Part 6
Khushi went to GH for Pagphere with buaji. Shyam saw her going and then went to Anjali.
Anjali was lying in the bed. She smiled and sat up when she saw Shyam.
Anjali - " So u have come?"
Shyam - "Yes Rani sahiba! How can I stay away from U for long?"
Anjali smiled and Shyam gave her the medicine. She took her medicine and then Shyam looked around the room as if looking for something.
Anjali saw him.
Anjali ' " What r u looking for?"
Shyam ' "Rani Sahiba I am looking for the wooden cradle that I had brought for my baby princess. "
Anjali looked really sad.
Anjali '"The family members got it removed when'.."
Shyam pressed her hand and nodded. He hugged Anjali but looked relieved. He was happy that they removed the cradle. Now no one would find the will, which was hidden in the cradle. If anyone found the will they would come to know that Shyam was planning to get Arnav's property and then everyone would believe Khushi. The family members believed Khushi to some extent but since she could give no proof during the confrontation they could not be sure. He could make use of this doubt and win them over but if they found the will everything would come out in the open.
Unaware of Shyam's plan Khushi reached Gupta house. She rushed to amma's room and found her sitting on the bed. Her face was all swollen. She had been crying the whole night. Even now there were tears in her eyes. She wiped the tears as she saw Khushi. Khushi went and hugged her.
Garima ' " How r u my child?"
Khushi ' " Iam okay but how r u amma?"
Taers started falling from Garima's eyes. Shashi and buaji were looking concerned.
Buaji ' " Hai re Nand Kisore! (to Khushi) She had been crying the whole night. (to Garima) now stop crying and tell us what happened all those years ago? I know there is some misunderstanding because I know u cannot do anything wrong. U married Shashi babua 17 years ago and the tragedy happened 14 years ago. That means u were already married to Shashi when the tragedy happened. U have been a good wife to Shashi babua. I know u couldn't betray Shashi babua."
Khushi ' " Yes amma! Even I believe that."
She held Garima's hand.
Garima ' " Please forgive me my child. The most beautiful day of ur life was spoiled because of my mistake."
Khushi ' " No amma please don't blame urself."
Garima ' " I am to be blamed for what happened but I had no choice. I did not want to lie but things were not in my control."
Khushi ' " Amma please tell me what happened all those years ago."
Garima nodded her head.
Garima ' " I will tell u the truth."
Garima started thinking about the past.
Garima ' "Khushi your grandfather i.e. your mother's and my father was a peon in Arnav's grandfather's office. Arnav's father's name was Paras Malik. I met Paras when I was 16 years old and he was 21. We fell in love. Your mother was 18 years old at that time.
Arnav's dadi came to know about our love and told my father about it. She told him that she could never accept a peon's daughter as her daughter in law. My father sent me away to my aunt's house in Mathura. My sister (your mother) used to write letters to me. In one of the letters she told me that after I was sent away Sumitra Devi got her son married to the daughter of her childhood friend. I cried for days. I was angry with my father and that is why I never came back, not even for the wedding of my dear sister. However with time I came to terms with the fact that Paras belonged to someone else but I did not marry. I learnt to sew and started working in a garments factory in Mathura. I stayed in Mathura for 16 years. In the mean time my sister told me that Paras had two kids. Then you were born after many years of my sister's marriage. But still I did not come back.
One day, after 16 years of my leaving Lucknow, I received a letter from ur mother that our father was ill. I came back. Our father was on his deathbed and he asked for forgiveness. I told him that I did not hold any grudge against him and I had got over Paras. He asked me to marry Shashiji. Shashiji was a widower and a friend of ur father. He had a daughter named Payal who was 6 years old, a year older than u. I agreed and married Shashiji. I told him everything about my past. After I married ur babuji my father died.
As time passed I fell in love with ur babuji and we were very happy. Ur father and ur babuji were great friends and we lived in the same locality. U became very close to Payal. U remember how u used to stay back with Payal for the night?"
Khushi smiled remembering those days and nodded.
Garima ' " 3 years passed in this way. Then one afternoon when ur babuji was at work I heard a knock at the door. When I opened the door I was shocked to see Paras's younger brother i.e., Arnav's chacha standing on the door. He came in and smiled at me. When I asked him what did he want he said that he wanted revenge.
He said that Arnav's father was looking after the whole business and Sumitra Devi considered her younger son useless and was about to disinherit him. When I asked him why had he come to me he said that he wanted to defame Paras. He said that Paras had ditched me and married another girl so if I helped him, I could also take revenge from Paras. HE said that if I made people believe that I was having an affair with Paras then his reputation would be spoiled and his personal llife would, also be ruined.
I knew Arnav's uncle.I knew that he was a good for nothing man. He had come to me because I had an affair with Paras 16 years ago. I told him to get lost. I told him that I didn't want any revenge and I was happy with my family. He then offered me money to do the job but this time I really got angry and threatened to tell Paras and Sumitra Devi everything. He got scared and asked me to forgive him and went away.
That night u came to stay with Payal. In the morning when I went to drop u home the door of ur house was open. When I entered the house I saw that the drawing room was in a mess. Many things were broken and it seemed as if some struggle had taken place in the room. Then I found a letter on the dining table. That letter was from Arnav's uncle. In the letter he had written that he had kidnapped ur mother and father and asked me to meet him a particular place which was usually deserted.
I left u at home with Payal and went to meet Arnav's Uncle. He told me that if I wanted to see my sister and brother in law alive I would have to go and meet Paras. He told me that I would have to keep Paras busy in some small talk till his wife came outside the door. He( Arnav's uncle) would make some excuse and send Paras's wife to the room where I would be meeting Paras. As soon as she came to the door I had to act as if I was fainting. Then I had to make it look like we were romantically involved.
Khushi u have to understand that I did not want to lie but I had no choice. I did it to save ur mother and father. However I could not save them. They tried to run away from the captivity and came under a speeding car and were killed. Arnav's parents committed suicide and I have never been able to forgive myself for that. I went to see Paras for the last time before his funeral. I wanted to tell the truth but I had no proof against Arnav's uncle and he had, also threatened me to kill u and Payal. I just kept quite but I told everything to ur babuji. However Sumitra Devi came to meet me after the tragedy and blamed me. I just kept quite because I had no proof and in a way I was responsible for the death of 2 innocent souls."
Khushi had tears in her eyes.
Khushi ' " Amma u r as innocent as Arnavji's parents. U did all that to save ur loved ones. I am sure that Arnavji would understand once he knows the truth."
Garima ' " Who will believe me?"
Khushi '"I believe u."
Buaji ' " I, also, believe u. Nand Kisore"
Khushi holds her amma's hands and presses them reassuringly.
Precap
Arnav is going to the main door with car keys in his hands.
