Part 45 Stressful Khushi

Khushi followed Arnav, but could not understand the meaning of SEND HIM. She didn't know whether he asked his men to send Vihan out of this place or to the RC. Or... was that mean, sending out of this world? She was horrified.

"Arnav" She called hesitating.

"Tell me, Khushi" Arnav said not looking at her. He continued walking.

"Where are you going to send Vihan?"

"I'm sending him to the place where he can't trouble anyone"

"You mean, RC?"

"What do you think?"

"Is it necessary to punish him cruelly?"

"Is it necessary to kill the girl who doesn't love him?"

"He is a psycho..."

"A psycho should not be left free because he will harm people anytime. Adding to it, he got to know who I'm and with whom you are. Could you say he won't do any foolhardiness?"

Khushi was silent.

"Khushi, don't take stress for useless things. I will take care of it"

They saw NK's car entering the premises. He got down from the car and headed to Arnav.

"How are you feeling now, Khushi?" NK asked.

"It's still aching, Nanne," she said.

"You should take a rest instead of bothering about anything, Khushi"

She nodded ok.

"what about Hrithik?" Arnav asked.

"He is not at home, Nannav. We checked in the VT station also. He was not there too. He switched his mobile off. I left our two men in his area to track him."

"Mmm"

"Do the doctors come?" NK asked.

"No... when will they come?"

"Usually, they come at 10 o'clock."

Arnav looked at Khushi.

"Go to your room and take a rest. I will call you when the doctors come"

She nodded ok and left the place.

"Ask our technicians to track Hrithik's phone's IMEI number," Arnav said.

"What's the matter Nannav?"

"Love..."

"Love?"

"The psychos call it Love... both Vihan and Hrithik are in love with Khushi. Vihan openly proposed Khushi but Hrithik loves her secretly. Khushi is thinking him as her best friend. Maybe, that was what stopped him from letting her know his feelings for her"

"ohh..."

"He wanted to remove Vihan from his path. That's why he intentionally ignited the fire in his heart by telling him that he and Khushi are going to marry"

"So?"

"Hrithik would have known about Vihan's hustle-bustle character that he will try to harm Khushi after knowing about her love for him. He knew if Vihan tried to do something like that, we won't leave him. That was why he didn't say anything about us to Vihan"

"How cunning Hrithik is..."

"Yes... If my guess is right, he will do something against us too"

"Whaaat? Do you think, he is that courageous?"

"No... he won't do anything openly but cleverly..."

"Like?"

"Ask our technicians to watch social media"

NK became horrified.

"If any story posted related to us on any site should be removed immediately."

"I think you should talk to Aman about it, Nannav"

"Will do it. Before that, we should make our side strong"

"Ok"

"Did you call Akash? How is he?"

"He is unimaginably recovering, Nannav"

"Is it?"

"Yes, last time, he called me without an oxygen mask"

"That's really amazing"

"Yes, Nannav. The doctor hopefully said he won't need medical support in a few days"

"That's great news"

"Yes... Payal Bhabi also moved her pupil inside her closed eyes. This is so warming gesture"

Arnav nodded yes delightfully.

They saw the doctors coming. NK rushed to them and greeted them. Arnav shook hands with them.

"Hello doctor"

"Hello"

"How is Payal?"

"She is fine... very soon, she will talk to you"

"Thank you, doctor"

They went to Payal's room.

"NK, bring Khushi to Payal's room"

"Ok, Nannav" NK went to Khushi's room.

"Khushi"

"Haan?"

"The doctors are here. They are going to Payal Bhabi's room. Nannav asked me to bring you there"

"Yeah, coming"

She joined him. They came to Payal's room. Khushi saw the doctors treating Payal. Aranv repeated what the doctors said about Payal. Khushi became overjoyed and also emotional.

"Thank you so much"

Arnav smiled at her.

Khushi was with Payal until the treatment got over. The doctors left but she stayed there. She caressed Payal's hair lovingly.

"Jeeji... doctors said, you will be all right soon. Akash Jeejaji is also getting treated in London. He will also come to India soon. Your wedding will happen as you wish. We are going to see your wedding, Jeeji.." Khushi talked to Payal.

"I went to our home, Jeeji. Arnav took me to Lucknow and helped me to find the culprit behind your attack. I thought Arnav's enemies must be the ones who attacked you but it's not true. Arnav's enemy didn't do it. Do you know who was behind that? Rishi Gupta's wife and his brother-in-law. I was shocked Jeeji. I had given my share to them. I don't want property but you, Jeeji. Please come back..." She sobbed.

She turned behind, feeling a touch on her shoulder. She saw Arnav standing with a painful expression. She stood up and hugged him tight. Arnav reciprocated the hug.

"Khushi, relax..."

"I miss her a lot, Arnav"

"She will be all right. We will witness her living with Akash happily"

Khushi broke the hug and cupped his face.

"Thank you so much, Arnav... thank you for everything," she said emotionally.

"Relax, Khushi... what happened to you?"

"I don't know what would have happened if you had not been there for Jeeji... for me... for us"

"Shhh... don't think of anything..."

"How won't I be? Things happening around me makes me mad... don't know what to think... what to do... A guy is even ready to kill me just because I don't love him... on the other side, the man who I trusted like anything is playing behind my back..." she said restlessly.

"shhh.... Relax..."

"No Arnav..."

Arnav kept his finger on her lips.

"Listen to me... don't stress yourself. Do you trust me?"

"Whom could I trust other than you?"

"If you trust me truly... be calm... make yourself cool. Leave everything to me. I will take care of them. Understand?"

She again hugged him. Arnav kissed her hair.

"Will you marry me?" She asked.

Arnav was shocked. He rolled his eyes and smiled at her.

"I said cool down... give peace to your restless mind, Khushi"

"No... marry me"

"what about Payal and Akash?"

"We will get them married when they recover completely"

Arnav rolled his eyes smiling.

"Marry me," she said clutching his collar.

"Ok ok... we will talk about it tomorrow"

"I'm not asking this in haste. Don't think I can be consoled tomorrow. I won't..."

"We will see that tomorrow. Now, go to your room and take a rest"

"No... I'm going to be with Jeeji"

"Nothing doing... you will make your sister emotional if she has a little sense. Let's go..."

Holding her hand, he pulled her towards her room. He made her lie on the bed and sat in front of her.

"If you won't be calm, you won't get healed soon. Your wound will give you more pain. If you really trust me, calm down your mind"

Khushi said nothing but was looking at him.

"Go to sleep for a while"

She nodded no.

"You will run away from me if I sleep"

"I won't..."

"Promise?"

"Promise" he gestured for her to sleep.

Khushi closed her eyes. Though she didn't sleep easily she kept her eyes closed. After a while, she slept.

Arnav made a call to Aman regarding Vihan and Hrithik.

"do you think, Hrithik will post on social media about you?"

"Yes... I don't believe him"

"Ok. I will take care of it through our cybercrime crew"

"Thank you Aman. Let me know if any issues"

"Sure..."

"How is Khushi?"

"She is stressed like hell. Many unexpected things happened in her life that shook her to the core"

"Be with her"

"Yeah... I'm in her room only"

"When are you going to marry her?"

"Soon... I thought to marry her on the same day as Akash and Payal"

"Don't take me wrong, ASR. Expecting their recovery is fine but don't plan your future depending on them"

Arnav knew which means Aman said that. Payal was in a coma. No one knew when would she get out of it.

"Think about it, ASR"

"Yeah"

They disconnected the call. Arnav didn't leave Khushi's room as he promised.
