Part 43 Mission...?

"I have to go..." Arnav said looking at Khushi's face who was hugging him.

She nodded no and hugged him more tightly.

"I came to Nainital leaving everything behind, Khushi..."

She looked at him, raising her head. He kissed her forehead.

"I have to come to Nainital again in three days... don't know when I will get back to work again..."

Khushi raised her brows.

"Why are you telling like that?"

"How do I know when will I get enough of my wife?" he said teasingly.

"Will you get enough of me?" she arrowed the question and Arnav got stuck.

"Never... I will never get enough of you no matter how many years we spend together... at the same time, I can't resign from my job to be with you... you know why?"

Khushi was about to say something, Arnav stopped her blinking his eyes.

"It's because the girl I'm going to marry may leave me if I do that because I inspired her a lot with my hard-working nature"

Khushi chuckled.

"So, don't ask me silly questions... I have a lifetime to spend with you and get what I want..."

She smiled on his chest.

"Let me go, Khushi. Or else, I may start getting what I want now itself"

Khushi dropped her jaw and looked at him shockingly. Arnav laughed at her and tapped her nose.

"Why? Won't you give me if is ask you something?" he winked.

Khushi nodded no.

"Why? Don't you trust me?" he asked.

"Don't YOU (she stressed) trust me? What's the necessary to hurry? Am I going to run away somewhere or what?" she asked.

Arnav pressed his lips together, lifting his brows not answering.

"Yeah... what's the necessary to hurry when you are going to come to me in a few days?"

"That's it..."

"Ok, now kiss me and send me off"

Khushi pecked his cheek and smiled.

"As of now, this is enough... bye"

"By the way Arnavji... why did you come to Nainital alone?"

"What can I do? My brain stopped working... for the first time..." he chuckled.

"Call Amanji and ask him to send your guards..."

"That's ok, Khushi. This trip is not a planned one. I just came without anyone's knowledge."

"What if someone follows you?" She asked worriedly.

"I will be careful..."

"Do one thing... just keep talking to me until you reach Delhi. Keep telling me what do you see in your way"

"You mean running commentary?"

"Exactly..."

"Khushi... if you want to talk to me, you can tell me that directly"

"Think whatever... just talk to me all the way to Delhi"

"Yes, madam..."

Arnav left the place and got inside the car. He rolled his eyes, seeing Khushi calling him on his mobile. He smiled at her. She gestured for him to attend the call. Arnav turned the Bluetooth on.

"Bye..." he smiled.

"Bye..." Khushi said, waving her hand.

Arnav started the car.

"Arnavji... have you had anything before coming to Nainital?"

"Thank God... at last you remembered to ask me that" he laughed.

"I'm sorry, Arnavji. I really had forgotten seeing you in front of me"

"My God... I'm going to be in front of you all the time after our marriage. That means, am I going to be starving after our marriage?" he laughed again.

"Stop teasing me, Arnavji... today's situation was different"

"Yeah... we fought... I will keep it in my mind that not to fight with you to avoid starving"

"Arnavji you are talking like a middle-class poor husband who only gets food from his wife"

"There is no difference between poor and rich husband if he wants to eat only from his wife's hand"

Khushi smiled.

"You are so heartwarming you know," she said.

"Really?"

"Mmm"

"You will get to know I can make you completely WARM"

"Arnavji... concentrate on the road... ok?"

Arnav chuckled.

"Don't be scared Khushi... I won't lose my control just by TALKING"

"Arnavji... don't make me cut the call"

"Oh, really? Will you cut the call? Do you have the guts?"

"Haan... what will you do? Will you come back again?"

"Do you think I can't?"

Khushi sighed.

"I think you should call Amanji and should keep talking with him"

"Aman...? Like really? Such a boring fellow... he only talks deal, profit, and loss..."

Cutting him,

"See, who is telling this..." Khushi laughed.

"What do you mean? Am I a boring fellow?"

"I didn't say that but every staff of AR..." she teased.

"What do they know about me and my romantic side? It's not a movie to show it to everyone..."

Khushi laughed out louder. Arnav smiled, hearing her laughter.

Though Arnav was driving the car talking to Khushi his concentration was not only on the road but also on the people on his way. He noticed a roadside tea stall and also the reaction of a man whose eyes widened, seeing his car. Arnav saw him starting his bike and followed Arnav's car. Arnav didn't slow down the car but watched the man through the rearview mirror. Arnav maintained the speed of the car stable as he didn't want the man to know he was suspecting him.

"Arnavji, please have something when you find a good restaurant on your way," Khushi said.

"Of course, Khushi... I will definitely eat. Khushi, I will call you later as I need to fill petrol. In the hurry to come to Nainital, I didn't check the petrol"

"Ok, Arnavji... call me, when you are done"

"Ok..." Arnav disconnected the call.

Neither Arnav let the bike man reach him nor did he drive fast. He kept a constant distance from the bike man. Arnav wondered as the bike man was not giving up. Now, Arnav became cautious. Is this a coincidence or is he intentionally following him? If he was following him intentionally, what does he want from him? His intellect warned him that the man had something to do with his accident. If his intellect was right, is he the main culprit or just a hand? Whatever it is, he has to know. What harm if he inquires the man even though he has nothing about the accident? Arnav's mind worked faster. He saw the board indicating DELHI 50 km.

Arnav started driving the car in the zigzag movement. He wanted to make the man who was following him get confused. As it was a one-way bypass road, it was not hard for Arnav to drive the car like that. As didn't expect, Arnav's car banged on a roadside tree and Arnav got injured on his forehead. He fell on the steering wheel, losing his consciousness.

The man who followed him came close to Arnav and checked. He pulled Arnav from the steering wheel and tapped his cheek. As there was no movement in Arnav, he sighed in relief.

"The mission ROYAL SECRET finished..." the man uttered.

He pressed the petrol tank button and opened the petrol tank door. Opening the tank cover, he moved back while removing a cigarette lighter from his pocket. He was ready to put the light inside the tank and was also ready to run. But, as he didn't expect, Arnav steamed on him like a bullet and pushed him to the ground, making the man shocked to the core. Before he tried to get up, Arnav attacked him with full force. After a few minutes of the harsh fight, the man was defeated by Arnav. Arnav pulled his shirt off and tied his hands from behind. He removed the gun from the dashboard and pointed it on the man's forehead.

"Tell me... why did you try to burn me alive? Who the hell are you? Tell me to damn it... "Arnav hit him with a gun.

"I will tell you... will tell you..." he panted hard.

"Tell me, for whom you did that?"

The name uttered by the man shook Arnav to the core.

"Sheetal..."
