There was a knock at the door
" Get in", said Chi Chi weakly.
A woman entered with a bowl of soup.
" I feel awful", said Chi Chi massaging her temples.
Rash was blissfully sleeping.
" Look little fool. You need to rest. Papa is here now. I will take care of her", said Kash.
" But Dillu", she started.
" It will take time for him to come. Excuse me miss", he looked at the servant. " Get her lie on the other bed".
" Serve soup first", said Chi Chi.
As the woman served the soup Chi Chi coughed and removed a sleeve from her dress.
" Aah sorry", she said.
" No problem miss. You lie down", said the servant.
Chi Chi remained polite as ever but her eyes hardened. She slowly sipped the soup. Kash got up and remained with his back to the servant as he poured water for her. As she finished arranging the bed she collected the plates. The door was previously closed by Kash as Chi Chi complained of light. The woman slowly opened the door and left as the girls slept.
SHE DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING WAS UNUSUAL...
But that's exactly you catch a fish
And the mole...
As soon as she left Kash latched the door again.
Rash shot up
" Chi Chi it's her", she said. " How did you know"?
" Look at the screen", she said.
They replayed the video
"She has a birthmark on this hand", she said softly.
" Hence you damaged her sleeve now", asked Kash.
Chi Chi nodded.
She pretended to take care of me during my miscarriage. B*tch. I saw this mark then. As soon as I saw it on this hand", she pointed to the video. " I knew".
" Do we need to tell your husband ", asked Kash.
" We will once we tighten our net", said Chi Chi .
" I'll get everything on this b*tch", said Rash. " The family story is a farce. We will start there. Kash we do need the copycat dress", she said.
" Sure and I will also try to find out who hired it three years ago. Bingo babes", he patted Chi Chi.
" Told ya she is a genius ", said Rash.
They all high fived.
Meanwhile
" Child you can trust me. I am a friend of your brother ", said Dr. Asthana.
Dillu looked at Guru. He nodded.
" I trust Guru. He takes care of me", said Dillu".
" What about your father"?
Guru flinched at the question. Jeet held his hand strongly.
" He is okay. Distant. Doesn't talk much. Just school grades", he said.
" Can you talk about your mother", asked the doctor.
The boy was quiet for a long time.
" She was acting wierd", he said finally.
" How"?
" She doesn't like me much before but then she stared at me, tried to bath me. I am big boy I can bath myself".
Tears flew then.
" She hugged and kissed me unnecessarily. She would", he sobbed. " She would say I am big and strong. Her eyes were wrong ".
Guru hugged him. This was how it started with him.
" She made a bad touch", he said. " Here", he pointed to his private parts.
The doctor nodded to the child welfare people and police. The statement was recorded.
" Did you drink something", he asked again.
" Mother gave me a soda but it tasted wierd", he said.
He nodded again.
" Okay you rest. Your brother will be with you", he said.
Barring Guru and Dillu others moved out.
" I am taking you to Sam's house to rest", he said. " Are you fine with it"?
" Is Rash there", asked the boy.
" Yes Dillu", he said
" I wish Rash was my mom", said Dillu weakly.
" I wish that too love", said Guru hugging him.
They cried for a long time.
Meanwhile
" Sir I have filled all the reports to the police" Dr. Asthana said to Ranjeet. " Drug abuse and minor abuse is proved with blood samples and dna samples".
" I want you to have sessions with him to bring him out of this trauma", said Jeet.
" Sure we can arrange that", he said. " Now aI take your leave".
Jeet nodded.
" I have an early morning surgery", said Shaun.
" Crash down at Malhotra's place. You head to hospital from here and Walia to office after dropping the kid at Singhania house", said Jeet.
" Sure".
" Qureshi come we are leaving now", said Jeet.
Zeeshan followed him immediately. In the car Jeet closed his eyes. Zeeshan didn't speak a word as the driver drove.
" How is Rash", he asked finally.
" Kaul messaged me. She woke up. . She is fine",
" Hmm", he nodded. " I need someone from our team around Deepak 24/7. He shouldn't find out. I need information on people around him. Do it quietly ".
" Sure chief ", said Zeeshan. " Do you suspect a mole"?
" I didn't but Mr. Gandhi's words cannot be ignored. If someone is leaking the information why can't it be the person in his circle. We can't leave out any possibility ".
" On that I will have a person from our secret group on his team by tomorrow morning ", he said.
" Ask the person to report Gandhi as well as you. If required he can act spontaneously though I doubt that", said Jeet.
" He can't ", said Zeeshan with absolute surety.. " We are here".
" I need to avoid Chanchal for now. I am heading straight to my room. But make sure Rash is alone first", he said.
Zeeshan just nodded in understanding. Jeet smoked a cigarette as he moved out.
Ding Dong
Rambabu opened the door.
" Mrs Oberoi", asked Zeeshan.
" Upstairs. Her friends are with her", said Rambabu.
Zeeshan climbed up.
He knocked the door.
" Please come in", came a soft voice.
He got in.
" You are awake", he said to Rash holding her hand.
" How's the situation ", she asked.
" The b*tch is under arrest. Viru is on his knees thanking his God you didn't vomit on him and Walia is having an emotional episode with his son", he said. " Your husband is downstairs in his room. He doesn't want to ", he pointed at Chanchal.
Rash sighed.
" I'll be there in a minute", she said.
" Dr. J.Josef", asked Chanchal weakly.
" He has a morning surgery. He crashed at Malhotra's place for the night".
" Okay", she said softly. But he could see she was disappointed. Josef scored he thought.
They chatted for a while.
" Mr. Q.Qureshi I.I.n..n.need t.to go to R.Revathi h.house", said Chanchal.
" Hell and damnation", said Zeeshu holding his head. " Okay Ms. Lucifer. I'll let Mr. Devil know that. Now I am tired. Can I sleep?
" A r.room is ar.arranged", she said.
" Y'Allah Shukran", he said as he moved out. Rash went with him.
" I am next door of you want me", said Kash to Chi Chi.
" Sure", she said.
Chanchal was not tired or sleepy. She took out her sketch book and started sketching the man from the wedding videos.
He was smiling. His eyes were bright and kind. Hopeful. Without any pain. She drew fast. That man was as tall as her husband. His build was similar. His face was same too... But ...
" You aren't him", she said after she finished the potrait. " I don't love you. The more I see you I feel it. Who can I tell this? They think I am mad. But I am not", she said.
Jeet just came there to peek to take a glimpse of his sweet Angel.
He heard her soft words. He smiled.
" You are right my love. I am your husband not him. AND YOU LOVE ME", he softly whispered.
But until she accepts him as Jeet he will never let her find out. He said her a soft Good night and moved towards his room.
