Part 21

Khushi's stomach churned seeing Arnav. And his teasing smile.... Damn...

When Arnav heard, Khushi's talks about HIM, he frowned. Why she is lying to this extend? With whom she is talking?

He ran his eyes and saw a shadow behind the tree. So MADAM is pouring oil in fire...?

He suppressed his chuckle. Isn't it a great chance for him? What will she do now if he get close to her? Neither she could run nor will she stop him. Because Dhruv is here.... In front of Dhruv, she has to be quiet.

Khushi widened her eyes, when Arnav took steps towards her. Before she take a step backwards, Arnav reached her in a jiffy and circled her waist, making her shattered.

Khushi looked at the tree, where Dhruv is hiding. Of course he is still there. She gulped couldn't do anything.

Arnav: I heard girls are not less than BBC because they spread all the news very fast. I didn't believe it then. But now, I really do. Would you share those kind of matters with your friends? You can flaunt, saying something about your husband than this. Especially the one, which I did last night. Because your friends will get jealous on you if you do propaganda about your husband's talent. Keep those sweet happenings in between us. But I'm happy that I made you feel proud in that matter. Should say, you are so bold... in EVERYTHING (he stressed) Be it stabbing someone, be it loving your husband.....

Khushi looked at him angrily.

Arnav (Not giving heed to her angry look): Am I looking super handsome? I'm really honoured darling. And you too look so beautiful.

He caressed his cheek with her's. Khushi gripped his shirt and closed her eyes tightly frowning. Cupping her face, Arnav pecked her forehead. Khushi opened her eyes getting bewildered. He picked her up in his arms giving her another shock. Khushi clutched his collar as usual but with nervousness. Getting inside the room, he closed the door as well as curtains. Khushi pushed him in anger.

Khushi: What the hell are you doing?

Arnav: What I did?

Khushi: Why are you behaving with me romantically?

Arnav: Which one are you talking about? The last night one, or, the one, which happened few minutes ago?

Khushi: Last night? Nothing happened like that and you know that very well.

Arnav: Arrey... you are the one who told so...

Khushi: I told that to irritate Dhruv....

Arnav: Dhruv?

Khushi: He was behind the tree....

Arnav: So what if he was behind the tree?

Khushi: Yesterday, he tried to frame my character wrong. So I thought to irritate him.

Arnav: Ohhh... but how do I know that? You should have told me your plan.

Khushi: Then why did you acted like, it really happened between us?

Arnav: I think, I had done that in my sleep unknowingly and you liked my act a lot.

Khushi (dropping her jaws): You are so mean....

Arnav: of course I'm...

Khushi: see, I got to know about you. Don't you dare touch me.

She said in the meaning of, she knew about his LOVE. Arnav didn't take it seriously as "hating Raizadas" is what Khushi's HOBBY.

Arnav: I too got to know about you... that you are so naughty.

He pinched her nose smilingly. Khushi shrugged his hand off.

Arnav: Hey... why are you not going to your Mayka?

Khushi went silent.

Arnav: Will you go if I accompany you?

Khushi hit her forehead irritatingly.

Arnav: I know you are angry with them as they forced you for this marriage. But, you can switch your angry mode, after "the change of Groom" fiasco...

Khushi: Did I ask your advice? (Arnav nodded no teasingly) So, just stay away from my personal issues.

Arnav: Until when?

He asked seriously.

Khushi: Until I accept you as my husband.

Arnav: Thanks...

Khushi: Why?

Arnav: As you fixed my goal I will reach it easily.

Khushi (sarcastically): Easily? Really?

Arnav nodded yes folding his lips.

Khushi: Stop day dreaming.

Widening her eyes, she said that gritting her teeth. Arnav smiled at her cute expression.

.....

Dhruv was in extreme confusion. The way Arnav talked with Khushi made him frustrated like ever before. He never imagined that Arnav could be so romantic. If he behaves like this, no doubt, Khushi will easily fall for him. But seems like, she had already fallen for him... Didn't NK and Aman say that Arnav loves someone? Why he is behind Khushi then? And this Khushi... Seems like, Arnav's LOVE doesn't make any difference in her mind. Are they really happy? Did Khushi accept Arnav? Did Arnav forget his "love" seeing Khushi's beauty? And Khushi ignored his love matter seeing Arnav's wealth? What the hell is this? He thought something and left.

Dhruv saw Aman coming with a file. Aman went to Arnav's room. He saw Khushi sitting on the bed.

Aman: Good Morning Bhabi...

Khushi tuned her face without responding. Then suddenly, a thought hit her mind. Her face lit, why not she ask Aman about Arnav's love? She smiled at him making him amazed.

Aman (in mind): What happened to her suddenly?

He grinned at her didn't want to miss the chance. Khushi was about to ask him, She zipped her mouth seeing Arnav entering.

Arnav: Yeah... Aman?

Aman: This file needs your signature. So I came to get it as you are not going to come to AR today.

Arnav: Yup...

He took the file and signed. Khushi gulped hearing that. Will he be at home today? Hey Devi Maiya... inside the room Arnav... outside the room Dhruv.... What will she do? Comparing to Arnav, it's very easy to handle Dhruv. She went outside.

After a while, she saw Aman going towards NK's room. She was excited. This is the good chance to ask them about Arnav's love. They will surely tell her the truth. She thought to go to NK's room but stopped seeing Dhruv going in the same direction. Why he is going to NK's room? Will he ask them about Arnav's love? Is he also in confusion seeing Arnav behaving so romantic with her? She became more curious. She waited until Dhruv entering inside. She stood leaning on the wall hearing their talks.

NK and Aman also got confused seeing him.

Aman: How are you now? Hope you got rid of your pain?

Dhruv nodded yes.

Dhruv: I want to ask you something.

Aman and NK spared a glance.

Dhruv: Why did Arnav marry Khushi?

Aman: Don't you know? Because of you, he married her...

NK: Yeah... you ran with your girlfriend on the day then what can we do?

Aman: do you know how people spitted on your Dhadi?

Dhruv: But, doesn't Arnav love someone?

Aman and NK looked at each other getting perplexed. How Dhruv knew that?

Aman: SOMEONE?

NK pressed his shoulders.

NK: How do you know?

Dhruv: I heard you both were talking about it.

Aman gestured NK through his eyes. NK gestured him back like "go ahead"

Aman: Ohhh.... Don't ask that... it's a kind of love... no one can imagine. Like, DIVINE type...

Dhruv: Then, why the hell he agreed to marry Khushi?

Aman: He married to her because you left her.

NK: To save our family reputation, Naanav married Khushiji.

Dhruv: Who is that girl?

NK and Aman burst out laughing, making Dhruv irritated.

Dhruv: Why you guys are laughing?

Aman: Arrey, leave that yaar. It's past. He is family man now. He is all set to enjoy his life with his wife.

Dhruv: Doesn't he care about the girl he loves?

NK: Of course he does....

Aman shared a high-five laughingly as they were enjoying Dhruv's helplessness.

Dhruv: What about Khushi then?

NK: you don't have to bother about her. She is his wife. He will take care of her.

Aman: Yeah... he looks so happy with her.

NK: He will make Khushiji also happy.

Aman: Yeah... today also he is not coming to AR as he wanted to spend time with his wife.

Dhruv: Have you seen the girl?

Aman: Ohh yes... She looks so beautiful...

NK: As same as Khushiji...

Aman: So fair...

NK: As same as Khushiji...

Dhruv: But he has all the right to live his life with the girl he likes.

NK: You are right. It seems, he likes Khushiji very much and he is all set to live his life with her.

Aman: He will never let this family name go down. Understand that. What do think of ASR? Don't you know his reputation in the society? His personal life is on limelight. He worked hard to reach this place. Don't forget that. So stop talking about Arnav and Khushi.

His tone echoed kind of warning to Dhruv.

Khushi; who heard their talks left the place slowly. So Dhruv was not lying. Arnav loved someone. He left the girl to save his family reputation. That's why he said nothing when Dhadi asked him to marry her. Poor Arnavji. He is working hard to make this marriage work. What should she do now? She was hell confused....

Poor Khushi. How did she know, in the processes of making Dhruv an idiot, NK and Aman also became idiots, unaware of Khushi's presence?

Today's inkitt update

Targeting Dhadi

Khushi was in deep thought about Arnav's LOVE LADY. She has to do something to make him get his LOVE. On the other hand, this Dhruv.... She couldn't get Arnav's help to tackle him. Because Arnav is so much interested to make this relationship work. He will use every chance to get her close. So, she has to change her way of dealing Dhruv. What if she use Dhadi, who is Dhruv's key of control? Dhruv wants to prove Dhadi that their marriage is not going good. So, leaving everything behind, she has to concentrate to get Dhadi's attention. And side by side, she could get rid of Dhruv as well as Arnav. She appreciated her own idea.
