Chapter 20 : Mangalsutra

GR Aman's Cabin

"Thank you very much, Mr. Singh!" Aman thanked the owner of restaurant, where his wife was appointed as assistant chef, on his request.

"No need to thank Mr. Mathur. Her skills have already impressed us, in the entrance test itself. Even without your recommendation, we would have hired her."

Aman smiled listening appreciative remarks for Lavanya, as they concluded the talk after the formal pleasantries.

He always knew Lavanya was talented. That's why, he had suggested her to apply for the job.

'It will help her in polishing her skills, under professional guidance.'

Anyways he had to engage Lavanya in something like this, as she was getting depressed due to her heartbreak and this forceful marriage.

Or so he thought...

._._._.

Hotel Lobby:

"Excuse me!"

Arnav got stilled, as someone tapped on his back, making him detach from the lovely encounter with his wife.

'Who it might be? Sood or Roy?'

Khushi groaned in disappointment, as Arnav withdrew himself, the pleasurable feeling ending abruptly for her.

"I am sorry sir, but such behavior is not allowed here. Please retrieve to your room!" The person in navy-blue uniform asked politely.

Arnav sighed finding the hotel staff, while Khushi also came into senses.

He might have taken them as some horny couple, who couldn't keep their hands off each other.

The so-called horny couple tried to upright their appearances, embarrassed to the core, as they tried to ignore what just happened before the Manager.

"May I know your room number Sir!" He inquired further, making the two gulp.

Now what?

Arnav thought, as his eyes caught the nameplate of person, and he relaxed.

'Rudra Oberoi!'

"Khushi Pagal Hai!" Arnav uttered suddenly, making Khushi frown on him.

Rudra, the hotel Manager had a knowing expression after hearing the code. "Oh! I was waiting for you. Akash sir had informed me!" He handed a packet to Arnav.

Arnav took the packet and grabbing Khushi's hand vanished in the empty room, which Rudra had indicated.

"Couldn't you have any other code?" Khushi rebuked Arnav, as he closed the room which seemed to be under renovation.

Their earlier embarrassment had subsided or they did it intentionally.

After all a mission was to be accomplished.

"Established facts are easy to remember." Arnav answered coolly, hiding his smile. "Now turn back I have to change." He indicated towards the uniform of waiter, which Rudra had handed him.

Khushi got enraged at his response. "What's there I have not seen?"

She passed the remark and moved away, while Arnav turned crimson red, remembering the bathroom scene from last week.

"Can you do it a little fast?" She was tired of waiting, and was anxious for the meeting which might have started.

"I am done!" He was irritated by her constant taunts. "Now wait here, until I come back!" He was about to open the door, when she obstructed him.

"No way you are going alone!" Since last week, she had to spy him, follow him and even kiss him to attend the meeting. She wasn't going to leave it so easily.

"I am! Because you don't have a uniform like me!" He stated the obvious.

"Then arrange one for me too. Ask that Manager!" She didn't care.

Arnav sighed, cursing his fate.

He had no option but to comply, otherwise his wife would create another problem in his well-designed plan . He went out, only to find a waitress, standing outside the opposite room.

"Excuse me Miss!" He called for her, "Can you tell me, in which way Room no. 304 is!" He went towards her.

The girl turned to look at a very handsome man, whom she had never seen in their staff. But before she could respond, a scarf soaked in chloroform was tied to her nose, making her go shut.

Arnav took her unconscious body to the room, as Khushi looked at him bewildered.

'Is he into kidnapping business?'

He had tried his skills on her on their wedding day and now with this girl, so easy like a professional.

"Change fast and come out!" He went out, leaving his wife gulping and nodding silently.

After few minutes when Khushi came out, he handed her a surgical mask to hide their faces.

Pretending to be serving tea and other beverages, they entered the meeting room.

Khushi was fuming seeing most of the known faces in the room chatting.

'To escape from KKG is not only difficult but also impossible.'

"As a deadly virus is expanding, we were directed to use masks!" Arnav had said, when probed about it.

As everyone were busy in talks, he hid the mini cameras and audio jacks around. Completing the task along with Khushi, he nudged her to go out.

"Hey you girl!" Roy, one of the oldest associates of Shashi Gupta stopped Khushi suddenly. "Where are you going? Who will serve us?" He had his dirty eyes on the sexy girl, whose face was covered but the attractive body luring him.

Balraj, another partner interfered.

"Mr.Roy, did you forget it's a confidential meeting? Let her go, you can have fun later!"

Arnav clenched his jaw, listening to them. He wanted to pluck their eyes and feed them to crows.

"Don't worry Balraj. Nothing will happen!" He didn't allow Khushi to go out, while Arnav was compelled to leave her alone.

'I have told that Gupta to not come inside. But she has to be stubborn!! Now face it!'

Arnav was strolling in the lobby, out of the hotel room. He was tensed for Khushi, worried for her safety.

'I will cut them into pieces, if they lay even a single finger on her.'

._._._.

Next morning, Lavanya woke up early to get ready. She was anxious for her first day of job, in the renowned restaurant of Delhi.

She had not expected them to hire her so quickly. Just yesterday she had applied and they called her in the afternoon for an interview, which included an on-the-spot evaluation.

By the evening she had got the mail that she had to join today. Only if she knew the involvement of her husband, she wouldn't be so much surprised. 

Wearing a sleeveless top and long skirt, she came out of the washroom.

Opening her hair out of the towel, she walked towards the dressing table, in the process dropping some water drops on Aman's face, who was still asleep on the recliner.

Aman opened her eyes with the wet sensation on her face, only to be mesmerized by his wife, seeing her first time in western clothes. Her curves being more pronounced in the tight top and skirt, as his eyes roamed on her, unintentionally.

She blew her hair dry, styling it in a messy bun. She was confused about choice of earrings to match with her mangalsutra.

'Classy or casuals!'

But Aman took it in other way.
'Is she bothered with her marital status?'

Webbed in the misunderstanding, he got up from the recliner, closing the distance between them in two lazy but large strides.

When Lavanya saw her husband's  reflection in the mirror, coming towards her, her stomach churned with nervousness.

'He looks good with a day old stubble and those unruly hair on his forehead.' Her thoughts stopped suddenly, as Aman held her shoulder in his large palm, sending shivers to her with his touches, as he swiftly turned her towards him.

'Will he kiss me now as shown in those romantic movies?'

She took a shuddered breath, closing her eyes in anticipation, waiting for his rough lips, but her hopes broke.

Instead of her rough morning lips, she found his rough fingers working on her nape.

"This is not matching with it, Lavanyaji. Try something western with it."

Huh? She was confused as she looked down towards his fingers.

Mangalsutra in his hands!!!

He had removed the sacred thread from her neck.

Pocketing it securely, with that two lines, he moved towards the washroom.

'I am not that lucky to have me in your life Lavanyaji. I can understand your feelings.'

Aman thought closing the door, behind him.

While Lavanya was feeling dejected after he snatched her right to even wear the thread of his name.

'You might not believe in this marriage, but I do Amanji.' She was feeling a void in her neck.

'Will he give away my right to Sheetal?'

She was under the misconception that Aman and Sheetal were still in touch, as some tears fall down.

._._._.
