Part 53 Dangerous Situation?

Arnav came to the recording studio with Khushi. When they opened the door, they got drenched in rose petals. Arnav flinched back whereas Khushi was delighted.

"Wish you happy married life sir..." his assistants said in the same tone.

Arnav accepted their wishes with a nod. He saw NK smiling at him.

"Is this all your job?"

"What job do I have other than enjoying my friend's wedding?" NK asked.

"Unbelievable..."

All of them gave a big size flower bouquet to Khushi.

"Congratulations, Ma'am"

"Thank you..."

"Your favorite RED rose bouquet chosen by NK" NK said posing.

"Thank you Nanne" Khushi smiled.

Arnav really wondered about NK's attitude towards Khushi as he knew NK wished to marry Khushi. He could not understand how NK changed his mind easily. Was not Khushi a special character? Didn't NK feel unlucky to miss her?

"Is everything ready?" Arnav asked.

"Yes, sir," his assistant said.

"Shall we go for the take?" Arnav asked Khushi.

Khushi nodded yes.

"Come on guys... let's go for the take," Arnav said.

They went for the take but the take was not satisfactory for Arnav.

"Retake," he said.

Khushi looked at him through the glass wall to know what mistake she had done.

"I would like to add a flute beat in between the tune," Arnav said understanding her to look.

Khushi nodded ok.

Arnav called the flute musician and instructed him when and how he should play the flute.

The second take fulfilled Arnav's expectations.

"Take Ok," Arnav said.

He played the track. All of them liked it...especially, NK liked it very much.

"Khushi, your voice sliding like a sweet nectar in our ears" he directly flattered her.

He saw Arnav gazing at him with a sharp gaze.

"Oie, Nannav... don't take me wrong... Khushi's voice is really sweet"

"I know," Arnav said.

"Yeah... you must have known it... then only you would make her sing in your movie"

Arnav walked to his room. he stopped and looked at NK.

"NK..." he called.

"Yes, Nannav?"

"I need to talk to you... come to my room"

"Yeah..." he followed Arnav.

Khushi sat on the chair.

"Ma'am, would you like to have some juice?" one of their assistants of Arnav asked.

"No, thanks" Khushi waited there.

She started checking her phone.

...........

NK came to Arnav's room.

"Tell me, Nannav... what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Actually... what I want to ask you is..."

NK was looking at him, raising his brows.

"Whaaaat Dude?"

"Are not you disappointed with me?"

"With you? but why?"

"I got married to Khushi..."

"Yeah... but, it's a good thing, right?"

"Didn't you feel bad? You wanted to marry her..."

NK burst out laughing.

"What the hellllll..."

"Sorry Nannav... it was a drama"

"Drama?" Arnav sulked his face.

"We... I mean Aman and I knew you have some feelings for Khushi"

Arnav's expression changed. He shifted his gaze to somewhere.

"We just wanted you to realize your feelings, Nannav. You would feel it only if Khushi slips from your hand. We just tried to make it possible"

Arnav swallowed down hard.

"Accept it or not... you have feelings for Khushi. Neither anyone can change it nor could you hide it. That was why you got married to her when she was in trouble. We thought you will do anything to safeguard her. You did the same... as we expected. The impact Khushi created in your heart is something that brought your feelings out. Khushi is my friend... very good friend. I want you to be happy with her... please understand your feelings, Nannav. She is a nice girl. She deserves happiness. She will be happy with only you. understand that. She wants only your love... nothing other than that. Accept her as your wife and make her happy"

Arnav was looking at him without blinking.

"Do you want to ask me anything else?"

Arnav nodded no.

NK walked out, giving him space to think about what he just said.

Arnav sat on his seat with a thud. Was his feeling for Khushi so noticeable to the extent that others could feel it? Then why could not he realize it? Had he really had feelings for Khushi?

He looked out through the glass door. he saw Khushi smiling, looking at her phone. Arnav's lips curved into a beautiful smile unknowingly. Yes, she had the power of making him smile with her smiling face... only she had the power. The nervousness he had before their marriage was not in his heart now even though they were in danger. He felt stress-free after their wedding even though he never wanted to get into a relationship. why so? He had no answer. Was that because he had feelings for Khushi as Aman and NK thought? Arnav started thinking about his feelings.

NK again came to his room.

"I'm leaving, Nannav..."

Arnav nodded ok and stood up.

"We are also leaving," Arnav said.

"Oh..."

Arnav came out of his room. Khushi stood up, seeing him.

"Shall we go?"

Khushi nodded ok.

"Bye, Nanne"

"Bye..."

Arnav started the car. Khushi secured herself with the seatbelt. Arnav was about to change the gear, he thought something. he removed his mobile and shared his live location with Alex. He saw a blue tick appearing that indicated, Alex had seen his message. He received a thumbs-up symbol from Alex.

Arnav geared the car up. he was stealing Khushi's glance who looked casual. There was no disturbance in her face... might be, there was no disturbance in her mind also. How could she look so relaxed? Didn't she know she was in danger until Shyam got arrested?

"Khushi, are you nervous?" He asked purposely.

"Me? why would I be?"

"Because Shyam has not yet been arrested..."

"So what, Arnavji? Why should I be tensed when you are with me?"

Arnav got stuck. He could not understand how could she be so confident about him. he never gave her hope of anything. then how she believed him to this extent?

Arnav was about to ask her something, he sensed the tyre of his car got punctured. He stopped the car at the side of the road. Releasing the center lock, he got down from the car and checked it. The front left tyre was punctured. He ran his eyes in his surroundings and found no one there. His instinct warned him.

Arnav saw a few men coming out of the places in which they were hiding. Arnav got an alert. He rushed to Khushi's side. Opening the door, he pulled her out of the car, clutching her hand. He started running, pulling her with him. As he expected, the men chased them. After a while of running, Arnav saw a middle-class residential area that had many small and narrow streets. Without thinking of anything, he entered a lane and ran crossing many lanes, making the men confused. His and Khushi's throats drained. They were losing their stamina. That was when Arnav's mobile vibrated. He had put his mobile on vibrant mode at the time of recording. He took his mobile out while running. It was Alex's call. He talked, after swiping it.

"Arnav, where are you going? Is everything alright?" Alex asked.

"Somebody is chasing us... Our car is punctured"

"Hide somewhere safely. I will be there"

Alex cut the call and called the control room.

"Shyam Jha is in Durga Nagar, chasing Arnav Singh Raizqada and his wife. Send the patrol there immediately" he said and started to Durga Nagar.

On the other side, Arnav saw a very small space to hide. There was only a foot berth in between two walls. The other side was blocked with unwanted, broken things. A single person could hide in it comfortably. No one could see the place from outside. Until Alex came, this place would be safer for them to hide. Arnav gestured to Khushi and stood in it. Both were panting hard like hell. They badly needed water to make their dried throat wet.

In the tension of escaping from the goons, they didn't notice their position. They were standing close to each other in a place, in which only one person could stand comfortably. It seemed, even air couldn't enter between them. Their breath started getting normal.

That was when something grabbed their attention. It happened in the house that was right straight to them. They could see the scene that was happening in the house through the ventilator that was being covered with money plants.

"Leave me, don't start your romance in the daytime," a girl said.

"You slept quickly last night. You have to compensate for it now... After all, we are a newly married couple"

He pulled her onto the bed and pounced on her. he started kissing her wildly.

Arnav and Khushi turned their gaze to the opposite sides. That was when they noticed, which position they were in. They looked at each other embarrassingly.

Though they didn't see what the couple was doing the sound created by the couple created havoc in them. They groaned... Moaned... Whined... Arnav and Khushi were not kids not to understand what they were doing. It heated them up. An unknown riot happened in them.

Khushi tried to move away from Arnav but it was not so easy. Their throat drained again but the reason was something else. She again moved inside. The rope of her suit got stuck with the iron rod. She pulled it and the knot got untied. Her eyes widened in shock. She tried to tie it but the congested place made the situation worst... It got them closer. Yet, she could not tie it.

As she didn't expect, Arnav clutched her hands and pulled them down. Khushi looked into his eyes. He slowly leaned towards her and started tying the knot. Khushi clutched her suit tight when his fingertips caressed her back. Their cheeks touched while he tied the knot. Arnav saw her closing her eyes panting hard. He gulped hard, fisting his fingers. Khushi opened her eyes jerking, hearing the high pitch shout of the couple. She again closed her eyes tight, biting her lip.

Khushi opened her eyes again, hearing the police jeep siren. She got stuck, seeing Arnav gazing at her dizzily.
