PART 19

Swetha had a hard time in avoiding Lavanya's personal calls but when she received that Jack's call, she made sure that she stood near her mom talking to the neighbour proving she was surrounded by people and cant answer which should be understood by him easily.He addressed her as Lavanya and started to ask her about her decision. She just answered as "hmm" and he as a signal took it as her confirmation. He started to talk abt the drug matter but she had to cut the call when her father was passing by her.

Father : Swetha.. get me a glass of water.

Swetha: Yea papa.

She was a bit tensed and kept her mobile near the sofa to get water. The mobile rang when she went inside. She peeped out to see whether her father attended the call.He took out and was about to answer but stopped hearing a boy's voice.

Jack: Hey Lavanya.. Don't you dare cut the call again. I told you there is no other way than to accept my proposal and come with me. You are just going to distribute the drugs from our distributors to your college friends. If you don't your family will face me infront of them and I wont even mind to tell them that you are one in our gang. You yourself cant deny that. Be careful. I will wait for you near the bookshop tomorrow morning at 7.30 and we have to meet them and take the material. Be ready to come. Bye..

Her father was furious to hear it. Swetha could see the changing expression on his face and moved towards him to give the glass of water. Her father roared at her and asked for explanation. Swetha started her act by crying bitterly.

Swetha : Papa I don't know anything. I am getting this calls for the past two days. Some idiot is blackmailing me. I have been adressed as Lavanya as he called me like that. I thought it was a wrong call but I heard all my friends were receiving the same type of calls. I am very scared papa. I wanted to tell you this today but you found out before that.

Father : What were you doing for the past two days ? Didn't u feel like telling me before?

Swetha : papa I felt it was a wrong call as I had changed my number recently but he started calling often'Sorry papa. I dont know what to do..

She started crying bitterly which affected her father.

Father: Ok beta, dont worry. I will handle this.

She knew her father will now take the matter in his hands and nothing to bother much abt this.

Khushi (on phone): What ? Really ? but what will happen if anyone calls Lavanya now ?

Swetha : Thats the only worry now.

Lavanya : Dont worry bhabhi. I have informed all my friends and family that I lost my mobile and I have blocked the sim. The only person left to informed is bhai . I will tell him when he calls you now.

Khushi : Ok Swetha hopefully he will be caught tomorrow. Devimayya will take care of everything. Bye..

Lavanya sitting on the bed was watching her cute smiling bhabhi turning towards her to make her assure that everything would be alright soon.

Khushi : But when did you do that Lavanya ?

Lavanya : hmm. I told my family when we came to payal bhabhi's house. And all my friends I informed them yesterday through my another friend.

Khushi : wow.. good job.. just leave that. We will talk about something else.

Lavanya : Yea Bhabhi.. so whats your favourite ? Lets start from movies..

Khushi : hmm. I like to watch Hrithik Roshan and Salman Khan movies. Who is your favourite ?

Lavanya : SRK. I love his acting. His style.. uff thats really unmatchable..

Khushi : oh.. yea.. then did you learn classical dance?

Lavanya : No, actually it was my interest that I developed. I ...

Buaji ( calling from kitchen): titaliya come here ...

Khushi : Yea coming Buaji, Lavanya I will come in a minute.

Lavanya : No worries. I will wait here.

Lavanya was going through her books when Khushi's mobile was ringing. She was hesitatnt to pick the call but checked to see the caller. She was more than happy to find her bhai's name on the screen.

Lavanya : Hello bhai.. How are you?

Arnav : Hey chutki... Im fine..Whats this? Whenever I call my fiance my sisters attend the calls. Is there any secret plan behind this ??

Lavanya ( laughing) : oho.. not a secret plan since my brother has his outgoing calls only to my bhabhi's mobile we thought of hijacking our bhabhi and her mobile to our house. But nani refused saying she cant stay before marriage so I came over my bhabhi's place.. How's the idea?

Arnav : Chutki.. I knew you were going to stay with Khushi. She already informed me. Good that you came over. Its a nice change for you. How are you now? Are you okay with everything?

Lavanya ( stammering) : yea bhai. Im fine. I just wanted a change and I thought to share some good time with Khushi bhabhi. She is very nice and all of them in her family treats me like their daughter. Let me spend some time here I thought.

Arnav : ok.. thats good. Hope you dont trouble them like what you do at our home. I know you but still advicing you thats all.

Lavanya : my brother is deeply concerned about his sasural. Thats great. So bhai hows work?

Arnav :As usual fine. I wish I could attend Akash's wedding. But hard chance.

Lavanya: We all will miss you for that. But I m awaiting your marriage bhai . I have to start planning for that from now on. Im really looking forward to make it grand.

Arnav: I know. But enjoy Akash;s marriage first which I cant.hmm you are my little sister and the one who is left to get married after Akash. So I get to attend only your marriage afterwards.

Lavanya : sure bhai. We will try to make sure that we all compensate your absence in the marriage even though its impossible. By the way bhai dont call in my number. I lost my mobile and I have blocked it. I wanted to convey this somehow to you.

Arnav :ah.. good that you lost it otherwise you would might get some calls from that idiot. Thankfully now I dont have to worry about that. Make sure that new mobile number is only to be provided to close friends and family. I dont want you to be negligent from now on. My sister should prove her ability in academics now so concentrate on it.

Lavanya was gulping down all her fears. What if he learns about this drug matter now? He would be surely shattered to hear about the situation. She was correct in hiding it from him otherwise he would lose his peace of mind which she didnt want to happen.

Lavanya : SO bhai did you check your personal mail today ?

Arnav : No dear. Why ? Have you sent me anything..

Lavanya : Yea.. Guess what? Shagun pics which I took..

Arnav : Wow. Uh.. I didnt check it today .. will check it after I finish the call.

Lavanya : Someone is eager to see someone.

Arnav :ahah... yea of cz you all have the golden previlege of meeting Khushi directly which I am not able to. SO atleast I can watch her through photos.

Lavanya : I understand bhai.. Dont forget that I have sent our family pics too. Wont you like to view it esp your baby Madhu' pics?

Arnav : of cz .. I am waiting to see all your faces after a long time. I can only satisfy myself by looking at the pics..

Lavanya : Are you planning to talk to me the whole night? Dont you want to talk to your sweetheart ?

Arnav (raising eyebrow) : Di is like a news agency. She cant keep anything secret always finding ways to tease me. Erm.. now tell me ...Where is my Khushi ?

Lavanya : Oh God wait bhai... let me call her. Lavanya called her informing Arnav was on the line and continued to talk but she realised that the call had got cut.She knew her bhai would call again as he cant resist talking to Khushi. Suddenly her mobile rang again. She immediately attended the call without checking the name..

Lavanya : bhai, what happened ? why did you cut the call ?

NK : Chotti, when did you start giving me respect ? How are you ?

Lavanya got shocked at the change of voice of her brother.. He is not Arnav bhai.. but she felt there was some familiarity in the voice.She slowly came to know who it was. Her voice shaked her senses out of the thoughts.

NK: Hello my darling sister.. It seems you wont talk to me now a days only your fiance has that fortune to talk to you na??

Khushi came in to witness Lavanya holding her mobile. Her shocking expression was not clearly noted by Khushi as she was excited to talk to her Arnavji. Lavanya gave the mobile and moved a little from her turning her back.

Khushi : hello. Arnavji ?

NK : Arre.. what is this ? Still you are in dream land? Come on wake up sister! Did you totally forget me ?

Khushi : NK??? OMG Was it you? I thought Arnavji was on the line? How can I forget my sweet brother who doesnt even have 1 % of love towards his sister that he didnt attend her shagun function?

Lavanya was grasping each and every information. Sister ? And the name she mentioned is NK ? She was a bit confused. Can the voice be same ? Or her doubts can go right also!

NK : Choti.. you know my situation na ? I m seriously trying to get a real competent job. I have to settle down first. I can attend my sister's wedding only as a very decent employee who can surely contribute my share to your marriage.

Lavanya joined the dots of not seeing Khushi's brother till date when they informed them that he left to Mumbai the next day after seeing Khushi.

Khushi : NK.. why are you so stubborn ? Dont you know Papa wasnt insulting you. He just wanted you to come up in life. Dont take it as a revenge.

NK : I know Khushi. This is not revenge. This is challenge not towards Papa but towards my life. I will win in this challenge no matter what. I will prove my ability to everyone..

Khushi :hmm thats the spirit bhai.. SO hows life? Are you getting good food there? You would be missing amma's food na..

Lavanya's face turned to emote anger and disappointment as the conversation was progressing. She somehow got some idea but wanted a proper confirmation.

NK : Thats ok chotti. I have good memories of you and ma.. thats enough to survive.

Khushi : Look thats so funny NK. When did you become so emotional and sentimental?

NK: ah.. I thought if I lie something like this you would immediately pack some food and send it through the next train to Mumbai for your lovely brother. Sigh.

Khushi : Enough NK.. you are really crazy.. wonder who is going to tolerate your till the lifetime.

NK : accha. I will hang up. Its already late. You go and sleep. I will call amma later. Give my regards to everyone.

Khushi: Sure you too take care. Bye...

After hanging up Khushi saw Lavanya in deep thoughts with a tension on her face.

Khushi : What happened Lavanya ? are you ok?

Lavanya : erm..yea. I m ok .. who is this bhabhi?

Khushi : Oops I forgot to introduce it to him.He is my lovely brother NK..

Lavanya : NK ?

Khushi : NK stands for Nandkishore..

Lavanya's heart skipped a beat hearing the name.. Nand KISHORE? She had to find out more on him. She didnt show any difference in her face ..

Lavanya : Where is he bhabhi?

Khushi : he is in Mumbai searching for a good job.

Lavanya : Bhabhi, if you dont mind can I get to see his picture, I mean I have not see him na.. I liked the bro sis talk which you had now. Just wanted to check how he looked.. Same like you or different look? Many say that I and Akash dont look alike but di and bhai look almost the same. So wanted to check yours and your brothers.

Khushi : oh sure Lavanya . wait.

Saying Khushi took a photoframe from her desk which she had closed inside the draw to keep it safe during cleaning. She forgot to put it back but since Lavanya wished to see the pic she took out so that she can place it back on its place.

Lavanya closed her eyes as her tears couldnt stop its flow. What she feared should not happen has happened. She so wished not to see his face again but fate has made him her own relative. Her brother's own brother in law. She was broken down into pieces when she learnt that Nand Kishore was him ..,, her KISHORE. Khushi was checkign her mobile to receive a call from Arnavji while Lavanya left the room without Khushi noticing her.

Khushi immediately got a beep in her mobile. A message from Arnavji.She suspected that there would a message from his end as it is already late and he had called once.

"Sorry Khushi. Got held up in work. Wanted to talk to you badly but sad cant. Dont worry. You take rest. I will call you at my night time. Take care...Let me look at your photos before talking to you.. bye and loads of what we share in the end of our talk.. "

Khushi had a deep blush at the thought of what they share at the end of their talk. He was very nice to write about the kisses in such a modest way. She had a frown for not able to talk to him before sleeping but was calm that she got the message that he is fine and he is busy. She replied back " Its ok Arnavji. Take care of your health. Will wait for your call in the morning bye.. and returning back the same which u gave me in loads" She smiled at the reply to herself and waited for Lavanya to come back to sleep.

Lavanya couldnt hold back her tears after getting inside the wash room.She started crying bitterly for the happenings. Her Kishore who had cheated her was Khushi's brother ?Why did he do that? Why did he cheat her ? Why did he lie that he was a son of a millionaire? Why did he leave without clarifying anything in person. She was so firm that she was not sparing him so fast. She wanted to take revenge on him for cheating her. She could understand now that he was hiding from her all these days just to save his sister's marriage. She was firm that she could not let his wish happen so fast. She was sure that her one phone call is enough to stop this marriage. But in between her thoughts and agitations inside her mind which came out her sobs, two faces came in between. Her bhai and Khushi..What did they do wrong here? They are really innocent to what had happened between her and Kishore. True that it was becasuse of Kishore that she got trapped in a big trouble but now the only saviour is Khushi. How can she neglect showing gratitude towards Khushi for that ? How can she forget that her brother was so much in love with Khushi. Khushi also loves him to the core and her one decision would affect four lives. She thought about the family who would suffer hearing all this. Khushi would be at loss at the end. She was the one who is saving her and helping her out by making her stay with her. Now how can he ignore her help ? Just because her brother committed the mistake can she take the revenge on the innocent sister? She got really confused but in the end concluded one thing. She had two options. Either to blurt out the truth where by no one would find happiness instead leading to chaos and break up of relationships or remain quiet which would lead to happiness everywhere except in her life. She decided to follow the later because she didnt want to sacrifice her bhai and Khushi's life for her own selfishness. She composed herself and determined that she would never let out the truth until it comes out itself just for Khushi.

Khushi was drwosing on the bed when Lavanya came inside. She could see how peacefully she was sleeping with her dreams on her bhai, her shaadi which should never be shaken or destroyed as it would lead to a mental trauma. Lavanya prayed before devimayya and went to sleep just to erase the whole matter from her life just for other's sake.

Abhay was pacing up and forth in Arnav's room when he entered. Arnav was happy to find out how Abhay was acting as if he was in deep thinking. Arnav got in and removed his shoes and tie. He just gave a naughty smirk at Abhay...Akshay, Tanish & Kunal came in follwing Arnav.. They were holding some pizzas and soft drinks when they also witnessed the scene.

Arnav : what happened Abhi ???

Abhay didnt answer and continued his posture.

Akshay :Hey Abhay looks like your titanic is sinking.. Do you want my help ? Any problem with your girl friends?

Tanish : Then he can easily forget his girl friends. Akshay will make sure that those girls will call him instead of Abhi.

Kunal : Hey is any thing serious ?What happened to him boss?

Abhay : Can you guys just stop it ? Let me think about this.. this is my life.

Arnav came near him and held him by his shoulders turned him to face him.

Arnav: What s the problem?

Abhay hugged him like a small baby

Abhay : Arnie, mumma is going to fix my marriage yaar. She has already selected the girl also.

Arnav : Wow. Thats a good news buddy. Im very happy for you. Where is the girl from ?

Abhay : where else ? Our lucknow only..

Arnav broke the hug and quesioned him..

Arnav: Are you scared of this lifetime commitment now?

Abhay : You know Im not interested in marriage. She is sort of fixing it now.To top it all do you know whats the dangerous factor now ?

Arnav : What ? Does she know your ex and present relationships or something ?

Abhay : Not that yaar. The girl mumma has selected is studying in college. Her father is in the police, if they ever come across the news that I have girlfriends here Im sure going to get hanged for that. That means no chance of me getting involved in such relationships..

Arnav and his colleagues bursted out of laughter. Truely mocking it was but they couldnt control themselves.

To be continued..

PRECAP

Khushi : Arnavji , are you angry with me ?

Arnav was silent for a while. Khushi got tensed a bit.

Khushi : Arnavji .. I ..

Arnav : Khushi I will talk to you later bye.
