Part 56 Who is she?

*Sumesh spoke to the woman and we found who she is* Aman said.

*Who is she? * asked Arnav.

*Raveena...* Aman said giving shock to Arnav.

*Whaaaat?*

*Yes, ASR... *

*Any evidence? * Arnav asked because he could not prove her wrong without evidence.

*We recorded the conversation*

*Send it to me*

*Already sent...*

*Ok...keep tabbing her phone...*

*Are not you going to reveal the truth? *

*Of course, I do... I want to know the reason. I know she would not have told the reason to Sumesh*

*Yes...he said you hit him and you didn't trust his words. *

*What did she say? *

*She said, she will take care of you...*

*Oh... will she take care of me...? * Arnav asked with anger.

*She said so...* Aman said.

*I will take care of her...* Arnav gritted his teeth.

*Yup*

They disconnected the call. Arnav came downstairs searching for Khushi. He knew as Raveena said, she will TAKE CARE of not him but Khushi. Raveena knew where and how to hit people. She will try to knock Khushi down emotionally. Just now, he started the life with Khushi, breaking all their differences between them. Raveena may corner Khushi.

Arnav stopped, hearing the conversation between Khushi and Raveena. No need to say Arnav was angry like hell with Raveen. On the other hand, he was relieved as Khushi solved the problem on her own. Instead of crying, she stood for herself and closed Raveena's mouth. Arnav liked it.

Khushi came out of the kitchen with two cups of coffee. She stopped, seeing Arnav. His facial expression was for her to understand that he heard their conversation. She made herself up. She came close to him and asked,

*Haven't you took bath yet? * she asked him casually.

*What did she say? * he asked with a daggered gaze.

*Nothing...let's go to our room* she dragged his hand.

Arnav clutched her hand and stopped her.

*Arnav, please...don't create a scene...*

*But Khushi...*

*Don't know why I think she is intentionally doing this. She needs something...maybe, our separation...or something else...*

*I don't care what she needs.... I just don't care, ok...? *

*But, Amma and Babuji does. Why should we make them sad? Come with me...if you really respect me...* she pulled him towards their room.

Arnav followed her to their room. She closed the door.

*Sit...*

Arnav glared at her. Khushi pressed his shoulder and made him sit on the bed.

*Why are you stopping me, Khushi? *

*I'm not stopping but asking to delay...*

*But why? *

*It's because no sister would behave in the way she behaves... Something is definitely wrong with her. Find it. *

Arnav closed his eyes, bowing down. What will Khushi think if she gets to know about what Raveena did? Khushi is right. No sister would behave like her. She behaves like a psychopath. What's her problem? What does she need? Let it be anything. She has to repent for her dirty act of sending Sumesh here. Taking a cup from the tray, Arnav drank the coffee. Khushi got relieved as he became calm but she didn't know it's burning inside him. Arnav didn't want Khushi to stop him from doing anything.

*Get ready for the office. You are getting late*

Arnav nodded yes and went to the washroom. Actually, he didn't have the idea to go to the office. He didn't say Khushi about it. She will get to know that in a few minutes, he thought.

When he came out of the washroom, Khushi was waiting for him. Neither she liked to go downstairs nor did she dare to leave Arnav alone. So, she stayed in the room. Without asking anything to her, Arnav got ready.

*Let's go...* Arnav said.

*I will bring you breakfast here*

Arnav folded his hands.

*Why? * he elevated his brows.

*We will eat together... What say? *

*No... we will eat with mom and dad* his voice was stern.

*Arnav...*

*Are you coming with me or not? * he asked strictly.

Khushi nodded yes pouting. She followed Arnav downstairs. They got rooted at the same place, seeing Arvind slapping Raveena. Arnav frowned his face whereas Khushi widened her eyes. Arvind again slapped her and raised his hand on her again.

*Arvindji...please stop it...don't hit her* Ratna clutched his hand.

*Do you have any idea what she had done? Making a man ready, she sent him to Chotte to lie about Khushi... the man came to RM the last evening and built up a story to Chotte... what is she thinking of us...? * He again slapped her.

There were red slap marks on Raveena's face. Ratna turned her towards her.

*Is it true? What your father told is true, Ravee? *

Raveena was silent.

*How do you know about it? * Ratna asked.

Even Arnav and Khushi were curious to know that.

*The security told me everything through phone... How dare she lie about Khushi? She is our Bahu... her parents sent her to our house trusting us... she tried to ruin her name...* He again raised his hand.

This time, Arnav stopped him.

*Is it, Chotte? * Ratna asked him.

*How do you know she is the one who sent him here? * Arnav asked Arvind.

*What do you think of me Chotte? Will I leave that easily? My men followed Sumesh until he called her and told her everything. My men were waiting out of the RM to get him. But I didn't expect you will leave him... why did you do that? *

*No dad. I didn't leave him but was tracking his phone to know who was behind this. I got to know about it in the morning. I have the conversation recording between them*

*What the hell is this Ravee? This is what you are? Why did you do that? How did you get such a nasty mind? How...? *

Raveena pushed Ratna.

*Haan, I did because I don't like this low-class girl enjoying our property... Her father planned well and sent her to our family... I know their plan... who is she Mom? What rights she is having in our family? *

*She has all the right in this family because she is Chotte's wife...*

*This is ridiculous...*

*Oh really? * Arvind asked sarcastically.

He looked at Khushi who looked distraught.

*Hann...can't you search for a high-class girl for Chotte? Don't you get someone better than her? * she extended her finger towards Khushi.

*She is better than anyone... better than me, better than you...and you have no rights to talk about MY Bahu* Arvind sneered.

*Why Dad? Why don't I have rights? *

*It's because you are not our daughter...* Ratna shouted.

The room became silent.

*Whaaaat! What did you say? *

*You are not our child but Ratna's friend's daughter...* Arvind said.

Raveena was indeed horrified hearing that.

*No... you guys are lying...* she nodded her head from left to right.

*You can get a DNA test and make sure of it* Arvind said firmly.

*We brought you up just like our own child. We never wanted to reveal the truth even though you hurt us a lot. But, now, you made us disclose the truth... by your act...I really hate you for this Raveena...* Ratna cried.

Arvind consoled her, circling her shoulders.

Even Arnav and Khushi shocked by the revelation. Yes, even Arnav doesn't know the truth. He thought she is his blood sister. Arvind and Ratna had been keeping the matter very secret.

Raveena ashamed to stand in front of them. This is a very big punishment for her. Her fosters gave her such punishment, revealing the biggest truth of her life. She will never dare to talk to them from here on...ever...

To be continued...

The next part will be available on INKITT

The turning point of the game

Raveena's condition was not to be described in words. She has almost died. She didn't even dream of her life will take an utter change. A few minutes ago, she had parents, she had a brother, she had status... she had everything... but now....? She is a ZERO. She is nothing, without a penny.

Arnav came to Ratna.

*Is this true, Mom? * he asked unbelievably.
