Sheesh Mahal..

"You don't need to be upset Akash. It's Payal who lost a man like you, not the other way around.. I'm sure you will find a girl who's worth of you.." Arnav said as he sat on the couch beside Akash, who smiled and nodded.

"Hello hi bye bye.. I never likes that Payal.. so middle class girl.. yuck like that sister of hers.. They thought they can make way to our house!" Mami said.

Arnav stare at her for a while, remembering when Akash announced his relationship with Payal on his reception party, Raizadas looked very happy to have Payal as their daughter in law. Now why is Mami talking like she hates and disgust Payal? Was it their acting?

Akash pinched his mother's hand signaling her to shut her mouth in front of Arnav.

"Bhai you should have dinner with everyone. I will eat later, I'm still upset over all this happening in our house.." Akash patted Arnav's shoulder and stood up leaving the living room only for Arnav, Nani and Mami.

"Did you talk with Anjali bitiya? How's her trip?" Nani asked.

"No, she didn't call me as yet.. Must be with Shyam and Mahi.." Arnav replied.

Nani nodded and engrossed in the conversation with Mami, meanwhile Arnav took his phone and started checking his messages, he scrolled down few business chats, then his eyes caught on Shyam's message.

"We have reached in Switzerland.. All is okay here.. How was your reception party? Hope you enjoyed.. And please send my many thank you's to Khushi.. she's the one who came up with this brilliant idea and now I'm more hopeful that I will get my family back! Thanks yaar :)" Arnav read Shyam's message, now his heart was more confused. Was Khushi actually a gold digger? If she was only interested in his money, then why would she help Shyam to reunite with Anjali? Why would she care for Mahi?

His thoughts were stopped by familiar voices to him approaching the living room. He looked up and his expressions turned to surprised one, "Dadi?"

"Surprise!" Maya spread her arms on air smiling, "How was it?"

Arnav smiled a little and stood up, walking towards them and greeted his Dadi, then hugged his Maya aunty.

Nani and Dadi glared at each other and no one took first step to greet each other. Mami glanced at Maya, who looked more beautiful and younger than her, she became jealous and looked away muttering her Hello hi bye bye.

"Sit Dadi.. How was your journey? Why didn't you inform me that you were coming here?" Arnav asked with concern taking his Dadi and made her sit on the couch while Maya sat on her own smiling.

Nani clutched her fist feeling jealous that Arnav totally ignored her because of his Dadi's presence.

"Actually we didn't came here to meet you but our Khushi.." Maya said with mischievous smile.

The smile from Arnav's face fade away, his expressions turned hard and his eyes darkened in anger.

"She's not my wife anymore.." Arnav gritted his teeth.

Dadi stood up again with shocked expression, "What?"

Maya also stood up frowning, "Why? What happened? Did you both fought?"

"Hello hi bye bye.. She turned out to be a golddigger who only had her eyes on Arnav bitwa's money.." Mami said rolling her eyes.

"What is she saying Chote?" Dadi looked at him with moist eyes.

"It is true Dadi.." Arnav said and narrated whole story to her.

Dadi raised her hand and slapped him hard on his cheek, "I didn't expect this from you.."

Maya widened her eyes, Nani and Mami also stood up shocked by Dadi's act.

"What are you doing? Have you gone mad? You're slapping my Chote for that middle class girl who only married him for his money and nothing else.." Nani shouted angry.

"You think you did a great thing by throwing Khushi bitiya out of here.. You actually made the biggest mistake of your life.. The day your eyes open you will regret..but really regret what you did to her.. You don't even have any idea of what a gem of a person you lost.. she's not a golddigger.. she is just an innocent and selfless girl who sacrifices her everything to people who don't even acknowledge her.." Dadi shouted to Arnav.

"I seriously don't know why you don't know why you don't want to see the truth.. The reality here is that your family is behind your money as Khushi said.." Maya glared at Raizadas, "Do you even know that when Dadi calls here, they cut her call purposely so that you don't get to talk with her? When you're not present, then they talk with us as if we are mere servants? That is why Dadi avoids coming here and never told you how they actually treat us because she doesn't want you to fight with them because of us.. We only came here because Dadi missed Khushi and we wanted to surprise you both otherwise we would never step in this house.."

"Let's go Maya.. I don't want to stay here anymore.. where Khushi bitiya isn't present, then there is no place for me as well.." Dadi said in broken tone looking away in disgust.

"Dadi I can't believe you're leaving your grandson for that middle class.."

Before he could even complete his sentence, Dadi slapped him again glaring angrily at him, "Learn how to respect women Mr.Raizada.."

Arnav looked at her shocked because she called him Mr. Raizada instead of Chote and secondly she's fighting with him because of Khushi.

"And if Khushi is middle class woman, then we are also! We don't have anything, everything is in your name.. it's yours.. throw us out of your house please.." Dadi joined her hand in front of him.

"Dadi stop it.." Arnav frowned holding her hand, "Please stop this.. I did everything for you all.. for my family.. and you're saying such words making me feel worse.. this is for you all..not for me.. I worked hard to see you all in better life.."

"HP take their bags and placed it on their rooms.." Arnav said.

"No!" Dadi shook her head, "I'm not going to stay here at all..Take me to Khushi bitiya "

"Dadi stop this nonsense..Khushi is nothing for me now.. She shares no relation with me and soon we're going to get divorced also.. I don't see any need for you to ask for her.." Arnav frowned.

"You broke your relation with her, but I didn't.. I look at her as my granddaughter and I love her as much as I love you.. Take me to her and I don't need to stay in such big house.. Just take me to Khushi bitiya, I will stay with her wherever it is.." Dadi said.

Arnav sighed hard at his Dadi's stubbornness, "You're going to stay in Shantivan then and no more discussion on this.."

"With Khushi!" Arnav added seeing the disturbed look on his Dadi's face which soon got replaced with a smile when he took Khushi's name.

Nani and Mami looked at each other frowning.

"Chote are you sure? You're going to bring that woman in our house again?" Nani asked.

"I know what I'm doing.." Arnav said in no-nonsense tone and angrily left to his room, to get ready to pick Khushi from Aman's house and take her to Shantivan with Dadi and Maya.

As soon as he walked in his room, he started throwing things on floor in anger, breaking almost everything and making a mess of his room. He sat on the bed with a thud and held her purse again, taking those papers which broke his heart and the trust he had on her. When they came back from reception party, he went to kitchen to drink water and she went upstairs to their room. After he finished drinking his water, he also went upstairs tiredly, and got in their room only to see Khushi was no where to be seen, he only found her purse laid on the bed and some papers peeking out from her purse, curiously he took those papers and started reading it only to get the shock of his life, it was papers to transfer his property to her name and perhaps only waiting for the right time to get his signature. That's when he heard someone shouting and rushed outside his room only to see her fighting with Akash, he was already to shocked to read that and his mind was already warning him to not trust this woman but his heart was telling him she was innocent, when she suddenly blamed his family for the sin she wants to commit, she said his family his behind his money when what he saw minutes back proved that she's the one behind his money. That's it, she completely broke his trust and he could finally see what was her motive to accept marrying a stranger in her life.

"Why? Why Khushi?.. Why did you break my trust like this?.. I only gave you place of being my wife and you did this.. I don't know why I fell in your trap, in your innocence.. you're a liar.. Liar you're.. I hate you Khushi.. I hate you.." he threw her purse to the floor angrily.

"Don't know what magic you did with Dadi and Maya that they can't see your real face.. They still think you're innocent..only if they knew what you actually are.." he smiled sarcastically.

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

Aman's house:

Khushi opened the door after two knocks and got surprised to see him in front of her. Arnav kept his same expressionless face with his hands on his pockets.

"I di..didn't sign on divorce papers.. yet.." she said looking away.

"I expected that from you only.. It hurts na? To let go of such a man like me..Where will you find another handsome and rich man to trap, right?" he shrugged.

"Do you even have proofs that I'm behind your money? You're just accusing me like this.." her eyes got moist, she can't bear to hear such words from the man she loves.

"I do have proofs Khushi Gupta.. I'm not like you who accuse my family of disgusting things and expect me to believe in it without any proofs.." he glared at her.

"I won't even speak a word to you anymore.. Just one last advice to you.. Use your brain!" she said sarcastically with tears in her hazel eyes.

"What the.." Arnav clutched his fist, staring angrily at her.

"She's saying right only Arnav SIR.. She can't sign those divorce papers because you need to complete at least one year to get divorced.." Aman smiled politely and stood beside Khushi.

"Don't teach me law Aman.. Use contacts and get this done!" Arnav glared at him.

"You mean corruption? Sorry, I can't do this Sir.." Aman shook his head in no.

"Do you want to get fired?" Arnav gritted his teeth.

"Do you want to fire me?" Aman asked smirking.

"If you want to fire me, then do it.. You're already losing loyal people to you one by one.. if you lose me, then it wouldn't make any difference in your life.." Aman shrugged.

Khushi looked at Aman shaking her head in no with teary eyes, she doesn't want Aman to lose his job because of her.

"Khushi you have to come with me.." Arnav said ignoring Aman's words.

Aman stood in front of Khushi and raised his eyebrow, "Wait.. Where's my sister going?"

"Don't need to over think.. I only came here because Dadi and Maya aunty want to stay with you.. I'm taking them to Shantivan and they want Khushi to stay with them as well.." Arnav said.

Aman looked at Khushi questioning her through his eyes if she wanted to go or not.

Khushi nodded her head smiling a little. She went to pack her few clothes that Aman bought for her as her clothes stayed in Sheesh Mahal.

She came back and blinked her eyes at worried Aman, assuring him that she will be fine.

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

Arnav and Khushi came downstairs and Arnav got in the car without opening the door for Khushi. Maya opened the car's door for her smiling sadly, "Khushi.."

Dadi caressed Khushi's cheek with concern smile, "Are you okay? You don't need to be upset.. Now I'm here to take care of you.."

"Dadi I'm fine.. please don't be worried for me.." Khushi said with tears threatening to fall from her eyes. Here she thought she has no one in her life, but she didn't expect that Dadi and Maya would support her.

"I'm not driver.." Arnav said impatiently at them and signaled Khushi to seat at front seat. Khushi looked away, ignoring his orders.

"I'm not going to drive till you come here.." he gritted his teeth, this woman really has courage to mess up with him.

"Then we will call rickshaw.. It's not a problem at all.." Dadi smiled sarcastically.

Arnav groaned and started driving making Dadi and Maya smirk, while Khushi just stare at window side ignoring his presence on the car. It's really difficult to live without him, but he's the one who broke her heart in pieces!

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

Switzerland

Mahi was playing with Shyam, throwing snow balls to each other giggling.

"What are you both doing? You will get sick Mahi.. stop doing that.." Anjali scolded.

Shyam and Mahi looked at each other pouting, then smirked at the idea on their minds and quickly put their idea on action. They started throwing snow balls to Anjali, who widen her eyes in shock. She too threw to them who giggled and ran away from her. Anjali laughed and ran behind them, with snow balls on her hands ready to beat them up.

After playing much, Anjali tiredly leaned on Shyam's chest, giggling while watching Mahi playing with other kids as well.

Shyam reluctantly wrapped his arms around her waist and that's when she realized what she did. She stare at him and both got lost in each other's eyes.

"We lost many such moments together.." Shyam said.

Anjali looked away, yes they did lost many moments together. But who was at fault? Was it because her? She always thought that without money, one can't be happy.. But why is Shyam and Mahi proving her wrong? Why is she happy here with them rather than Sheesh Mahal with all luxuries she has? Why isnt she missing her lifestyle these days she has been with them?

"Are you hungry? We should leave for home and eat something.. then we will visit other places.." Shyam said.

She smiled weakly and nodded her head.

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

At evening..

Arnav return much late home, he was working non stop in AR to stop himself from getting Khushi's thoughts in his mind. He only lied to himself that he already threw her out of his mind, reality is such that she even comes on his dreams. Her thoughts don't let him breath in peace. He is constantly restless thinking about her and all the moments they spent together.

Loosening his tie on the way, he climbed up the stairs and headed towards his room expecting to get a good sleep at least tonight. He was even about to cross Nani's room when laughing sounds stopped him. Such a tensed situation going on in the house, why would they be laughing like they're celebrating something?

The door was slightly open so he could hear what they were talking about.

"Finally we got rid of that middle class woman.." Nani said laughing happily, "Every night calls for a celebration now.."

"Hello hi bye bye.. But still she's at Shantivan now.. What if those two snakes (Dadi and Maya) bring her closer to Arnav bitwa? What if they manage to convince him to not get divorced to her?" Mami asked.

"Don't worry Ma.. I've made such a plan that is impossible for anyone to convince Arnav to get back together to that little middle class girl who thought she can defeat me.." Akash smirked.

"Oh that was brilliant Akash.. acting like you love Payal to destroy Khushi was actually the best thing to do.. as soon as he sister got involved, she forgot her own plan and messed up everything for herself.. Poor girl.. She thinks she can win from us.. we're in this game for a long time now.." Nani smirked.

"Not only Payal Nani.. You missed the real plan.. While coming back home, I placed property papers which states that Arnav is transferring his whole property to his wife in Khushi's purse and left it open, when she came back she was already angry over my and Payal's relationship and she threw that purse on her bed carelessly and I went running to my room as I knew she was coming to meet me and prepared myself for some drama.. I knew that the more angry and frustrated she gets with me, she would speak something against us to Arnav and that's what she did but what she didn't know was that I already made Arnav think that our plan was Khushi's plan all along! Only thing I didn't know was that she already knew about our whole plan because she listened to our conversation that day.. Only if I knew, then I wouldn't let her stay in this house for so long.. She was indeed the biggest threat to us, it's good we made Arnav think bad about her and threw her out of the house.." Akash said.

"But everything is fine now.. We just need to focus on our real plan now that is to get Arnav's property to us and kick him out his this house or even make him our servant.." Akash laughed.

"But we have to wait for Anjali to come back, right?" Nani asked.

"What Nani? We have been only using Anjali to get our things done.. If she wants to stay with that Shyam and her daughter.. Then let her do what she wants.. We don't care!" Akash shrugged.

The three looked at each other smirking evilly.

Arnav leaned on the wall behind him, a lone tear escaped from his eyes as he shut his eyes tightly whispering, "Khushi!"
