Chapter 39: Venomous love

A huge volcano burst in the apartment once arnav gain conscious and started to show his tantrum by showing his usual attitude. Upon that, seeing his drastic state Khushi felt a sudden urge to beat him hard but somehow she control. Currently her anger has no boundary. While the little baby stuck between two wild lions since none of them ready to back off.

Khushi: ''This is the last time. Tell your dad to get up and change his wet clothes.

Arnav: ''First tell your mom to talk to me..''

They were not talking directly and communicating through Chahat who is now badly trapped between duo.

Khushi: ''Baby tell him to stop behaving like a spoil brat..''

Arnav: ''Say your mom, I am not a brat okay.''

Chahat(Interrupting in midway) One minute, mumma. One minute papa. If you guys wants to talk. Talk directly. I am busheyy pelson. And mumma. My Papa is not a spoil brat..he is a good boy..okay.'' He smiles receiving her compliment and pass a flying kiss. This surely burn her.

Khushi: Enough!

Papa: ''My baby is right. I am a good boy.'' Little one give high-five.

Khushi: ''Shut up Raizada. Dare to speak a word. I will break your nose.'' He got taken aback seeing threat coming on his way and hide behind mini devil- his one and only support system.

She took the responsibility on her shoulder and stood like a pillar and come in support of papa. But it was no use. Both continue their argument keeping Chahat on target point..

Baby doll moving her head first left and then right eyeing them with her duo eyes, unable to understand why she become sandwich between the duo.

Arnav: ''Baby tell her..She cannot dictate me all the time..I am her lover not any...ouchuuu..''

Khushi(With gritted teeth): ''See I told him but this arrogant guy never understand. He will catch cold..tell him to change.'' She passed him fresh pair of clothes and gave last warning to change it otherwise consequence will be hazardous.

Arnav: ''Did you see doll. How your mom openly blackmailing your innocent papa.''

Khushi: ''Innocent. Is that so?'' He shook his head irking her more. Mini baby controlling her laugh covering her mouth, enjoying their cat-mouse fight.

Then suddenly while arguing his head began spinning and he get imbalanced. Since Chahat standing close, she held him on time while Khushi scold him to go and change immediately. But no! He doesn't listen until she come by herself instead of sending Chahat for help. He is dying to be with Khushi but her anger reaching sky high. On the other hand, Little baby unable to balance his weight asking her mumma to help. Khushi sigh and finally come forward and grab him through waist. He smile foolishly as if he got his favorite candy.

Khushi: ''Keep your teeth inside and allow me to..'' She held his hand up and remove his wet t-shirt. She is quite is hesitant to reciprocate further. Her fingers tremble.

Arnav: ''Why did you stop..I am all yours..'' He whispered within her ears. A shiver ran her spine. ''You have all the right to see me without any..'' His words infuriate her and she drag him toward the bathroom before passing his T-shirt and pants.

Khushi: ''I am not your slave anymore..God have given you hands. Use it for some better work...'' She said arrogantly and headed back toward recliner to continue her leftover work.. He pouted like a baby while mini Khushi giggle seeing the cute expression on his face.

Chahat: ''Hehe..papa ap mumma se itna dalte kyu ho.?.'' (Why you scare of mumma)

Arnav: ''Because your mum is a Hitler..''

Khushi: ''Excuse me! What?''

Arnav: ''Nothing sweetheart..I am going..'' He quickly went inside after receiving her threatening glare. Mini Khushi burst into laughter.

Khushi: ''What's so funny?'' (In a strict voice) Chahat nodded negatively and turn her head to other side and mumble to her DM privately in a low voice. Seeing her gaining typical traits of Khushi, she rolled her eyes, not really believing how could she behave like me.

~~~

Nisha: ''This man is really disgusting...he wanted to have sex with me..somehow I grab his phone and contact you from bathroom..he is waiting for me outside.. please do something..I..I can't..save me..please..''

Ananya: ''Nisha..relax..don't panic..I am on opposite side of the building keeping watch on him..he won't dare to harm you until I am here..Okay you do one thing..'' She give one idea and hunk the call. Nisha follow her instructions.

Ananya: ''I have to bring Khushi to this apartment to expose Neev dirty side otherwise she will always misunderstand Arnav all her life..'' She immediately put telescope down through which she is keeping watch on them and then rang on Khushi's number.

''Come on Khushi..pick up the phone..''

Chahat: ''Mumma..?''

Khushi: ''Hmm''

Chahat: ''Your phhone''.. (She said while playing her video game)

Khushi: '' See the name.'' Chahat carry it up and see.

Chahat: ''It's unknown number, Mumma.''

Khushi: ''Then let it ring..firstly go and check why your papa not come out..?''

Chahat: ''It's 15th time you ask me..'' She said with a teasing smile and continue playing game in Papa's mobile. Khushi continue folding her file, unable to concentrate. Her gaze constantly staring back toward the direction of door impatiently. ''If you so bhorry then go inside na and help papa.. See again he call you..

Khushi: ''Why should I..I..go..never..you go..''

Chahat: ''You are his phife..not me..''

Khushi: Never.

Chahat: Then don't eat my head..I am bushey in importnat tashk.

Khushi: ''Shut up and do what I say.'' She first order in a high voice but then lower her voice knowing her stubborn nature. ''Your papa is not well bachha..please go..You are my good girl..haina..''

Chahat: ''Op ho mumma...you are so buddhu behaving as if I am telling you to do kuchikoo in bathroom..

Khushi: ''What the hell! Who taught you this..?''

Chahat: I know everything because I am an intelligent girl.

Khushi: ''Intelligent my foot. Look at me..Chahat..'' She nodded in no, shaking her tiny head. Since her mumma anger not subside, Chahat diverted her attention by alerting her about the phone which is continuously vibrating. ''Do hell with the damn phone and first come here now.''

Chahat: ''No..No..No.. I wanted to cross this level mumma..''

Khushi: ''KEEP YOUR DAD PHONE ASIDE AND COME NOW..''

This time Khushi voice is harsh. Mini Khushi get panic and come near her in a slow baby step. Khushi is about to blast her when her phone rang. Frustrated, she carry her phone and see an unknown number. She was about to answer the call but next moment, she hear a sound from the bathroom.

Arnavvvvv!!

She immediately rushed in the washroom.

Her heart sank to see Arnav lying on the floor in half conscious state. She touch his face. He is burning in a very high fever. He had fainted outside her office and now again. She lead him to the bedroom and safely made him lay on the bed and immediately rang the doctor. After sometime, doctor left prescribing few medicines. After that moment, she never left his side for a second. She cancel all the upcoming meeting, put the phone silent and give full attention to her husband.

~~~

Ananya: ''Oh no! Why Khushi not receiving..Please Khushi just once..please..bas ek baar yaha aa jao..tumhe sab pata chal jayega sach kya hain aur jhoot kya hain.. (You will know everything who is right and who is wrong)

~~~

When Arnav open his eyes, he get astonished to saw the most beautiful sight of his lady love. Khushi is putting warm cloth over his forehead to make him warm. A smile adore his lips and he held her hand.

Arnav: ''Your Arnav is fine, Khushi.'' He said tucking her hair strands. He didn't like tension on her face. He always wanted to see her smiling not like this but unfortunately he became the only reason why she forgot to smile.

Khushi: ''Okay'' She try to move but he held her hand causing her to fall over him. Her breathe hitch by his close proximity.

Arnav: ''Don't go please..'' His small request passes something deep inside her. She slowly get hypnotized by his dark intense gaze. She try to maintain some distance but he tightened his grip around her waist communicating through eye to eye.

Khushi: ''Let me go, Arnav. I have- som-me wo-rk to finishhh.'' She felt weak being so close to him. Her developing feeling getting strong day by day.

''Be with me for a minute..'' She shuddered and gaze him dumb folded. No sooner both drown into each other eyes forgetting everything too numb to their surroundings. When Little one made a dashing entry in the room, she get totally astonished to witness her parents. She watch them with her big rounded eyes unbelievably.

Chahat: Ye shab kya ho laha hain? (What is going on here?) She stamp her foot to gain some attention. But no response.

''Papaaa...mummma...knock knock..''

No response.

''Hey DM what happen to my poor Mumma-papa..why they become phreeze..(She headed toward them and wave her hand in front of their eyes to break their eye lock but they are too lost and dumb to notice her presence. She even shouted loudly near their ears but again no movement. They are watching each other like a statue.

Why they're not reshponding? She couldn't understand what is wrong with them and bite her nails thinking.

She remembers one scene in a movie when the hero and heroine fall in love they watch tukar tukar like this but first time she witness this in real life. But papa says all these movie scenes are phake. It doesn't happens in real liphe?

DM what should I do? How I regain them back? Uff this lobe is so blind..no bhhone lobe me..Did my mumma papa be like this palmenently..did i lost them? Did they died? ''No..noo..mummaaaa..papaaaa utho...uthoo..you can't leabe meee.'' She burst into tears making her own speculations.

Khushi is the first one to break the eye-lock. She get shocked to see herself so close to him and immediately adjust her position. Her attention go back to little one who is crying crazily. Arnav also grew shocked to see her like this. Both exchange glance and call her with concern filled voice..But little one is too busy to complaint to her DM.

Arnav just can't see his Doll like this and try to wake up from bed but Khushi didn't allow him to move an inch. Upon hearing Chahat's speech, they get completely startled and bewildered.

Chahat: Hey DM..why you steal my mumma papa... I want them back..they can't die..you killed them..no..no..no..they can't become ghostt..this is ramanchi..how me libe now..ahhhh..

''Khushi..'' Both said in unison. Little queen get terrified to see them alive and scream out like a scared kitten.

Chahat: Ahhhhhhh........Bhoot..bhoot.. Bachoo..dm bachao.. She begun to inch back and run out of the room scarefully. Arnav chuckle seeing her antics and saw Khushi running behind her to grab mini tufanmail. But little mouse is too fast. Khushi finally give up after getting exhausted and come back to his room defeated..

Arnav: ''You okay?''

Khushi: ''Your kid is so naughty..gosh..'' She said grabbing her tummy as chota packet did gave her tough competition

Arnav: ''Because she got your naughty traits..'' He stated proudly. Her smile faded instantly on hearing that. There is a plain silence between them for a while.. ''Khushi I want to confess something. It's regarding our marriage..''

Does Arnav wanted to leave me? Will he again go back to his first wife? The thought stab her heart.

Arnav: ''Khushi, are you listening or not?''

No! I won't allow him. He can't give chahat to that bitch..Chahat is only mine..I won't give my baby to that chudail..never!

Arnav: ''Khushi..?''

Khushi: ''Shut up! No more talking.'' He opened his mouth to say something very important that probably change their dimension, but she put medicine to his hand and ask him to gulp with milk.

Arnav: ''First let me to..''

Khushi: ''Excuse me.'' She left from there gradually.

Arnav: ''Khushi.'' He breathe harshly and close his eyes feeling remorse. ''I have to tell her anyhow..''

~~~

Nisha: ''As you said I mix sleeping pills in his drink and he drinks it.

Ananya: ''Great.''

Nisha: ''How long we have to continue this drama..'' He may get conscious anytime.

Ananya: ''Wait. Let me try to contact her.''

~~~

Khushi is sitting in her room lost in deep thought. She has no idea where her life is leading. A small drop of tear fell from her right eye. She touches her Mumma diary and keep it near her chest. For a moment she thought Ananya was telling the truth but no. Everything is a lie. Arnav don't love me. He never had. Ananya come back and he wanted to go back to her. He never loved me. He never had. All his love and concern is fake. He only wanted to use me. He wanted to have me on his bed. That's why he married me but now since he is not getting any physical pleasure from our marriage, he wanted to go back to her to fulfill his greed.

Why does it happens to me. Why mumma? Why your cruel DM playing hide and seek with me. What wrong I did that I got such kind of punishment from your idol. Why you left me? Why? You are right this world is not made for me. It is filled with selfish monster.

''Nahi chutki..this is not true..'' Came a familiar voice from behind. A smoke appears and Khushi went froze to see the image of her mother appearing before her eyes.

''Mummaaa...'' Khushi fell on her knees. Tears automatically flooded from her eyes. Her mother rushed toward her and took her into her soothing embrace.

Kavita: ''You are not alone..your mother is with you..always..'' She burst into cries and cry like a small baby. ''Shhhh..don't cry..my chutki is a brave girl..''

Khushi: ''No I am not brave..I try mumma..I try hard to be strong wearing the fascade of Meera. It's getting hard. I had loved him, mumma..I loved him like I loved no-one else in this world even more than you..but he..he cheated me..he insulted my love putting salt into my wounds and made mockery of my feelings tagging me a whore..he used my weakness..my love as his weapon to seek revenge..'' Kavita patted her back, consoling her not to cry and be strong. ''He doesn't love me. He only loves that Ananya.''

Kavita: ''How are you so sure about it?''

Khushi: ''May be he find her more beautiful than me.''

Kavita: ''Or may be he has changed now..maybe this time he is not pretending..may be he is not playing any game and genuinely loves you..''

Khushi: ''Initially I also felt the same. I thought he truly loves me but his real side is what I have witness 5 years ago when he brought second woman between us. I will never forget that night. Images of those painful days still haunting me. I had been his mistress and that Ananya is his wife. Just to give me worst pain of life, he married that Ananya. He had punished me only because i loved him and trusted him blindly. But he cannot fool me again. I will give him worse punishment that he had cause that khushi to wound her.''

Kavita: ''Did he told you that he wanted to leave you?'' She shook her head. ''Did he told you he loves Ananya?'' She again nodded negatively. ''Then why you are assuming things. Who knows he wanted to tell you something-else.''

Khushi: ''About what?''

Kavita: ''For that he have to go and ask him. Come on what are you waiting for....go and ask him."

Khushi: ''But if say he wanted to divorce me?''

Kavita: "According to my general knowledge. You and him are not a real married couple right?" She nodded yes. "Then why my barbie-doll is scared and insecure to loose him?

Khushi: ''That's not true mumma. I hate him. Stop taking your damaad side..''

Kavita: ''Damaad! Hmm..interesting..very very intersting..''

Khushi: ''umm woh....it just a slip of tongue.. (She ignore eye contact)

Kavita: Okay if you say I believe. But you have to promise me. You will not judge him and give him a chance to tell his side of story.'' She nodded weakly. ''That's like my good girl..Okay now I have to go..'' Khushi clutch her hand making her turn.

Khushi: ''No...mumma..please..nooo..''

Kavita: ''I have to..''

Khushi: ''Promise me you will come again.'' She just blink her eyes and Khushi give her a tight hug.

''One last request..''

Kavita: What?

Khushi: ''Can I read your diary?'' Kavita again remain silent. She just stared at her with softness. ''Please mumma. You took promise from me few years ago, I won't read your secret diary but I wanted to know everything about you..I want to know how my papa was..I want to know what you were trying to say during your last..please mumma..

In reply, she just smile and sooner disappears within the smoke.

Mummaaa!

Khushi got up with a jerk. Sweat licked her face. It took her awhile to adjust herself in the surrounding.

Was it really a dream or mumma really..? Her gaze fixated at the dairy lying in a corner. She is in a dilemma. She inhales heavy breathing gaining courage to open it. Atlast she decided what she should do. She open the first page and ready to read it. But on the very moment, she noticed a light flash her screen. She grab her phone. She get startled to see 25 missed called from the same unknown number she got a few moments ago.

Who is calling at this time? It again started irking her. She press the green button and pick it up.

''Chutki..''

Khushi: ''Tum? How dare you to call me.'' Anger rose upon her.

Ananya:: ''Please please don't cut my call and listen to me once. It's very urgent.''

Khushi: ''You think I care.?''

Ananya: ''Come to Neev apartment as early as possible.''

Khushi: ''Are you ordering me?''

Ananya: ''No, a small request from an elder one to her younger sister.''

Khushi(rolling her eyes): ''Not interested.'' With that, she prepares to disconnect.

Ananya: After this, I will never bother you..I swear..I will go far away and never ever show my face to you or Arnav.

Khushi: ''Are you sure?''

Ananya: ''Yes.''

Khushi: ''Okay only once..''

Ananya: ''Come fast I am waiting..''

~~~

Khushi took her handbag and car keys and proceed to go toward the exit but stop and move toward Arnav bedroom. There she saw maid coming out from his room holding plate. She open it and sigh. Food remained untouched. He hadn't had anything and she knows the reason. She watch him from outside but doesn't care to check him.

Maid: "He was only asking for you repeatedly."

Khushi: Mad Raizada! she mumbled. ''Where is Chahat?''

Maid: She went to hang out with her neighborhood friends.

Khushi: Okay listen. I am going out. Will come in half an hour. With that, she started walking away resisting herself from going in his room.

Maid: ''But sir condition is not well.'' The moment Khushi heard this from her side, she quickly stop on her track and broke the walls of hatred. Quickly she walk in his room and shut the door. ''You go home..'' Maid nodded and left locking the main door from duplicate keys.

As soon as she arrived to his room, her heart sank to see his condition. His face turn pale and entire body is chilling.

Khushi: ''Arnav..?'' She reach him and rub him. ''You okay..''

Arnav: ''Not really?'' He give a weak chuckle.

''Shut up you dumb headed....oh god..'' His body is burning like lava. She check his body temperature. It's above the par. She carry her hand to remove her mobile to rang doctor but he shook his head and held her hand possessively.

Arnav: ''Where you had been..I missed you so much..'' His interlock her hands as if his entire life dependent on her. ''I need you for the rest of my life..'' Ignoring him, she brought the food plate and kept on his side.

Khushi: ''Why you hadn't have your food..This is not done..If you behave like a kid, how will you get well..'' He smiles. ''Why you are smiling now?''

Arnav: "I loved it when you scold me. You look cute."

Khushi: ''This is not funny Arnav. You got wet in such a cold climate..who told you to carry that stunt and now look what you have done to yourself''.

Arnav: ''Are you going somewhere..''

Khushi: ''Yes. Have your food and free me.''

Arnav: ''Are you leaving me?'' His face harden. Pain course through his body. Before she could reply, he pull her near and she jerk into his arms with a full force. ''Don't go..please..I can't imagine a second without you..''

Khushi: ''Arnav, I am here..relax'' She console him stroking his back but he is not calming a bit. She could feel his body shivering more.

Arnav: ''Promise?'' She was hesitant to reply. Upon that, she have to reach Neev apartment otherwise that Ananya will again stole Arnav which is the last thing she wanted.

''Tum agar gayi toh main maar..'' She broke apart and put her fingers over his lips.

''Your khushi is right here..with you..hamesha..'' No sooner her finger replaced with her lips and she kissed him passionately. They way she kiss him it's her way to pour out her feelings that he have no right to leave her.

Khushi: ''You are mine..only mine..dare you ditch me for that vile women I will kill yo--.." She stop kissing him sensing no movement from his side. She broke apart and turn to glance him. He is lifeless and she couldn't feel him breathing.

Arnavvv!

Precap: Will she go to meet Ananya or stay with Arnav?
