SACRED KNOT (Completed✔️)

18 Cause

"Yeah... this is how she is responding to her Father also"

Khushi looked here and there.

"Where is Nanne?"

"Until a few minutes ago, he was here only... don't know where he went"

..............

NK came to the terrace to take some fresh air. That was when he got a call from his friend. He attended it while walking on the terrace. His phone switched off as there was no charge. NK was about to get off the stairs, he stopped listening to someone murmuring. He sharpened his ear and heard. It was Radhika's voice. He sat on the stairs and slowly got down from the stairs one by one, in the sitting position.

"Why did you call me?" Radhika asked looking here and there.

"....."

"We are not in the guest house now... we shifted to RM again"

"......."

"No... not yet... Khushi came back to RM"

"........"

"No, Khushi is still angry with Arnav... they have not patched up yet"

"........."

"No... don't you dare think of coming to RM. I don't want Arnav to suspect us"

"........."

"Of course, he had not seen you before. Yet, I don't want to take the risk"

"..........."

"How much money will you expect from me? What you did is a simple thing"

"........"

"I will definitely settle your money when Arnav and Kiran's wedding happens. Until then, don't disturb me..."

NK gritted his teeth. Getting Kiran married to Arnav? Damn these women... this was what their plan was? He was hell frustrated.

"......"

"No. this time, we don't need your help... I don't want you to get involved in this matter again. I will do it in another way. Then, no one will doubt us... this Arnav brought a troop to RM to fuss us" she said annoyingly.

"....."

"I will call you if we need your help."

"...."

"Ok..."

Radhika disconnected the call and went inside. NK stood up and came to Manorama's room.

"Where were you Nanne?" Khushi asked.

"He is getting bored that's why he should have gone out," Manorama said.

NK locked the door from inside. He came to Manorama and sat next to her.

"Mom, I was on the terrace"

"Oh... Is the terrace blowy?" Manorama asked.

"I heard something"

"What did you hear?"

"Radhika is planning to get Kiran married to Arnav"

"Whaaaat?" Khushi was shocked.

"She was talking with someone about it... I myself heard it, Khushi"

"I'm sure they must be the reason for your separation," Manorama said wrathfully.

"Yes, Mom... these women are not what Khushi is thinking. They are very dangerous... and a third person is also involved in their separation. She asked him not to come to RM"

"But no one ever come to RM to meet them when I was here," Khushi said.

"Yes, Khushi, she said the person never met Arnav before. It seems they planned it well and implemented it when you guys were emotionally weak by Anu's death..." NK said.

"Khushi, we should not wait for anything... just ask Arnav bituwa to throw them out of RM"

"No aunty... let them be here..."

Manorama and NK spared a glance shockingly.

"I won't let them go easily... they should know what will happen if they mess with Khushi," she said wrathfully.

They nodded ok.

"Thank God, you are here with me... I believe we will make them spit the truth"

"Definitely, Khushi... but we should not be careless nor should we underestimate them..." Manorama said.

"How could we underestimate them? They made me not only leave RM but made me hate Arnavji... they should be taught a lesson..." Khushi said.

"Don't know what kind of people they are... Arnav bituwa give them shelter. Instead of showing their gratitude, they broke his home and tried to take his wife's place"

"Aunty, Arnavji should not know this"

"But why?"

"He will shoot them with a single bullet and finish their story. It should not happen"

"What about Aman?" NK asked.

"I don't think he will hide anything from Arnavji"

"I will deal with him... leave it on me. we will tell him the truth only if he is ready to join hands with us" Manorama said.

Khushi and NK nodded ok.

"Khushi, don't show your anger on your face... just handle them coolly even though it's not easy," NK said.

"I will try"

"We should keep our full concentration on them. Nothing should go wrong"

They heard a knock on the door.

"Be casual..." NK said and opened the door.

They saw Aman standing. He understood by seeing the closed door that they were talking something secretly.

"Bhabi, ASR is calling you," Aman said.

Composing herself, Khushi nodded ok and went to their room with Anu. She tried hard not to show Arnav that she was disturbed. She was playing with Anu and Anu's eyes were on Arnav. After a while, Anu pulled Khushi's saree pallu as she was hungry. Taking Anu on her lap, Khushi started feeding her, thinking about what to do. As usual, Anu started playing but in a different way. She bit Khushi while having milk and Khushi hissed.

"Anuuuu...." She shouted.

Anu jerked and looked at Khushi fearfully because Khushi never yelled at her. Anu closed her half face with Khushi's saree and looked at Khushi frightfully.

"I told you not to bite Mumma... don't I?" Khushi asked extending her index finger.

Anu got down from Khushi's lap and sat on the bed. She flipped her lip miserably as Khushi didn't console her. Arnav rushed to them.

"Khushi, she is a kid... what does she know about pain? This is not done Khushi... look at her face..."

Sitting on the bed, Arnav pulled Anu toward him. In no time, Anu circled his neck and cried on his shoulder. Arnav got stuck for a while and hugged his baby with pleasure, having a mild smile on his face. Khushi smirked at him making him wonder.
