Chapter 7

Shree stops at the entrance of the room, a lump in his throat. He could see how Riya already made this room her own. He recognized the dress she must have worn before the lehenga, her bangles on the dressing table. Hearing Hari Prakash call his name, he got out of his daze and nodded his thanks to Hari Prakash. Since this was an attempted murder case, so the crime investigation was only limited to the crime scene. Arjun Sir told him to check Riya's room for any clues pertaining to the investigation. Switching on his body camera, he connected it to Arjun and Chotu's mobile so they can see what he sees. However, Rathore and Ayesha's mobiles are coming as not available. They can see the video later on since the video will also be on the drive.

Shree first started with Riya's suitcase. It looked like a typical suitcase of a girl filled with dresses and lehengas for the function. Removing all the dresses, he searched for the zip that he knows connects to the secret compartment in the suitcase. Before he could find the zip however, a beep came from the phone. Shree stiffened. He knows that beep. He has heard several times in many crime scenes. Slowly, he straightens himself, and removes his phone and checks it. He widens his gaze as if he is shocked at the message and moves out of the room. Closing the door, he then walks to the living room and hears 3 more beeps on the way. Pausing in front of the living room, his contemplation is interrupted, when someone said "Hello Hi Bye Bye. Looking up he sees the women, he recognizes as ASR Mami as gaudily dressed, his gaze decreasing because of the colour present on her.  But before he could open her mouth, he heard a scream saying "No Dadi.

Turning he saw Dadi pulling Khushi by the arm to the entrance with Nani and Di following behind to pleading her to let Khushi go. Turning, she jerks Khushi to the entrance and said "You no longer have a place in this house. Leave now.

Nani holds Dadi's arm and said "What are you saying Subhedra? Khushi is Raizada'a bahu and Chotry's wife. She has a right in this house. Dadi said "Kalyani, would you want your grandson in a loveless marriage with an uneducated girl or would you want your grandson to live in a marriage with someone who is equal in status with him education wise and status wise also?. Di said "What are you saying Dadi? Chotey loves Khushiji.

Dadi shook her head and said "No, Chotey is only with Khushi out of obligation not out of love. In fact I can prove that he does not love Khushi at all.

"No, A quiet voice said. Turning everyone sees Khushi who for the first time stares at Dadi with resoluteness, determination and something which makes Shree wary. She looks like a person who is ready to go to war. Khushi said, the steel present in her voice "Arnavji loves me. Dadi sneers at her "Foolish girl, you think you can trap my grandson into a marriage. But I know my grandson and I know girls like you. He is too smart to be trapped in this marriage. In fact he has already confessed his love for someone else. Di asked "Who?. Dadi looks at Di and said "Lavanya.

She then takes out a video camera and said "And that confession is taped in this video camera. She turns to the tv and spotting NK, gives him to plug the video camera in. As the tape progressed, everyone's eyes widen. No one notices Arnav entering the house and seeing them gathered around the tv. Curious to see what was going on, he comes near the tv and eyes widen as he sees what it really is. As the video finishes, everyone stays in shock. And then a loud slap is heard, and Dadi holds her red cheek in shock.
