Samrat Sachdev

Arnav Singh Raizada's Biological Father!

His story will come with Arnav's past.. So until then have Patience!

So ... Here goes the update!

Chapter 21: Kuch Talaash Aur Kuch Maange!

Samrat Sachdev! The excuse of human and unfit to be a father, but unfortunately Arnav's father. The minute he heard the name from Aman, his insides were burning with rage.

Arnav: Aman, tell me, did you find him? Is that him for sure?

Aman: Yes ASR, its him. But we could not trace his exact location still. But I am pretty sure that he is somewhere in and around Delhi.

Arnav: Search for him. I want all the information as soon as possible. Do you get that?

Arnav said between his coughs annoying Muskaan to the edge.

Aman: Yes ASR. I will. You please Relax.

They both disconnected the call. Arnav turned to see Muskaan standing with hands on her hips.

Arnav: Oh no!

Muskaan: Don't you dare Bhai! Look at yourself. You are coughing the hell out of you and you still manage to order your right hand man in such tone. Who asked you drench yourself bhai?

Arnav: Enough of drama Muskaan. Tell me what am I to do now?
Muskaan: Have this!

She gave him the medicines and also a glass of hot bitter potion. Arnav made a face as he swallowed them all. Thanks to Muskaan's threat of telling his condition to Khushi.

But Khushi was in no better state. When she returned, Khushi was totally baffled by the little dream she had. How can she even think of Arnav like that? No, something is wrong.
Suddenly she gave a loud sneeze which made Gurpreet rush to her with the medicine. Gurpreet was trying hard to make her understand in her Punjabi mix hindi.

Gurpreet: kisnu dassiya bheegne.. Bache nu kuch hoiya je?..

She kept grumbling that Khushi had to concentrate hard to understand her broken words and mix language. At last when Gurpreet with a cross look held a glass of medicine in front of her, her angry face instead of making Khushi hesitate made her laugh much to everyone's surprise.

Khushi: Hahaha! You look so cute with that cross look on your face Gurpreet ji. And more cute when you were mumbling in your remix of languages..Hahaha

As Khushi was laughing after many days, it became hard to control for herself too. But no one was ready to control her laughter. Arnav and Muskaan who came there listening to the noise stood there like statues seeing the one sulking soul of home laughing.

Gurpreet looked content to see her laugh but was confused with what she said. But she did understand that she was laughing after seeing her angry face that she tried to put.

Arnav: Relax Khushi! You are nearly 7 months pregnant. If you laugh like this, your hip nerves can twist. Tell me why are you laughing so much. Gurpreet could not have said anything.

Muskaan: But looks like Beeji is only responsible for this.

Gurpreet gave another cross look to Muskaan and Khushi doubled with laughter. Now everyone understood why she was laughing.

Arnav: Muskaan, take beeji and move out. I will make Khushi drink the medicine.

Muskaan: Lo ji. He doesn't drink his but will order others to..

she grumbled as she took a grumbling Gurpreet out. Arnav took the glass and sat next to Khushi as she was gasping after her laugh.

Arnav: Here have this.

Khushi: I already took the tablets Muskaan gave me. Again this, won't it affect the baby?

Arnav: Muskaan gave normal tablets that are prescribed to pregnant ladies during winter season. And this is nothing but homemade with no chemicals. It will not affect. Have this. It will help you.

Khushi: But it smells awful and will taste bitter.

Khushi wrinkled her nose making Arnav chuckle.

Arnav: Who asked you to dance in rain? then you will have to face the consequence. Now don't crib like a child and have this. Else you will catch cold which is really not good at this time.

Khushi: You know what, before I had only one mother. Now looks like I am surrounded by 3 mothers. Amma also used to make me have khada like this only you know, after I get wet in rain. Soham also used to tell me that I am childish. Then we will fight and Amma should pull us far away to get us drink this...

Khushi stopped her story remembering her family. Suddenly her eyes were brimming with tears and Arnav hung his head. What has he done to her?

Khushi: Arnav ji, will they be worrying for me? Will soham remember our fight?

ARnav: Khushi, have this and rest. You should not stress much ok.

Khushi: Will you let me visit them?

Arnav: Khushi drink this NOW!

Khushi just sniffed and then did as he asked. Arnav made her lay down and covered her with the duvet. He dimmed the light and was about to move out when she called him.

Khushi: Arnav ji! You will come back here right? I am afraid of dark.

Arnav: Take rest. I will come back. Ok.

Khushi nodded her head and closed her eyes. But Arnav who stood outside hung his head. What has he done to this innocent soul? She is afraid of dark and he made her life dark just like his! All these tensions in his mind, made him restless so much that, his sugar levels were getting out of control. But he was not in state to care for all these.

Khushi went back to her thoughts. Why was she expecting him to return back when she knows that he will never! WHY? Why is she inclining towards the beast? But he is not that bad too. Why is she getting used to his touches? Why is she craving for that electric touch? What is happening to her?

She slowly slept thinking all these.
He went down to see Muskaan and Gurpreet talking something. From the way Muskaan was talking, he knew that it was something serious.

Arnav: Muskaan? What happened?

Muskaan: oh Bhai! Nothing Bhai! We are planning to go to Delhi Tomorrow.

Arnav(frowning): Why now? And you are taking your beeji too!

Muskaan: Forgot bhai? Tomorrow we should be present for Indian citizenship registration. You and me have been planning this for ages bhai! So I am taking some of the villagers with me and will get them the basic documents like Ration card, Adhar and farmer's cards etc.

Arnav: Oh how did I let this slip out of my mind! Ok, let me also come. How will you manage..

Muskaan: No bhai, you have to be with Khushi. I am not taking everyone with me. Just few people. Mainly the old people. I can manage well and Akhil will help me there.

Arnav: And who is this Akhil?

Muskaan: Woh.. Bhai! We studied together in Mumbai Medical university. He then did Neurology and is now working in Delhi Government hospital.

Arnav: Not bad. But keep in touch with me. Haan, Muskaan I want to talk to you about Khushi.

Gurpreet moved to her room excusing herself as Arnav settled himself on the living room couch opposite to Muskaan.

Arnav: How is Khushi's health Muskaan? Why is she looking so tired most of the time?

Muskaan: It is nothing bhai. Normal hai.

Arnav: Don't! You know that you cannot lie to me. Tell me what is it.

Muskaan: Bhai, her uterus! It is a bit weak bhai. May be due to some accident.. or..when.. Whatever bhai! I think she cannot undergo normal delivery without internal bleeding. So we will have to do a C section for her. Else, it may become an pre mature delivery by 8 months.

Arnav: When did you know this?

He asked in a very dangerously calm voice.

Muskaan: This month when I took to the scanning lab.

Arnav: And WHEN THE HELL WERE YOU PLANNING TO TELL ME?

Muskaan: Bhai relax. It is not a problem that could not be solved. So I did not want to put you both in a hyper situation.

Arnav: Whatever it is, you should have been kept me informed about her health dammit.

Muskaan: BHAI! I said that we can solve it. Please relax! Your face and eyes are going Red. It is not good sign for you.

Arnav: How are you going to solve it?

He asked relaxing himself. For now, more than getting hyper, he should know the ways of getting Khushi fine.

Muskaan: That's better. I will ask Akhil to find best hospital in Delhi with all facilities. We can admit Khushi there in advance.

Arnav: Do anything that will help her.

Muskaan. Save her!

Muskaan: You no need to say that bhai..  I will do that anyway. I am a doctor.

Arnav: Ok.. Be careful with the car.. How are you taking people along with you?

Muskaan: I have arranged bus for them.

Arnav: Good.

Saying he moved back to his room where Khushi was sleeping. He did as he promised. Muskaan stood watching him moving.

Muskaan: There is nothing to be scared of Love bhai. Hope you will see this before it is too late.
but on the other hand Arnav was planning something else.

Arnav: I should meet Khushi's parents and make them understand the situation. I should make them accept Khushi. It is better to take any punishment she gives me than see her yearning and struggling like this.

He said seeing the little piece of jewelry in his hand that he took out from the cupboard. It was a beautiful handmade gold set.

On the other side of the city, Arjun was sitting with Lavanya in his home's dining table, having their After dinner coffee.

Lavanya: Its been months since you saw Khushi Arjun. Did you get any lead?

Arjun: I did get. But..I need strong proofs. I did not see them clearly La. But Its just a suspicion.

Lavanya: Do something! Her parent's and my parents anyway don't care for her. But I know that she is in danger.

Arjun: Relax La. I know! I do believe you. I have seen her myself and I know how she is. I am gathering information. Don't worry. We will find her soon.

Lavanya: Whom do you think is the person?

Arjun: Your bhai's former boss and present Rival. Arnav Singh Raizada, The ASR!
