Chapter 19: Plan Successful

The spatula stopped in front of Swara, and she glanced at Shekhar who was fuming in pain.

"What is going on?"

Shekhar huffed as he tilted the back of his hand to show Swara his red rash, "I burnt my hand!"

"Are you sure you didn't just put make up on to make it seem like a burn?" Kavita taunted and Shekhar grit his teeth, clenching his other fist.

"Finding make up in the kitchen? I guess you never learnt what you have in the kitchen." Shekhar cussed as he glared at Kavita.

"Why were you in the kitchen anyways?" Swara questioned, narrowing her eyebrows as she blinked at Shekhar.

Shekhar stayed quiet as he merely rolled his eyes.

"To see if he's useful or not. . ." Sheesh trialled off and Swara glanced at him. "Hmm?"

"Like you said, he can't be laying around here for free, so he decided to cook. . . But looks like he's not even good at that." Sheesh answered Swara interpreting what he meant as he taunted Shekhar.

"Mind your tone! You bloody fraud! You're after Swara for her money. . ." Shekhar shouted as he pointed his finger at Sheesh, "this house is mine! I don't see why I need to leave. If someone's useless in this house then it's you, you cheap fraudster." Shekhar added, spitting his anger out on Sheesh.

"Mind your tongue Mr Gadodia, that's my future husband you're talking to!" Swara exclaimed, defending Sheesh and surprising everyone including Shekhar.

"Future h. . . Husband?"

"Yes, my future husband and you have no rights to degrade him like this!"

Shekhar exhaled a breath of shock, unable to communicate. He stuttered and pointed at Sheesh, "h. . . Him?"

"Right Mr Gadodia. . ." Sheesh trialled off, ready to trigger Shekhar "Me and Swara are going to get married soon. Which will make me Gadodia Empires. . ." Sheesh purposely left the hint for Shekhar with a sly smirk curving over his lips "son-in-law."

"Swara, you can't do this. You can't marry this gold-digger."

"Who are you to decide?"

"I'm. . ." Shekhar stopped, releasing a huff. "The sole owner of Gadodia Empire and I do not give you right to distribute MY property with this. . ." He added as he passed Sheesh a dirty stare.

"You've lost that, it's mine now. So all you need to do is get lost." Swara rudely replied and Shekhar shook his head.

"I'm not leaving." He made his decision clear in a stern tone, storming away.

After he successfully left, Sahil shook his head "what type of chipku is he. He's not even leaving."

"I don't want him to leave." Swara faces Sahil as she blinks at him.

"You don't?" Sahil asked as he looked at her and she shook her head, "he needs to stay here."

"So we need to make him feel like he's leaving?" Sanskaar asked and Swara nodded her head, "the more enraged he stays the better it is for us." Swara replied and walked away from the hall while Sheesh, Sahil and Sanskaar nod their head, thinking about what's going on in her mind.

"Don't pressure your tiny tube-light of a brain. You won't understand her." Kavita taunted and headed in a direction, away from them.

As she walked, her phone buzzed and she glanced down at it. 'Are you free to meet?' She flapped her eyes and bit the lower end of her lip, deciding what to say.

*

Shekhar was rubbing ointment on his hand while sat on his bed. He was enraged with the way he was being treated in his own house.

"I need to do something about Swara, her wings have come out too far. She needs to be taught a lesson." Shekhar utters to himself calming his anger, his phone that was laying on the side began buzzing and he glanced to the side and instantly answered the call after reading the caller ID.

"Yes Jayant?" Shekhar sighed as he blew on his hand while speaking to Jayant. "Yes. He's a gold-digger, he's with her for her money."

Shekhar's eyebrows creased and he stared into space, giving Jayant his full attention as he held his phone tighter.

"What?" After a long pause, Shekhar's eyes lit up and he smirked. "Yes, I will help you. I will do this but in return, I only want my property, I don't care what you do with Swara."

He scoffed, now transforming to a delightful mood. It was as if he heard a good news that could bring everyone peace.

"No I'm not busy, whatever you need to do, do it NOW." Shekhar was eager, he wanted the property back and for that he's willing to exceed any extents.

"Okay, I'll meet you later on today." Shekhar chuckled and disconnected the call with a wide grin.

He threw his phone on the bed, feeling relaxed and cool, he felt at peace and couldn't hide the smile from his lips. He laid on his back, forgetting the pain he was experiencing few minutes ago.

"Lag jaa gale. . . Ke phir yeh. . ." He awfully sang in an jovial tone. "Haseen raat ho na ho!"
He ended up chuckling afterwards, running the flow of the song.

"Shayad phir iss janam mein. . ." His smile slowly faded as he sat up, glancing around the room "mulakat ho na ho." He stood up, knowing the voice wasn't of Nayonika and walked forward.

All of a sudden, the lights of his room diffuse and he stopped, creasing his forehead. "What's happening?"

The windows of his room start to open and shut, he headed towards the windows and held onto them. "This trick won't work on me! I won't leave this house." He yelled as loud as he could, staring out of the window, only to find the corridor dark.

"Humko mili hai yeh aaj yeh ghariyan naseeb se. . ." A female voice sang and Shekhar rolled his eyes, "jee bhar ke dekh lije humko kareeb se!" This time the tone wasn't sweet, it was more of a deadly frightening tone. Shekhar flapped his eyes, only to see a figure in a white and red saree standing in front of him with blood dripping down from her head which covering her face.

He was startled and moved back, falling onto the floor. He panicked as her fierce round eyes with black kohl filled in them staring at him.

"Wh. . . What the hell!" He couldn't breath properly, placing his hand on his chest as he felt his heart throbbing. "You know I have a weak heart!" He added another exclaim, closing his eyes while exhaling.

His condition was as if he was drowning and shouting for help, words weren't easily coming out of his mouth and his heart wasn't willing to witness such a spooky view.

"Stop this nonsense!" He managed to scream opening his eyes, to his surprise the figure was gone and a sigh left his mouth.

"I'm going to kill them, how dare they try to scare me out of here." He mumbled to himself and helped himself up, as he walked forward towards the door, he felt a presence behind him and turned, confused to see a figure with long hair facing the wardrobe.

"Who. . ." He stopped, gritting his teeth as he approached it. "Swara, stop this nonsense." He angrily uttered and held the figure by the arm, turning her around.

"You killed me Shekhar." The words slipped out of her mouth and Shekhar gasped, running backwards.

"Who are. . . You?"

"Who do you think I am?"

He swallowed his spit and turned, before he could run outside, the doors shut and he stopped with a jerk, turning back around, seeing the figures hands in mid-air.

"I tolerated your betrayal Shekhar, but Swara. . . Why do you need to make her suffer? Why are you killing my daughter's soul?" Her voice sounded angry as she screamed and Shekhar's heart began palpating.

The glass was thrown in from the window and breaks on the floor. Shekhar's heart skipped a beat while looking down at it.

"Sh. . . Sharmishta?" He uttered and slowly moved his gazes back at the figure, shocked to see her disappeared.

"I could never rest, the moment you began torturing Swara!" He turned his head to the side, seeing her walk closer to him.

"I. . . What is this nonsense? H. . . How can you. . . Be Sharmishta? She. . . Died."

"You killed me."

"I didn't. . . You slipped."

She laughed, sounding psychotic "I slipped?"

"Yes, I merely pushed your hand away from me but you lost your balance and fell back. It's not my fault." He made clear as he swallowed his spit.

"You're the reason why I lost my life."

"You slipped! I. . . I only pushed you away from me. You ran after me on the stairs."

She scoffed, "why are you torturing my daughter now?"

"I. . ." He didn't have a response, he was too shocked and startled to see a woman like Sharmishta approach him in the most frightening way.

"S. . . Stay away from me."

Nayonika opened the doors, entering the room and the lights turn on. Shekhar turns his face to the side. "Nayonika." He sighed a relief and walked towards her. "See this. . ."

Nayonika watched the figure hide under the bed and glanced at Shekhar, who turned around. "What?" Nayonika confusingly asked and Shekhar looked on, moving his head in all the corners of the room.

"Why were you shouting?"

"I. . . She was here."

"Who was here?"

"Sharmishta."

"Huh?"

"She was haunting me right now. . ."

"Shekhar, are you in your senses?" Nayonika questioned and stood in front of Shekhar, making sure he had his back towards the door.

She watched Sahil and Sheesh silently cut the wires that were attached to the door handles, and nod at Nayonika.

"She was here, she was covered in blood and looked so scary."

"Shekhar she's dead." Nayonika reminded and blinked at Shekhar. "How can a dead person appear out of nowhere?"

"But. . ." He stopped, giving it a thought. "They set me up!" He exclaimed as he realised.

"I'm sure this was Swara's plan." He angrily added and started moving around the room to find that ghost.

"Shekhar what are you saying?"

"They sent this ghost to scare me so I could admit I killed Sharmishta." He opened the bathroom door and scanned his eyes around.

"But she slipped. . ."

"I know, but the truth was that I pushed her away from me which is why she fell."

Shekhar's eyes land on the Saree that was sticking from under the bed and rushed there, lifting the cover to find the figure hiding.

"Come out now."

Nayonika sighed, looking outside the room to see Swara, who nods at her.

"Who is that?" Nayonika asked as she faced Shekhar and the figure, who was timidly coming out from under the bed.

The figure began crying as she rushed towards Nayonika "Did please save me."

Shekhar confusingly looked at the figure approach Nayonika.

"Just go." Nayonika uttered and the woman ran out.

"Why did you let her go?"

Nayonika stared at Shekhar for few seconds before exiting the room.

"Nayonika, get back here! You can't leave without answering me!"

He followed Nayonika out, "Nayonika!"

*

Outside the Gadodia Mansion, the figure was in front of Swara, Sanskaar, Sheesh, Sahil and Sameer.

"Beta, I can't do this anymore. . ."

Swara nods at her, "thank you so much for agreeing and doing it. We won't ask you to do it again."

The woman passed her the recorder and Swara smiled hopefully while holding it.

"Thank you so much for doing this for us Aunty." Sanskaar spoke, appreciating the woman and she smiled.

"May god bless all of you and punish a man like him." She uttered and they nodded, she walked out of the gate.

"Now what?" Sameer asked as he faced Swara. "Now we expose him." Swara confidently uttered as she looked up at Sameer.

Sameer shakes his head, "tell me what I need to do."

"I can't believe this worked." Sheesh uttered in surprise and Sahil looked around, "where's Kavita? She should've been here to see her choice of woman successfully making Shekhar spill his beans."

Swara, Sameer, Sanskaar and Sheesh glance around, not spotting Kavita. It was Kavita who found the woman for this job.

While walking towards the exit of her house, her eyes fell on her maid.

"Dhara."

"Yes beta."

Kavita examined Dhara and thought about it. "Will you do something for me?"

"I'll do anything for you Beta."

Kavita smiled at Dhara, taking her to a corner while telling her the plan. Dhara gasped as she shook her head.

"No beta, what if I mess it up?"

"Please Dhara, please help us one time. Please."

"But."

"Dhara please, we really need this plan to work otherwise my friend will stay unhappy forever."

Dhara nodded, agreeing to do the job and Kavita pulled her into a hug. "Thank you so much!"

"I can't believe Mom helped." Sameer uttered in surprise as he lowered his gazes.

They all recall the way Nayonika decided to help them in this.

"This is the plan." Swara uttered as she told Sahil, Sheesh, Sanskaar and Sameer the plan in her room.

"Okay, so this is going to be easy." Sheesh confidently uttered and Swara gave him a look.

"How?" Sahil questioned as he faced Sheesh "easy my foot, this will be so difficult. We don't have the horror affects, how will we bring the feel?"

"Simple, cut the light and flick the doors and windows to have him shook." Sheesh replied, adding more to their plan.

"Here she is, Dhara." Kavita uttered as she brought Dhara into Swara's room secretly, closing the door from behind her.

"Hi." Everyone greeted a nervous Dhara and she merely curled a nervous smile.

A knock on the door grabbed their attention, and they look on. Kavita slowly opened the door and watched Nayonika barge inside.

"If you want him to admit, you need to do something stronger."

"Hmm?"

"He has a weak heart, he cannot tolerate blood. Cover her face with blood to hide her original face." Nayonika revealed and turned around to head out.

"Why are you telling us this?" Swara asked, stopping her and Nayonika smiled, "right, why am I?" She answered with a question and walked out of the room.

Shekhar stormed out and fiercely stared at Swara, Sameer, Sheesh, Sahil and Sanskaar, absolutely boiled in anger, if it was up to him, he could literally throw all of them in a pit of fire to burn and tear apart. He had enough, and wasn't willing to stay quiet any longer, they had messed with his inner self, now he's willing to make them regret it under any cost.

"This is it, I'm not tolerating any bullshit anymore. So this is the reality, all of them are in this together to bring me down. . . I will burn all of them!" He exclaimed under his breath, clenching his fists, feeling a sense of burn inside his heart.

Sanskaar glanced at Swara, relieved to see her happy and curls a small smile over her lips, he felt a relief seeing her plan become a success, and this moment know he knew he just wants to see her happy and for that he is willing to take any risks, even if it means for him to loose his life.

**

Kavita put her cold hands inside her furry pink pocket as she stopped in front of a figure who had his back facing her. "Why did you call me here?"

"I'm glad you came." He replied and turned around, facing her with a smirk over his face.

Kavita blinked at his face, rolling her eyes while he approached her. "Tell me, how have you been?"

"Shake it off Jayant. Tell me, what do you want?" Kavita questioned in a stern serious tone, staring at him again and he chuckled, taking a sip from his wine glass.

To Be Continued. . .

Up Next - Swara and Sheesh to get kidnapped. . . Sanskaar, Sahil, Sameer, Nayonika worried. . . Shekhar meets Jayant to see his plan be a success. . .
