Part 12 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.

"He met with an accident when he came to Nainital... Hey Devi Maiya... Why are you doing this...?" Khushi chocked. Her eyes were teary.

Arnav frowned not understanding anything. Why she reacts this way? Why doesn't she look at him?

Khushi noticed that the photo of ASR had been TORN.

"I think his photo was there... Didn't you see it?"

"It seems so. It was not there when I get the paper..." He said looking at Arnav.

"Did he die?" She asked worrying.

"No... he was not there in the car... I think he escaped from the car before it fell into the valley"

"Where could he be?" Khushi thought.

"Maybe, in Nainital... Very close to us..."

"He should be alright... It's enough for me" Khushi said.

"He is..." Said NK.

"Whaaat....!"

"I mean... He will be alright... Don't worry"

"I will go to the temple in the evening to pray for him..."

NK nodded ok.

"What will happen to AR now?" Khushi asked sadly.

"His manager, Nishan will take care of it..."

Nishan? Arnav knew Aman's name would also be published if his accident news had been published. Then why NK said his manager is Nishan? Arnav was confused.

That's when Garima called Khushi.

"Wait... I will just come" Khushi rushed out.

NK turned towards Arnav who was looking at him daringly. NK removed the bit paper that he tore from the paper piece and extended it to Arnav. Taking it from NK's hand Arnav looked. He gulped, seeing his photo. Aman's name had been printed right below the pic. NK tore it too.

"So... you are Arnav Singh Raizada... the man who visited you is not just your friend but also your manager. Why did you lie?"

Arnav looked at him, taking his eyes from the photo.

"I didn't lie..."

"You didn't tell us the truth either... You know very well how Khushi respects you... you were listening to her words when she talked about you and your company... Why were you silent that time? Why didn't you feel to tell her who you are? What's the necessity to hide your identity?"

"Did you see my car in the valley?"

NK nodded no.

"Do you know how the accident happened?"

NK was looking at him not answering.

"It was not an accident but a plot... I was targeted... my enemies spread the break oil at the turning of the road. That's why this accident happened. I don't know who did that. I want to know who needs my death. If they got to know I'm alive, they will try to kill me again. It will be easier for them to kill the man who could not even take a step ahead. They can finish me in the blink of an eye... The mobile phone you found is mine. I gave it to Aman because I don't want to get trapped. The killer may find me tracking my phone... Until I get to know who is behind this, I can't reveal my identity. Do you think I can't go from here? It takes a few hours for me to move from here. Still, I'm taking treatment in this village... Because this is my circumstance..."

NK was standing hearing him silently. He thought Arnav should have a reason for his actions. Because he is ASR.

"But, how could you find the culprit if you are here?" NK asked.

" To do that, I don't have to be in Delhi. The story will be different if I'm in Delhi. (he said gritting his teeth) I have already started the process... I have been appointed a detective agent to do the work. He will find it out"

"Are deceives exist in real life?" NK asked innocently.

Arnav nodded yes with a smile.

"Will you show me one when I come to Delhi?"

"Sure..."

"If you don't mind, shall I ask you something...?"

"What?"

"You are in danger... Being a multimillionaire, anyone can be done that... I had seen such scenes in movies... what if your manager Aman would have done that? He knows where you are... Won't it cause trouble if he is the culprit?"

Arnav amazed. He thought NK was innocent. But he had a sharp brain.

"Aman was the one who found I'm in danger... He restricted me to come to Nainital but I didn't listen to him. Even if he is the culprit, Rohan will find it..." Arnav smiled.

"It's very hard to be ASR... Right?" NK said.

"It's not hard but challenging... In fact, being rich is hard... A simple life is always good..." He smiled at NK.

"Are you truly ASR? I can't believe it..."

Arnav chuckled.

"It will be good if you don't believe it"

"Khushi is going to be speechless if she gets to know whom she is treating "

"No, don't... Don't tell her until we go to Delhi"

"She won't tell anyone about you if she knows your life is in danger"

"I knew but it will leak, however"

NK sighed...

"You won't tell her, right?" Arnav asked.

"Poor she... She is scolding you sometimes unaware of the truth... She will feel bad for it..."

"That's ok... I don't have a problem with it. And I want to tell you something too... As you got to know me, I think I should not hide it from you..."

"Another one? How many truths do you have?"

"This is the last one" Arnav chuckled.

"Oh... What's that?"

"I like Khushi. I would like to marry her"

"Whaaaat!" NK was shocked to the root.

"Yes... I don't know whether she accepts me or not if she gets to know who I'm... Until she accepts my proposal, I don't want her to know the truth..."

"But, what if she gets upset with you?"

"I will take care of it..."

"When will you propose?"

"I already did..."

"Whaaaaat! When?" he was more shocked.

"Two days ago..."

"Did she accept?"

Arnav nodded no.

"Oh no..."

They saw Khushi coming. Arnav gestured NK to be quiet. Khushi was still sad.

"Nanne, could you go the valley and do inquire about him?"

NK looked at Arnav.

"Khushi, even police could not get anything about him... How could I?"

"The police know nothing about these villages but we do... Ask the villagers near the valley... Don't know where does he fall..." She said anxiously.

"Ok, I will go to the police station and ask the head constable..."

Khushi nodded ok.

"Khushi, shall I bring him here, if I find his whereabouts?" NK asked seriously.

Arnav suppressed his smile.

"Here? What do you think of him? He is Arnav Singh Raizada... He won't be here... We will send him to the Nainital private hospital..."

*Yeah... she is right... he can't be here* NK said looking at Arnav who was smiling contently.

"By the way, what will you do if ASR comes in front of you?"

Khushi's eyes turned to Arnav automatically who was looking at her curiously.

*Let him come...* she left the place, leaving smiling Arnav and laughing NK behind.

Doubt

Arnav looked at laughing NK.

*Will you be here in the evening? * Arnav asked.

*Don't you want me to be here? * NK asked.

Arnav nodded yes.

*Ok... I won't*

*Thanks...*

*Do you want anything, Bhai? *
