Chapter 16

Khushi and Priya reached Shantivan on time. They were about to enter Shantivan when Khushi remembered that she had left the files in the car. She moved back to the car asking Priya to go ahead.

She stooped on her tracks on her way back when her ears caught her attention.

"Can't you understand, I have to deal with both of them.... She is alive.... I enquired and was told that she is a live dead body but can recover.... I don't want to give any chance to her to ruin my plan.... I have waited 3 years.... If you can't finish her I will.... Rani Saiba won't be a problem.... She can easily be manipulated...."

Khushi couldn't believe her ears. She couldn't see the person but the name Rani Saiba cleared her confusion and she knew who the person could be.

At first she decided to tell Arnav but dropped the idea to why he will believe her and she had no proof to what she heard and no reason to blame his jijaji.

She brushed away everything for the time being as she made her way inside to find the Raizada family seated in the living room selecting jewellery.

She greeted everyone except one person Arnav as was busy with his laptop and didn't look up.

Mami picked a necklace and placed it against her neck to check how it looked.

"HHBB, how does this necklace look?" mami asked looking at herself in the mirror.

"Mamiji it looks buriya, beautiful." NK said.

"Nanheji buriya nahi badiya." Khushi said give out a small giggle and so did the rest.

"Khushiji you are so sweet. You understand me so well." NK said looking at Arnav from the corner of his eyes.

"Manorma if you wear such heavy necklaces your neck will bend down during the wedding as it won't be able to bear the heavy burden." Mama said making everyone laugh.

"Ap to shut up hi kar lo... Am not old like sasuma that I can't bear the weight of this necklace.

"Manorma." Nani said giving an angry look.

"Sorry sasuma... lekin I need to look beautiful... it's my son's wedding." Manorma said looking into the mirror.

"Mamiji this necklace looks beautiful on you." Khushi added as they continued selecting different jewellery for the different occasions matching with their outfits.

"Khushi why don't you also select something for yourself?" Anjali said showing a neck piece to her.

"Nahi Anjaliji. These sets are too heavy, I won't be able to wear them." Khushi said looking at the boxes.

It took them almost two hours to finalize on what they wanted.

Arnav who was pretending to be busy with the laptop occasionally looked up to see Khushi and ended up being caught by Anjali.

"Chote... I heard you had to break the door of the conference room on Sunday." Anjali said cheekily.

Khushi and Arnav shot their heads up on hearing the statement and then turned to see each other's face as they both remembered the incident making Khushi nervous.

"Yes Di, it was jammed." Arnav replied with a straight face.

Anjali noted the expressions on both their faces and didn't continue further and turned to Priya. "Priya, Rohan didn't come?" she asked.

"No, he has gone to Lukhnov... but he will be back before the wedding ceremonies starts." Priya replied.

There was an odd silence before Anjali broke the silence again.

"Waise Chote... you should also start looking for your soul mate." Anjali said looking at Arnav who looked back as if he didn't get what she was talking about. "I mean Akash is getting married, your friend Rishi is also engaged... so now it's your turn." She said studying his expressions.

Arnav eyes darted to Khushi as soon as he got what Anjali was trying to say and looked back at his sister who was staring back at him curiously.

"Di, please stop it." He said in a stern voice.

"What stop? I have also got pictures for a few girls." Anjali said placing the pictures on the table near Arnav.

Arnav looked at the pictures and then at Khushi who was staring back at him. He felt something different looking into her eyes which she quickly dropped them down to the pictures.

"Di, stop it." Arnav said.

Anjali moved her target to Khushi now as it was impossible to pull Arnav's leg.

"Chote won't tell us his choice but at least you can Khushi." Anjali said turning to Khushi and eyeing Arnav.

Arnav's head snapped up on this to find Khushi looking at him and he moved his gaze back to the laptop as a mischievous smile spread on Khushi's lips.

"Ammm... he should be handsome, tall, stylish... Meaning good in taste in fashion. Or ha bolta kam ho." (talk less) Khushi said eyeing Arnav.

"Bolta kyu kam ho?" (why should he talk less?) Anjali interrupted.

"So that I can talk." Khushi replied with a broad smile.

"Hmmm..." Anjali indicated to continue.

"Well settled, acha khasa kama leta ho... aur..." Khushi stopped to think.

Arnav stopped typing and his ears tuned to Khushi's voice. He knew the words were for him which was making him angry.

"Aur kya Khushi?" Anjali asked looking at her brother whose eyes shot fire.

"Aur... Aur... Ha... Laptop se unko nafrat ho." She said looking at Arnav and then at Anjali.

"What the..." Arnav shouted in anger.

"Esa kyu Khushi?" Anjali did the work of fueling ignoring her brother.

"Kyuki wo pura din laptop pe chipak ke rahenge... Aur hamare liye waqt bhi nai nikal payenge." She said making a sad face and looking at Arnav. "Aur ha he should be a friend of Salman khan." She said in excitement.

Arnav shut the lid of his laptop with a thud and stood up to leave only to be stopped by Anjali.

"Aap kaha chale Chote?" Anjali asked.

"Di, I have work." He said walking away to his room as the room filled with the laughter of family members as they all knew that Khushi was pulling Arnav's leg.

"Khushi bitya, let's go I want to show you something. Priya bitya you also come with us." Nani said standing up to go to her room.

"Nani I'll come after putting these files in my room." Anjali said.

"HHBB... humko bho thoda touch up karne ka paddi." Mami said moving towards her room.

"Aree... Chote has left his phone here." Anjali said on seeing the phone and picking it. "Hp... give this phone to Chote and put this files in my room." Anjali said handing over the items to HP.

Shyam came in to find Anjali giving instructions to HP and his evil mind set to work.

HP was about to enter Arnav's room when Khushi stopped him. "HPji... please help me with this phone." She took the phone and dialed her number and gave a miss call. She then deleted her number from the call list. "You can give the phone to him... but please don't tell him anything." She said to which HP nodded in positive.

She then joined everyone in nani's room.

Shyam entered the room to find the files placed on the table. He quickly removed some papers from his bag and mixed them among the papers in one of the files.

"Rani Saiba you won't know when you will sign your own death." He mentally said running his hand through his hair with a cunning smile.

At lunch time everyone gathered at the dining table. Khushi helped in serving and had to six next to Arnav since there was no other place left. Lunch had been a silent affair after which Shyam out saying he had work, Arnav went back to his den, and Anjali decided to finish with her files before she joined them again while the rest moved back to the hall to pack the gifts and as promised Anjali joined them half an hour later.

"Anjaliji..." Khushi started only to be cut short.

"Khushi... since we are going to become relatives now... you are going to call me Di like everyone else do." Anjali commanded.

"Thank you Anjaliji... Di..." she said with a smile. "Di, I wanted your permission."

"Permission, for what?" Anjali asked confusingly.

"To disturb your Chote." She said with a cheeky smile drawing everyone's attention.

"Disturb Nanav... Khushiji... Kya pak raha hai apke dimag me?" (what's cooking in your head?) NK asked popping his eyebrows.

"Di, it's just for fun." Khushi said looking back at Anjali.

"Ok Khushi." Anjali said giving her the green signal to go ahead.

Khushi removed her phone and dialed the number that she had saved under the name LAAD GOVERNOR' and kept it on speaker for everyone to hear. She indicated everyone to remain silent by placing her finger on her lips as soon as she heard the beep of the phone being answered on the other end. Arnav answered the call using the Bluetooth.

"Hello." Arnav said.

"Hello... Ranja..."

"What the..." he said fishing out his mobile from his pocket to check the caller ID.

"Ranja."

"Wrong number." He said going to end the call.

"Phone mat katna mere Ranja... Kitni muskil se apka mila hai."

"Shut up... and I don't know you."

"Itni jaldi bhul gaye apni heer ko?"

"What the... I don't know any Heer."

"Esa julm na karo mere Ranja... Hum mar jayenge apke bina."

"What rubbish..."

"Aap bhul gaye hum pichle saal Shimla me mile the... Hai... who barfile pahad... Thandi thandi hawa..."

"What nonsence... And for your kind information I have never been to Shimla..." he retorted back with his voice rising.

Khushi bit her tongue as everyone else tried to control their laughter.

"Esa maat karo mere Ranja."

"Just shut up..." he shouted at the top of his voice ending the call and stormed out of his room.

While on the other hand everyone laughed their head out.

"Wah Khushiji... I would like to see Nanav's face." NK said between his giggles.

"Aap ki echa puri ho gai Nanheji." (your wish is granted Nanheji.) Khushi said gesturing towards the stairs with her eyes.

Everyone followed her gaze to see a fuming Arnav heading towards them.

"Nanheji, aap ne Heer or Ranja ka play dekha hai?" Khushi asked looking at Arnav from the corner of her eyes.

"Ha Khushiji... It's a really nice play... Haina Nanav..." NK said looking at Arnav making all of them laugh again while Arnav stood bewildered.

"Chote, kya hua? Aap itne gusseme kyu ho?" Anjali asked.

"Ha Nanav, kya hua? Tumare kaan se itna bhua kyu nikal raha hai?" NK said as if on cue.

"Shut up." Arnav shouted making everyone to close their mouth shut.

"Di... I think we should leave now before buaji starts calling and if you could help me with the files." Khushi said breaking the silence.

"Sure Khushiji." Anjali said standing up only to be held back by Khushi again.

"Di, aap bethiye. I'll go get them."

"Ok... the files are on the table." She said giving directions to her room.

Khushi returned back after a while with the files.

"Di, we will take your leave now." Khushi said.

"Ok Khushi, let Chote drop you." Anjali added.

"Nahi..." Khushi almost shouted. "I mean we have come with a car." She said with a smile.

Shyam returned late at night and started looking for the files when Anjali came there.

"Are you looking for something?" Anjali asked.

"Nahi Rani Saiba." He said trying to control his frustration as he couldn't directly ask about the fles. "I left a file here in the afternoon and am not getting it." He finally said.

"Oh, I kept it safe for you in the locker. Do you want it?"

"No Rani Saiba. I'll ask for them when I want it." He said.

Rani Saiba... aap kitni bholi hai...apni barbadi ke kagaz apne khud sambhalke rakhdiye... I need not to worry as I know you will take good care of those papers.' He thought moving towards the washroom to freshen up.

"Any new update on him?" Arnav asked on the phone.

"No sir, he has been in the city only and hasn't done anything suspicious." Aman answered.

"Ok." Arnav said ending the call.

_____ xx _____ xx _____ xx _____

Khushi was going through the files again which Anjali had signed when one of the paper caught her eyes.

This doesn't look like mine.' She thought.

She had a better look at the paper and what she read left her speechless.

I was right.... This man is up to no good...but what can I do.... I can't even tell Arnavji...'

She took pictures of the papers in her mobile and hid the papers somewhere deep in her wardrobe where no one could get them.

I'll keep an eye on him.'
