Part16

Without Khushi's Knowledge, Arnav arrived to Gupta house, Arnav reached here to keep his sweet tortures on her. She didn't think, the mighty ASR could give his quality time to his in-laws. Though she was irritated about his presence, on the other hand, she felt fine. He was an incomparable piece. But Khushi being Khushi, she won't admit it for sure, not so earlier at least.

Khushi: why didn't you say that you are also accompanying me?

Arnav(mockingly): As if we share everything? (Khushi rolled her eyes high.) I don't want to destroy your dream of enjoying your Mom's place.

Khushi(with the same mockery tone): Ohh really? That's why you demolish it totally like this?

Arnav: Not at all. Who knows? you might plot something to stop me if I would have told you before. Don't I know how cunning you are?

Khushi: As if you did nothing. (keeping her hand in her hip and shaking her head with widening eyes) Who is cunning here? It's you. How realistic your acting was? Arnav: what about you then? Don't I know how you dragged my mom to your side? Isn't that acting? My poor Mom didn't know about your skill. But you forgot that your CO-STAR is Arnav Singh Raizada. (He smirked)

Arnav's eyes fell on the PINK TEDDY, which was on the bed. He took it and kept it on his lap and started talking to it.

Arnav: I know how poor you were dude. It's not easy to handle a shrew, like my wife. (Khushi's jaw dropped) Don't worry I came here to save you from innumerous kicks. At nights she is kicking like we are some punching bags and in days she never misses the chance to kick by her talks. How poor we are. (he hugged caressing its head)

Khushi: Am I a shrew?

Arnav: Any doubt? You won't even listen to anyone and doing things in your own way. Then who you are? (again concentrating on Teddy) your case is much better, at least she misses you sometimes. But she is planning to kick me off her LIFE totally. She doesn't know it won't happen.( he said looking at Khushi)

Khushi knows that this message is directly for her. Khushi snatched the Teddy from his hands glaring at him.

Arnav(ignoring her glare): Khushi I need to take bath. Please bring some coffee.(saying he started removing his shirt)

Khushi(horrified): What are you doing? Go to the washroom and remove your shirt there.

Arnav: Why? I'm in my wife's room only right?

Khushi: Don't you have any shame?

Arnav: Shame? Where does it come from? In fact, no one is shameful here?

Khushi(with anger): What do you mean by NO ONE?

Arnav( in a relaxing manner): Tell me, what did your mother advised you about your first night? (Khushi's eyes popped out) she should have told you, "BE KIND" with Damadji. Right? Did she feel shame to say so?(she dropped her jaw. How did he know?)

They won't stop. Even before we complete one month of our marriage, they will ask, "ANY GOOD NEWS?" As if they taught EVERYTHING. (Khushi wanted to laugh out louder but she controlled biting her lips) They don't even know how their children in that matter are.(he chuckled) Don't they know how that "GOOD NEWS" can be given? Did they feel shame? BIG NO. No one is shameful here when it comes to HANSBAND and WIFE because everything is PERMITTED between them. From ages. NO SHAME. NO HESITATION. Right?

He dragged her while sitting on the bed.

Arnav(in enough husky tone): Mrs. Khushi Arnav stuff something better like this in your Brain. It will help you to reach your destination. "ME". Don't you feel pity for me? Can't you see my yearnings for you? I know you are not so immature to not understanding my emotions. Come to me Khushi. (he said looking deep into her eyes, really not feeling a bit shame)

Khushi(gulping hard): You are forcing me.

Arnav(with his lopsided smile): FORCE? Do you want to see, what is meant by Force?

Khushi tried to get out of his hold by pushing him. But he clutched her more tightly.

Arnav: If I want to force you then it's just a matter of TEN MINUTES. ( he smirked ) Do you think, you can stop me if I force you?

She wanted to say, I will kill you if you do so, but stopped thinking that "WHAT" will be his reply. She doesn't want to put herself in trouble again.

Arnav(smirking): you are thinking to kill me right? Then I have no problem. You can kill me.....

Before he continues those dialogues again, Khushi closed his mouth with her palm widening her eyes.

Khushi(hurriedly): stop. Don't you dare.

She said taking her palm off. He stopped her from doing that. He kept her palm in his cheek closing his eyes while kissing it. Khushi was trying to pull it off. But her efforts went ineffective.

Arnav: you can't pull off anything from my clutch Khushi, and when I'm very much into YOU. How much ever you try, my grip will get tighter. So stop doing things against my wish. Try to understand that.(he almost warned her) And I know, you won't kill me as well because you love me.

Khushi(sarcastically): Love ? and me? Hua...

Arnav: yes you are. Or else who could talk with the Shirtless man casually being so close to him?

Khushi: You are the one who is not leaving me. (she said while struggling)

Arnav: Ohh really? What if someone does the same with you? Won't you get out of his clutch by kicking him? I'm damn sure, you will. But you are not doing that with me, because you can't hurt me. Somewhere in your heart, I sat firmly Khushi.

Khushi was speechless. Yes, she will surely kick, if any other men try to touch her forget about being close. Yes, she is talking with him casually. With a shirtless man, without hesitation. What's the meaning of all this comfort? Is she falling for him? Arnav smiled seeing her confused state. He loosened his clutch. Khushi was still sitting there thinking.

Arnav: Khushi,(he called huskily) I left your hand.(he smiled) Go baby. Bring my coffee. Don't you think, I badly need one after giving you so much of a lecture?

 He tapped her cheek.

Khushi stood slowly and left to the Kitchen with her mixed-up mind to bring his coffee. Khushi saw Garima and Anjali was preparing snacks. Khushi laughed seeing flour on Anjali's cheek forgetting the talks with her husband.

Anjali: what so funny?

Khushi: It is.

She wiped her cheek While Anjali looked at her teasingly. Khushi asked her by cocking her eyebrows, "what". Anjali caught hold of Khushi's hand and smelled it. Khushi felt embarrassed.

Anjali: It doesn't smell like feminine. (Khushi thought that Arnav kept her hand in his cheek and kissed it.

Khushi(sighed): Bhabi...

Before she said anything Garima stopped her.

Garima: Khushi please don't say anything which will break our hope. Give us some happiness that at least you are happy with your husband. We know you didn't like this Marriage. But what about now? After being with Damatji, can't you change your ideas towards MEN? Life is not what you are thinking. It's very hard to get such a kind-hearted person. I'm still alive after facing much heartbreak just to see you happy Khushi. You will be the most unlucky person if you let it go without understanding its worth.

Anjali: Mom is right Khushi. You are blessed. If we ignore PURE LOVE once then we will never get it again. Please hold on Khushi.

Khushi hugged her hiding her tears thinking her WELL WISHERS utterance. It was not just an advice but their fear of their loveable girl's decision about her future. Khushi understood one thing that they will never allow her to get separated from her husband as Arnav said. They will stand beside Arnav in this matter for sure.
