Part 36

In the Meanwhile...

AR

Arnav was having black coffee as he has to go to the conference.

Dhadi called Arnav.

Arnav: Yeah... tell me Dhadi...

Dhadi: I'm going to Satsang.

Arnav: Why suddenly? You didn't say me in the morning?

Dhadi: Dhruv told me as he had seen the banner near the Airport.

Arnav: Ohhh...

Dhadi: I will be late tonight. Try to reach home soon.

Arnav: I will.

Dhadi: Don't wait for me. I have a spare key.

Arnav: Ok dhadi.

Dhadi: Ok bye.

Arnav cut the call and dialled Khushi's number. He frowned as it was switched off. He dialled landline number and it was out of order which made Arnav nervous. The coffee cup got slipped from his hands and the coffee spilt on his coat and tie. He dialled HP's number while removing his coat and tie. HP received it in a second ring. Arnav sighed in relief.

HP: Jee Arnav Baba...

Before started talking, Arnav heard horn sound...

Arnav: Where are you?

HP: On the way to Indira Nagar.

Arnav (frowning): Indira Nagar? But why?

HP: Dhruv baba asked me to hand over his Tab to his friend.

Arnav (gritting his teeth): But, Khushi is alone at home.

HP: He said, you left AR and will reach home soon. So that I left RM.

Arnav got alarmed. Something is surely wrong. He took his car key while calling Aman through his phone. When he opened his cabin door, Aman himself was standing there with NK fully prepared for the conference.

Aman: We are ready ASR.

Arnav (running towards the parking lot): Postpone or cancel the conference.

NK (following him): What's wrong Naanv?

Arnav: I have no time to say, anything guys. I have to go home. Khushi is alone at home.

Aman: So what?

Arnav: Dhruv had sent Dhadi to Satsang and HP to Indira Nagar. I'm sure something is wrong.

Saying he rushed to the car. Aman and NK spared a content look and they also ran behind Arnav.

RM

Dhruv advanced Khushi who was pressing her head. That's when he heard Arnav's voice...

Arnav (shouting): Khushiiii.....

Dhruv got alert.

Dhruv(slamming his feet on the floor): Damn this Arnav... How did he come here?

He searched for something to hit Arnav. But, he got stuck hearing a few more footsteps. He sharpened his ears and heard. He sighed in frustration hearing NK's voice.

NK: Aman, go and check in the kitchen.

Dhruv: Damn these three...

Without any choice left, Dhruv ran out of Arshi's room, opening the French door.

Arnav and NK came to the room and saw Khushi sitting on the bed pressing her head, closing her eyes tightly. They sighed in relief.

Arnav (gritting his teeth): It seems, he made her consume the drug.

NK nodded yes angrily.

NK: Naanav, You know the effect of the drug.

Arnav tightened his jaws.

NK: Be with bhabi. Don't leave her alone. I and Aman will go searching for him.

Arnav nodded yes. NK rushed out, closing the door. Arnav ran his eyes all over the room. He saw Khushi's shawl lying on the floor. He checked behind the curtains, washroom, and cupboard. Dhruv was nowhere.

In the meanwhile...

Aman saw Dhruv from the balcony. He was running through the backside door. He fisted his fingers in extreme wrath. NK reached him and he also saw Dhruv getting inside the car.

NK: I'm ashamed of calling him, my brother. I never thought he will stoop so low. How did he do this, forgetting that she is our BHABI?

Aman(frowning): What he did?

NK: He made Bhabi consume the same drug.

Aman(with extreme anger): How dare he?

NK: I will kill him if I catch him.

Aman made few calls... to the commissioner... To Lallan... and his detective Rohan. He didn't want him to escape at any cost. So, he tightened the grip around Dhruv in every angle.

Aman: Come, we have to ask ASR his further plan.

NK: I think, you did, what should be done.

Aman: Those are formal steps that have to be done. We have to let ASR know it.

NK stopped him.

NK: We will... but not now.

Aman: But why?

NK: Bhabi had the drug.

Aman: Yeah... So?

NK: Did you forget what Akshay told us about the drug?

Aman scrunched his brows.

NK: That, there is no antidote for this drug? We could do nothing, taking Khushi Bhabi to the hospital. She has already lost her sense. We don't know, what she will do in the drug effect and how she will behave. What if she does anything unpleasant in front of people?

Aman: You are right. What could we do?

NK: Let Naanav handle Bhabi... As a husband, only he can handle her.

Aman's face lit instantly.

Aman: You mean....?

NK: Exactly that's what I mean.

Aman: What will you answer to ASR?

NK: Let Naanv think, we went chasing Dhruv.

Aman: But what if he comes out, searching for us?

NK: He won't leave Bhabi alone in this state.

Aman: Excellent.

NK sat inside the car, asking Aman to sit beside him. Aman sat smilingly, removing his favourite imported chips packet form the dashboard.

In Arshi room

Arnav saw Khushi rubbing her face. She fisted her fingers gritting her teeth letting out a strong moan. Arnav lifted Khushi by her shoulders.

Arnav: Khushi what's happening to you?

Khushi squeezed her eyes and saw Arnav.

Khushi: Arnavji... Something unbearable is happening to me. My body is heating up. My nerves are tightening like, it will blast anytime.

Arnav could see, she is going through some kind of torture. Next second, as Arnav didn't expect, she hugged him tightly. Arnav could feel her strength through the hug. He tried to get apart from her which he couldn't do easily. Her hold became tighter. She started caressing his back while rubbing her face on his chest, with a moan, giving tough time to Arnav.

Arnav: Kh...Khushi...

Khushi: Arnavji, hug me... caress my body...

It was indeed an order.

Arnav: Khushi...listen...

"Listen"? Nope. She was not in the condition to listen to anything. Arnav broke the hug after putting full effort. Though Arnav broke the hug Khushi didn't leave his shirt. Arnav clutched her hands, stopping her from hugging him again.

Arnav: Khushi, let's go to the hospital. Everything will be alright.

He took his mobile out from his pant pocket. Khushi snatched his phone and threw it on the bed. She looked at him irritatingly.

Khushi (shouting): Arnavji helps me to get rid of the pain. I can't tolerate it. My body is burning.

She took his hand and kept it on her cheek. Yes, it was burning. Arnav felt bad for her. What a condition this girl is undergoing?

Arnav(cupping her face): Khushi relax. I'm here for you. ok...?

Not giving heed to his words, Khushi clutched his hands which were holding her face. She pulled them down to make him touch her upper body. Arnav pulled his hands as if, he has touched FIRE. Khushi got annoyed by his "not interested action".

Khushi (clutching his shirt): Why don't you understand what I want? It's so painful Arnavji.....I can't bear the damn pain.

She pulled his shirt and his shirt buttons got scattered all over the room, revealing his bare chest. She ran here and there searching for something. Her eyes fell on the knife which is laying in the corner of the room. She rushed towards it. Within a jiffy, she took it and tried to stab herself.

To be continued...

Today's Inkitt update.

Situational prisoner 

Arnav got horrified seeing, Khushi trying to stab herself.

Arnav: Khushiiiiiii...

He reached her in a jiffy. Before she did anything stupid, Arnav held her hand and tried to snatch the knife from her hand. But Khushi was not ready to leave it that easily.

Arnav: Khushi listens to me... I will take you to the hospital. Compose yourself.

Arnav took the knife from her hand and threw it under the bed. Khushi's anger rose into no limits. She began to hit him on his chest violently, screaming...
