Part 29 Furious Arnav

Arnav's blood boiled, seeing the pic. What pricked him the most was her teary eyes in the pic. Immediately deleting the pic, Arnav threw the mobile on the bed furiously. He could not believe Khushi did that. Grabbing a dress from the cupboard, he got ready for the office with a seething mind. Without even having breakfast, he started from RM.

"Chotte, don't you have breakfast...?" Ratna shouted.

"I will fetch something in the office canteen" Without looking at her, he walked out. Jumping on his bike, he geared it up harshly.

As usual, Khushi came to the office earlier even though she was not cheerful. There was no one on the office. She came to the second floor and sat in her seat, thinking about Arnav. She gulped down thinking about the pic. She closed her eyes and tears reeled down her cheek. She was horrified, seeing Arnav coming, looking at her with a wrathful expression. She gulped down hard as she understood what made him furious.

Coming to her, he lifted her from the chair, clutching her upper arms harshly.

"What do you think of me? Haan...? Do you think I'm such a ..." he gritted his teeth.

"How could you think of me so cheap? Did I say I expect this from you?" he tried not to shout.

Khushi nodded and tears rolled down.

"Then why the hell did you do that, damn it?" he pushed her shoulders.

Khushi moved a step back, spilling tears.

"Where is your phone?" He asked biting his jaws and swallowing hard.

She removed it from her bag and extended it to him fearfully. Arnav snatched it from her hand and looked here and there. He walked to the second desk and grabbed the pyramid like a metal paperweight.

Keeping Khushi's phone on the floor, he started hitting the phone with the edge of the paperweight, letting his frustration on it. Khushi closed her eyes, tightening her fingers. Her phone broke into pieces... correction... broke into powder. He glared at her, panting hard. He was about to say something, but he stopped, seeing Lavanya and Sonia entering the second floor. Lavanya was confused whereas Sonia was scared. Arnav left the place angrily. Sonia understood what would have happened. Sheetal's plan worked it seemed. She felt bad when Khushi cried, hugging Lavanya. More than that, she was scared about Arnav. When Sheetal sent Khushi to Arnav's house, he became furious with her. She didn't know what he would do if he got to know about SONIA also knew about Sheetal's plan. She thought to safeguard herself.

"What happened Khushi? Why did Arnav break your phone?"

Khushi sat on the chair and hit her forehead.

"I had done wrong... I don't know why I did that..." She burst out crying.

Lavanya understood something was terribly wrong. So, she started cleaning the glass pieces before anyone saw them.

Sonia followed Arnav. He was standing near a window seething in anger. He didn't know why Khushi did that. The much he knew, she was not such a girl who could do that. Why did she behave like this? He didn't know what was wrong with her. he was getting mad. He made up himself when he heard,

"Arnav..."

He saw Sonia. He tried to leave the place as he was not in the mood to talk to anyone. But he stopped hearing,

"Khushi was not completely at fault..."

He looked at Sonia, frowning because he knew Khushi would not have told anyone about the photo issue to anyone. He came to the office earlier only to sort it out before anyone came. No one had come to the office yet. Then how did Sonia know about it?

"She is not completely at fault, Arnav. We knew how distressful she had been after your engagement issue. She was in the stage of doing anything to get you. That was why she should have sent her photo to you"

Arnav became alert.

"How do you know about it? I'm sure Khushi would not have told you about it. Then how?"

Sonia was silent.

"Tell me, damn it..." he shouted and she jerked.

"Sheetal..." she uttered.

"Sheetal? What did she do in this matter?" Arnav shrank his eyes.

"She was the one who provoked Khushi... She said you want Khushi to show to what extent she would go for you and she would do THIS if she were in Khushi's place. Then you will trust her"

Arnav's anger touched its peak. He galloped down to the first floor. He saw Sheetal keeping her bag on her table. She too came to the office earlier to see the outcome of her action. She was taken aback by seeing Arnav advancing her wrathfully. As she didn't expect, he clutched her neck, gritting his teeth.

"How dare you use my name to play your dirty game with Khushi? Are you a woman? Why the hell are you troubling Khushi? Why don't you leave her at peace? You bloody Bi***"

Sheetal glared at him.

"Don't you dare glare at me, I will scoop your eyes. I warn you. If you do anything again, I will kill you..." He pushed her neck wrathfully.

"What if I said anything? Why did she follow what I said? Does she lose her mind?"

"Yessssss she lost her mind... because of you. You seeded hopelessness in her mind that she could never get me. That's why she became mad and got ready to go to any extent to prove herself. You provoked her sense of who was under pressure. She would have even killed herself...! Women like you could not understand that because you have no emotions, no sentiments, nothing...! You don't care about anything and anyone but only you, but Khushi does...! She cares about me and my feelings. When it comes to me, nothing is important to her... not even her LIFE... not even her RESPECT...! You used her mental insensible condition in your favor to revenge her...! Mark my words, this is the last day for you in this office"

Mr. Bhashyam saw the whole scene and frowned. He understood Sheetal would have done something again that made Arnav clutch her neck. He came to them.

"Take your bag and walk out," he said.

Sheetal gulped down.

"I'm incapable of handling your EGO Ms. Kapoor... Will you please get out?"

"You can't fire me like this"

"If you don't leave, I will take severe action against you to the extent that you will not be able to work anywhere else"

Taking her bag, Sheetal walked out throwing a glare at Sonia.

Bhashyam didn't wait to get Avinash's permission to fire her because, after Arnav clutched her neck, he didn't think he needed to wait anymore. He went to his cabin without raising a question. Arnav thought he had taken action on his petition. He went to his section to cool him down.

At the same time,

Khushi took a paper and wrote something on it. Lavanya saw that and came close to her, she was shocked, seeing her writing her resignation letter.

"Khushi, what are you doing?"

"I don't want to be here anymore... I can't... Arnav is angry with me. He would have thought of me cheap... how can I see him again?"

"If you feel bad about your action, why did you do that, Khushi?"

"I don't know..." She cried closing her face.

Lavanya felt bad for her.

"Khushi, relax... happened is happened... you already made a major mistake in haste. Don't make the same mistake again"

"Please, Lavanya, don't stop me... I feel ashamed of myself for doing that. I lost my mind..." She slapped her cheek, spilling tears.

Lavanya felt bad for her.

"It's JUST love Khushi... for that, would anyone do that?"

Khushi looked at her terrified.

"JUST love...? What do you know about our love? I was separated from ARJUN once... do you know how we burnt into ashes? Do you know how many dreams we had in our minds regarding our life? Do you know how happily we got married? It's a wait of two births, Lavanya..."

"I can understand, Khushi"

Cutting her,

"No... no one can understand my condition... not even Arnav. This is a torture, Lavanya. I don't know why I'm suffering for births... I don't know what sin I had done" She cried bitterly.

Lavanya's eyes pooled up, seeing her condition. She didn't know how to console her. Maybe, Khushi was right. No one could understand her condition unless they were in her position.
