Her Hidden Love

Forty

/* Days pass by in this manner. Arjun finishes his project. Sushmitha has gained conscious but is not able to move or talk. She just blinks her eyes in response to anyone. When Aravind tried to ask what actually happened to her, she got tears in her eyes and doctors advise not to bring up that matter again. Arjun returns to the palace. Devraaj comes to meet him. Arjun brings back Panchi. They sit in the lawn remembering the good times they had spent. */

Panchi- Dad I missed you.

Arjun- We all missed you equally.

Panchi- Where is mom?

Arjun- She is in Poonam grandma's home. She will come back soon.

Devraaj- Arjun don't give her false hope. You too come out of it.

Arjun- but dad mom is recovering right?

Devraaj- still I don't change my mind. I don't want anymore disturbance in the house because of her.

Arjun- Dad Arohi is not the reason for mom's condition. 

Panchi- Dad

Arjun- Yes princess.

Panchi- What happened to grandma?

Arjun- She is not well. She is in the hospital. 

Panchi- Why is Arohi mom not at home? Why did she go? (Arjun was at loss of words. He couldn't reply. Panchi turned to Devraaj)

Devraaj- The day before you went to Kria's house,  Arohi and your grandma had a fight that's why Arohi left the house.

Panchi- No grandpa. Mom didn't fight with grandma. She cooked our favorite dinner and we watched a movie too.

Arjun- Oh no why didn't I think of asking Panchi before? Panchi tell me what happened after the movie.

Panchi- I slept in grandma's room. After some time, grandma got a call. She came out of the room and met Anjali auntie in that room. Grandma told me to sleep with mom, so I went to her.

/* Devraaj and Arjun couldn't believe what they heard. Anjali was out of jail? How could that happen? There was a lot of time for her release as per the record. The room which Panchi pointed to happened to be Devraaj's office room. It had a cctv camera and when they saw the recorded footage, they found Sushmitha talking to Anjali. Sushmitha had become unconscious there itself and Anjali had dragged her into the bedroom. After seeing that Arjun sent his men to search for Anjali and they brought her to the palace within an hour. Arjun was never this angry. Devraaj was more guilty than angry, he repented all that he said to Arohi. */

Arjun- What did you do to my mom?

Anjali- I told her you sold off the property and the palace. Also that Aravind died in a car accident.

Arjun(slaps her hard)- I always respected women a lot but you deserve this. Why??

Anjali- She liked Arohi a lot and never treated me as a daughter in law.

Arjun- You aren't her daughter in law.

Anjali- That's why. If your mom got a heart attack and died, and the blame be put on Arohi then you'd definitely get divorced. I thought we could get married.

Arjun- You are not only evil but stupid too. That won't even happen in a dream. How did you come out of jail?

Anjali- Varun got me a bail.

Arjun- Varun?? I'll talk to him. You better go back to the place where you belong, the jail, forever.

/* He hands over Anjali to the police and she gets a life time imprisonment. Arjun calls Varun and he immediately comes to the palace. When he learns about what Anjali had done, he feels very guilty about being the root cause for all the problem. */
