Part 25 Plan of going to Lucknow

NK came with Bheem to send him off. Khushi came out of the room, and at the same time, they crossed her room. She got stuck seeing Bheem at that place. She rushed to him

"Uncle... You here?" she asked unbelievably.

Bheem was delighted to see Khushi.

"I was brought here for a purpose, beta"

"What purpose?"

"Ask ASR" he smiled.

Did Arnav bring him there? Just two days ago, he got his phone number from her. this was why he collected details about Bheem from her? But, why did he bring Bheem here?

"He was the one who brought me here but nothing to worry"

Khushi nodded ok with an awkward smile.

"Take care of Payal," Bheem said that wondered Khushi. how did Bheem know that Payal was there?

"Did you see Jeeji?" she asked.

"I saw her on the video projector. It's very sad to see her like this, beta"

Khushi could not understand why Arnav purposely made Bheem see Payal's condition.

"I'm leaving, beta"

"Jee" Khushi nodded ok.

Bheem left with NK. Shubham took Bheem to Lucknow. NK whispered something in Shubham's ear. He nodded ok and left.

Khushi came to Arnav's room. Arnav smiled at her mischievously.

"Can't you be without seeing me?" He asked inserting his hands in his pant pocket.

Without answering his question,

"Why did you bring Bheem, uncle, here?"

Arnav was about to say something, but Khushi continued.

"Don't say, 'to ask my hand for the marriage"

"See, you are thinking about our marriage anytime. What so hurry? Where will I go leaving you, Khushi? We will get married soon. But, I didn't bring Bheem to ask your hand for marriage because I don't need anyone's permission to marry my girl"

"I'm not your girl"

"Oh really? Come inside the room and say that if you have guts"

"I don't have to prove my gut level to you. Why did you bring Bheem uncle here?"

"Why should I answer you? You are questioning me as if I'm your husband...? Don't know what I'm going to do marrying you" He let out a sigh.

"Who asked you to marry me?"

"YOU..."

"Me? What rubbish? When did I ask you to marry me?"

"Every night... You are asking me to marry you coming in my dreams... You are not letting me sleep..." Arnav started moving towards her.

Khushi looked somewhere. As of now, Arnav reached her.

"Do you know what did you do in my dreams?" Khushi looked at him jerking, hearing his voice closer to her ear.

She got stuck, seeing his face just an inch away from hers. She tried to move back, but he pulled her close to him, wrapping her waist.

"You have no idea how you are torturing me... You sealed my lips with yours, lying on me..."

Khushi widened her eyes hearing his bold and open talk. Her blood stopped rushing.

"Why are you torturing me?" his voice was husky.

"It was you who kissed me" she stammered.

"you tortured me in my dreams. That's why I kissed you... just to feel it in real"

"How could you do it just because you want it? What about my feelings?"

"You too feel it..."

"I'm not getting dreams as you do"

"Then feel it in real"

He captured her lip, making her widen her eyes in shock. She hit his back and pulled his shirt. But Arnav hugged him tight. Khushi struggled as much as possible but she could not get her lip out of his mouth. After she stopped struggling, Arnav sucked her lip softly. Khushi closed her eyes slowly, feeling it. After a few seconds, Arnav released her lip that had been arrested by him. He looked at Khushi dizzily who was staying in his arms, closing her eyes. He peaked her closed eye tenderly.

"I told you I will get my proposal accepted in my way soon," he said.

Khushi opened her eyes and looked at him gulping down.

"I know you love me. That's why you relished my kiss even though you were shocked at first"

"You kissed me forcefully... I could not come out of your strong clutch. It doesn't mean I love you" She said in a feeble tone.

"You have the guts not to accept my proposal even after knowing what I can do... but, I know you are lying"

Khushi parted her lips.

"You are staying in my arms like my wife without hesitation and saying you don't love me?"

Khushi pushed him and stepped back making him smirk. She headed to the exit. She stopped hearing,

"Do you know about the case Rishi Gupta filed in the court against your father?"

She looked at him frowning.

"Case? Did he file?"

"Don't you know about it?"

Khushi nodded no.

"Didn't ever your father tell you about it?"

"No"

"Mr. Bheem told me about the case"

Khushi thought, biting her lip.

"Do you doubt Rishi Chacha?" she asked.

"Don't you?"

"In which means?"

"In many means... I think he is the root cause of every problem your family faced... Your parent's accident, Payal's attack, everything is making sense now." Arnav said.

Khushi nodded yes.

"What about your properties? How much do you have?"

"We have two hundred acres' wheat field and two complexes in Lucknow"

"Were those your family property?"

"Wheatfield and our house are our family properties. Buy the complexes are my father's earnings"

"Do you guys have the proper documents for the properties?"

"Of course, we have"

"Where are the documents of the properties?"

"At our house"

Arnav thought for a while,

"Get ready. We are going to Lucknow tomorrow" he said.

Khushi was dumbfounded.

"Tomorrow? But why?"

"We have some important work there"

"Are we going to bring our property documents?"

"For that also"

"What about Jeeji? Who will take care of her if we go to Lucknow?"

"Excuse me, Madam... you came here just a few days ago. We are taking care of her even before that... remember?"

"I didn't mean it... The Chinese doctors are here to treat Jeeji..."

"NK and Payal's doctors will take care of her."

Khushi thought shrinking her eyes and flipping her lip.

"Don't harass me by flipping your lip" he said eyeing her lip.

Khushi stood straight.

"Who is maintaining your house?"

"A few servants are there"

"Oh... who is paying them a salary?"

"Jeeji was paying them. Last month, I paid"

"How?"

"There are twenty-eight shops in our complexes. They deposit rent in our account every month. It's mine and Jeeji's joint account. We both will access it"

"Oh... Shall we stay at your house when we go to Lucknow?" Arnav asked.

"We can... But, how will I introduce you to them?" Khushi asked thoughtfully.

"Tell them the truth," Arnav said.

"Won't it create a problem if people get to know you are ASR?"

"I'm not talking about that truth. Tell them, I'm your would-be husband"

"Whaaat?"

"Is not it true?" he smirked.

"Nooo"

"Let's see"

Arnav headed to the exit to go out. Khushi rushed out, thinking that he was coming to catch her again and would do something with her, like kissing. Arnav stopped, seeing her running. He laughed understanding the reason.

Don't know what was she going to do in Lucknow.

The Chinese doctors started the acupressure treatment for Payal. They decided to do it on alternative days. Arnav insisted NK and the doctors team catch it up as he was going to Lucknow with Khushi.

Arnav conveyed the matter to Aman.

"Aman, I'm going to Lucknow tomorrow"

"You go. I will keep in touch with NK"

"Ok... I'm not going to reveal my identity in Lucknow. I may need your help there"

"Anytime... I will call Lucknow police and will ask them to help you whatever you ask them"

"Thank you. I will take my men with me yet, I need cops' help too"

"You don't worry. They will help you"

"That's enough. Will call you after reaching Lucknow"

"Ok... " they disconnected the call.

Arnav got ready to go to Lucknow the next day.
