Part5

Next day morning.

Khushi stretched in her sleep without opening her eyes and felt her body was being arrested. She opened her eyes and appalled seeing her husband was hugging her by one hand and another one was for supporting his head. He was looking at her teasingly. She couldn't come out of his clutch.

Arnav: Good morning.

Khushi(looking at somewhere): Leave me...

Arnav(smilingly): I didn't marry you to leave.

Khushi: please leave me...

Arnav: why? You are my wife, right?

Khushi: you are making me embarrassed.

Arnav: you too, but in the opposite way. I want to be with you and you want to go away from me. it's hell embarrassing Khushi. ( he said calmly)

Khushi: I..i.. need time. (she stammered)

Arnav: Ohh, then say it looking at me.

Khushi: leave me.

Arnav: No, I won't leave you until you see my face.

Khushi(slowly turning her face and looking at him): leave me.

Arnav: with the smile. ( he said smilingly)

Khushi(sighed and taking a few seconds to compose herself): leave me. She said with an artificial smile.

Arnav: you look so good when smiles even if it is an artificial one.

Saying he released her and she hurried to the washroom. When Khushi came out Arnav started following her closely wherever she goes which irritated her to the core.

Khushi(frowning): what?

Arnav: Nothing. (he said like really he did nothing)

Khushi: why are you following me like this?

Arnav: I just am roaming in my room. That's all.

Khushi: You are disturbing me.

Arnav: Did I touch you? Did I talk to you? No right? Then why are you feeling disturbed?

Khushi was speechless. What the hell questions were these? She went from there without saying anything followed by Arnav. He followed her till the kitchen and stopped seeing his mother there. He pleaded Ratna by joining his hands to leave for sometimes. At first, Ratna glared at him and seeing his pleading face,

Ratna(looking at Khushi): I will just come giving coffee to Arvind.

Khushi nodded ok and Ratna left the kitchen while showing her index finger to Arnav in a warning manner. Arnav winked at her. He came and stood behind Khushi without touching her but giving the feeling that he was standing very close to her.

She stood there like an immovable statue. He kept his hands on the kitchen slab arresting her in between. She slightly moved close to the slab and Arnav did the same. He blew on her neck and Khushi closed her eyes tightly. He gently tucked her hair behind her ear and in no time kissed her cheek. Khushi jerked and turned towards him.

Arnav: How much effort is needed just to make you turn towards me. ( he said huskily)

Khushi: Anyone may come.

Arnav(cocking his eyebrows): Oh really? Then come to our room. (he started dragging her by holding her hands)

Khushi: please leave me.

Arnav(turning towards her): Don't say it again and again. I won't leave you. EVER. Understood? (he said little seriously)

Khushi gulped her uneasiness. That's when they heard Ratna calling for HP. She purposely did that to indicate them her arrival. Arnav went out leaving Khushi's hand but not without kissing her knuckle. Khushi pulled her hand and wiped it with her saree which ended Arnav smiling.

Ratna was watching Khushi since she entered into the kitchen. She knows that Khushi can't stand with Arnav's mischievousness which she was witnessing after his marriage. She thought to speak with Khushi.

Ratna: Khushi, are you all right?

Khushi: Ji Aunty.

Ratna: Beta I know how it feels when we enter into a new phase of life. Everything feels like new. It is. We should make up ourselves to face it. Be strong. Don't get scared. Chotte likes you so much. He will understand if you share your views in a correct way. Instead of going against him, try to drag him to your point. Everything will be alright. Hope you understand.

Khushi felt relaxed. She was really pleased by Ratna. She was down to earth person. How many girls could get such a wonderful Mother-in-law, who wants her Daughter-in-law gets attached to her son? Khushi felt happy to get an understanding person as her mother in law.

Ratna could feel Khushi's relaxation. She too felt happy. But she doesn't know that she unknowingly showed a path to Khushi which was going totally opposite to Arnav. Khushi will use the point which she got from Ratna. Not to get attached with Arnav but to get separated from him.

Khushi made herself ready to talk to Arnav. Yes, she should talk to him before it's late.

Khushi never wanted to get married. She hates marriage and MEN because of her own father and brother. They were never loyal to their wives. They were illegally connected with many women which hurt Garima and Anjali. But Shashi and Shyam have never regretted it. Since she become a MISANDRIST.

She brought up seeing her mother crying and cursing herself. When she was in college she stopped talking with Shashi as well as Shyam when she comes to know that he was not less than her father. She started hating them when Shyam's marriage was fixed with Anjali. She herself went to Anjali's home and told them about Shyam but she comes to know that Anjali's parents were just fond of money more than their daughter's life. She felt pity for Anjali and got append with her. Her hatred towards MEN was increased day by day. She totally lost faith on them. She hated them from the bottom of her heart, especially HANDSOME MEN. They are always Egoistic. Haughty fellows. PRIDE undertakers. If ordinary men like her father and brother can go with many girls then what about GOOD LOOKING MEN? Not to forget, girls were ready to throw themselves on that person then how could they be PURE?

She stopped watching movies even though she like Salman khan. She got irritated when her friends went drooling over the film heroes. She was almost out of the GIRL KIND. She even stopped using mobile phone to avoid unnecessary chatting with her friends which would always end with MEN.

Shashi and Arvind fixed their marriage and tied them in a sacred relationship. Shashi knows Khushi's hatred towards men. He thought that Khushi will give in to Arnav's charms. But he doesn't know, that was the main reason she doesn't like Arnav because she witnessed it by her own eyes when he attends her collage function as a chief guest. The whole college was dying to get his one glimpse. Some girls were BETTING to TOUCH him. That time she didn't even know he was his father's friend's son. And adding to it her college girls voluntarily attend her marriage without invitation only to take photos and shook hands with Arnav which irritated her like hell. Can't deny, these girls are also the main reason for men's distraction.

She was restless when she comes to know that the same guy who is having a heavy demand in between girls was her fiancé. She cried, pleaded, begged nothing worked. Shashi was stern in his decision. He knew that he will never get such a great family because he afraid of his and his son's image may affect Khushi's life. He believed in Arvind and Ratna. Being a kind-hearted persons they will never hurt Khushi. More than that the whole world knows about ASR that if he gets into something than he will succeed in it by hook or by crook.

Shashi never let Garima met his friend's family before, because he don't want to get his image damaged as he knew very well that what will be "women's talks". That's why they didn't get a chance to mingle with each other.

Khushi was having her own reasons to deny while Arnav started growing his feelings towards Khushi. Even Arvind and Ratna didn't expect their son who never thought about his marriage could get attached to the girl like TWIN SOUL. He built a world where only he and Khushi could roam cheerfully. He was enjoying her each and every move like he took birth to do so unaware that she is on the way to destroy it.
