Three Days Later.

Anjali walked aimlessly through the hospital corridors clinging on to the brown envelope in her hands with her eyes red from crying.

She saw people staring at her and limped hurriedly to her car and drove out totally oblivious of someone smiling as he dialed a number.

"Arnav, she got the results..... What do I do now? " Aman revealed to Arnav.

"That all for now...... Come to the office and I hope your men have tapped hers and Shyam's phone and are tailing him everywhere he and Anjali goes? "

"They are. " Aman replied smiling as he cut the call.

He was happy seeing his friend was finally weaning himself off Anjali's manipulations.

For the past five years, he had watched his boss dance to the tune of his sister like a fool and had on multiple occasions tried to point it out to him but he was met with hostility from Arnav until the day he meet Khushi and finally two days ago.

Flashback.

Aman groaned as he tapped on the night stand by his bed trying to reach his phone.

He unplugged it from the charger, sat on the bed letting out a loud yawn and stared at his phone.

It was Arnav calling and the time was twenty five minutes past two in the morning.

"Hello boss? "

"Aman how many times have I told you not to call me boss...... It makes me feel like an old man. "

Aman laughed because for the past few weeks he had hated him calling him boss unlike before when he didn't bother.

He was loving this new and improved version of his friend and knew it was because of Khushi and he vowed to be her protector until the end of his life.

"Aman, I want you to call the director at City hospital and tell them I need the content of Anjali's medical report as soon as possible. "

Aman was shocked hearing Arnav call Anjali by her name and not Di.

"Hello Aman are you there? " Arnav asked with a glint of concern in his voice.

"Yes I am but why are you calling your sister by her name?....... For the past five years I have known you, you have never called her Anjali before. "

Aman heard Arnav sigh in the background and his made him perk up knowing something was seriously wrong.

"You were right Aman and am sorry for not believing you when you said Anjali was just using me........ I treated you like garbage because of that am I want to say am sorry. "

To say Aman was shocked hearing his arrogant friend apologize to him would be an understatement but it also made her happy that he finally opened his eyes.

"Don't apologize friend........ I would have done the same if I had the kind of history you had with your sister....... I will definitely see into it now and greet Khushi bhabhi for me. "

"Okay....... See you tomorrow. " Arnav replied and hung up.

Flashback ends.

That very morning, Arnav revealed the truth about how Shyam and Anjali were plotting to get pregnant and use the pregnancy to force Nani to side with her and make her stay in RM.

All this was heard by Khushi who had woken up in the wee hours to get water only to over hear Anjali and Shyam plotting in the kitchen as Shyam poured Anjali some water.

"It seems their plan has failed because Anjali can never be a mother because she had uterine fibroids and no amount of medication can make her pregnant........ Her eggs are not even viable to be used for surrogacy."

Aman drove out of the hospital to ARD feeling happy that Anjali's sick plan has failed but this alerted him to be more cautious of Anjali as now she is desperate and desperate people do bad things.

ARD.

Arnav's office.

Arnav sat in one of his couch and run his hand through his hair.

Khushi who was staring at him walked up to him and he snaked his arms around her waist as she stroked his hair.

"All this means Anjali faked her pregnancy in our past life....... Knowing the kind of person she is now, I know she knew about Shyam from the beginning. " Arnav said as he broke his grip on Khushi and she sat on the center table facing him.

"I think so too........ She is a vile woman and am sure she faked her pregnancy to get attention....... Because her insistence of wanting Shyam back after everything made me realize she knew Shyam would expose her if she didn't get him back to RM........ She has been manipulating us from the beginning and like fools we all fell for it.......... Now she is wounded by this news....... She will do anything to stay in RM........ We have to be very vigilant. "

Arnav nodded and called Aman to enquire about the background check they asked on Shyam and Anjali and Aman replied it will be ready in three days.

"In three days our revenge will begin." Arnav said as he held Khushi's hand with his eyes shimmering with unshed tears.

Khushi hugged him and he reciprocated as the tears betrayed him.

"I hurt you all because of that witch and my pathetic ego. " Arnav cried and Khushi shook her head and broke the hug as she wiped his tears.

"We are both similar in way you never imagined. "

Arnav frown and pushed her hand away standing up and turning her back to Khushi who knew he was angry by the comparisons.

"Stop comparing yourself to me Khushi....... I was a monster........ You will never hurt a flie whilst I did the most despicable things to you....... Don't compare an angel to a monster. "

Khushi chuckled and held his hand, pulling him back on the couch and faced him.

"You may be right in that aspect but we are still the same........ You will do anything for you sister and family and I did the same for my family......... We toiled day and night for our families...... We have family members who are biased towards us.......... We are both selfless and will self destruct ourselves just to protect the people we love....... The unresolved trauma your suffered from seeing you mother kill herself was used to exploit you....... I was always made to tell guilty about being adopted even by my own family and Garima and buaji took advantage of it to make me do their bidding......... We are similar but we have a chance to put ourselves first...... I don't know if we will be together in the future but I want to cherish what we have now. "

Tears streamed down Arnav's cheeks and he pulled Khushi ont his lap hugging her and she reciprocated smiling as she rubbed his back.

"In three days, I will lay the foundation for the destruction of Anjali, Shyam and Mami for murdering our child and you....... I will avenge you baby...... If I tell your mother about you, she will have a break down and I need her to be strong....... It's selfish of me and I planned to tell her but I just can't...... I will morn you alone........ Please come back some day to us. " Arnav thought as he hugged Khushi.

RM.

Shyam looked pissed seeing the results of her test and this shocked Anjali who thought he will sympathize with her.

"We will now have to live in some middle class house because of you. " Shyam accused shocking Anjali. "Don't stare at me like that...... This was our chance to stay in RM and now it's gone........ I didn't tolerate being a mockery in front of guest and my colleagues just to live some miserable lifestyle........ I was mocked and made fun off because you didn't want to live like me and I tolerated it because I love you but I don't think I can do this anymore....... I think it's better we divorce."

Anjali panicked and jumped off the bed kneeled holding Shyam's leg and she started wailing.

"Shyam please don't leave me...... You know I love you and no one will want me except you....... Please don't leave me...... I will do anything for you....... Just say the word. "

Shyam smirked internally at how now he had the power in the relationship.

He helped Anjali stand up and wiped her tears.

"Am sorry Anjali....... I love you too but I want to be a father which you can't give me and it's the least I deserve for putting up with disrespect just for you. " Shyam knew how to make Anjali dance to his tune now and was taking advantage of it.

He wanted Anjali to be the one to come out with the suggestion on how they will stay in RM so that if they were to be caught, she will be the one to take the blame.

Unknown ot Anjali, Shyam has been recording their conversation to take bits of it to incriminate Anjali if they fail but unknown to him too, Arnav had set up hidden cameras in their room which was operated by Aman's men.

"We can still have a baby. " Anjali beamed as an idea lighted in her head.

"How? " Shyam asked with a frown.

"No one knows I can't get pregnant........ We will pretend I am pregnant but then will pay a woman to be a surrogate and sell us her eggs .......... We will use your sperm that way no one will question us when a DNA test is requested........ We still have two months and three weeks to accomplish this........ I will sell the diamond set I got from Nani on our wedding day and use it to pay the surrogate....... To avoid suspicion, you will allow Aman complete the house....... After the woman is pregnant and I pretend to be pregnant using her results, we will move to the house when it's ready but then we will fake an accident which will force Nani to let us back into RM....... We will take advantage of Mami's love for me and knowing her, she is capable of ruining Nani's reputation just to get us back here......... Nani and Arnav think they are smart but I am smarter than them. "

Shyam was impressed by her plan but it also scared her seeing the deranged look in her eyes when she spoke about Nani and Arnav.

It wear off when he realised he will benefit more from this.

He hugged Anjali who reciprocated happily  Shyam smirked knowing he now has her to take the blame if they get caught.

RM.
Evening.

The entire family except Arnav and Khushi sat down ready to have dinner.

Nani looked disappointed not seeing Arnav and Khushi.

Shyam cleared his throat gaining everyone's attention.

"Naniji, I spoke to Aman this afternoon and gave him all the information on our house....... He said it's going to take some time....... I want to thank you for all the help and kindness you've shown me and Anjali. "

Nani cringed not believing in his sincere gratitude but Akash and Manohar nodded with smiles on their faces but Mami was glaring at Nani who saw this but ignored her and nodded at Shyam.

The sound of slippers drawing closer broke theore reverie and Nani smiled seeing Khushi and Arnav walking towards them and taking their seat after greeting everyone.

"Happy to see all of us here for dinner........ It was once really rare for Arnav to joins us for dinner but now he is here everyday and I thank you for that. " Nani exclaimed almost on the verge of crying and Manohar squeezed her hand. "Thank you my dear. "

"Thanks from me and Akash. " Manohar exclaimed gratefully and Akash smiled and nodded.

The trio rolled their eyes at this until Arnav's phone rang and he pulled it out, received it as HP and his brothers served them.

"You listen to me who ever you are...... If you won't tell me what you have against my sister then you better stop calling me. " Arnav yelled and cut the call as the others looked on.

Anjali shuddered hearing this and looked up at Shyam who stared at her confused.

"Arnav is everything okay? " Nani asked concerned and Arnav stared at Khushi who nodded and he sighed and turned to stare at Anjali and back to Nani.

"For the past two weeks, I occasionally get calls from a private number saying they have information about Anjali but won't tell me what it is....... All the person says is she did something horrible four years ago and I should ask her. "

Everyone turned to Anjali who looked petrified and pale.

"Why are you all staring at me?...... I didn't do anything. " Anjali yelled taking everyone except Arnav and Khushi who were smirking aback.

This was all false but they wanted everyone especially Nani to doubt Anjali and lose faith in her completely.

"If you didn't do anything, then why are you so defensive and looking so pale? " Akash asked staring at her suspiciously as he adjusted his glass on his nose.

Anjali stared crying and Shyam rubbed her back to calm her down but no one except Mami fell for it.

"Hello hi bye bye..... She didn't do it so why are you pestering her." mami yelled at Akash who rolled his eyes.

"For someone who didn't do anything so seems to be behaving suspiciously. " Khushi  uttered in a accusing tone making Anjali stop crying and glare at her.

"Arnav? " Nani called out turning everyone's attention to her. "If she won't tell us then have Aman find out...... Her reaction is not normal and only proves she is not being truthful. " Arnav nodded and Nani's head snapped back to Anjali with a stern look on her face. "If I find out you did something despicable from Aman then I won't hesitate to disown and ostracise you and any support from this family......... You better tell the truth or suffer the consequences when the time comes. "

"I swear Nani, I didn't do anything. " Anjali cried but what she heard from Arnav who was speaking to Aman made her shiver with fear.

"Yes the person said it has to do with how Anjali and Shyam met....... Please look into it. "

Everyone stared at him as he nodded and cut  the call afterwards.

Anjali and Shyam gulped knowing what the person was was speaking about.

"Are two still going to be sitting there or tell us the truth? " Manohar said calmly staring at them but there was another who was nervous as she knew how the two met.

"Hello hi bye bye........ Let's drop this and eat. " Mami laughed nervously as all eyes turned to her.

Manohar knowing his wife like the back of his hand knew she knew about how they met.

"Manu? " Mami hmmed nervously seeing the serious look on her husband's face. "You either tell me the truth or get ready this very night to pack up and leave this house. "

Mami's eyes widened in shock but kept numb.

Manohar having enough stood up abruptly knocking the chair down in the process.

He walked upstairs and Mami followed with the others staring at the stair.

A minute or two later, the loud wailing of Mami jerked all of them up and the rushed to their room to find Manohar walking put of his closet with Mami's clothes and shoved them into a large suit case as Mami cried and pleaded.

She turned to Nani and Akash excepting them to stop Manohar but they both stared at her in disgust.

Arnav and Khushi discreetly stared at each other smirking.

This was their plan to either corner one of them to confess and it was working.

They knew Mami will creak soon especially knowing she will be a laughing stock back at her village because of how horrible she treated her family members for marrying into a rich family.

"I will tell the truth. "

Shyam and Anjali paled hearing this and Manohar also stopped midway into the closet and turned to his wife.

"I will tell the truth but please know that they love each other and what thye did was for the best....... She was bad woman and treated Shyam like trash. " Mami cried out.

"Who are you talking about? " Akash asked confused as his father and grandmother waited for Mami's answer.

"Shyam's first wife. " Nani, the father and son looked shocked and turned to find Anjali hiding behind Shyam who looked down ashamed and it hit them.

They had an affair which Mami knew about.

Nani nearly fell backwards but Arnav and Khushi were right there to hold on to her.

A loud slap resounded in the room as everyone saw Mami fall to the floor by the impact as Manohar towered over her shaking with his eyes glassy with unshed tears.

"I went against my mother for you....... I villainized her for not accepting you....... I always thought she was wrong but she has always been right....... She was right when she said Arvind Malik wasn't a good man and disowned Ratna for marrying him and divorced Papa for supporting that marriage and look at how it turned out........ She was right when she said you were an indecent and immoral woman and today you proved her right......... I don't care what his wife did to him but an affair is wrong regardless of who was wronged in the relationship........ You disgust me and this marriage is over. "

Manohar kneeled in front of a crying Mami with his tears now streaming down his cheeks.

He stared at her face and back to her neck and before anyone could register what was happening, the beads of Mami's nuptial necklace scattered everywhere as Mami cried uncontrollably.

"This marriage is done...... From now on you are no longer my wife......... I won't humiliate you by kicking you out but you will no longer exist as my wife......... Outside you may be known as my wife but behind closed doors, we are done....... Pack your belongings and go the guest room."

Manohar turned and walked back into the closet and picked up a medium size suitcase, opened Mami's jewelry box and emptied it and all her jewelry in the drawers into the bag.

He moved further into the closet and pulled out all the expensive sarees he had bought and those Mami bought herself into a large suit case.

He called out to HP and gave him the bag and suitcase.

"Kind and hardworking people like you deserve all this........ Share it amongst your sisters and wives........ If anyone dares ask of it back, let me know. "

HP was confused hearing this u opened the bag and suitcase to find expensive emerald, diamonds and sapphire necklaces, earrings, bracelets, bangles and multiple expensive sarees in it.

He stared at Manohar and back to Nani who smiled and nodded at him.

He thanked them and walked out avoiding the angry gaze of Shyam.

To be continued.
