Part 58 Separation plan?

"Yeah, I'm recovered now. So they won't let me be with you until they fix the date I suppose"

Arnav was looking at her horrified who was controlling herself not to smile.

"What do you mean?"

"Arnavji, everything has its way to happen, especially this one. Elders will fix the right time. Then only we will be happy in our life." She said like a good girl even though she was not fine with that.

"Otherwise, won't we be happy?" he asked heated up.

"It's not like that, Arnavji"

"Then what? I don't know why you are thinking this way"

"I'm not thinking... Amma called me this morning and told me Arvind uncle called Babuji last evening and talked about it to them"

Arnav became thoughtful.

"Are you going to be separated from me? Are you fine with that?"

"We have to... we have no choice"

"We have... what will they do if we don't want to be separated?"

"It's not permanent, Arnavji. It's just for a few days. They are our parents. They will do anything for our betterment"

"Will you say the same to my father's deed also?"

Khushi looked at him plainly.

"What if he does anything again? What if he plans something to separate us?"

"He is not alone in our first-night planning team. Your mother and my parent are also there. They won't let him do anything. By the way, why do you doubt him? He just did that to make you marry"

"What harm if we are together?"

"They want it to happen at the sacred time. Then how will they let us be together?"

"Why? Why won't they let us be together? What will happen if we are together?"

"You talked about our first night desperately this morning. They would have sensed your interest. So, they will not let us be together because this is the matter of their heir"

Arnav rolled his eyes.

"I don't believe in such things..."

"But they do... you married me without caring about good time and day... they want at least our first night to happen at the sacred time"

"We were already married fifteen years ago. They did that at the perfect time. What happened? We got separated. After a big struggle only we became one. Then why the hell they are behind the good time this time too?"

"Let them do it for their satisfaction, Arnavji"

"What are you...! You are supporting them over your husband...! What kind of wife you are?"

"I'm not only a good wife but also a good daughter and good daughter-in-law"

"What will you do if I kidnap you?"

Khushi dropped her jaw.

"What are you...! Are you thinking of kidnapping your wife? What kind you are?"

"We were together till last night. How do they think nothing would have happened between us?"

Khushi was stuck. Yes, there was a chance to do it. Then how do they think nothing would have happened between them?

"They think you are a gentleman..."

"No way...! My parents knew how desperate I had been"

Khushi flinched.

"Desperate?" she murmured getting horrified.

Arnav smiled touching his inner cheek with his tongue. Khushi turned her gaze away from him. Arnav leaned towards her.

"Don't you know?"

Khushi bowed. Arnav lifted her chin and said,

"You are going to do what I say"

"Whaaaattt?"

"I will tell you later"

"No... I won't" She nodded no hurriedly.

"Oh, really?" he asked sarcastically.

She pouted.

"What will you do if I take you somewhere without anyone's knowledge?"

"Why are you talking like a GOON?"

"I won't mind transforming into a goon if needed"

Khushi dropped her jaw.

"Can't you be waiting for a few more days?"

"Why should I wait? Is not it enough of waiting for fifteen years?"

"Arnavji... listen to me"

"You listen to me..."

Khushi sighed.

"I don't know you are a spoilt brat"

"I'm glad you understood that"

He walked to his cabin. Khushi sighed with a pout. She didn't know what he was going to do. She was nervous because she had to disobey her in-laws and parents if she obeyed Arnav. If she didn't obey him, he would get upset with her. She could not conclude anything.

Evening

Arnav came to Khushi's cabin. She looked at him.

"Wind up your work"

She looked at her watch.

"It's just six Arnavji"

"So?"

"You would always leave late"

"I was single. So, I worked aimlessly. Not anymore"

Khushi dropped her jaw.

"But, you didn't let Aman sir go home earlier than ever before...!"

"He didn't show interest in going home. It's not my problem. Come"

Khushi blinked her eyes sighing. Winding up her work, she came out. Arnav started the car and headed to RM. He wanted to sort out the issue that was waiting for him in RM. He looked at Khushi who was looking outside thinking something deeply.

"What are you thinking?"

She looked at him and nodded no.

"Don't think much... however you have to face the GOON" he chuckled.

"You should think twice before doing anything, Arnavji"

"I will think not only twice but trice before doing anything but if I decide something, I won't think about it again"

"Won't your decision be wrong?"

"My decisions never went wrong..."

"But this is not a matter to be stubborn, Arnavji,"

"What matter are you talking about?"

She rolled her eyes and Arnav smiled.

"We are not going to be separated... that's final"

He concentrated on the road.

"If you are not ready for our first night, I will wait. It doesn't mean we should stay away. Just be with me... in OUR room... that's all"

Khushi looked at him wondering. Then why did he say he was desperate? He replied to her as if he read mind.

"I said I'm desperate. It doesn't mean I will force you" he said seriously, making her be in awe.

After that, Khushi didn't say anything.

RM

They reached home. Ratna smiled at them. It seemed she was waiting for them but she was not waiting for them. Her question said that.

"Chotte, you guys came home earlier!" She smiled.

"Yeah... we came"

"I was thinking of calling you to talk about something"

"What, Mom?"

"We fixed a date for the further RITUAL"

Arnav alerted.

"WE?"

"Yours and Khushi's parents"

"What ritual?"

"Dad will tell you about it. He went to meet our astrologer to fix a date for the ritual. He called me and said he would talk to you about it. He is on his way. I'm waiting for him only"

Arnav was alerted. His father went to meet the astrologer... alone?

"Didn't you go to meet the astrologer?" He asked Ratna.

"I wanted to, but Dad said he would go"

Arnav became thoughtful. Ratna looked at Khushi.

"Khushi beta, you go to Lavanya's room and be with her"

Khushi looked at Arnav and nodded her head affirmatively.

"Why should she go to Lavanya's room?"

"It's ritual, Chotte..."

"May I know what ritual you are talking about?"

"I will tell you" Said Arvind who came there.

"Come with me," he said looking at Khushi and walking to his room. Arnav followed him.

Coming to his room, Arvind looked at Arnav.

"Ratna was talking about nothing but your first night"

"Oh..."

"I met our astrologer and asked him for a sacred date"

"Mmm"

"He gave a good date that suited for both of you"

Arnav didn't ask which date.

"He fixed it next month 26th"

Arnav looked at him sharply.

"Until then, you and Khushi should be separated. Her parents are even ready to take her to GH but I don't think it's necessary. We have no problem if she is in RM. So, she will be with Lavanya in her room till next month 26th. You can take her to the office every day" he said looking at Arnav who was silently looking at him.

"I know it will be hard for you. We have no choice. You married her without minding about time and all. Being your parents, we can't be irresponsible. We want you to be without any problems in your life. That's why we are doing this. One month will run in the blink of an eye..."

"One and half months..." Arnav corrected.

"Yeah... you were so patient when she was injured. Just think she has not yet healed. Then, it won't be hard for you" he smiled.

His smile vanished hearing Arnav's next stance.

"But she healed... and we already completed our first night," he said making Arvind thunderstruck.
