Arnav came back to Delhi next day. His routine started. Papaji had initialized second level of withdrawal strategy giving in the notice of withdrawing all of his 50% shares including bought from Arnav Singh Raizada. This made sham desperate. He had to take a drastic step to retain his position in the company. He contacted rattan Singh Thakur to pitch in and buy the shares. But Rattan Singh was trapped in other issues as the cases went against him and he had to lose his possession on Sheesh Mehal. Another big issue was racked up with his own identity. .
Rattan Singh Thakur, outright denied pitching in. He had left that issue to Sham, his right hand man. Sham was desperate. He had no other option.
Arnav was busy with his business and also with family matters. That day he saw Sham going out and entered his Di's room asking about her health. She looked happy and contented.
"Di, I feel you should take bed rest now. I will tell our doctor to have a regular check up. We need to consult our doctor also since he knows you and all your problems." Said Arnav sitting next to her on her bed.
"No need Chote, he has taken care of everything. The doctor comes home regularly for the check up. He is happy with the progress of the foetus. He says everything is normal." She said dismissing the suggestion.
"Di, please, for my sake? I will feel better if you take a second opinion..!" he pleaded. She looked at her brother lovingly and said stroking his head "Ok Baba. If you feel better I will co operate with your doctor. But don't tell him. He will feel bad!"
"Oh! Sure di. And I will take the appointment immediately!" He got up excitedly.
"One hurdle crossed!" he thought satisfied.
That afternoon, he went to the kitchen. Ram Prakash was out somewhere and the maid was completing the cleaning work. He asked her to get him a cup of black coffee and went to his room.
The maid knocked on the door and came in with the tray. He stared at her as she turned to leave and said "Wait!" she froze.
"Is there anything you know which we do not know about Sham?" He asked directly. She turned looking confused.
'I mean, tell me if you know anything about him!" he ordered her. She looked frightened. She stared at the floor and shook her head. Arnav was disappointed but decided to wait for some more time.
She went up to the door and turned and said "We have to take care of Anjali Madam. She is in danger...!"
"I know that!" spat Arnav angrily. She waited for a second and then said in a bear whisper... "He plans to administer the medicine for her himself!"
"What?" Arnav got up with a jerk.
"He has given me this... to mix it in her juice ... I haven't done that. I mix glucose instead of this white powder" She kept a unlabeled sachet on the table.
He picked it up looking aghast. "Sir, I will not do anything that would harm this family.. you have done so much for us... my son's future is secured....!" She said on the verge of crying.
"don't worry about your child!" he said assuring and then asked her "will you inform me about anything he will be up to?" She nodded and went out.
He breathed a sigh of relief. This new maid whom he had thrown out in rage turned out to be blessing in disguise.
He called up his doctor for the appointment. He should keep sham away at the time of Doctor's visit.
He felt frustrated... "Damn it! So many things to be managed and to be cushioned up! This is damn complex. One person... just one person is making all of us spin our heads to stop him!" he thought.
There was a knock on the door. Ram prakash came telling that some people are waiting for him downstairs. He came down and discussed the plan with them and took them upstairs to his bedroom block. The family members were surprised. He just said "Renovation!"
"What? A few days before we had the house renovated and painted... and now?" asked nani. Arnav just smiled and went back to his room.
*** *** ***
Arnav managed to get his doctor for the check up. The doctors suggested some tests and when they came out of her room said "It might be the psudo pregnancy symptoms!" The doctors sounded serious but somewhere deep down Arnav felt a ray of hope. He crossed his fingers. He had given the unlabeled packet for lab testing.
He made sure that the maid has enough bank balance. His business pressures kept him away from the house most of the time.
The maid was the blessing in disguise but a friend was turning into enemy in the office!
His cell rang early in the morning and he woke up with a jerk. It was papaji and he said it was time to take the plan to the next level.
Arnav felt little nervous but then he remembered what khushi had told him about her conversation with nani. He felt hopeful. He went down to have his coffee at the table. Mami was there having her early morning tea with payal attending to her demands. Aakash had not yet got up. Nani was in her room. Anajli was still in the bedroom tired with her morning sickness. He waited for some time and then entered Nani's room.
"Nani" Arnav called out in a soft voice. Nani turned with a jerk. She was finishing her morning prayer.
"Yes, chote.. get in!" she called him in.
"What is it?" she asked after waiting for a while for Arnav to speak up.
"Khushi...." He fumbled. He did not know how to open the topic.
"What is it about her?" asked nani sternly and then continued..
"Chote, whatever you may think about her, I have accepted her as my grand daughter in law!" she declared.
He felt relieved. "Nani, I want to talk about it" he said looking at her.
She just raised her eyebrows.
"Um.. I mean... I thought about it for long and have decided to give it a social status!" he said in determination.
Nani gaped at him and asked, "What do you want, Chote?" She looked suspicious.
"I will marry her again to give her the status!" he said firmly not losing his control or sounding vulnerable.
Nani had a hard look at him and asked "Are you sure about this? This time, don't do anything impulsively!" she said sternly looking at him.
He felt enraged. He opened his mouth to retort back with bitter words but swallowed them instead and said "Yes!".
He turned to leave. "Chote, wait a minute. When did you decide this?" asked Nani. He did not answer.
"Do you want me to talk to her?" asked nani.
"No! i will manage!" he said and left the room. Nini stood there wondering and then broad smile appeared on her face. She joined hands to pray.

He came to office with his spirits lifted. He had called up papaji to give him the details. Then talked to Khushi asking her "So tell me when will you be ready for the wedding?" with mock seriousness.
Sham had a meeting of Del-Ta liaison board members. He knew what was coming. He had no takers and did not have enough funds to go on his own. He decided to wait and watch. Arnav had refrained from asking him anything about it as he had no interest. He already had sold his share to BTR group.
Sham attended the meeting and when he came out he looked satisfied. He had managed to persuade BRT group from selling their shares showing them the rosy picture of the future projects. He had bought time.
He visited ASR on his way to his cabin and shook hands with him smirking. Arnav raised his eyebrows asking him the reason of his smirk.
"Nothing! Saale Saab! I am just happy that the board members are happy with the progress. You took the decision to sell prematurely. It would have fetched you a great price" He said contemptuously. ASR refrained from reacting and stared at him blankly. Sham went to his cabin humming and after a while came back. ASR looked surprised. "What is it?" he again turned back to his laptop, giving sham time to speak up.
"Saale Saab, I must say.. That was a good move!" Sham said little louder to attract ASR's attention. He looked up raising his eyebrow.
"I mean... you withdrew to salvage your company and contract. That was great thinking. but I feel you lacked in foresight. Had you continued with my company you would have earned more..!" Sham said slyly.
ASR gestured him to sit. Sham satisfied with his statement, sat in front of ASR who had leaned back and had folded his hands on his chest shutting down his laptop.
"Tell me what is it that you want?" asked ASR coming to the point.
"Nothing! I was just wondering, a prudent businessman like you can blunder and land in trouble.." He waited for ASR's reaction. Nothing happened. ASR looked well guarded. Sham was confused.
"I take the decision and do not solicit anyone's advise. so its my decision and i face the consequences!" said ASR firmly.
"So how about this? I advise Raani Saheba to sell off all her shares from AR group and invest in My company?" asked Sham scornfully. ASR showed no expressions.
He looked at Sham and said, "Yeah! go ahead and try that!" Sham stared at him and getting up said "Saale saab we will talk about it later. you seem not to be in good state of mind!" he smirked and left. ASR reflected the similar smirk.
