Part 28 Stunning Khushi

In the meanwhile,

Aman was gazing at Sheetal, who was trying to manipulate him.

"Aman, what's the necessary to get into share markets to serve society? What will you gain by doing all this? Do you think this society will honour you by keeping your statue?"

Aman didn't answer.

"However, you have a good shareholder. Use him and make OUR hospital modern. Improve it with the latest equipment."

"Why did you come here, Sheetal?"

Sheetal was stuck.

"I came here to remember you about our wedding. We have only fifteen days, but you have not started shopping yet..."

"I will do it online. Anything else?"

Sheetal understood he didn't want her to discuss the hospital and its shares.

That was when Sheetal got a call. She saw the caller. It was Pramod. She attended the call.

"Hann, Pramod..."

"Sheetal, police arrested me."

"What? The police arrested you?" Sheetal's voice was filled with shock and disbelief, mirroring her reaction to this unexpected twist.

Aman looked at her, frowning.

"Why did the police arrest you?" She lowered her tone.

"Khushi trapped me."

Sheetal was horrified. She automatically looked at Aman, who was gazing at her.

"Where are you now?"

"I'm taken to the Indira Nagar Police station."

"Ok, I'm coming."

Sheetal stood up.

"What happened?" Aman asked.

"Nothing... it's a simple matter."

"Is arresting your brother a simple thing?"

"No, no, it's a nuisance case. I will meet you later."

Sheetal walked. Aman leaned on the seat, looking at her retreating figure.

Sheetal came out of the hospital and dialled Anjali. She picked up the call.

"Where is Jeejaji?"

"Jeejaji? He would be in the office."

"Call him and tell him the police arrested Pramod."

"Whaat? Why did they arrest him?"

"Your sister-in-law is playing. She trapped Pramod to the police."

"Whaaat?"

"Yes, she started her game as she said,"

Anjali gulped down hard.

"If she started playing, why do you want Shyam to come to the police station? What if she says anything to him?"

"Jeejaji should not listen to her but shout at her. It's in your hands. Screw him well and send. That's why I called you. Otherwise, would not I have called him directly?"

"Ok..." Anjali disconnected the call and planned what to do.

She called Shyam and talked in a crying voice.

"Shyamji..."

"Anju... what happened?"

"Pramod is arrested"

"Whaaat? But why? What did he do?"

"He did nothing..."

"If he did nothing, why did the police arrest him?"

"It's because of your sister."

"Whaaat? What did you say?" Shyam stammered.

"I said it's because of your sister... Khushi"

"Khushi? Is she here?"

"Then? Without coming here, how did she make his arrest?"

"Why did she make him arrest?"

"To revenge all of us... to make our lives hell..."

"What rubbish?"

"Yes, Shyamji. Pramod said she said so."

Shyam gulped down hard.

"She said she would make our life hell and make us bow down. I don't know what she is going to do. I'm scared. She came after long years to make us suffer."

"Where is Pramod now?"

"He is in the Indira Nagar police station."

"I will bring him," Shyam said, disconnecting the call and calling his lawyer.

Sheetal came to the Indira Nagar police station and got stuck. She saw Khushi filing a written complaint, which she handed to the inspector. She frowned to see a handsome man with Khushi. Who was that?

"Ok, madam. We will take action against him," The inspector said.

"Thank you, sir" Khushi and Arnav stood up.

Khushi saw Sheetal standing. Without giving heed to her, she said,

"Shall we go, Arnav?"

Arnav nodded yes and saw Sheetal. He didn't react as he expected someone from Pramod's family. He walked with Khushi as if there was no one called Sheetal. Sheetal blocked Khushi's way.

"Withdraw the case," she said.

"Who is she? Do you know her?" Khushi asked Arnav seriously, who shrugged his shoulders off.

"Don't act smart, Khushi. I know you intentionally trapped him."

"Trapped? He misbehaved with me in public. Many people, including two police constables, witnessed it. If you have doubts, go and ask them" She was supposed to go, but Sheetal clutched her hand and dragged her to the inspector. Khushi didn't try to take her hand but followed her. Arnav also went with them.

The inspector saw her dragging Khushi.

"Hello, madam, who are you? Why are you dragging her?"

"I'm Pramod's sister. Sir, she intentionally trapped him in this case. You will get to know the truth if you enquire her."

"Madam, you don't have to tell us what to do. He misbehaved with her publicly. Two of our constables were on the spot. They saw him dragging her forcefully." He looked at the constables.

"Yes, sir. He drew her hand, and she struggled to take it off. We saw that. Her friend fought with him for misbehaving with her. Then, only we got into the matter."

"What the hell... who fought with him?" Sheetal asked angrily.

"I beat him... so what?" Arnav asked.

"How dare you hit my brother! What do you think of him? Do you know who he is?"

"I don't know who he is but what he did. Anyone would be beaten up if he misbehaved with girls."

"Oh, who are you to Khushi? What relationship do you have?"

"Why should I tell you that? Who are you to me?"

"I'm going to file a case against you for hitting my brother. Who gave you the right to hit my brother?"

Khushi looked at Arnav nervously.

"You don't worry, Khushi. I recently got a DOCTOR friend, AMAN MATHUR. He will get me out of jail on bail."

There was no need to say Sheetal was horrified hearing Aman's name. How did this man know Aman? He said he RECENTLY got a friend. How did he get his friendship? Sheetal's mind didn't work, whereas Khushi looked at him stunningly.

Taking his phone, Arnav was about to dial Aman. As Arnav and Khushi hadn't expected, Sheetal snatched his phone.

"What the..." Arnav gritted his teeth.

"I just said that, but I won't file a case against you. You no need to call your friend here..." she grinned madly.

Arnav folded his arms and glared at her.

"So, would you snatch my phone? Can I file a case against you for snatching my basic right?" He asked with a dangerous gaze.

"Sir, I'm nervous about my brother. That's why I behaved senselessly. Please, you can go..."

Arnav looked at Khushi, who was staring at him as if he was a ghost. He gestured for her to walk. They came out. Sheetal rushed behind them cautiously. She saw Shyam getting out of the car. She ran to him and tried to divert him from seeing Khushi.

Khushi, who got into the car, saw him. She gulped down her emotions. After all, she was seeing him after five years. She saw Sheetal trying hard not to look in her direction. Arnav started the car. Khushi was looking at Shyam all the way out of the police station.

"What happened? Shyam asked.

"Nothing... Pramod is arrested for misbehaving with a girl."

"Who is that girl?"

"I don't know... she left before I came here." Sheetal lied.

Shyam looked at her frowning and walked inside the station with his lawyer, who accompanied him.

People had no idea someone was shocked to see Khushi with Arnav in the police station... Aman Mathur. He followed Sheetal and saw her talking on the phone with someone very seriously. He heard her asking to SCREW Shyam. That made Aman cautious. So he came to the police station following Sheetal.

Why did Sheetal want Shyam to be screwed? Didn't she say it was a simple case? Then why did she plan to this extent? He followed her to get the answers to those questions. There, he saw an unexpected person, Khushi... more than that, Arnav was with her. That meant the girl who Khushi threatened in the jewellery shop was not Sheela but Sheetal. Why did Khushi threaten her? For what reason? Why did Sheetal was silent? He knew she was not such a woman. Taking his mobile, Aman dialled Arnav.

In the meanwhile,

Khushi was constantly looking at Arnav. He smiled at her casually.

"Do you know Dr. Aman?"

"Yeah, I know him..."

"How?"

"I'm one of his hospital shareholders", he lied.

"Do you know who the girl is?"

"Who?"

"Sheetal"

"Is it? Why didn't you tell me that before?"

"If you know Aman, how didn't you know Sheetal?"

"I told you I'm one of his shareholders. Then how do I know her? I recently got his friendship. Thinking about inviting him for dinner."

"Then how did you say you would call Aman in front of Sheetal?"

"He is a famous doctor—a reputed man in society. So, the police will consider his bail. That's why I said so."

"Didn't you say that intentionally?"

"What intention, Khushi?"

Khushi frowned.

"If I had known she was Sheetal, I would have done that intentionally. I have missed it" he punched the steering wheel.

Khushi looked at him suspiciously.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Didn't I tell you about Aman?"

"Khushi, I asked my accountant to invest in the share market. He bought Mathur Hospital shares expecting to get a good profit. But after buying the shares, only we got to know Aman Mathur is not running a hospital to get profit," he sighed.

Khushi was dumbfounded. She could not conclude if he lied.

That was when Arnav got a call. Arnav saw Aman's name flashing. He looked at Khushi, who was looking at him. He smiled at her and attended the call through Bluetooth.

"Hello..."

"ASR, this is Aman..."

"Oh, hi... how are you?"

"Where are you?"

"Me... I'm out of the office..."

Aman frowned. Why did he avoid telling him where he was? Why did he avoid taking his NAME? Didn't he want Khushi to know he knew him?

"I want to talk to you, ASR."

"Do you want me to meet you?"

"No...want to talk..."

"Shall I call you later...?"

"Ok. Bye"

Arnav disconnected the call, leaving Aman suspicious.
