Arshi SS: Hamesha & Forever

Chapter 4

Shantivan, New Delhi

Hari Prakash opened the door and stood shocked.

"Payal bhabhi?" he asked and Payal smiled, "How are you Hari Prakash ji?"

"Fine bhabhi. Come in!" he moved aside.

Payal walked into the mansion she had walked out a month ago. Yes, it was a month since she had left Akash and Raizadas in the excuse of her mother's fake illness. They were getting divorce but Akash was waiting for the right time to tell their family. So according to other Raizadas, Payal was at Lucknow because her Amma is ill.

She walked to the living room to find the two ****es of the world sitting and chatting. Rolling her eyes she walked past them and climbed the stairs.

"Payal?" Sheetal called and she turned.

Anjali also looked at her.

"When did you come?" Anjali asked.

"Oh you did not know? I walked in right now and walked past you. Well how would you? You need to look up from your ****ty friend to see the things that's happening around you Mrs. Jha!" Payal sassed.

"You..." Anjali began when Payal said, "I did not walk into this garbage mansion to hear your stinky words. Where's dadi? She called me here!"

"She is upstairs in her room. And don't think you can go without apologizing to Anjali!" Sheetal said angrily.

"Barking dogs must be quietened not pampered!" Payal said and walked away ignoring Anjali's and Sheetal's shouts.

"What?" Akash asked shocked.

"We lost the tender" Shyam said calmly.

"AND WHY THE HELL ARE YOU SO CALM?" Akash shouted, "WE LOST THAT DAMN TENDER FOR WHICH WE HAD SPEND OUR FORTUNE! NOW WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO? We'll sink in debts!"

Shyam shrugged and Akash groaned, "Who am I asking to? The so called lawyer who doesn't know the alphabets of business!"

"Well I'm a lawyer who knows law. What kind of a businessman are you who don't know how to manage a company even after working under ASR for years? Even Arnav's assistant would manage a company better than you!" Shyam said angrily.

Akash sighed and looked down.

"Akash, we have to do something or else the whole company would crumple down!" Shyam said.

"Well why don't you go and ask that wife of yours for a suggestion? Oh no, she is busy shopping with her ****y friend!" Akash said.

"My so called wife happens to be your sister Akash. The same **** for whom you walked away from your brother two years back!" Shyam sassed.

"Well you aren't a saint either! You were her slave for the past 7 years! We all thought you were the villain but in real you're just a toy of Anjali Singh Raizada! You just did what she wanted you to!" Akash shouted.

"I got money for that Akash! Money is everything!" Shyam said shrugging his shoulders.

Akash kept mum and Shyam asked, "When is Arnav coming?"

"I don't know. He is here in Delhi. He must have reached by 6 today morning" Akash said.

It was then HP knocked the door.

"Come in" Shyam said and HP entered the study room.

"Payal bhabhi is here. She is in Nani's room!" HP said.

Hotel Plaza

3.45 pm

Arnav woke up rubbing his eyes and looked around. It was the hotel room they had checked in and the luggage was kept near the dressing table as it is – unpacked.

He looked to his left and found Khushi sleeping like a baby. She had her arm wrapped around his waist and head on his chest with a cute pout on her face. Apparently jet lag had taken a troll on her and was crying the whole morning about it. He had to tuck her in bed, give her some pills and caress her hair till she fell asleep. After a while, he had joined her as well.

Gently removing her arms from his body, he made her lie flat on the bed and covered her with a blanket. Stepping out of the bed, he walked to the phone they had in the room and ordered for a coffee and some snacks.

Hearing some noise he looked at the bed to find Khushi sitting up. She was yawning like a cute kitten and looked here and there.

"Coffee" he said handing her a cup.

She looked at him and smiled sleepily. "Thank you Arnav ji" she cooed and took the cup. He chuckled and patted her head.

"We have to go right?" he asked taking a seat on the couch. She took a sip and nodded.

"What is the time now?" she asked and he said, "4"

"Haww....did we sleep so long?" she asked with her eyes wide. He chuckled and nodded.

"Will Payal jiji come?" Khushi asked, "She is at Lucknow na?"

"I don't know. Something is wrong between her and Akash I think! According to Aman, she had been at Lucknow for over a month! She never does that!" Arnav said.

"Do you think....they have separated?" Khushi asked keeping the cup aside.

"May be. If it's so then I must say, she took a good move!" he said and she chuckled.

How many likes for Payal?
