Part 16 Change

Seeing Ratna's number flashing on his phone, Arnav gritted his teeth. Without any second thought, he attended the call.

Before Ratna said anything,

"Why did you call me now, to tell me that you have done a very good job?" He sneered.

Ratna was taken back. She couldn't understand anything as she didn't know Arnav recorded their conversation and heard it too. Who could even think Arnav can do it?

"Why are you pouncing on me? What do I do?" she asked with confusion.

"Didn't you tell Khushi to marry someone leaving me behind?" he yelled.

Ratna was shocked to the core. How did Arnav get to know about it? Did Khushi tell him? But why? Is she having a plan to do something with Arnav using their conversation? No way... Khushi would not have done that without telling her about it. She would not have said Arnav anything about their conversation because she knew it will create a difference between her and Arnav. So, Khushi would not have done that. Ratna concluded. She decided to ask her son about it.

"Why are you silent now? Will you talk only with your daughter-in-law to make her upset?"

Is not it news? Khushi was upset and Arnav was worrying about it.

"Wait... how do you know what we talked about?" Ratna questioned.

Now, Arnav got struck. In frustration, he dint think Ratna will raise this question.

"Why are you (she stressed) silent now?" She asked.

Arnav knew he could not lie to Ratna because she will ask Khushi about it for sure. What will Khushi think if she gets to know that he recorded their conversation?

"My phone was in the auto recording. Your conversation got recorded..." he tried to handle his mother with a lie.

Ratna was surprised. Was the phone on auto-recording...? Or, Arnav change it into auto-recording?

"Oh... so you heard our conversation..."

"Haan, I heard... and you don't have to recite to your daughter-in-law that I heard your conversation..."

Ratna rolled her eyes. This is what Arnav. Neither he won't accept he needs her nor will let her go. Ratna made up herself.

"Yes, I said... you are the one who wants me to ask her to leave Mumbai..." she asked.

"I want you to ask her to leave Mumbai... but I didn't ask you to advise her to marry someone" he sneered.

"What do you think? Her parents will surely get her married to someone if she leaves Mumbai..."

"It doesn't mean you should insist on her right away"

"Ok, as you heard our conversation, come straight to the point. I won't ask her anything right away... I mean for the next three months..." she said as if she was doing a favor for him.

Cutting her,

"You no need to ask her to marry someone..."

"Why? Why should not I ask her? It was me who asked her to marry you. So, I have all the right to ask her anything" She said with attitude.

"Mom, just let her do what she wants. Stop giving her stupid ideas..."

Ratna very well understood that he asks her to stay away from their matter... indirectly.

"Ok, I won't give her an idea for the next three months..."

Arnav rolled his eyes.

"You don't like her... you don't want her to be with you... Then why are you bothering about her decision of marrying someone? You should be happy because she will never interfere with your life if she marries someone..."
