51 Target


Part 51 Target

Arnav headed to his room, taking Khushi with him.

"Chotte... stop it" Shouted Anjali.

Arnav stopped and looked at her. Before he said anything, Anjali looked at Dadi.

"Are you happy now? Chotte decided to leave RM. Is this why you came to RM after fifteen years? Dadi?" Anjali asked making Dadi shocked as she didn't expect her to lash her.

"Anjali, they didn't take Phares..."

Cutting her,

"Damn Phares... there are eight billion people in the world. Does everyone take Phares or what? Are they not living happily? Why the hell are you troubling Chotte?"

Anjali looked at Nani.

"Why are you silent Nani? Chotte was he who said he didn't take Phares. We would not have gotten to know about it if he hadn't said that. Chotte says it's not a big deal, but he respects relationships. More than the Phare-taking couple, he will respect his wife too. We don't have to bother about them"

Anjali came to Arnav who was listening to her sharply.

"Chotte, this is your house. Why should you leave this? No one has the right to question you" she said looking at Dadi.

"Di, I respect elders but I can't tolerate anyone insulting my wife. To save her respect, I'm even ready to leave the house and go where she can be peaceful without unnecessary drama. Being her husband, saving her respect is my duty"

"I didn't deny, Chotte. Doesn't mean you should leave the house. If you can't handle your people how could you handle the world?" Anjali asked wearily.

"Di, it's so easy for me to handle the world because I don't care about it. I can throw the world like trash but this is my family. Not that I can't do it... I just don't want to do it. That's what my respect is" he said looking at Dadi sharply who was looking at him sternly.

"I guarantee no one will question Khushiji"

"But, Di..."

"Don't you trust me?"

Arnav sighed and nodded yes.

"Go to your room."

Arnav walked with Khushi to his room. He gestured for NK something who nodded yes.

Dropping Khushi in the room, Arnav came out to meet NK who was waiting for him outside the room.

"Tell me Nannav"

"I want you to do me a favor"

"Anything for you and Khushiji"

"Keep an eye on Dadi. She should not know about it. Watch her every action. especially, when I'm not at home"

"Done... by the way, Nannav, why is she showing too much hatred towards Khushiji?"

"I too don't know. To know that, I need a clue. To get it only I want you to watch her closely"

"Leave it to me. I will take care of her"

Arnav nodded ok.

"Poor Khushiji, she is so sensitive. I don't know how she will take all this. Please take care of her, Nannav"

Arnav nodded yes and came to his room. Khushi wiped her cheeks seeing him and smiled. He came to her and touched her wet cheek painfully.

"I'm sorry, because of me you are facing this humiliation. I should not have married you forcefully. If I had been patient, it would not have happened"

"There is no point in talking about what happened. Let's think about what needs to happen"

"What do you want to happen, Khushi? Tell me, I'm ready to do anything. I will marry you ritually if you want"

"I agree I respect our rituals. More than that, I respect you, Arnavji. After you argued with Dadi so much, going for remarriage will not make sense. I considered you as my husband from the time you tied the mangal sutra to my neck. Marriage is marriage no matter how it happens."

"I too think the same but society expects from us something"

"We can't fulfill all the expectations of society, Arnavji. If we started giving, it would expect more from us and snatch everything. Do what's right Arnavji"

"Thanks for understanding me, Khushi"

She smiled.

"Be careful. You don't have to talk to Dadi. Avoid her completely. Ok?"

She nodded thoughtfully.

On the other side,

Dadi came to Anjali's room. She closed the door, making Anjali perplexed.

"I didn't expect you to accuse Damadji in front of everyone" she chided.

"He deserves it"

"no Anjali, you are mistaken. Damadji is not what you are thinking"

Anjali frowned.

"How do you know about my husband? You never met him before..."

"He met me in the Ashram"

"Whaaat? Did he meet you? But why?"

"To get you back, Anjali. He loves you so much. He can't live without you. he cried for you"

Anjali looked at her awestruck.

"Just say you want to be with him. I will take care of the remaining. You just stand with me. I will get him back to you"

"You can't do that Dadi. Chotte is angry with him like hell. He tried to kill Chotte"

"No... it's not true. Arnav is lying. Damadji didn't do anything to hurt Arnav. Damadji loves him... respects him. he didn't even say a single word against Arnav."

"Is it?"

"Yes, that girl Khushi is the one who created a misunderstanding between them. She is not a nice girl. You just be stubborn. I will bring him back"

Anjali nodded ok.

Dadi left her room with a sinning smile, whereas Anjali smirked.

The next day

As Arnav said, NK kept an eye on Dadi. He saw her going out, looking here and there cautiously. He followed her quietly. He saw her talking to the driver. NK hid behind the plant and waited for her to go inside. He slowly came out and went to the driver.

"What did she say?" NK asked.

"She asked me to be ready to take everyone to..." he hesitated.

"To where?"

"I'm sorry, Nandkishorji. She strictly prohibited me not to tell that to anyone" he said hesitatingly.

NK frowned.

"Won't you tell Nannav... I mean, Arnav too?"

Mohan gulped down hard. Taking his phone, NK dialed Arnav.

"Haan, NK"

"Nananv, Dadi asked the driver to be ready to take everyone somewhere else and ordered him not to tell anyone about it. He is not telling me the destination"

"Pass the phone to him"

NK extended the phone to Mohan. he took it fearfully.

"Where does she want to take everyone?"

"To Gupta House"

Arnav gritted his teeth.

"What else did she ask you?"

"She asked me if I knew Khushiji's house. I said yes. Then only she asked me to be ready"

"Give the phone to NK"

Mohan did that.

'Yes, Nannav"

"Call me when she takes everyone to GH"

"Ok, Nannav"

NK came inside and saw Dadi talking to Nani.

"I want all of you to come with me"

'Where, Subhadra?"

"It's an important place. Let's go" She didn't tell them to which place she was taking them.

"but why?"

"Don't you trust me, Devyani?"

"It's not about trust, Subhadra"

"It is... come with me if you trust me"

"Ok, I'm coming..."

"Not only you but everyone"

Nani looked at Anjali who nodded ok. Dadi looked at Khushi and said,

"Will you respect me at least now?"

Khushi nodded hurriedly.

"I hope you don't call your husband and tell him about it"

Khushi looked at NK who gestured her to be brave. Khushi looked at Dadi and nodded.

"Let's go..."

All of them followed Dadi silently... of course, without any choice...! NK also joined them. He shared his live location with Arnav before starting.

The entire journey went silently. Khushi and Payal glanced at each other when the car entered Laxmi Nagar. Nani and Anjali looked at Dadi who was enjoying Khushi's helplessness with a smirk. Khushi understood she was at the edge. Dadi was fully set to corner her by telling the truth about Phares. She had to face her parents now. They were going to lash her mercilessly. Khushi started praying for Devi Maiya to help her.

The car stopped in front of Khushi's house.

"Subhadra, why do you bring us here?"

"I would like to meet our Bahu's parents" She got out of the car and walked in. All of them followed her panicking.

She knocked on the door. the door was opened by Buaji. Dadi entered in followed by Raizadas and was shocked to see Arnav sitting there.
