Part 22 - Revenge

Khushi: "I have a few more things to discuss, you see, taking your land was just the beginning. You've caused me and my husband immense suffering Sahil, and I plan to ensure you understand the consequences of your actions."

Sahil: "What more do you want Khushi?"

Khushi: "This is a written apology from both of you, Sahil and Preetika, detailing your crimes and acknowledging your wrongdoings. My team drafted it so that you don't have to go through the trouble. It is pretty much everything I mentioned in the FIR. Sign it, this apology will be published in the company newsletter and circulated amongst all your fellow colleagues."

Preetika: "Please Khushi, you can't be serious."

Khushi: "I'm very serious. You humiliated me, and now it's your turn to feel the same shame."

Mr. Sharma: "Beta, please, this is too much. We've already signed over our land."

Khushi (mockingly): "This is too much? Shit how will you bear whats coming then?" laughs

Sahil: "You are such a bitch, I was correct to assault you."

He lunged forward to choke Khushi, but Arnav swiftly stepped in front of her. Arnav grabbed Sahil by the neck and slammed him onto the table. With Sahil's head turned to the side and his body on his knees, he gasped for air as Arnav's grip tightened, squeezing his neck harder. "You mother fucking bastard, dare you lay a finger on my wife, I will skin you alive!"

Khushi: "See this is your child who still hasn't learnt his lesson. Not an ounce of shame for assaulting women. Leave him Arnav, I don't want him to die."

Arnav leaves him and goes back to sit on his chair.

Arnav: "You should be thankful to Khushi, Mr and Mrs Sharma. I never intended to take this to the police, I would have killed your son after torturing him in my ways. The marks you gave my wife, I would have tripled it on your body, you bloody ass hole. But my wife is too good of a soul, she wanted to follow due process and give you people a chance. But don't forget, your one move against Khushi now will cost you your life. It won't take me much to wipe out your pathetic existence from this world. I won't listen to Khushi this time"

Quietly, Sahil got up and signed the apology letter that Preetika had already signed. Preetika, was playing exactly as the lawyers had coached her. She understood Khushi's power and wanted to avoid any further mess. But Sahil had lost his mind ever since he saw Khushi walking into the room with confidence.

Khushi: "You are so pathetic Sahil, you dared to touch me again!"

Sahil: "Ohh shut up Khushi, you led me on, you gave me signals all the time and now you are complaining."

Khushi: "I gave you signals? please tell me what signals I gave you and when? Even if I gave you signals before, wasn't my marriage a clear sign that I don't want to be pursued, wasn't it?"

Sahil: "Oh come on, don't we know how you got married to him, you were sleeping with him. That's how you got everything, this position, this name, this fame"

Khushi: "Yes and your ego couldn't take it that I refused you for Arnav? But let me tell you the reality. I never led you, you know why, because I considered Preetika my friend. She liked you so I never saw you more than a friend. But I guess I was wrong, you were never my friend were you Preetika?"

Preetika: "Khushi, I agree we did wrong but you also cheated us. This... what you are doing to us is not fair."

Khushi: "LOL, you think my big concern is being fair to you" laughs "then you are sadly mistaken, the only reason I am not punishing you as severely is because you actually tried to stop Sahil when we wanted to rape me. At least you have that much dignity left. Anyway, coming to you the Sharma family, I have a surprise for you."
