Part 25 Coincidence??

Arnav stopped the car in front of GH.

"All the best... do practice," Arnav said.

"I will win the Natraj Idol for sure," Khushi said.

"Do you like the idol?"

"Of course... I like it very much..."

"Then, it will come back to RM in a few days... I suppose" Arnav said in a hidden meaning. If she liked it, she would bring it back to RM when she came to marry Arnav.

Khushi looked at him frowning.

"Means?"

"Natraj will be there where Devi Maiya would be... right?"

"Haan... but Devi Maiya is in GH only..."

Arnav smiled not answering that made Khushi flinch.

"Bye..." he drove off with a smile.

"What happened to this man? Why didn't he behave like Arnav Singh Raizada these days?" Khushi murmured and went inside.

Khushi started dance practice to win Sangeet. Unexpectedly, she won the competition with the help of the man from the opposition party as her friend Sarida didn't come to the competition.

Arnav was the man who would not let his LOVED one to be defeated. He knew Khushi was his wife. Then there was no chance for him to leave her helpless. He gave his hand for her to win the competition... he gave his hand in the excuse of helping her. It was actually a CLAIM, that she was HIS. It was an open declaration of his relationship with Khushi...! He used the chance to let Khushi know who she was for him and he would even let her win by losing HIMSELF. Not only Khushi but also everyone who knew ASR well became dumbfounded by the dance he performed on the stage with Khushi. The man who never danced in the last fifteen years did that for his LOVE LADY's victory.

It said what she meant to him. He made them understood it by making his UNBELIEVBLE steps with Khushi. Who could believe ASR would DANCE on stage with Khushi who was in the opposite team? There were a few things to be noticed in his dance, he didn't hesitate to touch her, lift her and hug her. He didn't wonder about it as according to him, she was HIS WIFE.

The wave created by Arnav in Khushi's heart made Khushi's heartbeat run like hell. She felt RIGHTFULNESS in his touch. She could not conclude what he was up to. After all, he was Arnav Singh Raizada, the man who became unpredictable these days...! Yes, he was so predictable a few days ago. Arnav Singh Raizada meant anger, ego, and arrogant but recently, his behavior didn't seem to be ASR. He was behaving like someone. She was confused about it. Who could guess, the great Arnav Singh Raizada would have such an idea of marrying a simple girl Khushi and that was the reason for his upside down behavior? That behavior created a SHIVER in Khushi's mind. She suffocated, could not conclude anything.

On the other side, Shyam was burning in jealous. It was not hard for him to understand what was there in Arnav's heart. The man who thought twice to even speak before, danced with Khushi on the stage. It was not a simple thing but a death-bell to him. He was a snack but he sought a help of SCORPIO to finish Anjali to get Khushi. He thought Khushi didn't want to marry him ONLY because he was married. He thought if his wife died, Khushi would marry him...! How narrow minded he was...! How a man who didn't understand what would be girls' actually expectation from a man, kept his wife under his control by his so-called love? The Scorpio plan backfired Shyam and it found its way back to him. You would reap what you sow...!

Arnav decided to perform Mehandi ritual in RM. Guptas reached RM as usual, except one...Khushi. She was not looking usual but abnormal. More to tease her, Arnav himself opened the door for her, making her gulp the jalebi in her hand. Looking at her face itself, Arnav understood she was not normal. He knew the reason of her being abnormal was Him. That brought a smile to his face.

She avoided looking at him because she didn't want him to know she was nervous. But, fate made her write Arnav's initial on her palm...! Of course, unintentionally. It didn't matter at all. When she looked at her palm, she was horrified. Taking a mehandi cone, she ran to the kitchen to over write it. She wanted to change the initial as a design. But, before she did that, Arnav saw that who came to the kitchen following her. He was surprised. Why did she write his initial on her palm? He was into her because he knew she was his wife but what about Khushi? He saw her standing, hiding her palm. Nervousness was visible on her face. What did that mean? Didn't she write it willingly? If she was not willing, how did her palm get his initial?

His GUT INSTINCT alerted him. Was this a coincidence or a sign of something that was going to come?

He looked at her thoughtfully. Khushi gulped down hard.

"What are you hiding?"

"Nothing..." She showed the hands making sure that the mehandi was facing her.

He saw a mehandi cone in her hand.

"What is this cone for?"

"I just thought to do final touch"

"Show me"

"Nooooo" she said making him jerk.

"Why?"

"Nothing"

She tried to walk away. When she crossed him, he pulled her hand and gave it a look. She closed her palm but she was not so faster than his eyes. He smirked.

"So, you wrote A on your palm"

"It's not me but that beautician"

"You should have told her to write..."

"No... Why would I told her... It's mistakenly happened"

"Mistakenly...?"

"I said K, but she wrote A"

"Really?"

"Haan... Then what?"

"That's why are you trying to hide it with mehandi?"

She nodded yes.

"Don't do it" he said.

Khushi looked at him perplexed.

"Everything happens for a reason. So is this..." He smirked.

Khushi was stuck. What did he mean?

"Whaaaaat?" She stammered.

"My initial should have taken place on your palm with some reason. It won't change even though you change it. So, leave it"

Khushi looked here and there and rushed out of the kitchen. She could not stand ASR's cheesy hidden meaning talks.

Arnav smirked.

Khushi so wanted to stay away from Arnav but she could not. She didn't know why she could not do it. Of course, Arnav didn't let it happen. After seeing his initial on Khushi's palm, he became eager to know what was going to happen next. He was sure that it didn't happen simply.

Khushi played hide and seek with Arnav. Though she wanted to hide from him, she eventually lost herself to him when Arnav challenged her, saying,

"Could you do what I do?" And kissed her cheek.

We could not just say simply that Khushi was shocked. She was not just shocked. Her state was something that we could not put into words. He kissed her. Arnav Singh Raizada kissed her...! She could not believe he kissed her. Neither she found nervousness in his face nor did she see fear, insead, those lips were smirking after touching her cheek. She could not conclude what was there in his mind. Pushing him, she rushed away. Arnav stood all smiling with the satisfaction of letting her know his heart, whereas Khushi was nervous like hell.

After that, Khushi saw Arnav being submissive and getting close to her. Though Arnav didn't tell her what he felt for her, she understood that.

On the other side, Raizadas doubt Arnav's perspective. After he made them stun by dancing with Khushi, their view about Arnav changed completely. Anjali and Nani were glad about it whereas Akash was confused because he didn't know whether Arnav was getting closer to Khushi to prorect her from Shyam or for some other reason.

Shyam had no doubt. He was sure that Arnav had fallen for Khushi. More than that, Khushi also started feeling for Arnav. Her LOOK towards Arnav was enough for him to conclude that. Who else other that him knew her look? After all, he was behind her for her one look that he never got. She used to smile at him too but her smile never been so intense, like her smile was for Arnav. He saw her eyes searching for Arnav and seeking his presence around her. Her searching eyes instantly softened to see Arnav. Shyam could not accept her being submissive to Arnav. He felt her slipping from his hands. He wanted to do something to stop all those nonsense happening between Arnav and Khushi. He wanted to talk to Khushi. He believed he could make her understand him and his love if she gave ear to him. At the same time, he wanted to finish Anjali who was the ONLY hindrance between him and Khushi.
