Part 40 Anonymous Call

After meeting her father in Anav's cabin, Khushi came to her cubicle. The intercom of her cubicle rang. She attended it.

"Khushi, someone wants to talk to you." the receptionist Sowmya said.

"Who is that Sowmya?"

"She said she is your friend."

"My friend?" Khushi frowned.

If she is her friend, why does she call on office number? She stiffened herself.

"Ok... connect me."

Soumya connected her with the person.

"Is this Khushi?" the person asked.

"Yeah...who is speaking?"

"Whoever am I, It doesn't matter at all. There is something which you should know."

"What?" Khushi asked.

"You are getting cheated."

"Me?"

"Yes..."

"Who is cheating me?"

"ASR..."

Khushi was stuck.

"I know you are shocked. Any girl gets shocked hearing about the person who she is going to marry."

Khushi was silent.

"Do you know LAYA... Payal's sister?"

"Mmmm"

"ASR is in a relationship with her. She is in India just for ASR. ASR wants you for his business establishment. He just wants your BRAIN He will conquer everything if you are with him. That's why he wants to marry you because he doesn't want you to work for any company other than AR."

"Why she is letting this marriage happen? Why she has not opposed this marriage?"

"Do you think anyone could oppose ASR? She is a mere girl. How could she fight with ASR?"

"Ok... I will talk to Raizadas...."

"No no... please don't do that."

"Why?"

"They will throw not only Laya but also Payal out of RM. They are not good people. They are trained actors. They show themselves as a saint. They can stoop so low. Don't get stuck into that family. Save yourself. And save an innocent girl's life. Please..."

The call got disconnected. Khushi closed her eyes gulping.

Laya smirked, looking at her phone. As she ignited the flame in Khushi's mind, Khushi will take care of the rest. Khushi is a brilliant girl. She will connect the dots easily and left from Arnav's life and she won't trust anyone's words. Then it won't be hard for Laya to get Arnav. Laya tapped her own shoulder proudly.

AR

Laya was right. Khushi is a brilliant girl but not in the way Laya expected. How could she know Khushi's way of handling problems?

Khushi stood from the seat. She headed to Aman's cabin. Aman smiled at her.

"Aman, I need your help.... It's urgent." Khushi said urgently.

"Anytime..."

"A few minutes ago, I got a call through our office number. The call ended at 3:47. I want that number. Could you give me the number?"

"Of course, it's very simple. Our company has a communication system in which we can see the entire incoming and outgoing number list. But whose call it was?"

"I don't know."

"You said the call was for you?"

"Yes, but it was an anonymous call."

"Anything serious?"

"I'm not sure...until I get to know the caller." Khushi shrugged her shoulder.

She and Aman looked at the entrance, hearing,

"What call?"

It was NK.

"Nanne, I want to talk to you very important... before that, (turning towards Aman) get me the number, Aman."

"We can get the number in a few minutes Khushi. First, tell us about the call. Who spoke with you?"

"It was a girl. She said something about Mr. Raizada and Payal's sister Laya."

"Whaaat?" NK shrank his face.

"She said Mr. Raizada is in a relationship with Laya."

"This is rubbish..." Aman gritted his teeth.

Khushi told them the full content of the call.

"Don't believe this Khushi... Nannav hates her forget about LOVE. He doesn't even talk to her. She is the one who is in love with him."

"Don't say it's LOVE," Aman said irritatingly.

"Yeah... Everyone knows how she roamed behind him at the time of Akash and Payal's wedding. He didn't even get participated in their Sangeeth ceremony just because of her. She is such an irritating character."

"I think the person who called Khushi is none other than Laya." Aman said.

"I too think the same," NK said irritatingly.

"Do you have her number?" Khushi asked.

"Yeah... could you identify her voice?"

"Undoubtedly... but... what if she made someone talk to me?"

"There is a chance for that too..." Aman said.

"Let it be... what harm if we try?" NK asked.

"But not now. I want to know whose number is that" Khushi said.

"Ok... wait."

Aman called the communication in-charge.

"I want an incoming number immediately. The call got ended at 3:47."

"Just stay on the line, sir."

"Yeah..."

In two minutes,

"Sir, shall I tell you the number?" the in-charge asked him.

"Yeah... "

Aman gestured NK to note the number down. NK typed the number on his mobile and it showed LAYA's name. The trio looked at the mobile, bewildered.

"Didn't I say, only she could do such nasty things? She spoke about our family women and see, what she had done? Just because of Payal Bhabhi, we are tolerating that filthy creature. Or else Nannav would have kicked her out of RM long ago."

"Did you believe her Khushi?" Aman asked her in a feeble tone.

Khushi sighed.

"You may think "a girl won't lie in the matter which connects with her reputation" but not everyone is the same Khushi. Don't think this issue from your perspective... She is not like you." NK said.

"NK is right Khushi. She is hitting in your week point. She knew where to hit. That's why she cleverly stopped you from talking about the issue with Raizada women." Aman said.

"She might have thought that I will talk to her about the issue secretly. Or I would fight with Mr. Raizada" Khushi said.

"Will you talk to her?" NK asked horrified.

"No, certainly not... she may turn the table in her favor. She may say that I'm suspecting their relationship, right?" Khushi asked him.

"Exactly... that's what she wants." NK gritted his teeth.

Aman sighed in relief as Khushi didn't suspect Arnav.

"What will you do Khushi?" NK asked.

"What do you want me to do?"

"Don't think badly about Nannav. I agree he is a little cynic..."

Cutting him,

"Little?" she folded her lips.

NK sighed.

"Okay.... He is totally cynic but he is a gem in the matter of women. And he completely hates Laya. He never let her near him. She tried her level best to trap him but he has not given her a single chance."

Khushi nodded YES and went to her cubicle said nothing.

NK looked at Aman with a face full of worries. Aman blinked his eyes.

"She won't take any decision in haste. Don't worry."

"I know... but... it's about Nannav... this reason is a good chance for her to break the marriage."

"Do you think she will break the marriage on someone's statement?"

"I don't know Aman. My mind is not working. Let's see." NK left Aman's cabin.

The trio has no idea; their BOSS has been hearing their talks. Arnav saw Khushi rushing towards Aman's cabin. Seeing her facial expression, he became curious. He thought she will talk with Aman about her father's arrival. But this is something he didn't expect. No need to say he was seething in anger. How dare Laya call Khushi? This is not done... she has to pay for this. He got back to his cabin and paced here and there. He saw Aman entering his cabin. Arnav looked at him.

"ASR... I have to tell you something very important."

It was not hard for Arnav to understand what Aman wants to tell. He is his friend, after all.

"Payal's sister is playing her cards. She had called Khushi a few minutes ago. She had told her that you are in a relationship with her."

Arnav gritted his teeth.

"She must be revealed immediately. Or else you will lose Khushi's trust completely. After that, there is no use of blaming Khushi."

Arnav gulped hard. Doesn't he know Khushi? She will never agree to marry him if he has not proven himself.

"But... Payal..." before Aman completed his stance,

"I don't care about Payal anymore. Just because of her and Akash, I'm tolerating that madwoman in RM. Not anymore... I don't care about any damn..." He roared.

Taking his coat, he left the office wrathfully.

To be continued....

Next Inkitt update

Out of RM

Arnav descended the stairs while dialing the communication in-charge.

"Get me the print out of today's incoming call list." He ordered.

"Yes,sir."

The in-charge acted fast as it was ASR's order.

Arnav came to Akash's cabin.

"Akash, come with me."
