Arnav suspects Khushi

ARNAV'S ROOM

Arnav is looking at the folder. It had all her education details, Bank details, Adhar, Pan, Resume. He is reading it

Personal details

Name – Khushi G

Father's Name – Late Shashi G

Mother's Name – Late Garima Shashi G

Siblings – One elder twin sister (Aashi G)

Marital Status - Married

Arnav (in mind) – Her parents are dead? What is this G? Twin Sister? Is G for Gupta? I am married to her sister. Let me try Lawyer Mahesh uncle's (He tries but no luck) Where did this Mahesh uncle vanish? he use to nag about the marriage all the time. Now there is no news of him. What is happening around me? Let me call Aman.(Dials Aman)

Aman – Hi ASR

Arnav – What did you find about her?

Aman – Her? Who?

Arnav – You had called me to tell something about her parents...now asking who?

Aman – Oh Bhabhi?

Arnav – Aman.... just tell me what it is....

Aman – Both of your parents were killed to avoid the marriage happening between you and Bhabhi.

Arnav – Hmmm

Aman – That call you got is fake. That was from a close range, how could she call you from close range when her parents were dead in Bangalore? The details of the call was erased from everywhere possible. ASR this doesn't look simply. Most important thing the surname Gupta is not used for their daughters. Even parents did not us Gupta hide the identity. Only very close one knew their real identity Even with all this alertness killings happened.

Arnav – I am sending you details of Di's caretaker. Just find if she is from same family. And, if there is any threat from her to any of us. Till this get confirmed I am not stepping out of the house. My head is blasting from the time I saw her.

Aman – Anything wrong ASR?

Arnav – That photo which dad had sent is of her's Aman. But she did not recognise me. Either she doesn't know who I am, or she should be brilliant actress.

Aman – Ok ASR. You will have the confirmation by Monday morning.

Arnav – I am waiting Aman

NEXT DAY MORNING

Arnav gets up and looks at phone. There is a message from Aman he opens it and read.

Arnav – ASR she is Bhabhi's younger twin sister. (Photo of twins attached one with glass the other without). (Thinks in mind) So this is my sister-in-law. Does she know? Is this a plan? I should be careful

Khushi got up early morning. Having bath she went to pooja room, finished her prayer and took Sindhur from Puja thali then put it on her partition. She was about to go kitchen and heard paperboy dropping newspapers... She walked to door and collected them... Khushi chose a random newspaper sat down on Sofa to see her daily horoscope ...It was her teenage habit ... She started reading...

Khushi – It's a good day for you, someone special will be coming into your life and will change your life ... Your day will start seeing face of someone you love the most .... (Khushi folded papers happily) Wah Khushi at least horoscope has some good things for you.

She hears Arnav's footsteps as he came home from his morning jog. She just looked at him from the corner of eye

Arnav - HP..HP... Newspaper !!!...

Khushi jerked up to hear Arnav voice... She kept papers on telephone table and was about to move away before Arnav came down ... but in hurry she moved in opposite direction colliding with Arnav and they both fall. It was the first time Arnav looked at her so close and it was perfect Rabba ve moment...but Arnav recovers soon and gets up ignoring Khushi

Arnav - HP !!! where the hell are newspapers???

Khushi – on the Table (she said in a shivering voice and points at papers.... Arnav pulls her up squeezing her elbow. She felt like electrocuted. This was a similar touch she felt when the groom had held her from behind to offer rice grains to havan during marriage. She just looking at him without any reaction. He is shouting)

Arnav – Did I ask you?. (Seeing Khushi silent he roars again) Are you HP?....look just be Di's caretaker nothing else...(leaves her hand picks up papers and walk away)

Khushi (In mind) – Why does he shout at me always? Why did I feel the touch similar to my husband (rubs her elbow and moves to kitchen)

ARNAV'S ROOM

Arnav – Why such things happen to me?....I am just not able to tolerate this unwanted Saali (Sister in law) of mine..... just go away Khushi...I was so much at peace in London.

The fall...The feel of her skin....the way she looked at him was creating some unknown feeling inside him.He slowly walks towards window reading the paper and when looks out randomly . He saw Khushi meeting a guy and gets suspicious. He throws the paper and runs out thinking in mind

Arnav – Will find out your real motive now... you can't escape if you have some evil plans

Arnav stood behind the pillar keeping a distance so that none of them could see him... He was not able to hear their words but was observing Khushi's body language... Khushi joined her hands and most probably requesting the man standing before her....

Arnav - What the!!!! Why is she pleading that man ???Who is he ???(He went few steps ahead but still couldn't hear anything.... Arnav became more curious to know and mostly frustrated that he couldn't guess anything) What does she need??

Then saw Khushi remove one of her bangle and give that man .. then again requested him and then man spoke something and left. Khushi stood there for couple of minutes. Arnav could see she was crying, he felt bad to see her like that...He had no idea as to why her pain pricked him. Khushi wiped her tears rushed inside.... Arnav thought something and quickly got into his car and drove fast. He was looking for that man and spotted him walking somewhere. Arnav stopped the car near him and gestured him to come close. That man walked Arnav's side and bent down keeping his head on Arnav's level.

Man - Ji, Sir did you call me?

Arnav - Why did the lady called you? what she wants??? (Man thought for couple of seconds)

Man – Who? Which lady

Arnav – The lady with whom you just spoke ..What she was saying ? She gave you her bangle...for what reason?

Man - Why should I tell you??? Who are you?? Her husband?

Arnav - None of your business ... just reply to me

Man - Listen Sir., I won't tell you anything... (before he could finish Arnav offered him some money)

Arnav - Now you should be able to tell (That man smiles sheepishly taking the money)

Man - That lady is trying to find someone's husband... I work at marriage registrar's office... So, she requested me if I could help her to find out that man ....

Arnav - Whom??

Man - Someone named Aashi G and her husband.... Sir you tell me... She tells Aashi is her sister... but she doesn't know anything about her own brother in law...I asked for a photo...she doesn't have that .. But poor girl looked very sad... That's why I am trying to help her will try and do what I can.

Arnav – Ok thanks... (Thinks, pulls a cheque and writes amount and extends it to that man) take this and give me the bangle.... (man takes the cheque and returns the bangle) you can leave now, thanks (Takes the bangle and drives the car. Arnav was beyond shocked to know that Khushi was searching for him)

Arnav (to himself) - Why the hell is she trying to find me? What does she want? So, she is desperate to find me... Is that for why she came here ?? ... Why is she working here then? What's going on ?? Does she want to reunion me with her sister... need to find out...

He come back home in a filthy mood went straight to his room...tried to concentrate on work but again thought "why is Khushi searching him?".

DINING TABLE

Nani, Anjali and Arnav are quietly having breakfast.

Arnav (in mind) – What is her problem...I am just not able to understand her motive in to find me...that too through register office. She is unaware my power...though my parents had registered my marriage before rituals...I have ensured it doesn't reach anyone.... but need to find out what is the matter at least. Even I haven't seen the certificate.

Anjali breaks the silence

Anjali – Chote NK is coming (Arnav blows the water that he was drinking)

Arnav – No way.... Di.... don't want one more headache.

Anjali - It will be so much fun to watch you both fight. HP... where is Khushi? call her for breakfast.

HP – Ji Didi

Arnav - Di. she is your caretaker not family member... so you need have control on your emotions towards her...

Nani - Chote.. why you're so harsh toward Khushi?

Arnav – Nani you guys need to understand she isn't anyone special to be treated in different way than the other workers in the house... I don't like to be close with employees. It will make them forget their limit. You both better keep it in your mind.

Anjali - Chote do you know how good she is..

Arnav - She is paid salary to be good Di (Arnav was about to get up pushing plate but Anjali held his hands)

Anjali - ok.. fine.. have your food .. we won't irritate you anymore...

Arnav - Thanks... I'm done..

He walks to the stairs to go to his room and see Khushi who was standing there with tears. She heard the whole conversation between Anjali and Arnav. Arnav ignores her and walks away. Khushi wipes her tears. Anjali notices Khushi and calls her.

Anjali – Khushi come let's have breakfast. (Khushi comes close and pass the morning tablets) you are so punctual.

Khushi – This is my job Anjali ji... (Smiles and takes plate and fills her breakfast) Anjali ji you need to rest after breakfast.

Anjali – Where are you going?

Khushi – I need to make some changes to your routine as doctor changed some medicine after you complained about allergy. Will do that and eat in room.

Anjali – Ok... I will be here for some time and come to your room.

Khushi - Ji....

She goes to room. Poolside curtain was open Arnav was watering plants. He saw her with breakfast plate in room. She closes the curtain as she did not want one more taunt from him. She eats her breakfast.
