Anjali dragged her husband outside and into the garden of Shantivan immediately he arrived from his night outing.

"Where the hell have you been since last night huh?" Anjali gritted the teeth in anger to prevent herself from shouting and Shyam rolled his eyes at her.

"I needed to think okay...... And stop nagging me because I am the one who will be in deep waters if Shashi speaks, we are lucky Khushi hasn't revealed to Arnav about me being her ex or else he will definitely slit my throat. " Shyam replied scared as he rubbed his throat imagining Arnav doing it.

"We are both in deep waters together...... Don't you dare think I won't get into trouble if Arnav knows I knew all along and was also your mistress and helped you divorce your wife for us to be together..... He will kill me and I will lose everything..... We have to find a way to keep Shashi's mouth shut. "

"Am if I refuse then what? " a voice yelled from behind and they both turned stunned seeing Shashi behind them.

Shashi started clapping staring at them as they gulped in fear seeing the determined and fearless look in his eyes.

"Who would have thought the innocent looking woman was a shameless mistress and knows about her husband's atrocities but is silent?..... You two belong to each other and if you think you can lay a hand on me without facing the consequences then you are wrong....... I heard you had a fall out with your brother and he loves Khushi in ways I have only seen Khush love Shriya and he will bury the two of you alive if you do anything to hurt her because I know you two will use Khushi to threaten me to keep quiet but I won't work because I will not allow it...... Khushi may be angry at me at the moment but she will tear the two of you to shreds of she finds out especially you Shyam...... You and your husband have the next three hours to leave this house or else I will make sure everyone knows about the two of you. " Shashi yelled and Anjali and Shyam flinched.

"Yyyyooou..... Won't dare? " Shyam challenged even though he was scared and Shashi burst out in laughter and pulled the phone from his pocket and typed something on it and looked back at them.

"I knew you were up to no good so I had already followed you and recorded our conversation and sent it to my friends for save keeping. " Anjali and Shyam eyes widened in shock. "They won't hesitate to send it to Arnav if you dare touch me or Khushi........ Your three hours starts now. "

Anjali limped out of there fast and Shyam followed her.

Both entered their room and immediately started packing all of their belongings while cursing Shashi.

Two hours later, Anjali and Shyam come down with their bags and suitcases being pulled out into the lounge by the Prakash brothers.

Mami, Nani, Buaji and Shashi were sitting in the hall when they saw them come down.

"Hello hi bye bye...... What's going on here? " Mami asked confused.

" Mami..... The house is ready so I and Rani Sahiba are moving to the house today. " Shyam replied trying to sound as convincing as possible.

"But we haven't seen the house yet and how could you all just leave without us making sure Anjali has all the help she needs? " Nani questioned and Shashi stepped forward.

"Don't worry Deviyaniji...... Your son in law looks like a great man and he loves his wife...... I am sure all arrangements has been already made to make the apple of the Raizada family comfortable and am sure you can visit them in a few days to confirm how good Anjali's house is for her and I think he has already been preparing the house to fit her taste and that's why he hasn't been around of late..... It's better she starts adjusting to her own home now to make the transition easier...... Trust her and trust him too. " Shashi voiced out innocently looking at Nani who smiled and nodded.

Shyam and Anjali were shocked by the avatar of Shashi who has gone from a tiger to a dove.

"Hello hi bye bye...... Shashiji is absolutely right...... And we will visit you in a few days...... Now take care of yourself and the baby and don't hesitate to call me of you need anything help. " Mami said sincerely and Anjali nodded and hugged both of them.

Nani and the others walked them out and saw them entered Shyam's car and drove out.

Anjali glared at Shashi which was only noticed by buaji who looked confused and turned to his brother only to find a smirk on his face.

"Hey Nandkishore what's going on? " She thought looking at her brother suspiciously.

Nani and Mami waved at them as their car and one with their luggages followed.

"Don't be sad Deviyaniji. " Shashi said and they walked up to him. "I know you are sad but she has to start being independent for her to be a good mother and this is the first step. "

Nani sighed and nodded.

"Anyways have you heard from Khushi? " Nani asked and Shashi shook his head sadly. "She needs time and it's not easy for someone to deal with something like this...... To live with the woman whose action caused your parents death is not easy left alone for that woman and others. " Nani threw an accusing look at Buaji who looked down in shame. "Taunt you for being an orphan when she is responsible and has been kept in the dark....... I up until now can't forgive the other woman and my late son in law who was having an affair that led to my daughter death...... I know my daughter could have chosen a different way but she didn't and it always make me sad....... Khushi is really devastated and she is not even speaking to Arnav left alone Suhani or Aman...... She needs time and don't lose hope okay. "

Shashi nodded and smiled at the old woman.

Payal who was standing behind them was fuming in anger at the mention of Khushi's name.

"That witch is always wanting attention...... And babuji is sitting doing nothing while they are slandering Amma's name.... Why can't anyone understand why she did what she did...... She just wanted a better life and it's that too wrong to ask or do anything for a comfortable one...... Look at me, I don't love Akash but I know he would give me the life I wanted but now it's all starting to crumble to the ground because of that Khushi and unfortunately she is the only one who can fix this..... I have to make her like me again just like she did before after all she has always been selfless and if Akash sees me becoming a good sister, he will warm up to me again and with Anjali gone, I will soon rule this house" Payal thought with a smirk on her face and entered the mansion before anyone could spot her.

Outskirts of Delhi, Aman was following a car diligently so that he won't be spotted.

"Where is maa going? " Aman thought as he followed the car his mother was in.

He had gone home to check on his mother who hasn't been feeling well only to find her entering a car in a hurry and immediately followed her.

The car stopped at a park and he saw his mother get dow  and looked around before entering the park.

"What is maa doing here? "

Aman got down and followed her but made sure no one saw him.

He followed the pathway and saw his mother standing with Aditya Singhania and he was confused as to how they knew each other.

He moved closer and hid behind a tree closer to them and he was shocked hearing the words from Aditya Singhania's mouth.

"How is our son? "

"My son only mine. " Suhani yelled and Aditya sighed.

"I know no amount of sorry will fix what I did but please can we put all this behind us and live a happy life with our son and niece. "

A loud slap landed on Aditya's cheek and he held his cheek looking at Suhani in shock.

"You left me for money..... You chose money over us..... I wanted to tell you I was pregnant that day but instead you shoved a divorce paper onto me all because you didn't want to be a poor man..... You are a coward Aditya and I admire your baby brother who was courageous enough to leave your mother and all that wealth for the woman he loves..... You used me and lied to me..... You made me believe you were a poor man, a common employee and like a fool I believed you but no more and if you think I will believe that stupid story of you thinking I cheated on you with Mohan than better stop your nonsense because to the world Mohan  Mathur is the father of Aman and will forever be his father. " Suhani cried out.

"Please listen to me Suhani..... Mohan is not the innocent man you thought he was.... He was the one who made me believe you knew who I was and it was your plan to trap me and seeing you and him naked in bed made me believe him. " Aditya said and Suhani yelled at him.

"Just shut up Aditya..... And don't you dare slander the name of the man who stood up for me when you left and helped me raise my son.... Instead of being grateful to him, you are slandering his name. "

Aditya sighed not knowing how he will prove Mohan the late husband of Suhani was the one who broke them up.

"I, " Aditya stopped and his eyes widened in shock and Suhani looked at him confused and she followed his gaze only to find Aman standing behind them with tears in his eyes.

"Aman? " Suhani whispered as it dawned on her that his son had found out the truth.

Aman shook his head and run out of there with Suhani and Aditya running behind him but he was long gone.

ARD.
Main Design Studio.

Arnav watched Khushi staring at the empty board in front of her.

He signalled the remaining employees to leave and they all left leaving him with a oblivious Khushi.

He knew she was thinking about Dhami and all that has happened in the past few days and together with the project, they haven't had a good guality time together.

He moved closer and hugged her from behind making Khushi jerk but she relaxed realising it was Arnav.

"I love you. " Arnav whispered and Khushi turned and smiled and pecked his lips.

"We need to talk. " Arnav said in a serious tone and Khushi frown in confusion but it turned into anger as Arnav continued. "About Dhami. "

Khushi turned around to walk away when Arnav rushed and blocked her from leaving and not even her deadly glaring made him move.

Arnav grabbed her hand and lead her to one of the couches and they both sat down.

"I understand you anger and it justified, whether it's towards you father or Dhami but think from their perspective. "

Khushi raised her hand looking angry.

"What perspective is that?..... With babuji I understand why he did it and he did it to protect me but with that woman I will never understand why just because my mother was a middle class woman...... Middle class people are human too and we work hard for everything we own..... The story would have been different if she had let her ego go but no, she chose her ego. " Khushi exclaimed in anger.

"She chose her ego because life made her chose it, " Arnav replied calmly and Khushi looked at him confused. "Dhami was a rich girl who fell in love with the driver of her family named Surya...... Her mother died when she was just five years old and her father never married..... She fell in love and eloped just like you parent because your great great grandfather refused to accept her choice...... He only accepted their relationship a few years later when Aditya was two years old..... They lived happily and your father was born next but when your father was three years old, Surya one day showed up with a woman and papers claiming all the Singhania fortune was his and revealed it was all a plan to get rich and that he didn't love Dhami or the boys....... It was all a plan with his mistress and Dhanesh your great grandfather had a stroke and died three days later...... Surya kicked Dhami and their sons out and for eight months she fought and won back everything...... Surya and his mistress tried to flee when the police came to arrest them but they fled and was killed in a crossfire between them and the police..... Since then she had never trusted any middle class people...... My love, we live in a cruel world where the least people you expect to betray you will...... Look at me, I gave my sister everything and yet she betrayed me...... There are a lot of people even from put own status who will betray us and it makes a lot of us really classist...... Speak to her and hear her out...... I am not asking you to forgive her but give her a chance to just talk. "

Khushi was stunned by the revelation of Dhami's life.

She just like Arnav was also betrayed in the worst way possible by a loved one which led to her losing her son and daughter in law and a chance to be a grandmother.

Khushi nodded and Arnav smiled at her.

"But I can't do it on my own. " Khushi exclaimed and Arnav kissed her forehead.

"Don't worry my love...... I will always be by your side through thick and thin. "

Khushi smiled and pulled him into a deep kiss.

To be continued.

Precap:

"Get ready ASR because everything you own will soon be mine. " A man in a dark room said with a sinister smile on his face as he marked an X on a picture of Arnav.
