FF - Plot twist

Chapter 15 - Plan

"How is Anjaliji?" Khushi asked NK.

Both were on their way to RM from GH.

"Unreadable. She said nothing to anyone and is being completely mechanical. But the good thing is, she believed us." NK said.

"And Arnavji?"

"He is....okay. Right now, Akash and Payal bhabi are busy sending off the elders to a Temple again. It's the easiest excuse we have everytime." He winked and they both smiled.

Entering RM, they were welcomed by Arnav, who was on a call. Sensing Khushi's presence, he turned to her and both shared a brief eye-lock, querying about how were they doing, comforting that everything was going to be okay and promising each other to be together in this hard time and conquer it.

Quickly hanging up the call, he reached them.

"Di wants to talk to all of us........about Shyam. She's in her room with Akash and Payal, and we were waiting for you both. Let's go?" Arnav said.

Trio entered the room. The dead silent ambience was chilly. Khushi locked the door and reluctantly sat next to Anjali because she had no idea if Anjali held her responsible for Shyam's betrayal or not. Whatever the matter was, their top priority was Anjali. Knowing how fragile she was they couldn't push her much.

The red puffy eyes told how much Anjali wept last night, but she looked strangely.....relieved! As if some sort of burden had been lifted off from her shoulders. This gave them courage to go on. The previous day none gave a thought to go through Shyam's BG record but this day Anjali insisted on reading it in her presence.

"Di, are you sure you want to do this? You alright?" concerned Arnav queried Anjali.

"Yes." she said, firmly.

Taking a deep breath, Arnav opened the envelop and went on reading it out loud.

Subject : Shyam Manohar Jha

DoB : 1-8-1985

Birth Place : Bhaisora, Uttar Pradesh

Occupation : Lawyer

Status : Married

Shyam Manohar Jha is a well known advocate in the city. Losing cases seldom happen. People are charmed by his manners, kindness and helpful nature. Always looks forward to help the poor. However, that's not real but a facade to fall into people's good books which is why no one has ever reported anything against him. All that he ever wants is money. His greed for money is unquenchable and will go to any extent for it. With the same intentions, he married Anjali Singh Raizada now Anjali Jha.

­Controlling the urge of tearing the report to bits, Arnav got up and paced along the room. Everyone were startled when he suddenly shouted.
