ArHi FF: Check Mate! (completed) - Page 48

Its was almost 10 mins since Arnav left and since it was almost time for the case proceedings to start Anjali and Kushi started walking inside the court room where their case was being handled. That was when Kushi saw Shyam coming out the lawyers cabin and walking towards the courtroom as well.

"Where is chotey?" Kushi turned to look at Anjali.
"He said he will come di" she told her looking around if Arnav was visible
"ok" Anjali looked worried
"Di, You go in, I will come back" Anjali nodded
"EVerything is going ot be alright Di" Kushi told her before she sent her in. Kushi saw Anjali's retreating figure until she turned toward the bend of the corridor which nested the court room where their case was being held. Then Kushi turned determindedly and started walking towards Shyam.

"hello"
"Hello Bhai, there is good news and bad news"
"go ahead"
"you were right bhai, the good news is that the financial records of AR are gadbad..."
"how much is missing?"
"2.5 crores"
"and?"
"the finance manager says that Shyam and our auditor are involved. He would come to them for money but they didnt bring it to our notice since he was the son in law of the family"
"did you speak with the auditor?"
"yes bhai, he is here...He says that Shyam had given the picture that we know about this money and we didnt want to pay tax for the entire profit and so Shyam is acting on your behalf."
"ridiculous, Why didnt he come to me for confirmation? "
"He says that Shyam had'nt let him approach you- he always maintained that you had prefered to keep it that way, he says that he was tricked and threatened too- there is some hold here- I dont get the whole picture"
"Alright and what is the bad news?"
"They dont have any concrete proof that Shyam was involved for the larger part of the money- Only 50 lakhs will be traceable- the rest - absolutely no valid documents/cheques/transaction id - nil- He can easily say that he was acting on your behalf- you will be in trouble from the IT department!"
"hmm.. thats rubbish! No lets not assume things Akaash and we dont have enough time- how long will it take for you to come here?"
"I can make it in 15 mins if there is no traffic"
"bring the financial data CD, and bring them both as well. start right now... I will try to get some time if possible"

"Thats great Mr. Raizada- really great news! But how in the world did you people think of it"
"Something was not clicking right Mr. Fernando- the way Shyam told the other day that he had secured himself financially...I was handling all my personal and family's financial stuff... I thought probably he was playing around with the company's money as I was paying someone to look after it- it was easy for him to manipulated my staff- so will we be able to get a hold on this case now?"
"I will try my best Mr.Raizada- For all we know he would have backup for this and we dont know what it is going to be and it is quite risky too- seeing that if he has to get out of this mess he might have topull you in! But we can give it a try- I can atleast project a doubt that he was interested in money- Any idea where the money is diverted to?"
"I already have my men working on those lines, We will soon get some details on it"

"Di, where is Kushi?"
"Isnt she with you?
"No, I left her with you"
"I thought she came in search of you"
"oh!, ok, I will go and see where she is..." turned to go then turned and looked at her "we have got a break Di, it will all be sorted"
"What? how?"
"You will see" He smiled at her and left to find Kushi.

He was walking around looking for her and then spotted her in the adjoining crowded corridor along with Shyam.
A sudden anger captured Arnav when he started walkng towards them.

"Everything is a bargain in this world Kushiji! If you fail to do what you agreed for then you know what I am capable of" Shyam's evil smirk gave her goosebumps and chills down the spine. Kushi started sweating profusely.
"yes, I agree- first do what you agreed , I will do my part" Kushi stammered
that was when she heard a growl behind her
"Kushi !"
She turned to look into the raged eyes of her husband. If looks could burn, she would be ashes now.
"Arnavji?
"What are you doing here?
"Nothing Arnav, Having a chat - talking about old times you know" Shyam smirked
"I have told you so many times before- Stay away from my wife! If you ever try to harm her..."
"I ? She was the one who came to me" Shyam jeered "and I have better things to do than to go around harming people, I have better methods to get what I want"
Arnav stared at shyam while he left with his smirk still intact
He turned to glare at Kushi
"I just asked him to stop this game and free Di" Kushi explained him helplessly
"I dont go and beg someone to give up- I prefer to fight!, I thought my wife was like that too!"
"I didnt beg him- I only tried to get him see the right path"
"and?"
"and he... he agreed not to create anymore mess in Di's life"
"and?" Arnav prompted, the more he heard her answer the more he got suspicious about Shyam's intentions
"and what?" Kushi asked shakely
"Dont act kushi, Out with it... I know him if he agreed to that then what did he demand from you for it?"
"nothing, I.."
"See kushi, you cant lie to me .. dont you dare to...I want to know what is your part of the bargain. what did you promise for?" Arnav asked her clutching her arms and raised his voice.
Kushi's eyes brimmed with tears "Please leave me Arnavji, everyone are watching"
"Let them watch Dammit, I demand an answer from you! what did you agree to give him?"
"Agree to give?" She asked helplessly "I wouldnt give him anything that would be rightfully yours in all sense! Never ever"
Arnav's hands loosened his grip seeing the hidden meaning this question suggested and the hurt his questions were causing her
"I didnt mean that Kushi- I trust you completely you know that!" He told her earnestly "I am worried that you put yourself into risk for nothing"
"For nothing? Anjali Di's life is ..."
"its going to be alright" Arnav interuppted her

"Going to be alright? how? when shyam is wrecking it in front of our eyes?"
"He cant, I wont let him, we found some evidence against him"
"What? really" she smiled through her tears
he nodded still worried for what she would have promised Shyam
