Chapter 30: Falling in love

Khushi was getting ready before mirror for next shoot. Wearing deep neck sleeveless gown, she was looking extremely gorgeous that would probably  enough to take anyone breathe away. Her hair was tied in a loose bun making some falls on her forehead and shoulder. She was adjusting her strap absent minded  and trying to concentrate on her work but arnav's thought was not leaving her in peace. Her mind was completely lost. She have no clue why she have shown trust on her husband despite of given proofs. It is simply displayed he had signed those papers and it is proved he stiill elope with lavanya and probably everything is is doing was all fake to trapped her then why she not believed her and tore that paper in front of everyone and make a stand for her husband. Did her heart softening for him?

Her mobile was glued on her ears and she was waiting for her husband to receive the call. The line was connecting but he is not receiving her call. How dare he missed my call? My call...I am his wife not any random model whom he always use and throw it away!! Her nose flare in anger by his avoidance. Wait a minute did she really named herself as his wife? She shook her head in denial. She feel something different calling him as her husband. What's wrong with her.

She brushed away every thoughts of him and began combing her hairs reluctantly. Since some days she was observing he was ignoring her. Why his neglecting nature bothering her so much that it make her vulnerable. Its good she didn't have to see his face that torment her and made her remember his every inglorious deeds. Furiously, She throw the brasher away and grabbed her head frustratingly and buried her head across her arms when she felt a warm breathe around her neckline and it id none other than arnav.

He was touching her bare back making her shrieked. She was getting breathless. He was placing kisses on her milky neck and going lower and lower while she was still in dilemma and wanted to push him away but her body rooted and not in the term to move. His hand now on her strap and he was sliding it down her shoulder exposing her milky skin. She immediately retaliated back and jerked him away.

Khushi: ''How dare you touch me, you monster!! She spat aggressively fixing her strap while her breast yet moving up and down. But he didn't stop and immediately pinned her down on the bed and looked at her intensely. She gasped exhaling a heavy breathe by his move. His eyes were dark and wanted to impulse her with his love. She tiled her head away fearfully he again hurt her. Their close proximity affecting her and it made her remember that night when he take her soul and made her ruthless.

Arnav: ''Khushi, don't be scare I never harm you..i genuinely regretting for everything I did..i am not a monster either..you made me crazy..i cannot stop myself loving you..i don't know what it is but a single moment without you was like ages..'' He spoke with lot of pain in his voice while rubbing her cheeks looking directly into her eyes. She saw a kind of sencerity in his eyes and was dying to melted in his raw passion.

Khushi: ''You are a monster I feel scared to come near you..it hurts arnav it really hurts..i already get betrayal in love and now I don't have strength to bear the same heart break. In the brief moment she saw him kissing her all over her chest.

Arnav: ''Show me your little trust, I will brought all happiness in your feet and never let any sorrow inflict you''. She eyes welled up and turned to other side and crying her heart out.

Khushi: ''I will never trust you..never! Whatever you did was not forgivable..i hate you samjhe tum ..I hate you.''  Grabbing her arms, he made her looked at him.

Arnav: ''But your eyes saying something-else...I can see it in your eyes you started trusting me.'' she shook her head in refusal and still adamant to accept her feelings. They are still laying in the bed.

Arnav: ''You don't want to..? He asked by placing her hand on her heartbeat but she shrugged him away.  Pushing her closer, he lean forward and place a moist kiss on her neck. He already accepted she should push him away but this time she snacked her arms around his shoulder. It really puzzled him. She whimper when his wet tongue lick her skin. He began placing soft kisses on her neck and shoulder.

Her whole body and skin was fabulous when she was beneath him. He don't feel like leaving him. He wanted her so much. He started to run finger on her arms while his mouth took her lips passionately. Khushi hissed in pleasure when she had been claimed by him. She wanted to push him away but didn't understand why she surrendering her soul to a man she used to hate. She feel heat oozing in her entire body. He never knew his simple touch having on her. Her heart was beating violently that anytime it would burst out. His tongue slide her mouth meeting her sensuously.  Khushi eyes were closed when she feel a soft hand touching her from behind.

Arjun: ''Khushi what you doing here standing like a statue? Next shot is ready and everybody is waiting for you..come on, lets go? She looked on bamboozled.

She was just imagining herself and Arnav. Arjun arched his eyebrow seeing her odd behavior. She didn't understand what he saying and what is going around her. She can't believe whatever they share was all dream. She get sadden unknowingly.

Did she that weak? Everything is going smoothly then why she is getting attracted toward him.

Arjun: ''Khushi, you okay? What's wrong, if you want you can take a day off''. He asked concernedly.

Khushi: ''Enough arnav!! Stop bothering me... just go away!!'' She literally yelled and then bite her lips realizing what she just uttered. Arjun sighed mischievously and a giggle escape his mouth. Her desperation to  get his one glimpse of arnav was clearly reflecting by her face. He open his mouth surprisingly making her  glared at him coldly.

Khushi: ''This is not funny!!'' She looked on annoyed and went to do touch up before dismissing from the green room.

Arjun: ''Missing arnav?'' He asked curiously in a teasing tone making her rooted.

Khushi: ''Shut up arjun..don't irritate me, I am no mood to fight right now so kindly leave me alone''. She spoke in unpleasant tone.

Arjun: ''I guess you take my message seriously..carry on babes..?'' She rolled her eyes. ''The way your love story progressing I guess sooner I would hear the news of your expecting''. He winked making her fumed. That's it she took the hair drier from behind and twisted her hand to attack him. He closed his eye shut fearfully and in next moment opening his one eye reluctantly. Drier rooted in the same spot and she laughed seeing him making face.

Arjun: ''Erhhwww.. you are too dangerous!! My heart almost come in my mouth..uff.. Are you planning to kill me? I am still an innocent bachelor and not wanted to die before marriage''. He pouted.

She gave him get lost look but he keep on blabbering and began pulled her legs. ''Poor arnav, how he manage this wild cat. God only protect him''.

Seeing her again building up in anger, he immediately ran away and she grinned. Sooner her smile faded remembering something. She took photo from the drawer.

Tears already blocked her vision with her heart arching in pain remembering the deepest wound. The pain of loosing her amma-babuji was still fresh in her mind and if she tried yet she can't able to forget. For a second thought she consider he used her to fulfill his lusty desire but why he killed her parents. What's their fault? Why he had punished them. She loved her amma-babuji so much and the thought of falling for their murderer make her feel disgusted and defeated.

Khushi: ''What is happening to me?  Gave me strength amma to fight against him. I don't wanted him to win me at any cost. I never fall for that monster who had killed you and made me orphan. He is an animal..i hate him from the bottom of my heart..make me strong so that I able to hate him..i don't wanted to feel anything for him.'' She  was consoling herself and storm off pushing her tears away roughly from her cheeks.

                               *******

Taking Anjali in his arms, he careless her. Dhruv was confused by her distraught condition. It creates doubts in his mind but he not wanted to make any conclusion before knowing the actual truth. Her whole body was trembling in fear. For some moment he see his gudiya in place of anjali. That day when his sister come home in disheveled condition, her condition was exactly similar. The way she was reacting he can see the pain in her eyes. He directly took anjali to his home from mall as he don't want to bother anyone seeing her state.

Her phone constantly ringing showing anjali's mother number. She was not in the state to entertain the call so dhruv pick it up. Making an excuse of work, he lied to sumitra and inform her she won't be available to come home tonight. Initially she tried to protest and then agreed. Sumitra trusted dhruv more than arnav and she know he would never do anything that will mark their face.

''Dhruv please save me...!'' was the only word she repeating. Anjali was not leaving his grip for a millisecond. Something have definitely happened that made her so scared. He have never seen her like that.

In one motion, he made her slip the milk while her hand remain glued on his collar and head resting on his shoulder. Listening her snoring softly, he made her lay on the bed by spreading duvet around her. Switching off the light, he got up to leave when she held his hand possessively near her heart.
Please don't leave me..he will destroy me..save me please..don't go''!

Engulfing her into her embrace, he console her by caressing her lovingly and lay beside her. She tucked her head on his chest and began crying continuously. He feel tucked in his heart. Making her turned, he make her lay on the soft pillow and turned away. He was trying hard to maintain a safer distance. Perhaps he agreed to sleep with her in same bed seeing her condition but he never cross the boundary. She held his neck with both arms and back hugged him. Touching his face, she urging him to looked back.

Anjali: ''Please stay close to me, I need you.'' Her body was still shivering. He curdle her into his arms grabbing her by waist and tried to console her.

Anjai: Dhruv, mujhe bacha lo vo mujhe barbad kardega''. (Please save me..he will ruin me.'') She hugged him tightly feeling afraid of  and kneaded herself entirely vanish her sorrow. Raising her chin, he made her look at him and cupped her cheeks.

Dhruv: ''Until I am alive I won't let anyone to harm you. Been interrupted.

Anjali: ''Shyam tried to force me 2 years ago'' She blunt out in one swift motion and fought for tears clamping her mouth to stiffen her sob. His eye widen in shock. Anger rose upon him and his blood boiled.

*******

At late night:

Arnav was getting worried for anju whereabouts checking his wrist watch again and again. Sumitra know how much he was possessive for his sister so she thought to hide about anjali staying with dhruv and lied she went to her friend birthday party and was residing with her for a night. Arnav looked on unconvinced and went off silently. On the other hand khushi began pacing her room with extreme temper and decided to confront for his cold behavior. Her eyes lit up in joy seeing him coming toward her. His eyes popped out knowing she was still awake. Without looking at her, he directly went inside and walked toward his wardrobe to took out clothes ignoring her. She flinched and grabbed his collar turning him around and pinned him in the nearby wall.

Khushi: ''Where the hell are you!! Is this a time to come home?'' She barked loudly. He waved her hand off.

Arnav: ''Kyu tumhe kya farak padta hain?'' (Why it is affecting you?) He passed question other than answering her. She remain silent making him turned. He went toward mirror and began loosening his collar and putting off his coat and blazer. She was getting frustrated.

Khushi: ''Listen Mr Arnav Singh Raizada, don't act smart with me..for next 10 days I am your wife so I have very much authority to know where my husband go and with whom he spend his quality time''. He was about to interrupt and she stopped him shoving her hand. ''Don't try to deny saying you are in office because I know you aren't.''

He felt amused by her authorized tone. Did she spying on him? Not bad..i like it!! He feel happy she is started naming herself as his wife and claiming her right upon him so he thought to tease her little more to see the intensity of her desperation. Hiding his smile behind the mask of his smirk, he made a serious face and turned to face her.

Arnav: ''Ok fine!! I went to meet with my client in restaurant and there I found my ex girlfriend, sheena''. She insisted to spend some time together and then we..'' Her eyes popped out knowing about it and she clenched her fist imagining him with any other girl.

Khushi: Then? She asked grabbed his collar angrily. Her eyes were all dark like venom coming out from her mouth.

Arnav: ''You really wanted to know?'' He asked in assurance because his next word probably shake her ground. She nodded straightly controlling her grief. He continued saying further and hold her hand.

Kissing her knuckles, he looked at her lot of love and affection. 'She took me to her home and then I held her like this..''  Snaking her arms around her waist, he pulled her closer with his hand interlocked with her and pushed it behind her back.

Arnav: ''She is so beautiful and pure I think I love her.'' Her heart stabbing thinking he did all this with another girl least she know he was talking about her. Neither today or later he can ever imagine about another girl when his each and every heartbeat belong to her.[Paused] ''More than anything else, I love her beautiful heart..she is so selfless...always think about others and always ready to sacrifice her own happiness for her loved ones. I love everything about her and if I try then also cannot get enough of adoring her. Her beautiful eyes, her smile, her soft pink cheeks, her melodious voice..i mean everything was so so special...I never seen a girl like her..I am mad about her''. Khushi tightened her jaws by his praise.

Khushi: ''Enough!!'' She raised her voice making him smile devilishly. She was clueless he was talking about her.

Arnav: ''What happen! Are you getting jealous?''.

Khushi: ''Excuse me why should I?'' She said casually and shot him to continue narrating every detail. But he remain numb by realizing she is getting serious but shook him angrily to proceed.

Khushi: Then? She asked curtly. Tears already blurred her vision. She didn't move nor restrain. It was getting intolerable knowing her husband complimenting another girl and they can be that close to each other.

Arnav: ''Then I remove her hairs off her neck and kissed her like this'' He began kissing her neck softly making her grabbed her dress in a steel grip. He was aware she was scared by his mere touch so he immediately moved off. Khushi get back to her senses and pushed him against his chest.

Khushi: ''So you had sex with her?'' She asked hurtfully making him jaw dropped. Was she really believed he can be that closer to an random girl? He feel bad making her sadden.

Arnav: ''What? I was just kidding khushi, I can't believe it you really take my words seriously.'' He grinned seeing her pale face. She groaned narrowing her eyes being fooled and cursed herself being affected by him.

Drastically, his next word touched her heart.'' There is only one women in my life and that is you..only you'' She looked at him intently and drowned into his eyes.
Ahem!! He cleared his throat making her brought back to her senses. She gulped drooling at him and turned urgently to move off when he held her hand.

Arnav: ''Where are you going khushi?'' He asked huskily blowing to her hairs. His warm breathe touched her skin. She was fidgeting her wrist to let go by his hold.

Khushi: ''Leave my hand arnav!!'' He can notice she was avoiding her gaze. He felt happy his avoidance to make her realize his importance were almost succeeded and now he will make her confess anyhow even though how much it will hurt her accepting her feelings but he will not let her go so easily. Her being insecure and hurt was enough proof to judge. She can't bear any other girl in his life. It put a ray of hope she also started liking him. Just once she confess her hidden feelings then their is only happiness in their life. He will not let any pain and sorrow to inflict her after that and love her immensely that she forget all the bitter memories of her past.

Arnav: ''Trying to hide from me, are you?'' He smirked turning her around. She tried walking away and he blocked her way.

Khushi: ''Why should I hide from you?'' She stammered looking away.

Arnav: ''Because every-time I come near you..something happen to you?'' He inched forward and she step back hitting the wall.

Khushi: ''Nothing happen to me'' She said in a slight string of anger.

Arnav: ''Really? So why you are sweating then, Mrs Raizada''. He trailed his hand on her face.

Khushi: ''I m not, let me go arnav''. He went even till she was a mere breathe away. He cupped her face and lean near the corner of her mouth and kissed it seductively. She shot an angry look and pushed him away. She angrily slapped him.

Khushi: ''How dare you touch me arnav, I warn you not to come near me..i hate you...I hate you''.  She began crying and ran off leaving dumb-stuck arnav.

Arnav: ''Khushi this slap proved how much hurt you are..you love me but the hurt is not allowing you to respond for my genuine love now..i promise you khushi from now on I will only come close to you when you are ready.''
