Part 45 Conclusion

Arnav and Khushi stood looking at each other as they were not ready for the situation. Khushi sat on the couch and read the notice again. Arnav was looking at her silently without disturbing her. He gave her time to think. After a while, Khushi looked at him.

"What's this for, Khushi?" Arnav asked.

"Reaction of my denial," she said calmly.

"You mean...?"

"This is a kind of threat. They think they will make me sign the documents if they demand Abhi from me this way" she gritted her teeth.

"What are you going to do?"

"I don't know. My mind is not working. I need time. Let me think..." she said.

Arnav nodded yes. Khushi took a step and stood, feeling a tug in her hand. She saw Arnav clutching her hand. She looked at him questioningly.

"Whatever... I will be with you" he said in a consoling manner.

"I know," Khushi said, spreading a smile on his face.

"Shall I search for a good lawyer?"

"Let me think... I will tell you what to do"

Arnav nodded ok.

"Khushi, how do they prove Abhi is their heir? The hospital met with a fire accident and the documents burnt into ashes..."

Khushi nodded yes.

"Yeah... it is a big blow to them. Who could expect the hospital would meet with a fire accident? It's a miracle" Khushi said.

"Do you think it's favoring us?"

"Undoubtedly... no one could prove Abhi as Test Tube baby. No doctor could remember us because they are meeting a lot of people every day. Only Sushma Di and Preeto are the known persons"

Arnav nodded yes affirmatively. Khushi went to their room and lay on the bed, thinking about the issue. Of course, she somewhat expected this because she knew them. But the fire accident was even a surprise for her. Don't know what could she name this. What would be her Ex-in-laws' reaction if they got to know about the fire accident? What will be their reaction after knowing about the fire accident? They will find a new way to hit Khushi. Before them doing that, she had to do something. She called Arnav by phone. Arnav entered the room and kept his mobile on the table. Khushi sat on the bed, seeing him.

"Did you get anything?" he asked.

She nodded yes.

Arnav sat on the bed, facing Khushi.

"What are you going to do?" he asked the same question again.

"What do you want me to do?"

"You can do whatever you want. I don't have any problem if you sign the documents"

"I too don't have any problem signing the document. But now, I don't. They will think I'm scared if I sign" Khushi said with attitude.

Arnav smiled.

"Ok, then, I will arrange for a good lawyer if you want to meet them in the court"

"No... I don't want to meet them in court. In fact, they themselves won't go to the court anymore"

Arnav looked at her confusingly.

"Do you think so?"

"The only evidence to prove Abhi as test tube baby got destroyed. Then how will they prove Abhi as a test-tube baby? They themselves destroyed the wedding certificate and wedding album. Then how will they prove I'm their daughter-in-law?"

"But, they knew Abhi is test tube baby... and their relatives knew you are Aditiya's wife"

"So what? The court needs proof. They don't have any because the court won't accept relative's proof"

"What are you going to do?"

"I will say Abhi is your son," she said calmly.

Arnav was stuck.

"They won't believe that"

"I will provide a DNA test... then they have to believe it"

"Khushi... I think you are not understanding the risk factor... they won't trust the story that Abhi spread in Delhi... they will raise their finger on your character"

"They can't..."

"But why?"

"I have an idea"

"Is it necessary to take the risk?"

"Yes, we have to... because I don't want Abhi to know he is a test tube baby"

"But, what are you going to do?"

Khushi narrated her plan. Arnav looked at her awestruck.

"Are you serious, Khushi?" he asked unbelievably.

"Only YOU and ME can make it possible. If you follow my statement, we can do it." Khushi said seriously.

"Will you really do it?" Arnav asked her again.

"Do you have any problem?" she back questioned him.

"No... not at all..."

"Just cooperate with me... that's enough"

"Of course, I will... but, your duplicate parents will get trapped"

"Let them... they need a lesson"

"Are you sure?" Arnav chuckled.

"Then what? They got me married to a man who was infertile. They got money from Aditya's family and got their daughter married grandly. I can even forgive that but I can't tolerate their comeback in my life and won't forgive their words. They have to eat their own words"

Arnav chuckled.

"You are unimaginably smart, Khushi..." Arnav extended his hand for a shake.

Khushi shook hands with him smilingly. She got down from the bed smilingly. She stepped on her own shawl unknowingly and missed her balance. Arnav got panicked and pulled her towards him. In no time, she fell on him pushing him onto the bed.

Arnav didn't try to get up whereas Khushi was unable to get up. Not that she was not in her sense. It didn't seem so. She was looking at Arnav blinking her eyes slowly. Arnav gulped down and didn't understand what to do. Of course, he wanted her to touch him first. Of course, she was laying to him. Of course, it was Khushi who had to get up first. But she didn't. There was no confusion on her face. It was looking crystal clear that she knew what she was doing. Arnav could not understand what state she was in but neither did he have an idea to divert her nor did he want her to get apart from him.

Her eyes were soft and her lips parted. She was clutching his shoulders gently. It felt like a flower bundle was lying on him. How soft she was...! How smooth her skin was...! What is her intensive gaze conveying to him? Being inexperienced, he could not read them.

Arnav's sight fell on her pinkie lips. He gulped down hard. Could not he kiss her flipping her underneath him? could not he devour her like anything? He felt the raising heat of his body. Khushi also felt it and saw Arnav sweating. Sweat beads appeared on his face. She sat on the bed, not looking at him. Arnav closed his eyes, staying in the laying position. Khushi bit her lip, panting hard.

Arnav sat, looking at her. Khushi slowly lifted her eyelash and looked at him. His eyes carried a lot of longing questions. One of them was, 'won't you touch me Khushi?' Khushi didn't lower her eyes. She too was gazing at him gutfully, like, 'you can also touch me'.

Arnav turned his gaze towards the table as his phone rang. He went to the table and checked the call. He attended it as it was Aman's call.

"Hello..."

"Sorry to disturb you, sir. One small doubt"

"Tell me"

"Mini Circuit's Program file needs a programmer to give a final check. Whom do you want me to assign, sir?"

"Do you postpone the meeting?"

"Not yet, sir"

"Don't do it. I'm coming to the office" Arnav said.

Khushi felt bad for Arnav. How gladly he took a day off. His mood was spoilt. That was why he wanted to go to the office.

Disconnecting the call, Arnav looked at Khushi.

"I'm going to the office," he said in a feeble tone.

"Why?" she asked.

Arnav swallowed down.

"Aman called me... So..." he stammered.

"I'm also coming with you"

Arnav nodded ok.

Within a few minutes, Khushi got ready. She was thinking deeply while doing that. She had to kill the issue. There were many problems around them already. They should not allow any problems to come between them. It was not good for a healthy relationship. Until today, there was no difference appeared between her and Arnav. This was the first one. But, why did Arnav put himself into such a condition? Why won't he just throw everything away? She thought wearily.

On the other hand, Arnav also was thinking the same... but in a different way. He should not behave like this. Khushi might feel embarrassing. She was already under stress because of her Ex-in-laws. Though she was not showing it openly she was indeed under stress. He should not hurry. He himself told her he will be waiting for her until she was fine with the relationship. She started moving with him easily which he didn't expect. That's enough for him. let her take time. He should control his feelings. She was already thinking that he was keeping his distance from her, keeping her words in her mind. This was not time to think about touching her. An important issue was waiting to swallow them alive. He had to be with Khushi in that. Let it get completed first. Arnav came to the conclusion.
