Part 51 Lovable Murderer

Khushi stopped at the same place as Arnav came out of the washroom. He stuck for a few seconds, seeing her, as the hesitation was visible on her face. He advanced her. Khushi bit her nail and turned, facing her back to him. Arnav came to her and flicked his fingers in front of her face, making her flinch. Khushi looked at him jerking.

*You no need to have hesitated. I know whatever you told us is not true...* he said folding his hands.

*Why...? Why can't it be true?* she asked with disappointment.

*Khushi... is it even possible to be in love with someone for four years...? that too without even the person's knowledge?* He asked.

Khushi dropped her jaw.

*Don't you trust me?* she asked pouting.

Arnav nodded NO. Khushi slammed her feet on the floor and about to leave the place, Arnav pulled her towards him, clutching her hand. Khushi banged on him and widened her eyes at his surprising act. Encircling his hands around her, Arnav kept her close to him.

*Ar....nav...* she stuttered.

*Am I that much lucky, Khushi?* he asked gulping down.

She parted her lips not knowing what to say.

*I thought I'm the unluckiest person in the world. I thought my life is over... and I thought I will never get happiness in my life again... Am I a deserving fellow to get such innocent love, Khushi?*

*You are... who else could be if you are not...?*

*I don't think so... I'm a murderer after all...*

*LOVABLE MURDERER...* she smiled.

Taking her hand, Arnav kissed her knuckle, bending down. He looked at her, raising his head. No need to say, Khushi was emotional. Arnav hugged her passionately making her more emotional. He buried his face in the crook of her neck while tightening the hug. Tears rolled down her cheek. Her hand raised slowly, caressing his back.

*So, I was the reason for your long cry?* he asked, whispering.

*No one other than you can make me cry...* She said choking.

Arnav broke the hug and wiped her tears with his thumbs.

*No more tears... It's enough of crying... Ok?* he asked holding her face.

Khushi nodded yes and again hugged him. Arnav reciprocated her hug.

That's when his phone rang. Breaking the hug, Arnav checked his mobile. The call was from Arvind. Arnav attended it.

*Yes, Dad...?*

*Chotte... don't you come to the site?*

Arnav looked at Khushi, taking a deep breath.

*Yup... will be there...*

*Chotte... if you want to be on leave today, then no problem* Arvind said.

Ratna might have told him Khushi's love matter, Arnav supposed.

*No, Dad... I'm coming...* He smiled.

*OK...* Arvind disconnected the call.

*I have to go...* Arnav said, looking at Khushi.

Khushi nodded yes. Arnav took a step and looked at her.

*Our talks have not been completed yet...* He said with a lopsided smile and left.

Khushi followed him with a cute blush. Arnav left RM for a site visit. Khushi went to the kitchen with Ratna.

Arnav drove the car thinking about him and Khushi. Khushi loved Arnav for more than four years. She got married to him after a lot of struggle. She behaved with him freely as if she had nothing in her heart for him. She was jovial with him. But now... after Arnav got to know about the feelings she had for him, she was damn happy. This is the day she was waiting for.

On the other hand, Arnav had wiped his hesitation off and started getting close to Khushi. He even started sharing the bed, after his confession.

He was damn surprised, to know about Khushi's love. How didn't he understand her gestures? Even his mother smelled the difference between him. How could he guess all these, who don't know what's in her heart? What Khushi did is beyond the imagination. He smiled closing his eyes.

Arnav wanted to get back home as much as possible. He had no intention to go to work but circumstances forced him to. Without any choice, he was going to finalize the site.

Evening

Arnav was getting back home with Arvind... with a lot of expectations. Arvind's car punctured and he wanted to go to the office again. So, he dropped Arnav in RM and went to the office in Arnav's car. Arnav went to the opposite complex to buy sweets for Khushi.

At the same time,

Khushi was in the kitchen. She rushed to open the door and frowned, seeing a man in front of her.

*How are you Khushi?* the man asked.

*You...?*

*Who else other than me would like to meet you Khushi?* the man asked.

Khushi shrank her eyes hearing a different question from him. He was Sumesh. He worked in Gupta Sweets. Shashi fired him as he did speculate in Gupta sweets. Now, he is in RM to meet Khushi.

*Tell me what the matter is?* Khushi asked.

*Why are you talking like this, Khushi? Have you forgotten me after seeing Raizada's wealth? Have you forgotten my true love?*

*Love....? What are you blabbering?* Khushi asked shockingly.

She used to call him BHAI when he worked in Gupta Sweets. After his peculation, Khushi doesn't like him.

*I never thought MONEY can change a person to this extent. How deeply you were in love with me...? How could you do this to me Khushi?* Sumesh asked and Khushi's heart raced in anger as well as in fear.

*I still love you so much Khushi...* he clutched her hand.

Khushi shrugged his hand off and moved back with an unbelievable expression.

*I just came to see you for once. Nothing more than that. Wherever I go... I will think of you Khushi. I want you to be happy... that's all. *

Sumesh turned to leave, he saw someone standing, looking at them wrathfully.

Khushi was horrified, seeing Arnav. His facial expression told her that he had heard everything. Tears spilled from her eyes. She doesn't know how to face Arnav. Just today morning, he felt lucky to have her in his life. Now... don't know what.

Arnav came to them.

*Arnavji... Khushi is a very good girl. Just because we had a relationship, she can't be wrong. We just stayed only one day together...*

Khushi clutched her shawl shivering.

Before he talked more, a strong punch got down on his face. Sumesh looked at him horrified, pressing his jawline whereas Khushi jerked. Arnav started hitting him black and blue. Khushi gulped down, understanding what was next.

Arnav twisted his hand from behind.

*Whom you are talking about, Sumesh? She is Khushi damn it...*

Sumesh as well as Khushi were stunned. How did Arnav know his name?

*You got fired from Gupta Sweets for speculating... right?*

*No...it's not true...*

Without listening to him, Arnav called security.

*Security...*

The security rushed to him.

*Bring rope*

*Jee...*

The security again rushed to the car shed and came with a rope.

*Tie his hands and legs...* Arnav said.

The security tied him tightly. They put him in the security room and locked it from the outside. Putting the key in his pocket,

*Stay here... call me when Aman comes* he ordered security.

*Jee...*

Arnav dialed Aman.

*Yes, ASR...*

*Sumesh is in RM.*

*Sumesh...?* Aman didn't get who Sumesh is.

*The one Shashi uncle fired from Gupta Sweets...*

*What is he doing in RM? *

*Someone should have sent him to RM.*

*someone...? Who?*

*We will get to know that soon and also a lot of information from him. Take him and get the details from him...* He said.

*Started to RM, ASR*

Aman disconnected the call and started his bike. Arnav kept the mobile in his pocket and looked at Khushi who was staring at him with an unnamed expression. Coming to her, he circled her shoulders and started walking. Khushi's eyes got rooted in his face. She doesn't know how Arnav knew about Sumesh and his words are lies. She wanted to know it but she was not in the mood to question her husband. Her mind wanted to admire him... just admire him...

To be continued...

Unexpected Kiss

Arnav brought Khushi inside RM, circling her shoulders. He looked at her.

*How do you know him? * She asked meeting his eyes.

*What's the big deal...? Everyone knows that he worked in Gupta Sweets...*

Cutting him,

*But, he worked a year ago... *
