Chapter 27: Plotting

''You know something Nk..you are a bas**** ''.

Her words still fresh in his mind and it piercing his anger like a volcano erupting into his blood veins.

Nk: ''You have done a big mistake ditching me..you can't imagine what I am going to do with you, just once I came to know where you're hiding..you cannot get rid off me so easily..i am coming to make you mine''. He smile bitterly in an unpleasant tone exhaling a sharp breathe and lie down in the lonely streets staring at her picture from valet.

Gulping few more shots, he resume walking in determination and began showing her picture to everyone that come in his way. All  were giving him disgusting look and ignore him by his drunken state. He was trying to find her since long two days but everything in vain. He was not a man to get mad by any random girl so easily but she is something different whose charm attracted him and without even realizing he fall in love with her but she cheated and disgrace his love  in front of everyone due to her sister. A girl whom he hates more than anything, that characterless khushi gupta, how dare she plan something like that. It irked him knowing she manipulate aditi against him and now she hates him and not wanted to see his face.  she crossed all limits by her awful act and now he would kill her so brutally that she cannot persuade in her wildest dreams. First time she get saved by his elder brother when he fails the brakes of her car henceforth. He made all arrangement to send her to their parents but she is not lucky enough to get protected every-time.  He clench his fist in a steel grip realizing she is the sole reason aditi not with him.

He was lost in her thoughts and began walking ruthlessly gripping alcohol bottle when some tapped his shoulder. He rose up in anger and jerked the hand away without caring about anything all he wanted currently is aditi, only aditi..nothing else matter to him. His mother called him numerous time but he not answering anyone's call and caged himself in finding her. From newspaper he get the information about his bhai's and khushi marriage. How cunningly she abandoned arnav in her plan and goaded him to marry but he not let her live so peacefully and punish her separating aditi from him.

Aditi became his addiction, his madness and he owe her. He were walking erratically enraging in uttermost anger and knowing about her being married overpowering his agony. His eyes get teary imagining her in someone else arms, her husband whom she claimed to love more than him. How spineless, no one can love her more than him.
He came back from reality by the impact of sudden voice and keep marching ahead but the person following him everywhere he is going. Without looking at the person he began walking tearfully with trembled feet holding bear bottle though he was getting difficult for walking yet he inching forward hopelessly when the next person snatched bottle from his hand and broke it apart. He get furious and open his mouth to yell but get stunned looking back.

All his hangout get drained seeing the next person in front of him with a wide grin grin on the face.

Nk: Tum??? He widen his eyes in shock state.

Nk: ''What the hell you doing here, lavanya?'' A sarcastic smile appear on her lips by scanning him up and down in such a miserable condition. How she wanted the same situation for arnav's also.. never mind that day also nearing and for that she have to convince this fool, she wondered under her breathe. Before she open her mouth to spat any comment, he grab her neck harshly.

Nk: ''Bahat hasi aa rahi hain?'' (Having fun?)

She tried to pull him away but seems he couldn't let her go so easily. she provoked him in wrong time that even her continuous pleading not affecting him. Gathering all strength she get succeeded in shrugging him away else he could surely ripped her every nerve with his bare hands.

Lavanya: ''Are you nuts..i am trying to help you but look like you are planning to kill me''. She coughed and compose herself while rubbing her neck trying to breathe.

Nk: ''Shut up just shut up...how dare you poke your nose in my personal matter, did you you forget how bhai have thrown you out from his office still you didn't stop your plotting games and vivacious cheap acts..get lost from my sight otherwise don't know what I would do''. He warned her in dangerous tone and turned to leave but listening her next sentence he stood still.

Lavanya: I know where is aditi? His face lit up hopelessly and he immediately snapped back turning behind in anticipation.

Nk: Where is she tell me right now? He asked curiously. By getting no response, he impatient and grabbed her shoulder shooking her. ''Answer me?'' He was loosing the sanity. ''Take my all property.. give me aditi.''

Lavnaya: Breathe nk...I will tell you where is she, but in return you have to do something for me..i don't want your property but something else? His jaw dropped. She not wanted property, a gold digger who is always behind his brother money now showing her disinterest, its quite undigested for anyone.

Nk: ''There is no question.. i will do anything for her'' She smirked by his authorized tone.

Lavanya: Are you sure? She demanded once again to confirm as she know her next word surely budge him. He nodded without knowing all he wanted to get her and she started narration with a smug smile on her face. He stepped back gradually in decipher and run a frustrated hand on his hairs getting stunned by her demand.

Nk: ''You bit** I would never let you win in your cheap acts..do you understand''. He walk past her neglecting her getting highly pissed off but stop rooted at his place by her next word.

Lavanya: ''Aditi is pregnant'' She said meekly and he increase the intensity of his glare. After a little when she again open her mouth to gave any more information about her when she get a hard slap. He closed his eyes controlling his rage and gave her tight slap on her face.

Nk: What crap,You are lieing..its not true and how you know her? Everything is beyond endurance. He can't believe by the information he is getting and hoping its not the truth.

''Mujhe thapad marne se sach badal nahi jayega..abhi bhi kuch nahi badla tum ab bhi usse apni baijati ka badla le sakhte ho usse uska bachha chinkar..usne tumhe barbad kiya ab tumhari baari hain.'' (Truth cannot changed by slapping me..there is still a hope you can revenge by snatching her baby..she ruined you and now its your turn.'') He glued at the spot aimlessly gazing at something for a long. She waited  for a  little while and stare him keenly folding her hand for his agreement.

''I am ready! ' He said with uncertainty and she curt a victorious smile thinking what future unfolds in arnav and khushi's destiny.

                               *******
Next morning:

Khushi went downstairs for breakfast as  requested by anjali, today was her first day as a newly wedded wife though it meant nothing to her  but for entire world she is named as Mr Arnav singh raizada. Everyone greeted her giving with lots of blessings and shagun. she completed last ritual of marriage by making halwa for everyone and some close relatives and guest also visited to see her as well. Despite she have no interest in all these these but she cannot hurt anjali and her mother in law by her cold behavior as they have no fault in her destroyer. They are innocent and she cannot made them suffer but  a person who is reason of everything went away so cleverly leaving her alone to face everything. Her temper flaring more rapidly as everyone asking in-numerous question about him as if she kidnapped him.

Khushi: How she know where he is? God knows, may be bedding some hot models and satisfying himself..its his daily routine, there is nothing new, before that he is doing that only but more pathetic is that his family member have no clue about his cruel
deeds, what he was doing behind their back. She sighed hysterically. She can't imagine what will happen when his sister came to know about his deeds. The person whom she worship him like idol was a monster  in reality, who committed lot of crimes...disgusting persona. He don't deserve being a human..he is a killer..i hate him. She was trying hard not to show her misery to anyone and smile reluctantly touching every ones feets one by one.

She gaze at the direction of window and then looked back at the tensed face of anjali and sumitra as they were continuously trying his number but all in vain.

Khushi: ''He is such a coward selfish man, not even care about his family reputation''. She flinched murmuring in her breathe walking toward main door but suddenly jerked out of skin by the voice echoing on her ears and it didn't took her time to guess who it could be.

Arnav: ''Itne pyaar se yaad karogi toh koi pagal hi tumse dur jayega'' (If you remember me so deeply then any mad go away from you.) He whispered in her ears in a seductive way. She charged him.

Khushi: ''Where the hell were you? She barked in a loud tone but hurriedly slow down, noticing everyone eye upon them and manage to smile weakly. Her voice is reflecting how much she cared about his family knowing what he did yet she trying to accept them. ''Hello i am talking to you?'' She looked on amused as he again started his staring session.

Arnav: ''Concerned about me?'' He asked hopefully raising question upon question.

Khushi: ''Concern my foot'' She rolled her eyes and joined the guests.

Anjali: ''Yeh kya khusar pusar chal rahi thi, hame bhi toh batayiye?'' (What you guys bitching, let me know? She giggled stepping toward him but his eyes fixed upon his khushi who is busy in pleasing his relatives.

Anjali: ''Bhaiya where were you gone..we were so worried ?'' She mumbled continuously and shoved her fingers to bring him out of trace.

She pouted annoyingly knowing he is not paying any heed on her but deep inside she is happy seeing so much love in his eyes. She always believe someone made him fall deeply but never thought her wish fulfill so soon just after his marriage as she was not sure whether he accept khushi or not knowing about her past but now she feels proud getting world's best brother who not only respect women but value them with equal gratitude. She feel relieve choosing dhruv's sister as her bhabhi.

On the other hand arnav's eyed khushi with consent remembering about her nightmare. Initially he thought to stay away from her as much as possible but their 1 month contract stopped him taking any move. Her pain and grief are so deep and grave that he have to heal her wounds by his love and care and it will only possible when he would be around her. A single moment with her is very precious to him. Last night he came to know how deeply that night haunting her and if he need to erase it then he should create new memories and make her believe he is not behind her body. He just wanted her in his life nothing else in return and wanted  to see a small string of  trust in her eyes  the way she bestowed her brother. He taken an vow to himself admiring her from behind.

Anjali: ''Bhaiya, there is whole night to admire your beautiful wife..spend some quality time with your little sister'' She interrupted winking at him. Feeling embarrassed, he turned toward anjali and smile slapping her head. Within some days i'm going to leave..''. He stopped her by embracing her in his arms. His eyes moistening knowing she is going to leave him sooner and both siblings share some sweet little moment together.

''Sada suhaagan raho''. Khushi get dumbstruck by one old lady comment and stare at arnav defiantly. She is probably arnav's grandmother as introduced by sumitra once, she assumed and plant a small smile to avoid awkwardness.

Dadi: ''I was always worried about arnav's marriage but now I am relax..i have only one wish to see my grand children before death embrace me'' She tightened her jaw and tried hard to control her unkempt emotion which is  not go unnoticed by him.

Though he is standing far but his eyes only stuck upon her and noticing her each and every expression grumpily.

Dadi: ''I have no expectation from nk knowing about his unlimited stock of girlfriends. Beta, only you would fulfill my wish?'' She looked on disbelief and stamp her foot angrily. Dadi feel strange by her sudden outrage. Arnav notice her changed facial expression. She was on verge of bursting out her temper when he reached at the right moment and excuses dadi and dragged her toward the edge of hall.

Arnav: ''Khushi what you doing..control yourself!!''

Khushi: ''How dare she... kaun hain vo bhudiya, uski himmat kaise hui aise bolne ki..main aur tumhara bachha apne peth mein..chee...aisa hone se pehle main marna pasand karungi.'' (Who was that old women how dare she say something like that..i and yours baby keep in my womb..yukky..before that I rather prefer death.) He feel tugged in heart but made a straight face.

Arnav: ''Mind your language khushi, she is my grandmother and love us a lot so please don't say anything that would hurt her...she is our elder and have no fault in it'' He requested politely and trying to make her understand with honesty.

Khushi: ''I don't give a damn who ever she is..make her understand I am not going to gave any heir to this family and a temporary bahu for just a month..'' She commanded with attitude.

Arnav: ''No comment regarding about your being temporary bahu, only time will say'' He reasoned and she crooked her eyebrow in disbelief. ''I will make you permanent'' he thought in his mind firmly.

Khushi: ''Did you say something?'' Her brain started to run cautiously, trying to predict what he is planning against her but then halted her brain knowing its not easy to predict him.

Khushi: ''Anyways i am saying she is supposed to bestowed lot of useless crappy dreams so better tell the truth and close her chapter'' She remarked in a harsh tone and move toward her direction to confront her when he stopped her.

Arnav: ''Khushi please, I request you don't create any fuss..look around, all are so happy with our marriage I don't want to spoil it''. [Paused] She raised her eyebrow awfully. ''Not for me at-least for anjali..please''.
Khushi: ''A person who never care about anyone's emotion, requesting me with so humbleness like a true gentleman..it won't suit you Mr raizada''. She mocked him. He sighed in exasperation and inched closer removing the distance between them noticing something. There is sudden changed in her gesture whenever he came closer to her, something similar that he saw last night. He could feel her nervousness throbbing by their proximity and her chest contradicted with fear. She gasped in terror and about to shot at him when he pointed toward her back. She touched her back and realized dori of her blouse flung opened. Her eyes popped up realizing he is trying to cover her from everyone eyes.

''Its so strange the person who take away my honor now protecting mr dignity from everyone sight.'' She wondered. There eyes meet for a brief second. She avoid meeting his gaze comprehending what he tried to convey and he again prove her wrong showing his noble fruitfulness. His behavior compel her to think did he really changed or its his pretense? Till now she cannot came to any conclusion and he didn't cross his line knowing about his past record. He pushed her lose tendril behind her ears and he watched her pupil move restlessly. She don't know how to put her thoughts into words.

Arnav: ''I don't want someone ogle on my wife and have no intend to make you discomfort, so just relax.'' He assured knowing she still in delusion but sooner he make her belief and win her heart.

In the meanwhile, guest dismissed. Khushi feel guilty for her sudden lash  and apologize to dadi by her rude behavior touching her toes and dadi accepted her wholeheartedly and whispered something in her ears before moving off. Arnav tried to guess what she said that khushi is smiling so cheerfully. She is looking so lively and fresh and he was desperate to know what's the reason of sudden changed behavior. How much he wished to see her smile always but always failed in it.

She look so breathtaking and her infectious smile increasing her beauty, he thought tenderly adoring her. He is seeing her like this after so long but suddenly he saw her smile faded and turned into painful. He looked at the direction of her eyes and saw nk standing along with lavanya and then he got the biggest shock of his life that he never expected at all. Arnav dashed toward them taking long strode and dashed at him. Arnav's mother and anjali rushed at the listening arnav's sharp voice. All are looking at them in shocked and confused expression.

Arnav: Nk what is this non sense?  His jaw was clenched and so were his fists. Khushi look at them with uttermost hatred and disgust.

Nk(Holding her hand): ''Bhai maine aur lavanya ne shaadi kar li'' (Bhai..i and lavanya are married now.) At one time, he claimed to love aditi and now married his brother's ex girlfriend, she wondered in astonishment.

Precap: Arnav: Get out from my house right now!!!! He screamed on top of the voice.

Nk: ''Chill bhai..why you raising your temper?''

Nk: ''You married my ex girlfriend so i did yours!'' He exclaimed cunningly.

Lavanya smirked glaring at arnav. He throw cash on their face and dragged nk outside along with lavanya.

Arnav: ''Go whereever you want, but this filthy girl never ever step inside my house until i am alive..get lost, you are dead for me!!''
