As Rakesh walked out with Raj's friends he saw his elder brothers hugging each other.
He joined them and the family was reunited.
" We brought justice to our mothers and grandpa today", said Rakesh.
At that moment a handcuffed Gaurav walked out lead by Salman and Duleep.
" You destroyed your daighters' trust", said Rahul in disgust. " That is the biggest sin you committed ".
" Law will punish you Gaurav. I won't kill my blood", said Raj. " The curse on our clan ends tonight ".
Gaurav laughed derisively.
" I duped you too", he taunted Rahul.
If curse continues Keekat can resurface he thought.
" As you came that night mourning your love I was there. I attacked you and put you in prison for attacking me".
Rahul was unfazed.
" Well you will pay for it", he said.
" Just like I duped Vinod Joshi. The b*stard thought I just embezzled money huh", he said.
Party clenched his fist as his eyes hardenrd. He was Gautam's part after all.
Maddy lightly tapped his shoulders.
" Let go pal. He is provoking us", he said.
" Gaurav you have nothing left", said Raj calmly. " Neither your powers nor your gang and NOT THE MONSTER YOU NURTURED FOR YEARS".
" Plus you lost two gem of girls who could have saved your soul", said Maddy.
Kenny and Kiara left with other girls not even recognizing their adoptive father.
" Your rest of the life will be spent in prison where you will repay each and every drop of the innocent blood you shed and feel the pain of those you falsely accused", said Parry.
" I killed your mother", he said to Raj. " Too bad it wasn't when you were in her womb you bast*rd".
" I think my parents were legally married ", smirked Raj. " Unlike yours. So we know who the b*stard really is".
Rakesh tsked.
" And how can a b*stard like you claim the throne", he said.
" I killed your mother too but the best part was it was your hand that pulled the trigger", teased Gaurav.
Rakesh had the gun. He pulled it on Gaurav's head.
" YOU ARE DEAD", he screamed.
" NO BROTHER", roared Raj as he hugged his brother. Rahul threw the gun away..
" The curse", reminded Raj. " He is our blood",
" Just take him away Salman sir", said Rakesh.
At that moment Gaurav suddenly freed himself.
And picked up Rakesh's gun.
" Had it not been you I would have become the king", he said in madness.
" I worked hard for it. Planned it. Killed Jennifer, planted Kamini here, even duped Vicky... I would have got that power.. I was able to lure Vishnu to give me the sword.
But no... Riya that b*tch", he said.
" You won't kill me", he laughed like a mad man. Fine I will do it. I will shed blood. The curse continues.
And...
Thainnn
A bullet was fired.
" Raj duck", a man collided wih him. And the bullet hit him as he staggered down.
" MADDY", screamed Raj as his friend collapsed.
" Ro", cried Raj. The bullet was in his chest.
Gaurav fired again...
He failed to notice a man's eye had hardened..
And suddenly out of nowhere the sword that Gautam gifted Aditya appeared in front of that man.
Maddy's blood coated the sword.. It shone like a guillotine.
Gaurav was still firing. A bullet grazed Salman's shoulder.
But Raj overpowered him.
" You get your wish Gaurav", he cried. " I will kill you".
" No Raj", cried Maddy weakly pulling all his strength. " Nooo the curse.. ", and he passed out.
" No you assh*le I won't let you die", said Ro. The pulse was there and he was still breathing.
" Rush him to hospital", he ordered others.
" We have the chopper ", said Solly.
It arrived in a couple of minutes and Maddy along with Ro rushed to the Khurana hospitals.
" Ha ha ha ha ha", laughed Gaurav. " That boy is going to die. You couldn't save him Raj. He was your brother right. What will you do"?
" HE WILL NOT DO A THING TAMAS", came a chilly voice.
Everyone turned...
A man stood holding Aditya's sword. It was covered in pundit blood.
" Y. Y. Youuu", Gaurav staggered.
" Alok uncle ", said Solly.
But Raj shook his head.
" No", he said.
" Gautam Pundit".
" How", asked Gaurav. " He is a Shashtri".
" Yeah that was the trick Vicky played on you moron", said Raj. " You were able to dupe Vishnu for his blood. Vicky realised the importance of blood. Padmanabh gave the hint to his successors that Gautam can retun through his blood. THE BLOOD IS IMPORTANT. It created you. Now it will end you".
A powerful gust of wind threw Gaurav up and he fell on the ground.
" I gave you centuries to change your ways Tamas", said Alok. " I was an innocent. I was accused wrongly. So was Gunjan. So was Vinod. So was Rahul. All because you failed to control your greed. "
" Alok my friend ", he said.
He was again thrown violently down.
" The elemental powers ", queried Rahul.
" Pundits inherit it", said Raj.
" You killed Vishnu and harmed Maddy", continued Alok.
He picked up the sword.
" With my ancestors as my guardians I Gautam Pundit end the injustice tonight. I spare the Thakur princes as they refuse to shed their blood and I bless Prince Aditya to be the king".
A lightning cracked and a storm blew.
Alok lifted the sword and like a guillotine brought it down on culprit'a neck. It claimed the head and with the lightning disappeared
Gaurav died on the spot his neck severed from his body. Alok collapsed.
" Take him to hospital now", screamed Raj.
Paramedics rushed.
" Prince Rajeev rule the kingdom wisely", said Gautam's spirit and left.
Gautam's justice was served.
" Hospital ", murmured Raj weakly to his friends.
A day later
Alok regained consciousness to the horror of his son fighting for his life.
" The bullet punctured a crucial artery", said Grace. " The doctors are trying their best".
" About Gaurav ", said Salman to Alok.
" No regrets", he said. " I will surrender myself ".
" You are as righteous as your mother", said Salman patting his back.
" It was me daddy", cried an emotional Raj to Ramcharan. " He walked in front of a sure death to save me".
" You assh*le", cried Solly. " You can't leave us behind.
Kiara cried her heart out.
" Kenny I found my one true love. Now why is Shiva taking him away. "
Prayers poured in from all directions. And Ro was determined.
Not again. Not again he thought.
The surgery ended as a haggard Ro came out with a weak smile.
" Rohit", asked Laxmi.
" He is fine. A full recovery ahead. The blood flow stopped and wounds healed. He is still sleeping. Will wake up around tomorrow morning ".
" I am going to kill him", said Kiara and burst in tears.
A collective sigh spread in the room....
Maddy was fine. Alok and Laxmi hugged.
