A short update I apologize... but the next one will be long and will compensate for this one...





Continued from the last part (Same place, Same time):





Lavanya cleared her throat at being caught unawares.


"What...", She looked around for support, "What are you saying Jeejaji?"


Shyam smiled, "I know exactly what I am talking about"


"How can you even think of..."


"Enough Lavanya", ASR roared, "Just answer the damn question"


"ASR", she ran towards Arnav, holding his right hand in between both her palms, she tried placating him with a smile "he is just turning this on me. You never liked him much, so, he is making me the scapegoat..."

She continued without noticing Arnav's irritation, "Actually I saw him go into your study multiple times, he is the one trying to steal your docum..."


"Stop it", Arnav said calmer than before but there was a dangerous edge to his voice, "You know what? You are smart Lavanya, I am surprised that you noticed my displeasure towards my Jeejaji because I never voiced it out to you"


Turning towards Shyam, Arnav said, "I am sorry Jeejaji, I really am", he continued, "Two weeks back, when I had gone to Delhi to crack the deal with Seth, Aman told me that he had seen you in Surat. I really suspected you"


Arnav was genuiunely apologetic, "I did not know you were looking out for me, So, when I flew right away to Surat for the first time to confront you, I was really shocked with the findings, but I meant it when I said, I really found a true ally in you, a real friend in you"


Shyam acknowledged with a smile.


"Di, my most recent trip to Delhi last week was orchesterated by Akash as Jeejaji mentioned already", he turned towards Di, "When all of you thought I went to get a deal done, I had a confidential meeting with Akash, Aman, Vishal and Praveen. We put everything together, we conferenced with Jejejaji in Surat, and then I flew down to Surat, for a second time, from Delhi for some addiditional information. We have everything we need including a bunch of evidence"


"Now Lavanya", he said looking at her intensely, "Spill the beans"


"I hate you ASR", she spit out, realizing her game was up


"Why did you marry Chote then?" Nani asked, furious

"I was forced into this marriage by my mom"


"Nonsense!" Anjali intercepted, "You were happy throughout the wedding. You even complained to me, a couple of days ago, that Chote was not paying you enough attention"


"Cut the crap Lavanya", Arnav said with a tight smile, "out with the truth!"


Lavanya stayed silent.


"But I have to admire your loyalty...", Shyam smirked at Lavanya, "...to your partner in crime"


"Exactly", Arnav leered at her, "He will be here any moment, he has no freaking clue what is going to hit him"




Akash walked in, surprising everyone, with Arjun.
