked Gautami, "What are doing here ?"

Gautami just gave her a smile and took a bite of the sweet and after finishing that bite of the sweet Gautami said, "Me ? I am your new neighbor Bua. I live just across the street right before you."

These words of Gautami were shock for both Sunanda and Rajshekhar while Gautami just gave them a smile that for others was an innocent smile while for Sunanda she caught the glimpse of her past that she wants to forget.
