"Sheetal..." hearing his roar sheetal came running downstairs.

"What happened arnav?" she asked calming her heavy breath.

"That is what i am dying to ask. What is happening behind my back sheetal?" he asked taking one step forward in threatening manner.

"What are you talking arnav?" sheetal questioned controlling her nervousness. She knows what is coming and she did prepared for that but did not expect this soon.

"Don't try to act smart sheetal" he warned her.

"What is going on here?" nani asked seeing the tension between her grandson and sheetal.

"Haan chotte, what is this? She is our guest, you cannot shout at her like this" chided anjali.

Hearing her his jaw clenched, "Guest...No one wants to know why i am behaving like this, instead of asking me the reason you are trying to make me worship your so-called guest"

"Chotte, she is your friend" anjali said disbelieving the fact that he's insulting sheetal who is close friend of him according to her.

The tension in air grows strong after anjali defended sheetal. Arnav is ready to pounce on but breaking their trance payal asked, "Where is khushi arnavji? I am calling her from past one hour but she's not taking my phone. I am worried"

"She's fine payal. She is in buaji house, she already informed me before going there" he replied controlling his anger and thanked his stars for having at least one soul who bothered about his wife whereabouts but what he missed was, she also didn't notice khushi's absence from yesterday itself like his family.

Turning his gaze away from payal, "Sheetal i am asking you something. What did you told to khushi?" he asked with gritted teeth.

"I didn't said anything" replied and shivered at the intensity of anger and rage she witnessed in his eyes for her.

"Don't lie sheetal. Didn't you told khushi that aarav is my son? Didn't you produced fake DNA report and handed it to khushi?" shouted throwing the bomb on the occupants.

"What?..." four gasps erupted in the living room.

"I did not told anything of that sort" sheetal defended herself.

"You must be kidding isn't it chotte/arnavji?" anjali and payal asked at the same time worrying for the life of their respective sibling.

"I am not kidding di. This was what sheetal told to khushi..." before arnav complete his sentence.

"What are you trying to tell arnav? Why would i tell khushi like that?" sheetal asked gathering her shattering courage.

"One more lie sheetal, i'll kill you for sure" sheetal jumped from her place hearing his yell. It is not yelling, it is fury which would kill anyone who dare to go near him and mess with him.

"Chotte, what is this new problem? Is really aarav your son?" anjali asked coming out of her musings and praying to god that whatever she heard till now was a sick joke.

An instant shock waved over on arnav face. He did not expect this, at least not from his di. Before he recovers from the shock he heard his nani speaking,

"Sheetal betiya, why are you silent? What did you told to khushi? Is it true aarav is..." the elder women cannot continue after that. She didn't even wish in her dreams that she could face this day. She feels as if they are going back to 14years where her daughter is betrayed. Same is happened with anjali and now arnav to landed in this mess. "Why her family have to suffer like this always?" she thought wiping her tears.

"I am sorry naniji. I cannot hide the truth for long, i guess. Yes, aarav is arnav's son and it is just accident" sheetal faked her cry which is impossible for her that moment as her tears are stubborn like her that didn't fall from her eyes. She forcefully poked her eyes with her middle finger when none noticed.

"She is lying dammit! You better accept your lie and pack your bags from here and your game is over sheetal" he again roared.

"Wait chotte, we cannot come to conclusion without investigating. Here she put an allegation on you, how can you expect us to sit silent and throw her away" said nani.

"Dammit...You're asking her as if she is one pure soul who considers telling lie is a sin" he cursed loudly.

Nani stopped him and asked sheetal to continue.

"Arnav and me studied in Harvard in the same department. We both are alike so we bonded well as we both always ended up forming a team in doing assignments. Day by day we grow closer, i started to love him. He asked me to be his girlfriend which i agreed instantly. Though i am his girlfriend he didn't consider me as one, he behaved as a friend. I too didn't consider that as a big problem, i thought my love is enough for both to lead a life. During our graduation night, we pretty got drunk and he confessed his love to me, we got carried away. Being in love with him i too didn't stop him but next day itself he broke up with me. I was devastated, i thought all will be fine after that night...he simply tagged that night as a mistake..." hiccupped she continues further taking a glass of water

"I don't want to push him in an unwanted relationship so i set him free like he wished. After four months i got to know that i am pregnant and i don't have the heart to abort my child which is the proof of my love. My parents disowned me when i denied for abortion. I moved out of my house and started to live separately with the help of my friend. Days passed hardly, i want to contact arnav and i badly needed his support but i know he will not love me or my child so i restrained myself from contacting him. After aarav born he became my universe, my thoughts of contacting arnav fly out of my mind. I started to live for aarav though he always reminded of arnav in all ways. I always wanted arnav near me when aarav first smiled, first laughed, first crawled, first sit on his own and started walking on his own, his first word and his first school day. I consoled myself saying this is my fate and decided to give aarav the world which he wish but alas! he wants a father. I failed to give him a father love, he starts acting arrogant after few days of his school and that is the worst time in my life. He wants a father like his friends have one. However i tried my best but at last failed. I showed arnav's picture to aarav so that he'll stop pestering for his father but it backfired.

Without having no choice i landed in india a month before in search of arnav. Luckily i find him in market i thought finally i found my love and father of my child. But my happiness didn't last more than a minute, arnav introduced his wife to me. My world slipped beneath my feet. I decided to leave india and informed the same to aarav who denied outrageously. I convinced him but he put the condition of staying in delhi, he pleaded me that at least he could see his father from far. So i applied job and that turned out to be arnav company after that you all know what happened, we stayed here on the insistence of khushi. Unfortunately, khushi came to know all these in karwachaut. I don't know she was doubting aarav's father is arnav from long. She came to me with the reports of DNA test and i have no point to deny that. I am sorry naniji, i created a huge mess here, i'll leave from her" she finished wiping her tears.

"You are leaving no where" anjali said shocking arnav but she cared less. Her heart pained to hear her side of story, she felt no girl should undergo this pain when she herself felt that not so before but what she missed was that her sister-in-law life also pinned with their lives. Whatever decision they take, will affect khushi first.

"Di you're believing her over me" asked arnav shocked out of wits.

"Why khushi betiya is not here? Is sheetal truth is the reason for her absence?" nani asked finally.

"Yes! This sheetal faked the same story with khushi too. Being selfless soul she left rm and applied divorce" he bit out harshly.

Another gasp escaped from their mouth. This day can't be worse than that.

"Khushi wants divorce, what will happen to her life?" payal mumbled herself with teary eyes.

"This is not true right. Aarav is not your son" payal asked to arnav with hope.

"I assure you payal, aarav is not my son and khushi always be my wife" arnav promised her.

"Then what about aarav chotte?" questioned anjali making him grit his teeth, if possible his teeth will be kissing the ground by now.

"Chotte please clear this mess soon. Four lives attached to this. I don't want anyone to hurt in this process but at the same time, i don't think a girl will lie on her child parenting" this time nani says indirectly believes sheetal.

"I have proof" arnav said gaining the attention once again on him. Sheetal was literally shivering in her place hearing him.

"Think sheetal. You should not accept defeat easily. Think...before arnav submit the proof, somehow you have to make the family believe in you. If he throws you out then our entire plan will be spoiled. No i cannot make that happen at least not until khushi find out who doing all this. Hope khushi saw the message and done the background check. And hope i did good by hiding the person who keep an eye on us and instead messaged their number to khushi, if i told her the name then she'll not trust me. At least after finding whose number is that, she'll not blindly trust her family members" sheetal thought and determined to prove arnav wrong and defeat the person whom behind this mess and got reminded of how she messaged the number to khushi.

When payal and nani was busy in gossiping and anjali with aarav as she planned, Sheetal walked to one of the room and made the room up and down searching something. After few minutes her lips stretched into a wide grin, hurriedly she took the phone and noted the number before placing it in the same place. Making sure no one noticing, she silently went out of the room and messaged the same number from her phone to khushi. *(Refer chapter 3)*

___________

Did aarav really arnav son? What khushi and sheetal planning? If they are together then what happened in earlier was a drama? If yes then why do they act? Did sheetal is really good or she is acting before khushi too? Why khushi join her hands with her husband's ex? Why anyone from their own family ready to backstab them? Did sheetal know who is the family member? If yes then why didn't she told the name directly? If sheetal told the name to khushi will she believe her? Why are they doing the divorce drama? Is it really a drama or khushi going to divorce arnav? If it is drama then why? Is it because the person want to separate arshi? Is sheetal is also involved with them? And finally, what do you think, will sheetal succeed in her plan?

Stay tuned to know the answers!!!!
