Part 37

Next Morning.

Khushi opened her eyes in her husband's embrace. She smiled and looked at his face. She got mesmerized and couldn't take her eyes off his face. He looks so handsome while sleeping. Hair stance which was falling on his forehead has that potential to make her go crazy. She was admiring his face forgetting everything. After few seconds....

Arnav: If you look at me intensely, I will not let you get out of bed.

Khushi's eyes popped out and she tried to push him but he gripped her waist more tightly not letting her to win.

Arnav(smirking): This is the only thing I do not want to lose. Don't try. You can't win.

Khushi: Ok I agree. I have lost.

Arnav(huskily): but If you think you can "win". You can defeat me in just a few seconds.

Khushi bitted her lips controlling her blush.

Khushi: I do not want you to be defeated.

Arnav (whispering): Then let me win. Do you know the bed is the only place where we both win?

Khushi ( buried her face in his chest): Stop talking like this.

Arnav: if you can't bear my talk then what will you do when I...

Khushi closed his mouth with her palm and nodded no closing her eyes.

Arnav(removing her palm): ok fine. If I do not speak anything, you should do what I say.

Khushi cocked her brows like "what?"

Arnav(in killer husky tone): Kiss me.

Khushi( Widening her eyes): Noooo.

Arnav(smirking): Ok... then allow me to kiss you.

Khushi nodded no and tried to get down from the bed. Arnav pulled her back to him and rolled her underneath him. He pinned her hands above her head.

Arnav: you know very well, you can't win over me in this game. Didn't I say don't try?

Khushi switched her gaze to somewhere. Her hands were in Arnav's hold. Though it seems not so tight but she couldn't take it out of his clutch.

Arnav: Khushi..... he called gauzily.

Khushi closed her eyes panting.

Arnav: Won't you let me kiss you? He caressed his nose on her cheek.

Khushi felt something was grinding inside her stomach. She looked at his face with her heavy breathe. Why the hell this man wants her permission? Is not he her husband? Doesn't he have all the rights on her? How a girl could say "go ahead" shamelessly?

She didn't know what to say. She shifted her gaze to somewhere while thinking what to reply. But she didn't want to say "NO". She got blew about her own feelings. She understood the day he suffered from cold fever that what Arnav mean to her. Her body still gets goose bumps no matter how many times she thinks about it.

Arnav(perplexed): Khushi, I just asked your permission to kiss you. Why are you reacting like I have asked about "how did you save me that day?"

Khushi shocked to the core. Does he know what she is thinking?

Arnav: By the way, when are you going to do it again? (pause) for me?

Arnav always enjoys whenever she suffocates in "those" thoughts. It's worth watching to see Khushi Gupta speechless.

Arnav: I'm waiting for the day that will take place. And I know it will be the most wonderful memory of my life.

Khushi couldn't resist herself to call DM for her help. As usual DM didn't disappoint her. A "call" came as her savior. Land line started ringing. They know that very few people call through the land line. Buaji is also one among them. Arnav twirled beside Khushi allowing her to attend the call. Yes. What they guessed was right. It was Buaji.

Buaji: Arrey Koosi.. How are you... parameswari?

Khushi: Jee Buaji. I'm fine.

Arnav sat on the bed listening to her.

Buaji: When do you intend to return?

Khushi: Return?

Buaji: Arrey Sankadevi, did you forget? Three months of contract finishes today. What are you going to do? Are you coming or not?

Khushi was shocked. Have three months passed? How did she miss that? She looked at Arnav nervously. What could she say to Buaji, when she herself is not clear about it?

Khushi: Buaji.. I'm busy in the kitchen preparing breakfast. I will call you later.

She disconnected the call before Buaji asks anything.

Arnav: What's the matter Khushi?

Khushi: Our contract period is getting over today. Buaji is calling me back home.

Arnav's face drained. Going back? Damn.

Arnav: Is it getting over today? Damn I have to attend important client meets today. How did I miss it? He said frustrated.

Khushi: It's not your mistake Arnavji. Happenings of our lives occupied our minds.

Arnav: But I have rescheduled all my programs today which were got canceled due to rain and my fever. I can't cancel it again at the same time how will I go leaving you?

Khushi: It's ok Arnavji I will stay if you want.

He took some second to compose himself.

Arnav: You are going to meet your mother after a long time. Because of me you are already away from her. I don't want to be more selfish Khushi.

Instead of feeling happy to meet her mother, she felt bad for getting separated from Arnav.

Khushi: What do I tell them about our marriage? I'm sure that they will be happy when they come to know about you but if they know about our marriage, they will be very upset.

Arnav: Then don't say them anything. Not even about "chotte" too.

Khushi(confusingly): but why?

Arnav: Do you trust me?

Khushi: more than myself.

Arnav: Then leave it on me. Don't say anything until I come to Lucknow. ok?

Khushi: Mmm

Arnav: Call Buaji and say that you are coming to Lucknow.

Khushi: What can I say if they inquire about your mother?

Arnav: Say, we shifted her to hospital as she need severe medical support hereon.

She nodded yes and about to take the receiver to call Buaji, the phone started ringing again. Khushi lifted the receiver and started blabbering without hearing opposite side.

Khushi: Buaji tomorrow I'm coming to Lucknow ...

"Buaji?" Khushi heard a woman voice from opposite side and that was not Buaji's voice.

Khushi (made up herself): Jee I'm sorry. I thought it's my Buaji. May I know who are you?

Woman: I would like to talk to Hari prakash? I'm his relative. I just want to know about his mother's health.

Khushi: HPji didn't return back yet. I will convey your message if you tell your name.

Woman: No thanks madam. I will call him later. May I know who is speaking?

Khushi: Me? I'm....

She looked at Arnav who was admiring her speaking on phone lying on the bed got up swiftly and came close to her.

Arnav(smilingly): Say, you are my wife.

Khushi(blushingly): Mrs. Arnav Singh Raizada.

She cut the call with the same blush. Arnav gently pulled her on his chest and kissed her forehead feeling happy.

The person who was on other side fumed in anger and broke the phone throwing it on the ground. Yes undoubtedly she was none other than Sheetal.

Sheetal(shouting): Shiiiiiit....... What the hellllllll..... Noooooo.

She sat on the floor panting with her reddened eyes. She closed her eyes to get herself calm.

How it happened and when? Mrs. ASR? When did they get married? It's hundred percent sure that they didn't get married when she met her in RM. Then when did it happen without her knowledge when she was monitoring them? How could a famous business tycoon's marriage held secretly? Or are they talking about the wedding which is going to be held? What the bloody heck is this? She was damn sure, Khushi was not in love with Arnav when she met her in RM that day. Perhaps after that she might have started loving him. Who will say "NO" to the luxuries life? Is she fool to refuse the Millionaire's Love?

Wait..... Didn't she say that she is going to Lucknow tomorrow? And who is her Buaji? Why is she going to Lucknow? Is she from Lucknow? What if she stayed at ASR's place for time being? But why? For which purpose? Is she missing something?

Daaaaaamn..... This ASR and his RM..... It's like a ghost bungalow that no one can dare to enter in. What is happening inside his home is always mystery. Adding to it that fool Aman. No matter how much she tried to get information but she could not get a word from him. She clutched her own hair in frustration.

Sheetal(self talk): You threw me out of your office but you couldn't send me out of your life. You and your so called Mrs will pay for insulting me. And marriage???? I will never let it happen. If you are not mine, you can't belong to anyone else. Get ready for the storm ARS. This time you are going to see Sheetal Kapoor's another side... dangerous side. I see how you are getting her. I will dare to do anything to snatch you.

To be continued....
