Part 50 Plan is ready

I was so happy as I got a chance to play with Mithra again. I wanted it to be the last time because I didn't want to give another chance to Mithra like a dangerous and cruel woman. I wanted to clear my doubts before taking action.

I looked at Bose and asked,

"I want two answers from you"

"Yeah, tell me"

"What about Mithra's myrmidons? Where did they go? Or, are they still in the palace in the name of servants?"

Bose and Rahim smiled at each other.

"Bose finished their chapters," Rahim said.

"Finished means?" I asked even though I knew the meaning of FINISHED.

"They were four people who could do anything for Mithra. I finished two of them by hiring a swashbuckler,"

It was indeed shocking news to me because I didn't expect Bose to be a daring personality. I thought he was not so brave. Maybe, I misunderstood him by the previous story of Mithra throwing him out of the palace.

"I didn't expect this from you. I thought you were a naïve man" I didn't hesitate to put my thoughts in front of him.

"I was indeed a naïve man once. That's why she accused me and easily threw me out" Bose said furiously. I could see the fire still blazing in him.

"Another two?" I questioned.

"They are in jail"

"Jail? What did they do?"

"They did nothing to be arrested but proven guilty just like me"

I shrank my eyes.

"I didn't get you"

"I showed them wrong in the eyes of LAW. So, they had to be arrested"

"What did you do?"

"I put drugs in their car and informed the police... simple"

I was awestruck. Was Bose angry with Mithra to this extent?

"Didn't Mithra try to release them?"

"How did she do that? Won't it ruin the Royal reputation? She would have done that if she was not answerable to Shashi. She didn't want him to doubt her. So, she created a scene as if she was totally disappointed with them for having drugs and abandoned them"

"Are you that furious with her?" I asked straight to his face.

"Why won't I? She insulted me... she made Shashi question my loyalty. She said I misbehaved with her. She and her face...! ( He gritted his teeth)I don't know how she and Garimaji are sisters...! How different they are...! I won't leave her easily. I'm waiting for a chance to demolish her for long but she is so foxy. She tried many times to kill me. That's why I'm not staying in one place and roaming like a wanderer"

"If you could make her myrmidon's condition miserable, why could not you do anything to her?"

"To smack her down, we have to know her MOVES. We have to be in touch with the Palace or someone from the palace. We are strictly prohibited to do that. She cut off all my ties with the palace. She changed the servant crew. They obey only to her..."

"They obey to Akash too..."

"They pretend but would be loyal to Mithra only"

"Mmm"

"Don't be in the hope of any servant. It must be another way to know your moves. Be careful with them" Bose warned me and I became thoughtful.

"What's your next question?"

"Why Mithra didn't have kids? Didn't she have or she is unable to have?" I asked.

"She wanted to... she WAS able to... but it didn't happen"

"Why?"

"I didn't let it happen"

"What do you mean?" I frowned.

"I have weakened her womb"

"Whaaaat? Why? How?"

"To save Khushi and Akash..."

"Mind you tell me in brief?"

"She killed Garimaji because of her desire for wealth. If she had a child, she would not have let Akash and Khushi get the share in the property. She would have definitely killed them. That's why I made it through a doctor who was her friend"

"But, how did you do that through her friend? How did she agree to it?"

"Fear of losing her life is the reason. I threatened her, taking her kids into my custody. So, she should have to do it without thinking about her friendship..."

"Didn't Mithra get doubt?"

"She got... She tried in many fertility hospitals but nothing worked because her womb had become infertile already. What could she seed in the wasteland?" Bose said with a wild smirk on his face.

I was shaken. I didn't expect Akash and Khushi would have such an invisible and powerful support. Though what Bose did was not appreciable I didn't feel bad for Mithra. She was a woman who didn't deserve sympathy.

"If she had kids, you would not have been husband to Khushi now. So, don't feel bad" Bose smiled.

He was right. What if Mithra had done something to Khushi and Akash? No doubt, she was capable of doing such cheap things.

"You can call me anytime. I will be there for you" Bose said.

"thanks... very soon, I will evict Mithra from the palace," I said.

"Be careful, she will turn any table in her favor. Take any step cautiously. If you are proven wrong once, any of your actions after that will be not justified. Don't forget that" Bose warned me.

He was not wrong. Mithra would make my failure a trump card.

"I will be careful. Thank you..."

"I'm leaving. Call me if you want anything" Bose said.

I nodded ok. He left.

"I'm also leaving," I said.

"Please take care of Khushi baby. Poor girl has no one for herself..." Rahim pleaded.

"I'm here for her. Don't worry"

"Thanks" Rahim hugged me.

I tapped his back softly and took his leave.

I started my car and headed towards the Mini Palace, recalling my conversation with Bose and Rahim. How cruel Mrs. Gupta was...! Poor Khushi's mother brought her sister to the palace unaware of her true color. She must be a nice woman. That was why she thought Mithra would also be a nice woman like her. This was how goodhearted people face failure. They thought everyone would be like them with a good heart but they were unsuccessful in thinking that not everyone was the same.

I had a lot of work in the office. Yet, I wanted to go home to convey the message of meeting Rahim and Bose to Khushi. She would be curiously waiting to know what happened. Suddenly, a thought hit my mind. I remembered what Bose said. He asked me to be careful about the servants of the palace. He might be right. Someone from Mini Palace would be a spy of Mithra. I didn't want to make any mistake in Bose and Rahim's matter. If Mithra got to know about their partnership with me, her actions would be wild. She would act fast and aggressively. Maybe, she would try to remove them from her path. I didn't want to give her a chance. So, I stopped the car and called Khushi. She attended it.

"Haan, Arnav...?"

"Khushi, call Lavanya and ask her to take you to the Mini Palace"

"Yeah, I want to take my car from RM..."

"Tell the same reason to Lavanya"

"Ok... will you come to RM?"

"No, you come to AR"

"What will I tell them?"

"Tell them, you are going to meet your friend"

"Ok, I'm coming..."

She disconnected the call.

I went back to AR and waited for Khushi. After two hours, Khushi reached AR. I smiled at her, standing up from my seat. She rushed to me and hugged me.

"What happened?"

"I thought about the consequence"

"What consequence?"

"We stopped talking..."

I cut her and said,

"YOU stopped talking to me"

"Mmm... I stopped talking to you. I thought how my life would be without you"

"I said don't think about that. It will never happen. Understand that..."

"But, Arnav Mithra is a dangerous woman"

"Khushi, your Bose uncle is better than you in trusting me I suppose"

"Bose uncle? Did you meet him?" She asked unbelievably.

"I met Bose and Rahim today"

"Really?"

"Yeah..."

"How are they? Where are they? How did you meet them?"

"Khushi, you have no idea what happened behind your back..."

"What do you mean?"

"One side, Mithra was doing all the possible things to torture you. On the other side, Bose was doing the same to Mithra"

"I didn't get you"

"You have no idea what your Bose uncle did for your betterment"

I recited everything to Khushi. She was stunned.

"Is it all true?" Khushi could not believe it.

I smiled.

"He is that furious... if he gets a chance to kill Mithra, he won't do it right away but slowly, slowly, admiring her pain. I saw madness in his eyes when he talked about Mithra"

"I can't believe she seduced my father"

"There is nothing to be wondered... she is such a woman only...!"

"My father?"

"Mmm... she should have used his intoxicant state I suppose"

"I thought my father loved my mother truly. I didn't expect this from him"

"You know what... the phone number is Mithra's old number"

"Is it?"

"Yes... how don't you know that?"

"I was so reluctant towards her. You know that. I didn't even have her number but only my father's"

"Would Akash have her number?"

"He had..."

"OK, listen to me carefully. Last time, I gave a SOLO performance to reveal Mithra but this time, your performance is also needed. If you make a simple mistake, it will ruin our plan"

"What do you want me to do?"

"Will tell you"

"When will we perform the plan?"

"If we get a CALL again"

"Ok"

Arnav told her what she should do.

"Done"
