Khushi reached buaji's house and rang the door bell,

Buaji: hai re nand kishore sanka devi kya hai

Khushi: buaji, I need the papers I gave u

Garima: what papers

Buaji: (looked suspicious) nothing garima she is talking about the news paper

Garima: what u don't the news paper in shantivaan

Buaji: oho sanka devi, see u have confused ur mother, (turning to garima) there was an ad in the paper for a sale and I kept the cutting with me

Garima oh

Khushi sighed in relief

Biaji: parmeshwari, don't stand there come with me I will give u the cutting

Khushi nodded and followed her, on reaching room buaji shut the door

Buaji: khushi tell me the truth now

Khushi: buaji, please give the paper, I have no time I promise u whatever it is it'll be ok as soon as the papers are handed over to concerned person

Buaji: sanka devi I don't know what ur up to but please be careful please

She hand over the papers to her, khushi said bye to the 3 of them and then left in a hurry, she reached home it was around 1:00 she ran to shyams and anjili's room they were sitting on the bed, she barged in not realizing that she had invaded their privacy,

Anjili: what happened khushiji is everything ok

Khushi: (fumbled) ya di , ever... everything is fine

Shyam looked at her and smiled, he saw the papers in her hands

Shyam: rani sahiba, khushiji I think came to ask if we need lunch

Khushi: ya... ya di, do u want lunch

Anjili: (startled) oh.. khushiji, no I am not hungry

Shyam: rani sahiba, what is this, u have to eat

Anjili: I know for the baby, but I am generally not hungry, can I eat in a bit

Khushi: ok di no problem, I will come later

Saying this she walked out silently, and headed to her room, and then shyam also made an excuse and followed her to her room, they were in the pool side area; parisha was on the side watching the confrontation like a silent spectator

Shyam: khushiji, good u are here, come on give me the papers

Khushi: (annoyed) I will give u the papers, but u promise to keep the end of ur bargain

Shyam: oho khushiji, have faith in me, I will take u to him,

Khushi hesitantly handed him the papers and he skimmed through it to make sure the work was done, once he was done, he smiled and said

Shyam: thank u so much khushiji, u made my life easier,

Khushi: u got what u wanted now take me to him

Shyam: (smiled) khushiji, what makes u think I got what I wanted, I didn't get what I want

Khushi: (confused) what do u mean??

Shyam: I wanted u and I didn't get u so why should I take u to him

Khushi: (furious) shyamji stop this nonsense, we have been over this, I am his wife, I belong only to him, no one else but him,

Shyam: (angry on hearing this) he doesn't love u, he hates u, he said this himself, then why do u want to go back to a man like that, I will take good care of u, and I will give u all the comforts, now that I have the money

Khushi: what money

Shyam: don't look so innocent, khushiji, u only helped me in this, u see these papers this is the power of attorney, to AR industries, this is arnavs will, which I made changes to and put his entire property on my name, what did he think that he could get away and not give me anything, how there he do that, all the money was on that b$#*#s name,

Khushi: (shocked at what she heard) how could u do this, they gave u everything, u don't deserve what they gave u, and u back stabbed them so badly, how could u, ur the most disgusting man I have ever seen shyam, arnavji has worked so hard to bring his company to this level, and u are taking it all away from him by manipulating his family and me, how dare u

Shyam: (anger rising held her tightly from her shoulders) u only see his hard work, and what about mine, I did so much for u, I love u and all u can see is him and anjili, khushiji, I was willing to give my life up for u and I still am, and all u care for is him,

Khushi: (freed her herself from his grip) I will never love u, and I am glad I found out ur true nature, ur not worth love, and how dare u touch me

Shyam: and when he touches u like this its fine, at that time u don't tell him anything, so why me, and he doesn't even treat u right so why do u let him touch u like that

Khushi: (looked into his eyes and yelled with all her anger) because he is my husband and he has all the right to touch me, (she clutched her mangal sutra tightly)

Shyam was shocked she had never yelled like that before at him, with so much anger even when she found out about the truth he got slapped but she wasn't so angry, but that didn't seem to bother him too much

Khushi: take me to him now

Shyam: no khushiji, I wont once I get these papers submitted then only will I take u to him

Khushi: (eyes wide) u got what u wanted now take me to him

Shyam: no way khushiji,

Khushi was about to speak when parisha walked in and started talking

Parisha: (casually) hey guys whats up

Khushi and shyam on seeing her straightened up and put a smile on their face

Shyam: Sali sahiba, nothing how come u are here

Parisha: (raised eye brows) funny don't u think I should ask u that, this is my brothers room, and as far as I know khushi bhabhi's as well so what are u doing her jijaji

Shyam: (hesitated) uh nothing, Sali sahiba

Parisha: so u got the papers u need from bhabhi

Both khushi and shyam looked stunned on how parisha knows about the papers, shyam tried to react khushi remained silent

Shyam: (fumbling) pap...papers??

Parisha: u only were asking khushi bhbahi if u got the papers so... did u get them?? (she questioned)

Shyam: uh... uh ya I did

Parisha: o..ok, by the way what papers are they?? (she looked at shyam)

Shyam: uh woh a uh some office documents thats all

Parisha: cool ok, bhabhi I am here to take u with me (she turned to khushi)

Khushi: where pari

Parisha: I want to go shopping, payal bhabhi and di are busy, so I asked nani and she said that I can take u with me, so can u come with me if u don't mind

Khushi: ya sure        

Both the girls walked by as shyam followed them out, they went down

Nani: pari u and khushi are going shopping

Parisha: ya nani we are

Khushi: (sad) nani, pari is it ok if we go some other time I mean, I don't feel good

Anjili and nani went and sat next to her and consoled her they knew she was worried for arnav

Anjili: (smiled) khushi u should go, trust me I no ur worried but this will take ur mind of things,

Nani: khushi betiya anjili betiya is right go, u will feel better

She looked at both their face and had no choice but to agree, so she and pari left for shopping, they sat in the car and khushi and pari got talking, khushi was curious and so she asked pari

Khushi: pari if u don't min d can I ask

Pari: what is it bhabhi, all ok

Khushi: pari how did u know about the papers

Pari: (smiled) I was waiting for u to ask me that u no, anyway I knew about the papers because I heard ur conversation with him, I hid behind the wall when u were talking o him

Khushi: (shocked) u heard the conversation

Pari: ya I did, and I know shyam has bhaya in his custody,

Khushi: (she held pari's hand) pari u cant tell anyone they will be worried, we have to keep it a secret, shyam is playing dirty tricks with us

Pari: (assuring) relax bhabhi chill I know, not a soul will know about this, but what are we going to do,

Khushi: (worried) I don't know, i thought he would tell me if I did his work but he didn't, I am getting very nervous

Pari: bhabhi I have a plan

Khushi: (looked up) what plan

Pari: lets follow him, he will go back to his hide out and if we follow him we can surly find arnav bhaya

Khushi: but..but pari

Pari: bhabhi it's a full proof plan, I am with u, from now on ur not alone

Khushi smiled and hugged pari tightly while pari consoled her,

Khushi: ok lets do it,

Pari turned the car around and they went back home and started to follow shyam, they quietly sneaked back into the house, and saw shyam was in the passage talking on the phone, anjili was in her room, pari and khushi listened to his conversation,

Shyam: I have the papers in my hands can I come to the registrar's office now to submit them,........ oh I see.... So when will it be feasible for me to come.... On 23 may, oh I see that's 8 days from now, ok fine thank you bye...(he put down the phone)

Pari and khushi looked at each other, he was about to walk away when he got another phone call, he picked it up and started talking

Shyam: what is it, I have told u not to call me.... Hmm I am coming, there is no need to tolerate his medical condition if he faints let him faint

On hearing this khushi was about to go and shout at him but parisha pulled her and they listened further

Shyam: I have the papers, after 8 days I have an appointment with the court, and then we can get rid of him,..... I am coming now to break the news to him..(he disconnected the phone)
