Khushi Aviraj Singh Rathore's POV

It's only been two days, but every time Aviraj becomes angry and hurt after reminding me of the past; it hurts to see him refuse to do it. We were sitting in the garden with a youngster when a man in his mid-20s approached. I just heard about Sudha Bua's sons, Harshit and Rakshit; they are not twins, but Rakshit is older and leaves with Ajitabh Sinha, whereas Harshit is younger and leaves with his Nani. He hugs everyone, moves towards me, and says,

"Aapse to hume kabse milna tha bhabhi sa." (I was waiting to meet you as a long-time sister-in-law.) He extends his hand for shaking, and his eyes roam creepily over my body, or so I imagine. I sighed, folded my hands in front, and said

"Namaste," he said, folding his hands and nodding his head. I was about to leave there and go inside the palace, but Ayaan said

"Bhabhi ma, where are you going? Come on, join us." I nodded and moved toward Ayaan. I was standing there while he sat alone, and he placed the cushion on the empty space and said,

"Bhabhi ma, go sit with Bhai." Otherwise, he will continue to scold me and become irritating." I approached Aviraj and sat on his left side. They all began talking about various topics, but my attention was drawn to only one person: Ajitabh Sinha. He has a strange personality, and everyone has their own take on him. As I was thinking about all of this, I mentioned that I was biting my nails, and an idea came to mind. I got up and went to Adriti's room, knocking for a while. Adriti opened the door. I looked at her and said,

"Get ready; we will leave the temple in an hour." I went into my room, opened my phone, and looked up Ajitabh Sinha's office number. After finding the number, I called it, and a girl answered the phone and said,

"A group of companies, how may I help you?"

"Can I talk to Ajitabh Sinha?" I said

"Sorry, mam, but sir is busy in the meeting; you can tell me your name and I will tell him." She said:

"Khushi Singh Rathore." I replied

"Bhabhi? Wait, wait, I will give the phone to Dad."Before I could say something, I heard the voice of someone running, and after a few minutes, I heard a deep and dominant voice saying

"Hello," I gulped and responded.

"Hello sir, I am Khushi."

"I know, why do you call me?" He cut me off and asked

"I... I just want to meet you and ask you something about Ma, Anasuya Rajvansh." For a while, I didn't hear anything. I assumed the call had ended, but no, he was on the other end, and then he said

"When?"

"Today," I answered.

"Ok, after two hours in the Golden Days Café?" When he asked, I smiled and replied,

"Sure, I will be there." Before I could hang up, he sighs and asks in a painful tone, as if it were hurting him to even ask.

"Sudha kese hai?" (How is Sudha?)

"She is good." He hummed and ended the call. I looked at my phone and said,

"I'm sorry, Aviraj, but I believe something is incorrect in the story you're telling. You said he killed them, so why does someone say he can't hurt her, and your father also wants him in the house? Why?" I sigh and get ready in my navy blue saree. When the gate opens, Aviraj looks at me and says,
