PART 14- MENDING BROKEN DREAMS
The Next Day...
Shyam had not yet figured out why Khushiji had not yet told Arnav. He heard a noise behind him. "Namastey Kamlaji." He regretted ever seeking her help. She came and threatened him for money. He gave her another bundle of money, grimacing.
Nani watched in silence from the first floor as Akash and Anjali sneaked out of the house... Something was NOT right. Khushi bitiya looked TOO hurt to have just tripped and fallen.
-Outside RM-
"Akash, how do we gather more proof?" Anjali asked.
"Di, I don't get it! WHY do we need proof? You have those papers!" Akash said.
"Its too little Akash." Anjali muttered.
Anjali turned and saw a familiar woman. She clutched Akash's arm.
"Akash, she is the lady whom Shyamji wanted to help the other day... he had taken money from me and given her..." she whispered, as the two of them watched a transaction take place. Anjali's mind set to work, trying to connect things... She seemed to understand now....
"Akash, she would be our first pointer." Anjali said firmly.
Khushi noticed a bag lying in one corner of the room as she had her bath and came out. She ignored it, thinking it must be Arnav's. "Tumahare liye." Came his husky voice. She turned around to see him against the doorframe, his hands folded across his chest. "Woh Arnavji, hum badmein-"
"Abhi Khushi" he said gently. She sighed, and went to the open the gift he had got... Laad Governor Kahinke... Gift ki kya zaroorat thi? He settled next to her as she began opening her gift.
He observed her carefully, and was happy when that pretty mouth of hers curled into that typical 'O' with recognition...
Naniji was feeding Laxmi, lost in thoughts... Everyone in the house seemed to be involved in something except Manorama and herself... She wondered how she could find out. She sighed, but she knew she had her own ways to work things out...failproof ways...
Meanwhile...
"Hein?" Manorama thought, as she saw Anjali Bitiya and Akash Bitua in deep conversation. Khoon Bhari Taang was standing behind Akash Bitua, looking around anxiously. "Ee ka? Housewa mein secrate? Hum bhi sunat hai..."
As she saw Maaji approach, Payal panicked and said loudly, "Arey Maaji! Aap? Kaisi hain aap?" Akash and Anjali's head shot up, and they kept quiet.
Manorama frowned at everybody. She sensed some secret... She knew they had changed topic as soon as Khoon Bhari Taang alerted them. "Inbhestigason karega padi...!" She thought.
Nani had an idea. She called up GH. "Ji, Namaste Madhumatiji. Hum Devyani Raizada bolat hain."
"Ji Naniji kahiye Nandkisore!" her voice boomed.
Nani chose her words carefully. "Khushi bitiya pahunch gayi hai!"
"Accha Nandkisore? London ke baare mein ka baulat hai Sanka Devi?"
That was all that Nani needed... Buaji thought Khushi was in London. So OBVIOUSLY Khushi had not visited GH. WHERE HAD SHE BEEN?
And everyone seemed to know where she had been... She pursed her lips. "I WILL get to the bottom of this..."
"A-Arnavji, yeh toh-" Khushi stuttered, as tears filled her eyes.
Arnav hugged her and whispered, "Ye main iss liye laya, tumhe dikhaane ke liye ki kuch sapne asli duniya mein bhi sach hote hain..."
Khushi was shocked. "Aapko kaise-"?
"I heard you talking to yourself that day..." Arnav said.
Both had not forgotten that day. They had gone to get Lavanya's engagement dress and Khushi had tried a bridal attire, stunning Arnav. Unable to express it, he had mocked her, saying that he would give her that dress as a tip... He had left, but had come back unnoticed, to see her crying. "Sapnon ki duniya hi behtar hai Lavanyaji...Kyunki asli duniya mein toh sirf dil toot-the hain..."
Reminiscing this, Khushi hugged Arnav, and started to cry.
After Shyam handed over the money, he decided he could not take it anymore...He would talk to Khushiji... Then he recieved a call, annoyed he picked it up and said, "No can't do...! Forget it...! GAH! Yes, I will pay you!" Muttering he switched off the phone. Now what?
Shyam walked into RM, determined to talk to Khushiji, and find out why she had not told him...
PRECAP- Shyam saw Khushi coming out of the bathroom, and drying her hair. Smirking, he began entering, when he felt someone roughly pulling him back. "Agar mujhe sahi tarah se yaad ho, toh maine shayad aapse kaha tha, JIJAJI, ki meri patni ke aas paas bhatakne ki KOSHISH bhi mat karna..."
Sorry... I know its short... :P
