Chapter 61: Captured

Arnav Singh Raizada who never believe in god, who hate this feeling called l-o-v-e after receiving heart-break from past was now restlessly waiting in airport for final announcement impatiently. The news which he got shaken him. That his Di fell from stairs. After this moment, he knew nothing, except her. All he want to reach her as early as possible without having any clue what is waiting for him in future.

He is ready to break every barrier for his only family, for his Di. In some hours, it landed him back to the place where he never wanted to come. Where it all started.

As he is already fighting between heart and mind, it added more to it when a familiar voice hit him. He was walking toward departure but that very voice distracted him again and urged him to look back. He went hysterical as this voice is enough to reach every nerve of his veins like a intoxicated poison. He stop to his place and turn around. There he saw his wife, his Khushi. His eyes reflect pain. 

She is giving interview to media who were asking her back to back question about marriage.

MARRIAGE? This one word stuck him hard. It took him hell few moment to digest those words. His grip tightened in a tight punch and his face hardened to think. His wife going to marry to another man? He is in complete denial.

''What you want to say about this alliance, Mrs raizada?'' One of the reporter asked blocking her path. When no one ready to listen, she stop to give their answer.

''We have heard you were not ready for this alliance at first place. Then how you agree Mrs Raizada.'' Another reporter inquired.

''My name is Khushi gupta so don't tag me with this surname''. She corrected them with a stern voice and it trigger him to the most sensitive spot. ''And yes you heard it right, I wasn't ready at first place. For my son, I gave my nod..'' She said with a proud tone which erupt lava through his eyes. His anger reached the height and he began breathing harshly.

''SO YOU WANTED TO MARRY ANOTHER MAN! NOT SO EASILY MRS KHUSHI KUMARI GUPTA SINGH RAIZADA..YOU ARE MY PROPERTY AND I'M COMING BACK TO TAKE BACK ALL THE THINGS YOU SNATCHED. BE READY MRS RAIZADA..''

~~~

After the bitter realization, Arnav rushed toward Shantivan. The fear in his heart intensify as he saw complete darkness on reaching the main hall.

DI!!!!!! He shouted on top of his voice. 

There was complete silence. There is no one at home, not even servants. It made him more panicked and restless. Just then he was going to take a step forward, light come back and his Di appeared accompanied by Akash and Jijaji. He get shock beyond words seeing Shyam.

Arnav: ''Jijaji aap..?'' Anjali smiled. She had expected this reaction from him ''What's going on here. Does anyone tell me?'' He then look at the decoration with astonishment as the entire mansion which is occupied with fairy light and flowers like a grand function taking pace.

He is asking her million question while everyone smiling at him. Anjali felt her heart burst in overjoy seeing her brother ages ago. She thanks her husband who made this impossible task possible and ran to hug her chotte who still in puzzle state. He then get shock noticing her holding belly.

Anjali: ''Haan Chotte. You guess it right. I'm pregnant''. She blush stealing glances to her husband. 

Shyam and Akash came forward and greet him happily before leading him inside.

''I missed you so much chotte. Why you left your di..why?'' She punch him showing her frustration. ''Bolo..? You don't care about your di haina..all you care about khu..'' She took a long pause. His grip his fist tightly. Anjali put her hand on his shoulder warmly. ''Not once you had thought about me".

''Di you know I..'' said Arnav avoiding eye contact with her.

''Put a break to your fights with Khushiji. I know you both love each other crazily. Remember last time when you guys had a fight, you went to London. Khushiji too went behind you. It's your time to take initiative. Hearing her name, he got up from his place.

''It will never happen again'' He said with gretted teeth and turn to face her getting agitated. ''How could you lie to me Di. Why you call me when you are absolutely fine. Do you know what i went through''.

She hold her both ears. ''Sorry Chotte..You left me with no option. It was your jijaji plan''.

''No..No.. salesaheb don't give me this killer look. Your Di is not less. She emotionally blackmail me by telling she will not celebrate her godh-bharai function without you''. Said shyam.

''Haww you liar.'' She took the pillow and throw toward him. He grab it and both started fighting like kids. Arnav smile delightfully seeing his Di and jijaji cute fight. It made him remember someone he don't want to.

Anjali clear her throat bringing him back to trace. ''You go and change..till then i will make your breakfast''. He nodded weakly and left.

After getting freshen up, He came down and they sat to breakfast table. He ask about shyam. Couple exchanged worried glances before started narrating incident how Dadi planned his accident on one fateful night when Shyam got all the proof against her. He was going to exposed her in front of them, but dadi was one step ahead, she got the news and plant his accident in a way all thought Shyam died.

Dadi kept him alive to get secret codes of AR company which only Arnav and shyam knows. However, she put a burnt body in place of Shyam and kept him abondoned several months in a godown. On getting in police custody, Dadi spat it all out everything to police. Later they find shyam in godown. At first it was very tough for Anjali to face her husband. She was unable to look into his eyes after what she had shared with Rishi.  But as the time passed, their love for each other deepen and erase all the distance and differences between them. 

On knowing everything, Arnav lost his cool. He can't believe his dadi is that cunning and vile. He cannot forget what, how she had ill treated with Khushi. The thought still made him mad and guilty rememering how she insulted her on their marriage night and thrown her out. That time he cannot do anything. But this time no-one going to spare her. He grab his cell phone and call inspector making sure she would receive worst punishment for her deeds. Anjali try to stop him but he gave no heed.

Once he disappeared, Akash came to their room.

''Why you both didn't told Bhai what function going to takes place tomorrow. As far as I know godhbharai have still time then you..'' asked Akash worridely.

"Not now Akash. This is not the right time" .

''But Di''

''We can't tell him truth otherwise situation went out of control and he would again take a rash decision and get back to New york. You know na what had happened last time when that murder-- (Anjali went dreadful thinking about that dreadful night.)

''Don't stress yourself Ranisaheba. This time we will do anything to reunite them. Because they are inseparable. And I'm sure no matter what he will not leave you at this stage''. Said Shyam, reassuring her giving her support.

''Do you really think both will forgive each other. Their is so much hate and bitterness develop in their relationship that none was ready to face each other. Upon that Bhai had taken promise he would never try to meet or contact them''. Remind Akash.

''I have a feeling this marriage will break all the differences between them''. Exclaimed Shyam.

''Hum bas chahte hain chotte aur khushiji dubara ek ho jaye..jaise hame hamara khoya hua pyaar mil gaya waise..'' Said Anjali. (I just had one wish to see them together..like the way I got my love back)

''Vo ek jarur honge''. (They will become one) said Shyam and she hugged him. Akash move out smiling giving the couple privacy.

~~~

''What the hell are you saying?'' He bang his hand on the table angrily.

'' Yes sir. This news is true. Mrs raizada going to get engaged tomorrow with..'' His manager give him information on phone as being instructed by Shyam. 

Arnav throw his mobile angrily as those words were hard to bare. ''How dare you Khushi Kumari Gupta..You have no right to betray me''.

Anjali mentally smiling seeing his reaction as the trigger hit the correct target. She gave thumb up to Akash and they headed to start their next plan into action. While she was still standing on his room holding tray, suppressing her smile. Grabbing the opportunity she went inside to put salt to his wounds. But the condition of the room astonished her..

''What are you dong chotte?'' She place tray sideway and move and gently sqeeze him. He turn furiously and lashed out.

''How dare she do this to me..Do you know That khushi Kumari Gupta is marrying?''

''Haan toh?'' (So what?)

''So that means you know it all''. Arnav ask surprisingly. ''How can you take it so casually. Why you never told me? Who is that bloody bastard with whom she..''

''Tumhe kya farak padta hain, chotte? I'm glad she had forgotten you and moved on.''

''What do you mean by that. She is my wi-. (He fumed and took a sharp breathe.) 

Anjali smiled inwardly seeing him burning in jeolousy. She made a serious face when he look back at her. ''Di you are forgetting she is mother of my child. Her stupid decision will affect my son and I won't allow her to play with Ayaan's emotions''.

''Chotte where are you going. Have your dinner first.

''Do hell with your damn dinner. She cannot ditch me.'' He left kicking the door behind.

 She grinned happily and then rang her husband giving him information he is going to Khushi's house.

''Jao chotte..Jao aur khushiji ko vapas le ao'' (Go Chotte..go and bring her back to the place where she actually belongs.)

~~~

The car halted in front of a apartment. He come out rapidly and started taking meaningful steps toward her apartment. At karan's apartment where she used to live before their marriage. His heart went heavy recalling that night which change their life completely. Several emotions passing through his face. On reaching the main door, he stood motionless. A heartfelt memories rushed through his head.

I HATE YOU ARNAV SINGH RAIZADA..I HATE YOU..

FROM TODAY YOU ARE NOT MY HUSBAND..I BROKE ALL MY RELATIONS WITH YOU. She rip her wedding chain and threw it his on his face.

Come back to present, he lift his hand to knock the door when a sharp voice echoed to him. The door is half open. Arnav peep inside to see what is happening.

'''No! NO ! erwww you know I hate this meelk..It so yukky..'' Little Asr running to the entre house making funny faces.

''Shut up Ayaan and finish your milk right now''.  His heartbeat speed up in a quick pace. His eyes darken as he admire his lady-love against his will. Coming back to trace, he glare her angrily. 

HOW DARE SHE SHOUT AT MY SON. 

She extend milk to her naughty son who is making her run like a marathon from past one hour. She grab her head getting out of breathe.

"This is enough now. Come back to your mummy NOW". She need to admit her son is one naughty and stubborn kid, listen to no one. He is mini laadgovernor. She muttered moving after him. 

He is running, climbing up and down, giving a hell hard time to his poor mommy.

Tears of longing fell from his eyes as he meet his family which meant everything to him. But he controlled his tears.

''Cat..tch me if u can'' Ayaan challenged making her groan. This pakda pakdi goes on for a time longer when Khushi felt a sudden breeze. She went dumb-stuck. Her heart beat risen. She place  her hand to her chest, trying to stable it. Arnav immediately hide himself behind the wall when she turned to him.

''What he..ppe..n mom..'' Little one shake her and she look back at him before following him inside. She lay him to the bed and switch the light without realizing Arnav too enter the bedroom.

''I'm so excited for tomorrow..Thank you mom for..

''Close your eyes..'' She cut him in between.

It made Arnav hell furious to think she had literally brainwashed him so brilliantly he totally forget his real father.

She look at her son and ruffle his hairs who is taking nape gripping her hand with a cute pout. She adore him seeing his habit. On kissing his forehead, she get up before removing her hand slowly. She move out of the room lifting water jug which is empty. On entering the kitchen, she goes to open the fridge but stop in her track on seeing a shadow. Her eyes widen. She get panick and step back before taking U turn but found no one. There is indeed someone. She can sense it. Before she make any movement, she felt herself being drugged in a manly embrace.

~~~

Khushi is in complete shock. She is unable to think anything. The man in front of her eyes made all her senses numb. 

AAP? She is completely paralyzed and spoke after a plain silence.

''HOW ARE YOU DARLING WIFEY.''  Her heart jump as he started taking steps near her. As usual she took back steps. There is something in his eyes which is not normal. Upon that he brought her to his farmhouse. The same place when last time he had abduct her and do all the things without her will. 

''Why you brought me to your farmhouse? Let me go.'' He gave no reply, just keep gazing her with unreadable expression on his face.

"Let me go" She find a way out.

''Remember this place when we had..'' Asked arnav advancing her.

How will she forget it. She came to know about her pregnancy here only. But why he came back? What does he wants? What if he snatch my son? Several terrifying questions running to her mind speedily.

''HOW ARE YOU MRS RAIZADA..'' (Within a instant, she get pinned against the wall.

''Yeh kya batameezi hain..Apki himmat kaise hui hame is tarha..'' (Who gave you right to bring me here forcefully) He just staring her intensely. After breaking eye contact, he whispered huskily.

''Pati hu tumhara jo chahe kar sakhta hu..'' (I'm your husband, can do anything) Shyad tum yeh baat bhul chuki ho..socha tumhe yaad dilado.. (Seems you had forgotten so thought to remind you)

''Wha-t-d--you-me..a-n'' (She turn her face to other side as  he closes the gap. 

''You know what I mean''.

Saying it, he cup her face and pull her face into his passionate close proximity. She close her eyes. They are feeling each other breathe after so long. A shiver run down her spine as his fingers torturing her senses. On recalling his sin, she come back to her senses and push him with all her force.

''DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH ME, MR RAIZADA. DID YOU UNDERSTAND.'' She said with a warning tone.

''Kyu? Yeh haq tumne kisi aur ko de diya..'' (Why? Did you gave that right to someone else)

''Kya bakwaas kar rahe ho tum..'' (What non-sense you are talking)

''Who the hell is he? If you have guts then tell me the name of that bastard who dare to eye on my property. Her silence fumes him and he grab her shoulder.

''Being my wife, How dare you to agree for second marriage''.

Her eyes popped out in shock.

''What are you saying? Have you gone mad''. She struggle into his strong steel like grip. ''Let me go''.

''So much desperation to go into his arms. Seems one man is not enough for you that you wanted another one''.

''Shut Up Arnav''.

''How could you betray me.'' She look at him in disbelief.

''When you were ready to marry Lavanya leaving your pregnant girlfriend I never said anything. Then why you have a problem with my decision.'' Said Khushi.

''Don't bring that vile women in between. I mend all my mistakes in past and you had accepted me wholeheartedly. He remarked.

''That was my biggest mistake to forgive you. I shouldn't marry a CRIMINAL''. He remove his grip from her and bang his hand above her, to the glass. His hand started to bleed and blood fell over her partition without their acknowledgement.

Arnav had his back facing her while blood is dripping from his hand.

''You are bleeding.'' Khushi almost shouted.

''Tumhe kya farak padta hain..You go and enjoy your life with your new love''. He throw the key and it landed near her feet giving her opportunity to get away. But she stay still.

There are many things she wanted to clear but gain no strength to express it into words. Their eyes speaking lot of emotions but their ego clash out, preventing each other to listen their heart.

 She feel pain to see his blood. Unable to control her emotions, she move forward to touch him but something stopping her to reciprocate.  The relief she always get after seeing him and the pain associated with the inner turmoil is gone but she is burning internally in between love and hate.

 After fighting with the inner battle, she give up the fight and ran toward the love of her life.
