Writer's pov

Dev's office.

" What the hell are you saying Mohit ? How is that even possible ? How comes SP group became our competitor for new project ? " Dev threw a file on the table angrily and shouted at Mohit.

" Details are unknown but this is true. You wouldn't have forgotten Dane right ?  He is the current CEO of SP groups. I think this happened because of him " Mohit says.

" Dane who ? " Gaurav asked doubtfully as he don't remember this Dane.

" Dane Alvis, once Dev had a tiff off with him when he was working as the leading program developer for global clue gaming company( GCGC). That time we were planning to enter into gaming field. At last Dane came inbetween and spoiled everything.  From that day till this moment Dev and Dane are like born enemies. From our side we were always careful and avoids unnecessary clashes with him but this time...... " Mohit looked totally confused about what's next.

"We convinced the investors first and we already started the research and planning. Then why should we give up ? If he is that much confident to face of with me in security field then I want to see that. Anyways there are still some matters to settle down with him and now it's payback time Mohit" Dev said very confidently.

" DD , they are here " Tina, Dev's secretary came to his room to inform that the guests are there for meeting.

" We will there Tina " Mohit send her back and turns to Dev.

" Listen, don't lose your temper there. Your main problem is that you will forget everything when you see your rivals and makes situation worst for me and Gaurav. Later we have to run behind them with apology. " Mohit pressed on Dev's shoulder to ease him up and they three went to attend the meeting.

When they were heading towards conference hall Mohit saw Jasmine at hallway talking to Zahir. They became so close within a day itself. Jasmine stood straight when she noticed Mohit coming with Dev and Gaurav.

" You both come inside " Mohit took them to conference hall and he was glaring at Jasmine. She looked down to check if there is any problem in her appearance watching how Mohit glared at her.

" You have lots of free time in this office right ? " When everyone walked ahead Mohit stopped Jasmine and asked.

" Why you said like that ? " Jasmine asked.

" Nothing I felt it. Don't worry, I know what to do " he grunted and walked ahead grinding his teeth.

" If you have constipation issues then take medicines for that not to jump on my shoulders. Agrhh...... Once my dad give my cards then I will show you.... Stupid, idiot, moron" Jasmine stomped her foot on floor and ran behind Mohit.

.......................

" See Dev there is no any hidden agenda behind this. I approached many other companies for this project.  That's how I came across cyber city. I liked your proposal and it holds within our budget, most importantly I trust your brand. But same goes for SP groups. The way Dane convinced me I fell for it. You tell me .... As the director of a company won't we choose  the best for our company?  Won't you do that ? " Dev didn't had any reply for his questions and reasons Mr Roy gave him was reasonable.

"Dev you don't have to get worked up for this issue. Once you told me
"a fighter can't grow if there isn't an opponent for him " that Dev now don't want to compete with anyone but want to do something alone. That's making me really wonder " Dane said with a chuckle to Dev.

" I am looking forward for this competition and I am very much excited because you both are very important for me and equally talented. So. ...... " Mr Roy said, he seemed like that cunning fox who let two goats fight and at end he can eat them both.

" Or between you two anyone can back off now " Mr Roy added.
Dev looked at Mohit and Gaurav to know their opinion.

" This project isn't any stone mark for us. Project value is high but not that much anything can later ruin our name. We should back off " Gaurav suggested to Dev.

" Gaurav.... " Mohit was against that idea and the way he called Gaurav itself showed that.

" I am not thinking as a competitor here but as your legal advisor who have to advice you with practical reasons. Still you both knows business better than me so end decision is yours" Gaurav says.

" When people get aged there will be fear and confusion inside their mind about every decisions they take.  Dev is also experiencing something like that now right ? Is that why it is taking this much time ? " Dane was mocking Dev when he was discussing with Mohit and Gaurav about the matter.

" I want to see how much he grown up to beat me. " Dev stood from his place and accepted the challenge. Gaurav looked at Mohit to stop Dev but watching his relaxed face Gaurav understood Mohit also want same.

" Okay....  That's good. You know time is limited and within few weeks you should submit the planning and design. I am looking forward to it gentlemen, Good luck then " Mr Roy wished them all good and left from there along with his members.

Dane also get ready to leave but before that he came towards Dev to say something.

"Experience wise as well as talent wise you are way to ahead of me. But still there are things that you don't know in this field or haven't faced yet " Dev frowned his eyebrows and stared at Dane like what he is actually want to convey.

" Betrayal........  " Dane says with an evil smirk and walked out from there all confident.

" Damn it...... That son of a...... Agrhh" Dev banged his hands on the glass table and kicked on the chair letting out his anger.

"He is into something.... I am not going to sit back. Whatever it takes we should get this deal "

" Tina arrange for an immediate meeting with the team working on this project. Not just the team head and leaders I need each and every one to be in the presentation hall. Now ...... " He yelled at Tina and she ran from there to arrange everything.

Jasmine looked startled watching Dev's anger and his reaction. She already moved towards a corner getting scared of him.

The whole office became a war land after that. Dev was preparing his team for a war and he lashed out at the team leaders for their lag and inefficiency to provide something new by all these time. No one was prepared to present any of their work which added more fuel to the fire.

" Take it off or I will burn them " Dev threw the Mac towards a planning team leader shouting at him after analysing the design they made in two weeks. Which looked like utter waste.

" You guys could only come up with these nonsense by this two weeks of time ? Just because I gave you some relaxation you all started to behave like I am dead. Isn't it ? " Dev yelled at them.

" Listen...... This is last warning I am giving you , exactly a week time. Morning nine I need you all present here with proper analysis and design or you don't have to come. Submit your resignation letter with Tina and leave. So that I can appoint some employees who can work for this company. LEAVE......... " Dev tapped on the table and dispersed the meeting.

Everyone quickly left from there to start their work as soon as possible. Mohit was sitting left side of Dev completely silent. Gaurav was in his office since he don't have any role in technical side. Dev was rubbing his temple which seemed like he is annoyed or thinking something very deeply.

That's when Tina came from his back after attending a call and requested Mohit to wake up Dev. She needs to say something to him. Mohit shook his head as no because he was also afraid to disturb Dev in that condition.

Since it was his aunt who called Tina felt like she is standing between hell and sea. If she says Dev is busy then Varada won't leave her but if she calls Dev he might kill her. She gave her phone to Zahir's hand and ran from room.

"D..... DD.....  " Zahir stammered and kept the phone on table to his side and called Dev

"Your aunt is on line  " Zahir said.
Dev took a deep breath and attended the call.

" Dev where are you? You told me you will be here by eleven and now time is already past twelve. Relatives are here Dev .... Come fast. Maa ji is asking for you. " Varada yelled at Dev to come back home to attend the function at home related to his marriage.

" Aunty I am busy right now. Please don't disturb me " Dev clenched his jaw and said.

" Dev.... Do you have any death wish ? I told you it's your dadi's order. Don't make her more mad.  That stupid girl  Lakshmi  already made maa Ji's temper loose from morning itself. In front of all relatives she made us......oh god I don't want to remember that. You come fast Dev or your dadi gonna kick me out from this house for sure. " Varada cut the call insisting Dev to come back.

" From no where I am getting some peace god..... One is in home to make my life hell as my wife and other is ..... shit.... ...." Dev grunted annoyingly and stood from his chair to leave.

" I will drive " Dev stopped Zahir from accompanying him. Then he took the car and drive off to Rathore villa driving very rashly.

" God knows who is going to get slaughtered by him today " Mohit sighed watching him leaving and mumbled to Zahir.

" Obviously it will be Lakshmi. There is no doubt in that " Zahir replied following with a heavy sigh and that was thinking about poor Lechu.

Rathore villa

"If she knew that they're going to be come early then why she let me do all those works. " Lechu was running inside the closet to select a dress to wear.

" What should I wear ? What should I wear? " She started pulling down everything to find a decent dress to wear.

" Atleast that old hag should have gave me something to wear. How can I go down wearing these? " She threw her dress to all sides. Meanwhile she grabbed her phone to call Govind.

" Hello appa....."

" We are on the way Lechu. Don't worry...... " Govind yelled at her through the phone due to traffic noise.

" Appa how you are coming ? " Lechu asked.

" I caught a taxi," he replied

" Are you alone ? Why you are coming alone carrying all those things.... "

" Then you should have sent a car with few servants from your palace to help dad" Adhya snatched Govind's phone from him and talked to Lechu

" Aadya you are with dad ? Thank god...... You did good....." Lechu felt relieved for a second knowing that her dad isn't alone.

" Wait, then what about your class ? " Lechu suddenly remembered that it's working day and Aadhya got class.

" I took a day leave. First time I am getting a chance to visit Rathore villa and my sister after her marriage. So I can bunk one class that's not an issue. But you tell me why you didn't send anyone to pick us ? " Lechu was speechless in front of her question. She don't understand what to say. Even though at first she felt relieved that Adhya is accompanying her appa but now she was scared.

Lechu can convince Govind with any lies but Adhya is not like that. Even a small thing caught in her eyes or she felt it weired then Adhya will dig into it's end and will clear her doubts at any cost. Lechu feared she will find Dev and his aunt's odd behaviour towards her and will tell that to her appa, then everything is finished.

" Hello...... Are you there di ? " Aadya called Lechu because there wasn't any reply from other side.

" Give it back.... " Govind snatched his phone from his daughter's hand and continued talking with Lechu.
" Lechu"

" Don't mind this mad girl. I didn't even think about it..... "

" Appa, I have to get ready soon. Someone came to groom me " saying this Lechu quickly cut the call and sat there staring at space. Her shoulders dropped down feeling helpless.

After that Lechu was like a Robot, a pre-programmed robot and she is moving according to it not by her own. She put a random outfit and made her hair into a messy bun. A simple white stone stud as earrings nothing else as ornaments.

She strides down the steps and the relatives made an entry into the house at same time. Dadi was already sitting on a huge cough and relatives who entered first took blessings from her. Everyone was well-dressed and groomed up with precious jewelries and all. Silk saree, neatly put up hair, big round bindi, vermilion, a heavy neckpiece along with mangalsutra, bangles .... In total they indeed looked like from a royal family which she saw in cinemas.

They all welcomed each other and shared some warm ,happy moments.  Everyone made themselves comfortable for a detailed chat. Parvathi was sitting beside Dadi and Varada was standing there with a fake smile on her face.

" Marriage was so sudden and when we get to know about it we couldn't believe actually. Boy who said he don't wanted to get married now agreed for it ? That made us wonder."one lady said.

" To be frank I am not that much happy badi ma. Earlier I brought a proposal for Dev from Mewar family. That time Dev wasn't interested and because of that you said no. Now when he agreed you didn't even informed me " Dev's aunt from a distant relation whined at dadi about some old issue.

"That's all old folks, Jadhav family is also nothing less." Dadi replied

" I know that family. I again forgot her name ? What is it ? Is it Bhoomi ? Daughter of Rishi and Uma ? She is a very good match for our Dev. Her modelling career is very successful one and watched all her...."

" It's not Bhoomi, her name is Adrushta Lakshmi. Daughter of Lakshmi Jadhav and Govind Varman." Said Parvathi interrupting that woman.

" Lakshmi Jadhav ? That woman who ran from her family and got married to a madrasi ? Badi ma what is this ? " Dev's aunt shouted in a shock and asked. Everyone has that wondered face and Lechu came there hearing what they said about her mother.

" Rani....... Think before what you are saying. Whoever she married Lakshmi is from Jadhav family and her daughter holds that blood. Moreover Dev liked her. Govind is a very nice man and very well goes with our family. What more we need ? " Dadi said in a serious tone to make everyones mouth shut.

" Varada..... Call Lakshmi " dadi asked Varada to bring Lakshmi but before that she  came there.

Everyone's face frowned very first and some started to laugh silently. Parvathi turned and looked at Lechu casually but even she was shocked to see her in that state. A simple salwar suit without any accesories. Most importantly there wasn't vermillion and mangalsutra which is very important for them. Varada scoffed at Lechu sarcastically.

" Looks like Dev accepted her because she is a charity case ? " Someone commented. Dadi looked disturbed and glared at both Parvathi and Varada. Lechu was becoming a laughing stock there and that same timeGanga came there accompanying Govind and Adhya.

" Appa...... " Lechu ran towards her dad so happily and hugged him.
Dadi welcomed him and introduced to other relatives.

" Lakshmi forgot to get ready or she wasn't interested to meet elders? " Govind's attention fell on the relatives talk when it was about his daughter Lakshmi.

" I think she still can't believe that she is Rathore family's daughter in law.  You didn't give her anything before sending her to Rathore family ?  Why she looks like she came a scr........ nothing I don't want to say it" another one said to Govind. He and Aadhya looked at the situation cluelessly as they don't understand what happened.

Others were also same they comment about Lechu as they felt like she was deliberately ignoring Dev's relatives by appearing not pleasantly. Govind was also confused why his daughter didn't groomed up. She should be wearing the most beautiful things which was gifted by her husband and ornaments she got from her family, that's the tradition.

" Parvathi.... " Dadi clenched her jaw and called Parvathi.
Parvathi understood why dadi called her in a warning tone and she quickly took Lechu with her.
" Come with me"

" Why you always want to get into others nerves ? Don't you have anything to wear something good ? Didn't Dev brought you anything ? " Parvathi was dragging her towards Dev's room by holding on Lechu's hand.

" I think he forgot " Lechu mumbled

" If he forgot then it's your duty to remind him about your needs and necessities. Also why you should wait for him to buy something. Don't you have money with you ? Can't you buy things for yourself ? You are also earning" Parvathi asked and Lechu remained silent.

" Go and wear something good. You should wear a silk saree ...  Don't you see how everyone looked very rich and elegant ? And look at you.... Our maids look much better than this. Because of you dadi is angry and your dad would have definitely felt bad to see his daughter like some roadside girl. Go and change quickly" Parvathi sent her inside the closet after all advices and enough scolding. Lechu stood at the door nervously without going inside.

" What are you waiting for ? " Parvathi rolled her eyes and yelled.

" I don't have a saree to wear. I only have casual wears and few designer wears. Also I don't have any ornaments. What I wore during wedding I gave it back to my appa for some needs. " Lechu whimpered and told Parvathi her exact problem.

Keeping her right hand on hip Parvathi looked at Lechu from head to toe with an impossible look.

" Since I don't have much time to waste I am not saying anything. Come with me " Parvathi put off her anger which rushed inside and took Lakshmi to her room.

It was first time Lechu is inside Parvathi's room and it was huge. Same area as Dev's room but interior is different. Most importantly it has natural lighting, open windows, indoor plants and nice view towards garden, separate reading area with old recorder and all. A Natraj statue finished in brass and her ghungroo kept beside it on a silk cloth piece. Dancer Parvathi Devi Maharaj's ghungroo is very famous and special. It's an antique piece which costs a fortune. Lechu feels nostalgic about her ghungroo which she got from her mother. She don't even remember where she threw it away that time.

" Wear this and get ready quickly. I am waiting here. I should take you with me or you won't come out even at night. " Parvathi grunted while selecting a saree for her and matching ornaments for it.

Lechu peeked into Parvathi's wardrobe and her jaw dropped down.

" Oh my god.... All these are yours ? " Just like typical Adrushta Lakshmi she forgets everything and jumped infront of the wardrobe checking Parvathi's accessories.

" Wow.... You got lots of collections. Even precious stones ?  " She commented very excitedly.

" This is so pretty...... on my god such a lovely jumka..... Can I take this.... " Picking up a huge golden earring ( jinka) Lechu asked to Parvathi.  In that excitement she even forgets that in front of whom she was standing and what she was asking. Parvathi put a long face and stared at Lechu.

" I ... I just ..... No I don't want " her excitement got vanished slowly and kept the earring back to its place.

" I was only watching everything .... " She quickly acted cool and kept her hand on next door handle of wardrobe thinking that it will also be same as others but....

" No....." Parvathi kept her hand on the door and closed it before Lechu could open completely. She was little startled when Parvathi shouted.

" Did I give permission to open it ? This is not a good manners Adhu.... I mean Lechu.... Oh god.... Lakshmi" Parvathi's scold Lechu for trying to open the door.

" Sorry " Lechu mumbled with a sad face

" Here go and change " Parvathi kept everything into her hand and said.  She didn't forgot to give the same earring which Lechu asked before . She looked at Parvathi with a surprised filled smile and then a wide grin but Parvathi turned her face.

Parvathi helped Lechu with the saree and rest of the things to get ready. After that quickly went down to meet the relatives. Now their next problem is Dev. He is not there when they came that's their issue. So aunty went to call him.

Rest of the conversation with them also didn't went well. They literally had problems with everything. No one has anything to say good about Lechu which was obvious.

After taking blessings from elders she had to give them gifts which her dad brought. According to the list which Varada gave, Govind did best as he can but he never knew that these people are never going to get happy with anything.

Lechu tried her best to distract Govind from their comments but she couldn't close their mouth and shut her dad's ears.

" Aadhya ..... You go out and see the house. There is a beautiful garden here" Lechu send her sister out first quickly. Atleast she shouldn't hear such hurtful comments which can make her disturb later.

" I think I did some mistake while selecting them " Govind looked at his daughter with a sorry face

" No appa..... don't say that. " Lechu scold him for thinking like that.

" Mr Varman , it was better you shouldn't have brought gifts than these cheap items. " Varada came to their side and shrieked at father and daughter.

" Aunty...... They are not that much cheap " Lechu spatted back

" Do you think that they don't know about it ? Why you want to ruin my Dev's name because of this " Varada grunted and left from there. Parvathi was uninterested to watch their drama and sat at a corner to finish pushing each seconds.

"Don't give rest of the gifts. They might won't like it" Govind said to his daughter holding a cover which he brought for Parvathi.

" Appa..... I will give it later.... I think you should leave now. " Lechu somehow wanted to sent her dad and sister from there to save them from more humiliation because once Dev is back nothing can be done.

"Lakshmi ..... " Meanwhile Dadi called Lechu and she ran towards her.

Govind stood there alone looking around no one to talk and Parvathi came to his side.

" I am her mother in law and first gift should be given to me but you missed that " Parvathi complaints to Govind.

" I didn't.....I mean this is for you " he quickly passed a beautiful shopping cover to her. Parvathi opened it from there itself and it was a beautiful saree. She checked it's price which was printed more than 15k. She smiled looking at it.

" You didn't like it ? " Govind asked with a pale face. Parvathi didn't say anything but suddenly her eyes caught on Govind's hand.

" What is that ? " Govind was hiding something behind his back and Parvathi noticed it.

" Huh ? Nothing. It's a gift for Lechu. She is fond of it and likes to wear..... " Parvathi took that small box from his hands, literally she snatched it from Govind while he was talking to her.

" Parva.... "

Before he could stop her Parvathi from opening it, she opened the box and saw lots of glass bangles in different colours.

" You were always like this. I will  get such meaningless expensive gifts from you, only because I am Lakshmi's friend and I will be with her all time. But for her you will buy such lovely things like glass bangles, flowers, candies, popsicles and what not. I was jealous....... Seriously Govind. That time I couldn't snatch anything from her because she was my best friend but now I can. So I am taking this. " Parvathi gave the saree back to Govind and took the bangles with her making him speechless.

Govind felt really awkward and turned to leave from there but stopped watching Mr Rathore in front of him.

" Hai.... " A weird greeting between two fathers. An awkward face of Govind and a bit jealousy face of Mr Rathore that's how they looked while shaking hands.

Dev's car rushed to Rathore villa and he pulled break right infront of the main entrance of house. Aadhya was standing there taking selfies very happilybecause she is standing inside Rathore villa. She wanted brag in her social media and post the photos there. She saw Dev coming and got very excited.

" Hai jeeju..... " Aadya raised her hand for a high five from him but Dev passed by her turning his face annoyingly.

Aadhya felt so embarrassed and she became cold suddenly which made her skin looked pale.

...................

" Parvathi please agree, she is my best friend's daughter and only ten years old. My friend wants Parvathi Maharaj to teach her daughter dance. She is running behind me to make you agree. Please Parvathi ..... She is ready to give the fees you want ..... "

" Sorry Rani, I won't teach dance to children, never. I don't want to take much strain you can say no to them. You know that I will only teach students who are in their twenties. Also I took a break from everything so please " Parvathi disagrees with the request of one relative which made her angry.

Lechu heared their conversation and looked at Parvathi doubtfully. Lechu was only 15 years old when she went to learn dance from Parvathi. But she remembers that in class she was the only girl who was in her below twenties rest were all adults.

Dev made an entry to there and then only dadi's face lightened up but he seemed to be in very bad mood. He was there only for a formality. He didn't even noticed anyone or recognised most of the faces. Just took blessings of random elders.

But his eyes betray him when it caught the attention of Lechu who was busy preparing the dining table. He came there to get some water and walked towards Lechu.

She hits her back on him when Dev came and stood behind her silently.

" Sorry " she apologize to him quickly.

" Water... " He asked for some water and Lakshmi quickly give it to him.

" Dev..... please don't be rude with appa in front of others. My sister is also here . I will hold your legs..... " Lechu pleaded to him secretly but he got distracted by a phone call. It was from office inorder to talk about the new project issue.

" Dev......" Govind came there to talk to his son in law but Dev left from there to attend the call by ignoring Govind.  He looked at Lechu who stood there like a statue.

" Dev is busy appa..... " Lechu said watching her dad's silence and pitiful look at her.

" Hmn ...... Hope he is not that much busy to ignore my daughter " he patted on her cheeks and gave a sarcastic but a little hurtful reply.

Govind was noticing Lechu's hands then and suddenly
pulled it to check what happened. Blisters were there inside the palm also looked rough and dry.

" What happened to your hands ? " He  enquired all worried.

" Nothing appa, it happened from cafe. While cleaning I handled some chemicals and they reacted. " Lechu lied.

"You never touch them then how this can happen? Look how rough it looks...... My pumpkins hand used to be very soft and gentle all the time now it looks like ....... Lechu tell me.... Are you hiding something from me ? This is not the smile I expected from you when I came here " he asked to her

" Appa.... Stop overthinking. I am all good. You know your daughter is a slow racer and it will take some time for me to adapt with everything. Nothing else...... " She condoled her dad and other than believing his daughter he doesn't had any other options.

After few minutes Dev got free and Govind went to meet him with his gift.

" I don't know whether you will like it but still I did my best to select this for you. " Govind passed him a shopping cover which had a branded shirt for him. Hesitantly though Dev recieved it only because everyone was watching him.
Neither he didn't smiled at Govind nor asked anything. From his expression itself it says that he wanted Govind to leave from his house as soon as possible.

" Dev is not going to use such cheap products then why you gave this ? You should have donated it. " Varada came to see the gift and commented badly.

" I gave that to my son in law. He can decide what to do with it. " Govind replied to Varada.

" It's not that much cheap. It costs around 5k " Aadhya said pouting her lips as she don't like the way Varada talked to her dad said.

Varada started to laugh hearing it and others also rubbed their nose to hide the laugh.

" 5k ? His bodygaurd Zahir wears such shirts in that cost. Now you want Dev and Zahir to wear same ? So it is true that Mr Govind Varman is completely broke now. He couldn't even afford things for his daughters marriage ? Is it why you married her off to Dev like she got a magic lamp. " Varada mocked Govind in front of others and asked.

" Aunty......" Lechu called her to stop blabbering.

" Dad ... Let's go..... " Aadhya took Govind from there. She looked scared and almost cried witnessing such scenes.

Dev was silent and same goes for Lechu. If she started to argue then with whom all she has to fight ? No one will be there to support her.

Govind sighed and looked at Lechu again for last time. He somewhat understood her helplessness and left from there silently without making it hard for Lechu.

Dev rolled his eyes watching the melodrama and head back to his room. Tears fell from Lechu's eyes watching his ignorance and thinking about how her appa left from there with his head down. She ran and stood at entrance door watching him leaving with Aadhya. She couldn't even ask anyone to drop them home. Parvathi wasn't there anywhere.

Lechu ran towards Dev's room to tell him something. She couldn't keep it inside her after watching her Appa leaving like no one from that house.

Dev shut opened the door of his room while lashing at the program director through the phone.

" If you people can't find solution for it then why you are there ? How you became a program director ? Resign that job and do something else. Without solution for current issue or with a new design no one had to be there to work for tomorrow. This is your last chance " Dev shouted to the program director and cut the call.

" Agrhh ..... Damn it..... " Dev felt a huge weight on his head thinking about new project and finishing it on time. But nothing was favorable in his side. He threw the gift cover which Govind gave towards the floor madly and it ended up on Lechu's feet.

Seeing that she completely broken down and took it from floor.

" You don't have to do that.... " She said while crying.

" My appa is completely broke, he don't even have enough money for his daily needs. In that situation he brought all these only because of me. You must don't need this but atleast you should have said something good.... ....... Leave it  To whom I am saying this ? " She swiped her tears and walked inside the closet hugging to the shirt.

Dev heared everything silently and sat on bed gritting his teeth. Then suddenly stood from there and went behind Lechu opening the closet door with a bang which made Lechu flinched.
