Part 72 Aman's Move

Even before Arnav called Aman, he came to RM as he watched the news channel. He didn't find anyone in the living room. So, he waited as going to Anjali's room would not be a good manner. He asked HP to bring a cup of coffee and switched the TV ON.

Arnav and Khushi were sleeping tight as they slept late. Anjali had a sleeping tablet. So she was sleeping forgetting her own existence. It was Nani who woke up first.

Nani saw Aman watching the news, sitting in the living room.

"Aman, when did you come here? is anything serious?"

Aman gestured for her to watch the news. Nani was shocked, seeing the news.

"When did it happen?" she asked perplexed.

"Last night, Naiji"

"Hey, Devi Maiya... was I sleeping without knowing anything?"

"It happened in midnight, Naniji"

"Oh, God... did he attack Anjali bitiya?"

"Yes, Nani. That's why I came to meet her"

"she hasn't woken up yet, it seems"

"Let her sleep, Nani. She must be given a painkiller and sleeping dose"

"You are right. let me check"

Nani went to Anjali's room to check whether she was alright. She saw her sleeping, hugging Shali. There was a Band-Aid on her neck. She silently left the place and came to the living room.

"She is sleeping," She said.

"Let's ASR wake up. He will tell us what exactly happened"

Nani nodded yes and sat with him.

After a while, they saw Khushi coming. Khushi got stuck, seeing Aman, and smiled at him. She saw the news still running. She understood what brought Aman there.

"Arnavji also woke up. he will come soon"

"What happened, Khushi bitiya?" Nani asked worriedly.

"Arnavji got a message from Aman's phone last night"

"From my phone? But I last it last evening" Aman exclaimed.

"Mmm... but, Arnavji went to the recording studio as the message stated 'you want to meet him'. I doubted the message and called Nanne. He went to the recording studio to help Arnavji in case of any problems. There, Shyam made Arnavji faint and locked him in the car, tying his hands and legs"

"Hey Devi Maiya, then?"

"Breaking the car window, Nanne rescued Arnavji. in the meanwhile, Shyam came to RM, stealing Arnavji's phone to make me believe that he kidnaped Arnavji"

"How cunning he is...!" Nani said angrily.

"Yes, Nani... Di hit him with a metal vase. That was when Alex came for our help. After that, Arnavji and Nanne also reached RM. Shyam tried to kill Arnavji, throwing a knife at him. Taking Alex's pistol, Di shot him but the bullet missed its target and hit his shoulder. So, he tried to throw the knife at Di. Taking the gun, Alex shot him. This time the shot perfectly hit his forehead" Khushi stopped.

"How is Anju, now?" Aman asked.

"She is injured. The knife scratched her neck. Arnavji brought painkillers and sleeping pills through Alex and gave her. So that, she could sleep"

"I saw the news and came to meet you guys," Aman said.

"Arnavji wanted to call you to RM. He believes you can bring Di out of the grief"

"Gladly..."

They saw Arnav coming. He didn't get surprised seeing Aman in RM. Somewhat he expected that.

"Hi, Aman"

"Hi, ASR"

"Did you watch the news?"

"Yup"

"How is Di, Khushi?" Arnav asked.

"She has not woken up yet"

"Shali?"

"She is also sleeping"

"Go and check them"

Khushi nodded ok and went to Anjali's room.

"Aman, I want Di to go out of home instead of sitting in front of the computer screen. She needs a change"

"I will take care of it" Aman was confident.

"That's why I want to meet you" Arnav smiled.

"Leave it on me"

"What are you going to do?"

"What about making her my personal secretary?"

"Are you...?"

"Yup"

"That would be great"

"Done"

Khushi came with Shali who looked fresh.

"Di woke up. I will give Shali something and come" Khushi went to the kitchen with Shali.

Within a few minutes, Anjali came downstairs.

"How are you, Di?" Arnav asked.

"Fine"

"Slept well?"

"Very well"

Anjali looked at Aman.

"What brought you here in the early morning?" she asked even though she knew he was there for her.

"I came even earlier... you woke up one and a half hours later"

"Is it?"

"Yeah, I came to RM to know whether you are alright"

"I'm..."

"Are you feeling sad about your husband?"

"Don't make fun out of me... ok?" she said laughing.

"Thank God..."

"What happened?"

"Is your neck aching?"

"Aman, stop asking silly questions... It was a knife that wounded me... it happened just last night. So, obviously, I feel the pain"

"Then, why are you roaming around? Can't you be resting in the room?" Aman chided.

"How long could I be sitting at a place? Damn... it's hell"

"Such an incorrigible piece you are..." Aman said seriously.

"What about you? Such a hopeless fellow you are" Anjali snapped back.

"I'm glad you understood that. So..."

"So?"

"You are going to take charge as my Personal secretary" He didn't ask her permission but ordered.

Anjali frowned.

"Why all of a sudden?"

"I fired my PA. Being my personal secretary, she didn't keep my secrets as secrets. So, I need a person who keeps all my secrets"

"Oie... what do you think of me? You can't find such a BBC woman like me" she laughed.

"Is it? Then take charge as my Public Relationship officer... what say?" Aman cornered her.

Anjali rolled her eyes.

"That's a good idea," Arnav said.

"Yeah, without any effort, Anju will spread the news about me..." Aman said seriously.

"Relax Aman... Don't overreact. I already have found an earning path and I'm traveling in it smoothly"

"I think you are feeling sad about your husband..."

"No way... not at all..."

"No, I can see the trace of sadness on your face. I thought you are a brave woman but nope. You are also an old sentiment woman"

Anjali sighed.

"What do you want me to do?"

"Join me..."

"Give me some time"

"Sure... take your own time. Recover soon and then join"

"Mmm..."

Arnav smiled, looking at Aman. This was why he wanted Aman to deal with Anjali.

Khushi came with Shali who had a chocolate milk glass in her hand.

"Khushi, Di is going to join as Aman's secretary," Arnav said.

"Is it?"

"Yeah... just now the unwritten contract signed" Arnav smiled.

"That's so nice, Di" Khushi said excitedly.

"All of you became a team... right?" Anjali asked.

"For good..." Aman said.

"Haan Anjali bitiya, they will do anything for your betterment only" Nani came for their support.

Anjali nodded yes.

"By the way, what happened to Rani?" Nani asked.

"Rani? What happened to her?" Anjali asked who slept earlier last night.

"Her real name is not Rani but Nikita. She was sent by Arnavji's mother to stalk us"

"Is it?"

"Yes, I caught her red-handed when she talked to Amrita Aunty last night. She ran away, seeing me..."

"then ASR should have gone to his mother's place to fight with her. Am I right?" Aman asked teasingly.

"Yes... not only that, he made the police to ride his parents' houses at the same time"

"Then?"

"After that only, Shyam's drama started," Arnav said.

"So, everything is over overnight?" Aman asked.

"Yup... from here on, no damn person could step into RM," Arnav said surely.

"Leave it Chotte... they are not important. I'm glad that you accepted Khushi as your wife" Nani said.

Arnav looked at Khushi and smiled.

"Oh... did he accept?" Aman teased.

Khushi blushed bowing down.

"Do you know, Alex also committed" Arnav said.

"Whaaaat? When did it happen?"

"She was the one who helped him from getting caught at the time of the vigilance ride"

"Oh... did he himself say that?"

"Then, how do I know?" Arnav asked.

"Yeah... I will deal with him later" Aman said.

"I'm thinking about having a reception party," Arnav said.

"that's a great idea...when?" Aman said.

"After Di's recovery"

"Don't consider me, Arnav" Anjali said.

"I will definitely do"

Anjali rolled her eyes.

"I want you to be with Khushi..."

"I will be alright in two days"

"Then we will fix the reception after ten days"

"Arnav..."

"That's final," Arnav said strictly.
