"Why did you do that maa?" Kavya's voice held the tinge of anger she felt towards her mother whenever she used Chandini as bait to twist things.

"I know his demeanour very well Kavya, I practically raised him up all through his life. Believe me if I say he hasn't sniffed anything at all for the past three years of you taking up this mission and tracking his vandalizing activities. But that doesn't mean he will be staying as such for next 3 more days and he will be trapped. We are almost on our way to success so I need his mind to be delusional and not think anything straight. Nothing more can do the job except Chandini. So I said we are going to have a video call with Chandini tomorrow discussing regarding wedding plans after which I will board my flight to India. Speaking of wedding his thoughts are now around controlling Chandini and being the sole owner of Dhore properties. To top it you made sure to make him believe that those 6 girls were delivered to those thugs who bought them. And as per our plan the client asked to seal the deal on Saturday so he need to be here until then. He is now feeling like everything is falling to place. Let him dream on such things." Vrindha spoke without any speck of doubts

"Maa whatever you say, I don't even like the idea of Chandini seeing that felon even if it's in a video call. But if you think that will help I will ensure Chandini will do it. Yea as you wished those 6 thugs who have bought the girls are now rotting in prison and the girls are safe back home with parents. Make sure to keep him busy with that prospective client you said so that I can execute last phase of our plans. With the evidences I have I can just take him in custody but that is not I wish for. Once I get my hands on him he will be nothing but a bag of bones" Kavya's voice was coated with asperity.

"Chill girl. I know my daughter will bloom in glory on every single thing she takes up. Now did you get the contact and address of that journalist you were talking about yesterday?" Vrindha extoled her daughter.

Kavya let out a chuckle on her Maa's praises and said "Yea maa, I was about to call her but ended up calling you. Tomorrow is going to hectic for both of us so I will talk to you in person when you land in India. That moment is the right time for Chand to know everything about us. She should be assured about the wedding cancellation." Kavya said in factual tone.

After few minutes of talk, Kavya dialled Ms.Anumithra Desai, the journalist she has to wheedle to handover the evidences she collected.

"Hello" the saccharine voice from other end made Kavya release her breath which she was holding onto

"Hey, Kavya Joshi here. Am I talking with Anumithra Desai?" Kavya asked with her fingers crossed. The evidence Anumithra will share can make a huge difference in tampering Pradeep's image

"Yes it's me, and that is my Maiden name. How can I help you?" Anu asked confused on who this certain Kavya Joshi could be

"I need to meet you regarding some study you did as a journalist." Kavya replied in a calculative tone

"Sorry but am not interested to discuss anything about my job or study to a stranger" Anu was about to hang on the call but Kavya's next series of question made her hooked to it

"Will not you be interested if it is about Pradeep Dhore the scum who ruined your peaceful life? Will not you be interested if what you going to reveal will save an innocent 20 year old girl from the scam of a marriage he is planning with her? Even if the stranger you are talking to is a CBI under mission to take down that lowlife?"

Anu looked at Pranav who sat stunned on what he was hearing from the other end of call. He returned home early to spend some peaceful time with his wife Mithu. He piqued sudden interest in the call when his wife's face paled on hearing about the job she once loved like her life. So he made her keep the mobile in speaker so that he can blast the person who is trying to disturb their serene life.

"How can we believe that you are a CBI?" Pranav's voice boomed on the call making Kavya confused on who this sudden intruder might be. Before she could voice out Pranav introduced himself.

"You don't have any other go but to believe me. May be you will confide in me when you meet me in person" Kavya said not knowing how to prove her as an undercover CBI

The person on other end seems to know what she is doing. No one ever knew that scum was the reason for Anu's bad name spread across and also she bargaining the evidences stating about an innocent girl she obviously knew about Anu's helping nature. Pranav was about to agree to meet her but Anu raced him and gave out her consent.

"We will meet you but not for any other reasons but just only to save the innocent girl's life he is playing with "

"So we will meet tomorrow noon at the Airport. Being a public place you can have your safety assured. Bring the details needed with you to take him down" Kavya answered and disconnected the call.

"Tomorrow is going to be hectic. I have to reach Mumbai, meet Anumithra and get evidences and report all the evidences with my mentor to judge to get the necessity captive orders." Kavya listed things out to herself.

CHANDINI POV:

The moment I was anticipating for past few days has come. I got my first project on being a freelancing Artist. I cannot believe it freaking myself.As much as I am glowing in zeal for things happening, a small corner of my heart is fearing the inevitable. Facing the Monster, alone. But I am sure if that one single moment passes then there is going to be happiness forever. I will have enough time on Sunday after meeting that monster after which I will go to Di home confront everything to Di, Jiju, Bhai and Arjun.I will claim not only Arjun but his entire family as mine. Di and Jiju will be thrilled knowing their Pari is Arjun's Basanti.

I haven't thought that there is going to be some soul who will look at me in concern but here I have an entire family to shield me and to top it all am been given different monikers. I was strong when I furnished my upcoming days on knowing his revenge but his entire change in attitude is making me week in executing them as I wished before. Now that I got the confirmation mailer I need to ensure my each and every minute is spent with my Arjun as I need to take up the project on coming Monday, a day intended for my Wedding. I also have a hard job of convincing everyone regarding the relocation I need to do for my job. Going through my miniscule details of my plan I started getting ready for my Date with Arjun.

Surprisingly my Buddhu called up saying Bhai will be there to pick me up. Though I was little perturbed but I needed this time to speak with Adi Bhai. After hoping to car and our pleasantry exchanges Adi Bhai questioned me.

"Choti, what did you thought the document to be which you signed yesterday?" I chuckled remembering what initially I thought it must be.

"Why are you laughing?" Adi Bhai asked in confusion

"I thought it was a marriage registration paper at first. Now am laughing thinking how crazy I could end up with such thoughts. You cannot blame me Bhai because he is so miffed with thoughts that Monday is my wedding." I spoke casually and turned to look at his side to see him staring at me. I raised my brows in question.

"You called me Bhai for first time "he spoke with a full blown smile and genuinity that I cannot help but smile at his happiness. This time I never felt conscious in addressing him it came with a flow. May be I have become comfortable around him and the word.

"And now you think they are not marriage papers? Why is it so?" his question made me come out of my waywardly thoughts.

"That's because my Arjun would never give me such a wedding, he will claim me as his wife with full rights and my full knowledge. He has been brought up by Di with such values which will never allow Arjun to take such drastic step. He will be happy only when Di and Jiju bless him in his big occasion. Also it's my brother who brought the papers to me, he would have thrashed my boyfriend black and blue for even having such weird thoughts about our wedding" when I completed, the former said smile was transferred now into jubilant one

"I don't know whom should I say as lucky? Arjun or you? You both complement each other very well. Di would be ecstatic if she listens you addressing her as one even before you meet her in person" Bhai said speeding the car towards our destination and that is when I realised I was almost about to reveal that I know Di and Jiju already.

I decided to keep myself shut not to blurt anything out when Bhai said "Choti, don't ever mistake him when he reveal about those document or any other secret he hid from you. Always hear him out. Believe me only thing that mattered to him was you and your safety. Promise me can you?"

Though Bhai's word gave me an idea what he was talking about I decided to give him what he asked for and said "I promise you Bhai,I will not mistake him and will always hear him out. Now that I gave you a promise I want a promise in return from you"

He looked taken back for a second and asked "What is it Choti?"

"Whatever be the situation Bhai, you will have his back, and you will be there for him as his support. In short you will be his whip hand. Promise me Bhai"

"I promise you Choti. But this promise doesn't require at all as I already do that job" he said chuckling making me to follow his stance. I know Bhai will always get Arjun's back but what I was most worried about is Di's and Jiju's anger when they get to know their initial plans on revenge. They will not approve the plans and stay miffed at him even for thinking to hurt a girl, if the girl is me then the world may turn upside down. By that time it is mandate that Arjun should have Bhai's support be.

I was quiet surprised when Bhai took me to their penthouse for the date today. It was much more surprising to see Arjun donning the chef avatar. I could not help but let out a chuckle seeing his messy look which was the result of cooking. My trance broke when Bhai cleared his throat saying "I done being the chauffeur for my Choti today buddy. She is all yours now. I am leaving for Di's home for the evening .Seeya"

"Thanks man" Arjun said giving man hug and a meaningful look to Bhai who in turn nodded and left the house.

ARJUN POV:

I was cooking for Basanti, deciding to have the DATE in my penthouse for a talk I am going to have with her. I was being unusually quirky and skittish from today morning, if not for Adi I would have been much worse. I cannot blame myself because that is how a sane person will act on such a situation. In 4 days my girlfriend is going to get married to a lowlife and I haven't planned anything to stop it. That was until today morning but now am a man with plans. I recalled everything that happened in the morning to get things straight before Chand arrives.

"Spit out " Adi's voice from doorway startled me. I looked up from the blank screen of my laptop which I was staring for hours together to see him giving me looks which says better not to mess.

"What?" I asked trying to maintain my composure.

"That is all you got to say? I know you are nothing but a nervous puddle but am not sure of the reason. Spell out what that shitty brain of yours is overthinking. If it is about documents then I will take care of Choti, because she will not stay angry once she understands your reasons." He said assuring me but that was not what kept me quirky.

"I am worried on how I will stop the wedding. It's just 4 days away. I just feel like making her stay here will lead to disasters. Right now all I want to do is to cancel the wedding, fuck the revenge and the doom of him that can rest awhile. I don't even want her to face him once again. Days back I was kidding that I should kidnap her but now I really feel like I should take her away to some place where she will be kept safe until the wedding is cancelled. I am not sure what should I do now?" I sounded agitated.

"Then take her away "Adi sounded normal giving me a casual look.

"What the?" I was about to curse him for his words

"Listen Arjun, what you say is right she has to be kept away from all this. The documents are filed in court and I will get the orders tomorrow. Heard that he will be back to India on Sunday and Mathur confirmed evidences will be handed over either tomorrow or day after to us. You bring her back here once we get the orders and evidences which will stall the wedding. Once this shit is all over you take her to our family. What say?" he said giving a detail idea of what should happen.

"Fair idea but Chand should accept for it. Will she? What about Anu and Jiju? What will I say them?" I again put out my worries in open.

"You need to ask Choti for her answers, I will deal with Di and Jiju. Plan the place and I will book the tickets" he said leaving me to my thoughts.

I came out of thoughts to see I have done with the cooking and it's time for Adi and Chand to be here. Right on cue door opened to reveal her with bright face which turned to a surprised one seeing me with apron coming out of kitchen. After Adi left for Anu's home I walked towards her who was checking out the interiors of my home.

"Care to greet me baby?" I asked taking her in my arms.

"Whoa seems someone is in good mood today." She said hugging me back.

"Yea I am. And why does you sound super enthu. Anything I should know?" I asked dragging her to the couch.

"Hmm yes but not now I will let you know soon. What's up with today Date plans? Seems someone is testing their culinary skills on me?" she gave me a mock look

"Basanti I am a good cook, once you taste my food you will wish every day I cook for you "I said with over confidence oozing out in my words.

"Enough of it first clean up and come am already hungry "she said rubbing her stomach.

When I was back she was laying out the food on table. Dinner was a silent affair thinking how am I going to make her accept for the plan I have devised. After our dinner we were sitting by the balcony in a bamboo swing. I had my arm wrapped around her and she was sitting on me looking out the busy streets of Mumbai.

"What is it Arjun?" she asked bringing me out of my thoughts.

I chuckled remembering how both brother and sister are alike in guessing my silences too.

"Chandini will you come with me to Goa for 3 days. We will go tomorrow noon and will be back on Monday "I said taking a deep breath hoping against hope that she will not sniff my plan.

"Is this what you were hesitating to ask me Buddhu?" she glared at me when I nodded she took my face in her arms and pronounced each words slowly.

"When I say I believe in you, I mean it Arjun. You don't have to hesitate to ask me on anything. I know you are wallowing about my wedding. Rest your thought process regarding it. I will take care of it. We have much more things to share with each other, all I ask is let Monday go and then we are going to have each other for entire life. As far as your question is concerned it's an OK from my end but we will be back here on Sunday night!! Is that okay?" once she completed and I heard an Ok from her side I felt all the burden has been taken away from my heart. I inched closer and pestered her with kisses all over her face. I am going to take her away from him, for now that is all I needed.

In a very short time she has captured not only my heart but my entire soul. She rules them with her single eye gesture.

"Arjunnnn" her deep moan made me realize that I should stop what I was doing before I get carried away. Kissing her has become an addiction for me. Peppering kisses along her jaw I rested my forehead on hers.

"This 3 days we are going to enjoy our life to fullest, no worries, no tensions and it's going to be entirely us " She said making me chuckle at her glee of going for a vacation.

Its already late and we are now standing by her home driveway our usual place for the last bits of banter after every date night.

"I so enjoyed today Arjun. Must say you cook fab,i don't mind having you as my cook forever" her eyes glinted in the moonlight.

"Only as cook eh?Cook don't do things which  i did with you minutes back.I must say you enjoyed it more than my cooking" I pulled her to me and said hinting at our tiny kissing parade happened in the car minutes before.

"Shameless" she shaded red hearing such open banter from me.I laughed at her antics and forwarded the gift box that was in the back seat of my car.

Her eyes dazzled with surprise when she opened the gift wrapper to see a saree and a box of bangles in them. I kissed her cheeks and said "My very first gift to you Chand. Surprise me one day wearing this for me."

She nodded her head and fluttered back home before pressing a haste kiss on my lips.

"I can't wait for the next 3 days!!only me and her !!our own time" those were the last thoughts before i drifted into sleep.

A/N: (Lengthy one ;) you are warned beforehand )

Hey Readers !!! I hate excuses so am not going to give one for being late for 10 days :( But now that here i am say me how is this update ?Good /Bad???

Finally Kavya - Anu - Pranav had a talk.Did you liked that one or the Bhai-Choti talks?

This story was suppose to have many of unexpected twists from the start and am happy that am succeeding in it.Read further to know 2 of other unexpected plans!!

Each one of you have guessed those documents to be Marriage papers but am really shorrieee to burst your bubble it is not :p I don't think our sane Adi will allow Arjun for such drastic step of marriage or our Arjun will disregard everyone feelings and do the haste job!! So what is it then? I tried my best to involve that mystery documents in this update but as usual i felt i might drag the part making you all loose interest,so in next update you will get to know them..Pinky promise!! 

And i was hitching to write this in A/N from few chapters but decided to wait for atleast one of you to ask this question.As in last chapter i got the wish fulfilled and i loved reading each comments.

 What did the evil Pradeep going to plan ?Answer is nothing at all.He is going to stay oblivious.Not because he is dummy villain but because other people out here are strong .Be it Vrindha or Kavya or Arjun or Adi. From first everyone wanted one thing and that is to strike him when he least expects so that is what will happen now!!Everyone (I mean all the 7 )had their own share of grief because of him so simply it is time for him to have a payback!!And that is the reason i haven't written anything at all from his POV. Anyone contradicts my thoughts?Please write in your POV i will love to hear from you!

As days are nearing to wedding i have lots to write on a single day event from all of the characters POV. Hope i am not missing the soul of the story!!

 Keep asking your questions if any so that i can get it clarified for you!!

Read,Vote,comment and share!!!
