Chapter 42: A fear to get separated

''What are you looking at me like that..why you have been so careless..who told you to come to office and played with your health..Answer me?'' She raised her voice. He tried to explain but she shut his mouth by her finger.

''Not for yourself think about me..second time you took my breathe away. He took his hand to wipe her tears but she pushed his hand off angrily. He got up and tried to calm her but she jerk him furiously.

I am not going to melt..you will get the punishment for messing with your life..'' He scrunched his eyebrow suspecting her intention and before he could react she slammed his mouth roughly making his body rooted. She pushed him toward her with all the force furiously and her mouth was thrusting inside him tasting each and every bit of it. She enclosed her arms around his muscular back and began running her hand around his back. He pushed her hand off to pull apart but she won't let him to move a bit. Right now her anger overpower her senses completely and she wanted to show him at which extend she can go into his love.

''How could you do this * kiss* you have no right to play with your health * kiss * I won't spare you'' * Kiss*. Khushi flickered her eyes across his face and put her hand into his hair in a tight punch and darted her tongue deeper and deeper. She bite him senselessly. Arnav was still fighting for himself when he felt her finger on his nape pulling him closer. Her love was weakening him. He prayed for both of them. He was not sure if he should let her do whatever she want and stop it right here. He cannot decipher anything at one moment she pushed him away and another moment pour all her love into him.

He felt her lips stop moving and sense wetness on his skin. He looked up and saw tears rolling down her cheeks and it streaming on his cheeks. He uncontrollably hugged her. Both held into each other, feeling their bodies craving for one another. Atlas some consolation was given through his embrace and she felt soothing. Her heart quickening in anticipation. His hand gripping her body. She keep staring him with raw madness in her eyes. Gauging her expression, he sat in front of her on his knees in the same position with hers. His hand move to touch her cheeks with his index finger and she closed her eyes when he lovingly wipe those shimmering tears from her eyes.

''Khushi..?'' He said in a little concern and she began sobbing more and more putting her head on his chest.

''I m sorry I will take care of myself from now...I promise..'' He said with honestly. Their eyes were locked and the shear voltage couldn't ignored. Her whole body trembled by his innocent touch. Her cheeks flushed. He was going to say something that could have melt her when they hear someone clearing throat. He looked away and then at the door straightening himself where his secretary, sheena was standing witnessing them in compromise position. She is the same girl who was giving current information about both of them to lavanya.

''Sir..woh..Mr mehta..he came for the meeting!'' He nodded and she left bewildered to gave lavanya their spicy news. The moment she heard it, her temper arise.
                                                            *******

Arnav: ''Khushi what is this non sense, this is my office where I work, not our bedroom..'' He spat making her smile cheekily.

Khushi: ''Really Mr raizada! so you have no problem if I touch you in our bedroom. She seductively put her arm around his neck and trace her finger. Pushing the same hand behind her waist, he looked her angrily.

Arnav: ''Stop this non sense khushi..you and me both know very well this marriage is just for the sake of dhruv and anjali so don't come near me and make it difficult for both of us it will hurt you afterwards..I m your boss and you are my model..nothing more or nothing less so don't you dare cross your limits..'' Saying this he walked off leaving behind puzzled khushi.

''Oh lord..its getting so difficult to woo this laadgovernor..don't know what to do..neither I can come close to him nor keep myself away from him, his anger always stick to his nose..'' She pouted and throw her hand in air frustrated and escort to her cabin when her cell rang showing the same private number. She narrowed her eyes and pondered before picking up.

''You bitch I told you to stay away from Asr but you cheated me, seems you need a good lesson..now you will see with your own eyes the destruction of your family members..''

She shook her head in fear and the phone been disconnected from other end before she defend herself.

                                            *****

Holding her swollen belly, Aditi stepped down and Anjali guide her toward hall. She call Hp and he bring her suitcase down.

Anjali: ''Di you should stay here for some days more..i mean in this condition how will you travel..think once again..''

Aditi: ''Its okay I will manage anjali..don't worry..''

Anjali: ''But atleast wait for some hours khushi bhabhi is in office once she will be back..you..'' Been interrupted.

Aditi: ''No I can't delay otherwise I will miss the train and besides karan need me there, first time after marriage we are away from each other for long..due to khushi insistence I agree to stay along for some days in karan absence but now he is back from office tour I have to go..''

Anjali: ''So my dear aditi di missing your hubby? You both are so much in love..how sweet..'' Aditi blushed.

Aditi:  I will miss you everyone..the time I spend here hold a very special memories in my heart..khushi is so lucky to have such a wonderful in laws..'' She smiled.

Anjali: '' Take care of yourself and my little master..i wished you would be able to attend my wedding..'' She sighed sadly. Both share a bone crushing hug before moving apart.

Aditi eyes moistened getting unconditional love from this family. She bid adieu to them before moving out.

Couple of hours passed but there is no news of aditi. Anjali is pacing in the room getting worried. Aditi have told her once she reached home she will inform her and by now train must had arrived pune. She even call karan jiju but his phone is out of reach. Her anxiousness was increasing by every passing second.

Sumitra: ''Anjali betiya why you are taking tension she must have reached home safely..''

Anjali: ''I told her many times to stay here, don't go but she was so adamant to go and did not listen to me..i hope she has reached safely..'' She was getting anxious.

Sumitra: ''Rang to khushi betiya, may be she knew any other contact number of karan by which we can contact her..'' she nodded her head and picked her mobile to dial her number when the land-line started ringing.

Sumitra: ''Aditi ka hi hoga..'' (It might be aditi call) Anjali smiled contently heaving a sigh of relief and instantly ran downstairs to receive the phone.

Anjali: ''Hello aditi di-..?'' Her smile faded and she get terrified. Blood drained from her face by what she heard it and the phone slipped from her hand.

Sumitra: ''What happened? Aditi ka hi phone tha na?'' Seeing her not responding, sumitra shake her to bring her back to normal. She looked at her tearfully.

Anjali: ''Mumma..Aditi di met with an accident..'' She closed her mouth in shocked and inch back. Shock would be understatement for both of them.

Sumitra: And her baby..? she asked.

Anjali: ''Don't know inspector got this number from her mobile they saying she is in very critical state and admitted in hospital..''

*****

Khushi entered into her cabin absent minded. The news of aditi miscarriage and her husband karan's death was a biggest blow to her. She get completely broken and made herself responsible for her misery.

*Flashback*

Aditi had reached railways station safely. Smile were not leaving her lips to meet her husband, to hold him in her arms. She missed his talking, his warmth, their talking to their baby. She was getting curious to reach her hometown. Her mobile started ringing and she pressed the green button only to receive a call from her husband's colleague, Rakesh. The moment she received the news, She get motionless. Her entire world shattered into pieces when she heard someone shot him. She cannot comprehend how to react. She get completely numb for a couple of moments. Some people was looking at her strangely going here and there. After a while she got up and screamed on the top of her lungs crying her heart out. 

Karan!!!!! She was crying bitterly. She compose herself after sometime and rang to khushi but her phone waa busy.

Aditi wanted to found out who killed her husband. Her every doubt pointing toward one person that is NK. He wanted to have her and for that he won't think twice before putting her husband into danger even if he share any blood relation with Arnav. That means did he? He took his revenge by killing him! Her eyes turned red in anger and vengeance. He is the only one who wanted to destroyed her life and finally succeeded. She got up pushing her tears off her cheeks roughly and decided to put him behind the jail and ran speedily down the stairs to go out of the station to file murder case against NK in police station when her leg slipped and she fell down from the stairs. Few men took her to the hospital and later-on police got her mobile and inform at raizada mansion about her accident.

Anjali rang khushi and tell her about Aditi's accident. She hurriedly reached in hospital only to get the horrible death news of two souls-one is karan and other is her unborn who died in her stomach. Aditi get completely distort and traumatized. She anyhow get saved but breathing like a dead body. She was unable to even a single word. Doctor inquire them she was suffering from mental trauma and it will take her time to heal her wounds and to come out from shock. He advise them to keep her happy as much as possible. Khushi cried and retreat back to office to inform arnav when she got a call.

Blackmailer: ''So was the trailor, khushi!'' He asked smugly.

Khushi: ''So its you who killed karan?'' She clenched her fist.

Person: ''Till now you can imagine at what extend I can go to achieve my goal..you will not realize when and how I will send one by one all your dearest in a same place like your lovely cousin sister..'' Painful tears spilled down her cheeks.

Khushi: ''What do you want? Why you killed karan jiju? What aditi had done that you ruined an innocent girl's life..if you have problem with me then kill me right away..what are you waiting for..'' he laughed.

Blackmailer: ''Khushi..khushi..khushi..relax..calm down..anger is the biggest enemy of any human being so don't use it, the consequence won't be good for you, sweetheart..'' he replied carelessly.

Khushi: ''Just shut up you bas****..bloody murderer I won't spare you!!!!!!'' She roared.

Blackmailer: ''Relax babes...your screaming won't bring back karan or your sister's happiness. Why you are being so stubborn..if you will have agreed my demand then this wouldn't had happen... just leave asr and matter will finished what's a big deal in that..'' She shook her head in denial.

What does that man think of himself? I can't show him that I am scared. She decided. Suppressing her fear, she gathered as much as courage as she could so that her voice didn't crack or stammer.

Khushi: ''You can't force me to leave my husband. Just go to hell and leave me in peace..''

Blackmailer: Ohh is that so! After seeing so much destruction you still need a second lesson..okay no problem as you wish I will send that mms to your sweet bhai and you know what I don't need to kill asr..your brother do that honor on behalf of mine..'' She get terrified to death.

Khushi: ''No please don't do anything..'' she pleaded for some mercy and ran a frustrated hand through her hairs.

Blackmailer: i told you to stay away from asr but you double crossed me and went to Asr cabin..'' She looked on shocked wondering how he know every single detail about her and arnav relationship? Did anyone saw them together or someone involved from Ar office? Her mind was running speedily. By getting numbness from other end, he broke the silence.

Blackmailer: ''Baby don't stress your pea size brain much..do what I am saying like a good girl otherwise next time in place of aditi your husband would be in hospital suffering and no one able to save him this time..'' She shrieked.

Khushi: ''No please don't do anything to my husband..i will do whatever you say but please don't harm him..'' Her heart swallowed.

Blackmailer: ''That's better! I will gave you one last chance to prove yourself... you have one day to make Asr sign on those divorce papers and by tomorrow you are supposed to leave the raizada mansion and then never ever show your filthy face to him..i want him to hate you tremendously..prove yourself characterless or do whatever you want but i want you to be out of his life as soon as possible..'' Her eyes grew wider and she began shaking.

Khushi: Only one day? No that's not possible!  Gave me few more days for god sake.. believe me I won't go near him and make his sign done sooner..'' He looked at lavanya and she gave an evil laugh and signal him in sign language to go ahead.

Blackmailer: ''Okay done you have 5 days to complete your task but do remember one thing if you dare to tell anything to asr or failed to make his sign done then you know very well what will happen next..'' The phone get hung up.

She felt on her knees helpless and so many tears rolled down her cheeks. She compose herself and went and requested anjali not to reveal anything to arnav about aditi condition for time being knowing about his health condition. She nodded in understanding.
Her mobile beep and she headed toward office and tried acting normal hiding her grief and sorrow from everyone.

Khushi stepped inside her cabin absent minded thinking about that blackmailer when she saw Arjun approaching her holding a piece of paper in his hand. She get panic and quickly snatched it from his hand remembering she left that divorce paper when arnav get fainted.

Khushi: ''What is hell is this arjun..who gave you right to touch my personal things? Stop poking your nose in my personal life..get out!!'' She burst all her anger and frustration on him.

Arjun: ''I have no such intentions to do that but I am glad I have seen it before anyone caught it..i thought you love arnav but this divorce papers..are you divorcing arnav? What is going on, khushi?'' He asked politely.

She don't say anything but remain silent suppressing herself from breaking down. Till yet she didn't let anyone know about all mishaps and stay strong. One by one problems surrounded by her and she is fighting it all alone. Whenever she thought she was heading to get her happiness at the right moment all her dreams get shattered. Firstly arnav came into her life as her prince and gave her lots of love and showed her how much he care for her. He made her feel she is the most special girl in his life. She started loving him and began dreaming her happiest life ahead in togetherness but in a very next moment he broke all her delusion and went back to his gulit trip saying she meant nothing to him and pushed herself away from him and now when she try to attempt everything better god knows from where that unknown person came and goaded her to leave him. She was dying from inside. She was cursing her fate and make herself responsible for aditi's condition.

Her gaze turned toward arjun who was looking at her from sometime and she stare at arjun plainly. He blink his eyes in assurance.

Khushi: ''Just be there with me, just be there..'' Arjun placed his hand on hers. He might have guess something is bothering her terribly and knowing how much she love her husband then what had happened that she took this step and signed those papers. She was unable to share about all the chaos happening to anyone.

She bite her inner cheeks and look away to hide her teary eyes. She somehow managed to suppress her tears. He was doing exactly what she had said. He took her hand and made her sit in the chair and give her a plane glass of water.

''I m so bad..i always been so mean to you.. I used you for my own benefits but you always stood beside me being a true friend..you always know I can never love still you love me back without any expectation..how could someone so good? i m sorry Arjun..i never intent to broke your heart..'' She broke down in tears. He hugged her supporting her and she pour out all her pain.

''I felt so weak..i don't know what to do..i don't want to loose arnav..please help me out..please help me..i love him..i can't live without him..'' He sooth her.

Arjun: ''Khushi what's wrong tell me..may be I shall help you..?'' She open her mouth to say but aditi face came in front of her eyes and she stopped fearfully by closing her eyes tight. He careless her back and put her palm on his head to tell him entire truth.

On the other hand Arnav saw her being so close to arjun from conference hall felt a thousands of needles pricking his heart and he dashed off furiously.

Khushi started narrated briefly everything to arjun about their contract marriage, her acceptance, his refusal and saying to marry him and then that blackmailing call. Suddenly he started laughing and fell down holding his stomach. Khushi get pleasantly surprise by his sudden change and frowned and hold his neck angrily.

Khushi: ''What is this funny arjun..here I m in big mess and you are laughing like a maniac...why are you laughing, you idiot donkey..just stop it otherwise I will broke your nose..'' He placed his finger to stop his smile but can't help it. That's it she lost her sanity and gave him a hard punch on his face.

Arjun: ''Ahhh..you wild cat..leave me..'' but she didn't stop and started throwing everything from the desk on his poor face. He show her his innocent puppy dog face and she stopped and got up frustratingly.

Khushi: No one can understand how I m feeling..I feel like crying and here instead of giving any solution you are laughing at my state..'' she was fought back in tears. He slapped her head stupendously and she look back at him.

Arjun: ''You are fool khushi, someone came from somewhere and tell you to leave arnav and you decided to leave him..Is this what you called as love?'' he mocked her.

Khushi: ''So what should I do? I m helpless if I deny then he will kill my Arnav..''

Arjun: ''I can't believe you are saying all this..are you really get scared of those useless threatening, a girl who never give damn to anyone and learnt how to keep her head high in front of society, apart of all those suffering was saying something like that? If they really wanted to harm him he won't try to use you..by now I notice one thing your's and arnav relation was a biggest threat to them so don't you dare think to leave him.. let me handle this blackmailer I will found out who is leaking out information to them... you only concentrate on arnav and think how to get him back..you have very less time to get him back..do something for him so that he never think in his dream to leave his wife and don't you do anything stupid..yah?'' She nodded feeling little light after blunting out everything to her well wisher. He tore the paper and throw it on the dustbin.

Khushi: ''What you did! If that blackmailer came to know I told you all this, he will..'' He smiled.

Arjun(Cupping her cheeks):  ''He can't do anything..main hu na..'' She nodded and smile broadly.

Khushi: ''Thank you arjun..you are a sweetheart..i love you muahh..'' She kissed his cheeks in excitement and he blushed and rolled down on the floor touching his cheeks with his face turning pinkish.

''You kissed me?'' He drool over her.

''Buddhu kahika..'' (Mad guy) She giggled and hit his ass making him cry like a baby.

Three days passed but nothing changed between arnav and khushi. Khushi tried hard to be with arnav but he keep distance from her. Very rarely he visit home and one must have say he stop coming home specially at nights as he not wanted any closeness from her side. He keep engrossed himself at work as much as possible. The images of khushi and arjun in hugging position hurting him terribly. He console himself and thought its good khushi is coming close to Arjun, moving on and forgetting him. He even started ignoring khushi calls and shut himself off completely from all. It's affecting his health but he don't care of himself anymore. He lost all hope in life. He is breathing but his sole is died.

Khushi noticed his plight and tried many times to confront him but he keep himself busy in work. She is worried now. Over the next few days khushi started to observe arnav's behavior toward her, something that is holding him to express it in words. She was extremely shocked by his changed behavior. Whenever she asked him to come home he shout and rudely behave with her. He get irritated on small things and finding reason to fight with her. She knew it is still buried inside him. Its getting unbearable to tolerate it now. Arnav had been little distant from her. That passionate way that he had always looked at her had been dimmed somehow and had replaced in pain. However, Arjun keep on boosting her moral whenever she give up unaware to them arnav look all this in different angle and misunderstand their friendship as love. Moreover, she had made up her mind and decided if he is stubborn then she is more stubborn than him. She wanted her husband love and get it either by hook or crook and for that she know what she had to do next.

Khushi opened her eyes as the morning rays lit on her face. She looked around and realized arnav was not come home last night once again. She get up with sad face and quickly freshen up and made a quick prayer with devimaiyya. Once done, she picked up he mobile and went to rang her khadoos and arrogant husband.

Dialing her husband number, khushi waited for his reply with a small smile adoring her lips.

''Arnav I need to talk to you..its urgent!'' .

''Khushi not now..i m very busy with client talk to you later..'' Saying this he cut the call.  She made a O-shape with her mouth.

''Phone kat diya..Khushi kumari gupta singh raizada ka? How dare he? She snarled and got up from her seat looking at the time.

Khushi climbing the stairs like tufani express and bang the door shut angrily. She glare at him like a lioness which is going to snap his face anytime. He was taken aback by her sudden arrival and then again shifted himself into work as if she won't exist. It hurts her. Putting her hand on her hips, she nudged in-front of him. He look back into her eyes disinterested.

''You think..you are smart, aren't you? How dare you cut my call..'' She shouted pulling his collar. He shoved her hand off him.

''Listen Arnav singh raizada.. you can't treat me like that always..i m your wife dammit..''

''Only for few days..'' he retorted. She rolled her eyes.

''Yah that's what I wanted to talk to you regarding this marriage deal..''

''Deal?'' He scanned his eyes.

''Yes deal..i m fed up with you and as you are hell bend to bound me to Arjun so for that I have bring one proposal for you!'' He folded his arms waiting for her to proceed.

''I m ready to marry arjun but..'' He was not surprise by her this decision assuming she might have started liking Arjun.

''But what?'' He asked disinterested.

''But in return I want something..'' He have no idea what plan was running in her sharp brain or what she is going to ask.

''You want my property? He raised his eyebrow.

''No! I want to make baby with you..make me pregnant before I married to arjun..'' His leg rooted on the ground and he stood up quickly. Khushi looked back into his eyes sheepishly who was standing numb.

''Have you lost it? He barked putting the files on the desk hastily. She smirked and used his tie to pulled him near her so quickly that he came crashing on her upper body. Cupping his face with her hands, she looked at him with desire.

''Let's start from tonight, honey..i can't wait you and me under..'' she spoke in a whisper tone and seductively placed her hand around his neck and snuggled his chest. She smacked a warm kiss on his cheek. He closed his eyes and fist his palm.

''Stop it khushi..it won't work..'' He jerk her off.

''Uhh..We have very less time together so  I m wondering to start from tonight. I wanted to conceive quickly..'' he can't believe her childishness of getting a baby and walked off getting highly pissed off.

''I will see till how long you run away from your feelings, my darling husband..the game is just begun..'' She blow the flying kiss.

                                     *******
At night:

Mr Raizada..where are you? Your wife is waiting for you eagerly..'' she asked curiously blowing her nails. He get annoyed by her non sense.

''It is not good to make your wife wait for long..remember our deal today is our suhaag-raat..'' She shyly reminded him making him frowned.

''Then keep waiting because I m not interested to entertain you..'' He was about to cut the call when she protested.

''No problem..if you are not coming then I will fulfill dadi wish to get a baby from someone else..''

''Dadi wish? What the hell..stop this baby drama!'' He greeted his teeth.

''This is not drama i m damn serious if by 20 minutes you won't be available in my bedroom I will call arjun and he can give me a baby and you know what he loved me more than you.. he won't reject my demand..good bye..''  She smirked .The call ended as fast as it started. 

''Hum jante hain arnav aap hume kisi aur ke saath bardash nahi kar sakhte..apki yahi kamjori aj raat hamari takat banega..'' (I know you cannot see me with someone else..your this weakness would become my biggest weapon today night..)

Precap: ''khushi yeh tum..''Before he say a word, there is a sudden gravity pull by her and he fell down on the bed with her on top of him.

''Shh.. baatein kaam kaam jyada..'' (Talk less, work more) He stare her in shocked state and before he do anything to stop her assault, she attacked him and began placing uncountable hot and hungry kisses all over his face with her hand interlocked with his firmly.
