Recap: Akhil successfully inaugurate his new resort in New york. Mayuri visit Naren and Liya at his home.

******************

Naren and Liya watched Mayuri as she sat silently after revealing the message from Jhanvi. Naren did not reveal any expressions on his face though a hundred thoughts revolved in his mind behind her request to meet him.

Mayu: Say something Naren...what is this sitting without words ?

Nar: When and where ?

May: Come along with me. We will meet her nearby on way to your office. We can't meet in public because that will catch unneccessary attention which is not good either of us.

Liya was tensed and started fidgeting her fingers. Naren gave a smile to her and left with Mayuri to meet Jhanvi.

On way Mayuri stopped the car on a drive way where a audi was parked already and Mayuri called Jhanvi who got down from her car and got in the back seat of Naren and Mayuri's car.

May: Naren, she is Jhanvi, Akhil's wife. I will wait out until you two finish conversing.

Nar: Who doesn't knows the great designer J and business analyst Mrs. Jhanvi Akhil Chakravarthy. By the way nice meeting Mrs. Akhil.

Jha: I would like to say the same if we would have met in a better situation but unfortunately we are not in one like that.

Nar: Then what got you here to meet me so confidentially ? Can you enlight me please ?

Jha: Me and my husband had a great day yesterday and thought of wishing the person who was behind that so thought of presenting something as token of gratitude for our good yesterday and someone's good today.

Jhanvi stressed the good to him and called Ram who was in her car. He came to her with a bouquet and Jhanvi gave those flowers to Naren.

Jha: Happy today Mr. Naren and best wishes for your engagement with Liya. See you.

Jhanvi got down from the car and left from there with Ram and Mayuri leaving a perplexed Naren in his thoughts.

Naren: What does she mean by happy today. Did she do some plot against me ?

Naren drove at utmost speed to his office and called his PA while driving.

Nare: Check out if something is out of control in our office or any suspicious incidents. Call all our business heads and alert them for Now quick....

He reached his office and called all the heads of his business on a video call to check if everything was under control. He was getting pissed each passing minute and lashed out on his executives when he could not find what Jhanvi had plotted against him. 

Jhanvi prepared a feast for everyone to celebrate Akhil's success in opening the resort. Sanjay, Ram, Vishal, Isha and Kamala were enjoying her cooking and they were having a great time laughing and chatting. They played cards, watched movie and played with the baby for a long time. They took shifts in taking care of the baby.

Jhanvi was in the garden enjoying the evening breeze after spending the day with everyone. Ram gave her chocolate milk shake and sat next to her.

Ram: What did you speak with Naren rose bud ? Did you tell him that you knew everything ?

Jha: No, I just greted him and gave him the bouquet with a deep meaning and I believe he got my hint and enjoying his day. And I don't think he knew that I am aware of everything so as of now let it be as such. We need to find if Akhil did any accident when he was young and only uncle and aunt can give those information. Uncle said he will be here to see our baby and I m planning to get the information from him. 

Ram: Rose bud, he was business man and most of the times he must have been on trips and meetings at office late night so what if he did not knew of it ?

Jha: I thought of this too so we need to bring Sheela aunty home and for that I need to convince Akhil for that.

Ram: your husband is hard headed and not sure if this idea will work. May be we can visit her and confront about this.

Jha: No, he will agree and I have a soild reason for that just wait and watch and moreover everyone deserves a second chance. I believe she must realized her mistakes and would definitely regret for doing everything. Moreover she is his mother and doesn't deserve such cruel punishment. She helps us or not it doesn't matter but I want her to be out of those doors.

Ram: A snake is a snake always. Whatever you do doesn't change it into earthworm. Look before you do anything Anvi. 

Jha: Change your way of looking at people Ram. Not all are same at all times, they tend to change with time and life changes everyone. Did you ever thought I would be living a happy life ever but look today. I m married to the hottest man, a racer and a successful business man and most importantly he loves me to infinity.

Ram: That I m happy for you Rose bud its just when it comes Mrs. Sheela I m not sure of trusting her. 

Jha: I believe she would have changed and will surely help us even if not for us atleast for Akhil because she loves him a lot and is very possessive over him which was also one of the reason for her acts.

Naren threw all the things on his desk in frustration when he could not find Jhanvi's plot and pulled his hair in frustration later he recollected her words. " Happy today Mr. Naren and best wishes for your engagement with Liya "

Naren: Liya...she wished for my engagement with Liya...did she do something against Liya ?

Naren called Liya immediately but her call went unanswered. He stormed out of his room and rushed to the elevator to reach the parking. 

He stopped the driver and he himself started driving and was trying Liya's number non -stop. He hit the steering and yelled at himself for not thinking of Liya even earlier. He called their driver when he could not reach her.

Driver: Good evening sir...

Nar: Where is Liya ? Is she at home ?

Driver: Yes sir, I dropped madam two hours ago and she must be inside sir. 

Nar: Now get inside and find her. I m unable to reach her. Where did the maids go ?

Driver: Madam sent them with day off in the morning even before you left for office. She must be alone inside.

Drive: Be on call and get inside and look for her. I m on way to home.

Driver went inside and searched her in the living,kitchen, garden, pool and did not find her and updated Naren on call who started sweating profusely on hearing it.

Nar: Check for her in the rooms...I m almost there.

Driver knocked on her room but it was already open he voiced his arrival and opened the door but it was empty.

Driver: Sir, madam is not in her room. Let me check in other rooms.

Naren stopped his car and rushed inside home and started shouting her name searching in every room. finally he entered his room and saw the bathroom door locked from inside.

Driver stood in the living when he knew Naren had found Liya in his room. He hesitated a bit but then left to the garage.

Naren banged on the door startling Liya who was in the tub. She wrapped a towel and opened the door. Naren stood panting and sweating and the next moment he hugged her. Liya was confused on his behaviour but she hugged him back. Once Naren was relieved she was safe he pulled back from the hug and slapped her.

Nar: Arivu irukka di unakku. ( Do you any brains ) I have been trying to reach you for so long and where is your damn mobile Liya. I felt losing my life when I could not reach you or find you.

Liya held her cheeks with tears in her eyes but knew something was wrong else Naren would have not behaved so rude with her.

Liya: What happened Naren, why are you so enraged ? I went to meet Neetu and felt like my head and body was aching so badly so thought of taking a warm bath. I missed you so much and you haven't even made a call to me through out the day and every time I called it was busy. So I came to your room to get your warmth and decided to bath in your tub. I m sorry if I did wrong.

Naren hugged her and caressed her hair and started explaining everything. 

Right at moment Naren's mobile from an unknown number and he answered the call and flinched to hear the voice. It did took a second to recognize the voice of Jhanvi from the other end.

Nar: Why did you call me now ? 

Jha: Hello Mr. Naren, Why is your voice so shaken ? Ohhh may be because you had a happy day. 

Nar: Don't think yourself so smart Mrs. Akhil. If you think you have taken revenge then be ready for my game. Don't under estimate me.

Jha: It was not revenge Naren. I showed you the taste of your own medicine. Just rewind the day and realize how you felt even after my casual words with a stress. You were scared to lose anything because every penny is your own blood and sweat which you earned all these years. When someone tends take them easily it really pains and hurts and same goes to Akhil. What you are trying to do with him is the same, his blood and sweat he earned all these years. How could you do this to him ?

I have never hurt anyone in my life but you have been stressed because of me and let me compensate for it.

Nar: Do you think that I will change my mind just because of your words or compensation ?

Jha: Its upto you Naren but if I did not repent for what I did for you then my conscience will kill me. So now check the details of the share holders of your IT firm. Your long trusted Accountant is planning behind your back. Get those shares back before everything goes out of your control.

Jhanvi cut the call and smiled at Ram returning the mobile to him whereas Naren stood dumbstruck from her words.
