Bride of Sheesh Mahal - Season 3 - Part 46


PREVIOUS PART



Chapter 46


Khushi’s POV


It’s hard to be away from Arnav, and not knowing how he is doing there without me. I have heard he has stopped looking for me and I wonder why? He didn’t even go to the police station as he was supposed to do like Shyam Jeejaji had told us two days back. I do get every update from Shyam about Arrnav but they are all very superficial. He can tell me how Arnav is doing on the outside but I can sense he is broken from the inside and is missing me badly. Even when he is under Chandrika’s spell, Arnav could sense my pain in my tears, then how could he even assimilate his thoughts that I am no more in his life?


“Khushi,” Sheetal nudges me gently to break my trance. “You okay?”

I pass a soft nod before turning away. My health is much better now and my wounds are healing.

“I know you are missing him, Khushi. But..”

“He needs me, Sheetal.” A tear falls down my eye. “He needs me by his side. I can’t even imagine what he is going through in Sheesh Mahal without me.”


Sheetal presses my arm.

“This will all be over soon, Khushi. Earlier it was only you and Arnav fighting against the evil, this time your whole family is supporting you two. At this rate we will be breaking this spell before the lunar eclipse.”


I shut my eyes. That’s my only relief. The confidence of the family that we together would be able to bring this change. But I don’t understand how? Shyam had not succeeded in decoding the safe deposit locker of Anjali and get the key from it until today evening when he finally managed to and got the key out. He kept a dummy key in its place so that Anjali doesn't get the clue. It seems from past two nights Anjali is behaving a bit weird to the family. She is mostly being quiet and not conversing much but she is also always around Arnav. That’s why I worry so much. If she could hurt me, she can also hurt Arnav.


NK knocks the door. He is here with the key. The moment he gives me the key, I observe it keenly. It’s of old fashion and very huge as if it belongs to some big door.


“I have researched on this type of keys Bhabhi. They definitely belong to some ancient mansion doors. But what is this door about, what is it hiding and how did your mother find it is still a mystery,” NK mentions.


I try to think hard.

“Maybe your mother met Chandrika again and this key belongs to the place which is her hideout?” Sheetal suggests.

“No.. But how could she guarantee that until we put this key to use, Chandrika will be hiding in that same place? I don’t think that’s possible. She could switch her hideouts anytime to ensure we didn’t catch her.”


NK is right and that give some clarity to my suspicions. I stare at the key closely.


“This key is very similar to the keys of Sheesh Mahal doors. I’m confident this key belongs to some door of Sheesh Mahal.”

“That’s impossible Bhabhi,” NK mentions. “Me and Akash have looked at every place in the basement and it has nothing that can lead us to any door to which this key belongs to.”

“Are you sure, you checked every single corner of Sheesh Mahal?” I ask.

“Yes”

“The basement?”

“Every corner of it,” he confidently replies.

“The garage?”

NK is confused.

“The garage?”

“Yes, NK. The same place which is at the backyard and where all the old stuff from the basement is dumped. I remember Arnav telling me that while renovating the basement into a study room where you could work, he had asked the servants to dump everything from that room into the garage. Have you checked that place?”


NK shrugs.

“No. I’ll do that tonight. Me and Akash will find it out.”


I don’t know if we are even looking at the right direction but I have a hope that Devi Maiyaa is helping us finding the door to this key very soon. We have even told Payal and her father too about what’s happening as we will need her father’s help in performing the Devi Maiyaa ritual on the Lunar eclipse day to break the spell which Chandrika has casted. But all that is possible if we find Chandrika and through her we could trace the source of the spell. Just then my phone rings. It’s Shyam’s phone call.


“Hello, jeejaji. Any update? Is Arnav alright?”

“He is fine but I just heard Anjali talking to someone on the phone. She was planning to meet someone exactly one day before the lunar eclipse. Before I could hear further, she disconnected the call. I purposely later told her if I could take her to meet my family in Delhi on that same day and she denied stating she will be going to the temple on that day observing fast for Arnav’s wellbeing. I don’t know why but I felt she has lied to me and is just waiting for a chance to leave home to meet this person whom she was speaking on the phone.”


That’s a valuable information.


“Okay, lets get someone to follow her. Akash or NK someone has to follow her that day.” I suggest. “Maybe we find some clue to Chandrika’s whereabouts and I too have a strong feeling she is going there to meet Chandrika her if its one day prior to Lunar eclipse.”


Shyam was silent for a few seconds.

“Jeejaji I know this is all hard for you to believe but you have seen it from your own eyes that Di pushed me into the well. She is harmful to us at the moment and until we know why she is doing this, we cannot believe her again.”

“I know, Khushi. That’s why I am supporting you. I’ll follow her myself, don’t worry. And make sure I take a backup too, just in case. Like Akash or NK.”

“Okay, thank you.”

********************

Daadi’s POV


It’s been two days and we haven’t found Khushi yet. Yes, I know she is alive and even know she is at Sheetal’s place but Arnav doesn't know this and it bothers me. He hasn’t eaten well from past two days and he is not even mingling with the family. It’s strange how he suddenly stopped panicking about her and didn’t even demand to go to the police station to look for his missing wife. This has me worried because it is very important for me to know what Arnav is thinking about this entire situation. So, this is why I enter his room and find him standing at the poolside, alone, looking at the sky, at the diminishing moon. Even the eclipse is after three days and we are yet to find some concrete solution to break Chandrika’s spell.

“Arnav,” I call him out but he doesn't turn. So, I make my way to him and stroke his arm.

“Speak to me, Chotte. I know this is all tough for you and Khushi’s absence is just heartbreaking but I need to know what you are thinking at the moment. Please.. Please don’t be so quiet. I am worried for you..”

“I am responsible for all this,” Arnav murmurs, but still doesn't look at me. “I can feel it, Daadi. I am responsible for it. I think that night, when I was under the spell in the basement, I have hurt Khushi.”


I swallow painfully seeing my grandson in pain. He turns to me.

“Khushi had a premonition which she had shared with me.. I was going to push her in the well and I think I did exactly that, Daadi. That night, I pushed her in the well, confirming her premonitions were true.”


I know Khushi was pushed into the well but I know it wasn’t Arnav who did it. But I can’t tell him this yet. Not until we find Chandrika and break this connection which Arnav has with her.

“How can you be so confident?” I ask.

“Because I inspected the well, Daadi. And saw blood in that well. It was definitely Khushi’s.”


I am speechless. Arnav inspected the well? Without telling us? When? And why was he not doing anything if he felt he had pushed Khushi in the well?

Arnav looks away from me and then back at the sky.


“But I know she is alive..” he says smiling softly.

My heart thumps. He is so confident of that too?

“How?” I stutter.. “How do you think she is alive if you saw her blood there?” I ask.

“Because my heart is still beating, Daadi,” he mentions looking in my eyes with tears in his. He touches his heart and pats it softly. “I can feel hers beating too somewhere. She’s gone away from me for a reason and I want her to be away. I am dangerous for her life. I can’t risk to be with her ever again.. I can’t…”


Tears roll down his cheeks and that very instant, I take my grandson in my embrace. I can’t see him in this state. He is so much in love with Khushi that he can feel her heart beating at some corner of the world and he wants her safe .. from him. Their love is great and I know it is this love that will give them the necessary strength to fight back the evil. I am confident!!

*******************

Khushi’s POV – 2 days to Lunar Eclipse


I am pacing in the room, feeling helpless after Daadi’s call last night. She told me whatever conversation she had with Arnav and its killing me to feel his pain for me. He knows I am alive somewhere.. he wants me safe.. He loves me. I want to see him. I know its risky but I want to see him and know he is safe too. Just when I am thinking about it, NK calls me.


“Hello?”

“Bhabhi.. you were right.. The garage has a secret door.. and I think it’s where the key fits in..”

My heart skips a beat. A secret door?

“We need the key to check if it fits in it and opens this door, Bhabhi. I’ll come to take it.”

“No,” I deny. “I’ll come there with the key.”

“What? No.. You can’t. It’s risky if Nannav or Anjali Di sees you here and besides I am not going to end up your life in danger again.”

“NK, under no circumstance I am letting you or someone else check that secret door by yourselves. I can’t risk your lives. And don’t worry, no one will see me there. We will check this door tonight when Arnav and Anjali are asleep.”

NK thinks for a minute.


“Okay, bring Sheetal along, we might need her too. Akash and I’ll be here, waiting at the back garage of Sheesh Mahal. I’m not getting very good vibes from this door Bhabhi…”

“Then maybe that’s what we were looking for all these days.. Let’s find it out.”

“Yep”


I disconnect the call and hurry inside to give this update to Sheetal. We have work to do tonight!

I had no intention to marry till I met Tanisha Gupta. More than her gorgeous chocolate brown eyes, her petite curves and sassy attitude, her accomplishments as the current CEO of Gupta Industries, and her commitment and dedication to expanding her company allured me. Though I admired her love and sense of responsibility towards her half-sister for whom my marriage alliance was proposed, Taani, was all I had in mind, she was the only one I wanted.

Tanisha Gupta
I was looking for potential grooms for my younger sister when I met Sameer Khanna. More than his smart, charming personality and his oh so sexy French beard, Sameer’s eagerness to bring out my true self, the woman I used to be when my father was alive, drew me towards him. Much as I tried to resist him, my heart finally crossed the line it shouldn't have.

But were the sparks of attraction, compatibility, and respect that we felt for each other enough to sustain the Love that happened by chance between us?

  2. Awesome Update. Khushi can't be away from Arnav and understands his condition very well. They bond they share and the love they have is amazing. Sheetal is with Khushi. Khushi is very emotional and is vulnerable too as she has to stay away from Arnav. Anjali is behaving weird. She definitely has some connection with Chandrika. NK got the key which belong to the door of Sheesh Mahal. Hope they find Chandrika soon. Payal's dad also helping in breaking the spell. Anjali is planning something on the Lunar eclipse and lied to Shyam also. Khushi understood Shyam's emotions too. Arnav is staying aloof from the family. Daadi Arnav part was very emotional. Arnav loves Khushi and is blaming himself when Anjali is the culprit. Arnav thinking that he is dangerous for Khushi. Arshi's love will definitely conquer all evils. Khushi is also getting pain and is restless. NK got the door and Khushi wants to open it. Hope this time they succeed and free Arnav from that evil Chandrika's spell. Thanks for the amazing Update😍

  6. The one thing in this story which I didn't understand is that chandrika left her husband and started loving arnav father and wanted to get married to him .. then how come she suddenly developed a love for her husband when he died..?
    I feel the motto is not correct or illogical in this story ..

  7. Interesting! I feel that the mystery is finally getting solved. I hope Arnav or Anjali don't cause trouble for Khushi when she opens the door. Arnav and Khushi love each other a lot. After so long it felt so good to read Arnav's POV. I was missing him a lot from last few updates. Please update the next part soon!

  8. I feel sorry for both Arnav and khushi. So key is there and now they have found the door also. Whatever inside it hope they don’t fail in their mission against evil. Thank you for the update!!!

  9. I'm sure now that the door will open to fight Khushi Anjali will come ahead as i feel Anjali is the maid evil behind all this and not Arnav.. Arnav was just used to do some needful by chandrika.. Anjali is the maid reason for all the problem.. hope the mystery solves soon cause this has already been dragged long enough more dragging would just cause it to lose the charm
