Part 5

Delhi, Monday 16^th July 2012

"What do you mean you want a divorce?" Anjali looked up towards him, fury ablaze in her usually soft eyes.

"Rani sahiba, lets run away. You, me and the baby."

"What are you talking about. First divorce, now run away. What is wrong with you?"

Shyam took in a deep breath. He had to play is cards right. And calculatively.

"Rani sahiba, I am scared. I am very scared. I just want whats best for the baby. I am too scared to even look at the baby. I can't go on like this. I have dreamed of nothing more than to have a family with you. And now finally when its all so close I am scared of losing it all."

"Why would you think like that. We are yours. Why would you be scared? Tell me. Share with me." Anjali implored him with her eyes to confide in her. She shuddered at the thought that something or perhaps someone was keeping her husband away from her and their baby. First Chotey, now Shyam. No, she wouldn't let him throw the marriage away.

"The truth is Khushiji wants me to leave you. She has had an obsession with me ever since we met. I lied to you Rani sahiba. I knew her from Lucknow. I saved her life when Sale Sahib had tarnished her reputation. Ever since then, she hero worships me."

"NO! This can't be. You must be mistaken. Khushi would never…NO!" She was floundering. Her mouth felt dry. Not Khushi. Surely he had to be mistaken. Anjali sank to the bed clutching at her sides. Shyam slid down and took his place smoothly next to her drawing her in by the shoulders.

"She wants the money Rani Sahiba. I have been following her for the last 2 months. Even her family, she has them so well under the thumb that they would do anything to protect her. They would even lie for her. I think she might even have something to do with Sale Sahib's disappearance…"

"NO! She loves him! I can see that in her eyes!" Anjali almost screamed, desperate to dispel her husbands' words.

"That's what I thought to Rani Sahiba." He squeezed her shoulder for emphasis. "But haven't you noticed how composed she is? Think Rani Sahiba, if it were me that were lost," Anjali turned around with a jerk as if daring him to continue along that track, yet horrified at the thought.

"its ok, I am fine, I am here with you. I am just saying, if something happened to me, and you hadn't heard from me in months, would you be able to function as normally as she is?"

Anjali fell to the floor clutching her husbands' shirt. Shyam put a comforting hand on her head. "Its ok Rani Sahiba, I will always be by your side."

Shyam sat still by her side letting her cry it all out. He was getting bored, but he allowed his mind to wander to the possibilities. He had succeeded in manipulating Anjali, but that was always going to be the easy part. The next steps he had to play very carefully.

"I am going to ask her to leave."

"NO! Rani Sahiba. Not just yet. Remember she wants his money that's why she is doing this. Anything we do now could jeopardise Sale Sahibs wellbeing."

"But then?" She looked pleadingly at her husband to give her direction,

"I have been devising a plan, that's why I have been away, I knew you would be upset and there was no place in the world I would have rather been than with you and our daughter. But I had to, I hope you see this now?"

"Oh I do. I do. I am so sorry for doubting you."

"Rani Sahiba, before Sale Sahib left, he changed his will. I convinced him to remove my name from the will, because of Khushiji's advances. Somehow I convinced him and now you are the sole benefactor of all of his assets." He slowed himself down, allowing every word to sink in. He knew he would come out the hero in her eyes. He always had.

"What would we do without you,"

"Don't say that Rani Sahiba, you are all my family. It was my duty. I have called some lawyers home and we will have to execute the will."

"WHAT? How? That means Chotey….No I cant let that happen. For a will to be executed the signatory has to be dead, Chotey is not dead. Chotey is NOT DEAD!" she went hysterical and searched her husband, her eyes blazing but she received nothing but a calmness from him in response.

Shyam had counted on this reaction. He almost welcomed the hysteria, it made his work so much more interesting. He cajoled her to sit and wrapped his arms around her cooing sweet nothings into her hair and stilling her.

"I know. He isn't dead. I know that. You know that. But we have to do this. To save it from her. If what I think is true and she has him locked up somewhere, she will force him to make a new will and give everything to her. She will threaten him with you Rani Sahiba and you know Chotey will do anything for you!"

She looked at him horrified, she couldn't even fathom such evil thoughts, to think Khushi was carrying it out was beyond her. He pressed on, "Rani Sahiba, if we execute the will on the premise that your brother has been missing for 2 months, we would do a shanti puja," he felt her hands fist on his shirt at the mention of the shanti puja and quickly added, "don't worry, we wont have a garland on his photo, for us he is always alive and for us the puja will be for his safe return. This is just for the legal clause. Once that's done, you will become the benefactor and Khushiji wont have anything to leverage Sale Sahib with. Then we can deal with her and you can remove her from our lives. But for now, you must do as I say."
