In Shantivan,

Mami searching for Payal "Hello hi bye bye. It is breakfast time wa and this Blood foot was became invisible" 

"Don't worry Mami ji,I had prepared breakfast already. Come and eat" Khushi said, placing the dishes on the table.

By then everyone including Guptas arrived at the dining hall.

When Guptas are going to sit for the breakfast,

Arnav words stopped them,

"Mr. Gupta, where is your lovely daughter?" 

Shashi and Garima looked at each other gulping.

"Woh,we don't know babua. Where did she go? 

Since yesterday night we haven't seen her" Buaji answered.

"Are you telling the truth? Or are you people trying to plan something?" Arnav looked at them sternly 

Buaji shivered "Arey nahi nahi babua. We are not planning anything"

"Hmm. As you got your answers,can we eat now babua?" Shashi asked meekly looking at the dishes hungrily 

Arnav looked at him and raised his eyebrows,

"Yes you can. But you are not gonna sit here" 

"Then where?" Garima asked irritatingly.

Arnav called Hari prakash 

"Ji Arnav Bhaiyya?" 

"Hari, did you arrange for their dinner?" He asked pointing at Guptas 

HP nodded his head,"Yes Bhaiyya I arranged everything as per your order" 

"Very good" Then looking at Guptas he said,"So,as you guys were following the rules I have kept till now. A little feast for you guys" 

Guptas grinned visibly.

"But, Arnav babua, how can we …without our Payaliya?" Shashi asked worried 

"Ohh you no need to worry about her. She will get her share of treats when she returns back"  Arnav said chewing his toast.

"Jai ho Nanda Kishore ki" HP lead them to a room

Mami and Akash looked at Arnav like he had grown horns on his head.

"Arey Arnav bitwa,what have you done? You arranged a specialzz treat for our enemies!. Hello hi bye bye,Are you alright?" Mami exclaimed 

"Don't look at me like that,in a few mins you will get to know what kind of feast that was?" 

Arnav smirked looking at them.

Mami looked at him excited all suddenly and clapped her hands in a glee.

Nani sighed looking at her daughter in law who still now behaves like a child.

HP lead Guptas near the store room,"Here we are" 

Garima and Buaji frowned looking at HP.

"Hai reh Nanda Kishore! Why did you bring us here bitwa?" 

Shashi scrutinized his eyes looking at the dusty old room,"Ha beta, it seems like a store room" 

Hp opened the room, and Guptas were shocked looking at the room. It was decorated with fairy lights and flowers. 

And a big table was arranged in the middle of the room. 

Many types of dishes were placed on that table seeing those varieties Buaji's stomach growling with hunger. 

Without waiting a second she pounced on the table like a Lion,but what happened next made all the Guptas stunned.

As soon as she jumped to attack the food,the food on the table disappeared. 

"Hai reh Nandakishore!" Buaji cried as her teeth were broken.

"Jiji…" Shashi and Garima rushed to her and helped her to stand up.

And that's it the fairy lights went off and the door also got locked.

"What the hell is happening?" Shashi shouted 

He rushed to the door and banged on it loudly calling HP and Arnav 

"Arnav Babua …Arnav babua…." 

In the hall,

Arnav is sitting with Khushi and all while checking his mails. He heard the shouts of Guptas but did not react.

Khushi and others looked at him,but he acted all cool.

"Hari prakash,did you close all the windows?"

Arnav looked at him

"Yes Bhaiyya. I closed them" 

Arnav nodded his head 

"Good, now go and spread the smoke in that room. And let me know whether they lost their senses or not" Arnav implemented his next plan 

Anjali looked at her brother who is smiling now" What are you trying to do,Chote?" 

"You will get to know soon,Di" Arnav smirked at her 

Khushi looked at her husband and understood he is upto no good thing for now. A hell is waiting for Guptas.

Just then Payal graced all of them with her presence.

"Wow,you are back, Payal! That too so early" Akash asked sarcastically 

"Where were you and what are you doing till now? Is this how a daughter in law should behave?" Nani asked angrily

Payal was shocked by Nani's outburst.

"I…I just went to my friend's house Dadi ji" She stuttered 

Khushi looked at her confused and asked,"But Jiji yesterday night I saw you in a Purple Orchid"

Payal shot an angry glare at Khushi for revealing her whereabouts.

Which didn't go unnoticed by Arnav and his siblings.

"Yes,Payal I also saw there was someone beside you" Arnav added 

Mami's ears perked with his words"Hello hi bye bye! Who was that someone? Akash bitwa ask your wifezz who was that beside her?" 

Payal widened her eyes and she felt Akash's strong gaze on her 

"Answer Payal! Who was that? Is it a man or woman?" Akash asked sternly and loudly

"H..he…no. It was her. My best friend" Payal said 

"Her?But we saw a man. Right Khushi?" Arnav piped and Khushi nodded her head.

Payal cursed them under her breath 

"Hello hi bye bye.See I already warned you wa Akash bitwa don't trust this Blood foot wa. Now see what is happening wa. Look Sasuma, this girl whom you thought of as a sanskari bahu is spoiling my only son's life. Hello hi bye bye" Mami cried hugging her son 

Nani and Anjali looked at Payal ready to pounce on her.

'Oh God! Where did I land myself?' Payal gulped with fear of getting caught.

Akash looked at her with no emotion.

He stood up and went away from Shantivan.

Arnav felt sad for his little brother. But he couldn't do anything. He decided that Akash should learn that he is also an ASR like him.

Payal looked around trying to get a glimpse of her parents. 

She asked HP when she didn't get anything,"HP, where is  my Family?" 

"They are where they should be!" Arnav answered looking at her sternly 

"And if I ask,where is that place?" She asked with attitude 

"Why should he answer you? Just know that they are where they should be" Mami answered twitching her mouth 

"Badi aayi Blood foot. Enjoying my son's money and cheating him. My poor bitwa….(sniff)...don't know he where went wa" Mami wailed 

"Don't worry Mamiji.He will be alright" Anjali consoled her. 

Payal left for her room, rolling her eyes.

A week later,Akash stumbled in the hall while holding a beer bottle,shocking everyone present there.

His shirt was wet and his hair was disheveled, his beard also grown. 

"Akash?" Nani,Mami,Arnav and Khushi cried looking at his disheveled  

"My life isss..gonee.my life ….iss..gonee" Akash sang stumbled upon his steps.

"Careful Akash" Arnav held him.

"Chote take him to his room" Nani suggested.

Mami stopped them and added,"No no Sasuma. Let me take care of my Son wa. Arnav bitwa,Nk bitwa please take him to my room wa. I will look after him wa. I don't trust that blood foot wa" 

"NOO….Blood foot,my wife…my Payal. I hate her. I will kill her" Akash growled 

"Akash bitwa what happened to you? Why are you behaving like this? I am getting scared wa,Sasuma" Mami said, looking at her drunken Son.

Nk came forward to help Arnav who was struggling to hold Akash.

Meanwhile Payal who was sleeping peacefully like a queen came out hearing the commotion.

She was shocked looking at her husband who was held by his brothers.

"Aa Gayi Maharani. You Blood foot because of you only my Son became like this" Mami shouted on Payal.

Payal fumed for blaming her.

"Don't dare to blame me. How can it be my mistake? If your son comes home drinking. In Fact I should be the one who should be crying because of your son" 

She continued looking at them,"Because of your so-called Son my friends will make fun of me and mock me. I can't even look into their eyes" 

Anjali looked at her angrily and asked,"What mistake did my brother make?"

"What did he do? Don't you all know what he had done? He closed my bank account and blocked all my cards. I can't even buy the things I desire. That is such a shame for me. My friends laughed at me" Payal taunted 

Arnav and all threw a disgusting glare.

Akash looked at Payal and smirked devilishly,he sprinted towards her

"Payal,My beautiful anklet,I thought! But you are no more looking like an innocent one" 

Arnav and Nk looked at each other.

"You know,today I got something. When I was in the office" Akash grinned

"Tbh you didn't look so good. And I am glad the person beside you was not me" He talked normally 

"Akash,aren't you drunk?" Anjali asked doubtfully getting the change in his voice 

Now he stood straight and looked at Payal sternly.

Arnav and Nk grinned looking at each other. They got the plan,their brother is playing.

Khushi and Nani also looked at him,

"Are you playing wa Akash bitwa till now?" Mami exclaimed 

"Haan mata ji. It was an act played by me to see the reaction of my lovely wife" He smirked at Payal who was fuming now.

Khushi who was standing silently till now asked, remembering something,"Jiju you said,you got something today while you were in office. What is it?" 

Akash looked at Khushi and said,"Haan actually it was a gift from someone to my lovely life. But innocent souls like you shouldn't see it. Let me give it to your husband" He gave an envelope to Arnav who took it immediately. He already knew what was in that.

Payal frowned,'Gift? For me? Who sent it? But if it is for me,why have they delivered it to Akash and not me?' 

Arnav gasped looking at the content in the envelope. Nk who peeked through also gasped and stood shocked.

"What is there in that,Chote?" Nani and Anjali asked at a time 

"Show me too,bitwa" Mami tried to peek 

'They will surely blast. If they see these pictures' Arnav gulped 

"Here Masi ji take them" Nk passed the photos to Mami. 

He closed his eyes and prayed to God.

"Let me also see what is there in those pictures" Khushi tried to peek through,but Arnav held her through her waist.

"No jaan, you shouldn't see them. Come on let us go. Your Bhai must be waiting for us,let us go" He took her in his arms and looked at Nk and others. He signed something to Nk and left from there.

Nk understood his Nannav Bhai and nodded his head.

"Hey Devi maiyya!" 

"Hello hi bye bye!" 

"What the hell!" 

Nani,Anjali and Mami exclaimed.

Nk gulped looking at them and waited for the tornado to hit Shantivan.

"Chi. How disgusting are you?" Nani spatted on Payal's face.

Payal gulped,she understood that something is not good.

'Not something everything is not good' Devi maiya piped 

"See I was right. This Blood foot came to destroy my Son only wa" Mami threw photos on Payal's face. 

She was shocked looking at the photos,they are the photos she planned to morph and ruin the life of Arshi.

"NO no this is not me. This must be edited. Haan these are edited. Someone must have done that to create misunderstanding between us. Akash please trust me" She plead Akash 

"No. I won't trust you. And I am sure this is you only" Akash shrugged her hands 

"Hmmm…I saw you going out on the same day,when Nannav and Khushi went on a date. That day I saw you in the same saree in this pic" Nk added 

Anjali also said,"And Nk Bhai do you remember Khushi ji and Chote also said that they have seen her in the same hotel with someone" 

"Shut up….just shut up ….all of you. How dare you people accuse me?" As soon as she finished it she was slapped by her husband.

"Don't dare to raise your voice" Akash warned her 

"Please trust me Akash. I am not the one in these photos. Someone has edited them." She cried 

"Oh really?"  Came a voice behind them.

All looked at Arnav,who came back after dropping his wife in Jindal's Mansion.

Payal looked at him,"Yes. And I am sure this is your work. You must be the one who edited these" 

"And why would i do it?" Arnav raised his eyebrows.

"Because…because….." She couldn't able to reply.

'Did he came to know my intention?' She thought 

Like hearing her thoughts he replied

"Exactly. I got to know your intentions" 

"I got what you are trying to plan and thought why not help you in digging your own grave" Arnav smiled smugly.

Payal gulped looking at him.

"What are you saying, Chote?" Nani asked 

Arnav looked at his Nani and said,"This woman whom we all thought of as a sanskari bahu is not that the one we see. She had many shades in her. Like a chameleon" 

"You thought to separate me from my Khushi na? Now look what you have gotten into"
Arnav sneered 

"I should have listened to my Mother" Akash whispered,"I shouldn't have been adamant in marrying you. My mom is right about you. But I behaved like a fool and went behind you,acted like love sick fellow and destroyed my life with my own hands" Raizadas felt bad looking at Akash blaming himself 

"Don't blame yourself bitwa. Not only you, we are also part of it. We weren't able to know her true colors" Nani consoled her grandson.

Akash went away to his room.

Arnav looked at Payal who was looking everywhere.

Just then power went out and Payal felt someone behind her,she tried to turn but before that someone closed her mouth with a kerchief and she fainted. They dragged her away silently just the way they came.

"Hello hi bye bye Hari prakash look what happened to power wa" Mami shouted.

Arnav's phone blinked with a message,

"WORK DONE" seeing that a devilish smirk formed on his face. 

Power is back and all noticed the disappearance of Payal

"Hello hi bye bye. Blood feet  become invisible? Is she any ghost?" She feared 

Nani and Anjali looked at Arnav,who was angry and fisted his hands.

"She is where she has to be" He uttered confusing Mami and others.
