PART 20
As panic engulfed him all that shyam could remember was how Arnav had ruined his life yet again..
ASR became the mantra his clenched teeth chanted as he tried to control his car skipping the just miss hits of the trucks...
How unfortunate he was that he had cut even the clutch wires that they even failed to help him reduce the speed... A minute off the steering he would be crushed to death and if he chose to jump off he would be run over by the buses...
Fate had played its tricks too hard and there lay a hard choice in front of him... not in choosing between life and death but between the ways of death... But he was no less... he fought driving briskly swiftly escaping the cars and trucks trying his best to not let fear cross his way
He was sweating all over with the fear of death nearing him every second... If God could grant him this one favor he would flee forever away from all this... Away from all the riches he wanted... away from the Raizadas he robbed ,..away from the guptas he cheated .. away from the ASR he wanted to kill... Away from Khushi on who he lusted.. away from... His thoughts drifted with a pause as he remembered Anjali smiling her way to him taking his aarti and pressing her lips on his cheek... ...
Somewhere in the corner of the rusted heart he could feel pangs of pain and as he felt his tears pricking the corner of his eyes he let go of the steering wheel
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
The sound of the ambulance drilled the eardrums of the people in the street making way to the spot... ASR got off the car along with Akash making his way into the crowd...
There lay the beast fighting for breath soaked in blood surrounded by the doctors and nurses trying to revive him
The little brother in akash quickly slid his hands into Arnav's holding it tight as Arnav stood there his face devoid of any reaction...
every time Shyam took his deep breath the only face the brothers saw was Anjali's...
Somehow they both had crossed their fingers for the traitor in front of them to survive... they could never gain the courage to give Anjali the news if at all anything happened...
The police stood there watching the event as if it was all uncalled for...
" he's breathing now... quick Rush him to the hospital " the doctor screamed as they pushed shyam into the ambulance and Arnav and Akash involuntarily got into the ambulance along with him
Shyam lay there his eyes wide open his gaze fixed on the raizadas.. the needles being pricked into his body seemed to give him no relief of what he was going through
" what was my di's mistake jijaji?" AKash screamed his eyes red and gaze fixed on shyam
Shyam stared at him lost for an answer...memories of Anjali taking care of him was all that he could see now... how he wished he could see her for the one last time...Just once...
. Arnav sat there his face turned away gazing out of the door... he could see the dark clouds yet again engulfing the life of him and his sister...
suddenly there was a loud beep and the moving eyeballs of shyam froze as the doc said " sir.. we are sorry..."
Akash looked up from his hands covering his face " doctor jijajiii" he stammered as he read the doctors face
" bhaiii"akash's hands squeezed Arnav's as Arnav sat there motionless
" bhai... di... di... how will" Akash's fear made his words dribble as Arnav slowly raised his hands pulling his brother closer holding him for support
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
The police had informed the brothers that they need to finish the formalities before handing over Shyam's body to them... so Arnav and Akash had come to the raizada mansion to give them the news
the minute they stepped in Nani mami and nk rushed to the brothers
" woh.. woh..." Akash stared at them as mami held her son shaking him " what happened... tell me... where is that rascal?"
" did the police arrest him akash beta" nani anxiously asked
"damdji say something.. what happened" Buaji panicked seeing the grief struck silence of her two son in laws,...
They turned to see Arnav walk to Anjali who sat there on the floor the beads of the mangalsutra she had scattered sometime back surrounding her
Arnav slowly held her hand as she looked at him her eyes devoid of any emotions...
" di..." Arnav whispered his eyes becoming moist
" what happened to him chotey?" ANjali asked cupping Arnav's cheeks
" jijajiii ... jijajjii... car... brakes" Arnav stammered not finding his guts to face his sister to reveal the bitter news
Anjali's hold on Arnav became tighter as she gasped " did he... di... he...?" she was acred to complete as Akash let his tears flow and nk rushed to him " akash ... what happened"
" he ... he...died... we couldn't save him" Akash said slopping into the sofa making the thunder strike the raizada mansion
Buaji clasped her head as nani 's eyes widened holding onto the nearby pillar for life...
Anjali's hands which were cupping arnav slowly went around his neck as she rested her head on his shoulder , her whole body trembling in his hold while her hands clutched the back of his shirt crumpling them...
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Payal and khushi's eyes widened as they saw the news flashing all over the media about the death of the Brother in law of ASR who was convicted for arrest a few minutes back...
As much as Payal's hearts skipped a beat they also somewhere told ehr he deserevd it for all that he had done to her sister's life... Shyam had ruined and shattered her baby sister's life so much that the girl who knew nothing but smiles lay today after trying to kill herself and she found none but one name responsible for it... SHYAM MANOHAR JHA...
" Diii" Khushi's lips parted as payal nodded and said " i need to go home Khushi... please take care.. i will be back " payal assured her and after giving the nurse instructions rushed home...
" he tried to kill your husband... and he himself got into it... The police reports say so " the nurse said as she changed Khushi's plasters
" you dont worry ma'a... bad things happen to bad people " the nurse added as Khushi lay there her mind lost in the Raizada mansion... She looked down at her plastered weak legs and for the first time regretted for not being able to be there... for them..for anjali... most of all... or to be precise for him... there was no way he's gonna come to her but she knew he needed her...
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Anjali sat there her head resting on Arnav's lap as mami caressed her hairs not finding words to console her... Yes their heart pained not because he died but because they ahd to see their daughter go through the darkness of hell yet again..
Buaji sat there holding nani giving the old lady the support to see her grand children going through it
Payal went around making the arrangements for the last rites of Shyam...
She saw nk walk up to the phone as she walked to Akash...
" akash ji" payal said as akash held her hand taking it close to his face
" payal if bhai had been in the car" Akash said softly surprising her
" haan... that minute i din know what to do.. ...di... i am" he said his voice breaking as payal consoled him assuring him that things would be alright soon
The police suddenly walked in as all looked up
" sir you need to sign these papers" the inspector walked to arnav as Anjali got up
" ma'am you need to also as He's not having any relations besides you" the inspector added looking sorry for anjali
" who said i am related to him ?" anjali said shocking the entire crowd more than the death of shyam
Arnav himself felt the jolt strike his head right away
" ma'am... he's your husband" the inspector said startled
" who? shyam manohar jha?" Anjali asked softly
" ji Mrs Jha" the inspector said as Anjali smiled faintly " i am ANjali singh raizada,... Not Mrs Jha anymore"
" but mam.. he?" the inspector gulped as nani and mami thought if anjali had lost it...
" dii" akash and arnav stepped forward together as Anjali said " let me talk..."
she walked to the drawer and drew out a file and gave it to the inspector
" you are divorced" the inspector asked clueless looking at the papers as Arnav quickly grabbed the file reading the contents " dii... whats all this?" he asked surprised and shocked at the same time
" inspector the day i found that he was cheating on me i had confronted him and after a huge debate he signed the papers... i am no more his wife... so me or my family are in no way obliged to take up his last rites" Anjali said softly her tears flowing
Precap - Khushi calls Arnav
