Part 62 Furious Khushi

"Because of you I got rid of the curse, Khushi," Arnav said emotionally.

Khushi hugged him delightedly.

"I can't believe you are out of the curse" She kissed his cheek strongly.

"Even I can't believe it. You know how I felt when I didn't transform after seeing the moon?"

Khushi pulled herself from the hug and asked,

"Didn't even you feel anything weird?"

Arnav nodded no smilingly.

"Wow... what a great change!" she pecked his lips.

She again looked at him and asked,

"Why didn't you tell me about it when you SWEATED? You got the confirmation that you got rid of the curse, right?"

"I so wanted to tell you that right away but I changed my mind"

"Why?" she frowned with a pout.

"I thought to surprise you coming in front of you on the full moon day... it would have been a big blow to your father too...! But before that, many things happened. I could not implement my plan" he felt sad.

"You have no idea how thrilling, horrified, nervous, and fear-filled night this was for us"

"I know. They snatched my phone too. That's why I could not convey any message to you"

"I created a big mess in the SP office," she said gritting her teeth.

"Is it?" Arnav raised his brows.

"What do you think, I would leave him easily? By now, everyone would have known about his ploy..."

"Khushi, some severe action may be taken against him"

"Let them take action against him. He misused his power. How could he do that? Let him enjoy the punishment" She said gritting his teeth.

"Relax..."

"How could I be, Arnav? Because of his bloody father, you faced the worst in your life. What about your parents? What's their mistake in this? Their struggle is no less than yours...! How would have they felt if something horrible had happened to you? They would have waited for you to be absolved from the curse, right?"

Arnav nodded yes. Something sparkled in Khushi's mind.

"They should have known how to get rid of the curse, right?" She asked with a horrible expression.

Arnav smiled biting his lips.

"Oh, my god... that means, they should have understood that we intimated..."

Arnav nodded yes, raising his brows, and pressing his lips cutely.

"I was just ten years old when your grandfather cursed me. What did I know about intimacy at that time? I don't even know if I can get rid of the curse because my parents didn't clear it to me because it's an ADULT matter"

"Then how did you know about it?"

"When Sheetal proposed to me, I refused her without a second thought because I was a werewolf but she didn't leave me. She kept on nagging me and tortured me like hell. I didn't know what to do but I'm sure she would leave me if she got to know the truth. Yet, I wanted to tell her the truth because this is not a matter to be hidden. I told Mom about Sheetal. That was when she told me about the solution. I got to know only a girl could be the absolver of my curse. I told Sheetal the truth. As I expected, she left me simply"

"You would have felt bad, right?"

"No... I know no one would accept the werewolf. She might have stayed if I had told her about the solution but I could not. As it would not work if I revealed it to the girl. This is why my parents have gladly arranged our marriage. They believed I would get rid of the curse after our wedding"

Khushi kept her hands on her head.

"What have you done Khushi..." She blabbered.

She took a deep breath and stood straight. Arnav looked at her amazed.

"So what if we intimated? Only because of that, you are alive today... or, else, my father's men would have finished you by now"

Arnav nodded yes. That was when they heard,

"You are right..."

They saw Arvind and Ratna standing. Khushi rushed behind Arnav and hid. Arnav was dumbfounded as he expected her to be brave. He scratched his head feeling embarrassed. Arvind and Ratna came to them. Ratna went in front of Khushi, who was closing her eyes tightly, biting her nail.

"Thank you so much..." Ratna said.

Khushi opened her eyes and looked at her gulping down.

"Of course, what you did is wrong. Being a mother, I should stand against it. But I have no choice other than thanking you because of that WRONG, my son is alive today"

Khushi smiled awkwardly.

Arvind gestured to Ratna and they walked, didn't want to embarrass them more.

Khushi looked at Arnav making a face.

"This is embarrassing..." She said.

"I'm the reason. If I had accepted your proposal, you would not have submitted yourself to me..."

"There is nothing to think about, Arnav. It's done. I submitted myself and you got rid of the curse. I can do nothing if they think of me wrongly" she pouted.

"They won't. They knew what you had done to me. You not only got me out of the curse but also saved my life. They are not ungrateful to think of you wrong. They will worship you. Mark my words"

"Ok, lets go then..."

"Where?"

"To your house"

"Are you going to come to our house?"

"Do you want me to go to HIS house?"

"Khushi, listen to me..."

"Arnav please, we have been standing for one another so far. I expect the same from you hereafter too..."

"I always stand for you. No doubt but he did that to save you from the werewolf"

"Arnav, I don't want to talk about it"

"Khushi..."

"It's my promise... if you respect me, don't talk about it again"

Arnav felt helpless. Clutching his hand, she walked. Arnav silently followed her.

When she came to Arvind's car, they saw Shashi getting down from his jeep. Khushi gritted her teeth wrathfully. Shashi was shocked to see Arnav in HUMAN form. He didn't understand anything because his men had not called him. Khushi walked towards him, dragging Arnav with her.

"Why are you here? To see if your men killed MY Arnav or not?"

Shashi was staring at Arnav unbelievably.

"Did you lie to Khushi that you are a werewolf?" Shashi asked Arnav.

Arnav nodded no.

"Then... how..."

Cutting him,

"What do you mean how? Did you want to ask how are you alive?" Khushi sneered.

"What's happening Arnav?" Shashi asked as his head blasted anytime in confusion.

"I got rid of the curse..." Arnav said.

Khushi, who was so brave till then felt awkward. After all, Shashi was her father. How could she let him know the cause? After all, she intimated with Arnav. But Arnav's next stance cooled her down.

"When your father died, the curse is also gone..."

Shashi was thunderstruck. Khushi sighed in relief.

"Why didn't you tell Khushi about it?" Shashi asked. He knew if Khushi had known about it, she would not have been quiet when he opposed the wedding.

"He was supposed to surprise me on the full moon day... but before that, you planned to kill him"

"I don't know..."

"Enough... I'm not ready to listen to any of your damn excuses. I don't want to talk to you"

"Khushiiii..."

"I told you already. You are not my father. Our relationship ended when you got ready to kill my happiness. You would not have thought of killing Arnav if your love for me was true."

"Khushi, just think standing in my shoes"

"Did you think standing in my shoes?" Khushi asked wrathfully.

Shashi was stuck.

"Did you think how would I live without Arnav? Did you think you could console me after killing him?"

Shashi bowed down.

"Didn't I say, I would kill myself if I didn't get Arnav? Yet, you tried to kill him. What does that mean? You don't care about my life. You won't mind about me killing myself..." She yelled.

Arvind and Ratna looked at each other painfully.

"Arnav..." Shashi tried to say something,

"Don't you dare try to manipulate him. he won't do anything in your favor because I had his promise. He won't do anything going against my words. Understand that"

Khushi started dragging Arnav towards their car, leaving helpless Shashi.
