RM, New Delhi, India

Arnav Singh Raizada sat in the study room reading the file named 'Shyam Manohar Jha' which Aman had bought from the Private investigator. With each passing second the urge to kill his so-called Jija Ji with his bare hands and self-pity for not being able to protect his Di increased. He couldn't believe that apart from Di he had trapped a countless number of girls. But yeah fortunately or unfortunately only Anjali was his legal wife. And he knows why ... of course, she was the Anjali Singh Raizada ... the only girl child of Raizadas.

Arnav: Money ... it was money all along ... (Clenching his teeth) ... Shyam Manohar Jha ... I won't leave you that easily ...

But he knows it is not that easy all thanks to his Di's blind trust in that person. He also knows that he will have to break it first without actually hurting his Di if he has to throw that person from his Di's life but what he doesn't know is how to do it. He really wished somebody was there to help him and closed his eyes in exasperation. And the only face that came to his mind was of 'her'. He took out his phone and dialed the number on his speed dial and was greeted with her sleepy 'hello'.

Arnav: Tum abhi tak so rahi ho Khush? ... (You are still sleeping Khush?)

Khushi: Abhi tak matlab? (Still means) ... it is two in the night you duffer ... and people usually ... no forget it ... and tell me why did you call now ... don't you have office today?

Arnav: It is Sunday today ... and wait ... what the ... you called me 'duffer' ...

Khushi: I guess I did ... (Sitting on the bed and in a stern voice) ... now don't waste time and tell me what do you want?

Arnav: (Sighing) ... naraz ho mujhse? (Are you angry with me?)

Khushi: (Sarcastically) ... no ... why would I? ... I have no reason to get angry... after all, you hadn't called me for forty-eight hours ... no, just two days ... it's nothing, right? And what is the reason again? ... another important deal?

Arnav: (Guiltily) ... baby ... I am sorry ... I was so messed up that I

Khushi: What happened Arnav? ... all fine?

Arnav: (In a low voice) ... no baby ...

Khushi: What do you mean by no? ... (In a concerned voice) ... Arnav ... what is it?

Arnav: (Sighing) ... Khushi ... Shyam ... he is not a person as we think he is ...

Khushi: Shyam ... as in Di's husband Shyam?

Arnav: Yes ...

Khushi: What ... what made you think so?

Arnav: Well, there were some anomalies in the bills ... but I shrugged it off thinking I was being too much (Sighing) ... but then three days back Hiten, the accountant pointed out the same and showed me the sources ... still I thought he is in some kind of financial trouble and wanted to help ... In fact I was thinking how to approach him without making him feel awkward ... but then yesterday Aman told me he saw Shyam with a girl in a compromising position

Khushi: Aman? ... Arnav ... is he is still in love with Di? ... and was he telling the truth ... (Sighing) ... I mean I know Aman is not like that but still ... is it his love that made him give you a bad impression on Shyam?

Arnav: I think he still loves her ... but no ... it was not his love which made him do so ... and if that was the case he could have done that earlier ... (Sighing) ... in fact, he had the photos of the two of them ... so I hired a private investigator ... and I got the report today ... I just finished reading it and ... felt like talking to you
