Part 13 Back Check

Manorama was stuck knowing Arnav was on Akash's side.

"Arnav bituwa, is that you who talk like this?"

"Yes Mami, because it's his life. He should live as he wants... If he is fine, I will get them married without anyone's acceptance"

That shocked Manorama more.

"Mami, how could Akash be happy marrying someone when he loves Payalji?" Anjali asked.

"Di, there is no chance for me to marry anyone. I will marry Payalji and that's final" Akash said firmly.

"Arnav bituwa is right. I'm also on Akash's side in this, no matter who is fine with this marriage" Manohar said, looking at Manorama.

"Being his father, you should lash him when he makes a mistake" Manorama said.

"I will lash him IF (stressing) he makes a mistake. I don't think this is a mistake. In fact, this time, he acts like a family-oriented guy... unlike you"

"Thank you, Papa " Akash hugged Manohar.

"I will come to Payal Bitiya's house and I will get her married to you," Manohar said making Manorama shocked.

"See, she had not even stepped into our house but started separating everyone from me" Manorama cried.

"Payalji doesn't separate you from us. It's you who is getting separated from us by conflicting with us" said Akash.

"Akash is right, Mami. If you accept Payal, you don't have to get separated from us" Arnav said.

"We don't have to wait for her acceptance, Arnav bituwa. She likes only useless things. She runs behind on money. Leave her. We will get them married" Manohar said firmly.

"I will leave this house if this marriage happens"

"I will leave you forever if this marriage doesn't happen" Akash warned, making Manorama stunned.

"What are you going to do having no one by your side? Your son is ready to leave you. Your family doesn't like your decision. Will you be happy after making all of us disappointed?" Manohar asked.

"Is that Koon Bari Taang more important than me to you?" Manorama asked Akash.

"I didn't think like that before. You are the one making me think like that because you are restricting me from marrying Payalji and she is not accepting me because you don't like her. She didn't want to be a problem creator in our family. That's what made me understand her generosity"

"Manorama, it will not be wise to be stubborn after he realizes who is better," Manohar said and looked at Akash.

"We are going to GH tomorrow no matter if your mother is coming or not"

Manorama cried sitting on the couch.

"No one cares for me... no one wants my happiness..."

"First you start caring for others and think about their happiness. Then they will think about you. And... stop your drama. We are not going to give heed to it anymore"

Manorama wiped her cheek.

"Ok... I will agree to this wedding but..."

Cutting her,

"No ifs and buts... you agreed to the wedding that's all" Manohar said.

"Thank you, Ma" Akash hugged Manoram and ran to his room.

Arnav also headed to his room smiling. He came to his room and called Khushi. She received his call.

"Mami agreed to Akash and Payal's wedding"

"Whaaaaat?" she shouted with disbelief.

"We are coming to GH tomorrow"

"Whaaaaaat?"

"To ask Payal's hand for Akash..."

"Is it?"

"Yes... we will be there tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock sharp"

"I can't believe this"

"You will believe it when we come to your home"

"It seems you are a nice Lord Governor" she chuckled.

Arnav was stuck hearing the word LORD GOVERNOR.

YOU ARE DESTINED TO BE CALLED LORD GOVERNOR BY YOUR WIFE echoed in his mind in the same divine voice he heard in the flashes.

Arnav gulped down hard. So, Khushi was undoubtedly his wife because Lord Governor was not so casual name anyone could name.

Khushi frowned, not getting a reply from him.

"Hello... are you there?"

Arnav got his sense back.

"Tell your sister, we did what we said"

"no... I won't"

"but why?"

"I'm going to keep it a secret to everyone"

"Don't give them a heart attack" Arnav smiled.

"I have to... it will be fun" She giggled.

Arnav nodded his head from left to right.

"OK, wait for us. Bye"

"Bye..."

They disconnected the call.

Khushi was on cloud nine. She became excited for two reasons. Manorama agreed to the wedding and Lord Governor became opposite his nature. What would be the reason? She tried to get it but nothing reached her mind.

Evening

Guptas saw her smiling all the time and happier than usual. She saw Payal sitting all sad. She came to her and sat circling her shoulders.

"Jeeji, will you think about me after going to RM?" she asked.

Payal glared at her.

"Answer me instead of glaring at me"

"Stop talking like this, Khushi. I don't like you talking about something that's not going to happen"

"I will see how long will you talk like this"

Payal again glared at her.

"Hmmm... who knows, you don't even have time to think about this poor sister after being bewitched by your Akashji"

"Khushiii" Payal raised her hand to hit.

Khushi rushed out giggling. When she came out, she stopped not wanting to bang on Shyam who entered GH. She remembered what Arnav said about his Jeejaji and asked,

"Shyamji, will you be free tomorrow morning?"

"Why, Khushiji? Of course, I will be free if you want..."

"You are so sweet, Shyamji... tomorrow is an important day of my life. I want you to be with us"

Shyam was stuck. Khushi wanted him to be with her on the important day of her life...! What a pleasant surprise...!

"What day is tomorrow, Khushiji?"

"It's suspense. You should have been patient if you want to know that"

"I will wait for the whole life if you want it," he said.

"Excuse me...?"

"I mean... it must be important if you talk about it... right?"

"Yes... it's a most important matter in my life"

"I will always be there for you, Khushiji"

"Thank you, Shyamji... you are a nice person... unlike that Lord Governor," She said gritting her teeth.

"About whom are you talking, Khushiji?"

"Who else...? That Rakshas, Arnav Singh Raizada..." she said observing his facial expression.

Shyam was not a man with normal gestures. He felt good hearing bad about Arnav instead of showing shock on his face.

"Why are you unnecessarily thinking about him, Khushiji? Just leave him"

"I too want to get rid of his thoughts Shyamji, but I can't. By the way, how do you know about him?"

Shyam got stuck for a few seconds and he came to the composure quickly.

"His lawyer Mr. Roy spoke about him in the chamber"

"Oh... don't YOU (stressing) know him personally?"

"How do I know him, Khushiji? He is a big-shot in Delhi... I'm a simple lawyer. He won't even look at me"

Khushi became thoughtful. Shyam was right. He looked so simple, completely opposite to Arnav. There was no grandness in Shyam's face that Arnav always carried. They have no match in them.

"Is there any lawyer named Shyam in the bar council?" Khushi asked making Shyam stun. As usual, he managed himself and answered.

"Of course, Khushuji... there are three Shyams in the bar council"

"Is it?"

"Yes... why do you ask that, Khushiji?"

Khushi was alerted.

"Are they also nice persons like you?" She asked innocently which brought a smile to Shyam's face.

"Why Khushiji?"

"I heard Lawyers are criminals... but you are ODD one out. I think there is no one like you... that's why I asked"

Shyam laughed proudly.

"I will take you to the other Shyams. You will get to know whether they are good or not"

Khushi smiled. She could not find a flaw in his talks. She believed he could not be Anjali's husband.

RM

Arnav was thinking about the unique name LORD GOVERNOR. Only Khushi could think of such a name. He smiled. He could not believe she was his wife. He remembered his talks with Goddess.

*I tortured her... it's because I could not tolerate it when I got to know she was not mine but someone's because I love her*

Why did he think she was not HIS that made him torture her? If she was not his, why did he beg from God? He was confused like hell.

That was when he got a call from Khushi. He sat straight and attended the call.

"Is everything all right, Khushi?"

"Everything is alright"

"Did you tell your sister about the wedding?"

"I told you it will remain suspense until you come here"

"Ok, why did you call me?"

"I found something and called you to tell you about it"

"What did you find?"

"Your Jeejaji and our Shyamji are not the same"

"How do you know?" he raised his brows.

"I enquired him about it not showing that I'm suspecting him"

"Did you suspect him?"

"Haan... because you suspected your Jeejaji"

"Oh..." he smiled.

"I asked him to be with us tomorrow morning. He will be here when you come here. Then all the doubt will be cleared"

Arnav became thoughtful.

"Did you tell him about our visit?"

"No... I didn't tell anyone about it"

"Oh... let's see"

"Yup... we will see tomorrow. Good night"

"Good night"

They disconnected the call. Arnav believed Shyam would not be in GH the next day morning, whereas Khushi expected him to be at GH.
