Part 41 The Song Video

Arnav saw Alex's message on his mobile. Arnav read it.

*Have you told Khushi about Shyam's arrest? *

Arnav rolled his eyes. He was hesitating to tell Khushi about Shyam's arrest. He had no idea what would she do and how would she react. It won't be easy to stop her after she got to know that her sister was alone and regreted whatever happened. He felt bad as he could not stop her. she had to go to her house. No choice. However, she would be coming to RM just like before... he believed.

Arnav came to Khushi's room and knocked on the door. Khushi came out of the washroom, changing her night dress. She heard a knock. She knew who was knocking on the door. HP will not knock at this time and Nani would have called her if she wanted anything. She opened the door. Her guess was right. She smiled at Arnav.

"I would like to talk to you about something very important," He said.

"Will you come inside or, will you tell that from the doorstep itself?" She questioned.

Arnav looked at her sharply. Khushi gave him space to enter. Arnav walked in. Khushi waited for him to start.

"Actually, your Jeeja has been arrested"

Khushi widened her eyes in shock.

"Arrested? But why?"

"Your sister filed a missing complaint with the police. They enquired about you and found out that your Jeeja tortured you"

"But how? I'm sure he would not have accepted his mistake"

"He didn't... the police took the incoming and outgoing call list of your phone and got to know you called your sister's number. But, your sister told them she didn't receive your call. As the call length was more than ten minutes, they retrieved the call and everything was revealed."

Khushi frowned.

"But, my last incoming and outgoing calls are from and to your phone number... then how did they miss it? They should have come to RM for the inquiry..."

"They did"

"When?"

"Didn't Alex come here?"

"Alex????"

Arnav nodded yes.

"He is the one who is handling the case..."

"But..."

"I told Alex about your jeeja and asked him to keep an eye on your jeeja"

"What about my Di?"

"She is upset about whatever happened to you. She is insisting Alex find you as she is regretting with guilt"

"I want to go to my sister," Khushi said without thinking.

"Or... you can call her here" That amazed Khushi.

"No, Arnavji... however, I want to leave RM and you know the reason. Let me go. Tomorrow morning, I will take your leave after detailing the issue to Nani"

Arnav nodded ok half-heartedly.

"You can be relieved from my torture" She added with a smile but choked.

Arnav gulped down and walked out. He came to his room and closed the door. He sat on the bed, closing his face with his palm. he didn't feel anything right. He felt like something was aching inside. His heart was heavy. He knew why. Khushi was going to go away from him. She might not come back to him. He was smothered in the thought of her separation.

That was when his phone rang. Arnav rolled his eyes with irritation as he was not in the mood to attend any call. But he could not ignore it after seeing Aman's number. He attended it without interest.

"Haan Aman..."

"ASR, the video got leaked on social media"

"Which video?" Arnav sat straight.

"Akash and Payal's wedding Anniversary video in which Khushi sang"

"But how? Who posted it?"

"Don't know ASR... someone has uploaded it who attended the party. it's getting viral"

Arnav sighed.

"What should we do now?" Aman asked.

"Arrange for an audio release"

"Ok..."

"As soon as possible"

"Sure"

"Try to pull down the video"

"I have already reported it but I don't know how much Facebook will respond to it," Aman said with disappointment.

"Oh... is that video on FB?"

"Yes..."

"Then we have no choice other than releasing the audio"

"Mmm"

Aman was about to disconnect the call,

"Aman..."

"Yeah..."

"How is the public response?"

"Unimaginably striking"

"Is it?"

"Yeah... within a few hours, it reached 3K likes"

"Oh..."

"Now, Khushi became a celebrity" Aman chuckled.

Arnav also smiled.

"Ok... do the needed arrangements for the audio launch"

"Yup... bye" Aman disconnected the call.

Arnav rested on the bed.

On the other hand, Alex was informed about Shyam's escape. Alex was horrified as he didn't expect it. he came to the station, leaving everything behind.

The SI and PC who took Shyam to the hospital, stood bowing down.

"How did this happen?"

"Sir, he was suffering from chest pain when I went to the cell to give him dinner. He said, his chest aching. At the same time, SI sir came to the station." The PC said.

"Yes, Sir... seeing his sufferings, I thought to take him to the hospital. Without wasting time, we took him to the hospital"

"The driver would not have been at the station at that time. Then who drove the jeep?" Alex asked.

"Me," the SI said.

"Which hospital did you take him to?"

"RK hospital, Sir"

"But why? Don't you know, a government clinic is there on the next road?"

"We don't know whether the doctors are available at these hours, sir. But, the private hospital is not like that. The duty doctor will always be there"

"In government hospitals also duty doctors are always available"

"Sir, at that time, we could not think much. I just did what came to my mind" The SI managed.

Alex left the station immediately and said nothing. Of course, he came to Shali Vilas. As it was late at night, he didn't disturb Anjali. He waited for a little aloof and watched the house. It seems there was no problem. He thought Shyam would come there but it seemed he had another plan. Yet, he didn't leave the place. He stayed cautiousness. But, Shyam didn't come.

RM

On the other side, Arnav was tossing on the bed. He could not bear the truth that Khushi won't be in RM from the next day. He sat on the bed and threw the pillow away in anger. He had no doubt he liked her. the only thing that stopped him was the LOVE that Khushi had in her heart for him. What if she felt differently after she married him? (For the first time, Arnav Singh Raizada thought about MARRIAGE) She might think, she had done a great mistake by marrying him. He had no idea how he would take the relationship ahead as he hated commitment. And he was sure that nothing could keep Khushi with him other than marriage. Marriage was the only way to be with her.

The situation was also not in his favor. She would like to go to her sister. She could not be stopped for any silly reasons. He knew that but his heart wanted to bring her back to him. Something clicked in his mind. MUSIC... the super medium that brought them close. She was a singer and he could be close to her under the pretext of giving her a chance. His mind became a little peaceful even though he was not fully satisfied. He drifted into sleep after a while without his knowledge.

The next day

Anjali opened the door and picked up the milk pocket that had been kept by the milkman in the basket. Taking it, she was about to go inside, but she stopped, seeing Alex sitting on his bike a little aloof. She smiled. Alex came to her.

"I'm waiting for you only Ma'am"

"For me? Why Sir?"

"I'm sorry to say this, Ma'am... your husband escaped from jail"

There was a shock on Anjali's face.

"How did you let it happen?"

"I was not at duty last night. He pretended like he got a heart attack. The SI took him to the hospital with a PC. He escaped on the way to the hospital"

Anjali sighed with irritation.

"Please be careful ma'am. I will send the security today itself"

Anjali nodded ok.

"Don't go anywhere unnecessarily"

"Ok, sir"

"I will arrange for a security who will get everything to you"

"Thank you so much, sir"

Alex nodded ok.

"Did you get anything about Khushi?"

Alex nodded no slowly.

"By God's grace, she should be safe." She said.

Something clicked in Alex's mind. He had to alert Arnav not to send Khushi to her sister.

"I'm leaving..." Alex said.

"Thank you for your concern, Sir"

"It's my duty"

He left the place and started the bike towards RM.

.............

Shyam came to a small restaurant as he was hell hungry. He ordered Aaloo and Poori and waited. He started having it hurriedly as if he had seen the food after ages. Suddenly, he stopped eating. Something hit his ears. He turned behind, hearing a familiar voice. A woman who was sitting with her family at his behind table was listening to the song that Khushi sang at Akash and Payal's wedding anniversary party. Shyam's eyes widened with excitement.

"How sweet her voice is...!" the woman said.

"Yeah... after all, she is ASR's introduction," her husband said.

"Yeah... don't know how he finds such sweet voices" The woman literally appreciated Arnav.

"He is so dedicated... that's why"

"Yeah..."

"What's the girl's name?"

"Khushi Gupta"

Shyam raised his brows and turned towards his plate. He ate with a smirk.
