"Good evening lovely viewer of KTV. I am Asha Jha reporting live from the auditorium of AR Designs where in a few minutes ASR will be speaking to the media..... We have no idea what it is but seeing all the media houses here tonight it must be something huge...... And here comes the big boss himself. "

Arnav sat down together with Aman and Akash. He looked up to see his wife, Shashi, Rohan and Meera standing among the people with worry on their faces. It broke his heart to see his family in pain because of his decision but he will definitely make the culprits pay dearly. He looked beside him to find Anjali, Payal and Garima sitting beside me with their head held high, he felt disgusted and wanted to strangle them but controlled himself. His mind tracked back to how they got here.

Flashback begins.

"What do you want? " Arnav asked Anjali.

"I want you to sign everything you own in my sister, mother and my name..... You will call a press conference now where you will declare yourself the illegitimate son of Arvind and Ratna as his mistress.... You will tell them my mother was the real wife of Arvind and I and Payal are his legitimate children and that you also handed everything you own as compensation for snatching our rights from us..... That is the only way we will redraw out statement against Sudhadra Malik. " Anjali demanded making everyone look at her in disgust.
Khushi who was angry charged at her but was held back on time by Arnav.

"You bitch" Meera yelled at Anjali and  together she and Khushi charged again at Anjali but was held back by their respective men.

"You bitch you have the nerve to demand something like that.... I won't spare you" Khushi shouted while struggling to get out of Arnav's strong grip but couldn't.

"Stop it Khushi.... Calm down. " Arnav said while holding on to a struggling Khushi. Khushi calmed down and stopped wiggling but was hyperventilating and Arnav turned her around . " Khushi... Do you trust me. " Arnav asked and Khushi nodded. "Everything is going to fine and that also goes for all of you.... Trust me when I say everything is going to be fine... " Arnav said looking at his family.

He then turned to a smirking Anjali and said.

"I agree..... I will call the press conference and Mr Roy will be here tomorrow morning to sign over everything...."

"I knew you would.... I have another request.... I and my daughters need the best and most expensive outfits for the press conference.... We want to be there when you announced us as the new owners of everything but be warned we have nothing to lose but you will be hunted by the media forever if you Dadi's deeds come out..... Your Dadi is old and won't be able to handle the stress that will come with the trial.... So before you play smart with me you better think of what will happen to your Dadi. " Garima exclaimed in a victorious voice and an evil smirk on her face.

"Garima....You are shameless and heartless..... And God will definitely punish you for this.... Mark my words. " Shashi said in disgust.

But Garima was not affected but what she didn't know was that  Shashi's words will come true sooner that day.  Garima and her daughters who were glaring at Shashi for what he said, Arnav took out his phone and sent a WhatsApp message to Aman and Akash who read it and smirked making Meera, Lavanya and Khushi confused. The men whispered to their women to create a diversion, they didn't know why but did without arguing.
Lavanya charged at Payal by pulling her hair, Meera held Anjali in a chock  hold while Khushi charged at Garima slapping her left and right.

Taking that as a cue Arnav quickly told  Aman, Akash and Rohan about his plan to get rid of them once and for all.  After they were done they moved to the women and yanked them off the witches whose hair were looking even messier than a bird nest.

"Enough you three.... (Turning to Aman) Aman call for a press conference now..... Rohan get them some clothes from the boutique.... "
Arnav said in an angry voice.

"Bhai..... We can't give in to these witches like that. " Meera exclaimed in anger and almost on the verge of crying.

"Meera is right..... We can't give in. " Khushi said being in the same state like Meera.

"We have to for Dadi's sake..... Do you both want Dadi to stay in prison. " Arnav asked and both nodded no.

"Please go and dress up.... The press conference will start in a few hours.... After that we all  leave the country..... Okay. " Arnav said to Khushi, Meera and Lavanya and the trio left to their respective room glaring at the three witches who were smiling at them in victory.

Shashi also moved to his room leaving Arnav with the others. Arnav glared at them but they didn't flinch like before but instead threw a mocking look at him. Arnav was moving towards his room when the broken and crying voice of Nani stopped him.

"Am sorry chote.... I didn't mean for all of this to happen... I didn't know they heard Sumi confessing to killing Arvind."

"Just shut up....(Arnav barked making Nani,Mami and Buaji flinch while Anjali Payal and Garima smirked). My dadi didn't kill that bastard.... She save me from death.... You hear me.... I thought you have changed but no.... You are still in cahoots with that whore's daughter.... You finally got what you wanted right..... With Dadi gone you think I will run to cry in your arm right? " Arnav asked.

"No chote.... That was not my intension..... " A crying Nani exclaimed.

"Really..... Then why the hell did you not speak up? " Arnav yelled.

"I was in shocked chote.... Believe me... " Nani replied in between sobs.

"You are a curse in my life.... My own mother's mother caused me more pain than that bastard, his mistress and daughters combined.... After Dadi is released am leaving with my family... But don't worry, since you have been her support I know she will take you in.... You are dead to me Devyani Singh Raizada. " Arnav did and walked away but heard what Anjali said to Nani.

"Nani... Please find somewhere else to stay.... I don't want beggars in my house.... And as for you two (pointing to buaji and Mami) you can either continue being our servants or leave with this old hag. " Anjali said and walked away with her mother and sister.

Mami then held a broken and crying Nani and led her to their room with buaji trailing behind.

"Get ready Anjali Malik.... You, your mother and sister will know what happens when you mess with my family.... Just wait and watch how I destroy you. " Arnav said and walked into his study to find Aman and Akash there. Both turned to see him and an said.

"Arnav..... We called the heads of the media houses and told them about your history, Anjali and the families deeds excluding what Dadi did and the current situation now.... They have promised to play along and pretend they don't know anything... They were not happy about other media houses being there but when Akash mentioned your name and what you will do to them if they refused.... They immediately panicked and agreed after all one phone call can shut their businesses down. " Aman said to Arnav.

"And that the power of ASR. " Akash said in a proud tone making all of them laugh.

Arnav then moved closer to them and hugged them, after a few seconds he pulled out.

"Thank you all so much.... I will never be here if  because of you two.... I and both of you worked hard in our own way to make me ASR.... And it something I will never forget. " Arnav said sincerely.

" It's all you bhai.... You laid that foundation by yourself.... And am proud to have you as a brother." Akash exclaimed with a teared up eyes.

"Akash is right buddy.... You did all by yourself.... And am honoured to have a friend like you. " Aman said

"Am also honoured to have you too... Aman make sure Meera about knows our plan and Akash you also do the same with Lavanya.... I will handle Khushi, Rohan and Babuji. " Arnav said and they all moved out to close the three witches chapters once and for all.

Flashback ends.

Arnav then raised his hand and immediately all the commotion came to an end. They was a dead silence as the media watched on.

"You all know the reason why you are here right. " Arnav asked with a smirk on his face and that of Akash and Aman which didn't go unnoticed by the three witches who all of a sudden became uncomfortable.

"Yes ASR.... We here for you to expose your father's mistress who together with her daughters killed your son and sent your Dadi to prison on false charges and blackmailed you to give them you properties in exchange for your Dafi's freedom. " One reporter said

"And we how see the three disgusting women here are the ones..... The old woman is your late father's mistress and Anjali and your sister in law are the offsprings of their illegitimate affair?" Another reporter

This shocked the three witches.

Akash leaned closer to them.

"Don't you dare get up..... There is a sniper around here who will shot bhai but not to kill him and guess who everyone will blame.... The three of you.... So sit and enjoy the ride."  Akash lied to them.

"You are absolutely right.... But I want to tell everything you know about our gathering here to the viewers everywhere my self...... Years ago Garima father worked as a gardener at my grandparents house where she trapped Arvind Malik in her fake love... My Dadi caught her telling some of the employees kids about how she trapped my father. " Arnav said.

Arnav then told them about how his father tricked his grandparents into not disinheriting him by using his mother who was loved by his grandparents more than their sons. How he father also switched Anjali with his stillborn big sister, how Arvind never loved him expect Anjali and how he continued with his affair with Garima who was married which lead to the birth of Payal. How the truth was discovered on the wedding day of Anjali which lead to his mother suicide and Arvind taking his own life afterwards, them being kicked out after by their uncle and how he worked to build AR, his meeting with Khushi, their fights, love and finally marriage which happened due to a misunderstanding, his kidnapping by Shyam and Khushi saving him and him kicking Shyam out, the plot by Anjali which lead to the death their son. The unjust arrest and imprisonment of Akash for attempted murder on his life due to NK and Anjali's conspiracy . How he lost Khushi because of his failed plan. And finally Anjali,  Payal and Garima's blackmail.

After he was done everyone and viewers everywhere we angry at the three witches who looked so embarrassed and wish the floor will just open up and swallow them.

"So ladies and gentlemen.... That my story and the story of these disgusting women. " Arnav concluded.

"Lies..... It's all lies.... I and my sister are the legitimate children and my mother is the wife of Arvind Malik. " Anjali yelled.

"Why should we believe a woman like you.... A woman who was the mistress of a married man and helped him divorce his wife to marry you.... You are disgusting.... After all it runs in your blood. " One reporter exclaimed in disgust.

"Yes she is right..... We all know  ASR loved you but broke his marriage and murdered his child and as if that's not enough you dare blackmail him.... You and your sister and mother are a disgrace to women.... Shame on you. " Another reporter voiced out and instantly everyone started cursing and bad mouthing them and Arnav and the others smirked in victory. Payal couldn't can it anymore.

"Enough..... Why you are badmouthing us when ASR just confessed to maltreating his wife and instead of going after him you are here shaming us. " Payal yelled trying to divert their attention.

"Do you think we are stupid not know you are trying to divert our attention.... Yes he confessed and that one step to his redemption and the final is that he did it based on a misunderstanding... Shameless woman..... But what you and your sister and mother did is unforgivable.... Am sure just like your mother and sister here you have affairs behind Mr Akash Singh Raizadas back. " The reporter said and Payal paled in shock but she wasn't going to give up easily.

"What nonsense.... I have been faithful to Akash throughout our marriage. " Payal said thinking Akash won't expose her because she is Shivani's mother. But she was in for a surprise.

"Enough with your lies.... The reporter is telling the truth and you know it.. (Payal widened her eyes in shock and Akash turned to the media) " You are right about her affair.... She only married me because of money and status and she on countless occasion said it to my face.. She didn't love me.... She was also a horrible mother who taught our daughter to disobey elders but now my daughter is a good girl because of the positive influence around her.... I wanted my freedom and that's why I divorced her" Akash said exposing Payal who widened her eyes in shock.

"Lies... It's all lies... He is doing this because he wants to be with Lavanya.... That shameless woman... First she trapped Arnav and now Akash... And now she has snatched my daughter who now calls her mummy. " Payal said and everyone turned their attention on a shocked Lavanya.

"Enough Payal....  She never trapped me.... She is just a friend whom I asked to pretend to be my girlfriend because of the pressure of getting married. " Arnav said defending Lavanya.

"And my love for Lavanya is none of your business... Shame on you...trying to degrade Lavanya just to divert their attention on you. " Akash exclaimed shocking everyone.

"I didn't have an affair. " Payal yelled.

"You did cheat on your ex husband with me. " Someone said from behind.

Everyone turned to see it was. All were confused why he was but Payal and the Raizadas knew who he was.
He walked up to the podium and stood in front of the media.

"I am Abhishek..... The lover of Payal.... She and I were supposed to be married but due to some misunderstandings we didn't...  A few months after that she got married and shortly after that she came to me and lied that Akash was maltreating her and I  loved her so I believed her and so started our affair..... (Turning to Akash)  Am sorry Mr Raizada.... I didn't know she was lying.... I thought she loved me too but she was just using us.... (Turning to the media.) Am sorry for everything... Please forgive me and don't believe any thing that comes out of her mouth. " Abhishek said and walked away with a sad face as the media kept on taking his pictures but was smiling inward for making Payal pay for what Akash told him not knowing it was a lie..

Akash and the others weree shocked and so was Payal who slowly sat down in defeat. Garima was numb at the turn of events. Questions upon questions were asked and Akash and Areas revealed all of their deeds including the attempt on his life by Payal.
The police then entered Garima, Anjali and Payal were arrested ,the media followed them taking pictures and videos of them as they were put into the police van. After they were taken away Aman went out and thanked the media for coming and asked the bodyguards to escort the media out of the premises.

Inside AR, Mami who also came there in disguised in a Buqqa pulled Lavanya away from there. Lavanya struggled to free herself from the woman's grip but couldn't. After they were out of sight Mami took off her veil.

"Mami!.... What are you doing here? " A shocked Lavanya asked.

" Hello hi bye bye...I come here to see you. " Mami replied.

"What for? " Lavanya asked.

"Hello hi bye bye....I came here to ask you not to leave my son and granddaughter.... He loves you very much.... I know that because when Akash loves something or someone.... His eyes twinkle which didn't with Payal..... Please promise me you will be there for him.... Promise me. " Mami exclaimed looking at Lavanya with expectation.

"I promise. " Lavanya said

"Hello hi bye bye.... Thank your Miss Tiptop.... I can now go away in peace..... This maybe the last time we meet.... So please don't forget your promise because I know you love my Akash. " Mami exclaimed enthusiastically and kissed Lavanya's forehead and run off.

Lavanya was confused about Mami's behavior and stood there for almost five minutes after Mami was gone. She then realized Mami was saying goodbye. And she panicked knowing it wasn't a normal goodbye and run back to inform Akash.
