Chapter 28: Brain or heart

''Didn't you lemembel me once..how badly I and papa misshe (Misses) eu..phy you lephfts (Left) us? Phy..Shay na?'' Little one complaint in an accusing tone, shaking her mumma's dupatta in a attempt to reach to her height. 

Khushi just stay numb observing her desperate attempt keenly. Her throat went dry swallowing the bitter taste of the pain that suddenly arose seeing her tears.

''Phat you shtaring me now..I need my ansher..'' (Answer) Small Khushi asked again with a low sulky voice.

''What are you doing Khushi, Can't you see purity and honesty in them. She is just too adorable, just like you''. Her heart swell by the thought of having a baby. And then she saw her cuddling to her like a soft toy. 

Khushi blink her eyes listening her rants sweetly.

''You can't imagenne how much me misshes you..all my classchmate habe a pelphect (Perfect) phamily. During every occasion, whether it is phestival, birthday, parent's meet or anything their parents come to skul. But me? Bhy My phamily remains incomplete..? phy you never came back to me..me sooow bad that you left me..tell na..? Me bad daughter..?'' Her heart clenched in pain.

Khushi slowly let's go off her fragile hands from her duptta and kneel to her length. Chahat was very upset. She move backward and turn her back feeling angry and sad. Her Mumma sigh and slowly make her turn and then settle her to her lap ignoring all her protest. She adore her baby princess while caressing her soft cheeks. Her heart began melting seeing her innocent face and the way her tears falling down, it makes her extremely guilty.

''Baby..'' Khushi uttered in a pampering voice.

''I'm not baby. My name is Khushi''. Chahat snapped flaring her nose.

''But this is my name''. Said Khushi.

''No!'' Kiddo feel offended. ''This is my copyright. Me khushi..not you..''

''But I came first in this world and you did stole my name..may I ask you why?'' Ask Khushi in her baby voice.

''Then ask Papa, he only give me this name..'' Chahat paused to think. ''May be because he loves you and we are same same na..''

Just then her mind barked at her heart. ''This name is given by Asr. To make you weak. So that he hurt you more. This kid is not yours..She is certainly one of the result of his lust, but definitely not yours. Don't believe her. It is a part of Asr plan.'' Khushi get up in a instant.

My heart snapped. ''What are you thinking. Just look at her. She is in pain. She needs you, Khushi. Don't be so ruthless with her. Look at her innocent face, she resemble like you.''

''Definitely not..'' Her Mind objected.

''Do you really think a fragile and innocent kid like her can lie to you. Bache toh DM ka roop hote hain..Iske aankhon mein vahi sachai hain jo tere andar hain..jiske vajese uske baap ne usse apnane se jhukla diya tha (Kids are a form of idols..there is a honesty in those eyes that you had..Because of which, her father rejected to accept her)

This war between mind and heart continues and her little one already drown into beautiful slumber receiving a comfortable warmth being near her mother. 

Khushi continue to adore for sometime when she sense the threat nearing. Just then her men came running inside and told me about Asr arrival.

Damn!

''Come here..'' Khushi get up slowly carrying Chahat's in her arms and then handover to one of her assistant.

''Go and laid her to opposite room till then I will deal with her father..''

''But mam..I..I never handle kids and she is very naughty..Only i know how i bare her tantrum all these days '' Nishant, her PA said in a low voice.

She eyed him making him bowed his head immediately. On the very moment, a voice came.

''Khushi!!!!!!!!! I know Chahat is with you..Come out else i will break the door..'' Said Arnav banging the main entrance.

She signal her assitant and he step forward to carry little one from Khushi's arms. As she turn to walk, when suddenly she felt her collar stuck letting her to stop on her track. She turned and saw her little one clasp her collar unconsciously.

''Careful..'' Khushi return back and balances her immediately preventing her to fall as she was about to slip from his arms.

''Can't you hold her properly..What if she got hurtt..'' Meera almost shouted. A mother inside her knock her senses.

''What to do. She is not willing to let you go even in her slumber. See how adorably she stick to you..'' Said Nishant, pulling her chubby cheeks cutely.

Just like a protective mother, Khushi took her baby back into her arms as she didn't like anyone touch her daughter AT ALL. 

''What are you thinking..'' Scolding her heart, she give chahat to another man, instructing him to carry her properly. But mini Khushi feel disturbed and give a kick that directly hit his face.

''Owww!''

''Now what?'' Khushi slap her head frustrated. Her employee are good for nothing, can't even handle one kid. She came forward and patted her to calm her down.

''Mam please..help..she is kicking me..''

''Stop your bloody non-sense and do what was told to you''. As soon as Khushi detached herself, Chahat wake up from her slumber and started crying.

What the hell!

''I told you mam..she is not willing to let's go of you..''

''Mumm..ma..do-nt-go-na..'' Her soft whisper making her restless. But she scolded herself taking a deep breathe.

''That's why i hate kids. Shut up..I said shut your mouth..kiddo'' Having no option left, she tied her mouth with a cloth and then move near the window. There she saw saw Arnav fighting with her men who had blocked his entry.

This father-daughter duo getting on my nerves. She groaned frustrated while mini Khushi clap her hand after waking up. She rub her eyes yawning. Her eyes shot wide as she watched her papa dashing entry like a superman who just broke the door and come inside.

''Hehe..papa came..papa came..papa came..'' Chahat managed to speak, though her mouth was tied but she is enjoying her kidnapping adventure a lot.

''Shut up and take her away NOW!'' Nishant accompanied by other men nodded and they left soon after.

''Mumm...ma..mumm..a..!'' Poor kid continue wriggling. While Khushi moved out to deal with her father.

''What the hell, Asr? Who give you right to enter without permission and damage my property?'' Khushi barked angrily. Her men attacked him as he try to reach her. Beating each of them, he knock them to the ground and then walk toward his destination.

''Don't you dare near me..'' She snorted as he was walking near her and she step backward. This forward and backward continue for a while until there were no place to go.

''Where do you hide her?'' He pinned her to the nearest wall and lean close to her. She tilted her head sideways and continue struggling in his grip.

''Leave me..''

''Not until you tell me where you keep my--''

''She is dead..''

''Mind your tongue. She is your daughter got dammit..how could you--

''I JUST HATE HER..''

''You loves her as much as you love me..'' Hearing his phrase, she turn her head and their eyes met. She look at him as if she was stabbed.

''I know i hurt you a lot and my deeds are not forgivable'' He couldn't say anything further and continue gazing her. Her lips curved into a sarcastic smile. 

''Nice acting..'' She pushed him angrily making him to step back. ''I'm not a fool to fell in your trap..'' She took a sharp breathe before saying further. ''Don't test my patience and get out before i do something worst..''

''Khushi..tum..'' He try to say something.

''I SAID GET OUT MR RAIZADA..'' She hardly keep direct contact with his eyes and look away suppressing her pain.

Her eyes reflect every single emotions she was hiding. It shows the clear visibility of her inner heart and it made him vulnerable. He was about to say something but words choke under his throat when he saw blood on the floor. He grew shock and immediately turn her to face him immediately checking her if she got hurt.

''Bloody casenova you just need a chance to touch me..''

''Why you always think so low about me?''

On the other side, Chahat is hearing their conversation like a crime investigator keeping eye on them. Her legs were tied and few men roaming around her and disturbing the most important task in her hands.

''Taklu uncle..plzzz don't distulb me..can't you see me soww busyyy..'' Said Mini Khushi with her ears glued to the door. While men strictly told her to sit quietly.

''How dalle you shout at me. I'm your boss daughter so technically I'm your main boss. You should obey main command..Understand..you better understand..''

''But..'' One men try to object.

''If you shay ohon (One) word I complain to mumma and she will phire you from job. You know na how badly mumma schold..you want to become her next talget? (target) '' They nodded negatively and she smile devilishly.

''What's your name?'' Asked Chahat in a typical bossy way.

''Raghav..''

''Okay Raghav uncle..go and bring hot chocolate milk for me.. And you..taklu uncle..untie my hands right now..''

''That lady hitler will kill me if i freed you..''

''Haww you call my mumma hitler..waise it suits her better..'' She giggled and then keep her focus back on the work. ''Shh!! let me hear what they are talking..''

Inside little one is busy in troubling poor employee hired by her mother and outside, Arnav and khushi busy in their own war zone.

''You better concentrate on our deal instead of roaming around me.'' Said Khushi showing him wrist watch and then says,''Only 4 hours left for that challenge..If you forget let me remind you that within 4 hours you will be my slave..''

''Why you are being so impatient for our deal. Don't worry jaan..Very soon you will be in my house, in my arms. So be ready at sharp 7 A.M. Your Arnav will be coming to take you back to your real sasuraal..''

He sneered at her, stare her for a while and left with smiling face.

He was left but she was too angry. Her mobile beep and she receive his text message.

''You look very beautiful when you get angry. Love you, sweetheart..do not miss me..I'm inside your heart'' At the end, he send her kissing emo that enraged her more.

She gritted her teeth in anger, swell her nose and then throw her mobile in full force, trying to calm herself. That's when she heard her baby voice. She took few step forward and saw her talking to her men.

''If boss came to know i freed your mouth and let you talk, I am dead..'' Pleads one men making her laugh wholeheartedly. Her antics made Khushi forget all the tensions and worry for a minute and she stood there admiring little baby.

''No worry when Khushi is here. My mumma is like a cocunut..hard outside and soft inside..''

''What? Khushi mam is your..--

''Lo karlo baat ..ab tak kya main Ramayan ga rahi thi..ofcourse she is my mumma..'' (Did I'm telling you bedtime story)

 Chahat face lit up as soon as she caught her Mumma figure at the door.

''Are mumma you here..me telling taklu uncle that you--''

Stop! She step in and her men move out from there. Locking the door from inside, she reached little Khushi who open her arms, asking her to hold her. Khushi fold her hands and watch her with stern expression.

''I think you are mentally unwell that's why calling me your mother all the time. listen miss chota packet I'm not your mumma, keep this in your mind very clearly..dono baap beti haath dhoke mere peche padh gaya.. (Both father-daughter hell behind me)

''Haww you are rejecting your own daughter? DM will scold you.''

''Dm? Since when you started chanting her name''.

I dunno remember but i love talking to my best friend, Devimaiya. You know she solve all my problems and loves me a lot like you and papa love me.

''I don't love you..''

''Ouchh..It hurts..'' Chahat said placing her hand above her heart. Khushi rolled her eyes by her drama.

''Today is the best moment of my life because I got you, mumma..'' Chahat express her gratitude with a smile adorn on her face. She started jumping and dancing posing her favorite salman Khan moves.

''Crazy girl..stop irritating me by calling me Mumma..''

''Okay then i will call you mom''. She show her teeth naughtily and came to hug her but her hands was tied. She ask her to untie her as she wanted to hug her tightly.

''I don't like anyone to touch me. So better stay 5 inch away from me..Okay?''

''Haww then how i born without you and papa--..'' Khushi gasped by her sudden remark. She look away embarrassed. ''Bolo na Mumma..'' Khushi was tongue tied. She has no words to answer her.

''Bolo bolo..sharmao mat..(Don't be shy) Me have seen in movies..Besides I have seen you and papa romancing that night. You both look soww cute together..Oh no! I forgot to ask about papa..I never stay away from papa for such a long..He was indeed worried..give me phone i will call him''

''Very smart. But not as smart as me''.

''Means?''

Means..you are not allowed to talk to anyone..Specifically your father. Anyways I have some work to finish..Nishant. She call him. He come inside as per her order and then she left giving him few instructions.

Chahat was sadly laying on the bed keeping her head down. Food was kept in front of her untouched. She was very hungry, but not habitual to eat until anyone made her eat with their hands. Horses and mouses dancing inside her tummy. Upon that she cannot move as she is handcuffed. Her mouth was also sealed. She was dying to talk to her DM to release her stress blunter. But unable to do so.

''Papa, where are you?'' She mumbled within her heart when in a sudden someone footsteps felt near to her.

''Oh no kahi Villan uncle phirse toh nahi aa gaye..'' (Does Villan uncle came back?)
