part 21
The case proceeded as Fernando guessed, As soon as Shyam deceit was brought the front, He projected that the deed was done on the advise of Arnav. Arnav had expected this and proceeded to provide proofs on how the staff did not get any direct instructions from him.
Then Shyam dramatically told that he doesnot understand why he is being blamed when he was asked to do the same by Arnav. He also gave a self suicidal statement saying that he agrees that Arnav has always been honest with paying taxes and for the 50,000 which they are projecting that he had looted, he himself has asked Shyam to donate the amount to 2 or 3 orphanages and old age homes across india. - This surprised the Jury. Shyam then dramatically produced the receipts -all in either AR name or Arnav's name. He then produced receipts from those orphanages the total amounting to exactly 50 lakhs. But he denied the admittance or knowledge of 2 crores which was also missing.
"I was asked By Arnav himself to donate the amount- and I have proofs for the same-But I have no idea whatsoever about the missing 2 crores"
Arnav thought Shyam's move was intelligent but something was fishy- Why did he try to pull Arnav into this if he was planning to save Arnav at the end? what was he trying to prove and to whom? was Shyam targetting Anjali's heart again?
By this time Akaash also arrived along with some more proofs and the two AR staff.
But Shyam moved the case entirely blaming Arnav's Auditor and Finance manager- which meant that good human image that Shyam had created had worked with the jury, Arnav thought even if it had'nt on Anjali.
When the Jury asked if Anjali and Shyam want to give their relationship another try, Anjali denied rightaway and Shyam put up a fake reluctance but finally agreed for seperation-If thats what Anjali wants from him.
The final verdict though was that Shyam and Anjali should live seperately for 6 months and after which they will be out of marital bond for ever. But if in case they have a change of mind in the mean time, they can file a petition to cancel their divorce proceedings. As far the money scandal at AR, the jury had asked for immediate investigation for the two employees and the money to be traced.
After the verdict was read, Anjali was immediately ushered towards the car by both of her brothers while kushi tagged behind, her phone started ringing and she picked it up.
"Kushiji, As promised, I have done my part of the deal- No more intrusion into Anjali's or Arnav's life- but if you fail to do your part of the deal then..."
She immediately turned around to look for the source of this malicious voice.
"You didnt do anything ShyamJi, You didnt do us any favor. it got sorted on its own "
She spotted him then and not suprisingly she found him jeering at her from a distance. As immediately as she spotted him, she found a well known arm sliding around her shoulders and the phone being taken off from her hand.
"Kushi ji, what if I had'nt produced the receipt for the donations? or what if I had'nt agreed for mutual divorce? you think thats not the part of the deal? Now remember your part well or I cant assure you the life of.."
"Whatever crap deal it is ...Neither will she care to do her part of the deal nor will I let will her do it Shyam" Arnav growled and cut the call.
"Come" he barked an order pulling her towards the car.
As soon as they got into the car, Arnav started taking care of certain cautionary measures.
"Di, give me your mobile"
Anjali handed it to him with a confused expression. He immediately switched it off as he did Kushi's and took off the Sim card from both the mobiles.
"Akaash, get them both new sim cards and both of you are not supposed to contact Shyam at any circumstance- this is for your own safety" he told both Kushi and Anjali- the last part of the order was more of a request...They nodded.
"And Akaash, that detective agency that we had hired, let them keep working on where the 2 crores could be deposited. and I have a strong notch that the 50lakhs didnot go into donation either. Those bills were mst probably false bills"
"Yes Bhai, I too felt the same- So do we try to get the Auditor and Finance manager out of this mess"
"We need to" Arnav told him "They werent honest with us, But they are loyal- Shyam manipulated them- we need to take them out- they might prove helpful later- probably give us clues which will lead us to the money- that will give us a strong proof that Shyam was involved. I think we are not yet out of the mess either- until Shyam is arrested for his theft"
***
It took almost a month's time for the Raizadas and Guptas to recover from the storm that hit them-
Arnav and Akaash took immense steps that both Kushi as well as Anjali were not contacted by Shyam. And Kushi took care to invite Ashok ji for every occasion that was held at RM. This was frequent as Naniji along with Mamiji and Payal tried to bring back the mood of the family back to normal with all the poojas and festivals celebrations.
It was one of those days when everyone in the family were busy with some pooja being held. The House Land line rang and Kushi picked it up
"hello"
"Kushiji, Its so nice to hear your voice after a long time"
Kushi's hands went cold
"Sh..shyamji?"
"Oh my god! ou do remember my voice? So flattering Kushiji!
So do you remember our deal still?"
"There was no deal in the first place-as I told you, we.."
"Kushiji- you dont understand... if lady luck decides to take my side, I cant deny her help can I?" Shyam laughed "Ok, Now you are forcing me to do the either or part of the deal"
"No..no..wait...give me some time please.. I cant explain to him immediately.. please wait till the contract gets over..."
"You have another 3 months for that Kushiji,I am not willing to wait- All you have is a months time after that I will start attempting for his life"
then the line went dead.
Kushi whispered a "No" long after that still holding on to the phone not even realising that the line had gone out long back.

"What happened Kushi Betiya?" Naniji asked.
"Nothing Naniji" Kushi replied- her fake smile intact
"Chotey did you fight with her again?" Anjali asked him when he returned back from office.
"No why ?"
"she had been upset for a while now... She smiles and assures nothing is troubling her.. But there is something... I can see ..."
"Nothing Di, I amalright" Kushi assured again before leaving for their room to put the pressed clothes in the wardrobe.
"What is it Kushi? What happened?" Arnav asked her once they were inside the confines of their room
"Nothing Arnav ji" Kushi told him again "What would bother me now? I am fine" She told before leaving the room
But Arnav knew she was lying as it was obvious that she was avoiding his eyes...
HP who was cleaning the pool, came in
"Arnav bhaiya, I think I know why Kushi bhabhi is like this"
"You know?"
"Shyam bhaiya called this evening, I think he told somehting- Bhabhi is worried about it and she is not telling anyone."
"What? Shyam called? and you gave the phone to kushi?"
"No bhaiya, I picked up the extension near the kitchen and Kushi bhabhi picked it up from the hall, I heard Shyam bhaiya's voice, then I dropped my extension"
"thanks HP, That info helps, I will take care" He told HP and started thinking.
