37 Payback

Part 37 payback

The next morning

Sheetal opened her eyes and found herself in the lockup. At first, she thought she was dreaming. She touched her left cheek as it was aching. It swelled a little. She couldn't understand anything. She recalled the previous day's happenstance. She got horrified.

"What happened to Khushi? Did she do what she wanted? Or... Something else had happened at the party? Arnav was also there at the party... Why can't I remember anything that happened at the party? Did Arnav find my plan? Did he hand me into the police? Am I truly in lock up?" She murmured, getting horrified.

She came to the iron door of the lock-up and to touched it slowly. She could touch it. She took back steps fearfully. She didn't know what happened. A lady constable came to her.

"Hey... Whaaaaat are you looking for?" She questioned.

"How... How did I come here?" Sheetal questioned her back.

"Don't you know why you are in the lockup?" the Lady constable asked negligently.

"I surely don't know madam..." Sheetal said.

"You will get to know that soon" she walked away.

"Madam, tell me why did you bring me here... What's the case?" Sheetal insisted her to say.

As she didn't get an answer, Sheetal shouted.

"You ought to tell me the reason... You can't keep me in the lockup without reason... Tell me why did you arrest me? What case? What section?" She spoke rules.

"Oh... Do you want to know the reason? You are arrested under IP section 274 for using medical preparation on Ms. Khushi... illegally. Understand?" The Constable said.

"No... I didn't do it... do you have evidence? You can't arrest me without evidence..." She said nervously.

"The needed evidence will be submitted in the court today." The Constable said.

"What evidence do you have? If you are partial with me on someone's order, I won't leave you. I will go to the human rights commission..." She again shouted.

The inspector threw the lathi towards the cell wrathfully. It hit the cell door and Sheetal was taken back.

"You, bloody B****. How dare you question us after doing a crime...?" The inspector was furious.

"I didn't do any crime..." Sheetal said without thinking.

"See, what will we do after the judgment of the case received... You will get to know the power of police..." the inspector said wrathfully.

Sheetal gulped down hard. Don't know what evidences they have against her. Of course, Sheetal would not have known about the evidence because she was not in her consciousness when she blurts out everything. Would she tell them if she was in her sense?

Suddenly, the police station headed up. As Sheetal didn't expect, Arnav entered the police station. Sheetal felt insulted, seeing him as she was in the lock-up.

Arnav came in front of Sheetal and remove the goggle, stylishly with a smirk on his face. Sheetal turned her face not to look at him.

"Hope you are fine," Arnav said.

Sheetal stood not looking at him.

"Let me know if you want any facilities in the jail... I will surely arrange it for you... After all, you are my sister's sister-in-law..." His tone was delivered like mockery.

"Don't fly high ASR..."

"I will... I undoubtedly will... I was so confused about how to evacuate you from my life... But, you took the responsibility into your hands on the behalf of us and walked out from our lives..." He smirked.

"Do you think you can do that? My brother will stand up for me, no matter what..." She said with overconfidence.

"Oh...really...? What is that on your cheek? It seems someone slapped you hard... Oh... How do you know who slapped you... You were not in the sense when your brother slapped you..." He said teasingly.

Sheetal looked at him with shock.

"Your brother... I mean my sister's husband slapped you... at the party... When you were being surrounded by people... He was the one who handed you to the police..."

"No... I won't believe it. You are lying..."

Arnav nodded his head, raising his brows. He removed his mobile and played the video that was recorded at the party the last evening.

Sheetal's facial expression changed second to second, seeing the atrocities she had done. That was the hights of humiliation to stand in front of people without having a saree pallu on her shoulder... It was hights of embarrassment to have the same pallu again on the shoulder through the same girl who she wanted to humiliate. Her eyes tear up not because she was sad...but with anger. She was angry with Khushi for saving her respect... She was angry with Shyam for hitting her in front of people. And she was angry with Arnav who is the reason for everything.

"So what if I had drugs? How will you prove I tried to make Khushi consume it? I will tell in the court that I had it by mistake... what will you do then?" She asked without fear.

"Yeah... you are right... How did I miss thinking about it?" Arnav asked regretfully.

Sheetal spilled a winning smirk. Her facial expression changed when Arnav smiled.

"What's her name????" Arnav thought flicking his fingers.

Sheetal shrank her face with confusion. About whom he was asking?

"Yeah... I remembered..."

Sheetal looked at him to know that whom he was talking about. Sheetal's face drained when Arnav uttered the name of the woman.

"Riya..." Arnav spilled a teasing smirk.

Sheetal swallowed the thing that blocked her throat.

"Your chemist friend... She was the one who give the chemical to you, right? She is ready to become an approver you know?"

Sheetal shivered inwardly. She knows what will be the consequences of Riya's statement. No one could save her if it happens. She would be spending the rest of her life in prison.

"ASR..."

"Yes...?"

"I didn't do it intentionally..."

"Ohhh..."

"It happened mistakenly..."

Arnav nodded, making a sad face.

"Whatever it is, tell them in the court when you get a chance to speak"

"ASR..."

"Shhhhh... Not one more word... How dare you try to insult Khushi...? This is what you wanted to do to her?" He asked pointing at his Mobile...

"How does it feel, seeing yourself in Khushi's place? Is not it interesting? What do you think of me? Did you think you can do anything to ASR's fiancee? Go to hell with your thoughts..." he said gritting his teeth and started walking.

Sheetal understood that she was at the edge of her life. She had broken her head by banging on a strong rock called Arnav Singh Raizada.

AR

Khushi saw Arnav getting inside the office. Arnav went to his cabin. He called Khushi and asked her to come to his cabin. Khushi came to his cabin without delay.

"Arnavji, Akashji brought me to the office," she said

"Yeah, I asked him to..."

"Oh..."

"I went to complete an important work"

"Oh..."

"We will go to Nainital tomorrow," Arnav said

"Nainital? But why?"

"What Khushi... I thought you will become happy hearing that... "

"I'm... I just ask the reason "

"Regarding the case... As I'm back, as I'm alive, we should withdraw the case and should ask to close the case"

"Oh..."

"I thought you too would like to join me. Don't you want to come?"

"I will... If you have no problems..."

"Why would I have a problem? I will happily take you with me..."

"Then I will come"

"That's great..."

"Arnavji... I don't see Nanne in RM. Where is he?"

"I sent him to meet my friend"

"Oh..."

"He will come after meeting him"

"Ok..."

Arnav removed his phone and dialed Anjali.

"Haan Chotte...?"

"Di, I and Khushi are going to Nainital tomorrow regarding the case," he said as if he was talking about it to Anjali for the first time.

"Chotte, we already have spoken about it..."

"What...? you too are coming with us???"

"Yes, Chotte..." Anjali frowned

"Di, I will be careful this time. You do not need to worry..."

"Yes, I know that... Yet, I will say you should be careful"

"Ok, di, I have no problem if you come with us..."

"But, I didn't get why are you talking about it again"

"Yes, di, Khushi is with me, hearing our talks..."

Anjali was stuck. Somehow she understood why Arnav talks like that.

"Oh... Are you going to surprise khushi?"

"Thank God, finally..."

"Oh... That's the matter... Ok, we will maintain the surprise"

"Done..." Arnav disconnected the call.

"Di wants to come with us. She is not ready to let me go alone..."

"She is not wrong though..."

Arnav nodded yes.

"Arnavji, will Anjaliji come to our home?"

"Do you want to take her to your home?" Arnav asked as if he has no idea of taking them to Khushi's house.

"We are going to Nainital... How could we not take her to our home? What will she do when I visit my home? Where will she be waiting?"

"Yeah...you are right. We will take her to your home... Ok?"

Khushi nodded ok happily. Arnav smirked. He wanted to see Khushi's face when she gets to know the purpose of their Nainital visit.
