Executing the plan

UNKNOWN WIFE

As they finalized their plan, Arnav's phone buzzed with an incoming call from an known unwanted number. He hesitated for a moment before he disconnected, his eyes locked on Khushi's, and he could sense her anxiety.

Arnav – It was Shyam. He's been informed by the police that you've been found and are in the hospital.

Khushi's eyes widened, and she took a deep breath, preparing herself for what was to come.

Khushi – So soon, he got to know? But we will reach only tomorrow.

Arnav – Police has told him that you were found in Bangalore hospital. We will reach Bangalore before him don't worry.

Khushi's eyes sparkled with relief as she nodded, her faith in Arnav's plan renewed.

Khushi – You've thought of everything, haven't you?

Arnav's lips curved into a reassuring smile as he pulled Khushi into a gentle hug.

Arnav – I'll do whatever it takes to keep you safe, Khushi. Just trust me.

Khushi – I am scared Arnav Ji. (She comes close and hugs him tighter)

Arnav – Me too Khushi, but we have to be strong.

As they held each other, the tension in Khushi's body began to ease, replaced by a sense of security and comfort. She knew that with Arnav by her side, she could face whatever lay ahead. They reach Bangalore. Shyam is still struggling to get any flight to Bangalore from Delhi. He is unable to reach Arnav as Arnav as switched off his phone.

As they stepped off the plane in Bangalore, Arnav's eyes scanned the surrounding area, his instincts on high alert. He quickly ushered Khushi into a waiting car, his driver expertly navigating the crowded streets.

Khushi – Where are we going?

Arnav – A safe house. We'll stay there until we can get to the hospital and make your presence known.

Khushi nodded, her eyes fixed on Arnav's profile. She could sense the tension in his body, the coiled energy waiting to be unleashed. Meanwhile, Shyam's frustration grew as he struggled to find a flight to Bangalore. He had been trying to reach Arnav for hours, but his calls were going straight to voicemail.

Once all the arrangement are made, Khushi is brought to hospital. Arnav hugs Khushi.

Arnav – Be careful.

As Arnav hugged Khushi tightly, he could feel her heart beating rapidly against his chest. He kissed her forehead softly, his eyes locking onto hers for a brief moment.

Khushi – I'll be fine, Arnav Ji. Don't worry.

Arnav – I'll always worry about you, Khushi.

With one last glance, Arnav turned and rushed out of the hospital, his mind focused on reaching Delhi before anyone could suspect anything. He quickly boarded his private jet, his pilot waiting to take off as soon as he was on board.

As the jet soared into the sky, Arnav's thoughts turned to Khushi, his heart aching with longing. He knew that the next few hours would be crucial, and he had to be careful to avoid raising any suspicions.

Shyam gets the flight to Bangalore based on Arnav's plan and secret arrangement to delay his travel this far. He comes to the hospital with the help of Police.

With a sense of urgency, Shyam strode into the hospital, the police officers following closely behind. He approached the reception desk, his eyes scanning the area for any sign of Khushi.

Shyam – I'm looking for the patient Khushi. I was told she's being treated here.

The receptionist's eyes flickered to the police officers before returning to Shyam.

Receptionist – Ah, yes. Khushi .G. She's in room 304. But I need to inform you that she's... (pauses, choosing her words carefully and showing the direction towards the ward) ...not in a good state. She's been through a lot.

Before she completes the sentence, Shyam goes to towards the ward.

IN WARD

Shyam barges in. Doctor is treating Khushi.

Shyam – Khushi......

Khushi's eyes fluttered open, and she gazed blankly at Shyam. Her expression was vacant, devoid of any recognition or emotion. As per the plan Khushi does not recognise him.

Khushi – (in a confused tone) Who... who are you?

Shyam's face fell, his eyes widening in shock. He took a step closer to Khushi, his voice trembling with concern.

Shyam – Khushi, it's me... Shyam.

Khushi's gaze remained unfocused, her expression unchanging. She slowly shook her head, her voice barely above a whisper.

Khushi – I... I don't know you.

Shyam calls Anjali and informs about Khushi's condition. Shyam's voice was laced with worry as he spoke to Anjali on the phone.

Shyam - I'm at the hospital in Bangalore. Khushi's here, but she doesn't recognize me.

Anjali - What do you mean she doesn't recognize you?

Shyam - She looks at me like I'm a stranger. The doctor says she's suffering from partial amnesia. She had met with some accident it seems.

Anjali - Okay, Shyam Ji. Stay with her for now. I'll talk to Chotte and see what we can do.

Shyam – Okay

As Shyam ended the call, he looked at Khushi with a mix of concern and confusion. He didn't know what to make of her condition or how to help her regain her memory. He still had that slight doubt that Khushi might be Arnav's wife and Arnav doesn't know it yet. He wanted to ensure that and kill her before Arnav finds out about their relation.

Khushi, still pretending not to recognize Shyam, looked away, her eyes fixed on the window.

Meanwhile, Arnav was on his way back to Delhi, his mind preoccupied with thoughts of Khushi and their plan. He knew that the next few days would be crucial, and he had to be careful to avoid raising any suspicions.As he landed in Delhi, Arnav's phone buzzed with an incoming call from his driver.

Arnav - Hello?

Driver - Sir, I've arrived at the airport.

Arnav - Ok, I am coming out. (He comes out and gets into the car)

Driver - Where would you like me to take you?

Arnav - Take me home. I need to get some rest.

As Arnav settled into the car, he couldn't help but think about Khushi and how she was doing. He knew that she was playing a crucial role in their plan, and he was proud of her for being so brave. He gets call from Anjali

Arnav - Hello?

Anjali - Chotte, Shyam Ji just called me from Bangalore. Khushi's been found, but she's suffering from partial amnesia.

Arnav - What? That's terrible. How is she? What happened to her?

Anjali - Shyam ji said , she doesnt recognise him. Doctors have told she has lost  some of the memory power. He is with her for now in Bangalore hospital. Let's get her home Chotte.

Arnav – Di, Do you really want to do this? She was just a caretaker for you. What will we do by bringing her home? We don't even know about her personal life. (He acted uncared)

Anjali - Arnav, what's wrong? Why are you saying this? Khushi is like family to us.

Arnav - Nothing, Di. I just think we should be careful. We don't know what happened to her or how she ended up in Bangalore.

Anjali - Arnav, Khushi needs our help. We can't just leave her in Bangalore. We have to bring her home and take care of her.

Arnav  - Okay Di, as you wish. I'll make arrangements to bring her home.

As Arnav ended the call, he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. Meanwhile, Khushi was still in the hospital, pretending to suffer from partial amnesia. Shyam was by her side, looking worried and concerned.

Shyam - Khushi, can you remember anything? Anything at all? (Khushi shook her head, trying to look confused and disoriented)

Khushi  - I... I don't know. I don't remember anything. What should I remember? Who are you?

Shyam's face fell, looking disappointed and worried. He didn't know what to make of Khushi's condition or how to help her regain her memory and find out if she was Arnav's wife or not.

Arnav made arrangements to bring Khushi to their home in Delhi. But he was behaving like he doesn't care if she come or not. He also arranged a new caretaker for Anjali since Khushi was supposed act to be sick now.
