This is for you, Kiddo!

Sometime later..
AR.

Shyam walked in Arnav's cabin, looking around, then his eyes fell on Arnav sat on his chair going through some files.

"Sale Sahab," he uttered clearing his throat while Arnav looked up to him, "Did you call me here?"

"Yes.. Take a seat," Arnav said before picking up a call he received. Shyam gulped and sat on the opposite chair of Arnav's. 

"If he wanted to talk with me, then he would have done it at home.. Why did he call me here in AR, that too with only two of us here in his cabin? Partner is also not here to save me.. Oh God, only you can save me now from this Laad Governor!" Shyam thought, biting his nails while watching Arnav talking over the phone. He later slapped his lips, mentally scolding himself for picking up Khushi's habit of biting her nails when nervous.

"Okay.. great. Instruct the bodyguards to be around her when she's outside KK and always be alert.. Okay, Bye Aman!"

Shyam frowned as Arnav's words gained his attention, "What happened to Khushi? Is everything alright?" he asked after Arnav hang up the call, keeping the phone back on the table.

But before Arnav could answer him, Shyam's phone rang and he looked startled for a moment, then took his phone out of his pants pocket and picked up the call hurriedly when he saw the caller ID, "Hello.. Khushi.. Are you okay? What happened-"

Shyam stopped abruptly when he glanced at Arnav, who face palmed and angrily whispered, "Keep your mouth shut!"

"Yes.. I'm fine. Why are you asking?" he heard Khushi's reply and his heart sighed in relief, but still his mind wondered why Arnav asked Aman to instruct the bodyguards to stay alert and be around Khushi.

"Nothing.. I had a very bad dream yesterday.. Chudail was pulling your hair because you don't have dandruff and she was jealous of you.. So I was worried for you.. but when I woke up you weren't home," Shyam pouted.

"What the.." Arnav looked at him in disbelief. Shyam smiled sheepishly in return to Arnav. 

"Aww you're so sweet Partner!" Shyam's cheeks turned red like a tomato, "That I'm!" he replied giggling.

Arnav stared at him confused and curious. Why was he laughing? What did Khushi say to him that made him blush?

"Shyam can you come to my office now? I need to tell you something very important!"

Shyam cleared his throat, glancing at Arnav, "Woh.. Is it urgent Khushi? I'm little busy right now."

"Yes, it's urgent.. but you can come later once you finish what you're doing,"

"Okay.. We'll talk later then. Bye!" Shyam said and hang up the call, then looked up at Arnav, who had been glaring at him.

"Best friends!" Arnav muttered with a tight smile.

"Sale Sahab are you jealous?" Shyam raised his brows.

"No. I'm not," Arnav curtly replied with no expression on his face.

"Well you don't have to be. Khushi loves you a lot.."

"I know."

"And she's my sis-"

"I know that too!" Arnav cut him off, "I called you here to talk about something important Shyam."

Shyam nodded, turning serious. Is he going to kick me out of Shantivan?. Shyam gulped at the possibility of being called for that.

"We've found out about Aarav's parents."

Shyam widened his eyes, "Is he.. your?"

"No. He's not my son,"

Shyam sighed in relief, smiling: Congrats Sale Sahab. Now you can kick that Chudail 2.0 out of your house.

"I wish I could do so.. but I can't. Because Sheetal kidnapped Aarav's mother and she threatened him to harm his mother if he utters anything against her. First of all, I need to save Aarav's mother and be sure she's safe, then only I can take any action against Sheetal."

"Oh my God.. We're dealing with a dangerous criminal woman then," Shyam gasped, "How can she so cruel to that little mouse?"

"Sale Sahab you very well know that your Sister might be involved in this as well," Shyam spoke after composing himself from the shocking news he just got, he felt pity of Arnav who considered Anjali as his mother and now seeing his sister turning into a criminal while fighting to get his love all for herself.

"I know," Arnav nodded as his face hardened, "That's why I called you here. I don't know what's going on in Di's mind, but I definitely know that if she can be involved in this kidnapping and planning with Sheetal just to get my love and attention, then she can harm my Khushi as well. I'm worried about Khushi's safety."

"I'll need your help Shyam to inform me about everything Di is planning, her next moves, wherever she goes, what she talks with Sheetal, her phone messages and calls details.. I need to know everything!" Arnav said. 

"I will help you Sale Sahab.. but nowadays Rani Sahiba doesn't share anything with me. Even about Sheetal and Aarav, I knew nothing about it."

"Why so? Is she suspicious about you?" Arnav raised his one eyebrow.

Shyam shrugged, "I don't know.. but don't worry.. I'll surely do something which will make her open up with me."

"Do it." Arnav nodded.

"She might even tell me where they kept Aarav's mother," Shyam said to which Arnav agreed.

"Shyam be ready now.. Sale Sahab gave you a huge responsibility now. If you succeed in making that Chudail reveal all her secrets and plans with you, then you'll save Aarav's mother, Khushi and last but not the least, gain Sale Sahab's trust," Shyam thought to himself, "And yes.. who knows Sale Sahab may grant me a permanent stay in his luxurious mansion with my bedroom, my king size bed, my study, my delicious food.. Yaay it will be fun!"

************************************************************************

KK.

"Wah Shyam.. today is the day to jump from one office to another," he thought and tiredly walked in Khushi's cabin. 

"Finally you're here Partner," Khushi put her files aside, as she looked at Shyam taking his seat eager to share everything with him.

"You won't believe what 3A found out about Sheetal Partner.. you'll be shocked to know what she did.."

Err.. I already know everything.
Shyam thought as he listened everything again, acting like he was completely shocked.

"Partner we need to save Aarav's mother.. I won't rest till I find his mother and reunite them. Aarav must be missing his mother a lot and suffering without her," Khushi said brokenly, as tears threatened to roll down her cheeks.

"Yes.. We'll find his mother Khushi," Shyam said serious, "You.. just don't start crying. I don't know how to console people when they cry," he felt a strange sharp pain in his heart, when her eyes moistened.

"I won't cry," Khushi whispered lowering her eyes, composing herself, then looked up at him again, "So I was thinking that you should try to get some information from Anjali about Aarav's mother. I'm sure she knows everything about it as she's the one who brought Sheetal home. This was their plan only. And I'll try and talk with Aarav. Maybe he knows where Sheetal kept his mother."

"Khushi you shouldn't get involved in all this. I'm here, right? I will handle this matter," Shyam said seriously, as he remembered Arnav's words.

"I'm already involved in all this Shyam!!" Khushi gritted her teeth, glaring at him, "What's wrong with you? We're partners na.. We'll do everything together only."

"You're not understanding Khushi.. Chudail can't be suspicious of us otherwise she won't tell me anything. It's better if only one person handles this.. and that's me!"

"Don't treat me like a kid. You're talking as if I'm going to expose our friendship in front of her. You don't even seem the same person who made the excuse of using the washroom to meet me and 3A at the study room," Khushi frowned.

"Oh God.. Where am I stuck? Sale Sahab is gonna kill me if I get Khushi involved in this.. and Khushi is one stubborn kid only!" Shyam hit his own forehead, mentally crying over his dilemma.

"Are you with me or not? Otherwise it's okay....."

"I'm.. I'm with you meri Ma!" Shyam sighed defeatedly.

"This stubborn Partner will make lose the opportunity to gain Sale Sahab's trust.. Bye bye luxurious mansion, bedroom, king size bed, study room and delicious food!" Shyam thought, crying over his fate.
