Part 10 Cat is out...

When Ratna came to their room, Arvind was checking a file. Ratna smiled at him casually whereas Arvind smiled at her nervously.

"Don't know why Khushi is doing this" She sighed.

"Whaat... what did she do?"

"She mopped the floor and fell down stepping on the soap water. Her leg swelled... don't know what's in her mind" Ratna sighed again.

Arvind looked down at the file again.

"Why don't you say anything?" she asked.

"What do you want me to say?"

"Do you know how angry Chotte is?"

Arvind gulped down.

"He is going to ripe us for sure"

"She mopped the floor... what's wrong with that?"

Ratna folded her hands and raised her brows.

"She is our guest... remember? Her father saved our Chotte's life... remember? This is how we treat our guests? Our response towards Khushi shows how much we are grateful to her..."

Arvind was silent.

"I have been decided not to go anywhere until Khushi is fine to come with me"

"What does that mean, Ratna?" he asked sensing something wrong. Did Ratna find the truth of his offering her a job?

"She thinks a lot if she is alone at home it seems," she said managing.

Arvind was nervous. He knew what will happen if Arnav gets to know he offered her a job. He should not have done that but Simran wanted it to happen. What can he do when his friend wished so?

Ratna was about to leave the room,

"Ratna..." Arvind stopped her.

"Tell me,"

"What will you do if you have only one option to choose one's side between mine and Chotte's? Whom will you support?"

Ratna smiled inwardly. The cat was coming out of the box slowly it seemed.

"Undoubtedly, Chotte..." she said shrugging her shoulders off.

"Why? How could you say so blindly? Before taking anyone's side, you should listen to the full story, then only you can stand for the right side... right?"

"That's what I will do... that's why I will support Chotte"

"What does that mean, Ratna? Won't I be right?"

"Maybe, but definitely not than Chotte. If you are right, Chotte won't stand on the opposite side. He was, is, will always be right" she said confidently which shook Arvind.

"Chotte is not talking to you. Yet, you are taking his side?"

"Yes, he is not talking to me. It doesn't mean he is wrong. I was wrong, that's why he is not talking to me. He loved me, trusted me, but I failed him... that's why I'm getting punished" she left the place choking.

Arvind stood speechless.

Ratna came to Anjali's room. She saw Khushi silently sitting. Ratna didn't talk to her. She wanted to see Khushi's reaction on Simran's manipulation. She wanted to see how much Khushi will respond to it. So, she just observed Khushi.

"Anju, what Chotte said?"

"He asked me to look after Khushi, Mom"

Ratna gestured to Anjali to look at Khushi.
