"What video?" Payal asked holding her breath. Her heart started thudding against her ribcage in distress. All the old memories keep knocking into her brain now and then.

"Wait I'll show you" Saying this aadvika stood up and plug her pendrive to the TV.

Keeping the maximum volume she played the video which was devoid of audio.

Anjali frowned eyed her for answer.

"It's was an old video so audio got tampered. I tried to retrieve but couldn't"

With batted breath and anxiety they four start to watch the screen where video was playing on.

The video shows Arnav splashing water on the screen (someone face) who was tied with a rope against a chair as his legs only showing.

Then arnav spoke something before punching him hard on the screen (person face). Arnav eyes reflected fury all over the video. Arnav spoke few words before he got some bottle which was much more like a spray and he sprayed it on the screen (person face). The picture in the video played disorientedly.

As following by cue Aman came in and the screen went blank until they reached to a house. With the help of few bodybuilders they made him lie on the bed and his face was shown. Another men enters who looks like a cook in uniform. Aman took out a packet which reads some brand chocos when it goes zoom. And the men got it after Aman said something. Aman placed a letter at the side table and went outside.

Fast forwarding the video as the man was sleeping, advika stopped at one place and what they saw was the man ate the choco's. Few minutes passed, all the screen showed was the man's struggle to breath. A white foam escaped from his mouth and his struggle stopped... Forever... *(Refer 13th chapter of bonded by love for clear scenario, not needed if you remember the part)

"That's Karan..." Payal whispered not able to believe what she saw now.

Aadit and Anjali rooted at their place clasping each other palms.

"Now will you trust me? My accusations are not wrong" Advika asked and the remaining members are not in the state to answer her anything.

"How are you aunty? Hope you don't mind me calling you like that" Khushi snapped her head as soon as she heard the voice.

"Aarav.."

Aakash stood up supporting Khushi.

"I know it's not time for pleasantries... but I think we can quickly move forward the case if you cooperate with our team" Aarav said with a forced smile.

"How're you Aarav? How's Sheetal?" Asked Khushi.

"Everyone is fine aunty and... I want you and your family co operation. Especially your daughter as she is the one who complainted against ASR. It's quite shocking actually..." Aarav stated and trailed down the latter part.

Aakash took a step forward "Aarav what do you think about the case? Will bhai can be proved innocent? And who must be the person trapping us?"

"I cannot tell anything without probing further. Be ready, investigation will be tomorrow. Two from our team members would be here, it's just formality. They don't disturb you but if they ask anything then please cooperate with them. I'll come tomorrow"

Nodding at two officers he turned to leave. Thinking something he glanced back "I trust ASR, he'll never do something like this"

Khushi sighed visibily as a heavy weight lifted from her heart.

"He's not bad as I thought sometime before" Khushi said passing a small smile. A sudden hope filled her senses.

Lifted her lashes she asked "But jiaji whom he killed that advi filed a complaint?"

Aakash widen his eyes in stupidity, this thought somehow slipped out of his mind by the sudden turn of events.

"Let me ask this to them" he pointed at the two officers.

Khushi too followed him and the answer she got did shaken her trust on Arnav.

"Karan Kundra"

What if Arnavji in anger did killed him? That time his full senses was filled by rage. Maybe there's a chance.

If yes then he's a murderer! Like her daughter said.

But... How can he? What proofs advi have? What if it was proved?

Then advi and aadit will be known as murderers children. I was a murderer wife!

Hey devimaaiyaa...

Chi..chi.. what I am thinking? My arnavji will never do that. But what if???.... Khushi thoughts shuffled between past and present.

Very very Sorry for this tasteless update guys, I am trying to write this from past week but it was not coming out the way I decided earlier. I know it was not upto the mark, but trust me I am trying. It seems as If i was drifted away from this plot.

So I think without further ado this should be finished before entering into another hiatus. I am going to wrap up this story in two or three updates, what do you guys think?

I have no heart to discontinue this as many of you are so eager to read the story. So without twist it will end soon.

I apologise from bottom of my heart for ruining the story, I never thought this would happen. But yeah, life and our mind was always unpredictable. And I was no exceptional from it😓

Enough of my blabbering, have a good night to all☺️ Happy Sunday!
