After the wedding got completed, Akash and Payal were taking blessings from the family.
Payal came to Khushi, she hugged Khushi tightly. Khushi smiled and hugged her back, thinking about their conversation, where Payal revealed that she got jealous that everyone were giving attention to her and she thought no one loves her. Khushi apologized that she left like that, and Payal also said sorry to her. The family felt guilty for making her feel like that. At the end, everything got sorted between them, Payal got friends with Khushi too.
"Bhabhiiiiiiiii.. I'm married man now!" screamed Akash excitedly, and hugged her tightly. Khushi and others giggled.
"Don't get too excited, you will know what trouble you got in.." said Arnav smirking.
Khushi glared at him, then looked back at Akash, "Don't listen to him.."
"ASR we checked everywhere but didn't find Meera and Karan.." Aman whispered to him.
Arnav clenched his jaws, "Check again Aman, I'm sure they will not leave without doing what they want.."
Aman nodded. Arnav held Khushi's hand.
Khushi shoved his hand pouting, "Don't talk with me! You called me a trouble.."
"You're my jalebiheart happy?" he said, pulling her to a corner.
"You have to leave now Khushi with Aashi. I will send my bodyguards with the driver Just take Aashi and go!" Arnav said serious.
"But you.." Khushi said.
"Don't worry about me, I just want to protect you and Aashi.." he said, convincing her to leave.
Though Khushi didn't want, she unwillingly had to leave with Aashi as Arnav ordered her to.
***********************************************
The sky was darker, there were no guests around the hall. Only Arnav was waiting for the servants to clean the place and take all the utensils that belonged to them, the driver was taking the gifts to the car.
As they ended the job, Arnav walked out of the hall receiving a call from Khushi.
Before he could pick up, he was beaten up brutally on his head. He screamed in pain, shutting his
eyes tightly. The phone fell from his hand, breaking in pieces on the floor.
Everything went blur for him, he just felt being pushed by some men to a car.
********************************************
Raizada mansion..
"His phone was ringing now, suddenly became unavailable.." Khushi thought worriedly, while Nk, Lavanya, Anjali and Shyam were busy in teasing Payash.
"Mumma.." Aashi hugged her legs, she started jumping and spread her arms for Khushi to lift her.
Khushi lifted her.
"Where's Papa?" asked Aashi frowning slightly.
"Papa will come soon.. OK? Now my princess needs to sleep.. Aren't you tired?" Khushi said, taking
her upstairs to her room.
She put Aashi to sleep, and laid beside Aashi cuddling her.
"DM why am I feeling like something bad is going to happen? Please don't let anything happen to Arnav.. Please be with him and protect him.. Make him come home soon, I will only feel relieved if I see him in front of me.. Come home soon Jaan.." she thought stroking Aashi's hair.
***********************************************
Arnav looked away, shutting his eyes tightly as cold water was splashed on his face.
He blinked twice, gaining his conscious and looked at the person in front of him.
"You!" he said rolling his eyes boringly.
"How's the surprise Love?" Meera smiled.
"Horrible.." Arnav said, "By the way, I didn't expect you would kidnap me!" he smirked.
"I know you loved it.." Meera said ruffling his wet hair, to which Arnav glared at her. He was tied on a chair, and couldn't even stop her.
"And you're right! Plan was to kidnap Khushi or Aashi, your weakness to make you sign our property papers.. But since you're so smart and two step ahead of us, you already knew our plan. You sent your bodyguards and security to protect Khushi, and like this we wouldn't be able to even reach near her or Aashi. But he and you have the same sharp mind, so he just changed the plan. Instead of risking our lives in kidnapping Aashi or Khushi, we would kidnap you who didn't have bodyguards or security guards around you, who only wanted to protect his angels and didn't even think about yourself. Smart he is, na?" Meera smiled as she sat a chair, opposite Arnav.
"He who? Your father?" Arnav asked.
Meera nodded smirking, "I have to admit it.. You're so smart Arnav!"
Arnav rolled his eyes.
"And you three are so dumb! You think you will get anything by kidnapping me? I will never transfer the property back to your hands.. Keep dreaming about that.." Arnav shouted.
"Oh you will Arnav Singh Raizada.." Shashi came in, smirking evilly, "You will sign the property papers handling us what belongs to us and not only that, since you made me suffer so much, I decided I should receive extra.. So I thought, now I want AR and your mansion to in my name.. And not only that, you will be my beloved son in law.. I mean you're already (thinking about Khushi), but will be my Meera's husband.."
Arnav clenched his jaws seeing this man in front of him after such a long time, everything he did to him flashed on his mind.
"It's good to dream Mr. Kapoor, but not all dreams come true.. Some remain as dreams only!" Arnav said with a sharp gaze on Shashi.
Shashi laughed out loud, "Oh really Mr. Raizada.. It might be true, but not for Shashi Kapoor.. I get what I want always! And how, what, where.. All this you will see it happening, I'm not mad to ask my men to kidnap you without any reason, I know what I am doing!"
"Unfortunately I couldn't kidnap Aashi.. I so badly wanted to see my daughter and play with her for a while..." said Karan with a pity look.
"Aashi is NOT YOUR DAUGHTER.. Don't you dare utter her name with your filthy mouth again.."
shouted Arnav on top of his voice, with his eyes red in anger.
Shashi closed his ear with his palms, "Ohho.. Karan don't provoke him, he will destroy this already old building with his anger.. Let him stay with that baby, after all she is his sister's last memory with him!"
"I don't know what Sharanya Di saw in a disgusting man like you! And I'm glad she told me to keep Aashi with me, don't know what would be of that baby if she grew up in a disgusting and heartless family like yours.." Arnav said.
"Fakeness.. It was all fake, and since your sister was so innocent it was so easy to trap her in talks of love.. I never loved her, we were just eying on AR, and I used her to get what we wanted.. Anyways, lot of things happened that we couldn't get what we wanted..but now, we will.. You did the hardwork to make AR number one, while we will just snatch it from you!" Karan smirked.
"He was innocent also like his sister Karan.. That's why he believed that I was on his and his sister's side when she died.. Little did you know that I'm the one behind your sister's death!" Meera smirked evilly.
Arnav widened his eyes in shock, "What?" it was a mere whisper.
"Hmm.. It's a long story yaar, but let me resume it to you! You see I was the one who asked my father to blackmail you to marry me, I was the one who gave the idea of using your sister because I knew how much you love her, I was aware that my mother tortured her, still I behaved like I was the only good and innocent daughter and friend of your sister. I behaved goodly with her so that she convince you to marry me. But unfortunately, on the day of our marriage she heard me, Papa and Karan celebrating our victory and heard our plans also, she got to know the dark side of her husband, how her father in law is cruel and what I did to get you. I saw her, I knew she would do anything to stop our marriage and ask you to not sacrifice for her, and if you got to know that she is aware of everything then what was the use of my blackmail? You would stop our marriage and take your sister with you. You would hate me, and that's something I could never let happen. So we just went behind her, she was running crossing the roads and didn't saw the car coming on her way and.. boom! It's sad, you know what happened later.. But you see I didn't kill her, if only she kept quiet and obeyed me.. She would have been alive today..and we would be hubby and wifey with a beautiful daughter like Aashi.. But no, you had to betray me by marrying that witch.." Meera said angrily.
Arnav was still in shock, knowing all this. When he thought this family was over with their actions, this comes up. His sister wanted to warn him about Meera, when she died and didn't complete what she was saying.
"She's an Angel.. who saved me from a witch like you!" Arnav said gritting his teeth, "Thank God I didn't marry you.. I can't believe I ever felt guilty for you.. I can't believe some day I thought to marry you because you sacrificed your life for me, I thought to repay it .. I thank DM that she sent Khushi in my life before you come out of coma, otherwise I would get fooled by your innocent face again!"
"Stop it.. Stop taking her name in front of me!" Meera shouted.
Arnav smirked, "Who are you that I shouldn't take her name in front of you? You're nothing to me..
Her name is craved in my heart.."
