Us again

42-The Punishment starts

The funeral was done. As Khushi watched Abeer lighting up the pyre,she ran to Abeer,trying to stop him. She just wished all this was a nightmare and she would wake up,finding her happy Dadu. But it was not. Arnav hugged her,slapped her hard to wake her up from that state. And Khushi fainted there,due to fatigue and shock..

Arnav carried Khushi home and laid her on the sofa. She had not bathed after funeral,so no one was allowed in rooms. Her mother and Manorama sat beside her, worried.

After an hour finally she woke up. Just mutely she walked to the bathroom,poured water on herself and walked inside her room. Someone had to freshen up first,before giving things like turmeric water to the rest when they returned from the funeral ground. As Arnav had said,Khushi's mother told her to do that,in order to make her active. Sometimes when we loose someone dear,all we can do is divert ourselves in work,to stay sane. It hurts..

And Khushi had fear of loosing people. So Khushi waited outside as Arnav, Arnav's dad,uncle arrived first to freshen up. Then Arnav and Aman left to bring some food. Khushi blankly stood there. Arnav sighed. He knew Khushi was hurting,yet he could do nothing..

Somehow that day passed. Khushi slept with her grandma that night. Arnav and Raizadas left home too..

The next day Khushi was sitting alone on the roof. Arnav and Abeer reached there. They were so silent that Khushi though lost noticed them..

"Abeer,It was Anjali Mallik who did it. She was the one who shoot Dadu"Arnav said..

Abeer clenched his hands tight to control his anger. On the other side Khushi was shocked. She thought after Kalavati,Anjali and rest would not have courage to do something illegal like this. Yet she was wrong. Dogs tail never become straight..

"Arnav,Malliks chapter should end this time. For once and all. I donot care,if we have to take the same path. But these snakes,they need to suffer"Abeer said gritting his teeth..

Arnav too was aware of that. The only reason Raizadas were not targetted was because Malliks thought to use them. And they had tried killing Arnav and Aman before too. Khushi was a hurdle in their eyes. And they wanted to break Khushi little by little ..

No matter how small a snake is,a poisonous snake is poisonous snake. And never underestimate small things. Sometimes small wounds leads to cancer too..

Khushi was thinking the same too. Sometimes our carelessness can lead to disaster that is hard to handle. So they needed to take steps. If step is not taken,then the courage of enemy would grow. It's like giving blade in the hands of child and telling him,it's okay,after he cuts you. If you donot stop him,he would think it would be okay to cut throat too..

"I have asked Aman to give a big order to Mallik syndicate through someone. As soon as they accept,exited Anjali and Payal would definitely take matters in their own hands. After all they have tasted blood. So they would wish to feel the thrill again. And it's a big political name. With his family. And once they walk out of their hiding,they would straight walk into the trap. As for Amar Mallik and Ratna,and Garima,the trio are in Dubai,enjoying a weird threesome time. And they would never be able to return to India once Payal and Anjali Mallik are gone. Rest,would become headless chickens and police and Government would feast on them."explained Arnav..

Abeer was surprised. He too wanted to finish Malliks. But he wished to discuss it with Khushi as Khushi had worked on Kalavati's case. And he too wanted to draw the snakes out of the hole..

"Donot tell me,sending them to Dubai was your plan Arnav."Abeer marvelled..

Arnav nodded. He was already on move. But who would have thought them to target Raichands.. Arnav had thought they would continue to target him only. But they had grasped his vulnerable point well. Hurting Khushi was hurting Arnav. And they had succeeded in waking up the sleeping lion. Now he was going to haunt them down,tear them to pieces and feast on them..

Khushi listened to their conversation silently. She took her phone,messaged someone to tighten the security to double around Raichands and Raizadas,and help Arnav in his plan..

If Arnav wanted to play,then play should go on. And Khushi wanted to feel the love,the protection of her lover. So she would stand back,watch him play...

Anjali and Payal were chilling,planning the next prey to kill from Raichands. There was a big board with Raichands and Raizadas photos on it. Arnav and Khushi's photos were in the centre with big X in red on them. And Karanveer Raichand had the same. Aman was there too in the pic. Anjali picked up the marker and marked Abeer red.

"You know that man is so handsome. We should kidnap him and have taste of him before killing him.. How about letting him become a toy of us for two days Anju?"Payal said in her sickening tone..

Anjali looked at the cross and nodded,licking her lips. She too wished that ..

Both sisters laughed like crazy not knowing someone was hearing their conversation through the small devices stiched to their shoes..

And it was being recorded and was sent to two places. One to his boss,other to ASR..
