Part 29 Poor Subi

Subhadra decided to surrender her SIM card. She was not ready to take risks. If the girl could send a message to Kamini... she will definitely send a message to the police also. It will lead her to trouble for sure... she thought.

Completing the pooja, she came to the dining hall. Arvind was having breakfast with Arnav.

"Arvind, I have been decided to surrender my SIM card..." She said.

Arnav stopped eating and looked at her.

"Why mom? Any problem?"

"No... not at all... I think the mobile phone is unnecessary."

Before Arvind said anything,

"Yeah... you can surrender. Only youngsters would get scared of surrendering the SIM card." Arnav said smilingly.

"Why...? Why youngsters would get scared?"

"The sim card company announced that if any of their customers surrender or change their company SIM card, they will let all their secrets out..."

"Whaaaat!" Subhadra was shocked.

"Yeah... people who have secrets in their phones should be scared... not you..." Arnav said smilingly.

Subhadra gulped down... as she had been done all the secret missions through her phone. Will they really release all the secrets? Fear dominated Subhadra's mind.

"Give me your sim card... I will surrender it..." Arvind said.

Subhadra didn't know what to do... and how to deny it... at that time, Ratna came to the dining with a juice jar.

"Arvindji, we have to do a purchase of needed things for the marriage."

"When will you want us to go for the purchase?"

"Tomorrow..."

"Ok... I have to surrender Mom's sim card. After that, we will go."

"Surrendering the sim card is not important. Do the purchase first." Subhadra said.

"That's ok mom... I will do it by tomorrow."

"I want to surrender it after marriage only. I need a phone until the marriage. We will do it after the marriage..."

Arvind nodded ok whereas Arnav smiled inwardly.

"What ritual today?"

"Mehandi... I have called some of ours and Garima's friends."

"That's good... we will come back home soon."

"No need..." Ratna said smilingly.

"But why?" Arnav asked.

"Because this is lady's only function."

"Ohh... what will you guys do?"

"All of us will draw Mehandi on our palms."

"What's special in that?"

"Khushi will write your name on her palm," Ratna said.

Arnav smiled. But he is not allowed to get part of the function. How would he see his name on her hand?

He went to his room... no, in the pretext of going to his room, he went to the guest room to meet Khushi. He saw her drying her wet hair with a towel. She looked at him who entered the room.

Before she asked, "what are you doing here...?"

"Dadi has been decided to surrender her SIM..."

"Really?" She chuckled.

"Yeah... but I stopped her..."

"Good job..."

"Then... what's special today?"

"Today is Mehandi..."

"What will you do?"

"My hands will get applied with Mehandi."

"I heard something else..."

"What?"

"My name is going to be written on your palm..."

"Yes, so...?" She asked casually.

"You know ... you are so unromantic..." he said huskily.

"Thanks... anything else?"

"Nothing...will see you in the evening."

He left RM thinking about the Mehandi ritual.

The ritual started.

Ratna's few close friends were invited. From Garima's side, she invited a very few including Sara. All the ladies started applying Mehandi on their palms. Ratna had chosen a design for Khushi. The design contained the Groom and Bride's name. Ratna asked the beautician to apply it on Khushi's palm.

"Khushi beta, do you like this design?" she asked before the beautician started.

"Yes, aunty, I like it..."

"Write groom and bride's name in a grand font," Ratna said looking at the beautician.

She nodded ok. Khushi sat down, extending her palm towards the beautician. Khushi's hands got filled with a beautiful design of Mehandi. The highlight of her Mehandi was Arnav and Khushi's name.

When people started dancing, Khushi came to Ratna.

"Aunty, I need your help."

"Anything for you..."

"I want you to stand with me for a while."

"This is what HELP?" She chuckled.

"Yes, aunty, I'm going to talk to Dadi..."

"Whaaat!" she widened her eyes.

"Yeah... "

"What if she finds out?"

"That's why I want you to be with me. Then she won't suspect."

"Ok... but what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to talk to her through Bluetooth, pretending like, I'm talking to you."

Ratna let out a deep breath.

"Ok..."

Khushi made Ratna stand, facing her back to Subhadra. She stood looking at Ratna and she dialed Subhadra's number. Khushi was curious as this is the first time she is going to see Subi baby's facial reaction. As she expected, Subhadra gritted her teeth irritatingly, seeing her number. She attended it.

"What now...? Why do you call me?"

"What question is this Subi? There is no time limitation for us to talk... I have all the rights to call you..."

"Tell me the matter..."

"You look so HOT..."

"Whaaaat?"

"If you look like this at this age then how would you be at the young age...?"

"How do you how I'm looking?"

"You will get shocked if I say that"

"Tell me..."

"I'm in your house only... looking at your sweaty face..."

"Whhhhaaaatttt!"

She ran her eyes on the people one by one. No one was there to be suspected. Our Khushi was talking to Ratna, showing her Mehandi. She looked at Subhadra from the corner of her eyes and bit her lip.

"Where are you?" Subhadra asked.

"I said I'm here..." Khushi said, looking at Ratna's palm.

Subhadra disconnected the call and called security.

"Securityyyyy"

They rushed inside RM.

"Yes, Maji...?"

"Close the door... no one should go out of RM until I catch the woman."

"Woman? About whom you are talking?" Ratna asked making face.

"Someone threatened me through phone... she is here only..."

"Really?"

"Yes... Security, check all of their bags and purses..."

"Why are you doing this Subhadraji?" A lady from the crowd asked.

"All of you are going to talk to me through your phone... I won't leave the evil woman today... come on do it... Security, make them call me one by one... I will recognize the voice of the person."

"But Maji..."

"Ratna... you don't say anything... ask Khushi and Garima to go to their room..." she yelled.

"Khushi beta, go to your room with Amma." She said controlling her laughter.

Khushi nodded ok innocently and went to their room with Garima.

To be continued...

The next update is available on Inkitt

Message

Subhadra spoke to everyone through the phone and tried to recognize the voice of the person who is torturing her. But nope...

She couldn't get the person and her act worked in reverse. Her action disappointed the guests. Dissatisfaction was visible on their faces as they felt insulted.

"This is why you invited us, Ratnaji?" A lady questioned her.
