Part 48 Handling Sheetal

Sheetal headed to the SP Bungalow to meet Khushi. She was stopped by the guards. Khushi who was on call saw Sheetal getting stopped by the guards. Yet, she didn't react and continued talking on her mobile.

"Who are you, madam?" the security asked.

"I'm Khushi's friend"

"Oh... let me ask her"

The security called SP Bangalow's number. Khushi picked up the call.

"Yeah, tell me, Anna(brother)"

"Madam, someone is here to meet you. She says she is your friend"

"My friend?" Khushi smirked.

Khushi came out and saw Sheetal. She gestured for the guard to send her in. The guard let Sheetal in.

"I will talk to you later" Khushi put her phone in her kurta pocket and came downstairs.

Sheetal smiled at her and asked,

"How are you?"

"Doing good. Tell me, why did you lie to the guards that you are my friend?"

"I want to tell you something"

"Tell me..."

"It's personal," Sheetal said looking at the servant.

"Let's go"

Khushi brought Sheetal to her room.

"Tell me, what do you want to tell me"

"Have you watched the news?"

"Did you come here to ask this?" she chuckled.

"Please answer my question"

"I always do"

"Did you watch the news about the werewolf?"

"Oh... that one? Yeah... I laughed a lot watching it. it was a super comedy"

"There is nothing to laugh. It's true"

"Whaaat?" She chuckled.

"Yes, it's true"

"What do you think about me? Am I looking like an idiot?"

"No... the werewolf is real and the werewolf is none other than Arnav"

Khushi looked at her for a whole minute and burst out laughing. Sheetal looked at her disappointedly.

"There is nothing to laugh, Khushi. Arnav himself told me..."

"That idiot told me too... but it's not true. He said that to know whether I would accept him or not. He would have done the same with you too. You would have left him, thinking that he was a werewolf, Right?"

Sheetal gulped down hard.

"See, Sheetal, I'm not stupid to trust such a fictional character. And I'm not ready to miss Arnav like an EPIC character. You know what? Even though he is a werewolf, I will not leave him. Just because he transforms on the full moon nights, why should I leave him? Is not remaining 27 nights enough to live my life with him happily? How could I do the blunder?" She smirked.

Sheetal gulped down hard.

"Thank God, it's not true... so, even a full moon night will not be wasted..."

"What about the news? Don't you trust it?"

"How could I trust it? the man didn't even show any proof... he doesn't have photos or videos... he is a fraud. Who will trust him?"

"Why would he lie?"

"Who knows? He might have told that to hide his crime"

"What do you mean crime?"

"What was he doing in the reserve forest at midnight? He should have gone there on purpose. To hide it, he should have lied"

"But, why do you take a risk?"

"Risk? What do you mean risk?"

"I mean, what if Arnav is really a werewolf? Will not it be a risk for your life?"

"I don't believe the werewolf concept. So, I can take a risk because I love Arnav and vice versa. You know what, I was at Arnav's house when the news ran. His parents looked cool about the news. If it is true, would not have they reacted oddly?"

"Were you at Arnav's place?" she asked unbelievably.

"Yeah, my father was not in town yesterday. So, he sent me to his house. I stayed there last night"

Sheetal was shocked. Did Khushi stay at Arnav's place? That too, her father sent her there... what the hell?

"By the way, Sheetal, why are you so interested in separating me from Arnav?" she asked sarcastically.

"No no... nothing is like that. I just don't want you to fall for a werewolf"

"Thank you so much for your concern but fortunately, Werewolf is a myth. I will refer you to a few werewolf movies, if you still have doubts. you will get cleared if you watched them"

Sheetal smiled awkwardly.

"Ok, sheetal... will see you soon, with our wedding invitation. You should surely come to our wedding because you are the only one who is concerned for me" Khushi said smilingly.

"Wedding?"

Khushi nodded yes.

"But, there is a time for your wedding. However, you have to complete your studies... then only you will get married..."

Khushi smiled without saying anything which made Sheetal confused. She didn't know whether Khushi was telling the truth or not. She was supposed to ask Khushi something, Khushi took her phone and looked. She hit her forehead.

"Oh, God... I have not disconnected the call yet..." she said and kept the phone on her ear.

"Hello..."

"...."

"Hey, are you still on the line...? Sorry, sorry, I thought, I disconnected the call"

Khushi looked at Sheetal and said,

"Excuse me, Sheetal"

Sheetal nodded helplessly and walked downstairs. Khushi waited until she left and laughed on the phone. Yes, the person on the other side was none other than Arnav.

"Thank God, you called me. or else, I would have blurt out the truth" She laughed again.

"I know she would meet you or, call you. I don't want you to conflict with me which made Sheetal suspect us"

"Even though she suspects us, she could do nothing"

"No Khushi, don't underestimate her. She is a cunning woman. What's necessary for her to spend time on us if she doesn't care?"

"Yeah, you have a point"

"Mmm..."

"Do you know what her face looked like when I said I stayed at your place?"

"Is it?"

"Yeah, jealousy was seethed in his face"

"That's why I say, don't underestimate her"

"Ok... I won't... go home and tell Uncle and Aunty about our proposal. Bring them to our home and fix OUR WEDDING"

"You are too much you know"

"Is it?"

"then what? Which daughter would talk to her father so daringly and ask him to fix her wedding soon?"

"I do..."

"That's why I said you are too much"

"Are you happy or not?"

"This question is not necessary. You know how happy I'm"

"But, I didn't see anything on your face..."

"How could you see? After all, I'm a Cold Blood Monster" He chuckled.

"Wow... from when the CBM started countering?"

Arnav smiled and said,

"I didn't expect you would take our wedding talk further and definitely didn't expect Uncle would also accept your demand. I'm so glad about it"

"I know you would be glad, that's why I spoke to him about our wedding"

"I don't know what can I do for you, Khushi,"

"You can do one thing"

"What? Tell me, I will do anything for you"

"Love me always like you DID"

"Did? I still love you and will be loving you for my whole life"

"I think you have not understood what I meant"

"What did you mean, Khushi?"

"I said love me ALWAYS like you DID once... at your place"

Arnav gulped down hard as he understood she was talking about their intimacy.

"Khushi, I hope you don't talk about it to make me hopeful"

"I talk about it to you to make you hopeful TOO... I really like how you made love to me... it was so adorable"

"didn't you feel bad for intimating with me?"

"Do you feel bad for intimating with me?"

"How would I?"

"Then, how would I?"

"It's because I know you created such a situation to make me trust you"

"It's true... I wanted you to trust me. that's why I intentionally created the situation and tempted you"

"I want to talk to you about it but, I can't. I will talk to you about it after our marriage"

"Oi, hello, you can DO it before marriage but, you can't talk about it... so funny"

Arnav smiled.

"When I do that, I forget myself but talking about it is different"

"Mind you tell me how?"

"If I talk, it will make me feel like I want it right away"

"Ohhhhh..."

"Ok, bye..."

"What happened?"

"I don't want to talk about it. It will make my condition worse... bye"

"Do one thing... wear the white shirt and sleep" she whispered.

Arnav closed his eyes and tightened his jaws.

"Arnie..." Khushi called softly.

"Bye, Khushi" he disconnected the call and kicked the bike.
