45 Khushi's plan
Part 45 Khushi's plan
Khushi rushed to Arnav's room. He was arranging his things in his new room. She checked the Shiva linga and ensured it was filled with water. Arnav looked at her and raised his brows questioningly.
"I found out something", she said, whispering.
"What?" he asked in the same way.
"The Murthy brothers are not going to let our wedding happen"
Arnav straightened himself.
"What do you mean?" he frowned.
"What did they tell Uncle Arvind when he wanted to announce our wedding?"
"What?"
"Didn't they ask Uncle Arvind to wait until Aunty Ratna gets cured?"
Arnav nodded.
"Do you know why they asked so?"
"Tell me, why?"
"It's because they don't want our wedding to take place..."
"But Appa will get us married after Ratna Madam recovers"
"Only after she recovers... but she won't recover..."
"But why? She is consuming the medicine given by Gorakar. Don't you have faith in the medicine?"
"I have faith in the medicine, but I don't believe in the Murthy brothers. They planned well not to let our wedding take place."
"What plan?"
"What did the doctor say while giving the medicine? Didn't he say Aunty Ratna should not eat non-vegetarian food while taking the drug?"
"Not only non-vegetarian but also tamarind and tomatoes"
"But, they are providing her non-vegetarian to Aunty Ratna everyday without anyone's knowledge"
"What do you mean?" he tightened his jaws.
"Yes, this is why they purposely took the responsibility to feed her medicine"
"How do you know?"
"I smelled fish fry in her room. Aunty Ratna also nagged Madhavi for fish fry while searching for the fish fry plate"
"How dare they! I'm not going to leave them. From here on, you will look after her... understand? I'm going to tell Appa about them and will tear their masks" He took a step to leave the place, but Khushi stopped him by spreading her hand, blocking his way.
"Wait, Arnav, sir"
"Why do you want me to wait? They are feeding non-vegetarian to Ratna madam and stopping our wedding. How could I be calm?"
"No, I don't ask you to be calm. We should defeat them on their own terms. They are planning to knock us down. We should do the same."
"What do you want us to do?"
"The Shivlinga-dipped water"
Arnav looked at her, surprised. Khushi nodded yes.
"Do you think this is the purpose for which Gorakar gave me the Shivlinga?" Arnav asked.
"I suppose...then why should he give the Shivlinga after giving the proper medicine that can cure any disease with the right combination?"
Arnav became thoughtful.
"We would have been confused if Aunty Ratna had not been cured even after taking the medicine. We should also play in the same way. We should confuse them. They should scratch their head seeing Aunty Ratna's recovery"
Arnav nodded.
"Ok, go ahead. How will you give the medicine?"
"Though they take care of Ratna Aunty, she sleeps in Uncle Arvind's room at nights."
Arnav nodded yes.
"Tonight, after Uncle Arvind goes to her room, you and I will go to their room"
"Then?"
"You should divert Uncle Arvind from Aunty Ratna. Of course, Uncle will concentrate on only you if you're with him," she chuckled, and Arnav rolled his eyes, smiling.
"He loves you so much, you know?"
"Complete your plan first," he said, smiling.
"I will feed Aunty Ratna the water using the gap. What say?"
"Mmm... good idea let's Ratna, madam, cure... we should end this dirty minded people's game"
"Ratna aunty herself will end their game, mark my words"
"Let's see"
"Don't you meet Sathya Narayana?"
"Are not you coming with me?"
"No...I'm not coming. I will keep an eye on the Murthy Brothers. You lock the room and go. No one should see the Shivlinga"
Arnav sighed and nodded. After locking the room, he left the palace.
Arnav emerged from the Palace and asked the driver to start the car. He sat in the car and said,
"Take me to Pancha Nandi village"
The driver looked at him perplexedly and nodded, as he was supposed to obey Prince's order. He drove the car towards Panch Nandhi.
"Do you know Sathya Narayana's residency?"
"I don't know, your highness, but we can inquire..."
"Mmm..."
Their car entered the Panch Nandhi village. They saw a few villagers in the temple.
"Stop the car", Arnav said and got out of the car.
He went to the villagers and asked,
"I would like to meet Mr. Sathya Narayana. Could you tell me his address?"
"Go straight for two hundred meters." You will see a large bungalow on the left side, painted light green. That's his house"
"Thank you"
Arnav walked to his car.
"Where are you coming from?" The villager asked, as Arnav seemed new to the palce.
"From Sivan Kudil," Arnav said as he headed his car.
The villager was dumbfounded.
"One minute..." he rushed to Arnav.
"Tell me"
"Why do you want to meet him? Who are you? Do you know Sivan Kudil and Pancha Nandhi villages are rivals?"
"Not Sivan Kudil and Pancha Nandhi villages are rivals, the King Arvind and Sathya Narayana sir became enemies due to a misunderstanding. Everything will be all right." Arnav said as he got into the car. That left the villagers speechless.
Arnav directed the driver to Sathya Narayana's residence. He got out of the car and walked. He stopped at the massive door and knocked on it, even though it was already open.
"Is anybody there in the house?" Arnav raised his voice.
A girl from the nearby room peeped out with a Pooja plate in her hands. She was stuck, seeing Arnav. She gazed at him without blinking.
"I want to see Mr Sathya Narayana..." Arnav said, ignoring her steady gaze.
"Who is that?" Came from the next room, and the next second, Sathya Narayana came from the room.
He was surprised to see Arnav in his place. He walked fast to him smilingly.
"I know that one day you will come to me because no one could stay with a cheater like Arvind"
"He is not a cheater, " came Arnav's reply.
"He is... he cheated you and me... we know that"
"No... It's a misunderstanding. He lied to me only to take me to his palace because Ratna Madam called me SON. He didn't want to disappoint her, who was already mentally ill. Anyone in his place would have done the same... even you... and me"
Sathya Narayana was stuck.
"Maybe... but I can't forget what he did to me. Being my friend, he ignored my plea"
"No... he didn't know you loved Ratna Madam"
"I sent a message, and he replied"
"It's not him... in fact, he didn't even receive your message. It was someone who sent you the message in his name..."
"Who had the guts to do that against the Prince?"
"Maybe the King..."
Sathya Narayana gulped hard.
"You know very well in what situation his father fixed his wedding with Ratna Madam. His father separated him from his wife, brought him to his village and arranged the wedding without his consent. If that were the case, how would the king let him know about your love for Ratna Madam? Didn't his father know he would run away if he found out?"
Sathya Narayana was stuck again.
"He is innocent and repenting for whatever happened between you two. Still, he thinks of you as his friend. That's why I came here to meet you—to tell you the truth because I don't want you to grow venom in your heart who doesn't deserve it"
"I can't believe this..."
"I have another doubt also", Arnav said.
"What?"
"Someone else, instead of the king, would have replied to the message you sent"
"Who?"
"Murthy brothers..."
Sathya Narayana's brows went up.
"Why do you doubt?"
"Seeing their atrocities in the palace, I think so. To get the Royal's relationship, they would have replied to your message and showed your friend Arvind heartless in your eyes"
Sathya Narayana didn't deny it because he was familiar with the Murthy Brothers.
"Did you ask Arvind about it?"
Arnav nodded.
"Did he answer you?"
"Patiently..."
"Unbelievable"
"Why?"
"I can't believe Arvind had become that tolerant as to answer his manager..."
Arnav was silent.
"First of all, how does he give you the right to question him? Didn't he get angry when you asked him about his personal matters?"
Arnav nodded no.
"But why? Why did he answer you patiently? Didn't he ask, ' Who are you to question me?"
"He didn't ask me who are you because he knew who am I"
"Means? I didn't get you"
"I'm his SON... his first wife Amrita's son", Arnav said, shocking Sathya Narayana.
