Part 40 Clear Picture
In the meanwhile,
Ratna came to AR to see her son just like the previous day. She found his cabin empty. She searched for him in the office. She saw Sheetal going somewhere. Ratna followed her. She saw Akash in the cabin.
"Where is Arnav and Aman?" Sheetal asked.
"They went to meet a new client it seems," Akash said.
"New client? I'm ASR's PA and without my knowledge how did they go?"
"Aman said, it is a sudden meet"
"When will they come?"
"I don't know. Aman didn't attend my call after I'm informed about the client meeting" Akash said.
"Arnav said, your mother asked the girl's hand for you. Is it true?"
"Which girl?"
"Khushi..."
"Mmm..."
"Do you like her?"
"I do... she is a nice girl..."
"She trapped ASR. Do you know that?"
"Mm... they are getting married"
"Do you know that?"
"Yeah... Lavanya told us when I and Mom went to Ratna Aunty's death anniversary"
"Has he gone mad? How could he choose her over me?"
"I don't know what's happening in his life" Akash sighed.
"What are you talking about?"
"Arnav found a witchcraft doll in his garden"
"Whaaat? Witchcraft doll?"
"Yes, don't know who buried it in his garden"
"How does he know about it?"
"He found it when he dug the ground to plant a rose plant."
"I think the girl herself would have done that to trap Arnav"
Akash became thoughtful.
"Think once, how could Arnav fall for her? She would have done black magic on him"
"I don't know what to say" he sighed.
"I want to see the girl... I want to see how beautiful she is. I want to see what she has that I don't have"
"She won't come out of RM. She goes only to the temple. Then how could you see her?"
"I will see her in RM"
"Didn't you see her when you went to RM?"
"She was there only but I didn't see her. At that time, I don't know, she would trap Arnav"
"But, for what reason will you go to RM? What will you say?"
"I will find a reason... or, will create a reason"
"Be careful, Arnav may misunderstand you"
"I don't care what he thinks of me... he is a moron..."
"Control yourself and concentrate on the conference. It's very important to our company... we should be careful about it because the business association president will be there. We will have to accompany Arnav to the Chamber of Commerce tomorrow"
"It's not a big deal... I have seen such conferences many times" Sheetal said, leaving Akash's room.
Ratna who heard their talks, extended her leg when Sheetal crossed her. Sheetal stumbled with it and fell down. Akash frowned, like, what happened to her? Sheetal got up and looked at her surroundings, dusting up. A few employees who saw her falling down, averted their gazes as if they didn't see her falling.

Mathura
Arnav looked at Guruji with an unnamed expression.
"You mean, Khushi released my mother's soul from the ties?" Arnav asked with unbelievable shock.
"Oh... is her name Khushi?" the Guruji asked.
Arnav nodded yes.
"Did she take birth in Devi Matha's temple?"
"Yes..."
"Then, she is the one"
"That means, did Khushi know my mother's soul's existence?"
"She could even see your mother"
That was the big blow to Arnav. Could Khushi see her mother? He remembered how Khushi talked alone and said, she talked with herself.
"Why was my mother killed?"
"What else? For the property"
"Can't I see my mother?" he asked miserably.
"Not everyone could get the ability. It needs some special power"
"Does Khushi have such power?"
"Yes... she has many divine features in her."
"But, how did she release my mother from the ties?"
"She kept a fast for the whole day and worshiped Devi Matha by chanting a special mantra... unaware of the outcome."
"Didn't she know the outcome of her fasting?"
"No... she just wanted to do that to help your family who gave her shelter. She just did that to show her gratitude. She didn't know how powerful she is because she is a simple girl. She is a blessing to you. Your marriage will be your rebirth. After that, no bad spirit will work on you. The danger is surrounding you. This is the very weak phase of your life. Taking your life will be so easy for those who are waiting to do that"
"What should I do?"
"Get Married to Devi Maiya girl. Her divinity will keep you safe. After your wedding, your mother's soul will rest in peace. It will happen because of your wife"
Arnav thought something, shrinking his face.
"May I ask you something?"
Guruji nodded yes.
"Why am I getting protected by two opposite powers? Am I that special?"
"Yes... you are special. If you survived, defeating the danger, you will become a reason for many people's survival"
"I didn't get you"
"You will get to know that soon"
"You said my life is entering into the dangerous zone... from when?"
"In an hour..."
Arnav widened his eyes.
"In an hour?" he was shocked.
"Yes... after that, you must be careful outside your house"
"But, it will take two and half an hour for me to reach Delhi"
"I know... I know you won't believe in God but for the sake of your mother, do accept this"
"What?"
"Extend your hand"
Arnav extended his hand.
Guruji took a red rope with nine knots from the feet of Durga Devi Idol. He tied it to Arnav's wrist.
"Don't remove this till your marriage. Get married as soon as possible"
Arnav looked at the rope.
"Don't think, how a rope could save you. This is a rope I kept in a Pooja for forty-eight days. It's so powerful with Durga's grace. It will protect you"
"Is there any way to see my mother?"
"You will see her before she rests in peace... but very soon, you will FEEL her"
"Now also, I feel like, someone is around me"
"Not like that..."
Arnav gulped down hard.
"Why doesn't Khushi tell me about my mother?"
"She wants to... it's your mother who stopped her because she knew you won't believe it"
Arnav closed his eyes.
"And one more thing is, she knew you will lose your temper and make the house upside down..."
Arnav was silent.
"This is not a time to react but to act wise... keep silent and observe people around you. Act accordingly. Don't give a clue to the people who wants your downfall. Think before trusting anyone. Don't forget one thing. Your marriage will happen ONLY if you give your best to it. People won't let it happen because they knew who is your strength. So, they won't let it happen."
"But, why Khushi kept fasting?"
"One of your family members is the reason"
Arnav understood it must be Nani.
"Does my Nani know about my mother's soul?"
"Yes... she knows. She was directed to your Kuldevi temple by a no longer saint. After that, everything is happening as per the fate"
"If everything is happening as per fate, how my death could be changed?"
"There are some EXCEPTIONAL cases... you are one among them. You will have to survive for your wife, as she entered your life"
"but she looks so simple..."
"That's why she is special. People like me are dying to get God's grace whereas God herself reaches the girl because of her selflessness... the belief she has in God... the pure heart that won't hurt anyone..."
Arnav felt so blissful. He got to know not only about his mother's existence but also about Khushi's divinity. He was happy at least Khushi could see his mother. His mother and Nani wanted him to marry Khushi. Let's see what they would do. Arnav decided to go with the flow and was ready to marry Khushi soon not just because his life was at stake, it's because his mother's soul would rest in peace only after his marriage. He didn't want her soul to be roaming around him restlessly. Being a good son, it was his responsibility to give peace to her soul...! And, he wanted to know who killed his mother.
"Thank you so much..." Arnav thanked the Guruji.
"Welcome"
"What's your fee?"
Guruji smiled.
"TRUST... trust God..."
Arnav nodded affirmatively. How won't he believe in God after what he experienced in his life?
Arnav was thrilled... how he was going to cross this dangerous phase? How he is going to feel his mother as the Guruji said? How his life would be with Khushi? How she was going to be the reason for the killer's death? There were a lot of questions in his mind. Yet, he would wait... go with the flow... would act accordingly... as the Guruji said.
To be continued...
