Part26 Three men Army

Shashi Gupta got discharged from the hospital. Arnav brought Guptas to GH along with Khushi. He stopped the car and helped them to make Shashi sit on the wheelchair. Khushi opened the door and got stuck, seeing Shashi's old cot being kept in the living room, dismantled.

Arnav kept it in the living room as he didn't know what he has to do. Guptas may have sentiments with the cot. So he didn't feel to take it out of GH, without their permission.

Khushi (looking at Arnav): What have you done? Why did you dismantle Babuji's cot? Where Babuji will sleep?

Garima and Buaji also got confused. Composing herself, Garima pulled Shashi's chair towards his room. She was aghast seeing a new, costly king size bed and also an Air conditioner. Khushi who followed Garima also was in the same state.

Arnav: The old bed was shaking... I thought it won't be comfortable for Babuji. That's why I have changed it.

Garima: But... It seems very costly...

Buaji: Haan babuwa, what's necessary to spend money? We would have repaired the old cot...

Arnav: What's the use of money if it's not to be spent for the right reason? Babuji is a patient. He should be in a good environment. Then only we can expect improvement in his health. (Pause) And... It's just a matter of money...

Garima: And AC is new to him. We never used it before.

Arnav: Get used to it. It's just one TON AC. You can adjust its cooling.

Taking the remote, he showed, how to use it.

Arnav: Don't be hesitant to ask me anything. I will be happy if you treat me like, I'm one among you.

We can't say what was Garima and Buaji's state. The women who left without helping hand got warm of support. They nodded ok all smiling. Arnav helped Garima to shift Shashi Gupta to bed.

Khushi was struggling to take her eyes from Arnav's face. She felt her heart is overpowering her mind. How could she if her husband is so good?

Arnav left the room, leaving Gupta ladies all delighted.

Garima: Our bitiya is so lucky to have such a husband Jeeji.

Buaji: Undoubtedly. I thought very wrong about him at first. Thanks to Nandkishore... He is not what I thought.

Khushi was suffocating. She didn't find any flaws in Arnav's behaviour.

Khushi(in mind): Why this man is so good? I like him so much but he is not mine... (looking up) Hey Devi Maiya... why did you tie him with me and why did you let me know about his past? This is not fair Devi Maiya... What do I do now? (pause) you have to find the girl at any cost, as soon as possible Khushi. Or else, no one will save you from falling for him. (she bit her nail nervously) Falling for him? What stupidity is this Khushi? Try to explain it to your crazy heart that he belongs to someone.

Arnav was checking mail. Khushi entered into her room and stood hesitating. Arnav raised his head and looked at her.

Arnav: Do you want to say something?

Khushi(bowing down): Mmmm

Arnav: Tell me...

Khushi: Thanks...

Arnav: I don't want your Thanks.

Khushi looked at him pouting.

Arnav: But you can give me something.

Khushi: What do you want?

Arnav: I'm sure, you won't give me.

Khushi: tell me first...

Arnav came close to her and showed his cheek. Khushi's eyes popped out. She pushed him and stood getting nervous.

Arnav: Didn't I say, you won't....?

As Khushi didn't expect, Arnav gave her shock, kissing her cheek gently. Khushi went numb completely.

Arnav: Keep it...

He went back to his laptop smilingly. Khushi stood blinking her eyes gulping, touching her cheek. Her lips spread an adorable smile unknowingly. She came to reality when Garima knocked on the door.

Garima: Arnav babuwa, what will you eat for dinner?

Arnav: Anything... lightly.

Garima: Ok...

Garima went to the kitchen and we don't have to say that Khushi followed her, escaping from Arnav.

Night

After completing dinner, Khushi went to Shashi's room and Arnav expected it. He came to the room and turned the AC on.

Khushi was sitting with Shashi who was sleeping.

Garima: Khushi, you go to your room.

Khushi: I will go a little later.

Garima: It's already late. Your husband will be waiting for you. Go...

Khushi: I'm always with him. Let me spend with you guys.

Garima: You were with us in the morning. Now you are not allowed to be here. Go.

Khushi pouted angrily and left the room. She stopped at the doorstep as something his her head.

"Where will she sleep? In RM, Arnav slept on the recliner but what about here?"

She peeped in slowly. Arnav was on call. It seemed Aman because that call was about AR... deal... contract... She went to the cupboard casually as if, she is not thinking about anything. Taking her casual dress, she left to the washroom. Arnav finished the call and saw her coming changes. He sat on the bed edge.

Khushi: You sleep on the bed. I will sleep on the floor.

Arnav: Ok... but cover yourself tightly. Because I had seen some RATS roaming here and there casually. They may bite you.

Khushi bit her nail fearfully. Yes... She knew, there are many rats in GH. But she didn't know that GH was pesticide.

Arnav: We can share a bed if you have no problem.

Khushi nodded ok without thinking. Arnav is better than Rats. She supposed.

She took the left side and lied down closing her eyes. But she felt a strong gaze is swallowing her. She turned the opposite side to control her heartbeat. After a while, she slept as she didn't get proper sleep in the precious days.

Arnav opened his eyes, feeling the weight on his hip. He saw Khushi's leg on him. He chuckled. She was rolling in the bed. In that, Arnav got a few strong kicks in his stomach. He doubted that either she is really sleeping or kicking him intentionally. But nope. She was in deep sleep. Arnav had no choice other than arresting her. He locked her legs by his and hugged her tightly.

He hugged her to save himself from the kicks to get sleep but he didn't get any sleep that night. He felt like, he was hugging a buffy foam bed. He closed his eyes smilingly. After midnight, he falls asleep couldn't control.

..........

Dhruv was laying on the bench. Few men; who TAKING CARE of him were standing around him. A man sprinkled water on his face but there was no movement on Dhruv's face.

Man1: What can we do now?

Man2: I have called Laalan. He is on the way. He will say what should be done.

Dhruv was laying, catching his breath. It was not that easy to stay without movement for hours. He wants to know, who kidnapped him. He was acting like, he is unconscious, without caring about food to make them believe. He has to know the truth that whose hand is behind him.

At the same time, Laalan entered into the underground floor.

Laalan: What happened to him?

Man1: He is unconscious. There is no movement in his body.

Man2: I think we can bury him. Then all the problem will be solved.

Dhruv shivered inside. Seems like, all his effort will go in vain. But Laalan's answer calmed him down.

Laalan: No. we can't.

Man1: But why? You said, we have to finish him?

Laalan: I have three kinds of orders.

Man2: Three kinds of orders?

Laalan: From three men.

Dhruv shocked. Three men? Who are they? He thought that no one can control him. He didn't expect many people who want to take revenge on him.

Man1: What do you say?

Laalan: Yes. But those men don't know that two more persons are involved in this. Each of them is thinking that they are doing this individually.

Man1: They know one another?

Laalan: Very well. They always stay together.

Dhruv squeezed his mind. He recollected all the tree men army, in his friend's list.

Man1: But last time, you didn't say that?

Laalan: Last time, it was only one person. This time two persons joined him, without the first person's knowledge.

Man2: What are their orders?

Laalan: The first person wants us to beat him black and blue more than last time. The second one, never wants him to come out of this place. And the third one doesn't want him to be alive.

Dhruv confirmed that the man who kidnapped him last time is one among these three.

Man1:Diddododododododododododododododododon'ton't you say them about the other two?

Laalan: No. they want it to be secret.

Man2: But who are the other two persons?

Laalan told them the names...

Dhruv's shock was not estimated hearing the names. He controlled himself from fisting his fingers. They were none other than NK and Aman.

To be continued...

Today's Inkitt update

Dedication

Dhruv's anger rose into no limits. He always was cautious about Aman and NK because these two's loyalty for Arnav is incomparable. He recollected Laalan's conversation with a man.

"Man1: They know one another?

Laalan: Very well. They always stay together."

After remembering this stance, it was not hard for Dhruv to guess, who the first person was.
