Part 56 Khushi and NK again

In the meanwhile

Shyam entered the room hesitatingly to face Anjali. She looked at him with a dangerous gaze.

"Rani Sahiba..."

She stopped him showing her palm.

"You don't have to say anything. I'm not going to listen to you"

"Don't you trust me, Rani Sahiba?"

"How could I trust you? All the witness was against you yet I brought you back. This is the first time I decided something over Chotte but don't seem to mind it"

"No, Rani Sahiba, I will be grateful for your trust. I don't want Sale Sahib to be cheated. That's why I told Dadiji about Garima Aunty" he as usual tried to fool her.

"What were you doing in Laxmi Nagar when Dadi went there?"

"I went to meet my client. He is a poor man who struggles to fill his stomach. I'm helping him to get his pension"

"Oh... who is he? What's his name? Give me his phone number"

Shyam was stuck. Of course, he didn't expect her to be sharp.

"Rani Sahiba..."

Cutting him,

"Don't ask if I trust you... it doesn't matter if I trust you. No one trusts you in this family. they look at you like a criminal. Do you know how it feels? I feel insulted... ashamed..." she panted hard.

"If you don't trust me, I will take you to Laxmi Nagar and get you introduced to the man"

"No need... give his phone number... it's enough"

Shyam sighed and took his phone out. He read the number. Anjali saved it on her mobile and dialed him immediately. Shyam smirked. He went to Laxmi Nagar following Dadi only. Though he didn't go to Laxmi Nagar to meet anyone, he was truly dealing with someone in Laxmi Nagar.

The call was attended.

"Hello,"

"Who is speaking?"

"I'm Mrs. Shyam Jha. Did my husband come to Laxmi Nagar?"

"No, madam. He didn't come here today. Actually, I'm thinking about meeting him. Did he say he would come here?"

"Yes, his phone is out of coverage area. That's why I called you"

"Oh, I will tell him if he comes here, Madam"

"Ok, thank you" Anjali disconnected the call.

"Do you trust me now?" Shyam asked making a miserable face.

Anjali left the room and said nothing. Shyam folded his hands and raised his brows.

.........

Khushi stayed in the hug, closing her eyes. Arnav kissed Khushi's hair, tightening the hug. Khushi opened her eyes and became sensible. She tried to break the hug but Arnav tightened it more. Khushi became embarrassed and asked,

"Arnavji, shall I bring you something?"

"Why? Don't you want to be in my arms?"

"No..."

"No?"

"No no... I didn't mean it..."

"Then stay..." He buried his face on her shoulder.

Khushi smiled.

"Khushi..."

"mmm?"

"Do you remember?"

"What?"

"We have not completed our wedding yet"

Khushi widened her eyes.

"What say?"

"We have to think about something important"

"Do you think completing our wedding is not important?"

"I mean Shyamji..."

Arnav broke the hug and frowned.

"Don't you want him to be here?"

"Why would I want him to be here?"

"We will do something about it... ok?"

Khushi nodded.

"Now, I badly need a coffee"

Khushi again nodded and left the room.

NK saw Khushi going to the kitchen murmuring within. He chuckled and jumped in front of her. Khushi jerked and moved a step back.

"What are you blabbering, Khushiji?" he asked smiling.

"What else Nanneji? I don't like anything"

"What don't you like?"

She looked at her surroundings and said,

"Shyamji's presence in RM. I don't know how Arnavji is tolerating him"

"Who said he is tolerating him?"

"Yes, he does that for Di..."

"Until he is proven guilty, we can do nothing, Khushiji"

"But we did that already. Yet, Di and Arnavji brought him back"

"Do you want him to be out?"

Khushi nodded yes.

"Shall we play?"

"What?"

NK said something and Khushi's face became horrible.

"No Nanneji... Arnavji will not forgive me for doing that"

"Khushiji, we made a few mistakes last time by missing all the evidence. But this time, we will rectify our mistakes. What say?"

Khushi nodded no fearfully.

"No Nanneji... I can't. If anything goes wrong, Dadiji will not be quite"

"Why do you fear when Nannav is there? He will handle her"

"But he will get upset with us for doing that. He hates the man tenfold than me"

"We can tell him our plan but he won't agree to it, Khushiji..."

"He will become furious too" She bit her nails nervously.

"But, we should do it, Khushiji, because I don't like that man. We should throw him out... this time, no one should think of bringing him back"

Khushi gulped down.

"We can do it, Khushiji. Don't you want Di and Dadi to know how cunning he was? If we proved him wrong, then Dadi will also understand how wrongly she took his side"

Khushi became thoughtful.

"Just think, Khushiji..."

She took a deep breath and nodded yes.

"There you are Khushiji...let's do it"

"But..."

"No ifs and Buts... let's do it"

"Ok..."

"Wait. I will bring it"

NK ran to his room. Khushi went to their room to give him coffee.

After a while, she came out searching for NK. He saw Khushi and gave something to Khushi. She took it from him. We waited.

They saw Shyam coming. NK gestured to her and said,

"Please tell me why you are crying, Khushiji"

Khushi nodded her head from left to right, making a sad face.

"More than a brother-in-law, I'm your friend. We had done many unimaginable things together, Khushiji. Please tell me what happened if you consider me as your friend"

Khushi was silent.

"Did Nannav say something?"

NK noticed Shyam hiding behind the wall and listening to them.

"Tell me Khushiji... Is Nannav upset with you?"

"Why won't he be upset with me? I'm the daughter of a woman who is the reason for his mother's death"

"But, he defended you in front of everyone..."

"It's because he is grateful to me. I saved his life. So, he saved me..."

"This is so unfair Khushiji... Nannav should not do this. I agree anyone would be upset in this condition but Nananv should not be... because he is Arnav Singh Raizada"

Shyam could not see Khushi's face who was facing her back to him.

"Don't cry Khushiji... I can understand your state of mind. I know how it hurts but NK will be there for you. you can ask me anything."

"I don't want to talk about it, Nanneji"

"Ok, Khushiji... but please be relaxed. We will find a solution to it"

"How could we find a solution? Don't you know how difficult this issue is?"

NK nodded yes.

"Even I feel guilty, Nanneji because it's about his mother who he loves like anything. Could we think he is wrong?"

"But he loves you too..."

"Not more than his mother... it can never happen too..."

"Don't feel sad, Khushiji..."

"Leave it, Nanneji... it's all my fate"

NK made a sad face and left the place.

Shyam looked here and there and made sure that there was no one. He came to Khushi.

"Khushiji..."

Khushi pretended to wipe her face with her shawl and looked at him. She turned opposite to him.

"I'm sorry Khushiji..."

Khushi looked at him frowning.

"I'm really sorry but you should understand with whom you are living and what his priorities were. Without caring about anything, you saved him putting your life in danger but what he gave you? What you gained from him? He pretends in front of everyone that you are important to him but it's not true. He doesn't want people to think low about him. That's why he pretended like accept you. I really want you to be happy, Khushiji. That's why I tried to bring his real state of mind out. See, what he did...! He is not what you are thinking. He is selfish. If it comes to his sister, he won't mind throwing you out of his life. You will see that soon because he will not accept you as his wife. Don't spoil your life for the one who doesn't value you, Khushiji. He doesn't deserve you..."

"Please leave, Shyamji... If Dadiji sees you talking to me, she will get upset with you"

"Who cares about her, Khushiji? I don't care about anyone when it comes to you. You are my priority. You didn't understand that. Don't you know I was even ready to divorce Rani Sahiba? Believe it or not, I did that wholeheartedly because my love for you is true. You didn't understand that..."

"Dadiji will come..."

"Let her come... I can prove your innocence"

"How?"

"Anything is possible for me, Khushiji. I know how to do things. I brought her to RM who never think of stepping into RM for the last fifteen years. If it is possible for me, can't I do that?"

"She hates me"

"I can make her love you too"

Khushi looked at him thoughtfully.

"Will you trust me if I do that?"

Khushi nodded yes and left the place. Shyam smirked
