Part 45 Rohan and NK

Rohan was inquiring about Rana and his statements. He started his inquiry from the college where Rana studied. No need to say Riya was the main part of the investigation. Almost all Rana's statements matched with Riya's statements. Rohan got to know about a few more friends of Sheetal and Rana. Those were also told him the same. At last, Rohan concluded that Rana was not lying. Whatever he told Arnav about Sheetal was purely true.

But... There is something... Something that's not matching with Arnav's accident scenario. Though Rana wanted to kill Arnav it's not the complete scenario of the accident. It seems it was a different track. Rana should have planned it by himself without knowing about the life threat that was chasing Arnav.

It was true that a few Royal people planned to remove Arnav from their path. They should have got alerted and also would have been happy about Arnav's accident. They would have been relaxed after Arnav's accident, thinking that he died. But, after Arnav's come back, they must have become cautious because they knew Arnav won't be quiet until finding out the truth. But they don't know Arnav started the process of finding the culprit a long ago.

Now, they are planning to come out. This it's the right time to catch them red-handed. But, Rohan can't let Arnav know about it... Not until it gets confirmed who is behind that.

Rohan looked at NK who was thinking about something very deep.

"What are you thinking NK?"

"Trying to find out the PIN of the victim's mobile phone"

"Do you think you can do that from the clue she had given?"

"She had given the clue it's because she wanted someone to find it out... Why not we try?"

"She had drawn a few flowers in her diary and mentioned it's her mobile's pin. I'm fed up thinking about it..."

"It's because you are tensed about Arnav Bhai's accident case. You would have found it with your experience if you had thought with a peaceful mind"

"Yes... It's embarrassing because it's about ASR..."

NK looked at the flowers drawn by the victim in the diary.

"Wait...." NK shouted.

Taking a pen, he wrote the four-digit number. At first, Rohan frowned. Next second his face brightened.

"Brilliant..." He hugged NK happily.

"Is my guess right?" NK asked.

"Of course... The count of the petals in the flowers is the numbers."

"Ask the victim's brother to check it," NK said.

Rohan nodded ok and dialed a person related to the case.

"Bring your sister's phone"

"But it's locked. We don't know the PIN"

"We will try to open it"

"How?"

"You just bring it" Rohan disconnected the call.

"You could have asked him to check it there itself," NK asked.

"No... we can't believe anyone regarding. Let him come here"

"Mmm"

"We have important work tonight, NK"

"Ok... Are we going somewhere?"

"Yes... We have to... It won't be a simple task. We should be cautious. We may get caught if we are careless and everything will get spoilt."

"Understood... it seems it's a serious one..."

"Hundred percent"

"May I know what it's about?"

"It's about ASR's accident. We are going to follow a few persons who I'm suspecting"

"But how can we follow a few people at a time?"

"It's because they are going to meet at the same place"

"At the same place? But how? Are they related to each other?"

"They are not related to each other but they are related to ASR's accident"

"Oh... Are they going to get together?"

"Yes... The organizers of the Nainital meeting have been arranged a meeting tonight... I'm sure we will surely get a few useful information in that meeting"

"I'm ready..." NK said.

Rohan nodded ok.

RM

Raizada mansion was getting ready to welcome its new Bahu. Raizadas was in full swing in marriage preparation. Anjali had listed out the work and separated it to everyone as there is not even a week for the wedding. Khushi's wedding Lehanga was ready. Of course, it was Arnav's responsibility. So, it would not have been delayed to get ready...!

Arnav was on the bed not getting sleep. He looked at the calendar. It's very tough to push days. Damn... it's not going fast. That's when he received a WhatsApp message. He smiled, as the message was from Khushi and it was a photo message. He opened the message and frowned. He saw a gold chain and a gold bracelet in the pic. He received the next message.

"Those are for you"

Arnav rolled his eyes. He dialed her number. Khushi attended the call as she knew he would call her. Before he asked anything,

"Do you like it?" asked Khushi.

"What's all this Khushi?"

"For the Groom"

"Is it necessary?"

"Your father-in-law feels it's necessary"

"You would have stopped him... why does he spare this burden?"

"This is not a burden"

"Don't be silly Khushi"

"Ok, call your father-in-law and tell him you don't want them"

"Of course, I will do..."

Khushi sighed.

"This is for their satisfaction..." she said wearily.

"It's all about our thinking, Khushi"

"Ok, then think it's for their satisfaction"

"Do you want them to spend money on this?"

"I'm happy because my parents are doing something for my husband"

Arnav rolled his eyes smiling.

"They are giving your hand to me... that's the biggest thing they can do for me..."

"Ok... I will ask them not to do anything for you." She said in a low tone.

"We should not disturb them, Khushi"

"Ok... as you say... they are poor parents who wants to do something for their son-in-law that makes them happy. Why should we consider their happiness? Leave it..."

Arnav rolled his eyes.

"Try to understand Khushi. I didn't mean it..."

"They would mean it, Arnavji. What harm if they do something? They already bought it. Do you want them to return it?"

"Ok... do what you want but I don't like to wear them"

"Why? You have to..."

"Khushi, I don't wear such things"

"I too never have worn MANGAL SUTRA but I'm going to wear it after our marriage. Likewise, you too wear the chain and bracelet"

"I won't force you to wear it if you don't like to wear it"

"Oh, really?"

"It's not a big deal, Khushi. In fact, I don't believe in such things"

"This is too much, Arnavji..."

"Khushi, Mangal Sutra is just a chain. It can't be a medium in between a husband and a wife. The relationship is all about love and trust"

"Arnavji, I think we should not discuss this"

"Why?"

"Because I won't change my mind and you won't change yours. Then what's the use of talking about it?"

"Oh, really? Will you leave all the topics without discussing if I have a conflict with you?"

"I will talk if needed... I won't talk if it makes difference between us"

"Let's see..."

"Of course, you will... now go to sleep."

"Why?"

"You have to go to the office tomorrow... unlike me"

"Yeah... enjoy as much as you want... after our marriage, you can't be taking a rest"

"I know... I will join AR again"

"I'm not talking about joining AR," Arnav said in a husky tone. His tone said about what he was talking about. That made Khushi uncomfortable.

"Arnavji..."

Cutting her,

"Is aunty calling you?" he asked teasingly.

Khushi got stuck.

"It's not even a week for our marriage... I will see how you are going to escape from me after our marriage" he said whispering.

Khushi bit her lip with reddened cheeks.

"Go to sleep... get used to my TOUCH from today onwards"

"To....day...on...wards...?"

"I will surely come to your dreams... and will touch you"

Khushi closed her eyes.

"I... cut the call," she said.

Arnav was silent.

"I said... I cut the call" she said again.

"Mmmm," said in the GO AHEAD meaning.

"Ar...navji..."

"Mmm?"

"I..."

"Good night" he disconnected the call smiling.

Khushi fell on the pillow burying her face in it blushing like hell.

At the same time, Rohan and NK started towards their destination.
