Hi all, here is the next one, rather quickly,..
Akash was too eager to meet Payal. For one, he wanted to see her, and two, there was so much to tell her. After his phone call she had left home and reached the office early only to be greeted by none other than ASR and not Akash. Remembering all the talk they had last evening when he saw Payal, he called her to his cabin. Not having a clue that ASR knew all about it, she was surprised, but all the same, had to follow his order.
The unlucky Payal was soon sweating when ASR gave her a stern look and asked "So what has been happening behind my back. What's going on? Is there any other thing that I need to know? I can really be bad if any of my family is concerned and if I find that there has been something from your end left me know, otherwise you know very well,...
Payal's face went pale with fear. What was he talking about? She silently prayed, "Devi Maiyya please help me
When she did not reply and gave him a blank look, ASR said in a loud voice, "I am talking about Shyam Manohar Jha, whom you people have been giving shelter from the past few months!! this was a shocker to Payal who was already trembling with fear.
Thankfully, she did not have to face him longer, she was rescued when Akash, who got delayed in the traffic, barged into his cabin and said, "Bhai, please I have told you before!! Then looking apologetically at Payal, "Payal ji, Di and Bhai know all about Shyam now.
"Akash, all I want to know is how did they miss. They have been to RM so many times, I just realised Di has this huge photo in her room? Have they never seen it?
Payal immediately replied, "Sir, we come there to do our work and that too when Anjali ji is not able to come to office. Why should we go her room? Until today, I have never been in her room, or for that matter anybody else's, it has always been your study or the guest room where she normally does her work.
"What about Khushi, she is always walking around everywhere. Half the time she does not know where she is or what is happening around her. questioned Arnav to which Payal gave her reply immediately,
"Sir again, why would Khushi go to Anjali's room? And moreover if she had seen the photo, why would she have kept quiet. She probably would have gone to Anjali ji straight away and told her, or probably she would have told the whole house that he looks just like the PG we have in our house.
Akash was happy to see the fierce side of Payal for the first time, defending her sister, thought Arnav had had his own experience with regards to Payal and did not push the matter further. Ignoring his brother, Akash told, "Payal ji please come to my cabin.
After reading the investigation report, Arnav knew that Shyam was a first grade slime and that the Guptas were cheated just like they were. However, the thought was lurking behind his mind, what if they were all involved in this?
On the way, Akash and Payal met Anjali. Anjali was adamant to go to office even though both brothers told her to stay at home. Payal and Anjali exchanged an understanding look when Anjali called her for a hug. Though hesitant, Anjali pulled her and Payal hugged her tight which spoke volumes. She felt for Anjali, just like as a sister would.
Akash offered a glass of water and of course plenty of apologies on behalf of his brother. Only after making sure she was calm did he allow himself to relax!! Akash finally spoke , Payal ji, now that Di and Bhai know everything, it is wise to involve you Babuji and sort out the matter. It is not safe to have Shyam nearby, with the sort of links he has. If you don't mind let us meet him today itself and find out what he knows and we can tell from our end as well". Payal agreed without any fuss and was seen calling her babuji to arrange a meeting.
Now, Aman being busy in dealing Anjalis matters, Arnav did not deliberately disturb him, however he was missing his secretary for various reasons some only known to him. Oh boy, he could do with a hot cup of coffee now!! He was deprived of that basic necessity as well, because his temporary secretary was having a gala time with her brother oblivious to all the turmoil she was causing to so many people. Well, what could she do? It was Devi Maiyyas wish!!
If only he could leave her alone for a day. Next moment he was seen dialling her number, only to hear it ring continuously without any answer. Khushi, in her excited and clumsy state had forgotten her phone.
After finishing the official work of passport and the stuff, Kushal had taken Khushi for another round of shopping, this time to get the family up to date with the technology. His reasoning was valid. "I want to be able to see mausi, mausa, buaji and Payal and talk to them while I am in London. Though Khushi and Payal had learnt some basics in the office, they were not sure if they could manage at home as well. She did not stop him and just let things be as they were going. She could definitely learn if it can please him.
However, she did force her brother into one thing!! Eating gol gappe. How can anyone not eat them she argued? After filling her tummy and forcibly making him eat the spicy chaat, they were seen entering Gupta house carrying loads of shopping bags and Gol gappe for the whole family.
Kushal just chilled with the family doing, well really nothing. On a cold wintry day in Delhi, what was better than Buajis hot cup of ginger tea, Khushis jalebis and Garimas pakodas?? And to top all this, the garam garam (Hot hot) news and gossips he had missed all these years.
"Ten missed calls from that laad governor Khushi exclaimed when she was back home, to see Kushal turning to her questioningly. She brushed it off and went looking into the messages.
"Miss. Gupta.. If you can tell me where the Snighania file is, we can get some work done. The whole office has not gone on holiday. We need to work!!
Khushi grumbled loudly, "This rakshas does not let me enjoy my holiday as well. I have kept all the file he needs on his desk and he can't see Rather than sending a reply, she decided to call.
Busy in one of the meeting, Arnav took the call without seeing who it was, but soon stood up. He felt a breeze and he whispered "Khushi Not sure why but he was content with the feeling. Whole day he had not seen her ( or rather shouted at her). On the other end, Khushi felt happy hearing her name. Her heart went dhak dhak and her tongue was tied..
Khushi getting to her senses after a while thought, "Oh this acidity is back, I think this laad governor is more spicier than those Gol gappes!! That's why it becomes more when he is there..
Here Arnav remembering what the matter was, he shouted "so now you have got time for office matters? Don't think the whole office is off just because you are off
That did it. Khushi shouted "Sir, all the files you needed today are right on your table. Even the file you were looking for. Do you want me to come and give you?"
After taking Aman's help to find the file, he shouted "I got it, you don't need to come, but why did you not receive my call?? forgetting he was in a meeting.
"Because I had left my phone at home, and I was on holiday. That's why. then after a pause, she asked "Do you need any other file or can I keep now
Irritated by her behaviour, he said "I want you to come really early tomorrow and finish some work and put the phone down to see the rest of the staff staring at him.
"Doesn't even let me live in peace, Devi maiyya why do you always put me, yeah only me, in this situation. How much prasaad I offer everytime I come, still you are not happy. I am always left to face that laad governer. Raakshas hai woh, rakshas (He is a demon, yeah demon) Kushal heard her muttering loudly, walking from one corner to the other. "Somebody is troubling her at the office. I must find out who this Laad governor is..
Anjali, Akash and Payal were discussing seriously when Anjalis phone rang. "Anjali, can you tell me who called Khushi just now, some laad governor? It was Kushal.
"Laad governor, what do you mean Kushal? Laad governor called Khushi? Anjali questioned. Suddenly Payals ears shot up. "Hai devi maiyya, what is Kushal asking Anjali ji she thought covering her mouth with both her hands in shock. All could quite clearly hear what he was speaking since the voice was quite loud.
Kushal explained, "Well she is grumbling from the last 10 minutes saying ahem, aahh well, not necessarily very pleasant things, laad governor, rakshas, Is there any problem? do you know?
Anjali replied, "aaa, actually none of us called, Payal and Akash are with me, they could not have called. Actually wait, she was supposed to be working for chote this week, when Anjali wanted to continue, Payal quickly asked her, "Anjali ji, let me speak to him, please
Payal very quietly explained "Bhai, what are you asking? Can we talk when we get back home. Just don't listen to that Khushi ki bachi"
When Anjali questioned Payal, "nothing Anjali ji, you know how Khushi is, always talking nonsense. She does not mean anything. Oh just saved our skin, she thought!!
It was thought best to call Shashi to office rather than meet somewhere outside. Well, there was the fact that Akash wanted him to see the office where they worked and how respectable and safe job his daughter was doing. Though Shashi was surprised by her call, he hid it quite well when he saw Payal and Akash in his cabin late in the afternoon. After all the courtesies where exchanged, Payal did not waste any time, and explained in detail what had been going on.
Shashi was now sitting with his face covered in his hands. It just hit him as to who they had harboured all this time and how terribly bad, things could have gone. He shuddered. What would have happened if he had listened to his sister? Khushi's life would have been savaged by his own hands.
After he had explained what information he had collected, he finally remarked, "Akash beta, you don't know what you have done. You have saved us from a great tragedy. Though I knew he was crooked, I did not know he could be dangerous. The reports say he has been doing all illegal activities in Kanpur, and Lucknow. When Akash or Payal did not say anything, he said, "Do not let that scoundrel escape. I cannot see any body else's daughter being fooled by him.
After letting him settle for a while to take in the information, it was decided Payal too would go with him as he was in a trauma after listening. Taking permission from Akash, she said, "Akash ji, if you don't mind, could I leave with him. I want him to relax before we go for dinner at the Mehtas today. Akash nodded saying, "Sure Payal ji, anyway it is that time of the day, please take care. Before leaving, Shashi said, "Beta(son), Thank you once again. Let me know if I can do anything in my capacity, Ask your sister to think well and make a decision.
And at the very moment, Akash got a call from Anjali asking him to join in the conference room. After a lot of thinking, consulting her new found friend, she had made her decision.
How was it?...
[MEMBERSONLY]
Precap,...
Will Anjali give shyam a chance?
Will Anjali forgive the slime?
Will the rest be happy with her decision?
How do they plan to expose shyam?
