...Yours Truly (Completed)

YT Part 8

"Amma asked him about leaving us alone and let us go from there. But he bluntly rejected her saying that his men didn't find you all in Mumbai, because Amma gave him wrong information. She tried to make him agree, but he didn't. He said he should punish Amma and Bau Ji for misleading him. So, he started to create MU and distance between me and Amma, Bau Ji. He managed to spoil my mind telling lies about you all. He said you (She pointed Aran) are the reason for my Bau Ji's situation. He said your family was the reason for our problems. Somewhat I believed him, but still I felt there is something amiss. I was confused about how Chote Malik and his family can become that rude. I'm sorry for believing him for some time and little over you all. I think my heart knows that he is filling all lies. One day, when he went out of Lucknow, I got time to talk with my mother for long. That is the time; Amma told me everything about that heartless monster. I was really fought with her for supporting you all. She explained me and made me understand the things. She even bet me for accusing you" Khushi smiled little and continued

"That day I decided to pay him back for his deeds. He made us suffer a lot; he made me opposite to you all. I think I was 16 years that time when first time I heard him shouting at his men for not able to track you all. That was the first time I felt anger, hate, fear, desperateness and more all together at the same moment. I dared to ask him about his planning. I made him trust me that I hate you all and I believed him in your matter. He explained me and then I showed some loopholes in his plan. He was very much happy knowing that I'm willingly helping him to... to... I'm sorry... to kill you all. That time he asked me to stop going to school and learn about the law. He arranged two teachers for me to teach me both the criminal and civil laws. He never allowed me outside the house, saying the men out there are not good. They can harm the innocent girl like me"

"I knew that he is afraid thinking that I might meet you all and will come to know the truth. He wanted to use my brain. He used to say that I'm too intelligent and he wants my help in his business. I agreed whatever he says and I helped him completely with all his deeds and deals and business. I made him trust me completely. I helped him in finding you all. On the other side, I made a team with the people who suffered because of that man. I asked them to work for me to keep you all safe. I made Dhruv to believe that, those men are working in favour for him. He again trusted me. As I studied both the criminal and civil laws, I got to know how to do and what to do and what not. It helped me a lot. With the help of my team, I managed to inform Chote Malik whenever I got the information about Dhruv's plans which may lead to your loss."

"He started the game by using me and I want to end the game using him. But, things got changed and he got doubt about my intentions, my behaviour and my thoughts. So, he arranged few men to follow me wherever I go. I noticed this, but luckily I managed to shift Amma and Bau Ji to the place unknown to them. They followed me wherever I went. All the times except two, I managed to divert them. Those are the two times when I met you both (she said looking at Aman and Arnav) and gave you that information. Yesterday he came to know about my intentions completely. He asked his men to catch me and my family at any cost. So they did. After that you know whatever happened and we are here now..." Khushi stopped there telling about her past life to till day and looked at everyone who is watching her with wide eyes, teary eyes, angered eyes, lovable eyes and concerned eyes.

She smiled at everyone and said "We are fine now... Don't worry..." she assured them. Arnav hugged her tightly sideways

"We are lucky to have you all in our lives Choti. If you are not there I don't know what we would have done" everyone agreed with Arnav.

"Don't say that Chote Malik... you all are good people, nothing will happen to you. God always supports the good"

"What's going on there?" everyone looked at the source of sound. Khushi felt her anger rising every second after seeing the only person she hates – Shyam Manohar Jha. Before anyone can answer him, she herself answered

"What made you think that I will answer your question or I will let others to answer you?" everyone looked at Khushi surprisingly.

Arnav held Khushi when he saw Shyam almost ran to Khushi. But Khushi removed Arnav's hand from hers and stood up to face that Shyam.

Shyam looked at Khushi with so much anger "What did you say?" he gritted his teeth.

But Khushi didn't even flinch a bit. She looked at him in his eyes and said "I think you have an ear problem. It's okay, I will repeat my words. I asked what made you think that I will answer your question or I will let others to answer you. Is the question clear now?"

"How dare you?" Shyam gritted his teeth again

"Don't... don't ask me about my dare, because I won't answer you... actually there is no need to answer you... so, I won't tell you"

"What you won't tell Chutki?"

"Di... Good Morning... I was just asking about you only. But your husband is hell bent to separate us. He is saying he doesn't want me near you and he won't allow me with you" said Khushi pouting cutely making a sad face before Anjali. Everyone in the hall looked at Khushi with surprised eyes

"Don't think about his words Chutki... you know you can come to me whenever you want, right? No one can stop you, not even Chote, okay? Don't worry about anyone. You are my Chutki and you have all the rights to come to me and meet me and talk to me whenever you want. Don't give me that sad expression, I can't see you sad. You are still that innocent 5 year Chutki for me. You have every right on me as my family, may be more than them, umm...? Okay?" Anjali said holding Khushi shoulder and looking at her face

"But... Jijaji is not allowing me" Khushi said in low voice which sounded as if she is on verge of crying.

Hugging Khushi Anjali said "Aww... meri Chutki... meri bachi... Don't worry about jijaji words... he don't know how important you are to me, to Chote and to this family"

"But that doesn't mean he can scold me when I want to meet you all" Khushi said again in low voice

Smiling at Khushi Anjali said "I will tell him. From now onwards he won't say anything to you. Okay?" getting a nod from Khushi she continued "Then, you change that expression now. I want to see that beautiful smile on your face always. If you stay sad, my day won't be good. Come on... smile"

Khushi gave a big smile to Anjali and hugged her tightly. Khushi looked at Arnav and winked with a victory smile on her face making Arnav roll his eyes and controlling his smile biting his lower lip. He is a proud man now... because of his Choti

"She is too dangerous. I have to be careful. Otherwise, she will surely make me her slave. I don't want to be a slave to an innocent yet intelligent kid" said Aman in low voice only for Arnav to hear.
