PART 23

He was sitting at the edge of the bed fiddling with his fingers to take off that shirt while she was removing his towel so that she can place it inside the bathroom for his shower. His fever had almost gone but the weakness still gripped him making him need a support while taking his shower. But that was something he will never ask her to do after what happened between them. He never wanted his wife to think he was still manipulating her and hence making her do things which were out of her zone at the moment.

The door knocked and Lavanya was inside. Arnav smiled at her welcoming her inside. Khushi too was surprised seeing Lavanya here.

La: Sorry Jeeju for disturbing you guys. But this was really important.

Arnav: Come on La. You can never disturb us.

La: Really? That's sweet. Anyways, I needed some signatures of yours on these papers. This is the same project file which you have assigned to me and without your approvals on it I cannot leave for London.

Arnav: Ohh Yes. Good you reminded me La. I had almost forgotten. When is your flight?

Lavanya : Tomorrow morning Jeeju..

He nodded and took the papers from her and started reading them while Lavanya turned to khushi.

Lavanya: Hey sissy.. Making Hubby's shower ready?

Khushi looked at his towel that she was holding in her hands and smiled at Lavanya. How is anyone suppose to know what was wrong between them?

Khushi: Will you eat something La? I was just going to make the breakfast for him now.. She reacted casually without giving any doubts to La and thereby escaping from there.

Lavanya: Dont tell me you are not helping Jeeju with his bath? He is still weak Khushi and he will surely need your support.

Arnav and Khushi shared a short glance and then Arnav interrupted.

Arnav: I have signed the papers Lavanya. You can take them. He cut short the conversation between the sisters. She smiled and took them back from him.

Lavanya: Thanks Jeeju.. Let me not waste your time anymore. You guys carry on and I will leave for work.. Khushi help him..

SHe commanded Khushi who was still blank of her next moves. Before Lavanya could leave, she stopped and turned back to Arnav.

Lavanya: Jeeju.. Did you happen to talk to NK? Did you tell him I am coming there? She asked in a hesitant tone though she wanted to skip this topic. She was curious to know his reacations that too when she was going to stay with him in the same house.

Arnav : Ohh Yes. I did. INfact just last night we talked and he is okay with it. He said with a smile to convince her as he didn't want her to get awkward for travelling to London.

Khushi: Just OKAY? His wife is coming; he should be jumping with happiness. Haina La..

Khushi was of the opinion that everything was smooth especially after their recent intereactions after NK returned. Lavanya was trying herself to pretend to even Khushi that everything was fine between them. Arnav and Lavanya looked at each other not to blurt out these to Khushi..Lavanya tried to somehow manage the situation hiding her emotions with her flaunting dimples and smile.

Lavanya: Khushi.. He will never be overexcited. He will pretend to be okay but internally he will be waiting for me to come there..

Khushi smiled at Lavanya's words which were such a Black lie but this was necessary, Lavanya didnt wish to trouble Khushi because of her issues. SHe thanked them and left back for work.

It had been 10 minutes that Lavanya had left this room and Arnav had succeeded in taking off his shirt finally. He walked slowly towards the Bathroom where his wife was already inside to keep his clothes. She was thinking about what Lavanya had told her. Her husband needed her support. But wasnt she providing that to him? By staying here with him even after knowing how he cheated her ? Wasnt she helping him with all this stuffs which he would alone feel stressed to do? How is she supposed to convince herself that she was doing everything a wife should to make him feel good.. In these thoughts, she was hanging the clothes when suddenly the shower Knob was turned on and she was completely drenched in that water. She tried closing it off and in the process was going to stumble on that slippery floor but the strong arms caught her by the waist and supported her to stand firm without losing her balance. Her eyes blinked under that shower to see her husband before her. Like the way she was drenched completely, his condition too was not much different from hers. He was in his Track pants, shirtless and the water was dripping down his torso giving her some goosebumps as they never shared a shower like this before. She could feel butterflies in her stomach tickling her and making her lose that little control, forgetting all the confessions that they just had few days back regarding shalini . She moved closer to him feeling cold and he took her in his embrace. Hardly few seconds passed as they kept on staring at each other's face and he realised what would happen if they continued to stay like this, stuck to each other, all wet and completely lost in passion on love they carried for the other. She was still in that same pool of desires but he backed off at the right time. She was closing her eyes giving up for his touches but she lost that touch immediately and he turned back towards the Shower room glass avoiding her gaze.

Arnav: Get changed Khushi. You will catch cold otherwise.

Only he knew how much Control he had to keep within himself to leave her untouched in that shower room. He was missing the love of his wife; he was missing loving her like they did before. But that missing thing would remain so until she forgives him. He didnt wanted to push her for anything. He would give her time and only that would help things get better.

She realised she was at fault here for being so submissive and she immediately left the bathroom closing the door behind her, allowing him to take his shower. The indifference continued yet the undying passion and love tempting them to the core made it miserable.

Akash removed his clothes from the bag happily reminiscing about their delightful honeymoon trip which proved as a break to them. Manorama entered with some juice in her hand for Akash as she missed pampering her son since he was out.

Manorama: Have this Juice Akash... What are you doing? Isnt your wife supposed to arrange these clothes inside? Where is she?

He took the glass from her and replied after taking a sip.

Akash: Ma.. Whats harm in arranging our clothes? Is there any rule that only wives should look after this job.

Manorama: Akash bitwa now days you are very much in support of your wife. I don't know what magic has she cast on you.

Akash got agitated at the accusation against Payal. Here he was making peace in her by convincing that his mother would treat her better, Manorama seems to pour water over his efforts. He felt its time to put an end to her unnecessary taunts as it was getting out of his hand again.

Akash : Ma.. Let me ask you something.. what does Payal lack? Money, beauty, education, morals, values or anything you find fault in her?

Manorama got dumbfounded when Akash stared at her and asked her openly.

Akash : Spot one mistake in her on these that makes you different towards her. I didn't see you treating like this before to Anjali bhabhi.. or is it because she gave you the happiness of becoming a daadi you didn't show off this attitude to her which lacks in Payal? Or is it that Payal is undertreated than Anjali bhabhi since she is younger daughter in law.

She felt tongue tied when Akash came up with such a big question. She herself didn't know what to reply to this question. Not that she was treating indifferent with Payal and Anjali but there was some unknown reason where she herself couldn't figure out. She bent her head down with shame as the truth hit her.

Akash : I know the reason.. You were perfect till some days after my marriage. I didn't see any difference in you treating bhabhi or Payal. But slowly when you started mingling with your high class society ladies club friends who really fueled your mind with the demarcation of treating Daughter in laws as slaves where by you can show your authority as a mother in law. Is it not? You had tried to mask the same image with bhabhi but with her physical ailment and the pregnancy you felt on the top of the world.. While Payal was the only prey left out is it not?

Manorama : No Akash.. Not like that.. I think them as my daughters.

Akash : Enough ma... don't play with words. Have you ever talked to her like a normal girl forget treating her like a daughter.I have always seen your jibes on her whenever you could get a chance. And by treating them differently aren't you making a small rift between the cousin sisters themselves? Did you ever think how Payal would feel when treated like this? As far as I know I haven't seen my Daadi treating any three of you differently.. She gave ample freedom at the same time controlled you like a mother. Only after Chacha chachi's demise she took the whole responsibility of bhai. That too she had never imposed you or Nandini chachi to take care of Arnav bhai or his responsibilities. She was a true gem of a person one who can be a matriarch of this family.

Manorama's eyes welled up thinking of the fool she had made herself too. She was provacated by her friends and Shalini whom she thought were saying everything for her good. But hearing this out from Akash she felt she had done a great mistake in treating Payal differently.

Akash : Ma..Dont you remember the promise you gave Guptas that their daughters will be yours and will be treated like that in this family ? You failed to keep up the promise.. I think if you continue to taunt her like that then I am sorry to say I wouldn't be staying in this house anymore. You have your eldest son who will look after you better than me Ma. Think about it.

Ananya opened her eyes and continued pulling her father's locket but Shyam carefully changed her diaper and then moved the locket away from her tiny fists. She was irritated when her Paapa did this and was about to cry but Shyam didnt allow her to shed any tears. He quickly picked her in his arms and got up from the bed. He did see Anjali staring at them and his expressions changed. He could read little happiness on her face and realised she was admiring this little moment between him and Ananya.

He purposely started talking to the baby in a loud tone so that his wife overhears her.

Shyam: Paapa will never allow his Rajkumaari to cry. She is Paapa's girl. Ananya is strong like Paapa not like her Mumma who keeps crying on every matter.

Anjali dropped her jaw and entered inside.

Anjali: What did you say? I .. I cry on every matter? Really? She was about to get into a fight but he wasn't in a mood to entertain. He had rather learnt to be more tolerant to her anger which he felt was more

Shyam: Yes. Don't defend yourself infront of our daughter Rani Saheba. She too agrees with me. Look how she is smiling at me for telling the truth?

Anjali was really angry but equally surprised that her husband had started behaving so normal these days as if there was nothing wrong between them anytime. She extended her hands to take Ananya back from him but he moved back.

Shyam: Please. Let me spend some time with her too. He pleaded with his eyes and the genuine wish of a father could be easily pictured in him.

Anjali:(Sighing): She must be hungry and a father cannot satisfy this need of his new born baby. Only a mother can. Now give her to me before she starts getting more irritated.

SHyam chuckled and passed Ananya back to Anjali. He never realised he could even be happy when his wife was around. Initially he never attempted to make her happy but things were changing now. After leaving all his ill deeds and a casinova life, all he wanted to do now was conentrate on his family.. His wife and his loving daughter. He had promised himself to make things right between them now. He knew his mistakes were unforgivable but he will win his wife's love again and this time he will prove he is not even a good Son, but a loving caring husband and a responsible father too.

**************

Khushi leaned her head backwards on her chair in nervousness. She herself wasn't sure how this mistake must have happened. Her legs and hands were starting to shiver thinking of the gravity of the mistake. Had she clearly checked the details before sending she wouldn't have faced this situation now. The matter has clearly gone out of hands and she was really crippled with fear not able to decide what would be the next solution. To worsen this, she couldn't even lend help from her only mentor husband Arnav. He had been to Mumbai for an urgen business deal and she wasn't sure of calling him and asking him for a help through mobile. Things weren't different between them though.

Her manager entered into the cabin seeking permission while she leaned forward the table to question him.

Khushi : Now tell me what have you got to answer me for this?

Manager: Madam please.. listen to me.. I think there was a clear misunderstanding.

Khushi roared in anger listening to his words.

Khushi : Come to the point Mr. How did this dormant account cheque reach our client?

Manager : Madam.. voh..

Khushi : Stop it Mr. Didn't you check the payment before delivering it to the client? Especially the client being a sub contractor for Government projects, how could you just be so careless on this ?

Manager: But madam.. You had signed the cheque yourself.

Khushi closed her fists in anger, closing her eyes in thinking about how this happened. After much thinking she could easily figure out the situation. After her confrontation with Shalini, she had been absent minded in her office works but hadn't left a chance to torture Shalini due to her disturbed phase. And this government project was offered at the same time where she had given the responsibility to Shalini and her team. So obviously this was a ploy on her part by deceiving her with the cheque she must have mistakingly signed for the submission of tender.

Manager: Madam.. I shall try to get some idea on how to solve it through our lawyers.

Suddenly the door opened when a group of Policemen entered into her cabin. Khushi felt like the whole world was crashing when she stood up and heard their request to follow them to the station for enquiry.

She fiddled the hem of her saree and gulped her nervousness. Its not a criminal case they are going to enquire but the simple enquiry will reach up to media and ruin her company's market reputation. She felt like she was being alone in this world without anyone to support her. Praying to Devimayya to give her the strength to tackle all these she followed them.

She was tired of convincing the Police to understand that she was no where involved in this matter. All this had to be someone's conspiracy to defame her but the Police didnt give a ear to her statements and continued their interrogation. She was very nervous at the moment and was thinking if she will ever be able to come out of this when she heard his voice.

She turned back to see her husband Arnav Singh Raizada standing before her , some feet away gulping down his emotions seeing her in this state. Without waiting anymore, she got up from the chair and rushed into his arms, the only place where she can find her solace. He could feel the pain she was going through. He had just flew from Mumbai knowing what happened with her. She can never cheat a client for money. There had to be someone who plotted all this. He wished to wrap his arms around her and make her feel he will make things right but he knew one thing, she had yet not forgiven him for his past and he still had to maintain that distance with her till everything sorts out.

He angrily stared at the Policemen who were waiting some feet away to ensure she doesnt flee off this place.

"How dare you get my Wife here?", he screamed at the head of the Police wishing to fire everyone out here once his wife is proved innocent.

Police : Sir.. PLease we just took her here to interrogate on the cheque issue that's all..

Arnav: So.. you would bring any Business magnet to the police station for enquiry just like that? If there was a case then you had contact her before barging into her cabin and taking her into the station. Do you have any idea how this would affect her organization reputation?

Police : Sir we cant do anything, it's a fraud case. She has issued a cheque to a dormant account to a contractor who handles Government projects. When the contractor issued a complaint we took action as per rules that's it!

Arnav turned behind to spot the person who entered into the scene. The Contractor came near the inspector and informed that he would like to withdraw the case since it was already settled by Arnav on mutual agreement that it was a mistake out of oversight. Khushi was stumped to hear that. She hadn't expected him to easily withdraw the case when she had even tried to talk to him on this.

Arnav : Inspector I hope you haven't made anything on papers against my wife. And above all this shouldn't be leaked out in any medias or any mode of communications.

Police: I am sorry Sir. I give you a word. This wont be leaked. I just need some signatures form the contractor, You can take her now.

Arnav thanked him and turned towards Khushi was standing with fear near him. He held her shoulders and took her out of the station without a word.
