Sheetal was toing & froing in her room, angry & frustrated thinking of the sudden drastic changes happened in her well planned situations in Raizada family.

How did everything suddenly went downhill. She had worked hard to make a place for her son & herself in this Raizada family & had almost achieved it. Everybody was wrapped around Arav & her. Almost everybody's day started & ended around them. Khushi had lost all her importance & had become just a servant in her own family just the way she had planned. It was just Arav & herself everywhere & for everyone. Be it nani, mami, Payal, NK, Anjali & even Arnav. They all were just  completely charmed by Arav & her. With Arav for obvious reasons that he resembled completely to Arnav & with herself being Arav's mother & Arnav's friend. Everybody used to be at Arav's & hers beck & call then how & why suddenly everybody started drifting away. Well mami & Anjali are still the same. Actually mami doesn't even matter & Anjali though she is still the same with Arav like his mother hen but she is getting detached with her (Sheetal) which is not a good sign because Anjali & her motherly love for Arav is her trump card to reach to her ultimate motive.

She gripped her mobile tight in her fist in anger.

NK, nani & Payal have suddenly & surprisingly flipped their sides & now they seem to be against her, backing Khushi. Same goes for Arnav. He had become completely ignorant, aloof & angry with Khushi after the DNA fiasco & after her phone convo with Khushi from Mumbai she had expected Khushi to leave RM even before she returns back with Arnav from Mumbai. But after returning she got to witness a complete unexpected change in Khushi & others’ behaviour towards her but the most surprising was of Arnav. He who was neck deep angry & annoyed with Khushi was now back to being a loving & caring husband.

Urrrggghhh… How she hates his & Khushi's closeness. She gritted her teeth & kicked the bed in frustration.

Something has definitely happened in her absence which brought so many changes in Nani, Payal, NK & then Arnav as well. She concluded.

Her mobile rang breaking her self rant & she took a deep breath to control her anger.

But the caller's name made her grit her teeth harder.

What?? She barked in the phone after receiving it.

She heard to the person on the other side.

I told you not to call me & annoy me with one & the same thing again & again. She yelled.

The opposite person replied something & she frowned.

Ok. I got it. I have just a week more to accomplish my mission & I would do it. Just don't irritate me again by calling again & when are you gonna transfer next installment in my account?? She asked.

But the person had already cut the phone.

She threw her mobile on the bed angrily.

Bastard….keeps on threatening me to complete my mission but when I ask for my money he cuts the call. She threw daggers at her mobile on the bed, cursing her accomplice.

I terribly need a cold shower right now. She scampered away to the bathroom.

NK peeped into Sheetal's room & found it vacant but her mobile was lying on the bed. This was the chance he wanted.

He sneakily entered Sheetal's room. He heard the shower running means Sheetal is in the bathroom as expected.

He stealthily picked Sheetal's mobile from the bed & replaced it with another one similar to hers.

He sneaked out & went to his room where Khushi, nani & Payal were waiting for him with Laxmi as well.

He then showed thumbs up to nani & Payal who on the cue moved out of his room with Laxmi showing their thumbs up to Khushi & NK.

NK immediately unlocked Sheetal's mobile. When he was roaming around Sheetal during his days of attraction for her he had seen her mobile lock pattern cheekily for his own favour which is coming into advantage now.

He opened her call history & according to Khushi's instructions of day & time of that call made to Sheetal by her partner, NK scrolled there & found PRIVATE NUMBER written on it. They also noticed that Sheetal had got a call from that same number just a while ago. As it was a private number they were not able to get the mobile number. They were disheartened.

But NK thought to call the same number from Sheetal's mobile itself & get some information if possible.

But seems Sheetal & her partner were criminals of first grade because when NK dialled he got to know that it's a one way number. Means calls can be done from that number but nobody can call back to that same number, not even Sheetal. Now they neither have the caller's mobile number nor they could call him back from any device. So it was like a dead end for them.

NK was about to throw Sheetal's mobile on the floor in anger but Khushi stopped him from doing so. No Nanheji. Control yourself or Sheetal will get to know everything. She advised shaking her head.

She was also dispirited but they can't lose control.

Nanheji… How about taping Sheetal's phone?? Like this we will directly get to know about all her incoming calls. Khushi suggested.

Good idea Khushiji. Though it's illegal to do without police's permission but a friend of mine is a pro in such matters & is a techno savvy as well so he would be definitely helpful to us. We just need to give him Sheetal's number. NK said.

Khushi nodded with a hope searing in her.

On the other hand Sheetal came out of the bathroom after her shower. After applying perfume she moved to take her mobile from the bed when suddenly Laxmi came rushing & dashed her head to Sheetal's legs from behind.

Unprepared & unaware Sheetal got disbalanced & fell on the floor with a thud.

Before Sheetal could understand anything Laxmi climbed on her lap & started licking her clothes, hands & face roughly transferring her sticky saliva on her.

Sheetal tried to shove her off but Laxmi wasn't budging & was just licking her everywhere she could reach as if she was on a licking spree today.

Ah.. Ah.. You stupid goat.. Get off of me.. Stop it.. You brainless animal… Stop licking me & get off of me… Sheetal kept on shouting, trying to push Laxmi away from her but instead Laxmi pushed her completely on the floor & now Sheetal was lying completely flat on her back on the floor moving her hands & legs to wave Laxmi off. But Laxmi was now licking her more easily.

Sheetal started screaming for help.

Payal & nani who were watching everything standing outside Sheetal's room were laughing like maniacs holding their stomachs & clasping their mouths.

They were thoroughly enjoying Sheetal's condition. They let her shout because nobody would come to help her as it was their plan only so NK & Khushi would definitely not come. Anjali & mami were playing with Arav in the garden in the front yard. Arnav was attending a teleconference in his room with earphones in his ears & the Prakash brothers were busy in the kitchen. So they thought to have fun for more time on Sheetal's expense.

They were completely enjoying her plight & fight with Laxmi who was now hell bent on tearing Sheetal's skirt with it's hem in her mouth.

Leave my skirt you dumb goat. Leave it. Sheetal shouted, somehow managing to sit from her lying position.

But Laxmi was chewing her skirt hem & had made it wet & stinky with her saliva.

Sheetal tried to snatch her skirt from Laxmi's mouth but Laxmi's grip was too strong.

Nani & Payal were laughing hard & were enjoying the scene without any mercy on Sheetal.

Finally Laxmi succeeded to chew & tear a part of Sheetal's skirt & that had set Sheetal seething.

But before she could react, all the pushing & forcing had taken a toll on poor Laxmi & she emptied her stomach on Sheetal's lap & mehed feeling light.

Sheetal was absolutely horrified to see Laxmi's potty in her lap which seemed like black seeds spread on her pink skirt. She felt like puking. She clasped her nose & mouth immediately, disgusted.

Now nani & Payal were literally sitting on the floor holding their stomachs tight as the scene made them laugh uncontrollably that they had tears in their eyes due to so much of laughing. They hified & continued to laugh seeing Sheetal's horrified expressions.

Sheetal was way too much occupied by Laxmi to notice them.

You dirty creature. How dare you poop on me, on my clothes. Sheetal screamed & pushed Laxmi with all her might & got up hurriedly from the floor with the black poop scrambling on the floor from her lap.

I won't leave you today. Sheetal rushed towards the corner table in rage, picking up the vase she was about to hit Laxmi but nani & Payal rushed in the room immediately.

Payal held Sheetal's raised hand glaring at her & taking the vase placed it back on the table.

Nani had immediately carried Laxmi in her arms & was caressing her head. Laxmi looked calmer now.

What were you doing Sheetal?? Payal shouted.

How dare you tried to hit my Laxmi?? Nani glowered at Sheetal.

Sheetal was dumbfounded initially, seeing them popping out of nowhere in her room.

When she was screaming for help nobody appeared & suddenly these two women barged in to save this stinky goat. Sheetal wandered, stunned.

Wo naniji… see na what this idiot goat has done to me, my clothes & this room. Sheetal replied gesturing to herself & the floor making a pitiful face.

First of all her name is Laxmi & she is not an idiot. She is a member of this family. So dare you call her idiot or anything else Sheetal. Understood?? Nani warned Sheetal, caressing Laxmi's stomach.

Sorry naniji. I was just annoyed as Laxmi was not getting off of me. She was just licking me everywhere. I just had my shower. Sheetal replied rubbing her face & hands which were licked by Laxmi.

So… Will you hit her for playing with you?? Payal asked angrily.

She was playing with me?? Sheetal asked flabbergasted.

Payal & nani nodded.

But I have never seen her playing with anybody else in this way. She was actually violent with me & dirty too. Sheetal said making a nauseated face & looking at the floor with disgust.

Nani & Payal pursed their lips, stifling their laughter but maintained a poker  face.

Have you ever tried to spend some time with Laxmi that you would know her habits & likes?? Payal asked sarcastically.

Sheetal fumbled with her reply.

Don't bother to answer Sheetal. Payal said & next time don't dare to even shout on my Laxmi, hitting her is out of question. She is like a kid to me & we all treat & love her as a family member. I expect you treat her the same. Got it?? Nani asked furiously.

Sheetal nodded looking at Laxmi, cursing the poor being inwardly.

What happened naniji?? Khushi asked innocently, entering the room with NK.

Nothing Khushi bitiya. Sheetal didn't know Laxmi's importance in our family so Payal bitiya & I were making her aware of the same. Nani said looking at Sheetal with a mocking smile.

Khushi came & stood near nani who was standing near bed with Laxmi in her arms.

Oh yes, Laxmi is an integral part of our family. NK said coming near nani & Khushi. Sheetal's attention was on Khushi who was caressing Laxmi's head.

Yes, that she is. Khushi replied smiling at Laxmi.

Sheetal was fuming inwardly at Laxmi & this crazy people, who think of this creature as a family.

NK blinked his eyes at Payal who was standing opposite to him near Sheetal. Payal nodded her head in understanding.

Sheetal, how can you think of hitting Laxmi with that vase huh?? Payal turned Sheetal towards herself holding her forearm.

Payal I… Sheetal started but Payal didn't let her continue.

What if nani & I wouldn't have reached on time?? You would have hit our Laxmi & she would have bled probably. Payal growled gripping Sheetal's forearm tight.

Sheetal hissed. Shaking her head she was trying to speak in between but Payal was not letting her to do so.

Taking the chance NK bent a little bit & taking out Sheetal's original mobile from his pocket, he exchanged it with the one he had replaced before. Nani & Khushi had covered him tactfully.

Once done he showed thumbs up to nani & Khushi. Payal too saw it from the corner of her eye.

It was time they leave the room.

Next time be careful while behaving with our Laxmi. Nani warned Sheetal & started to move out carrying Laxmi.

Don't forget to clean the floor Sheetal. Khushi ordered.

WHAT?? Sheetal shouted. I won't clean this dirt of Laxmi. Ask HP to do it. Sheetal replied moving back.

HP has already done today's cleaning in the morning. He won't do it again. He has other works to do. Also it's your room so you yourself should clean it. We all do it if our room gets dirty by us after it's cleaned by HP once in the morning. You think yourself as a part of this family. Don't you?? Khushi asked narrowing her eyes.

Sheetal had no other option then nodding her head.

Good. Than clean your room yourself. Khushi said & walked out of the room with her gang without waiting for Sheetal's reply.

Once they reached nani's room, nani placed Laxmi on the floor & gave her a bunch of lettuce leaves to eat which she started munching happily.

Nani caressed Laxmi's head. Thank you Laxmi for helping us today.

Laxmi mehed between her feed as if accepting Naniji's thank you & continued eating.

Laxmi not only helped us today but she also took a bit of revenge from Sheetal for my Khushi whom Laxmi also loves a lot. Payal said taking Khushi in a side hug.

Really jiji?? How?? Khushi asked enthusiastically.

Payal looked at nani & then both burst out laughing remembering Sheetal's condition made by their dear Laxmi.

Khushi & NK too chuckled amused, seeing them laughing.

Naniji, did Laxmiji do exactly what we had expected?? Khushi probed further.

Oh Khushi bitiya, she did much more than that. Nani replied laughing & then she told about Laxmi's potty shower on Sheetal.

NK & Khushi's eyes widened & then they too cackled loudly.

Payal bitiya & I were thoroughly entertained by Sheetal. Nani said controlling her guffaws.

Yes Nanheji. What a plan you made!! Payal said amidst her laughter.

NK raised his collar proudly.

But our poor Laxmiji had to bear the bitterness for us. Khushi said sadly, looking at Laxmi who was enjoying her bunch of greens.

Khushi bitiya, I'm sure Laxmi must be happy helping us. Nani said smiling.

But Nanheji, I didn't knew you could come up with such a wonderful plan. Khushi said winking at Payal & nani.

But I knew Nanhe would definitely come up with a crazy plan just like he himself is. Nani teased NK.

Naniji, not fair. I made such a mindblowing plan & you are making fun of me, instead of praising me. NK whined like a kid.

The ladies convulsed into laughter again.

Laxmi doesn't like to eat bitter gourd. The family too never feeds it to her. If mistakenly she consumes it then she rubs her tongue on anything until she gets rid of that bitterness. So when NK had stolen Sheetal's mobile from her room, nani & Payal had taken Laxmi outside Sheetal's room & had fed her a bitter gourd hiding it in between a bunch of spinach. Initially Laxmi chewed it along with spinach but when she tasted the bitterness she got frustrated & was trying to rub her tongue on nani's saree. Exactly at that moment Sheetal had come out of the bathroom & was moving towards the phone. Nani & Payal had to stop her otherwise she would know it that it's not her phone, though it looked similar until touched & seen properly. So the moment Sheetal reached near the bed Payal pushed Laxmi towards her in the room. Sheetal was smelling all sweet as she had freshly showered with her fruity shower gel & fruity shampoo & her perfume was tempting as well. So Laxmi just wanted to lick the sweet smell & get rid of her bitterness. So she did what she did with Sheetal then.

It was all NK's plan.

Anyways Nanhe, Khushi bitiya... Did you get any information about Sheetal's partner in crime from her mobile?? Nani asked sobering up, sitting on the bed.

Khushi filled a glass of water from the jug kept there & offered nani. No naniji we couldn't get anything. Khushi replied, upset.

Nani & Payal frowned. NK explained them everything.

But you all don't get upset. I will personally go to my friend tomorrow morning & ask him for his help. I'm sure he wouldn't deny. NK assured blinking his eyes.

All the three ladies nodded hopefully.

Khushi then told them about the credit card issue & all raised their doubts on Sheetal. A greedy, selfish & vile woman like her can never help anybody without any profit of hers. Even if it's not her money she won't do any charity until it's advantageous to her. The woman & the boy she helped must have been helpful to her in any possible way & that help is surely linked with the mission she has come here with. They were sure of that.

After dinner Khushi & Payal were helping Prakash brothers in cleaning the kitchen. NK was in his room watching a movie. Arnav was waiting for Khushi in their room. Anjali was as usual adoring Arav who was filling colours in his sketch book sitting besides her in the living room. Sheetal was sitting on the other side of Arav busy in her phone. Mami was talking to mamaji, her husband who was presently in Singapore for some new deal. Nani was sitting besides her glaring at her never ending demands she was making to mamaji to get from Singapore.

Aur haa Akas ke papa, don't phorget to bring that new ainti-aiging kareem phor sasuma. She haj got too many wrinklj on her phess. She ij my mother in la so she should look aj bootiphool aj me. Mami said in the phone patting her face looking at her sasuma who glared at her.

Mami smiled sheepishly. Anjali chuckled.

You want that cream for my amma or for yourself Mannu?? I know you want to hide your own wrinkles under the pretext of getting the cream for my amma. Mamaji said chuckling from the other side of the phone.

Aap to shutupia hi kar lio haan & don't phorget to get my new makeupwa kit. Ok. Ab hum phone rakhat hai. Hello hi bye bye. (you just shut up & don't forget to get my new make up kit. Now I'm disconnecting the phone.) Mami disconnected the call flaring her nostrils.

Anjali chuckled shaking her head.

Manorama, you already have so many make up kits. Still you asked Manohar to get one from Singapore. He is there for business purpose & you are bothering him with your useless demands. Nani chastised mami.

Arey, so what!! I am hij waif. He lovj me & likes to get thingj phor me & no woman can hab enaph of make up kits. She would alwaj like to hab more. Haina Anjali bitiya. Mami asked Anjali expectantly who affirmed nodding her head without any option.

Taking good advantage of my son's love. Nani shook her head exasperatedly at her daughter in law who twiched her nose annoyed.

The door bell rang & Aakash entered with a big carry bag in his hand. Akash had a dinner meet with his clients so he was coming from there & looked exhausted.

Smiling at the ladies he slumped on the sofa.

You look tired Akash?? Nani asked concerned.

Yes dadi. The meeting stretched too much then I had assumed. He replied loosening his tie.

Payal had heard her husband's voice so she came out with a glass of water for him.

He smiled at her & had the water in a go.

What ij it in the bag you got Akas bitwa?? Mami asked curiously.

Oh this. He opened the bag & took out a big rectangular box from it.

Here dii take it. It's the same video game you wanted for Arav. Akash said forwarding the box towards a very happy Anjali.

But before her, Arav jumped out from his place & snatched the box from Akash's hand.

Anjali aunty, this is the same video game which I had wanted. He shouted excitedly.

Yes Arav. It's that one only. Anjali replied ruffling his hair, smiling happily seeing Arav happy.

Thank you so much Anjali aunty. Arav said kissing Anjali's cheek happily. Anjali kissed him back You are welcome dear.

By the time Khushi had also come out of the kitchen & was standing near Payal, watching the scene.

But Anjali this game is still not available in Indian market then how did Akash get it?? Sheetal asked.

Yes Sheetalji. But Arav had seen this game on internet & he wanted this game. But it isn't available in India yet so he was very upset which I can't see. Akash had told me that our Dubai clients are going to come to India so I had asked him to ask them to get this game from there for Arav & they got it already. Anjali supplied, helping Arav in opening the game box.

Thank you so much Anjali for being so loving & caring for my Arav. Seeing your love for him anybody would think that he is the son of this family only. A Raizada heir. Sheetal said purposely eyeing at Khushi.

Anjali, mami & Akash didn't understand the hidden meaning as they were busy looking at the game Arav had taken out from the box but nani, Payal & Khushi did share glances but didn't give any reaction to Sheetal, much to her displeasure.

Dii, don't you think you are going overboard to fulfill Arav's demands. You are not only spoiling him but you are wasting so much of money behind him extravagantly which is not right. Arnavji & Akash work so hard day & night & you are wasting money behind Arav who already has everything beyond need in this house. He needs to concentrate on his studies but you are just ruining him. Payal kept forth her point of view as she was now at the brim of her endurance looking at Anjali's increasing craziness for Arav.

Anjali's face contorted with hurt hearing Payal's accusations.

Sheetal & Arav were looking at Payal angrily.

Payal... How could you accuse dii of wasting money?? Akash yelled at his wife not able to see his dii's pained face. Dii has all the rights on the money bhai & me earn. She is our dii & she doesn't need to think or ask us before using the money.

I'm not saying that she has no rights on the money or she has to take permission before spending. I just want to say that Arav is just an eight year old boy. He already has lots of toys, various videogames, other electronic equipments which should actually not been given to him at this age like mobile, laptop etc but he has everything of his own owing to dii. He should be equally attentive for his studies but he is always busy playing games. Dii isn't doing good. Payal retorted looking at teary Anjali.

Khushi was quietly observing everything.

Payalji... I just want to see Arav happy & that's why I fulfill all his demands & so what his demands are costly, we can afford them.  Once he will go away from this house then how would he have everything of his likes so I am trying to give him as much as possible. Even my brothers don't mind me doing so. But I'm sorry Payalji if you don't like me spending money as per my wishes then I would stop from now on. Anjali replied hurtfully, wiping her tears.

No, no Anjali bitiya. Don't say so. Thij ij your houj & you are phree to live & ishpend aj per your wis. Mami said rushing immediately to her Anjali bitiya.

Payal, you hab no rights to stop Anjali bitiya phrom doing anything she likes. Anjali bitiya lovj Arav bitwa bhery much. So she can gib him bhatever she wants & you are nobody to interphere. Underishtand. Mami yelled glaring at Payal.

No maaji, I don't understand that how I don't have any rights to interfere. I'm the daughter in law of this house & have equal rights the daughter of this house posseses. So I can definitely interfere in the matters of this house. I don't understand why are you making a mountain out of an ant-hill. I said a simple thing that it's not good for Arav to have such costly things at this tender age. He can become obstinate & extravagant. How will Sheetal handle him after they both are gone from here after two months. Also it's not good for dii to get so much attatched to Arav. She might suffer emotionally after he is gone. I'm saying this for her betterment. Payal exclaimed shaking her head at her sasuma's idiocracy.

Getting reminded of Arav's impending departure fresh tears flowed from Anjali's eyes.

Taking the chance Sheetal moved near her. Anjali, please don't cry. You are getting to hear all these due to Arav & me. Only if Arav's father was there with us we wouldn't have been this helpless. He is a multi millionaire & can give Arav factories of such games but he is already married so I can't do anything. When you shower so much love on my Arav I feel he is getting love from his father only. But you get to hear such hurtful words from others in your own house due to us & I'm sorry for that. Sheetal wiped Anjali's tears & hugged her with fake sympathy.

Did you see Payal how understanding Sheetal is towards our family & you being the daughter in law of this family don't understand dii who has always stood with you, supported you. Akash said dissappointed with Payal.

You are right Akas bitwa. Mami interrupted. Payal, don't phorget that Anjali bitiya is dater oph thij houj & only shister oph Arnav bitwa & Akas bitwa who can do anything phor their dii. She is Raijjada's dater & not phatichar Guptaj dater. Mami taunted glaring at Payal.

Mamiji, please don't say such things. Anjali tried to stop mami not liking the way she was insulting Payal.

But Sheetal was enjoying the insults Manorama was throwing at Payal in return of the cleaning she had to do due to that Laxmi in the evening.

Arav had already ran up the stairs to his room to play with his new video game, not wanting to get bored of this family drama until they don't hurt his mother.

Payal was enraged hearing her sasuma's heartless words.

Exactly maaji. My sasuma & my husband have always stood for the daughter of this house but never supported the daughter in laws of this house. I raised just a small valid point & you both are standing against me. Have you both ever supported me?? Have you ever seen me even with eyes of a mother in law sasuma let alone lending your support ?? I am always a Gupta's daughter for you who has no status & probably is nothing more then a servant for you. Payal said in a choked voice.

& Akash you, being my husband it's your responsibility to care for my respect & dignity in your house. But what did I get from you?? Nothing. Whenever maaji abuses me, taunts me, you just watch everything as a mute spectator expecting me to bear everything wordlessly. But when I raise my voice for myself, use my rights, then you stand against me for your maa & dii. How fair is that?? Besides being a devoted son & a doting brother have you ever tried to become a loving & caring husband for me?? You never stopped maaji from taunting me, calling me with that rediculous name but when I say something against your maa & dii you are ready to fight with me reminding me of my responsibilities & showing me low infront of the outsiders. Payal said amidst tears.

The pain & hurt she had been bearing from months finally coming to the fore.

Nani & Khushi were looking everything painfully but they didn't interrupt as they want Payal to let out her anguish today which was due since long.

Ok Akash, just tell me if dii was living with her inlaws & her mother in law & husband would have behaved the same way with her then had you kept quiet then also & had you expected dii to endure everything just like you expect from me. No, you wouldn't because she is your sister, daughter of the Raizadas who deserves everything best & not like the daughter of the Guptas who don't even deserve their due respect. Right Akash?? Payal mocked Akash who turned his face, not able to answer.

Anjali couldn't see Payal's tears. She came forward.

Payalji, please don't cry. Akash & mamiji didn't mean to hurt you.  It's just that mamiji sometimes goes overboard but she is good at heart & Akash loves you a lot, just that he is a bit more concerned for me. Nothing else. Don't take their words to your heart. I'm sorry that I couldn't understand your genuine concern for Arav. I'm so sorry that it stretched too much & became a big issue. Anjali apologized genuinely, wiping Payal's tears.

Khushi observed that Anjali is still that loving & caring sister in law. But when it comes to Arav she looses all the sense of understanding. Does she also think that Arav is Arnavji's son. No, no. If that was the case then she would have never agreed for letting him go after two months. She would have stubbornly stayed on her decision to keep him in this house. Even better she would have tried to give Arav all his rights of being Arnavji's son. But it seems that she just wants to shower all her love on Arav in any which way possible. By staying with him for maximum time, by making his favourite food or by fulfilling all his demands. She just wants to make him happy. What is the reason behind such deep attachment of hers with Arav. As usual Khushi could analyse but couldn't reach to any conclusion.

Akash was watching his wife's agonized face shamefacedly. Today first time she has raised her voice & she is absolutely right. He has always been a good son & brother but couldn't become an equally good husband. She had married him, left her family & had come in this house trusting him to take her responsibility. It was his duty to look after her happiness & comfort, to protect her respect & dignity. But he failed in all the measures. He failed to get her respect from his mother & somewhere he himself too took her for granted thinking that now she is his wife so it's her duty to mingle with his family & bore everything without wincing. He expected her to perform all her duties of a daughter in law & a wife which she did very well but he himself failed to become a good husband to her. But now when his wife herself has opened his eyes, she would now get a changed man. A husband she would be proud of. He determined to himself.

But his mother still needs a good shaking as she was still not ready to accept her follies.

Anjali bitiya, I didn't say anything wrong. There ij alwayj a dippharance between a dater & a dater in la of the houj. A dater alwaj haj more rights then a dater in la & so you hab more right on thij houj then Payal & Khusi. Mami said keeping her head high, not showing any relent towards Payal's words.

Now nani couldn't keep quiet.

So that means I have been doing wrong by treating you no less then Anjali bitiya when you are the  daughter in law of this house Manorama. Nani said sarcastically raising her eyebrows.

Mami widened her eyes feeling trapped.

No problem I will change myself from now onwards. Now you being the daughter in law of this house would be treated the same way by me the way you would treat your daughter in laws Manorama. I hope you won't mind. Nani asked mami who looked at Anjali for help but she didn't say anything as she too agreed to what nani suggested.

She has never liked or supported her mami whenever she had behaved badly with Payal & Khushi & she would never do so now as well.

Akash wanted to agree to his dadi but before ameliorating his mother he himself needs to improve his behaviour towards Payal so he kept mum.

But I'm now a mother in la sasuma so you can't do that with me. Mami countered.

Yes but still you are my daughter in law & would remain the same till I'm alive. So from now onwards watch your behaviour with your daughter in laws because you would get the same treatment in return from me. Understood bahuriya. Nani mocked mami who was scandalized to hear bahuriya from her sasuma after a long long time. That means her sasuma is serious in her words. Now she has to be careful around Payal & Khushi.

I... I'm going to my room. It's time phor my serial. Mami gave an excuse & scurried away before her sasuma lays more new rules for her.

Unknown to any of them Arnav had witnessed everything from the stairs above & now he was back in his room standing at the poolside. He deliberately hadn't gone down as he wanted his brother to understand his mistake of taking his wife for granted just like he himself has understood after making some unforgivable mistakes. He didn't want his brother to make any such mistakes & mend his relationship with his wife in due time before its too late. He was happy to see Payal standing for herself just like her sister, his Khushi. Both the sisters are so alike. Loving, caring, innocent but at the same time brave, courageous & self esteemed. He & Akash are lucky to have such strong willed girls as their life partners. He smiled proudly.

Good that he didn't go down otherwise how had he got to see his fierce nani flagellating her daughter in law, his mami because before nani he himself would have lashed out on mami. He chuckled to himself remembering his mami's frightful face at nani's words.

Also he wanted to see that does Sheetal try to take any advantage of the situation & she didn't dissappoint him. Since the Credit card issue & Aman's revealations he had been full of doubts for Sheetal. Now too he noticed how she tried to show fake sympathy towards his dii. How she tried to put down Payal in others eyes. How she tried to gain sympathy by raising the topic of Arav's father. She had been discussing about Arav's father without taking his name many a times before but today through her tone Arnav felt as if she was trying to imply something forcefully to his dii.

Is she actually trying to prove that he is Arav's father??  He ran his fingers in his thick hair in frustration.

Sheetal how did I failed to notice the hidden motive behind your words before?? How did I fail to judge you?? He gritted fisting his palms tight, angry on himself.

Huh!! What's new in that. You failed to judge Khushi's innocence & Shyam's treachery too before ASR. Arnav mocked himself.

He was drowning in his own stew of guilt. All his misjudgments & its consequences were coming back to him with full force making him hate himself more & only his Khushi's presence can give solace to his restless heart.

Where is she?? Why isn't she back in the room yet?? He wandered looking back towards the vacant room.

He moved out to look for her.

Everybody were back in their respective rooms but Payal didn't want to go to her room yet as she was very much upset with Akash. Khushi too was avoiding to go to her room as looking at her Arnavji's guilty face her determination of staying away from him starts to waver. So both the sisters decide to go to NK's room & have some distraction from the gloominess. But they did fill him with the happenings downstairs. He praised Payal for taking stand for herself.

He was watching an English movie which was going bouncer to both the sisters. So NK offered to watch a bollywood movie of their likes & finally they settled for Hum Apke Hain Kaun, reason obvious of Khushi's favourite Salman Khanji being the hero in it.

All the three were sitting on the bed resting their backs to the headboard with NK in the centre & both the sisters on his either sides. They were enjoying the movie while munching on the chips from the packets NK keeps in his room for his emergency hunger which pops up anytime of the day & night as well.

Khushi was mesmerisingly looking at Salman Khan who was trying to impress Madhuri Dixit in the movie.

Payal was also smiling seeing the scenes remembering her days where Akash was hell bent on woeing her.

NK was ogling at the beautiful Madhuri Dixit.

They were so engrossed in the movie that they didn't even realise when Arnav & Akash entered the room & were looking shockingly at them.

Both the brothers looked at each other open mouthed seeing their wives & cousin not even registering their presence & completely lost in the movie.

Arnav had seen all the lights switched off in the hall & kitchen so he had assumed Khushi to be either in Payal's room or NK's. He had headed towards Payal's room but he saw Akash coming towards him who was searching for his own wife. So both the brothers understood that both the sisters are in NK's room & they rushed to his room to witness all the three of them completely involved in the movie.

Arnav grimaced with jealousy seeing his Khushi sitting as if hypnotized under Salman Khan's charm.

Akash was eager to talk to his wife & apologize for his behaviour but she was busy watching the movie.

Both the brothers called out their wives but didn't get any response so both of them came & stood opposite to their wives at the other end of the bed blocking the TV & the movie as well.

Khushi, Payal & NK shouted together at the interruption & both the brothers had to cover their ears saving them from getting deaf.

Arnavji, what are you doing?? Just move away from beween & let us watch the movie. Khushi shouted waving her hand at Arnav.

Yes Akash. Just move from there. My favourite scene is going to come. Payal too yelled at Akash who immediately moved away from there scared of his wife's anger from now & before.

Khushi what are you doing here?? Arnav asked irritated.

She is playing football with me & Payalbhabhi. NK replied with a mock glare.

Shut up NK. Arnav snapped.

You move from there Nannav & I will shut up as I'm interested in watching the beautiful Madhuri Dixit & not a khadoos laad Governer. NK replied & both the sisters giggled.

Arnav glared at him.

Khushi it's quite late. Don't you won't to sleep?? Come let's go to our room. He stretched his hand towards her to held.

Khushi walked on the bed towards him on her knees. He smiled thinking that she readily agreed. But Khushi pulled him aside holding his same outstretched hand & then moved back on her place to enjoy the movie.

WHAT THE!! Arnav uttered stupefied.

Khushi lets go & sleep. Arnav urged politely & so did Akash to Payal.

No. Both the sisters answered together.

I want to watch this movie. You go & sleep Arnavji. Khushi replied again concentrating on the movie.

Yes Akash. I'm also not moving from here until the movie ends. You go & sleep. Payal too replied without looking at Akash but the TV.

Both the brothers hunched their shoulders in surrender & then sat near their respective wives at the corners of the bed. They didn't want to go to their rooms without taking their wives.

NK snorted seeing their brother' helpless faces & received murderous glares from them in return.

The scene came where pre wedding rituals of Salman's brother & Madhuri's sister's are going on.

Payal & Akash were reminiscing their own pre wedding rituals where Akash was yearning to meet Payal & Payal was all jittery & wary thinking about Akash.

Arnav & Khushi too were feeling nostalgic remembering their cute nok jhoks & sneaky romance during Payash's wedding & their own second wedding.

Both the couples were smiling to them selves remembering their wedding days.

Arnav looked at Khushi's face who was blushing, may be recollecting one of their romantic moments of those days.

He too couldn't help but smile.

He slowly held her hand on her lap. Khushi looked at him & found that same love & adoration in his eyes for her. She smiled mildly at him & concentrated back to the movie but didn't pulled back her hand from his.

Akash had encircled his one arm around Payal's shoulder & was enjoying the movie with her.

Payal didn't stop him from doing so.

When the bidai scene came Khushi was also shedding tears alongwith Madhuri & her sister.

Arnav didn't like her crying. Taking out his hanky from his pockets he wiped her tears from her face & pulled her in his embrace.

He knew Khushi was having mixed emotions right now. So he was lending her his silent support, caressing her forearm.

NK was watching everything from the corner of his eyes. He was happy for both the couples that they were making progress in their fractured relationship. Specially his best friend Khushiji & Nannav.

When the song DIDI TERA DEVAR DEEWANA came on the TV screen, Khushi remembered how she had made fun of Arnav by dancing on this song on her jiji's sangeet night, altering the song as JIJI TERE JETHJI DEEWANE. She had expected him to get angry on her for making fun of him but surprisingly he had taken it sportingly & had laughed heartily.

Arnav too was remembering the same. He himself was surprised that how he hadn't blasted on her for making fun of him. She was looking very beautiful in that blue saree & was making cute faces at him during the whole song that he couldn't get angry on her at all. He chuckled remembering her crazy antics during that performance.

The movie was going on but Khushi & Payal both fell asleep unknowingly in the warmth of their husbands' arms.

Arnav & Akash one by one carried their sleeping wives to their respective rooms greeting good night to NK.

NK continued to watch the movie with a broad smile on his face.

Placing Khushi on the bed Arnav too joined her, covering themselves with the duvet & slept holding her hand.

Next morning being Sunday everybody was at home.

Akash hadn't got any chance to initiate any conversation with Payal since morning.

Arnav too was yearning to spent some time with Khushi but she was again back to her 'avoiding him' mode. He had thought that after their sweet movie-moments together last night, she would thaw a bit towards him & would give him some respite from this unbearable pain of staying away from her & will let him touch her. But that doesn't seem happening anytime soon.

Everybody was having their second round of tea & coffee sitting in the living room leisurely after their late Sunday breakfast.

Sheetal, where did you spent the 10 lakh rupees you swiped from the credit card given by dii??Khushi asked Sheetal suddenly out of the blew, sipping her ginger tea gaining everybody's attention.

Arnav was okay with Khushi raising this question as he himself was thinking on the same lines. But Sheetal choked on her coffee & coughed hard hearing Khushi's unexpected question.

Anjali's eyes had rounded in shock hearing the amount Sheetal has spent from the credit card she had given to her without consulting her Chhote.

Khushiji, what are you saying?? 10 lakh rupees?? Anjali asked Khushi, astounded.

Yes dii. She has done transactions worth 10 lakh rupees from the credit card which you had given her to use for fulfilling Arav's necessities. But still you yourself are fulfilling Arav's demands & wishes just like you got him latest video game from Dubai. So would you care to ask Sheetal where did she use this huge amount?? Arnav mocked Anjali with sarcasm filled words.

Answer Chhote's question Sheetalji. Anjali told Sheetal not so politely.

Wo, wo Anjali... Actually I.. I Sheetal gulped nervously.

Seeing her fumbling with words Arnav's & Khushi's doubts strengthened.

Seems you forgot Sheetal. Let me help you here. You have done three transactions. One of 6 lakh rupees for a lady called Suman, second of 3 lakh rupees for a boy named Rahul & third of a lakh rupee you swiped for yourself. Now remember. Arnav mock smiled at her keeping his empty cup back on the table.

Sheetal was now terribly scared. Everybody's attention was on her waiting for her answer. She took good two minutes before replying. I have used that money to help Mahesh. She started. Mahesh is my cousin. Suman & Rahul are his wife & son. His wife's both the kidneys have failed. They are looking for a donor but not getting any. Also it's way too costly so Mahesh is in need of money, too much of money but he isn't able to manage & the regular dialysis also costs him way too much. I accidentally happened to meet him a few days back when I got to know about his crisis. His son Rahul is 15 yrs & due to his mother's illness that poor child is going through too much of emotional pressure & on top of that his father had decided to withdraw his name from the school he is recently studying due to the monetary issues. When Mahesh told me all of this my heart cried for him & I couldn't hold myself back from helping him. Sheetal started crying resting her head on Anjali's shoulder who was sitting besides her.

Anjali held Sheetal's hand on her lap comforting her. Sheetal composed herself & then raising her head continued further.

Mahesh is a mere assistant in Lab department in city hospital & doesn't earn much. So I paid 6 lakhs for Suman bhabhi's dialysis for a few months & I got Rahul admitted in one of the best schools in Panchgini for his new academic year so that he doesn't have to see his mother dying everyday & he stays away from mental stress & can concentrate on his studies. He is a very brilliant student so I didn't want his studies to get affected. I just wanted to help my cousin who is going through such emotional & financial crisis. Sheetal said wiping her crocodile tears & looked at Anjali for sympathy whose face looked pained hearing of Sheetal's cousin's meloncholy.

Nobody spoke anything for a while. Khushi was scrutinizing Sheetal's face who was now looking at Arnav expectantly. Arnav seemed in some deep thoughts.

Nani, NK & Payal were looking at each other & then at Khushi who definitely didn't seem convinced with Sheetal's cousin's tragic story.

Hello hi bye bye, you did parphectly right Sital bitiya. Your cajin ij phacing so much. You did good by helping him. I am piroud oph you. Mami broke the silence with her as usual not needed interruption & praises for Sheetal, who smiled lightly at mami because she wanted to hear more sympathetic words from Anjali so that this topic ends here itself & isn't digged further for her own bad.

Akash saw Payal shaking her head, infurited at his mother's words.

Also looking at his bhai's & Khushi's serious face Akash felt that there's something wrong. Otherwise they would never behave so emotionless after hearing about anybody's tragic life. Specially about anybody's serious health issue & of a child's educational hindrances. But if they are not reacting so it's something worth worrying. He will ask his bhai afterwards.

Maa, you please stay quiet in such money matters. Let bhai handle. He knows what's right & what's wrong. Akash advised his mother not willing her to say something more on this matter.

Manorama twitched her face annoyed at her son's words but nevertheless kept quiet.

Payal was surprised to see Akash stopping his mother from talking.

Seems her words from yesterday have created some impact on him she thought.

Seeing Anjali lost in thoughts Sheetal pressed her hand to get some reaction from her but Anjali kept mum much to Sheetal's displeasure.

Helping others is good but only when you are capable of doing that. Not when you yourself are dependent on others for your own expenses, food & shelter. Not when you are practically reliable on others Sheetal. Everybody's head shot towards Khushi's stern voice who was looking at Sheetal sharply making her uncomfortable with her gaze & words.

But Khushi I... Sheetal started but was interrupted by Arnav

Khushi is right Sheetal. You aren't capable of taking care of your son & yourself & you are going on helping others. The money you used to help your cousin was mine & not yours. 10 lakhs is a huge amount & you didn't even think of asking me once before using my money. Arnav accused her angrily.

She gulped scared as she hadn't expected this reaction from ever so helpful Raizadas, specially Khushi.

But I used your money for a noble cause Arnav. I didn't spent it extravagantly on myself. Sheetal said a bit loudly, feeling humiliated.

Oh really. Then what did you buy from 1 lakh rupees that you spent on yourself Sheetal?? Arnav asked folding his hands & raising his eyebrows, intimidating Sheetal who shifted on her seat nervously.

With a proper plan Sheetal had faked  helplessness in front of Anjali for not being able to fulfill Arav's desires due to financial issues & as expected Anjali had offered her a credit card. Sheetal had felt elated for getting money to spent lavishly. Initially she had refused Anjali just for formality sake. She also had doubts that Arnav would oppose but Anjali had assured her that Arnav never keeps a check on his family's credit card bills & just signs them without looking at the bearer's name or amount. Still Sheetal had refused to have showing that she isn't a money digger & finally on Anjali's lot of insistence she had accepted it stating just for Arav's sake keeping upper hand.

But now everything seems just the opposite.

Wo Arnav... I.. I got some clothes & accessories for myself. She said.

Arnav glared at her. So you spent it on yourself Sheetal & that's definitely not a noble cause. He said sarcastically.

Arnav, I work in AR, India's top fashion house so I have to maintain it's standards & decorum by dressing accordingly & that's why I shopped for myself. She replied unabashedly.

Stop showing that you are doing any obligation on me & my company by working in it Sheetal. Arnav shouted standing up from his place, infuriated by Sheetal's words.

Everybody flinched at his sudden loud voice.

Sheetal too stood up on her place fearfully. Arnav I didn't mean that. She tried to do damage control seeing Arnav's anger.

Sheetalji, Chhote's anger is justified. Anjali who was silent till now spoke standing up. I alloted you the credit card to fulfill Arav's necessaties & wishes. But you used it for entirely different purpose. I agree you helped your needy cousin but still you should have asked Chhote before doing such huge transactions. Anjali stated clearly upset. You dissapointed me Sheetalji. Anjali shook her head dissapointedly at Sheetal & left to her room.

Arnav was going to Sheetal's room to warn her to not to take advantage of his dii's love & innocence when he heard her say. I hope you have understood everything clearly Mahesh. He peeped in & saw her talking in the phone. Be careful if anybody from the Raizadas comes to inquire about the money. Don't you dare spill out anything else or you will regret big time. Sheetal threatened Mahesh & cut the call.

Arnav was shocked at whatever he heard. He returned back to his room without meeting Sheetal.

Now he is damn sure that Sheetal is upto something big. He is assuming of a big conspiracy & he can't confront her because she won't say the truth. So now there's only one way.

He dialled his man Friday.
Aman, block Sheetal's credit card immediately & fix my appointment with Sanjay.

You mean the private investigator Sanjay?? Aman asked to confirm.

Yes, the one we used during Shyam's case. Ask him to come to office now. I will reach there in half an hour. You too reach there soon. Arnav cut the call after shooting his orders.

Khushi I'm going to office. An urgent meeting has turned up. I will be back in few hours. He said to Khushi who had just entered the room.

He was looking worried. Is all ok Arnavji?? She asked concerned.

Arnav didn't want to hide anything from her but he can't tell her anything as he himself doesn't know the real matter. He would make her aware once he knows everything.

Yes, nothing to worry. He replied fixing the knot of his tie.

Khushi came forward to help him wear his coat. He smiled at her inserting his hands in the coat sleeves.

Thank you. He kissed her forhead lovingly. I will be back soon. He said cupping her cheek.

Khushi nodded smiling lightly. Though she could sense something was wrong but she would wait for him to tell her himself.

Arnav moved out taking his mobile & car keys.

Khushiji, what happened?? You look lost since the confrontation with Sheetal regarding the credit card issue. Did you get any clue or hunch?? NK asked seeing her standing all lost when he entered her room.

Khushi jerked out of her thoughts hearing NK's voice.

Khushiji, is everything ok?? He probed further holding her shoulder.

Nanheji, Sheetal said her cousin Mahesh works in Laboratory department of City hospital.

So?? NK frowned.

The DNA report I got done was from that same lab. Khushi said & that rang comprehensive bells in NK's head.

You mean that Mahesh might also be involved with Sheetal in her plan?? NK asked.

I think so. Nanheji we need to find out. Let's go to the city hospital. Khushi suggested frantically.

Ok Khushiji. Let's go. We will also go to my friend regarding Sheetal's mobile trace. NK said & both moved out to inform Payal & nani about their plan.

Good that Arnavji has gone to office otherwise it would have been difficult for us to leave the house in his presence. Khushi said on the way. NK nodded.

Sheetal was lying on her stomach on her bed, crying in the pillow. Arav was sitting besides her.

Mom lets go back to States. We were so happy there. I miss my friends & school there. Arav said to his crying mom.

No baby. She sat upright immediately on the bed taking him in her arms.

You know na why we are here. Infact we were about to reach our goal but this Khushi ruined all our efforts & now even Anjali isn't supporting us due to that Khushi. She was crying & filling Arav's ears about how Khushi turned everybody against them.

Arav's heart pinched seeing his mother's tears. He was very angry on Khushi for making his mom cry.

You didn't do right Khushi aunty by hurting my mom & making her cry. You will have to pay for this. I will make sure you do. He said gritting his teeth with determination.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Khushi & NK returned home & straightaway went to nani's room where Payal & nani were waiting for them. NK closed the door after entering the room.

Nanheji did you both meet your friend?? Did he agree to help us?? Payal asked worriedly.

Yes Payal bhabhi. We met him & explained him our situation & he agreed to help us. We gave him Sheetal's number. But as the number we want to trace is a private number he will need some time. But he assured us that he will call us as soon as he gets any lead. NK replied.

Payal & nani sighed.

& about that Mahesh... Did you both get to know anything more about him Khushi bitiya?? Nani asked.

Khushi & NK looked at each other.

Mahesh is an assistant in city hospital laboratory but he isn't any cousin of Sheetal. He had helped her to get that second copy of DNA reports with 'positive' result which was obviously fake because the original report which I had tore had result in 'negative'. Khushi revealed.

Nani & Payal gasped shocked.

Not only that. NK continued from there. Sheetal then herself had went to the lab taking two hair samples which were both probably of Arav only. But Mahesh had already seen that original DNA report so when Sheetal arrived with the samples & gave Nannav's name Mahesh understood that there's some big plan behind this. Afterall Nannav is a high profile personality. So he planned to take advantage. He blackmailed Sheetal that he will reveal everything to Nannav. Sheetal offered him money which he was in dire need for his wife's treatment & his son's education.

Nani & Payal were hearing everything unblinkingly.

His wife was admitted in the government hospital as he couldn't afford the private hospital bills. Also his only son's education was hindering due to the lack of money. So he had a deal with Sheetal that She would transfer his wife's treatment in the city hospital itself where he works & get his son's admission in one of the best schools in Panchgini & in return Mahesh would keep his mouth shut & will also give the DNA report as per her demand.

Khushi completed sitting near nani who held her hand to comfort Khushi & herself, not able to believe that Sheetal could be this dangerously conspiring.

How did you find out all this?? Payal asked gulping hard.

Just like he blackmailed Sheetal, we blackmailed him by threatening him to reveal his secret to his higher authorities of giving fake reports & also complaining against him in the medical association which will make him not only loose his job but he would go to jail as well. He got scared. More for his ill wife & son than for himself. So he blurted out everything like a parrot. NK said.

To be on the safer side we also recorded his confession in our mobile & warned him strictly not to reveal anything to Sheetal about our meeting & knowing her secret. Khushi completed.

That was a smart move. Payal praised.

It was Khushiji's idea. NK said smiling at Khushi.

Nani caressed Khushi's head proudly.

Now we know that Sheetal had got the fake DNA report to create misunderstanding between Arnavji & me & eventually seperate us. But according to her words I had heard, she isn't interested in taking my place in the house or Arnavji's life as we all had assumed initially. She & her partner want to harm Arnavji in the worst possible way & that's clear. We can stop this from happening only when we get to know about her partner's identity. Khushi said looking at the three concerned faces & that can only happen after Nanheji's friend succeeds in finding the name of the owner of that private number.

Hope he is able to do it soon. Payal whispered hopefully.

Khushi bitiya, I think we should tell everthing to Arnav bitwa. He would easily sort this out with his intelligence & high contacts.Nani suggested.

NK & Payal looked at her anxiously.

Khushi thought for a few moments on nani's words then replied Naniji, I think you are right. But let's just wait till Nanheji's friend finds out about that private number owner then we will approach Arnavji with all the proofs.

Nani, Payal & NK agreed to her words & then they dispersed.

Arav saw Khushi coming out of her room talking to her mother on mobile. She was descending the stairs without looking down as her concentration was on her conversation with her mother.

Khushi aunty, you made my mother cry, now it's your turn to cry in pain. Arav whispered hiding behind the huge sofa.

My mother will get some solace seeing you in pain when your bones will break & you will be bed ridden & in lot of pain. He smiled evilly looking at the oil he has spilt on midstairs.

He closed his eyes elated as within few seconds he will get to see the scene where Khushi will slip due to the oil & would come tumbling down the stairs breaking her bones as a payback for making his mother cry.

AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!... His happy reverie broke with a loud scream he was expecting to hear.

YES... He pumped his fist in air triumphantly with a wide evil smile & opened his eyes to witness the scene he was waiting for to happen as per his plans.

But his eyes widened in horror hearing the ear piercing shouts.

Maa.. Akash shouted running towards his mother.

Maaji.... Payal yelled seeing her mother in law tumbling the stairs.

Mamiji... Khushi shouted from the top stair.

Manorama... Naniji yelped loudly for her daughter in law.

Arav gasped covering his mouth seeing mamiji who was lying on the floor wincing in pain holding her foot & Khushi who he wanted to hurt was standing fit & fine near mamiji, helping others to make mami stand.

He hit his head for failing in his plan to hurt Khushi. He hurriedly moved away from there before anybody notices him. But to his bad luck a pair of eyes had witnessed him fleeing away from there.
