Part 26 Conclusion

"His name is Arnav Singh Raizada, sir"

Shashi didn't wonder.

"Ok, admit them to the hospital," Shashi said.

"Ok, sir..."

"Ask the college authority to return immediately ending the trip"

"They already decided the same, sir. They will start tomorrow morning"

"Mmm... give the phone to the boy if he is there"

"Where is the boy who hit them?" the inspector asked.

At the same time, Arnav came there.

"He is the one," the professor said.

"SP sir wants to talk to you" he passed the mobile.

Arnav was stuck. Taking the phone, Arnav spoke.

"Uncle... actually..."

"How is Khushi?"

"She is distraught, uncle" he gulped hard.

"Could you do me a favor?"

"Yes, uncle"

"Bring Khushi home"

"Ok, uncle"

"Immediately"

Arnav looked at his professor.

"Uncle, our professor is here. Will you talk to him?"

"Pass the phone..."

"SP sir is on the line," Arnav said.

The professor took the phone, gulping down.

"Sir..."

"This is how you are running a college? If you can't make sure of girls' security, then why the hell did you arrange for a trip? Do you know how excitedly my daughter came for the trip?"

"We are really sorry, sir... this is unexpected. We didn't know those guys would stoop so low"

"I want them to be dismissed"

"Sir...he is a politician's son, sir"

"Politician my foot... I will show the police power. Send my daughter home immediately"

"Sure sir... we will send her with our staff"

"No need. Send her with Arnav... he will bring her safely"

"Ok, sir..." the professor said in a low tone and gave the phone to Arnav.

"Arnav, the inspector will bring you," Shashi said.

"Ok, uncle" Arnav disconnected the call.

"Pack your things," the inspector said

Arnav nodded ok and came to his room. He stuffed his things in his bag. Taking it he headed to Khushi's room. She was still crying and a few girls were trying to console her.

"Lavanya, pack her things. I'm taking her home" Arnav said.

Khushi looked at him and sat on the bed. Arnav nodded his head. Taking a sweater and a muffler, he made her wear that.

"Come"

Taking her bag, he took her with him. After loading the bag in the police jeep, he opened the door for her. She sat, clutching his hand. Without caring about anything, Arnav sat with her. The car started towards Ooty. Arnav looked at her painfully. Khushi leaned on his shoulder and cried again. Arnav circled her shoulders protectively.

Khushi was scared like hell. She never felt like that. She could not imagine her condition without Arnav. What would have happened if Arnav hadn't come there? She could not imagine... she didn't want to...!

After a while, she slept on his shoulder. Arnav made her lay on his lap.

They reached Ooty early in the morning. Shashi was waiting for them. He saw Khushi sleeping on Arnav's lap.

"Khushi..." Arnav tapped her cheek softly.

"Don't wake her up, Arnav. Let her sleep" Shashi said.

Arnav looked at him and nodded ok. He knew she would start crying again if she saw her father.

"Could you pick her up?" Shashi asked.

Arnav nodded yes. He picked her in his arms and got down from the car. Shashi wondered seeing him doing that without effort. Arnav walked towards her room. He kept her on the bed and saw her clutching his collar. He looked at Shashi from the corner of his eyes who gulped down. He slowly removed her hand.

"She is scared, uncle"

Shashi nodded his head.

"I know... she is so sensitive. No girl could stand the situation no matter how brave she is"

Arnav nodded yes.

"Be with her uncle..."

"Won't you be with her?" Asked Shashi which stunned Arnav.

"She will search for you and will get disappointed if you are not here"

Arnav didn't know what to say.

"I may go to the office if I get a call. That's why I want you to be here..."

Arnav nodded ok. Shashi sat next to Khushi on the bed and caressed her hair.

"I'm not going to leave them easily," Shashi said wrathfully.

"Thanks, Arnav... I didn't even imagine what would have happened if you were not there"

"She is my friend, uncle. Protecting her is my duty. I just did that"

Shashi was silent. He leaned on the bed's headboard. He opened his eyes as his phone rang. He saw a new number. Yet, he attended it.

"Hello, who is this?"

"Gandiban speaking"

Shashi was alerted. He was Parthiban's father. Yet, he asked,

"Which Gandiban?"

"MLA Gandiban... Parthiban's father..."

"Why did you call me?"

"My son is in the hospital. He is already hurt. Please don't file a case on him..."

"Do you know what he tried to do? He tried to humiliate my daughter... he tried to make her nude, damn it..." he shouted.

"Sir... if you want, you can dismiss him from the college but don't file the case. The election is nearing. The date will be announced soon. It's about my political future"

"Doesn't my daughter have a future?"

"If you have no problem, I will get my son married to your daughter"

"Stop your nonsense... he tried to capture her nude video and you want me to get them married? (Arnav was horrified... Marriage?) What do you think of my daughter? Hann? Do you know what's her condition now?"

"Sir, I will do whatever you want. To let you know that only I said that. Please help me..."

"You have no idea what I'm going through. What will you do if your daughter is in my daughter's place? Will you accept the demand?"

"I know you are angry. I will talk to you later..." Gandiban disconnected the call.

"Bloody Bast*** after insulting Khushi, how dare he talk about getting her married to that scoundrel...!"

Arnav gritted his teeth. He should have killed Parthiban, he supposed.

Khushi blabbered something in her sleep. Arnav and Shashi looked at her. She became calm. Shashi could not hold himself from sleeping. He slept leaning on the headboard but Arnav didn't sleep. He was looking at the daughter and father. Their trust in him feared him to death. He was sure they liked him so much. What would he tell them if they approached him? Could he tell them the truth? He didn't know.

The next morning

Khushi blabbered again and sat on the bed jerking which made Shashi wake up.

"Khushi..."

Khushi looked at Shashi and hugged him.

"Dad..." she choked.

"Shhhh... don't cry..."

"If Arnav was not there, I would have died, Dad"

"Shhh..."

"You know how he hit them?"

Shashi was silent.

"He became a ghost Dad... he not only beat them up but also broke their legs and hands"

"They deserve it. Be calm..."

"When did Arnav leave?"

"He doesn't leave..." Shashi smiled at Arnav.

Khushi looked at him turning her head. Arnav smiled at her. In no time, she came to him and clutched his hand, making him stunned.

"Thank you so much, Arnav,"

Arnav stood not knowing how to react to it. Shashi smiled seeing his state. He came to them and caressed her hair. Khushi looked at him and left his hand.

"Are you all right?" Arnav asked.

She was silent.

"Relax... don't stress yourself"

"See, Arnav is waiting for you here..." Shashi said.

Khushi nodded yes.

"Arnav, you guys don't go to the college. Be with Khushi until she becomes normal... take her somewhere... what say Khushi?"

"I'm all right, Dad," Khushi said.

"I didn't expect this from you," Shashi said sadly.

"What?"

"I thought you would utilize the chance to roam with Arnav"

Khushi smiled.

"Finally, she smiled" Shashi smiled.

That was when Shashi got a call. He attended it.

"Mmm... Coming..." he disconnected the call.

"Arnav, I want to go urgently"

Arnav nodded ok.

"Beta, don't make Arnav disappoint by crying again. Ok?"

Khushi nodded and Shashi left.

Khushi looked at Arnav. He touched her head smiling softly. That made Khushi emotional.

"Shhh..."

"What would have happened if you had not come there on time?"

"But, I came..."

"You know what I went through?"

"I know"

"I was scared when they took me, closing my mouth. I was nervous when they tore my clothes"

"Khushi, please relax...don't think about it again... forget it, Khushi"

She sat on the bed, holding her head. Arnav sat next to her.

"Think it's a nightmare..."

"I would not have been alive..."

"Shhh..."

"But... you came to save me...! There is a connection between us... that brought you there on time"

Arnav gulped down.

"I don't want to go to college"

"Will you come to my house?"

She nodded no hurriedly.

"I don't want your parents to know what happened to me"

Arnav felt bad for her.

"OK, we will go to Botanical Garden tomorrow"

She nodded no.

"FLOWER SHOW started in the Botanical Garden today. You will like it. We will go tomorrow"

"Are you going to go home now?"

Arnav nodded no, making her feel relieved.

On the other side, Shashi was horrified to see the guys who were beaten up by Arnav. Yes, he was in the hospital. He could not believe a single man could beat six guys to this extent. It would take a minimum of two months for them to recover. What kind was Arnav? How could it be possible for a college student? Was Arnav that angry man? Or, did he get angry only for his daughter? To date, he was not sure whether Arnav had feelings for Khushi. But now, he had no doubt. Without having special feelings in his heart for her, he could not beat the guys who tried to assault Khushi. He was sure Arnav also had feelings for Khushi and he would do everything for her no matter what it would take. He concluded.

To be continued...
