Arnav was chopping his plants in anger, not caring
about what he was cutting, stem, leaves or flowers. Not noticing how he was
destroying the garden he had nurtured with his own hands.
He was unable to accept what Khushi had just told
him.
Some part of him wasn't ready to believe her.
The pain he had seen in her eyes when she had said
that.
As if she didn't want to, but still had to.
The thought of her being someone else's didn't
agree with him.
And god only knew why he was so upset about it.
He ruined one plant after another, unable to
contain the rage consuming him.
He didn't know why, but the idea of Khushi carrying
someone else's child was tearing him apart. He felt almost betrayed. The fact
that someone else had touched what should've been his and only his, wait,
when was Khushi ever his!
He didn't know what was going on with him any more,
all he knew was that this was all terribly wrong! Very, very wrong! A voice
deep down in his being told him that something wasn't right.
He had to get to the bottom of this! The story she
had told him was just not right! He could sense the falseness of
it.
...
Pam had found out everything that had happened.
She had been standing at the front porch of RM when
all the drama had commenced.
And now was the right time to make a move.
This was her chance to get back at Khushi for
snatching Arnav away from her.
And strengthening her resolution, she knocked on Arnav's
cabin.
...
"WHAT!!
WHAT NONSENSE IS THIS!!"
Pam knew that he wouldn't believe her just like
that.
So she had got proof.
She handed him AR's annual share holders' report. Arnav
flicked through his company's ownership documents. It was clearly put down that
Khushi Singh Raizada owned 40% of the shares, while Arnav Singh Raizada had
only 30% under his name. Akash Singh Raizada and Dhruv Singh Raizada owned 10%
each, while the remaining 10% were owned by the remaining board members.
"You see what she has done ASR. She has been
at this these three years. The three years that you don't remember and haven't
been told anything about. This is all her doing! First she broke up your and
Lavanya's relationship, and then manipulated you into marrying her. Then soon
after that she filed for divorce, and extracted these 40 % shares from as
alimony. Now she has married Dhruv Sir, and is going to repeat her game with
him. She is trying to steal the ownership of this company from you ASR.
God only knows whose child she's carrying, for all
we know, it may not be a Raizada at all'", her voice trailed away at
the murderous look that Arnav had just given her. She should probably just halt
there for the time being. She could continue to poison his mind against Khushi
later.
"Leave!", he whispered dangerously.
He looked at the wedding photographs that Pam had just
handed him. Photographs that held proof of his and Khushi's wedding.
You aren't aware about your
memory loss.
In fact, the entire family is
trying to cover it up.
God only knows what lies Khushi
must have woven to convince them into doing it.
I care about you ASR.
I couldn't keep the
truth from you, that's why I thought it best to tell you everything.
and then she had gently caressed his hand, and left
the cabin with a victorious smile.
...
As had already been said, Arnav Singh Raizada was
no simpleton.
It wasn't that easy to lie to him, and then get
away with it.
Long ago he had resolved to only believe in
himself, not what others told him.
The result had been an over cautious and
mistrusting man, who confirmed each and everything himself before believing it.
He read faces when they spoke to him, and analysed
the speaker's each pause and expression, facial as well as vocal.
It wasn't wise to lie to Arnav Singh Raizada.
Khushi had tried the night before, and he had had
his doubts.
And now Pam had made the same mistake, and Arnav
didn't completely believe her either.
He could see the vicious look on her face,
sense the deception in her voice, and note the desperation in her body language
to convince him.
And why would she come and tell him all this about
his and Khushi's marriage, when no one else had told him anything?!!
And then the way she had claimed to care for
him and caressed his hand...
Neither had he missed the victorious sneer that had
adorned her lips when she had walked away.
He was sure that there was some catch there.
He may have had an accident and lost 3 yrs of his
life.
But that didn't make him an idiot as people around
him seemed to think.
Everybody was lying to him.
His family, Khushi, Pam.
And all of his staff too, since no one had told him
anything about his memory loss.
They obviously had instructions.
Hence he could not go and demand the truth from
anybody.
He had to figure it all out himself...
