Part5

Buaji smiled seeing Shyam as usual. Shyam handed her Lucknow sweets.

"How are you Babua? Where were you suddenly disappeared?" Buaji asked.

Making a sad face, Shyam said,

"What to say Buaji, I was distraught because Khushiji denied marrying me. I thought I can make Babuji happy by marrying Khushiji. But...."

"You don't have to worry about it Babuwa. She got a very good alliance"

"Alliance?" Shyam almost shouted.

"Not only Khushi but also Payal."

"What do you mean?"

"They got proposals from a RICH family. They are going to marry brothers" Buaji said proudly.

" Buaji... I can't believe this... did you agree to it? Have you forgotten me? Don't you know how much I like Khushiji? I thought you will keep your words. You disappointed me. I didn't expect you would also be fond of money. As you have gotten a rich proposal you have thrown me out." He said angrily.

" I thought you will become happy"

Shyam composed himself. He should not react like his. He has to move the coin cleverly. He should not forget that still, there is a chance to get Khushi.

"Yes, I'm... because you didn't tell me about it"

"I wanted to. But..."

"Leave it Buaji... tell me about the family. I will inquire about them"

"You no need to do it because they are none other than Raizadas"

"Whaaaat? Raizadas?" Shyam's shock was not estimated.

"Haan... Arnav is for Khushi and Akash is for Payal"

"Have you lost your mind Buaji? Don't you know how cunning they are? Mamiji will not let Payalji be peaceful with Akash. And Arnav Singh Raizada....do you forget, how he tortured Khushiji? He made her life hell Buaji. Anjali also forced Khushi to take a class for Lavanya. They are rich in money. But by heart.... they are NIL. I can't understand how you agreed to this marriage."

"No babuva... their Nani and Mami themselves came with the proposals."

"I think they have some intention behind it"

"What do you mean?"

"Who knows what's there in their filthy mind?. Rich people can do anything for their benefit. They will even kill our girls. Who could question them? Just think Buaji, won't they get girls for their sons? I strongly suspect that there is a reason behind this marriage. I know Arnav Singh Raizada hates low-class people."

"How do we know about their intention, Babua?" She asked worriedly.

"Give me some time. I will find it out. Until then, don't fix the marriage"

"They also asked us time as Anjali's husband is in Lucknow. They will start the marriage preparation only after his arrival it seems"

Shyam Smirked. So, it's in his hands only.

"Babua, they said, Anjali's husband is also a lawyer, and his name is also Shyam. Do you know him?" Buaji asked innocently.

"Buaji... there are thousands of lawyers in Delhi. Don't know where he registered his name"

"Ohh..." Buaji said as if she understood everything.

"I'm leaving, Buaji"

"Where are you staying?"

"I'm staying with my friend. Where orphan like me could go Buaji?"

"I'm sorry Babua, NandKishor will make everything right"

She said sadly.

"Convey my wishes to Khushiji"

"She and Payal went to the temple with Garima."

Shyam nodded yes and left.

.....

Akash and NK were annoyed as they got stuck in the traffic. That's when Akash got Arnav's call.

"Have you guys reached GH?"

"We got stuck in the traffic Bhai"

"What happened?"

"It's an accident here"

"Then come back. We will go tomorrow"

"WE? Bhai?"

Arnav rolled his eyes.

"Come fast"

"I will have lunch in RM and come as it's already lunchtime"

"Ok fine" Arnav disconnected the call.

Akash looked at NK and cried, removing his specs.

"Please don't cry Akash"

"How could I? Do you know how deeply Di is in love with that man? How could he think of cheating her? Di will shatter if she gets to know his true face." he cried.

"It seems, Guptas also believe him," NK said sadly.

"Even we missed understanding him, NK. Even ASR... The man who writes his destiny. he is that good at cheating" he punched the steering wheel.

"But why did you stop me, when I tried to get inside of the GH. we should have finished the issue right away?"

"He looks very dangerous. He is playing a double game with us. Don't know what's there in his mind. We shouldn't do anything in haste. We can't break Di... and also marriages."

"Means, won't you tell anyone about him?"

"NO"

"Then what will you do?"

"I won't do anything. ASR will teach him a lesson. I want that cheap creature to see the beast in ASR" he said gritting his teeth.

AR

Arnav was looking at a file. He took the receiver as the phone rang.

"Hello," he said flipping the paper.

"ASR...."

"Yeah..."

"You write your destiny. But your Jeejaji is scratching in your Di's destiny"

"Who is this?"

"Is it even important ASR? Shyam Manohar Jha is cheating on your sister. He even tried to marry another girl. God saved her from him. You save your sister if you can... without hurting her"

The call got disconnected.

Nervousness occupied Arnav to the fullest. He won't get nervous if it is not about his Di. Who is he? What he said can be true? What will be Anjali's condition if it is true? But why does someone lie... that too directly to him? Doesn't the person know who ASR is? He should have known that's why he is warning him. He was right. Anjali will get hurt. Arnav was sweating badly. He fisted his fingers thinking about Shyam and also Anjali.

Who is the girl he wants to marry? How did she get saved from the marriage? Who is she? This is why he always stayed out in the excuse of CASE?

He dialled Aman.

"Yes, ASR"

"Aman I want A to Z details of Shyam Manohar Jha... past to present... I want to know where he goes, where he stays, whom he meets. I want all the past six months' details of the cases he attended. Is that clear?"

"Yes ASR"

"As much as possible"

He disconnected the call.

RM

Anjali frowned, keeping her phone in her ear, hearing,

"Are you sure that your husband is not in Delhi?"

"Haan... he is in Lucknow," Anjali said.

"Ohh really? There are many APPs available to find locations. Just download it and find your husband's location. Then you will get to know where he is. Trusting someone blindly who gives excuses and stays out of the house, may hurt you more Mrs Jha"

The call got disconnected.

Anjali looked at the phone angrily. Who the hell is he? What does he know about Shyamji? He went to Lucknow for a case. Doesn't she know about him? She gulped the tears which were trying to roll out of her eyes.

She saw Akash and NK coming. She composed herself. She was shocked when she heard their talk.

"No no it can't be Jeejaji," Akash said.

"Arrey Akash, I'm sure he is Jeejaji. Don't I know Jeejaji?" NK argued.

"What are you talking about?" Anjali asked panicking.

"We see a man who looked exactly like Jeejaji but Akash is not admitting"

"Arrey yaar, I agree he looked like our Jeejaji, doesn't mean he can be our Jeejaji because he is in Lucknow."

"He might have come back to Delhi"

"If he is in Delhi why he has not come home?" Akash asked.

"I don't know about it but the man we had seen is our Jeejaji. I have no doubt." NK said firmly and fell on the couch.

Anjali was looking at him widening her eyes. Her hands were shivering thinking about the CALL as Akash and NK's statement also matches the call. She was horrified what if the caller is right?
