Part 13 (1)

Shyam – one name which is despised in this house but an integral part without any one liking. Arnav never understood how he became Anjali Di husband and why Kushi has supported the decision but he knows both the ladies don’t like Shyam much. Then why the hell did he enter this house is always a mystery to him. His father who doesn’t care much about the surroundings also didn’t like Shyam much but he agreed his daughter to get married to this person. What kind of father he was, he didn’t like this guy and it’s not like Anjali Di loved this guy why did he allow his daughter to get married that idiotic low life he never under stood?

He has to get answers. He is not known for having patience. He doesn’t like to be patient. He has been very patient with Kushi being distant, he was patient when he was sent to Harvard against his wishes, he was patient when he couldn’t understand why his parents never cared about him, he was patient when Raj bhaiyaa went to jail and no one told him anything, he was patient when Anjali di got married, he was patient when he has known his mother india is not his mother and he was patient when he got know about will but he can’t wait anymore. Kushi anyways is not in a position to tell him anything. She is constantly in and out of consciousness which only made him fear what’s the extent of fear she has in her about this leech named Shyam

Only one person can answer him and that is Anjali Di, if only she answers truly. When he approached all were sitting on dining table for lunch but no one was actually eating. This house was never a happy, joyous and alive but it was never this gloomy. It has witnessed many problems but he can’t take how things are going. He can’t sit quiet and see that the house is falling apart

Di bellowed Arnav

What Chote? Watch your tone Chote

Who exactly is Shyam?

Have you lost your mind? Shyam was my ex-husband who killed Garima aunty and Shashi uncle and whom I have given divorce and now he is in jail. Have you hit your head with something Chote?

I am not here to entertain your sarcastic remarks Di, I want to know why Shyam entered our lives? I want to know why the hell you married him and I wanted to know who exactly is this Shyam

Already Kushi is in such condition and you want to argue with me Chote? Can you calm down Chote - Akash suggested?

What is the thing you are hiding Di and bhai? Is it something like my real mother issue? I have every right to know Di, I want to know

Wait a minute Avni Raizada shouted – what is this real mother issue you all are talking? Your mother is very much present here and you all 3 are talking about me

Maa not everything revolves around you chided Akash taking situation in his control

Your 3 worlds might not revolve around me but then there are so many whose world revolves around me shouted Avni

Akash this is not the way to talk to your mother, Manohar made a snide remark

Enough, What the hell is going on? Arnav the enigmatic, rude, ruthless and shrewd business man side which only the business circles know shouted. He didn’t like how the discussion is turning around, here he wants to talk to his sister about Shyam and there his mother India with her spineless brother want to turn the situation in to something else

Nani and Dadi were asking Arnav to calm down and requesting Akash to take control of the situation

Akash and Payal were trying to make both the sides to calm down… this is not the time to shout at rooftop. It’s time to sit and discuss. Even they both didn’t understand this creature named Shyam. They have these unanswered questions revolving around Shyam and Raj bhaiyaa jail.

 Even NK who was sitting there and listening doesn’t know how to stop this discussion because he likes both Arnav and Anjali but he really wants to know all the secrets of Raizada mansion. Enough of this hide and seek and elders covering the secrets for youngsters. When he got to know his share in Raizada industries is someone charity he felt bad. He not only felt bad on the elders to hide it but also on his parents how they can ask something which is not theirs

Amidst of all things happening around Arnav asked Anjali again who is Shyam?

Flashback

Do u remember Kushi Class X farewell party Chote?

Yep he remembers that unfortunate day where he and Kushi fought like anything for the first time. Kushi completed her class X and she actually tried a frock which is decent but very much body fitting for the farewell party which he didn’t like a little bit. He knows she needs freedom but then she is too young to understand the vultures of this society and she is just 15 for heaven’s sake, how can Garima aunty or Shashi uncle allow her to wear that. He knows he is being a possessive jerk because Anjali Di also wore such outfit and even Payal too but then this is Kushi. She doesn’t even know he loves her, what if someone proposes her and she accepts

She was twirling before him and asking if the frock suits her. This is the first time she is wearing a Disney themed princess dress. AnjaliDi has designed this dress and she is more than happy to wear this.

Arnav why are you looking so grumpy tell me na how is the dress complained Kushi to an irritated Arnav

Kushi can you change the dress; it looks not so good on you the possessive beast in him replied not even thinking about the consequences

Not good, really both Anjali and Payal replied

Payal don’t u think the dress is not good for farewell party, can you ask Raj bhaiyaa to tell kushi to change

Payal might be a silent girl but she knows in and out of Arnav and she also knows why he is behaving like a caveman now. Arnav if you stop your possessive beast side can you let her go to the farewell and it’s not like she is the first one who is wearing such dress, we all did

Even Anjali Di said stop being the controlling jerk ok

He knows he is not going win here, so he took Kushi aside and said in a stern tone to change her dress or if he will not drop her to the school. Kushi being Kushi said in a no-nonsense tone that Raj bhaiyaa or AnjaliDi will drop me or even Payal jiji might drop, she has a Scooty now. She even irritated him saying she will go with NK as both will go to same place. Before he can stop his caustic tongue, he said that of course you want to gain attention from all elite boys wearing such dress and that comment moved kushi to tears and all the elders to scold him

He tried explaining in his own ways but none listened and finally he left the house in haste to be away because no one really understand his insecurities
