Part 41 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."

"Bhai... I just started working on the statement which you sent to me."

"Just leave it and follow me." He ordered him.

NK came out of his cabin hearing his order.

"What happened Nannav?"

"You too come with me."

"Me?"

"Yeah... you."

Akash and NK glanced at each other and followed Arnav. The communication in-charge rushed towards him with a print out. Arnav snatched it from his hand and headed towards the exit.

Khushi saw them going out of the office. Aman also came down from Arnav's cabin.

"Why are they leaving Aman? Anything serious?" She asked worriedly.

"Yes... they are going to RM."

"Is everything alright?"

"I can say that only after ASR's return."

"What do you mean?"

"He is going to sort Laya's problem out."

"Whaaaat! How does he know?"

"He knows everything... especially if it is a matter of you." Aman smirked.

"Why does he create problem in the family? Akash and Payal may get hurt." Khushi said nervously.

"What about you Khushi? Are not you going to be his family?"

Khushi was speechless.

"Yes, Akash and Payal will get hurt... can't help. They have to face the consequence. It's unavoidable."

Khushi sighed.

"Payal may feel bad about me. How could I be casual with Payal who is my DEVRANI?" she uttered it without thinking. Maybe that's what in her mind.

Aman grinned hearing that.

"DEVRANI? Really Khushi...?"

Khushi looked somewhere, taking a deep breath.

"Side by side... with your DEVRANI, think about your HUSBAND also. How could he be casual with you if you suspect him?"

Khushi gulped, hearing HUSBAND. She looked at him not answering.

"It seems you are perfectly ready to get married to ASR?"

"Shut up Aman... this is not funny. Ok? Don't know what hungama that cynic is going to do." She said wearily.

"How could he be calm when someone is putting his character on the fire?"

"Fire could not be burnt by fire." She murmured.

"Did you say something?" Aman smiled as if he didn't hear.

"Nothing." She left his cabin leaving grinning Aman. He was happy as she compared his character with FIRE.

Arnav sat on the driving seat and rode the car rashly like ever before. Thank God, they guarded themselves with their seatbelts.

"Where are you taking us, Bhai?" Akash asked hesitatingly.

"RM." Arnav answered in a word.

"Anything serious Bhai?"

"Yes." his eyes were on the road.

"May I know what that is?"

"You will get to know when we reach RM."

"But..."

NK pressed Akash's thigh and blinked his eyes, gesturing him to be calm. Akash looked at him like, do you know? NK turned his head towards the window.

Akash had no idea about what's happening whereas NK guessed the scenario. He wanted to see what Arnav is going to do. And he knew very well why Arnav wanted him to accompany him. Arnav wants someone to tell Khushi about what happens in RM. Who else other than NK could do that? NK was satisfied as Arnav was concern about Khushi's perspective.

RM

Raizada brother's entered the house making Raizada ladies wonder. They never come home so earlier like that day. Raizada ladies were having tea, sitting in the living room. Only Laya was missing.

"Hariprakash...." Arnav shouted.

The next minute, HP was in front of Arnav.

"Call Laya." He ordered.

HP rushed to her room to bring her whereas all the other bewildered.

"What happened Chotte?" Anjali stood on her feet nervously.

Arnav stopped her, showing his palm. Payal became nervous as she understood that something is wrong. She asked Akash through her eyes and he nodded his head left to right like, I don't know.

They saw Laya coming. She looked at Arnav who looked diabolic. Somewhat she understood that her story neared the climax. Don't know what Khushi told him.

"What did you tell Khushi?" Arnav asked her gritting his teeth.

"Me? I didn't say anything..."

"Don't lie..." he yelled.

"Why should I lie?"

Arnav extended the print out towards Payal.

"Look at that. Try to identify the number of the incoming call which ended at 3:47."

Payal check it and shocked, seeing Laya's number.

"Whose number is that, Payal?"

Without answering to him, Payal advanced Laya and slapped her hard.

"Why did you call Khushi? What did you tell her?" she shouted.

Laya looked down, holding her cheek.

"She said I'm in relationship with her..." Arnav said spitting fire through his eyes.

"No... Khushi is lying..." Laya defended.

NK interfered...

"No...she is not... at first, Khushi doesn't know whose call it was. She asked Aman to find the number. Aman asked the communication in-charge. I typed the number in my mobile when the in-charge dictated. As I already have Laya's number, it displayed her name. That's when we got to know Laya is the one who called Khushi and lied about Nannav."

Akash looked at him stunningly whereas Raizada ladies were not surprised as they knew her real avatar already.

"I love him, Di." Laya uttered in a gauzy tone.

"Shut up... I already told you it won't work..." Payal shouted.

Arnav headed towards his room. Anjali got panicked, seeing him leaving without sorting the issue.

"Chotte, where are you going?"

"I'm leaving RM, Di."

His stance made everyone shocked.

"But why Chotte?' Nani asked with tension.

"It won't be good to send our guest out of the house. At the same time, I can't stay here until this woman is here. So, I'm leaving. My marriage rituals will take place only at my place. This girl is not allowed there. She should not enter my place with any excuse. Understood?"

"I will send her back." Payal said.

"I don't care if you send her or not Payal. But I'm not ready to be here for a single minute because I don't want to make Khushi tensed about something which does not exist."

He took a step and Manorama stopped him.

"Wait a minute Arnav bituwa..."

Arnav stood, not looking at her.

"You are right, she is our guest. We should not send her out. But we can SHIFT her."

Everyone looked at Manorama, not understating her stance.

"Akash bituwa, take your wife and sister-in-law to our guest house. Until she stays in India, you and Payal take care of her. You can come back, after she leaves India. Ok?"

"Ok Ma." Akash was about to go to his room,

"Wait... no one needs to leave the house. I will go to my friend's place."

"No... Go back to our parent. Or else, I will tell them everything." Payal warned her.

"I will leave India in a week after attending my friend's marriage." She didn't wait for Payal's reply and went to her room to pack her stuff.

"I'm sorry Bhai..." Akash apologized.

"What's Khushi's stance?" Anjali asked NK worriedly.

"Don't know Di...she didn't say anything in open."

"We should be happy that she should not create scene." Manorama said.

"Haan, Manorama, if anyone would have been in her place, she had been messed it in hustle." Nani said.

"Don't know what is she thinking of me." Arnav said gritting his teeth wearily.

"She will understand..." Anjali said.

"No Di... she already has many issues with me... adding to it, this one..."

He said furiously.

"Don't worry Nannav. She won't conclude anything in haste." NK comforted him.

"Di, I have to go." Arnav started, heading towards the door.

Before Khushi leave the office, he has to meet her.

To be continued...
