Part41

For the first time Arnav felt something wired inside his heart. He was worried about Khushi. Who was that woman? Whom she was looking for? If she was spying him then he could handle it. And another doubt hit his mind. Could a girl jump on a high wall easily? Is she really a woman or a man in a Burqa? He saw Khushi coming with Aaloo poori plate smilingly. He composed himself and smiled.

Khushi: Buaji made aloo poori for me.

Arnav: Yah. it's your favorite.

Khushi sensed his changed tone.

Khushi: Arnavji are you ok?

Arnav: What happen to me? I'm fine Khushi.

Khushi forwarded the morsel, Arnav ate it. His eyes refused to leave the window. His mind lost its peace. He ate silently which made Khushi perplexed. What happen to him suddenly? Was not he so romantic few minutes ago?  Arnav sensed her worry. He should not make her upset. He slightly bit her finger and she jerked.

Arnav: What are you looking at my face?

Khushi: Are you alright?

Arnav: Yah Khushi... I'm alright. (pause) I... just thought of my mother.(he lied and he knew Khushi would believe it) She would have been happy if she is alive.

Khushi kept the plate aside and hugged him which brought smile on Arnav's face.

Arnav: Seems like, I should think about my mother often?

Khushi hit his chest and he chuckled.

Arnav: Khushi is this place safe?

Khushi (frowning): Means?

Arnav: I mean you three are woman and all alone.

Khushi(frowning): Arnavji... see... how crowded this place is.

Arnav(pointing at the window): But that side is empty.

Khushi: Because it's an empty land and also a corner plot. So.

Arnav: Keep that window closed. It's not looking safe.

Khushi: Arnavji what happen to you?  you are worrying about the window all of a sudden?

Arnav: Of course I'm. Your safety is my priority.

Khushi: Ok baba. Your words are commands to me.

Arnav wanted to say "Not like that" but no. He wanted her to follow his words as an order in this matter.

Arnav: When will we meet again?

Khushi: In the marriage hall.

Arnav(shocked): What!!!

Khushi: Buaji will not allow me to step out of the house.

Arnav: But why?

Khushi: it's a custom.

Arnav(feeling bad): Won't you come out for anything?

Khushi: Of course I will come to Devi Maiya temple to do kuldevi pooja.

Arnav: When will you go?

Khushi: May be tomorrow or over morrow.

Arnav: Text me your program.

Khushi: Why?

Arnav: What do you mean "why?"

Khushi: Because the great Arnav Singh Raizada knew everything. Nothing is impossible for him. He could bring me to his place and could make me stay with him. He would make my people agree for the marriage even though if I'm not fine with it. Then what's the necessary for my information? Find it out by yourself.

Arnav: Do you think I can't find it out?

Khushi: You shouldn't ask Buaji. She may get suspect.

Arnav: Don't worry. I won't ask her. Happy?

Khushi: I don't know how to thank you Arnavji.

Arnav(chuckled): All of a sudden what happen?

Khushi: I was so scared thinking about our marriage. I can't imagine what will be their reaction if they get to know that I stayed at your place.

Arnav: I'm sorry. Because of me you are in embarrassment. That time I didn't think anything more then you.

Khushi: Arnavji... you don't have to be worried. Everything happened with reason. Somehow it will happen because we destined for each other. You are my destiny.

Arnav: Thank you Khushi. Thank you for everything.

Khushi: But what would have you done if they had been asked you the letter wrote by Ratna aunty?

Arnav: I would have given it to them.

Khushi(confusing): But how?

Arnav: I checked Maa's cupboard yesterday night and found a letter.

Khsuhi: Really... Aunty wrote a letter?

Arnav: Yah.

Khushi: Where is it? Give it to me na...

Arnav: I will bring it next time.

Khushi: What did she write in it?

Arnav: You can read it by yourself.

Khushi: Don't forget to bring it next time.

Arnav nodded yes looking at the window. He thought something. He removed his phone and pretended like checking message.

Arnav: I should go.

Khushi looked at him surprisingly.

Arnav: I got Aman's signal. He said smilingly.

Khushi smiled at him nodding ok. Arnav kissed her forehead and left GH. He started the car while dialing Aman's number without delay.

Arnav: Where are you?

Aman: I got a marriage hall. I'm finalizing it.

Arnav: Ok. Come to RM.

Aman (sensing something): Anything serious?

Arnav: Think so. We will talk in person.

Aman: I will be there in half an hour.

He cut the call and headed to the car. At the same time he received the call from Rohan.

Aman: Yes Rohan.

Rohan: ASR got to know about the issue.

Aman(shocked): What do you mean?

Rohan: As usual, I was monitoring Khushi Ma'am home. I saw someone who was in burqa peeping inside GH through the window. I was supposed to go but before I do that, that person started running and I saw ASR standing at the window looking at the person.

Aman: What about the person? Who is she?

Rohan: I'm not sure that person is he or she.

Aman: What!! You said that that person was in burqa. Then it must be a woman.

Rohan: No. That person jumped over the four feet wall so efficiently.

Aman: What the hell?

Rohan: yes sir. I followed that person but he/she got vanished inside the crowded market area. But I will reach him/her as soon as possible. (pause) Sir Can I ask you something?

Aman: Anything.

Rohan: Do you suspect anybody?

Aman:ASR has a lot of enemies in the business world.

Rohan: If they are doing this for business rivalry then why they are cornering Khushi Ma'am instead of ASR? Why should not that person be involved in his personal life? because you said, Khushi Ma'am is not familiar to the business world and very few people know about her.

Aman: It's really a valid point. Yes, even AR staffs don't know about Khushi.

Rohan: Could you say who are known about Khushi?

Aman: Me, my mom and Dhadi knows about her presence in RM.

Rohan: We should think in all the possible ways sir.

Aman: Ok. Keep tabbing. Nothing unpleasant should happen. Add as many people as you want. Strengthen the security around GH. Follow Khushi wherever she goes.

Rohan: Yes sir. He disconnected the call.

Aman felt helpless. This is what he feared of. He didn't want Arnav to know about the issue because he wanted Arnav to enjoy the happiest period of his life. This is his big time which he has been expecting since long. But situation is not easy like what he thought. But now, It will be better if Arnav knows the problem.

RM

Aman silently heard everything from Arnav. Though Arnav didn't show his fear but Aman could read it from his body language. Arnav got puzzled seeing Aman numb.

Arnav: Why don't you say anything damn it?

Aman: I got to know it already from my man.

Arnav: What???????????? But how?

Aman: My man is there near GH, because I want Khushi to be safe.

Arnav: But what made you worry about her safety? (pause) Anything serious? He asked panicking.

Aman(nodding yes): Someone is following her.

Arnav(shocking) : Whaaat!! But why?

Aman: I have no answer for your question right now but we will get it soon.

Arnav: Why did not you tell me this before?

Aman: I want you to enjoy your marriage in fullest. That's why I didn't want to keep you in tension.

Arnav: But why they are following Khushi? Do you know who are they?

Aman: No.

Arnav: We must do something quick.

Aman: Definitely. You should be careful until your marriage ASR. (Arnav nodded thoughtfully.) Leave this to me. Just enjoy your time with Khushi. Ok?

Arnav: How could I be cool?

Aman: Won't you trust me?

Arnav: More than myself. But when it comes to Khushi, I can't hold myself.

Aman: Relax buddy. That's why I didn't say that to you. We will handle it. Don't worry.

Arnav smiled at him thankfully.

Other side of Lucknow

Sheetal was hauling at a man who was standing in front of her.

Sheetal: What have you done? Can't you do a simple work perfectly?

Man: I did not expect that ASR would be in her room.

Sheetal: ok it's happened. Leave it. But it should not happen again. Be careful Kishan.

Kishan: Sure.

Sheetal: Did you get any useful information from there?

Man: I have got much information. But I don't know, either it will help you or not.

Sheetal: I will decide it later. You just tell me.

Kishan: ASR and Khushi are going to get married soon. ASR and Khushi's mothers are friends. But they got to know about it only few days ago. Khushi's mother got her Kidney transplantation three months before and she got discharged from the hospital three days before. For the past three months, khushi had been serving for a woman in Delhi. So her boss helped for her mother's operation.

Sheetal: Stop, stop.... What did you say? She was serving for a woman?

Kishan: Yah. That's the job she was doing in Delhi.

Sheetal's face brightened devilishly.

Sheetal: So this is the matter? Her family did not know whom she stayed with. And they believe that she was serving a woman?

Sheetal(mind talk): ASR.... See how badly you and your would be wife got trapped to me? Poor you. You tried a lot to get her in your life and I'm going to destroy it in few minutes. (looking at Kishan) until tomorrow I need proper details about it.

Kishan nodded yes.

Sheetal: But be careful. ASR and Aman are horribly dangerous you can't imagine. It will be better if we die instead of being caught by them.

This is not unknown information for Kishan. He already knew about it very well that if he got caught then he will spend his remaining life in jail.
