Part 31

Arnav chuckled, seeing Khushi talking to herself so seriously, with so many expressions. She looked at him who was standing with his trademark lopsided smile.

Arnav: It seems, you are fighting with yourself?

Khushi: Do you believe Dhruv?

She asked him without thinking.

Arnav (raising his brows): Why are you asking me?

Khushi: Because I don't believe him.

Arnav: Didn't you see, how he is repenting? He even called you Bhabi...

Khushi: It's all acting...

Arnav: Why are you thinking so?

Khushi: Snake can change its skin but its poisonous nature won't change....

Arnav(seriously): What a philosophy....?

Khushi: Sudden changes can happen only in the old movies...

Arnav (chuckled): Maybe...

Khushi: Don't fall for his acting.

She warned him making him amazed.

Arnav: But, what's necessary for him to act?

Khushi: Because he is suspecting our relationship. He don't like to see us being close. He is acting like a good guy. So we will stop showing our relationship progress to Dhadi. He wants to keep us in distance. That's why.

Arnav: What a great analyzation....?

Khushi: Be careful...

She again warned him. Arnav smiled at her lovingly.

Arnav: I will be careful. But you don't stop pretending to be close to me. Ok? So he will think that we are really good with each other.

He warned her back controlling his smile.

Khushi (biting her nail): Haan... you are right....

She left the room making Arnav chuckle. It seems she is really in confusion. That's why she didn't concentrate that he is teasing. Arnav saw NK entering the room.

NK (panicking): Naanav....

Arnav: What?

NK: Do you think Dhruv changed?

Arnav rolled his eyes...

NK: I don't think so Naanav.... Aman also feels the same...

Arnav: Aman? Is he here?

NK: No... I conveyed him Dhruv's drama.

Arnav: Drama?

NK: Did you forget what Akshay told us?

Arnav: What?

NK: He never forgives anyone easily?

Arnav: He was beaten up brutally. So there is a chance for his change...

NK: Last time also he was beaten up.... He didn't change last time, even after seeing Khushiji as his Bhabi. Then why now?

Arnav: Changes can happen with anyone...

NK: Maybe, but it won't happen with Dhruv....

Arnav: But why he is acting?

NK: To get our support. If he acts like a good boy, we will support him if he got trapped in any problem. That's why.

Arnav: Ohhh...

Arnav smiled inwardly as Khushi and NK are assuming in their own way.

NK: Don't fall into his trap Naanav...

Arnav: We will see. But don't show him that still you are suspecting him. Ok?

NK (sighing): Ok...

Arnav: Show some concern on him. Ask him what he wants. Help him to get recovered.

NK nodded yes and left the room leaving smirking Arnav.

...

Two bottle of saline solution was given to Dhruv as he was so weak. NK sat with him as Arnav advised. Dhadi was continuously feeding him juice side by side. Of course, Dhruv is much better now.

Dhruv: NK... my phone was taken by the goons. Will you get me a new phone and my old number?

NK (nodding yes): Yup.... You will get it by tomorrow.

He dialed someone and arranged his old number. Dhadi looked relieved as Dhruv changed.... NK and Arnav were taking care of Dhruv.... It seems RM will get its joyful life.

Next Morning

After taking plenty of rest and diet, Dhruv got his energy back. NK handed him a new mobile phone and his old number sim card. Dhadi asked him not to sit in the room. In fact, he also wanted to come out of the room. He intentionally went to Arnav's room to give a look. Khushi saw him coming towards their room. She rushed inside hurriedly before he seeing her. Arnav looked at her frowning. Khushi pretended like something went in her eyes. She crushed her eyes hissing.

Arnav(worriedly): What happened?

Khushi: Something went into my eyes...

Arnav: Let me see...

He came close to her and cupped her face. He looked into her eyes and blew gently. Khushi felt like, she is losing her balance. She clutched his shirt and looked at him not blinking. Arnav gulped hard seeing her lost. This girl shows different expressions towards him these days. He caressed the corner of her eyes making her close her eyes. Khushi didn't do it intentionally. Dhruv who crossed their room intentionally saw the scene.

Arnav (caringly): How are you feeling now? Still, is it irritating?

Khushi nodded NO not breaking her gaze from his face.

Arnav rubbed his finger on his palm and kept the warm finger on her eyes. It really soothed Khushi.

Arnav: Is it nice?

Khushi nodded YES and Arnav repeated it a few times. Dhruv left the place, couldn't tolerate the romantic looks which there are showering on each other.

Arnav turned his face towards the door.

Arnav: He left...

That's when Khushi came to the reality that Arnav was doing that for Dhruv to see. She swallowed. Don't know she didn't like the reality. Imaginations are more beautiful than the reality, she supposed. But Arnav's stance tickled her sense.

Arnav: I love Dhruv for keeping me close to my beautiful wife.

He tapped her nose. Khushi smiled inwardly. She supposed to go out, Arnav dragged her to the previous place.

Arnav: Where are you going?

Khushi: To do Pooja...

Arnav: Will you pray something for me too?

Khushi looked at him like, "what?"

Arnav: Will you?

Khushi nodded yes.

Arnav(whispering in her ear): I want my wife... completely... in every sense... it's hell to keep distance from you Khushi...

Khushi got drenched with sweat beads... She was thunderstruck and was looking at Arnav speechlessly. What kind of WISH is this? Is he really want it to happen? Is he really ready to take their relationship to the next level? Arnav became serious seeing her staring at him not blinking. No doubt, he went overbroad. He shouldn't have asked her directly as they haven't started to live a normal life. He left the place living Khushi with mixed feelings.

Khushi was doing Pooja. She didn't keep Arnav's WISH on Devi Maiya's feet but we can't say she didn't think of his wish. Of course, her mind was surrounded by what he asked her. She looked at Devi Maiya's idol. She felt Devi Maiya smiling at her. Khushi pouted at her angrily.

Khushi(in mind): Stop smiling at me Devi Maiya... instead of making fun of me, can't you do anything useful to find out about My husband? Did you hear what he asked me? See, how my body is shivering..... He wants me COMPLETELY... (She bit her nail) I won't let him touch me until I find the truth about his girlfriend. Please... help me to find about her Devi Maiya.... Please do it soon... don't you see, how hard I'm falling for my husband? Before I became possessive on him, please show me a path. I can't hold myself Devi Maiya... please send someone to help me....

She saw Dhruv crossing the Pooja room not looking at her. She frowned at Devi Maiya...

Khushi: I asked you to send a man who can help me. Why are you showing this rough....?

She asked with a pout.

Poor girl, how did she know, this rough is the one who is going to make all their WISHES come true?

To be continued.......

Today's inkitt update

What Dhruv is up to?

Not only Khushi but also Arnav was embarrassed about his direct WISH. He didn't look at Khushi when she entered the room. Doesn't mean he kept his eyes glued only on the laptop screen. He stole her glance and understood that she is also uncomfortable. Why not? If he feels uncomfortable, she must be more uncomfortable than him. He smiled inwardly.
