Part 11 Arnav is ASR

NK's shock was not estimated. He was starting the newspaper piece which was in his hand. The man who was getting treatment in the name of Arnav from Shashiji is none other than the distinguished business baron Arnav Singh Raizada... Why doesn't he disclose his identity? Why didn't he tell Khushi about it when he knew she was an admirer of him...? Why? What was his intention? He is a big shot in society... Moneybags... Then why does he do this? He read the news completely. There he got one more thing. That, his manager name is Aman Mathur. So, the man who came to meet him is his manager Aman Mathur. Are they planning something? NK was confused. Buying a newspaper for Arnav, he started back to the village.

In the meantime,

As Arnav hoped, Khushi came to Arnav's room with his lunch. She kept the plate in front of him and took a step to leave the place, said nothing. But Arnav didn't let her do it. He held her wrist. Khushi twisted her hand in the attempt of getting her hand free from his clutch, without looking at him. No need to say she couldn't.

"If you try to get your hand from my grip... you should keep on trying it but you can't succeed..." Arnav said calmly.

"Why are you misbehaving? What do you think of yourself?" Asked Khushi, not turning towards him.

She didn't get an answer from Arnav. So, she looked at him who was staring at her with a deep gaze.

"Arnavji, leave my hand... Or else..."

" Or else...? Or else what? " though his voice was not harsh she sensed so.

"I will call my Babuji..."

"Then do it... It will make my job easier" he said, raising his brows.

"What...?" She frowned.

"I will directly ask for your hand from him... "

"This all seems fun for you...? A Richman like you can't understand what it means to us... What do you think of my Babuji? Neither you can make him trust your words nor make me fall for you..."

" Will you marry me if I make him trust my words...?" His question was straight to her face.

Khushi got stuck. She stood silently.

"Answer me... Khushi... Will you...?" he pressed her hand.

Before she said anything, they heard footsteps sound. Still, Arnav didn't leave her hand.

"Leave my hand... I think Babuji is coming..."

"So what...? Let me ask him right away"

"Arnavji... Please leave my hand... Please..." She pleaded.

Arnav dropped her hand. Exactly, at the same time, Shashi entered in.

"How are you Arnav?" he asked.

"Better, Sir..."

"I hope you are satisfied with the treatment you are getting here"

"Of course, sir... I am amazed..."

" This is time for you to start walking..." Shashi said.

Arnav looked at him striking because his leg was still in pain.

"You have no choice Arnav... you have to walk. If you don't walk now, you can never walk... The bone will not get a fix"

Arnav nodded yes.

"Start walking slowly... Khushi and Nanne will help you..."

Arnav nodded, smilingly.

"Take care..." Shashi turned to leave,

"Sir, I would like to tell you something..." Arnav stopped him.

Shashi looked at him, nodding his head like TELL ME. Khushi became horrific. Was he going to ask her hand from Shashi?

"Khushi wants me to ask you..."

Cutting him,

"Babuji, he needs his purse back. I asked him to get your permission..." Khushi said hurriedly.

"Arrey, I told you that day itself to give it to him..." Shashi frowned.

Khushi nodded ok, smiling awkwardly.

"One more thing, Sir," Arnav said, fixing his gaze on Khushi.

"Haan, tell me"

"Khushi said, I..."

Again she cut him,

"I told you that you can have coffee... Why don't you give heed to my words?" She asked.

"Arnav, Khushi knows everything... You can follow her instructions... "

" That's what I'm doing sir. She is the one who told me to ask you..." he said in the double meaning.

"She would have told you that at the beginning of the treatment... Now, you are improving fast... So, you don't worry..."

Arnav nodded ok and Shashi left. Khushi sighed in relief whereas Arnav smirked.

" Oh, God... He left..." He tried to call him again.

Khushi closed his mouth with her palm.

" Shhhh... I warn you..."

Arnav looked at her not making an effort to remove her palm from his mouth. Khushi took her palm.

"Why...? you said I can't get his trust... Then why did you stop me?"

"You don't know..."

Interrupting her,

"I know what I'm doing... And I'm damn serious about it..."

She came to him sat on the bed, facing him.

"Look Arnavji... I'm not rich like you... I'm not educated like you... and I'm not..."

" I'm not recruiting for my company... I'm not looking for a person who is equal to my status... I want a life partner who I like the most... Whom my heart beats for..."

"Why...?" She asked looking somewhere.

"I don't know... I don't want to know... I just feel it. And, I want to feel it for my lifetime..."

Khushi was anxious. She doesn't know what she should do to stop him.

"I will ask my family to proceed... Will you say yes when they come here to ask your hand for me?" he asked her seriously.

She looked at him bewildered. Doesn't he hurry?

"I... I need time..."

"Take your own time..." He smiled.

She stood from the bed.

"Do you want me to eat on my own?" He asked, looking at the plate which she kept on the table.

She sat on the bed again and started feeding. Arnav had it delighted.

"Your Babuji asked me to walk... Could you help me to do that?" He asked with a mild smile.

"I will help you in the evening..." She said.

Arnav nodded yes.

They saw NK coming. His face looked rigid.

"Nanne... Have you bought him the newspaper?" Khushi tried to be normal.

Without answering her question,

"What will you do, Khushi if you got to know your favorite businessman Arnav Singh Raizada is in Nainital?" He questioned her.

Of course, his eyes were on Arnav's face. He saw a shocking expression arose for a second on his face. NK was amazed to see Arnav composing himself, taking a fraction of a second.

"Is he in Nainital?" Khushi inquired him with curiosity.

"It seems he is missing..."

"Whaaaat! What did you say?" Khushi was panicked.

"I read the news in a newspaper bit"

"Where's the paper?" she asked.

NK removed it from his pant pocket and extended it to Khushi, reading Arnav's expression. Khushi snatched it from his hand and she was indeed shocked.

To be continued...

This is my situation

Khushi was shocked, seeing the news. Arnav was more shocked than her. She got to know he is ASR. He was reading her face, getting ready to face the cyclone which is going to hit him badly. NK was observing Arnav's facial expression.
