Part 34 Quick Decision

Vishvesh was irritated to see his men standing like statues, not attacking Arnav.

"Hey, idiots, why are you standing like a stone? Kick him out of the house..." he shouted.

The goons looked at him fearfully.

"What are you waiting for? Didn't you hear what I said?"

"Boss, we told you about the one who saved Khushi madam from us in Nainital..." the one who was next to Vishvesh whispered in his ear.

"Of course, you did... So what? Why the hell are you talking about him irrelevantly?" he shouted irritably.

"He is the one..." The goons said.

Vishvesh Sharma looked at Arnav in shock. They explained how Arnav hit them black and blue that day. Was he Khushi's boyfriend? Was he her boyfriend initially, or did they fall in love only after meeting at Nainital?

"Sir, he hit us like hell when he was none to her, but now, he was her boyfriend. He will definitely kill us, sir..." He said in a low tone.

Vishvesh glared at him and jerked, seeing his son falling to the ground, shouting, clutching his stomach because Arnav kicked him hard, sending him tumbling to the ground.

Arnav looked at Khushi and asked,

"What do you mean he tried to touch you?"

Vishvesh was taken aback. Without knowing anything in detail, he made his son tremble. What if he found out what he had asked his son to do?

Before Khushi said anything, Bheem did,

"He asked his son to RAPE Khushi madam..."

Arnav looked at Vishvesh, widening his eyes and tightening his jaws, making him shiver.

He removed his handkerchief from Khushi's hand that he was pressing on and looked at her wound. The bleeding stopped because the wound wasn't too deep. Yet, he said,

"Bheem, take Khushi to the hospital..."

Vishvesh Sharma looked at him, stunned. How did he think his men would let Bheem take her to the hospital?

In no time, Arnav started his action. His speed remained the same whether he was in an open place or a closed house. A few things were broken, not by Arnav but the goons. They threw them at Arnav to wound him. The house became a war field.

The goons were right. He hit them black and blue when he was no one to Khushi. Now, she was his fiancée. Then what would he do if anyone tried to rape her? Though Arnav fought with the goons, his main target was the father and the son. He kicked them whenever he got the chance.

Bheem came to Khushi and called,

"Let's go to the hospital, madam..."

"No, Bheem bhaiya... help him..."

"But, Arnav sir wants me to take you to the hospital. He will take care of them."

"I know that. But it's not safe to go from here. If they follow us, we will get into trouble. Do what I said. Help him."

Bheem hesitated.

"The wound is not deep... see..." Khushi showed her hand.

Bheem sighed and got into the fight. Maria rushed to the cupboard and brought the first-aid kit to Khushi. She started treating her wound without caring about the brutal fight around them.

"Are you hurt, Maria?" Khushi asked.

"No, madam... I'm not hurt..." Maria smiled.

Within a few minutes, the goons fell to the ground, moaning as they held their severely injured body parts. Arnav turned towards Vishvesh Sharma and Nithesh. They stepped back in fear. Arnav looked like a BEAST with a few wounds on his body, but he didn't seem to care about them.

He clutched both their hair and dashed their heads with another. They shouted, holding their heads.

"How dare you step into this house? What do you think of me? Did you think you could abduct Khushi from me easily? I can beat you to death and throw all of you in the valley. No one could even find a piece of flesh of yours, even if I cut you into pieces." Vishvesh saw a red-eyed monster in his wrath.

They trembled in fear because they understood Arnav had the ability to do that.

Arnav saw a log lying on the floor. Taking it, he beat them while asking,

"Will you provoke your son to rape Khushi? Is this how you raised your son? Don't say you are a father. Would any father do that? Will you do anything for money? It's not your son, but you should stand on the BENCH with your hands up. If your teacher had done that, you would not be a spoiled brat."

"Please leave us... We will not come here again..." Vishvesh screamed, rubbing his body, and could not stand the hits. How could he endure the hits when he had never experienced pain in his life? In fact, he used to cause pain to others without caring about anything.

"Is it? won't you interfere in her life?"

"Yes. Promise... please don't hit us... We will not interfere in Khushi's matter."

"Bheem..."

"Yes, sir?"

"Bring the stool..."

He brought the stool.

"Come on, stand on it..." Arnav ordered.

Vishvesh looked at him shockingly. Arnav raised the log again.

"No... no... don't hit me..." he climbed on the stool.

"Hands up..."

He raised his hands up, looking at his men who huddled in the corner of the room in fear. It was the greatest insult he had ever faced. His men would no longer respect him.

"Repeat what you just said..."

Vishvesh felt humiliated.

"I said, repeat..." Arnav hit him on his back.

"I won't interfere in Khushi's matter anymore..." he repeated it again and again.

Arnav looked at Nithesh. He hid behind his father.

"Do you want to marry Khushi...?" Vanav advanced him.

"No, no... my father asked me to marry her." he moved back.

"Will you do anything your father says?"

Nithesh gulped.

"Did you complete your graduation? Have you cleared all your arrears?" he asked like a typical professor.

Khushi wanted to laugh out loud, but she managed to control it.

Nithesh nodded, no, fearing.

"You don't even complete your arrears yet, and you want to get married? That to with a Royal heir..." he beat him again.

"Sir, sir... please don't hit me..." he jiggled in the same place.

"Kneel down..." Arnav said.

Nithesh immediately kneeled down. The father and the son could not understand one thing. Even though Arnav hit them with a log, they didn't bleed. He hit them so skilfully. But why? He could have hit them to death and thrown them into the valley as he said, but he didn't do that. Did he believe their promise not to interfere in Khushi's life? Was he that innocent? What was there in his mind? They were confused.

Arnav turned behind and looked at the goons. They were in a state of crying.

"Sir, sir... we will never think of coming to Dehradun again." One of the said.

"Yes, sir..." Others chorused.

"I finished my graduation with no arrears, sir," one among them said pleadingly.

"Hey, are you a graduate?"

He nodded yes proudly.

"Being a graduate, you became a goon? Don't you feel ashamed of yourself? What's the value of your education if you don't understand what to do and not?"

"I didn't get a job, sir..."

"What's your mark?"

He scratched his head.

"Tell me..."

"Fifty-five percentage,"

"Then how would you get a job? Leave it. Can't you do any respectful small-scale business?"

"I will do, sir..."

"If I see you in this gang again, that day will be the last day of your life."

He nodded hurriedly.

That was when they saw a police jeep halted in front of the house. Vishvesh understood why Arnav didn't make them bleed. The police came inside, and Arnav said,

"These guys tried to misbehave with my fiancée, sir."

Vishvesh was confused. When did Arnav call the police? He could not understand. Khushi was also in the same confusion. The police arrested Vishvesh and his gang. Arnav came to Khushi and examined her hand.

"Maria treated it."

"Why did you cut your hand off? Don't you know I will come?"

"How do I know?"

Arnav looked at Bheem questioningly.

"I didn't tell her, sir, because I don't want to alert Vishvesh Sharma. He might have taken Madam with her and left the place if he had known someone was on the way to rescue Madam. That's why I didn't tell her that I called you and called the police as you said."

Khushi raised her brows, stunned.

"Did you ask Bheem Bhaiya to call the police?"

"Yes. I thought they would take you before I arrived. That's why I asked him to hold them. But they didn't take you with them. Then only Bheem arrived here."

"I thought my story was over," Khushi said fearfully.

"Thank God, you arrived at the right time. I can't imagine what would have happened," Maria said nervously.

"Vishvesh Sharma found me..." Khushi said, stressed.

"Yeah, he won't be quiet," Maria said, looking at Arnav.

"Do you think I believed their promise?" he asked.

The trio were silent.

"I know he won't be controlled. But his every step from hereon will be careful and lawful. He will try to come out of prison on Bail." Arnav said.

"Before he does that, we should leave Dehradun." Khushi said.

"Why should we leave Dahradun? We will find a solution to this issue... a permanent solution." He said.

They squeezed their hands.

Khushi made Arnav sit on the dining chair. Taking the first-aid kit, she treated Varnv's wounds.

"I will prepare lunch." Maria went to the kitchen.

Bheem also left the place.

"Are you scared?" Arnav asked.

Khushi silently cleaned the wound on his cheekbone. Arnav held her hand, which was slightly shivering. He held her hand and said,

"Give me some time. I will find a solution."

She nodded.

"Let's go to the hospital. We need to get a TT injection."

"My wound is not deep,"

"Yet, it's a wound. Let's go..."

They went to the hospital and got the injections. Khushi saw him driving in the other direction. She looked at him.

'We should submit a written complaint on Vishvesh Sharma to the police station. Then only they will be imprisoned," Arnav said.

Khushi nodded.

They came to the police station and saw them in the cell. Arnav wrote a complaint, and Khushi signed it.

"I will take care of them," the inspector said.

"Thank you, sir," Arnav said, and then left the police station with Khushi.

They returned home and had lunch together. Arnav noticed that the trio was abnormally silent. he knew they were nervous about Vishvesh.

Arnav left the place thinking about the solution.

The next day

Khushi was sitting with a cup of coffee. She heard a calling bell, and she jerked. Maria was supposed to open the door,

"Maria, wait..." She stopped.

"Check who is there first. then open the door..." she warned.

Maria nodded and looked outside through the window. She smiled and said,

"Arnav sir..."

Khushi huffed in relief. Maria opened the door, and Arnav entered with a smile, all fresh.

"Good morning, Maria..."

"Good morning, sir..."

He looked at Khushi and said,

"Hi..."

"Hi..." Khushi smiled, but her eyes looked sad.

"Didn't you sleep last night?"

Khushi was silent.

"Go and pack your stuff..."

Khushi and Maria glanced at each other.

"Where are we going?"

"To my place..."

Khushi's eyes sparkled.

"Your place?" she asked, smiling.

"You are going to be with me. I don't want you to be here anymore..."

"But..."

"We will discuss later. Get ready..."

He looked at Maria and said,

"Maria, get her stuff packed..."

She nodded gladly and went to pack Khushi's stuff. Arnav saw Khushi staring at him. She couldn't believe Arnav was taking her to his place. She didn't expect it to happen so soon, especially after he said he would find a solution to this issue. Was this the solution? Didn't he ask her to wait for three months?

"What are you staring at my face? You can do that after coming to my place. now go and get ready..." He gently pushed her.

"Are you sure about your decision?"

"Do you think I'm not sure about it?"

"How could you be overconfident?" she came to the teasing mode, it seemed.

"Shouldn't I?" he folded his hands.

She came close to him and whispered,

"Have you forgotten what I said?"

"What?"

"If you take me to your house and give me a chance to be close with you, I will use the chance and seduce you..." she said, controlling her smile.

Arnav realised she had come out of the stress. Yes, she would be relieved if she was with Arnav.
