Shantivan..
"Akash.." Arnav called him out as soon as he saw Akash going towards his car.
Akash looked at him and approached them. He saw even Lavanya and her daughter were present there.
"Haan Bhai.."
"Take their bags to their room" Arnav ordered.
"But there's HP, OP and many servants to do that.." Akash replied with a slight frown on his forehead.
One look from Arnav and Akask gulped realizing the mistake he had done. He picked Lavanya and Sona's bags then glanced at Khushi with embarrassment and took the bags inside Shantivan feeling humiliated to be doing a servant's work.
Khushi went back to her past when she saw Akash taking the bags inside home.
Flashback..
AR..
"Listen I've been waiting here for past three hours.. Please let me talk to Akash ji.. He's my brother in law.. please tell him that Khushi is here.. she needs to talk to him urgently.." Khushi pleaded the receptionist.
"Brother in law?" Khushi heard Akash's voice from behind. She turned to him and sighed in relief.
"Khushi have you forgot that you and Bhai are no longer married? And in that case I'm not your brother in law as well.." Akash said mockingly.
"Woh.. I just blurted out.." Khushi explained.
"That's okay.. What are you here for then?" Akash rested his hand inside his pocket.
Khushi looked around awkwardly as the employees were present there and curiously hearing their conversation.
"Can we talk in private Akash ji?" Khushi asked in low tone.
"I'm really very busy Khushi.. just spit it out what you want or leave from here.. don't waste my time.. Bhai isn't here to handle the business.. I've many responsibilities on my shoulder.. So please.. just go the straight to the point.." Akash said in no-nonsense tone.
"Actually.. I need money.." Khushi bit her lips embarrassed to be asking for money to him in front of AR employees.
"Money? For what?" Akash frowned.
"I need to buy meds.. doctor prescribed for me.. I don't have enough money to buy them.." Khushi explained fidgeting her duppata.
"So AR is your bank account now!" Akash said sarcastically.
Khushi looked down with moist eyes.
Akash turned to the crowd, "Listen everyone.. My brother aka ASR abandoned this woman on their marriage day.. the first marriage was just a contract and it's over.. the second marriage didn't happen.. so she's not Mrs. Raizada anymore, right? But guess what.. she's still living in our home despite the fact that bhai isn't even there.. and now she wants money too.. without being married to my brother, she still wants to get the benefits of being Mrs. Raizada!"
Khushi shut her eyes tightly biting her lips to control her sobs.
"How shameless woman you're Khushi.. earlier you used to fight with Bhai so much for your self-respect and status.. and look at you now.. waiting three hours to get money from someone who isn't your brother in law either now.." Akash said staring at her disgustingly.
"Akash ji how can you say something like this? I'll return the money as soom as I can.." Khushi said embarrassed.
Employees started gossiping and talking bad about Khushi's character.
