Chapter 41 - Shopping

The next day, After breakfast Meera tells Aditya and Anjali that she is going shopping with Avinash, and she will also do other preparation for the party. She already texted them about her plan and tell them to make sure about the party they wanted to give Avinash.

Meera and Aarav eat happily while the Avinash is too distracted to eat. While Anjali and Aditya have their thoughts. It has been a long time since they both are going to be together. It is not like Aditya hates his mom, but the conversation between them is never more than ten minutes. The last longest conversation they have is also due to Meera.

Anyway, Meera and Aarav left with Avinash. Meera can see that Avinash is often checking his cell phone. She doesn't get much information from the system, but she already does a lot of research for this man, and even Anjali and Aditya provide her with much information. So she is sure that Avinash not die due to love matter. The only good thing she hears from the system is the death of Avinash is postponed, but the danger is still there. And she has this omen that today's restless behavior of Avinash is due to that danger.

Meera and Aarav first go to a famous cake shop and there they eat some cakes, and finally decide which cake they want for their birthday.

"Wha you think about the cake?" Meera questions Avinash. But he doesn't respond. Aarav also realizes his absentmindedness and pulls his trousers.

"What?" Avinash questions with some annoyance, but seeing it is Aarav, he tries to smile at him.

"Nothing I just asking do you like the cake?" Meera questions while holding Aarav's hand.

"Yes" Avinash slightly feels regretful, he is acting like scum in front of his nephew. The blackmailer is blackmailing him due to his sexuality for a long time, and he is asking for a big amount of sum this time. He don't understand what to do, but anyway he decided to enjoy these two days and put his phone down.

"If you have meetings then you can go ahead" Meera suggested.

"no, and I am sorry for my rude comment" Avinash suddenly said.

"That's nothing, then let's go shopping" Meera is somewhat surprised due to this polite apprentice of Avinash, but she doesn't say much.

When they go to the shopping mall, Avinash already informs the store, this store is his special investment, so they make sure that one floor is empty for them.

There are too many choices to choose from. So Aarav and Meera decided to try the clothes. Aarav likes this very much, as people often praise him. And today mom praise him too much and she also will buy matching clothes with him. So he is very happy.

At first, Meera helps him to try new dresses but then Aarav tells her that he will do it himself, so she comes outside, and surprisingly she hear something which is going to help her.

"I already tell you that I will give you money, do I ever refuse or cheat on you?" Avinash questions. And this is the same sentence Meera hears.

"I will send the money so please now stop bothering me," Avinash said and hung up the phone and then he realize the presence of Meera.

"Is it old lover?" Meera can't help but question.

"It has nothing to do with you" Avinahs replied.

"I know, but if you want you can share it with me, I am too intelligent in this area, as you know I have many friends who can find the secrets whoever your lover is," Meera said with some excitement, she has the feeling that she is near the truth.

Avinash at this moment is too frustrated that he can't stand to Meera.

"You win my mom's heart and somehow manage to resolve their fight between her and brother so you consider yourself very powerful. But that's not the truth. Please don't annoy me, I am already in bad mood and if you make things worse I will not even consider Aarav" Avinash replied.

"..." Meera doesn't understand what to say, but her mood once again gets worse.

Aarav comes outside and asks them how he is looking, Meera tries to sound energetic but does not get success in it.

"Mumma is anything wrong?" Aarav questions.

"Nothing, your mom wanted to eat something, but don't worry I will order here" Avinash realized that he had gone so far while scolding Meera so decided to repair things.

"Okay, so can I try that dress?" Aarav questions on which Meera nodded. And Aarav once again runs inside.

"Meera...I am sorry" Avinash replied. On which Meera gives only a weak smile.

"There is a person who has photos of me, kissing another man, and he is blackmailing me that he will expose my sexuality. His demand are kept increasing. and I don't understand what to do" Avinash can't hold anymore and decided to confess it.

"Are you worrying about the other man's reputation?" Meera questions. She has the thought in the head, where the man is married and Avinash loves him so he is trying t protect that man.

"No, he is you know a sex provider" Avinash does not believe that he is talking so calmly with this woman.

"Then why don't you himself tell the world about your sexuality?" Meera can't help but question.

"If things are that easy then... if I reveal it then my career will get destroyed, and even it might affect my brother's business. And for the money, which you marry my brother also be not there" Avinahs can't help but say.

"How can that affect your brother and your career. Indeed you might not get some film, but there are still some people who might accept you. And all these years aren't your brother and you earn enough. You also have some business too. And right now you are giving money to the blackmailer too. Isn't it loss of money already?

And the main thing is why you are hiding your sexuality, it is a natural thing, it is not like you do a crime. neither it is something bad." Meera's this answer directly touches Avinash's heart.
