I don't know what I wrote. Ignore the typos, grammatical mistakes and even the update doesn't make any sense. 

Part 22:

"Everything is set! We can expect the outcome in the coming days. If we keep things a little loose, then the intrusion can happen tonight itself."

"No, I need to make sure about other things. I don't want to take any risks. I want everything to happen as I want. Not as others think or want. Whatever happened till now or the time and chances I wasted/lost were enough. Not anymore. I need to see what will happen and I'm ready for that too. I can't lose this chance now."

"I understand, let's see what happens now. I will call you again with the next updates."

"Sure, thank you."

"Mr. Raizada, can you try moving your legs and hands? I just want to check the damage your mussels had and then I can understand what to do or not." asked the physiotherapist.

Nodding his head, Arnav tried to move his legs and hands. He, with difficulty, was able to move his hands. But with legs, that's not the case. How much he tried, he couldn't move them, not even a bit. And with the trails he did, it pained him.

"I an't," whispered Arnav, with painful eyes. (I can't)

Khushi along with the trio, looked pained seeing Arnav in pain.

Nodding his head, the physiotherapist helped Arnav to sit comfortably. He tried to move Arnav's legs in a few postures to know the condition of the muscles. After checking for some more minutes, he gave an assuring smile to everyone.

"I know it's difficult to walk now. But you need to try your best. I understand what to do and how to help you to walk. We will do a few simple exercises every day and some walks. I'm sure you will be able to walk soon. And... I mean...," the therapist hesitated a bit.

"What's wrong?" asked Aman and Akash at the same time.

"We need to give him one treatment which will help his muscles to..., you know..., like wake up. I mean, his mind was in complete shock after the accident. That's the main reason for his temporary loss of voice. And also that shock made his muscles freeze. So, with a simple, little, and small shock, we can activate his muscles. Don't worry, it's a completely safe procedure. Nothing will harm Mr. Raizada. (A/N: I don't know anything about these treatments. It's just fiction, and please take it as it is. Anything can happen here :P ) I can assure you," said the therapist.

Khushi looked apprehensive after hearing the therapist.

"Are you sure there will not be any side effects?" Asked Akash.

"Of course I'm sure. If you have any concerns, you can ask Dr Praveen or Dr. Dev regarding this. Just let me know what you decide, then we can plan the treatment," said the therapist and left the room to give them time.

Nodding their heads to his words, both Aman and Akash called both the doctors to inform them. After talking with them and getting assured by them they gave their consent to the therapist to go on with the treatment. But Khushi was skeptical about it.

"Don't worry, Mrs Raizada. Mr, Raizada does not even know the shock or feel any pain. The shock will be very minor for him but it affects the muscles. He will be fine," assured the therapist.

Nodding her head, Khushi reluctantly agreed. NK volunteered to stay with Arnav while treatment went on, Aman and Akash went to AR to complete their work. They sent Khushi to RM, much to her dislike, as they felt she wouldn't be able to see the treatment.

As all of them left the premises, they missed the man who was looking at them wide-eyed.

"So, whatever he said was true. What are you doing here with them, Khushi Ji?"

:::::::::::::

Khushi entered the house to find that Nani, along with Mami, Payal and Dadi left for the temple, where Anjali was at home. She quickly formed a plan. Before she went to Anjali's room, she saw her coming downstairs. She asked HP in a low voice, to not let anyone inside her house without her knowledge. She also asked him to serve them juice.

"Di, I'm about to come to you. I heard everyone went to the temple and you stayed back. Why Di? Are you okay? Why didn't you go to the temple? I'm really sorry for not spending time with you. Learning office work is really tiresome, Di," said Khushi, holding Anjali's hand leading her to the sofas.

"You've become busy these days, Khushi Ji. You don't have time for us, for me. You have changed a lot," said Anjali. Her accusing eyes were wet with unshed tears and Khushi is not that naive to not to understand the accusation.

"I understand that, Di. I'm sorry for not being able to spend time with you and all. But I'm not sorry for changing myself. I'm not sorry for whatever I'm doing. I know I'm changing. I'm becoming a workaholic, and I want to be, just like Arnav Ji. I want to prove myself that I am capable. I want to prove that by marrying me Arnav Ji didn't make any mistake. I'm hearing a lot these days, Di. I'm facing a lot too, so many insults, so many accusations and much more. Some people don't want me to stay at this home. They want to throw me out because they are feeling that I'm a threat to everything they want or desire. They are framing me as if I'm behind Arnav Ji's wealth. What will I do with all this money, Di? You know me, right? Money can never be a priority for me. I will die to choose money over any relationship. And about becoming workaholic, I wouldn't have understood why Arnav Ji was always busy with work if I wouldn't have joined the office. You also will understand if you work there, Di. You will understand where Arnav Ji took AR, single-handedly. I know, he had help from others. But, I can proudly say that, only Arnav Ji was the main reason for the company's place in the market. So, I along with Jiju, Aman Bhai, and Nanneh, are trying our best to keep that place. It will be better to maintain the same than to lose. Isn't it Di?"

Khushi looked at Anjali, who is looking back at her.

"I know you are feeling confused listening to my words. I never accuse you of anything, Di. Because your mind was fed with all these. And I'm sure who did that. Arnav Ji got enemies after he got successful. But here I'm, doing nothing except trying to fulfill my duties and have enemies already. And people are accusing me for that! How ironic! Right Di?" asked Khushi looking at Anjali's averting eyes.

"I want to show you something, Di. But before that, can you promise me that this will be between only both of us, ONLY US? Not even to Nani, Mami, Jiji, Akash Jiju and others? Can you promise me that?" asked Khushi, "Tell me Di, Can you promise?"

Even though sheAnjali is confused, she nodded her head. With a thudding heart, Anjali felt that whatever Khushi wants to show her will change things in their lives. But she was not sure, so she wanted to see it! She looked at Khushi taking an envelope from her laptop bag and a few papers then. Khushi checked the papers once before showing them to Anjali, which made Anjali shocked and confused at the same time.

"Look at them, Di. I got these papers from Mr. Roy. That's the Will of Arnav Ji and it was registered the next day of my first day at the office. That day, Jiju and Mama Ji took me to a meeting with Mr. Roy. I opposed them, Di. I said I don't want any shares in AR. I never wanted to sign those documents. But I did. Do you know why Di? Because Mr. Roy said that if I don't sign everything will go to the charitable trust. He also said that If I accept Arnav Ji's nomination, then everything will stay with our family. So I had to sign them Di," said Khushi, making Anjali more confused.

Before Anjali or Khushi said anything they heard the doorbell ring. Khushi prayed to God that the person on the door shouldn't be their family member. She needs to talk with Anjali, and it's important. She kept looking at the door, where Anjali looked at Khushi, trying to understand her words. 'What does she mean what she said? According to Chote's Will, Khushi will be a 30% shareholder and main member of AR's board. Then why was she saying that everything will stay with the family? Is she that naive to understand the real meaning of being a nominee to someone? Doesn't she know that she will get everything, legally?' thought Anjali. Her chain of thoughts was disturbed by HP's voice.

"Khushi Bhabhi, Arnav Bhaiyya's vakeel (lawyer) has come to meet you. He said he has a few papers which need your signatures," said HP.

"Please bring him inside HP Ji. and also bring some tea for him," said Khushi, thanking God for sending Mr Roy before anyone comes.

"What is Mr Roy doing here?" asked Anjali.

"You will know, Di," said Khushi and welcomed Mr. Roy.

"Ma'am, I prepared the documents you asked me to. Are you sure about this, Ma'am?" he asked, before giving them to Khushi.

"More than anything, Mr. Roy," said Khushi, taking a photo of all the pages and sending them to someone. Then gave them to Anjali and asked her to read them. After a few minutes, she got the reply to her message and she was satisfied with the reply.

"What?" asked Anjali. She never felt as confused as she is now. "What do these papers say? Khushi Ji? What are you trying to do?"

"I'm giving you what you rightfully own, Di. I'm transferring my rights as nominee to you," said Khushi.

"Hold on! What's happening here? You hold 30% of shares, you are the nominee of Chote's everything, you are in the position of decision making in AR and Your single yes can change so many things; and you are saying that everything is with family? What's the matter, Khushi? Do you even understand what you are saying? And what are these papers? Don't you know that we can't change the nominee? Don't you know that if Chote mentioned you as nominee then everything will be yours after his departure?" asked Anjali.

"What?" Khushi got shocked and looked at Mr. Roy, who avoided looking at her. "But Mr. Roy said, Nominee means just taking care of everything before the rightful owner takes care of everything?" said Khushi, looking at both Anjali and Roy.

"Mr. Roy? What's all this?" asked Anjali, her voice rising. She couldn't take that her family member, whom her brother loved dearly, was misguided with most trustful employee of their company.

"Ma'am, I ask for your pardon. But that day, I didn't have any other choice than to lie to Khushi ma'am. She wasn't ready to accept as ASR's heir. She was so adamant about accepting her rights. But I couldn't let ASR's hard work go to the charitable trust. He gave me this responsibility of handing over everything to the rightful owner. I'm sorry, but I'm not regretting what I did. I understood that Khushi Ma'am needs to understand and to know a lot of things regarding business, nominees and all these legal formalities. And I was planning to teach her everything before she knew the meaning of being a nominee. My intentions were never wrong. I will give my life before the situation arises to betray ASR. You need to trust us, Anjali Ma'am. Not everyone is wrong at the same time, not everyone is right. Sometimes, we find a mere stranger is more trustworthy and loyal than a family or friends. Please don't look at us as if we did a sin, ma'am. We are just trying to protect all of you," said Mr. Roy.

"Trying to protect us? What do you mean by that?" asked an anxious Anjali.

"Mr. Roy, stop it! Whatever you said and did, was enough! You may go now. I will meet you in the office for whatever you lied to me about. Now, just leave," said Khushi.

Anjali can see that these two are hiding something big from her. Before Roy moved from his chair, Anjali stopped him.

"Not until you say what you are talking about. You are not moving away,"

"Di, please, you don't need to know about that! We are taking care of that, please, Di," Khushi tried holding Anjali's hand but wasn't successful.

"Mr. Roy, I'm asking something!" Anjali asked not with much patience.

"Um... I..., We..., I mean...," Roy stuttered to answer.

"Since when did Chote's employees start stuttering?" asked Anjali in irritation.

Roy took a deep breath to tell Anjali what's happening out there, but was stopped by Khushi.

"No, Mr. Roy, don't even think about it. We told you not to reveal this to anyone. Don't make this mistake," Khushi said.

"Shut up, Khushi. Not a word from you. And you Mister, out with now," Anjali shouted in anger.

Taking another deep breath, Mr Roy voiced the secret Khushi, Aman and he was safeguarding. "There is a threat to whoever gains ASR's wealth, ma'am. We have all the proof. And Khushi ma'am is trying to...,"

"And you said more than necessary, Mr. Roy. Please leave, NOW!" Khushi ordered, before Anjali came out of her shock. Understanding the situation, Roy left from there.

"Di? I'm sorry, Di. I never wanted to know this. I never wanted to scare you or anyone in the family. I'm just trying to...Di, please talk to me!" asked Khushi.

"Threat? To the family?" asked Anjali in shock.

"Di, we are working on this. No need to worry about anything. I increased the security around our house and all of you. Nothing is going to happen, I will never let anything happen to you. You can trust me in this, Di. You all are my Arnav Ji's family. He loved you all more than his life. And I will do anything to safeguard you all. Please Di, don't take tension," Khushi pleaded. She is feeling bad, seeing Anjali in this vulnerable condition.

Anjali sat looking at the young girl, who is facing a lot at her small age. Suddenly something hit her mind. Her eyes got wide thinking about the possibilities.
