Epilogue
A week later
Khushi and her uncle visited the place where Nandhini and Natasha were being kept. Durga was there guarding them. She saluted them. Khushi nodded slightly. Then she looked at Nandhini and Natasha who were completely exhausted. Their legs were swallowed. Their bodies started becoming dark due to a lack of blood circulation. They looked at her weakly.
"Water..." Nandhini asked.
"I have no problem in giving you water but your life span will extend along with your pain. Is it ok?" She asked.
Nandhini looked at her dizzily.
"How do you feel? Feeling numb? Hungry, thirsty, body pain... etc., etc.,?"
Khushi sat on a chair in front of them.
"I don't know yoy are so cruel..." Nandhini said. Her mouth was dry like hell. Yet, she managed to speak.
"This is how people who were kidnapped by you would have felt. How mercilessly did you tear them for their organs and throw them in the Yamuna river, tying them with a stone? We will also do the same to you. We will reap what we sow. That's karma...! I want you to get your complete karma in this birth itself. Actually, I'm helping you. If I had surrendered you to the court, however, you would have gotten out of the case, or, gotten bail. The case would have been dragged into hiring after hiring. You should have waited to get your Judgement for a few more births. Of course, you would have roamed freely and casually. But now, see, your chapter is going to close without any drama."
"Please let me go. I will not be in India. Please, this is so painful..." She pleaded.
"Pain is common for all. If you minded about others' pain, you would not have faced this pain. Wish for an early death..."
That was when Khushi's phone rang. It stopped with only one ring. Khushi smiled.
"Do you know whose call it was?" She asked Nandhini.
Nandini looked at her.
"I can say without even looking at my phone it's Arnav's call. He just gives me a ring because he doesn't want to disturb me. He knows I will call him back if I am free. If I don't call him back, he will understand I am busy with my work. Do you know how understanding he is? Of course, you would have known that. Who else other than you knows that well? How patiently he had waited for you to accept your relationship, even though he lost his patience!" She sighed.
"Leave it... You don't understand something beyond your knowledge. You won't give heed to anyone other than Natasha. Right?" She looked at Natasha.
Natasha opened her eyes and looked at her.
"I am not tauting you. Being lesbians is not your fault. It's an error of nature. But... hiding it from Arnav, you should not have tortured him because he too has feelings and a personal life. You should not have gotten into the relationship with him. Then our lives would have been different. You are the reason for our struggles. So the punishment is unavoidable.." She stood up from the chair and looked at Durga.
"I think you don't need to be here anymore, Durga. They can't move anymore. You just carry on..."
Durga nodded.
Khushi looked at Raj.
"I will take care of them, beta. You just carry on..."
"Thank you, uncle..." Khushi left the place with Durga.

Khushi came home and saw Arnav in the living room with Arvind. They smiled at her.
"Hi," Arnav smiled at her brightly.
"Hi..." She sat with them.
"Have you had lunch?" Arnav asked.
"Yes, I had... I will prepare tea..." She said and stood up.
"You wait, beta. I will prepare," Arvind said.
"It's ok, uncle. Let me do it when I'm at home."
"You just came home. You can do that when you are at home." Arvind said lovingly.
"Uncle, please don't make me embarrassed. I will do."
"You both sit. I will prepare..." Arnav went to the kitchen, cutting off the argument.
Arvind and Khushi looked at each other and smiled.
"I will come, changing, uncle..." Khushi said.
Arvind nodded and Khushi went to their room. Arvind headed to the kitchen.
"I asked you to sit. Just have a talk with your bahu.." Arnav said.
"Khushi went to your room to change."
"Oh..."
"You go... I will prepare ginger tea..."
"Are you sure?"
"Yup..."
Arnav came to their room and didn't see Khushi there. She was in the washroom. He smiled at her when she came out wipping her wet face with a smooth towel.
"It seems you are busy today..." Arnav asked.
She knew why he said that because she didn't call him back.
"I was in an important meeting..."
"I guessed it because you didn't call me back."
She nodded.
"Is anything serious...?"
"No, no. Just a usual call."
She came to him and circled his neck.
"You are a good husband you know." She kissed his cheek.
"Really?" He dashed her forehead with his.
"Yeah, usually husbands get upset if their wives don't answer their call. They even doubt them..."
"Doubt?" He chuckled.
"Why?" She flinched.
"My wife is not a commoner but a CBI officer. Usually, wives became CBI officers when it comes to find out their husband's thievishness. In my case, my wife is a real CBI officer. Doubting her will not have a point because, she is a criminal of criminals..." He laughed.
Khushi dropped her jaw.
"Am I a criminal?"
"Aren't you? You cheated the great criminal called Nandhini and made her believe that you are innocent. Then, who are you?"
"I will act criminal for criminals... It doesn't mean I'm a criminal..."
"I'm just kidding..."
She leaned on his shoulder.
"I know. Even though you said that seriously, I don't mind..."
He pulled her from the hug and asked,
"Don't you mind?"
She nodded no.
"Why?"
"Don't you know?" She pinched his lower lip and kissed.
"Is it because you love me...?"
"Not only that, it's because it's you who said that. I can't be upset with you, no matter what." She again leaned on his shoulder.
"Won't you get upset with me for anything?" Arnav smiled.
"I don't even have time to be with you. Then, where do I have time to be upset with you?"
"This sounds good. It seems no problem will occur if every wives are busy like you..."
"It's possible only if every wives are like me..."
"Then it's impossible... No one is like you."
"Yes, no one could be crazy about her husband like I do..."
"I'm glad about it." He said proudly.
That was when they heard,
"Guys, tea is getting cold..." From Arvind.
Arnav and Khushi looked at each other and smiled.
"Let's go,"
They went out smilingly to have a hot ginger tea. Their lives also became hot and spicy with each other.
