"DI."
Anjali raised her head to see Arnav standing there facing her.
She was over joyed that Arnav called her di after so many months but it was short lived."Chote...... You called me DI...... You don't know how happy you've made me.... Even though I don't deserve it. " Anjali said in between sobs and tears.
Arnav looked at her shock and started wondering if she is indeed insane.
"Anjali....... Just snap out of it..... When did I call you di?...... I called you Anjali not di.... And secondly you are right, you don't deserve to be addressed that way by me. "
Anjali looked at him in shock and from his poker face expression, she realised she was hallucinating.
How she wish what she heard was true but the bitter truth was Arnav never called her di but was rather here for something else. She knew he was here to make her retract her confession just like Mr Roy had advised her a few hours ago.
"How are you? " Arnav asked with a poker face.
"Am feeling great....... In fact I have never felt this liberated in my life. " Anjali genuinely replied making Arnav shocked.
"You have indeed gone mad...... You are hearing things which have not been said...... How can you say something like that..... You are being charged with murder dammit..... And here you are happy. " Arnav said yelled at her making her chuckle in the process pissing Arnav off even more.
"Yes..... I am happy..... Happy that I finally got the justice she and I deserve...... Justice for all the innocent lives he destroyed..... Justice for all the innocent lives I also destroyed and most importantly freedom from him.... And that Arnav is something I will never regret....... I know why you are here.... You are here to make me retract my confession but if that's the reason why you came here then you came in vain. " Anjali said in a deadly calm voice sending shiver down the spine of Arnav.
"You are very selfish woman..... Everything has to be about you.... Did you stop to think how this will impact our lives..... My life, Khushi and the kids and everyone and especially Rishi who loves you with all his heart (Anjali looked at Arnav in shock) ..... The answer is a big NO....... And don't be surprised. I know he has feelings for you from the time he started working for us five years ago... And it was finally confirmed when today he was willing to admit to killing that bastard just to save you..... I hope you are happy now..... And don't worry...... Before your so called Nani starts her usual blackmail.... I have already secured a legal team to help you.... " Arnav said and left there living Anjali to wallow in her guilt. Not guilt for killing Shyam because she will never regret killing him but guilt for dragging innocent loved ones into this but she consoled herself knowing this is not the time to break.
Flashback begins.
Beware.
Graphic Details Ahead.Anjali drove away with a scared Shyam who was trying everything to escape as he knew Anjali was about to do something terrible to him.
After an hour of driving, she stopped closer to another car, got out and opened the back seat door and pulled a screaming Shyam out of the car with all her might into the other car and drive away.
After a few hours they got to a safe house in the thick forest and she made him limp into the house with a gun pointed at his back and Shyam knew if he disobeyed her she was capable of killing him so he obediently went into the house and was ordered to enter the basement.
