"Excuse is there any priest with the name Anand here?" Arnav asked to another priest in Mandir. "Anand.. haan, but he only comes afternoon time.." he replied. Arnav nodded, "Okay.. thank you!"
"We'll have to wait.." Khushi looked at him and Arnav nodded looking at his surroundings. He spotted Dadu talking with Shashi, which shocked him more.

"What is Dadu talking with Shashi? Do they know each other?" thought Arnav. Khushi was busy in her phone.

He patted her cheeks, Khushi looked at him frowning, "What is it?"

"I'm coming in a while, wait here ok?" he said.

"Where are you going?" she asked worriedly clutching his shirt with her tiny hands. "I'll come back .. I won't take time promise baba.." he kissed her forehead warmly.

She nodded willingly, and he left.

One week later..

"Hello everyone.. this is Ayesha from news channel XYZ.. and today's breaking news is the announcement of the new owner of AR fashion industries.. Means Shashi Kapoor.. today in this conference hall we'll get all the answers of the questions running in our minds, why did ASR hand over his business to Shashi Kapoor?"

Shashi Kapoor entered in the conference hall with his family, grabbing all the attention from media people, they ran to him and start questioning him already and clicking many pictures.

His bodyguards had to intervene and lead them to the stage. Shashi smirked seeing everyone's attention on him.

"You lost ASR.." he chanted this on his mind.

"Papa there's still one hour left for the conference to start.. you can rest in your room if you want.. I already booked it for you.." Meera said.

Shashi nodded and went from there.

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

"Good luck bhabhi.." Nk, Akash and Aman whispered to Khushi and hugged her tightly. Khushi too hugged them tightly, she really needs their support today.

She looked at him, "Won't you say anything to me?"

Arnav held her both hands firmly, he rested his forehead on hers. Khushi closed her eyes so did he, "Don't be afraid of him.. and don't fall weak!" he whispered.

Khushi nodded her head, "After all I've to prove you wrong!"

Arnav chuckled, he cupped her face: That time I didn't trust on your love, but today I have full faith on you Khushi, I know you'll do this.. Only you can defeat a man like Shashi!

Khushi nodded, she left from there.

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

Shashi's room:

"Hi Shashi!" Khushi stood on the door of his room, waving at him.

Shashi turned to her, first he stood confused then smiled, "Hi Khushi! What are you doing here? Came to beg me to give your husband's property back?"

"No!" Khushi nodded sideways, getting in the room, "Just came to congratulate you for being smart! Congratulations Shashi.. you finally managed to destroy my family, you managed to separate me from my husband.."

"I wish I had died that day and Arnav hadn't signed on those papers.. I wouldn't have to see this day.." Khushi acted like she's crying.

"Ohho my poor baby.." Shashi patted her back, Khushi shoved his hands angrily.

"Shameless girl.. it's good I abandoned you when you were a child.." Shashi blurted out in anger.

Khushi looked at him shocked, "What? Means.. you're.."

Khushi gulped, now she understood why his face was familiar to her. Why she felt she had seen him somewhere. He's her FATHER.. the same one who left her with Dadu, the same who didn't even thought about her.

"Yes, you heard it right Khushi.. I'm your father.. but you're not my child! You can never be my child, my only children are Karan and Meera, they brought good luck in my life unlike you, you are a bad luck, you came in this life only to destroy me, to show my deeds to the world.. to make me pay for everything I did... I couldn't let that happen, that's why I abandoned you, I left you in some old man's house.. I thought your chapter was over, but there you came again in my life.. but I'm Shashi Kapoor, I challenged my own destiny, and see before you destroyed me.. I destroyed you! Hahahahahahaa.. I kidnapped your husband and made him sign forcefully those property papers, by defeating Arnav.. I indirectly affected you Khushi.. now you're lost, what will you do? How will you defeat me? Hahaah.. I'm just the best! No one so sharp and intelligent like me has born yet.." Shashi laughed evilly.

Khushi's eyes were red due to tears continuously slipping from her eyes, she couldn't believe she's meeting her father and instead of hugging her and saying sorry, he's telling all this to her.

"You're not a human.. you're a monster.. I can't believe you're my father.. what was my fault? Why did you do this to me?" Khushi cried.

"In this world, you have to be selfish dear.. how will you get what you want then?Sometimes you've to sacrifice things close to you, to get what you want.. I had to sacrifice you, to live the way I'm living now.." he smirked.

"I worked so hard to live this luxury life.. I was a very poor man, a servant in a big company like your husband's, every day I dream that I've to be the CEO of this company, but how? By working hard like this every day? Nahin na, what will I gain by being honest man every time? That time only I understood, if I want this company, I've to snatch it.. that's it.. I started being friendly with my Malik, start visiting his family often, I did everything for him, even faked an accident in which I saved his life, I gained his trust and then, I killed him.. (Khushi gasped) Yes, I KILLED HIM.. poor man, he loved me! But what to do, I was helpless.. I wanted what he had, and we couldn't share the same space, hain na? Then while he was breathing his last, I made him sign the property papers.. and then I became the Shashi Kapoor everyone knows, I made his family become servants in their own mansion (he laughed, Khushi looked at him with disgust).. one police officer got to know about the crime I committed, I tried to bribe him but he denied, so I had to kill him also.. this is just the start of the crimes I committed to be here my baby, you see how much your father struggled to get here.. then came your husband, he bought my company and send me to the roads? Did I suffer so much to be on roads with my family ahn? Nahin na, I had to reply him in his way.. and I did.. I showed him what Shashi is made of.. no one can destroy me so easily! NO ONE!" Shashi said.

"Since you already destroyed me, I can hear the list of your crimes.. you have one hour, and I'm sure you don't want to be bored here.." said Khushi smiling sarcastically, "Let me know my father!"

"Good idea!" Shashi smiled, he sat on the bed and started narrating everything to Khushi, sometimes laughing at her face.

After one hour, his bodyguard called him to come to the conference hall. Shashi was leaving with him, Khushi called him.

"Dear Papa.." Khushi smirked, "Don't forget what pandit Anand told to you in past, this girl will destroy you!"

Shashi looked at her, her eyes revealed no fear, only revenge. Somehow she scared him.

"Sir let's go!" his PA came to him, he nodded startled and left with them disturbed with Khushi's words.

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

Shashi sat on his chair thinking deeply about Khushi, Garima caressed his shoulder smiling, "Kya hua?

You looked worried.."

"Noth.." his sentence was left incomplete when he saw police officers around the hall, he gulped, "Who called them here?"

"Who called them here?" he shouted angrily. Karan walked to him, "Relax Papa.. they're here for your security only.. I called them!"

"Acha?" Shashi sighed in relief, "Okay.. it's because of that.. let it be.. I'm not well.." Meera gave him a glass of water and asked him to sit to reply to the reporter's questions.

"So, Mr.Shashi Kapoor everyone is curious to know why ASR hand over his property to you?" asked one girl.

"Because he's incapable of handling success like me! He gave up like most weak people do!" Shashi smirked.

Suddenly lights went off, and only lights from a projection screen were on. It started playing the conversation between Shashi and Khushi.

Everyone watched it shocked, Shashi was revealing that he kidnapped Arnav and made him sign on those property papers, also his never ending list of crimes during the time he had his power.

Shashi was shouting for them to stop playing it, but none of them moved. Meera and Karan also tried to stop it from playing, but they didn't know where this came from.

"Nahin.. this is a lie.. they're trying to frame me.. it's a lie.." Shashi shouted crying. Media people filmed everything, and it created a commotion in the hall.

Police officers came on stage and handcuffed Shashi and his family.

"What are you doing? Do you know who I'm? You're believing this stupid video.." Shashi shouted at him.

"I don't know what you're.. but I surely know who ASR is!" the police officer said and signaled him to look behind.

Arnav, Khushi, NK, Aman and Akash came to them walking in style with a victory smirk on their faces.

"I won't spare any of you.." Shashi widened his eyes angrily at them.

"I told you only I can destroy you!" Khushi said standing face to face with Shashi, "I will always regret the fact that you're my father.. but will never regret to expose you in front of the world!"

NK, Akash and Aman looked at them shocked. It only now registered on their minds that Shashi confessed he was her father. While Arnav just look at her feeling her pain. Dadu told him that day about Shashi being her father, he didn't want Khushi to know that because he didn't want her to fall weak, but Shashi end up revealing this to her.

He's happy that she didn't break down and gave up at last moment, she continued their plan and destroyed Shashi once and for all.
