Part 43 Feelings

Arnav was raiding the car with his mind full of Khushi's thoughts. He recalled everything one by one from the beginning. He thought she was a cute girl with no serious gestures. He thought she will take everything lightly. But today, she became gloomy and stressed. Poor girl... she looks so innocent when she cries. He had no doubt she loved him very much. And he too loved her. Why won't he love her if she was so cute and blamelessly lovable...? He didn't know how to open his heart to her because Arnav Singh Raizada was like that. But being rigid will not help their relationship progress. Arnav knew that. He wondered about his recent behavior towards Khushi. As he didn't expect, he started countering which was not planned. Maybe, in the upcoming days, he may open his heart up to her which will also be not a planned one.

Somewhere else in Delhi

The truck driver was standing before Sheetal. She slapped him hard, letting her frustration out.

*Can't you do a simple thing? If you can't kill both of them you should have killed one of them... Or, you should have broken his or her leg... at least...* she shouted in anger.

*My aim was so exact Ma'am... as I didn't expect, the girl pushed him away and saved him...*

*Don't give your bloody excuses... you have gotten enough money from me...*

*I will finish her next time for sure...*

*Why? to help them to trap me?*

*No, Madam...*

*Go somewhere... far away from Delhi... don't show your face to anyone...*

*Ok, Madam...*

*Leave...*

The truck driver left the place.

Virat Singh was looking at her wrathful face.

*What will you do now?*

*I won't let them live peacefully... they have to pay, Dad...* she shouted like manioc.

Virat was silent.

*The girl is so much into Arnav... she didn't believe me no matter how hard I tried. I will show her who I'm...*

*But how?*

*Wait and see... she is going to hate Arnav and will never like to look at Arnav's face and he is going to lose her forever...*

She removed her phone and called someone. The call was attended to d on the other side.

*Hi, Seetha...*

*shut up...don't you know I don't like that name?* she asked, looking at Virat.

Sheetal's real name was Seetha. Virat named his daughters Yasodha and Seetha... Sheetal didn't like to be old-fashioned in anything. So, she changed her name to Sheetal.

*Tell me Sheetal...*

*I need your help...*

*Anything for you and uncle. because of him, I got settled down in Singapore...*

*I will send you a recording...*

*What recording?*

*It's my phone conversation with Arnav*

*You mean, Jeejaji?*

*Yes...you have to edit the conversation as I say*

*Sure...*

Sheetal told the content of the recording.

*When will I get the recording?*

*Within an hour...*

*Ok... the other voice in the recording should not be recognized by Arnav...*

*Done...*

They disconnected the call.

*Arnav Singh Raizada... you are flying high... tomorrow will be the last day of your smile... your wife will throw you out of her life...* she said fuming.

Virat smiled, seeing his daughter's smartness.

...........

Arnav saw Aman with the inspector who was examining Arnav's car. He got down from the car and came to them.

*Hello, Mr. Raizada...* the inspector said.

*Hello sir...*

*One of the men who were there on the spot noted the truck number. But unfortunately, the truck number is a fake one*

*My wife had seen the driver... I think she can recognize him...* Arnav said.

*That's great... it will surely help us to find the criminal*

*Shall I bring her to the station?*

*No need... I will come to your house with the criminal's album*

*Thank you inspector*

The inspector left the place.

*Khushi says that it is not an accident...* Arnav said.

*Even I have the same doubt...* Aman said.

*We have to find Sheetal.* Arnav said.

*Yes... we will appoint a few detective agents to find her...*

*We have to... immediately...*

*How is Khushi?* Aman asked.

*She is crying...crying...crying...* Arnav sighed.

*Of course, she would... she loves you so much... doesn't she?* Aman question him to tease him but Arnav's reply amazed him.

*Yes... she loves me so much... beyond our imagination...*

Aman was stunned. Even though he knew Arnav spoke to him about everything freely he didn't expect he would talk about Khushi because Arnav had stopped speaking to him when he was in jail. Now, Aman could see the trace of the OLD Arnav.

*How do you know she loves you?* Aman intentionally asked.

*I know...*

*How?* he again asked.

*She is just like a kid, at the same time, mature enough. She knows how to react to what. One time, she tried a friendship band in my hand... another time, she woke me up from my sleep and asked to cut the cake using our friendship... and it was my birthday... the day I have almost forgotten... she is so sweet... she is something... no one can get...* Arnav opened his heart, making Aman awestruck.

*She is something, no one can get... but you got her... what will you do to be grateful to her?* Aman asked.

*I don't think this birth is enough for me to thank her... I don't believe in REBIRTH. If it is true, I want her as my wife in all the births...*

Aman was delighted, hearing his statements. He never thought Arnav will fall for Khushi head overheal so much... that too so soon. Khushi is something, it seems.

*My God, ASR... I was damn happy about you. I never thought you will realize Khushi's love so soon*

*Why won't I realize if her love is so open? She doesn't hesitate to show her concern for me, Aman. You know, whenever I go home from the office, she rushes towards me to take my bag and coat. Usually, the father's princess does that... She is also the same... she expects my attention...* Arnav stopped for a while and sighed.

*But, she never shows that she expects my attention...*

Aman raised his brows. His friend observes his wife to this extent...?

*And... she drags my attention within a few seconds. Whatever she does, it would be something new or interesting...*

It seems ASR will talk about his wife forgetting to eat. Aman supposed.

*Does Khushi know your feelings for her?* Aman asked to see whether he denies his feeling for Khushi.

Arnav nodded NO.

*Won't you tell her?*

*You know well that I'm not like her...*

*Of course, I know. But you are talking about your wife non-stop with me...why can't you do that to her?*

*I will try... she is upset by the accident. She cried a lot... I liked it because she cried for me... the fear of losing me is visible in her eyes...* He said proudly.

*You have no idea how much I'm relieved... I thank Khushi for bringing you out of the shell...*

*Don't tell her anything...* Arnav said controlling his smile.

*Excuse me... you can't control my mouth... it won't obey my order...* Aman laughed.

That's when Arnav got a call. Removing his mobile he checked. His facial expression changed, seeing MOM flashing on his mobile. He attended it.

*Mom...what happened? Is Khushi alright?* he asked nervously.

*She is alright, Chotte...*

Arnav huffed in relief.

*Tell me...*

*Khushi looks so gloomy... I have an idea to make her happy and relief...*

Arnav's face brightened. What would be the idea? His mother is very smart. She will come up with ideas that get them closer.

*Tell me, Mom...*

*I think we will send her to her Mayka....*

*Whaaaat!* Arnav yelled in shock. What the bloody idea is this...!

*Haan, Chotte... A girl likes to meet her mayka people whenever she gets upset. She would like to be with them no matter how close she is to her husband and in-law people.* she said.

Arnav became annoyed. He didn't like that idea and the theory of the girls like ONLY her mayka people. Leave other girls... what about Khushi? Will she be happy with her mother not with HIM? He thought his mother will bring her close to him. But she was all set to send her to her mother's place...

*No need...* he said.

*Why Chotte?*

*Why are you with her? She calls you Amma...what does that mean? Try to console her... just like her Amma*

*Chotte...*

*Will she go to her mother whenever she gets upset?*

*It's not possible but...*

*Then let her make herself, staying in RM...*

*Why won't you consider her?*

*Mom...I said what I want to... I don't want to send her and that's final...* he disconnected the call all frustrated.

Aman smiled at him.

*What's the matter, ASR?*

*Mom wants to send Khushi to her mayka...*

*But why?*

*She thinks Khushi will be relieved with her mother*

*Somehow, it's true ASR...*

Arnav tightened his jaws.

*Do you want her to be with you all the time...?* Aman asked.

Arnav gulped down.

*You are sure that you can't be without her...*

*Yes, I can't...the room without her feels empty...*

*Then tell her that, ASR... she will be happy...*

Arnav nodded yes.

*I will tell her on her Birthday*

*When is her birthday?*

*Next month...*

*What the...* Aman said.

Arnav laughed out louder.

But, no one knows that the process of making ASR confess his love to his wife is already started.
