Nandhini was shocked to the core, having received a slap from an unexpected person: her father. He never raised his hand at Nandini for any reason.
"What the bell is this?" Rishab showed her the same video that Arnav and Aman received from an unknown number. He felt humiliated. He could not tolerate the truth that his daughter was a lesbian.
Nandini and Natasha were more shocked. They didn't expect Rishabh to receive the same video. Rishabh was the only person whom they could not avoid answering. He could even slap her. That was what he did.
As Rishab got to know her, Nandini became ready to face the relationship with Natasha. Taking a deep breath, she said,
"This is the life I love to live..."
Cutting her off,
"Damn your life... if you want such a life, why the hell did you spoil Arnav's life? Why didn't you tell me the truth and stop the wedding? Why should he struggle with you? Why did you put his life in hellfire?"
"Because I don't want people to know who I am. I don't think it's necessary to share my personal life with the world. Because I hate criticism. I can't let people mock me. My reputation is important to me..."
"Reputation my foot... You have no right to talk about reputation because cowards like you have no right to talk about reputation. Being lesbian is not your fault. It's an error of nature. I am not stupid enough not to understand it. You should not have hidden it. I would have appreciated it if you had dared to face the reality. Now, I feel ashamed to be your father, not because you are a lesbian. It's because you are heartless to ruin another person's life to flaunt yourself. You don't deserve Arnav like a gentleman. He deserves a good wife and life..." he walked out.
He saw Durga dusting a flower vase. She was just four metres away from him.
"Hey, you..." he called her but she didn't respond.
He clapped to get her attention but she didn't look at him. Taking two long steps, he flicked his fingers. Durga looked at him.
"Won't you respond to me? Did your boss order not to obey anyone other than her?" He asked furiously.
Durga was perplexed because she understood what he said through his lip movement.
"Ba... Ba..." she said that she was deaf and dumb through sign language.
Rishab was dumbfounded.
"Go and bring Arnav and Khushi..." he said.
Durga nodded ok and went to Arnav's room to bring them.
Nandini rushed to Rishabh.
"Why are you calling him now? What are you going to do?" She asked restlessly.
"I am going to free him. He doesn't need to be under your control anymore. He has life. I don't want to be a sinner. Enough of everything."
"You have no right to do that." she sneered.
"Only I have the right to do that because it was I who tied him with you."
"Dad, I'm warning you. I won't mind that you're my Dad. Don't test my patience. Stop nonsense..."
"Nonsense? You are telling that...? Don't have shame to talk like that?"
"This is my life. I will live as per my wish. You don't have to interfere in it."
"I don't care how you live, but you have no right to control Arnav because he, too, has a life."
Nandini was supposed to say something, but stopped seeing Arnav staring at her. He was confused as he didn't understand what was cooking between the father and the daughter. Nandini was nervous. He looked at Rishabh who was full set to end the issue. He didn't seem to consider Nandini's stand. So she made up her mind to handle the situation.
Rishabh held Arnav's hand. Arnav looked at him frowning.
"I'm sorry, Arnav. I spoiled your life by getting you married to her." He looked at Nandhini.
"What made you feel sorry all of a sudden, uncle?' Arnav made sure his voice did not sound mocking as he found Rishab emotional.
Rishab hesitated to tell him the truth. Seeing his hesitation, Arnav became alert. Did he learnt the truth about Nandini? Was the video also sent to him? Arnav wanted to use the chance to his advantage.
"I, too, want to tell you something, uncle. We were so confused not to understand why Nandini didn't want to get into the wedding relationship."
Rishab and Nandhini both looked at him nervously.
"It's because she is already in a relationship with her close friend Natasha." Arnav didn't hesitate to bring the truth into the open.
Seeing Rishab silent, Arnav understood that he too had learned about Nandhini's relationship with Natasha.
"So, you too received the video..."
The words 'YOU TOO' said, Arnav also received the video. That shocked them. Nandhini understood everything slipped from her hand.
"You too received the video?" Rishab asked him.
"Yes, I received the video from an unknown number."
Arnav opened it and showed it to Rishab. Nandini and Natasha were annoyed seeing that. Nandini made up her mind.
"So what? Your father is under my control don't forget that." She intimidated Arnav.
Rishab took a step and raised his hand to slap her again. This time, she held his hand and defended herself from getting slapped.
"Who's there?" she called her securities. They rushed to her.
"Take this man away from here..." she ordered.
Her men held Rishab. Nandini looked at Arnav.
"Don't think you can get out of my clutch. Until your father is under my control, you should also have to be..."
"To get me under your control only did you change my father's place?" He asked furiously and confusion on Nandhini's face.
"Whaaaat? I changed your father's place? Who said?"
"My friend... he went to invite my father to his wedding but he is not at home..."
"He would have gone somewhere else for some purpose..."
"Then where are your men? Where did all of them go? There was no one in RM and it was locked."
"What do you mean?" She removed her phone hurriedly and dialled her man. But the phone was switched off.
Nervousness spread all over Nandhini's face. That made Arnav also nervous. Nandini wasn't a woman who would pretend for such a matter. She had the guts to do anything she wanted. Yet he asked,
"Why are you pretending like you know nothing? Where is my father? Why did you shift him somewhere else? He never created a scene over this issue. Then why are you torturing him?"
"Listen, I have no need to shift your father somewhere else. My men were comfortable in his house, then why should I shift him somewhere else?"
"Then, where is my father? Where would he go? Where could she go without your men knowing?
Nandini squeezed her hands. Shed too didn't know what happened.
"Tell me where my father is. Or else, you will face consequences."
"Consequences? Really Arnav? What will you do? What can you do?" She looked at her men.
They understood the meaning of her look. In no time, they held Arnav and Khushi and pointed guns at their heads. Arnav was horrified seeing Khushi in their clutch.
"What the hell are you doing? He shouted.
"You can't step out of my place. I brought a beautiful girl for you, that no wife would dare. You are enjoying her beyond the time zone... Then why are you getting hyper now? Just do what I said... Or else, I won't mind killing both of you and throwing you in the Yamuna River." She smirked devilishly.
The next second, as no one expected, Khushi raised her right leg, which reminded one of the 'Beating Retreat Ceremony' of the Wagah border's military men's HIGH KICKING marches. Her leg hit the man who was pointing a gun at her head, standing behind her. The very next second, he dropped the gun. Khushi held it in her hand, skilfully and without difficulty and rotated towards Natasha. She pressed the gun to her neck, making everyone freeze, because, her action looked like a trained one.
