Part22

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 uses Dhadi, who is Dhruv's key to 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 idea.

Subhadra Raizada got glued at the same place, seeing Khushi working in the kitchen. Adding to it, Khushi was preparing Arnav's favourite food items. Khushi sensed that Dhadi was there. She continued her work as if she didn't see Dhadi.

Khushi: Hariprakashji, give me a sugar-free box.

HP passed her the sugar-free box. She turned around to take that and saw Dhadi standing at the entrance. She smiled at her and continued mixing sugar-free in the keer. Dhadi came to her.

Dhadi: Are you preparing keer for Arnav?

Khushi: Jee, Dhadiji. I didn't make it on my pehla Rasui. So, I thought to prepare it for Arnavji.

Dhadi: I'm happy that you have adopted the reality.

Khushi: How won't I be Dhadiji, when I got a husband like Arnavji? He is so caring and lovable...

Dhadi nodded yes.

Khushi: Will you taste it?

Dhadi: Why not?

She took a spoon and tasted it.

Dhadi: It tastes very good. Go and give him the keer.

Taking the keer, Khushi left the kitchen, thinking proud of herself. When she came to the living room, she saw Arnav getting down from the stairs. She got rooted in seeing him as she didn't expect him there.

Arnav: Hi... what's that?

He came to her and saw keer in the bowl.

Arnav: What's special today, that you made keer?

Khushi looked at the kitchen entrance where Dhadi was standing smilingly. Khushi smiled at him awkwardly.

Arnav: Is it for me?

Khushi nodded yes hesitatingly.

Arnav: Wow... sweet from my sweetheart...? Not bad.

He took a spoon full of keer and tasted it.

Arnav: Great.

He took another spoon and ate it.

Arnav: I have to give something to the arms which made this keer.

He lifted her hand and kissed her knuckle making her flinch. Without taking it seriously, Arnav made her sit on the couch.

He started feeding her the keer. Khushi gulped it without any choice. A little keer got stuck at the corner of her lip. As she didn't expect, Arnav wiped it by his thumb and licked it. Khushi's eyes popped out by his act.

Arnav: This keer became tastier, after touching your lips.

They heard cough sound. Arnav turned around and saw Dhadi smiling at them. He raised his eyebrows as if, he didn't aware of her presence.

Arnav: Ohhh actually Dhadi, I didn't see you...

Dhadi: It happens when we are so much into something.

She went smilingly. Khushi felt like crying. Why all her plans are backfiring like this? She stood and slammed her foot sulking. Her leg got twisted by the carpet. She missed her balance and Arnav held her shoulder before she fell. Khushi thought to detach from Arnav. But she stopped hearing Dhruv's voice. He came towards them rushing.

Dhruv: What happened Khushi?

Though Arnav's jaw tightened he got relaxed seeing Khushi's jaw also got tightened. He waited for the result not reacting. Khushi circled Arnav's neck looking at Dhruv.

Khushi: My leg twisted Arnavji. Will you help me to go to our room?

That's it. Who misses the chance? Arnav? As the duo didn't expect, He scooped her in his arms. Not only Dhruv but also Khushi didn't expect the twist. Khushi thought that he will give her shoulder supportively to walk. But she never knew that he will use the chance like this.

Arnav headed towards their room all smiling. Dhruv felt a touch on his back. He saw Dhadi standing.

Dhadi: See... how Arnav and Khushi are equally showing interest to work on their relationship...That's what the effect of marriage is. It can change minds. It makes people understand one another as well as reality.

Dhruv stood speechless. He didn't expect this twist too.

Dhadi: Hope you understand. Arnav is a good person. He will do everything to his beloved ones. But if they touch his bad nerve, then he will lose his control. Khushi is his wife and he loves her very much. Don't forget that.

Dhruv: why I'm thinking that they are acting in front of us?

Dhadi: Really? Let's go.

She clutched his hand and dragged towards Arnav's room.

........

Arnav put Khushi on the recliner. Khushi switched her gaze and found Dhadi's saree behind the door. She gritted her teeth. This Dhruv... Won't he leave her in peace? What kind of creature he is?

Arnav: Wait. I will massage your ankle.

Khushi (surprised): Massage? Will you?

Arnav (smiling): there are many hidden talents inside me.

Khushi (hesitatingly): No Arnavji. It's not raining heavily.

Arnav: Not heavily but it's paining... right?

Khushi was silent. She didn't feel pain at all. But now, she couldn't stop him. It may lead them to arguments which she didn't want to happen in front of Dhadi.

Arnav removed a gel from the cupboard. He sat on the tea table and took Khushi's leg on his thigh. Taking a little gel, he applied it on her ankle and massaged it softly.

For the first time, Khushi so much yearned to get this man as her husband. Of course, she got him as her husband but she couldn't accept him as her husband because a good man like Arnav should get what he wants. He should get his love lady in his life. How sweet this man is?

Arnav slowly looked at her, sensing her constant rooted gaze on him.

Khushi: Would you do this for everyone?

Arnav: Only for my wife.

Khushi: Actually, it's embarrassing to see you touching my palm.

Arnav: there is nothing to be embarrassed. The husband should touch the wife's feet at any cost. Don't you know that?

Khushi felt a few butterflies in her stomach. In that, she didn't even recognise that Dhadi left the place.

Khushi: Arnavji...enough. Your hand will pain.

Arnav: I'm touching a flower, not a rock.

He said, looking at her feet while caressing it adoringly. It tickled her sense as if his touch spreading all over her body. She felt like, she is getting addicted to his floral touch. Gulping hard, she tried to pull her leg. Arnav's grip became stronger.

Arnav: Wait. I haven't completed yet.

Khushi: I'm feeling better Arnavji.

Arnav: Are you sure?

Khushi: Jee.

She stood and saw whether Dhadi is there or not. She sighed not finding her.

Arnav held her pallu and she pulled back. She fell on Arnav's lap. In no time, Arnav hugged her waist from behind.

Khushi: Arnavji leaves me.

Arnav: Why?

Khushi: It's embarrassing me like hell.

Arnav: Arrey, I told you, you don't have to be.

Khushi: Leave me first.

Arnav: Why are you like this? Think that, how lovingly I massaged your ankle...

Khushi: I let you do that because Dhadi was watching us.

Arnav: I don't care who is watching.

He gripped her more saying that. Khushi felt like she was on the fire. It was so embarrassing to be sitting on his lap. And adding to it, he was circling her waist tightly. After a long struggle, Khushi leaned on his shoulder panting, couldn't do anything. Arnav removed hair strands from her cheek and pecked softly.

Khushi again tried to get out of his arms.

Khushi: Why are you doing this?

Arnav: Because you are my wife.

Khushi: I haven't accepted you as my husband.

Arnav: I can't wait until then.

Khushi glared at him gritting her teeth.

Arnav: Do you know, how beautiful you are?

Khushi (rolling her eyes): I don't know.

Arnav: Let me explain...

Khushi: stop... I said stop...

Arnav: I haven't started yet.

Khushi: Please leave me Arnavji...

She pleaded. Arnav loosened his grip. Khushi ran out of the room.

Arnav thought about how Dhruv came to help Khushi, without hesitation, when he was with her. He removed his phone and dialled Dhruv's friend Akshay while opening his laptop. Akshay received it in the second ring. He instructed Akshey that what he should do. Akshay agreed and disconnected the call. Arnav waited for their call. Their phone was being hacked and Akshaya doesn't know it. Whenever Akshay calls Dhruv, Arnav will also receive the ring and hears their talks.

In a few seconds, Arnav received a ring.

Today's Inkitt update

Dhruv Won't change

Arnav waited until Dhruv attended it.

Akshay: Hi buddy...

Dhruv: Where the hell was you? Just now you remembered me?

Akshay: Arrey, didn't I say that I'm going to my village to perform my Dhada's final rituals? Just today morning, I came yaar.

Dhruv: No one told you, what happened here?

Akshay: I have lost my mobile. So I got disconnected from everyone. I didn't even have time to get my old number. You are the first person, I'm calling after getting my number.
