Part46

Nisha couldn't tolerate Arshi's closeness. She was fuming not only that her curse went in vain but also for Arnav's successful married life. Khushi being more beautiful than her was what killed her more. She wanted to see him getting humiliated in public. She followed them to the shop where they went to buy a bag for Khushi. A nasty idea raised in her mind. She went to the PEN section and asked for a costly pen. She hides it in her bag. She came to Arnav who was selecting a bag for Khushi. She slowly kept it in his jacket pocket and left the place. She stood in distance to see Arnav's drained face when he was getting caught.

After settling the bill Arnav and Khushi came out of the shop. Nisha got confused because the sensor didn't raise the sound. How it was possible? She rushed following them. When she tried to cross the sensor, it started screaming. Nisha stood there getting nothing. She looked here and there. People gathered around her which made her ashamed.

The shopkeeper ordered the lady staff to check Nisha. She removed the same PEN which she kept in Arnav's pocket. Nisha's face drained seeing that.

Nisha (stammering): I just forgot to pay...

Shop keeper: Hey madam, whoever stole things says the same.

Nisha: I didn't steal it. I will pay for it.

Shopkeeper: usually we hand over the person to the police who steal things.

Nisha: I said I didn't steal it. Please trust me.

Shopkeeper: Who are you to me that you are asking me to believe you? We treat every customer the same.

Nisha: I will pay double the amount if you are not ready to believe me.

Somehow the shopkeeper got convinced. He nodded yes and she paid the double amount. She came out of the shop all exhausted. She looked at Khushi who was smiling at her mockingly. She turned her face to the opposite side and calmed herself down. But Khushi was not ready to let her escape. She came in front of her with the same mockery look.

Khushi: Do you know what's BACKFIRING?

Nisha glared at her and was about to go from there, Khushi clutched her upper arms stopping her from doing that.

Khushi: How did you feel when you were being caught? That's what you want Arnav to feel? Your actions should make him feel bad for missing you in his life. Will your action do that? Will he feel bad for missing you if he got to know that you tried to humiliate him? We get everything as per our thoughts. So think better and you will get everything better. And don't you ever dare to do BAD to my Arnav. You have to cross Khushi before doing that.

Nisha left the place silently with her face hung. Khushi left the place smilingly.

Night

Khushi saw Arnav thinking something deeply looking at the ceiling lying on the bed. She came on the bed and touched his chin thinking to tease him.

Khushi: seems like you are thinking to make fun of me?

Arnav nodded no. Khushi felt him being serious.

Khushi: Are you alright?

Arnav: I saw you talking to Nisha.

Khushi stumbled for a second and got back composing herself.

Arnav: Did she try it on me?

Khushi nodded yes.

Arnav: But how did I miss to notice it?

Khushi: You were so much engrossed in selecting my bag that time.

Arnav: Some people will never change. Do you know she hired a man to beat me for refusing her proposal?

Khushi: Really? (he nodded yes) Then?

Arnav: Then what? I and he became friends.

Khushi(chuckled): Really?

Arnav: He is none other than Shakti.

Khushi: That's interesting. Something GOOD is Bad.

Arnav: Exactly. (pause) I like your dialogue.

Khushi: Which one?

Arnav: That "you have to cross Khushi before doing that". It was like a "heroine punch".

Khushi (chuckled): seems like your anger got vanished?

Arnav: Yah... I won't ask you to utter those magical words after now. Say, when you feel to.

Khushi: Are you sure?

Arnav: Words are not needed when actions speak.

Khushi raised her eyebrows like "really?

Arnav: That doesn't mean I will be quiet.

Khushi: There you are...

He drew her beside him.

Arnav: I'm here, beside you, expecting a lot from you.

Khushi: Just yesterday, we lost our sleep for "THAT". So, sleep today.

She said with attitude and was about to turn to the opposite side, Arnav pulled her towards him and captured her lower lips in swift.

Arnav(in between the kiss): Really? Then what will you in our Honeymoon?

Khushi was not in the sense of answering him. In fact, it's not necessary to answer him at all. When action speaks louder, is it necessary to say it by words? They started speaking by action to show how much they love each other.

Next morning

Arnav peeped out from the washroom in a checking manner whether Khushi is there or not. He saw her arranging things in the bag which they bought the previous day. He came behind her without making a sound and hugged her. Khushi jerked at his sudden action.

Khushi: Ouch ... leave me.

He tightened the grip around her waist and kissed her shoulder blade.

Arnav: Say something which I can do.

Khushi: You have to...

Arnav: My wife. Who will ask me?

                                                                            Pic credit: Sara Ali

They heard...

Ratna: Nobody will ask you if you keep the door closed.

Arnav flushed hearing Ratna. Khushi hit his hand which was around her waist. Arnav realized that still, he was holding her. He released his hands and stood getting embarrassed.

Ratna: Dad wants you to meet Mr.Mishra who is in Port Blair.

She gave him his address and phone number. Arnav nodded ok.

Ratna: Call him before going to their house.

Arnav: Where is he leaving?

Ratna: Near Aberdeen Bazar.

Arnav: Ok. Hope he won't compel me to stay there.

Ratna: He may do so.

Arnav: Sorry mom. I will deny him if he asked me to stay at his home (pause) politely.

Ratna knows her son. After all, he is going to enjoy the Honeymoon with his wife.

Ratna: Ok.

Ratna left the room and stopped.

Ratna(without turning): Chinna... continue...

Saying she shut the door and went. Khushi started hitting Arnav gritting her teeth.

Khushi: you made me embarrass in front of aunty.

Arnav (clutching her hand): See, who is saying... didn't you do the same yesterday?

Khushi: I just did that for fun...

Arnav(raising his eyebrows): Ohh... it's just for fun if you do that? (he kissed her nose)

Khushi: Stop talking. Let me do the packing.

Arnav: after all, you are an expert in packing. Won't you do it in an hour?

Khushi: Only if you sit quietly.

Arnav (smirking): What's the urgent? You can do it by taking your time...

He pulled her on him sitting on the bed.

Khushi: Keep something for our honeymoon too.

Arnav: There is a lot of special ITEMS for it. ( he winked)

Khushi: ohh really?

She caressed his hair. Arnav gripped her tighter.

Arnav: don't you dare try to fool me after making me dizzy. It won't happen anymore.

Khushi(chuckled): How did you get my intention?

Arnav: Experience taught me.

He pecked her cheek strong.

Khushi: what are your plans for Andaman? Where will you take me?

Arnav: To the place where we went in our childhood together.

Khushi: That's great. I love Andaman.

Arnav: Me too. It's a lovely place.

Khushi: Will you take me to Cinque Island?

Arnav thought something hearing Cinque Island.

Arnav: Why? Do you want me to ask you "Kaho Na Pyar Hai" like Hrithik Roshan asked Amisha in the movie Kaho na Pyar hai?

Khushi(chuckled): It was a beautiful place I had ever seen.

Arnav: Of course. There is something to show you which I left years ago.

Khushi(frowning): What was that?

Arnav: Let me show you there. Hope you will like it.

Khushi frowned thinking. What was that he left there? She shrugged off her thought and started concentrating on packing. Arnav thought, will it be still there? What if it's not? He sighed.....
