Part 15

After that cruel attack, Arnav didn't see Khushi in her cabin. She choose to stay at Sketch room for the whole day. The effect of the words on her heart uttered by Arnav didn't give courage to face him again. Whenever she thought that it was passing millions of lightening in her body.

She never knew, her name itself could make her weak one day. Not her name, her name which was uttered by a person. Her the way he uttered it. She couldn't come out of it. She tried her best to concentrate on work. But nothing worked.

His Husky voice, his expression, his tone, damn. Is it possible to make someone weaker just by saying some words? She was still shivering. She thought to have a coffee. She badly needed one. "Hot" one, to "cool" her mind. She went to the canteen and as usual, she took her coffee by her own from the coffee maker. She sat on the chair and started relishing it taking her own time. Some of AR staff were surprised to see her doing that. She was always in a hurry in the office hours like she was wearing skating shoes. Khushi too felt their gaze on her. She was not in the mood to think anyone right now. Let the staff think whatever they want.

She doesn't know beyond the staff someone was also watching her with concern. He was relaxed seeing her relaxing. A satisfactory smile covered Arnav's face. He doesn't know his simple words could make an impact in his wife's heart. He somewhere felt proud of himself. She is not that much tough If he could make her shake to this extent then.

It was his victory. Biggest victory. Making Khushi weak is not a simple thing. She never shows it openly unlike today. It was totally out of her control. He knew. A prideful smirk broke into his face.

Meantime, a Peon came to Khushi and handed the leave application. She hurriedly snatched that from his hand and dumbfounded seeing her husband's signature in it. Did he sanction her leave for one week? But how? Unpredictable. What is in his mind? Is he repenting for what he did with her? Really he sanctioned her leave? She felt relief. Her mind hopped in joy.

She knew it will be tough to implement her plan of extending her stay at her Mayka. It won't be tough as a Bahu but as AR staff. Her Boss Arnav Singh Raizada won't let it happen. Ten lakh? Her face lightened as she got an amazing idea. What about her Jewells? Who will ask her if she sell it? Yah she could settle ten lacks to quit the job. She sighed in relief.

Khushi(in mind): I will show you Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada, to whom you are messing with. I will see how you stop me. (she smiled thinking about her

In the evening, Khushi saw Arnav was waiting for her. She took her handbag and left to the car without looking at him. She was not ready to recall those moments which happened in his cabin. She couldn't resist thinking as if she looked at him. His one smirk will recollect everything again which she doesn't want.

Arnav didn't want to make her fuss as well. Today's quota was already overdosed. Khushi was planning her leave with her Mom and Bhabi on the way to her mayka . They reached GH and Arnav took Khushi's bag from the car and went inside followed by Khushi.

Guptas were happy to see them at their place. They were already informed by Ratna about Arshi's arrival. Garima treated them with tea and snacks. Arnav began chitchatting with them casually for some time without hesitation. Garima and Anjali were very much into his company. Within fifteen minutes he gathered every detail about them including their likes and dislikes. To mention, Khushi was not cared for by her people. It was Arnav who kept on dragging her into their conversation.

Anjali: Khushi, won't you show your room to Arnav?

Khushi was dumbfounded. This man won't miss the chance to flirt. It was like she herself scratching her head with if she takes him to her room. without missing a golden chance, Arnav stood and looked at Khushi gesturing her like "shall we?"

without any choice, she left to her room and Arnav followed her taking her bag. When they entered into her room Khushi was confused seeing another bag being kept there.

Khushi: whose bag is this?

Arnav(plainly): mine.

Khushi(shockingly): what? But why?

Arnav: why means? I might be your ADAM but I can't roam like Adam, wearing leaf made dress in my in-laws right? he said teasingly.

Khushi(gritting her teeth): I'm not asking that. For what you brought your things here?

Arnav(without expression): Don't I want my stuff when I stay in my in-laws?

Khushi looked at him with shock.

Khushi(with widening eyes): Are you... are you going to stay here?

Arnav(suppressing his smile): yah. with you.

Khushi: Don't you have any work then following me?

Arnav: What's more important than following my wife? You won't miss me. But I will miss my wife like hell. So I'm here... with my wife. RAM will be there, where his SEETHA is. (he said dramatically)

Khushi: I don't want you to stay here.

Arnav: But my mother in law wants me here.

Khushi: what the hell? I came here to spend with my Mom.

Arnav(cutting her): who stops you. You spent your time with your mom. I will spend my time with my DARLING. What say? Do you know how much my mother in law insisted me to come here? How could I deny her then? You missed your Mom. So you came here. I will miss my wife. So I also come here. Now, both of our problems are solved. (he said winking)

Khushi: You should have denied her.

Arnav: Why should I, when I want to be with you?

Khushi: Won't you let me live in peace at least for some days?

Arnav: Sure, if it is really for He stressed with his daggered gaze. Khushi gulped her uneasiness and switched her gaze to somewhere. Does he get to know her plan?

Arnav: Why are you silent? You speak a lot. Don't you? What happens now? (He drew her close to him) Running from me won't be a solution. Stop doing that Khushi. How much hard you try, my side is getting strong. You are the one who is making my side stronger unknowingly. (Khushi was gazing at him confusingly didn't get his point) because of your silly drama, I'm here now. Do you think after spending some days with me and understanding me, my in-laws will accept your decision of separation? Never. It's not necessary to exaggerate my character to impress them. It's more than enough to do it by being what really I'm. I have that capability and you knew it very well. Moreover, I will make everything into my favor if you try again. So think before doing.

Whatever he told was right. She gave him a chance to build a strong foundation to his relationship with her Mayka. Unknowingly. Khushi sat on her bed holding her head. She felt crying as her plan backfired.
