Recap: Krish and Naina confirm Roshni doesn't have her laptop. Varun gives the evidence to Keshav

******************

Keshav was screamed in anger and gritting his teeth in frustration he smashed the things on the table. Varun pulled Keshav to sit on the couch but he was still mad.

Varun: That was fake boss.

Keshav: I know damn it, I know its fake. Explain

Varun: Roshni has recorded her intimate moments with Krish with or without his knowledge. Most of the videos has been recorded in an angle that has captured only your brother's face and few has both their face captured.

First video she shared with your brother was a video in which only his face was visible. Later when you were in Paris, she shared a video in which she has morphed her face with madam's face. Krish has called her immediately after he received the video. 

Keshav: She blackmailed him with those videos.

Varun: Yes, there were no calls exchanged between them except for few text messages in which she has given orders to take her back with him to your home.

Keshav picked the mobile from the floor and dailed Krish's number who was shocked to see his brother calling him so he answered immediately.

Krish: Bro..

Keshav: I have messaged you an address. I want you in that address immediately, bring your wife and let our family not know about this. Make some excuse.

Krish: What happened bro ? Is everything ok ?

Keshav: I want you to meet me in less than an hour. 

Keshav cut the call and dialed the number of the local Inspector and called him to meet him unofficially at his home.

Varun: What are you up to now ? There is a lot more you need to know.

Keshav: I will know everything but I need Krish to be here and he will answer me today before I get to know anything further.

Krish entered the kitchen and saw Naina and Myra were preparing dinner.

Krish: Naina, I booked a table for us to have dinner. Come get ready.

Naina: But dinner is done at home Krish.

Krish: Let it be, we shall go out. Come please.

Naina looked at Myra and left with Krish to their room.

Naina: What is with you now ?

Krish: Bro called me and wanted us to meet him immediately without anyone in home knowing about it. He sounded frustrated and looks something bad happened. Get ready and I will get the car out.

Naina quickly changed into a salwar and got in the passenger seat. Krish was very nervous and reached the address but was stopped by the security. Krish gave his details and the security let Keshav know about his arrival. On Keshav's order the security let Krish and Naina inside. 

Varun opened the door and lead them to the study where Keshav was pacing with his hands in pocket. On seeing Krish, Keshav was raging and looked at Varun who took the cue and left the room and locked the door.

Keshav sauntered to Krish and slapped him hard that Naina held Krish from falling down.

Naina: Are you insane ? Why did you beat him now ?

Keshav: Not your turn yet so wait until I m done with him. 

Keshav pointed his forefinger at Krish and gstured to the couch to be seated and holding his cheek Krish got seated. Keshav sat on the teapoy opposite to Krish.

Keshav: Why didn't you tell me that you were being blackmailed ?

Krish: Blackmail ?

Keshav: I asked you many times if there is something wrong happening in your life, I specifically asked you if that bitch was blackmailing you then why didn't you let me know about it ? That bitch had Myra involved in it, what if something bad happened to Myra ? How could you not tell me something that involves my wife and her dignity ?

Krish: That is fake one.

Keshav: I fucking know that is a fake one.

Krish: I was scared that she would leak that video so I followed her orders to save Myra. I didn't know how to save Myra and her life so I decided that it would be best if I leave the home so I informed everyone that I m getting settled in Mumbai but Roshni was not ready to leave home so the next option was Myra and you to leave the home but that was not possible. I thought of many ways and finally decided that if I became the bad guy then you will leave home with Myra so..

Keshav held his collar gritting his teeth.

Keshav: So you faked misbehaving with my Myra ? Do you know the pain and the scar you left in her heart by that stunt ? You should have come to me and I would have handled it. Even illiterate people are better than you these days. They know how to handle blackmail and harrassment threats. I have always been in support of you the whole life yet what did you give me in return ? 

Naina: He only wanted to save you and Myra from that bitch's trap. 

Keshav: You are her friend, atleast you could have informed me about the blackmailing. I would do anything to take care of my Myra. She will be here in sometime and it will be your turn to answer. Let me remind you both, hear me cut and clear, Myra will not know about the morphed video. Just erase the details of that video and stick with the video of you and that bitch.

Keshav rose to the feet and kicked the teapoy. He rolled his sleeves and walked out of the study. Krish and Naina followed him to the living and saw Keshav ascending the stairs.

Naina: How did he know everything ? Could he be the person who took Roshni's laptop ?

Krish: I don't know.

Naina: Don't worry, everything will be fixed today. They will be angry because of your stupid and foolish stunt but otherwise our problems will be solved tonight.

Krish: Bro hardly loose his temper but when he does then it is really hard to face him. He is so scary and I couldn't face him.

Naina: He is your brother not some police officer doing an enquiry so relax and lets confess everything to them.

30 minutes later Keshav descended the stairs and smiled at Myra who entered with Varun behind her.

Myra: Ketchup, why did you send Varun to get me here ? I thought you will be coming home.

She stopped when she saw Krish and Naina seated in the living. Keshav held her hand and they got seated opposite to Krish and Naina.

Myra: Is everything ok ?

Keshav: The new couple in town will explain everything to you.

Varun and the other person entered the guest room leaving them to talk.

Krish: Myra, I m sorry for everything I did to you especially what I did that evening. I swear that was not my intention. Roshni was blackmailing me with a video of me and her. She was behind your back to throw you out of our home and bro's life. The only way I could save you and bro is doing something that will make you both leave the home so I did that. I knew you were very emotional and vulnerable that evening so anything I did would show me as the bad guy so I hugged you like I did any other time Myra knowing very well the outcome of it. I swear, I will never in my life treat you in a bad intention Myra. I will rather die. 

Myra: Why should I trust you ? Why did you not let me or Ketchup know that she was blackmailing you ? 

Krish: I was scared Myra, those videos would have destroyed our family completely. I did everything to get rid of her from my life. 

Myra: Whose fault is that ?

Krish: Only my fault. I was a fool to name the mere attraction as love but she was clear in everything she did. She never loved me and everything was her plan to get in our home. She used me as a pawn in her game and started showing her true colors immediately after the engagement. I tried and tried to stop her and get rid of her from my life but she had me locked in her trap with those videos. I agreed to marry her, pleaded her with money but she is not what we think of. She is very dangerous.

Naina helped me steal her mobile to erase all the videos but we found nothing in that. Later we travelled to Bangalore to steal her laptop but we couldn't find it. Today we met her friends to find if she had left her laptop with them but we got to know the laptop is not with any of them. Someone else has stolen the laptop.

Keshav: How are you sure that someone else has stolen it ?

Krish: I heard Roshni and her friend talking about that. She has not gone to Bangalore.

Keshav called Varun and he walked out of the guest room. Keshav's intercom rang and Varun answered it.

Varun: Inspector Anand is here.

Varun opened the door and let the Inspector inside.

Keshav: Hello Mr. Anand, thank you for showing up in the short notice. Please take your seat.

Anand: Good to see you too sir. 

Krish and Naina were shocked to see Keshav talking casually to the Inspector. Keshav introduced everyone to Anand and explained whatever Roshni has done.

Keshav: My assistant Varun has more details to share regarding this case.

Varun: I have hacked her mobile and laptop completely and apart from the videos I found some medical reports in her laptop and she had been talking to Dr.Viswanath atleast twice a month so I met him and got to know the reason but I think it would be better for you all to hear from Doctor himself so I have him with us here today.

Keshav: Let him Varun

Varun opened the guest room and lead the doctor and pulled a chair for him.

Keshav: How do you know Roshni and why was she calling you ?

Dr. Viswanath: I m a psychiatrist and she is my patient. She has been meeting for the last one year but before that she was being treated in Bangalore.

Ins Anand: What is she suffering  with ?

Dr. Viswanath: Narcissistic personality disorder.

Everyone was shocked to hear but Keshav was casual holding Myra's hands.

Keshav: I hope Mr. Anand must have heard about this. We have come across many cases like this. Doctor please carry on and explain about it to everyone.

Dr. Viswanath: Its a mental health condition in which a person believes they are better than everyone else. People with NPD have a very exaggerated sense of their own importance. Symptoms will be like feeling special, or feeling like they are better than everyone else, fantasising about power, beauty, success or intelligence, exaggerating achievements, seeking attention and admiration from others believing that they are entitled to special treatment, believing that others are envious of them.

Myra: How long has she been with this disorder ?

Varun: I spoke to the doctor in Bangalore from who she has been treated. From his words looks like she has this problem ever since she was 12 but was not found. It was during her college days her parents had taken her to him for counselling because she was behaving weird after losing a competition with a girl whom she assumed as her rival.

Keshav: They knew about his ?

Varun: Yes boss, when our men were there to look for the laptop they found the tablets and medical records in her room. They gathered all the evidence.

Naina: You were trying to steal the laptop ?

Keshav: It is with us and the mobile you have doesn't have any evidence because Varun cleared it off everything.

Myra:  Doctor, what could have caused this problem ?

Dr. Viswanath: It may be from genes or early childhood experiences and psychological factors.

Varun: I did that research and found her grandmother had symptoms similar to Roshni. This information was confirmed to the doctor by Roshni's mother.

Keshav: What stage is she now ?

Dr.Viswanath: She is now in the stage to exploit other people for personal gain or self-serving interests, but men and women may have opposing ways of doing so. For example, women with NPD will often use manipulative or to fulfill their needs, while men use force, intimidation, or physical aggression. Since Roshni hasn't been in treatment for some months now there high chances of her turning aggressive against the person whom they haved fixed as their target.

Myra clutched on to Keshav's arm and he squeezed her palms assuring her.

Keshav: Thank you so much doctor. Your time here is appreciable. I would request you to keep this conversation within this room. I will get back to you if your assistance is needed.

Dr. Viswanath: Sure sir. I will take my leave now.

Varun walked out the doctor and Keshav passed water to Myra. 

Keshav fished out his mobile and dialled Roshni's father on a speaker call.

Keshav: Uncle, have you reached home ?

Roshni's father: Yes Keshav, we arrived on time.

Keshav: Good, how is your daughter doing ? 

Roshni's father: She was upset but she will fine with time. I let her to sleep for sometime.

Keshav: I thought I could talk to her to know if I should find her a job.

Roshni's father: That is not necessary Keshav. Let her stay home for sometime. I will call you later.

Keshav cut the call and messaged Roshni's father mobile number to Varun to track it. Varun entered the study and returned few minutes later.

Varun: Her father is in Chennai. He is staying in a hotel near by the airport.

Keshav: Mr. Anand, can you send your men to keep an eye on them and send a team to find Roshni ?

Ins. Anand: Sure, I will do that.

Keshav: I need protection for my family. My brother's wedding reception is in few days and I don't want any trouble in that. If you need official order then I can send one to commissioner but I request you to handle this personally for me until she is caught.

Mr. Anand: I will take care. I hope your assistant can be in touch with me to share his reports and details about Roshni.

Keshav hummed and Inspector took his leave. Krish and Naina looked at each hesitating to question Keshav but still Krish shoot his question.

Krish: Bro, why did the Inspector call you sir and how would you be able to give official order to police ? How did you get her laptop ? Why is Varun calling you boss ?

Varun: Because he is my boss, the Additional director CBI.
