Part 28 Khushi is in AR

Arnav told about Anjali and Shyam.

*Di loved him very much. At that time, Jeejaji was not so firm in his job. He is a lawyer. Nani and Mami were not fine with the marriage. It was me who supported Di's decision of marrying Jeejaji. She was so happy with Jeejaji as she loves him very much. That time, Sheetal was staying in the Hostel. After six months, jeejaji wanted to go from RM as Sheetal was about to finish her graduation. As she has no one, other than Jeejaji, we asked Jeejaji to bring her to RM. She came to RM, finishing her graduation. That's when the problem started. She started roaming behind me. At first, I thought she is doing that causally. But, as time passed, I felt irritated as she started coming to my room often. I lost my privacy because of her presence. I almost stopped coming home earlier. Still, she waited for me with many excuses, like, opening the door, serving me dinner. Those made me annoyed. One day, I told her that I have no feelings for her but she was not ready to listen to me. She started moving openly after my denial. Jeejaji was totally fine with that as he liked me and our family very much. My family members started nagging me, especially Di. I almost stopped visiting RM and stayed in AR. That's when they began to torture Di. They tried to use Di to bring me back to RM. Jeejaji stopped talking to her which disappointed her like anything. Even we were dissatisfied with Jeejaji. They thought they can get me into the track if I see Di's treas. But that's what made me more adamant. I decided not to talk to them. That's when the conference was arranged. Aman alerted me to be cautious. But I wanted to leave Delhi for a few days and wanted to be peaceful. So, I came to Nainital even after knowing the danger around me* Arnav stopped reciting everything to Khushi.

*Someone, who knows about the conference should have done that* Khushi said.

*I have doubt on the conference organizer crew* Arnav said.

Khushi became thoughtful.

*What are you thinking? * Arnav asked.

*I don't think the crew would have been involved*

*Why?*

*Don't they know you will suspect them if they try something like that?*

Arnav looked at her considerately.

*It doesn't mean we should not doubt them... but they should not be at the TOP of the list. There is someone who gets direct profit from your downfall... maybe, from your...* she stopped hesitating to say.

*Death...?*

She nodded yes.

*My detective is tracking everyone related to me and AR but nothing found. I asked him to bring the person who spilled the brake oil on the road on someone's command*

*Who is that? *

*Laalan who resides in Steep Hill*

*That is the village next to ours*

*Yes...*

*How do you know about him? *

*NK found*

*Really?* she asked, getting amazed.

*Yeah... he investigated* Arnav said smilingly.

*By the way, where is he?* Khushi asked.

*He is coming with Akash as Akash liked NK very much*

*Really?*

*Yeah... NK is a nice guy after all*

*What job are you going to assign him? *

*I will be teaching him something... let's see what he learns*

*He is very sharp, Arnavji. Except studies, he learns everything quickly* Khushi laughed.

*Ok, let me observe him*

Khushi nodded ok. They reached AR. Khushi got respect from the AR staff as she entered the office with their BOSS.

Aman rushed towards them with a smile.

*Welcome back, ASR... welcome, Khushi* Aman smiled.

*Let me show her cabin* Arnav said.

*Won't she be in your cabin? * Aman asked teasingly.

Arnav looked at Khushi who was embarrassed.

*After marriage we will arrange a table for her in my cabin* Arnav said with a lopsided smile.

*Only, table? * Aman asked.

*Shut up and go... don't embarrass her*

*Ok, sir... you can go with him, Madam... * Aman said.

*Let's go Khushi*

Khushi nodded ok and walked with him.

They came to the cabin which was next to Aman's cabin.

*This is your cabin. This is just for a formality. You will be in my cabin most of the time as I'm the one who is going to train you*

*Thank you*

*My pleasure, madam* Arnav said.

*Stop it, Arnavji* she pouted.

*All the best* Arnav went to his cabin with a smile.

When Arnav came to his cabin, Akash rushed in without his permission and hugged Arnav happily. Aman who followed him stood smilingly.

*How many days, Bhai...! This cabin looked vacuum without you* Akash said emotionally.

*Relax, yaar...*

*I will be, Bhai. You are here...* he said excitedly.

Arnav smiled pleasantly.

*Bhai, what about NK? Do you have any plans for him? *

*AS of now, no...*

*Shall I teach him something Bhai? *

Arnav thought deeply.

*What will you teach him? *

*Computer...*

*Ok, do it...*

Akash nodded ok and left his cabin.

Aman smiled at Arnav and they shared a hug.

*Damn you, ASR... you made your brother cry... Akash cried many times, sitting in your cabin, you know* Aman said.

*Is it? *

*Yeah... he was broken down like hell. He denied when I asked him to take over AR's responsibility*

*When did you ask him?*

*After coming from Nainital*

*What the...* he laughed.

*I wanted to know whether he is really sad or pretending*

Arnav raised his brows.

*Of course, ASR... he is the one who is next to you... then obviously Aman would doubt him. So, I asked him to take charge of the CEO post of AR* Aman said.

*What did he say? *

*He almost yelled at me like manioc. He truly loves you, ASR*

Arnav smiled.

*Yes, a few deals are still waiting for your signature. He denied singing in it*

*Really? *

*Yup... and I tracked his voice too... I mean, voice tracking...but nothing is found*

*Are you crazy? *

*Of course, ASR... anyone can do anything for money and fame you know... after your accident, I'm not ready to trust anyone. I brought everyone under my radar*

*That's great... anything else? *

*Nothing*

Arnav nodded ok and Aman left his cabin.

In the meanwhile,

Payal and her father reached a Shopping mall. Payal selected two Diamond jewelry set for her mother.

* These two are good. Select one from them* She said.

*You too take something* Bolinath said.

*No, Dad... I already have enough jewelry sets*

Bolinath rolled his eyes. He took both the sets for Payal's mother and also for Payal. He asked the shopkeeper the bill.

Paying the bill, they came out of the shop. Payal got stuck whereas Bolinath smiled, seeing Sheetal in front of them.

*Hello uncle, how are you? * she asked Bolinath.

*Dad, we have to go* Payal hurried.

*Yeah... (He looked at Sheetal) I'm fine, beta. We just came from RM, inviting Raizadas for my wife's birthday party*

*Oh, I see. Am I not invited...? * Sheetal asked.

*Dad, we are getting late* Payal said.

*Wait Payal... Shyam's sister is here...*

*I think Payal doesn't want you to invite me* Sheetal said.

*No no, not like that... you are invited to the party*

*Thank you, uncle. Will meet you and aunty at the party* Sheetal left the place with a smirk, leaving horrified Payal.

To be continued...

Party plan

Payal stood with tension, feeling helpless. She didn't know what to do. Sheetal's sudden entry was unexpected. Don't know what will she do.

*What have you done, Dad?* she said disappointed.

*What? What did I do?* Bolinath asked.

*Why did you invite Sheetal to the party? *
