Part 18:

Shyam smirked seeing Anjali deeply thinking. He closed his eyes in content knowing that he successfully planted a seed of doubt in Anjali. He knows that Anjali can be the ASR when it's related to her brother. Dadi Ji also helped him indirectly, not knowing the reality. Now he just needs to wait for Khushi to come home. He is so shocked knowing that Khushi has not been to AR for the last two days. He asked his man who is working there about Khushi and her work. He got information about her and her work. As per him, there are no new projects they signed. He was enraged when that person told him about Akash and Aman's absence in the office. Here he thought, they are working day and night to set the right AR, but in reality, they are not even in the city. If he had known that, he would have striked AR and taken control. He missed the golden chance. He bashed his man for not informing him about this. He warned him not to miss any updates.

His thoughts got disturbed by the knock on the door.

"Shyam babu, Dadi ji is asking for you," said HP and left, seeing Shyam nodding his head. He breathed out not seeing Anjali in the room. She is in the washroom. He quickly went out towards Dadi's room.

"Come inside, Shyam. And close the doors," said Dadi and continued once he did as asked. "I want you to enquire about that girl Khushi. This family may trust her, but I will not. And I'm not ready to give all my grandson's hard work to a mere outsider. So, I want you to use your lawyer circle, and enquire about her. I want all the details about her. I need to make everyone see what that girl is in reality,"

"Sure, Dadi Ji. I will do whatever I can. You please don't take tension. Arnav was like my baby brother. I can never accept any injustice towards him. I know how much hard work he did for this family. I know, Dadi Ji. I can understand your feelings. Don't worry, I will do everything in my hands," Shyam said, holding her hands, sitting near her legs.

Nodding her head with a small smile, Dadi caressed his hair. "I wish others also understand my feelings as you do, Shyam. Stay happy always. Now, you can leave. Anjali must be waiting for you, Go," said Dadi with a satisfied smile on her face, not knowing whom she is asking for help, is not less than a snake.

Nodding head, Shyam left from there with a smirk. Till now, I thought only Anjali was a fool. But now, I understand that foolishness is running in their blood. The great mighty ASR also was not different. Unbelievable. Shaking his head and smiling a little, he left for his room.

::::::::::::::::::::

"I don't understand why this Ma Ji is behind Khushi bitiya. And she is asking for help from this snake. I need to alert Khushi, Akash, and NK about this. I don't know what is happening with them, no one is here and they are not telling anything. I hope everything is fine. Oh God, please give my children all the strength they need to come out of this phase," prayed Mami, after "accidentally" listening to the conversation between Shyam and Dadi.

Same day night, the place where Arnav was kept.

"He is doing good, Mrs Raizada. You no need to worry. In fact, he is trying his best to recover. And looking at him, I'm sure it will be very soon, he will come back. Don't worry," saying that Dr Dev left the room getting a nod from Khushi, to give privacy to the couple.

"Did you hear, Arnav Ji? You will be fine in a few days. And I can't wait to listen to your 'what the' anymore," Khushi chuckled with tears in her eyes.

Arnav looked at her and smiled a little. His eyes held love and pain in his eyes.

"Sh... don't worry Arnav Ji, everything will be fine. You please just get well soon. We missed you a lot, Arnav JI. Everyone missed you. Nani, Di, Jiji, and most importantly Mami, they all are missing you. You know, Mami stopped calling me and Jiji with her weird names. She accepted us as her DILs. She asked for forgiveness from us. She has changed a lot. Nanhe Ji is working in AR. Aman Bhai and Akash Jiju are taking good care of your baby, Arnav Ji. A lot happened in your absence. Life is not a life without you. Oh Arnav Ji...," Khushi burst into tears holding his hand.

Arnav tried to hold her hand to console her. He couldn't see her breaking like this. He can understand how she might be feeling now. He can understand her fears. But he is glad he is back. Now, it's just a matter of days till he comes to his normal self. Then he can take care of her and will live up to her expectations. He will shower all his love and respect she deserves. He remembered how hurt she was when he got married to her. He remembered how devastated she was when he left her at the airport. Tears rolled down from his eyes. His thoughts got disturbed by Khushi's surprised call.

"Arnav Ji!!!!" Khushi exclaimed in surprise. Her eyes moved from Arnav's face to his hand which was holding hers in a tight grip.

Arnav followed her eyes and got surprised to see his hand holding hers.

"Devi Mayya..., Arnav Ji, you are holding my hand! Did you notice that?" Khushi asked with glee. "Let me call the doctor to check," she was about to leave but his hold tightened more to stop her. "Arnav Ji?" Khushi looked at him and understood his unsaid words. "Okay, I will not leave. I will stay, but you did it, Arnav Ji. Oh! Devi Mayya! I'm so happy..., now I'm sure, you will get well soon. Lad governor, you tortured me a lot. Now I can't wait for more to pay you back," Khushi removed her hand from his clutch, holding his hand to her heart, and closed her eyes, feeling him next to her.

Arnav tried to move his fingers to hold her hand again, but, as he was not able to control his hand, his fingers touched the upper swell of her breast. Khushi's eyes opened wide, feeling his touch and Arnav stopped fearing her reaction. Both breathed heavily and looked at each other. Arnav can see fear and excitement in her eyes. He wished that he was in a better situation to fulfill her excitement. His eyes traveled slowly towards her chest. Khushi can see the same desire that she saw on Diwali night, in his eyes. A shiver ran into her spine when she noticed his eyes going towards her chest. Suddenly she felt an unknown feeling in the pit of her stomach. Her breathing became heavy. She left his hand and was about to turn but gasped when she felt his hand tightening on her swell. She closed her eyes to control her feelings.

"Shhhi...,"

Khushi's eyes snapped open hearing him calling her. She looked at him and understood what he was feeling. 'He is your husband Khushi, your Arnav Ji. You no need to hesitate' thought Khushi and slowly leaned on him to kiss his forehead. He closed his eyes, feeling her lips. She slowly kissed his eyes, nose, and cheeks. She slowly moved her lips towards his, kissing him at the corner of his lips. She heard a low disgruntled sound from him which made her smile.

"Then what do you think? I will give you whatever you desire for, easily? This is punishment for leaving me without your kiss on Diwali night. Do you know how I felt? Do you know how shaken I was? Thank your stars that at least I kissed you," whispered Khushi, in her husky voice which neither of them knows that she has.

Arnav's breath hitched remembering his feelings on that day. He looked straight into her eyes and tried to pull her towards him holding her dress. The backside of his palm touched her breast leaving both in craving for more. And again, Khushi understood his unsaid words. She slowly stood up and closed all the doors and windows. She slowly lay beside him and put a full stop to their unfulfilled want by kissing him on his lips. Both left a satisfied moan, feeling each other on their lips. They both felt like floating in the air. Khushi slowly started moving her lips knowing that he may not be able to do it, due to his condition. But to both of their surprise, Arnav's lips moved a bit to give her a chance to do whatever she was wishing to do. With sudden energy and power, Khushi kissed him hard. Leaving both of them high in desire.

After kissing for some time, Khushi broke their kiss and looked at his eyes which were dark with desire.

"I can't wait more for you, Arnav Ji. I need you, I want you. Please come back to me. I missed your touch, I missed your possessive hold, I missed your warmth whenever you pulled me towards you. I missed everything about you, Arnav Ji. Please get well soon and take me. I can't wait for more to get marked by you," Khushi voiced her desire to him. After going through a lot in her life, after almost losing him - she understood the value of time and relationship. She wants to live her life with Arnav Ji. Life has given her one more chance. She doesn't want to miss that. Previously she felt shy to voice out her feelings towards him. But now, he is Arnav Ji, her husband, and she felt no need to shy away. If she can't voice her desire to him now, then she might lose this chance. Life is unpredictable. She is not going to take a chance. She and Arnav both are young and hot-blooded, they have desires. They both are a couple and it's their right to voice out what they want from each other.

Arnav's eyes became darker after hearing her words.

"Shi..." his voice filled with desire. He cursed his state for not being able to give her what she was asking. He knew what type of girl she was. She was so shy, timid, and uncomfortable in all these matters. To voice out her desire like this, to him, how much courage she needs, he can understand very well. He tried hard to pull her towards him, holding her dress. He wanted to do something to give her pleasure. But he is not able to do that. Suddenly his eyes got moist in helplessness.

Observing his feelings and wanting to bring him out of his misery, Khushi did something which left Arnav in shock. Khushi sat on the bed and removed her dress top. She lay beside him and held his face near her cleavage. She left a soft moan feeling his warm breath on her chest. She held his head tight and closed her eyes in content.

Arnav breathed her scent hard and closed his eyes in content. His mind and heart wanted to feel her more, wanted to taste her more. He pushed his face more into her and rubbed on her chest. Both stayed like that feeling each other's breath and heartbeat and slowly sleep took over them.

Next Morning:

"I think it will be good if you both go home, Jija Ji. I don't want anyone to get the doubt. I mean, Shyam is so silent and I don't know what he is planning for AR. I want all these things to get clear fast. So that I can take Arnav Ji home. I can't keep him here for long. I want him inside his house," said Khushi, pacing in the room.

NK, Aman, and Akash looked at her. They knew how much she was controlling herself from breaking in front of Arnav. Seeing one's love after believing in his death, no one can stay strong. And they would become more possessive and more careful towards them. Just before anyone can say anything, Aman's phone rang showing Karthik's (Mr Roy's assistant) name. Looking at everyone Aman answered the call.

"Tell me Mr Karthik," the name alerted everyone in the room.

"..."

"What? What are you talking about? Are you sure?" asked Aman, leaving everyone puzzled.

"..."

"Fine, keep me updated," Aman gritted his teeth and disconnected the call.

"What's wrong Aman?" asked Akash.

"That rascal is framing Khushi," said Aman.

"What?" asked NK, not understanding.

"Shyam asked Karthik to prepare a set of papers which says that ASR's entire property was transferred to Khushi. And also asked him about his lawyer friends who are in need of money and can do work for him," said Aman, thinking.

"What? Why does he do that?" asked Akash.

"To frame me as a bad person in front of the family. To frame me as a money-minded, unworthy and gold digger. So that family can throw me out," said Khushi, trying to understand his plans.

"He knew that as ASR's wife, Khushi would get property unless ASR mentioned anyone as a nominee. So, before that information comes out, he wants to prove Khushi wrong and throw her out," said Aman.

"We underestimated him," said NK.

"I told you, Nanhe Ji, he is the worst human being," said Khushi.

"What should we do now?"

"First of all, we should take care of Arnav Ji's Will. In any of the circumstances, I don't want any information to come out. I can't trust that man. I don't know what he will do to the family members and Aman Bhai, once he comes to know about the Will. We need to be more careful now. And we can't delay anything now that he has already started his game," said Khushi.

The trio agreed with her. After discussing what to do next, Aman went to AR where Akash and NK to RM.

:::::::::::::::::

RM

"Where were you Akash? and NK? And Where is Khushi?" asked Anjali after seeing them both entering the house.

"Di, we are working on a project deadline. Khushi was with us helping. From there she left for Buaji house. She already mentioned to Dadi I think," said Akash looking at Nani.

"Yes, she informed me about her visit to AR and her maternity house. I hope she will forget everything and become normal," said Nani.

"I can't believe this! She is going to the office and then to her maternal home. What is this Devyani? Is this house or any hotel? Doesn't she have any responsibility towards this house? If she went to the office to help them then fine. But going to her mother's place? How is that justified?" Dadi started her tantrums.

"Subhadra, I already told you. We already had this discussion. So, stop doing this. I trust Khushi and I give her all the rights and she can do whatever she wants. I'm repeating, I TRUST KHUSHI. I don't want to hear anything about her," Nani cleared her opinion.

Both Akash and NK looked at each other and then at their mother. Manorama signaled them 'later'.

"We need to leave for the office again after breakfast. Payal, make my things ready," Akash said and left for his room along with Payal, and NK towards his room.

::::::::::::::::::::::

Shyam is very eager to know about Khushi's whereabouts. He is well aware that Khushi didn't go to Buaji's house as he kept his men there. If she didn't go there, then where did she go? Why are these two brothers covering her up? Or don't they know about her whereabouts? Did she lie to everyone? Or is she really doing something behind their back? Did he fail to understand her? Isn't she the person they know and whatever she is showing up? Was there any other reality? Was she something else? Or is she doing something along with the trio? Or did they get any new projects as they said? Maybe they kept the information secret from employees. But that will be impossible. How much he is trying to find out, he couldn't come to conclude. 'I need to be careful and act fast. I don't know what they are doing. What if they are trying to get hold of Arnav's Will? What if Arnav already made things clear in that will? I can't let them win! I didn't do all these just to let them get all the property. This is mine, this should be mine. I can't let this go. I need this. I want this - this luxury, this money, and everything. I need to step carefully and act as soon as possible,' thought Shyam, before leaving the house to check on Khushi.
