Chapter 23: Consequence of betrayal

''What relation you shared with patient..'' Doctor asked while filling the form.

''I'm his Ex bed-mate..'' Her harsh words from behind was enough to kill him. Pain oozes from the holes of his soul and he looked back at her with hurt and anger. There is no recognition on her face. He was trying to absorb her words until he couldn't take it anymore.

Doctor looked on bewildered expression.

''Don't get shocked, Doctor. This is truth of my life. I'm his mistress and this child is the consequence of his lust and revenge..''' She smirked in pain and was going to blunt out with more information when he harshly pull her hand and take her out from his cabin.

''What the hell you trying to prove? Don't humiliate our love like that..'' He took an exasperated sigh.

''Love..?'' She laughed. ''What are you talking about? Don't insult this pure word by calling it out from your mouth.. I'm your mistress. This is a fact..I accept that and this baby is the proof of your betrayal..'' She directed toward her swollen stomach.

''Wasn't you enjoyed in having sex with me?' Her words was like acid to him. She took her hand from his hold and looked at him with folded her arms, waiting for his reply. She wanted to give him back more cruelly for the pain and grief he threw on her face. He never bother about her dignity, innocence and pride all he wanted was lust. Then why this pretense?

''Don't create a scene here..'' He said and looking at patients and nurses passing by there and glancing them.

''Tamasha toh apne bana diya hamari zindagi ka aur vaise bhi sahi toh kaha hamne apki rakhel hi toh hain hum..'' (It was you who made a scene by playing my with my life and I don't think I said anything wrong..I am your mistress, wasn't I?) His fist clenched in a tight punch.

''You should be thankful I made your bed on fire by-..''

''Shut up..Just shut your bloody mouth! I will not tolerate this..Samjhi tum!!!!!''There was so much aggression and pain in his voice and action. But she was perfectly calm.

''Do you have a slight idea how much it pained me seeing you so much bitter..I can't take this anymore khushi..I want to amend my mistakes..I am really sorry for all the bad doing..I treated you really bad please give me one chance..'' She scrunched her eyebrow.

''Oh my god! Someone pinch me! Arnav Singh Raizada saying sorry to a cheap and down market girl..Did I'm hallucination or what! She raised her eyebrow by his sick joke.

''This is not funny, khushi..I'm damn serious...I know I hurt you but give me a chance to prove myself worthy for you..''

''Aww don't be Mr Raizada. It doesn't suit you to say all this to your ex bed-mate. Your revenge is over then why you wasting your precious time for a cheap girl. You should be happy you succeeded in ruining my dignity..You took my honor..my pride..my trust and sowed the seeds of your lust inside me. Because of your mind blowing game..I'm not liable to be someone's wife and get disowned in the society, tagging as a characterless women..'' She stress but her voice was cold and insolent. She appreciate his power packed skills and games.

''Stop it!!!'' He dipped his head and clenched his fist poking his nails on his skin. It was unbearable to hear then what would be her state. She was suffered this pain and still bearing all the accusation every single day.

''One second! As far as I knew Arnav Singh Raizada don't do anything without profit so why you still behind me?'' She paused pretending to think with her fingers on her chin.

''Are you planning to snatch my baby? Well in that case, you are wasting your time. I will kill myself but will not let your shadow to ruin my unborn like you did with his mother. Go and f**k other girls as you said you can have any girl! God knows how many women you used after we..'' He placed his hand on her mouth to stop her. Their eyes locked. A strong wind was blowing, making her hairs swirl over her face.

She shrugged his hand off and took few steps backward.

Her cruel words ripped his heart into million pieces. His heart screamed to tell her he love her..he loved her damn much and he is not pretending this time but she not going to believe him, he know that. He hurt her so badly that his every word meant nothing to her. His throat was so constricted that no words come out from his mouth. He wanted to hold her and comfort her. His sins was so grave that he lost all the right from her.

Vaguely he heard her again.

''Thanks for bringing me here on time. I m very grateful for you..Kindly excuse me..'' She said with a little smile and turned to walk away from his sight.

''Wait! I will drop you..''

''No thanks..I will manage..'' She said coldly and began marching out without giving any heed to him. He followed her behind and grabbed her once they reach out of hospital.

''I will not let you risk your health. You are not well..'' There was concern reflection through his expression. He cupped her cheeks.

She slanted her head to glance at his hand. Disgusted, she pulled his hand away.

''I m not worthy that a rich man like you touch a useless and tainted girl..'' She exclaimed and went toward the taxi to flew away. He kept his eyes on her as long as he could see her. His eyes clouded with tears.

''I know I lost the right to touch you but I will do anything to make you happy again..I will fill your life with happiness..I will heal all the wounds from your heart. Let see if your hatred wins or our love that we feel for each other. Arnav, you need to do some good for her to alleviate the pain you caused her..''

On the way back toward her destination, taxi get drained off. Holding her belly, khushi walked in a lonely street exhausted with her eyes moving here and there to found any vehicle. She hold her head not feeling well.

''Baby, don't worry Mumma will soon take you home..'' She said securely. After a while longer, she found a bus stop and sighed in satisfaction.

''When bus will come?'' She asked to some ladies on reaching the bus stop. They were staring her from head to toe and passing disgusting look seeing her posture.

There was a women standing with her small baby in her lap, giggling at her. Her eyes soften.

''What is your name?'' She asked in a baby voice and raised her hand to touch a cute baby girl making the opposite person pulled her baby from touching her.

''Don't touch my daughter with your filthy hands..'' Her mother worn shooting an angry glare at her. She look around and found everyone giving her dirty look. Their comment was too harsh to bear.

''Is she same unwed pregnant lady who sleep with some guy without marriage..'' A women asked her friend looking at her swollen belly.

''Oh yah I heard lot of things about this characterless women. Someone told me she slept with an rich man for some money and then left him after getting satisfaction..'' She hurled verbal abuses at her. Khushi was too numb to the surrounding. There was too much pressure on her nerves that past rolled back into her eyes again.

''These girls have no shame..look how she is roaming openly bearing an illegitimate child like she is the most decent and pure women in the world. Such type of girls are the biggest spot in our society and should be thrown out..'' Khushi gulped her breathe and held her stomach. This is not the first time she was getting such treatment from outsiders. But now she get used of such behavior.

''I have a doubt if she knew who child it was..''

''But she look so innocent! Who will say what resides in the mask of ugly nature of this filthiness..'' Another one stated.

''Did she really sold her body willingly? But I have heard some guy left her after using her..'' They passing comments and she glued absorbing their words.

''Who will keep relation with a characterless girl and these women inflict our childs..''

''Hey, how many men did you warm..?'' Their words paralyzed her entire body. She remain firm like a statue. Life have taught her so much that she forget the real meaning of pain. No emotions, no humiliation affected her anymore. She wanted to cry but she don't feel like wasting her tears like a weak women.

''From how long you are into this business?'' Another women asked passing a disgusting look.

''Whose bloody sin you are carrying..that bas*** whose child it was..''

Every-time it killed her when people question her reputation and modesty. But she is determined to face the whole world and fought for her baby.

''Not a word against my baby!!!!!! Say anything you like about me but not a word about my unborn..This is not any sin..'' She snapped rudely. But they didn't stop and were making fun of her by putting accusation on her modesty.

''You are showing us attitude and wanted us to stay silent. We do not tolerate women like you who carry illegitimate child and do not have any shame. Get out from here otherwise your presence will affect our children's ideology..''

''You are still standing here..chal nikal and never show your ugly face in public area..'' Saying this, another women pushed khushi with a force without caring she is carrying a life inside her. She tried to balance herself but unable to save herself on time. Due to fear, she closed her eyes and her hand automatically clutched the belly but strangely she don't feel any pain.

Khushi lifted her eyes and found a strong arms protectively covered her petite body- The only person, her real devil destroyer. Reason of her all miseries.

A soft music played in a background. His heart felt burden with all the guilt in the world. Her hurt turned into anger again and she got up pulling him apart.

''What are you doing here, Mr Raizada?'' She asked taking a sharp breathe..

''Wasn't you satisfied causing me enough pain?'' He remain silent.

He faced her and see the depth of pain and sorrow he had inflicted on her. He wanted to kill him feeling really bad for ruining her life. He wish he could rolled back the past and do things differently but unfortunately he couldn't.

''Look like he was her new customer..'' As soon as those words hit his ears, his entire body shaken into aggression.

''Enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'' His voice was high and filled with furious. It held a devastating warning but they are not ready to stop their big mouth. He began walking with slow steps like lava come out from volcano.

''I will kill everybody who will say a word against MY KHUSHI and who you are calling bas****! You are a women so behave like one. He is not any sin..He is my chil-'' His words left incomplete.

''No Asr! They said it right. I'm a characterless women and I should die out of shame. If I am not pregnant, I would have died long time ago. I deserve every punishment of trusting someone who was so dear to me at times..I'm sorry for troubling you all..'' She apologized and walk away.

Dread sank him hearing that.

It arched him by comprehending what she had went through so much after he dumped her. She was expressionless without showing any cling of emotion.

He wanted to announced to everyone what relation they shared but she cannot tolerate her name to be connected to this man. It only freshen her wounds. It was her fate to love a loathed enemy and bear the consequences of trusting him, till last breathe.

''Why did you stop me Khushi? How could they utter such bad things about you..'' He asked when he saw her marching out. He followed.

''Why does it matters to you..'' She asked casually as if it was very normal to her. She had become stone hearten. Nothing affected her as she buried all the pain and grief deep inside her and it is too hard to let it out. She had seen worst of it because of him. She don't need any sympathy from anyone, especially from his side. This is the way this cruel world taught her to live. Her heart been shattered and left broken in such a way that no pain is so big for her after that night which was still haunting her.

''Khushi, please don't torture yourself, don't destroy yourself..'' His voice was heavy.

''I m already destroyed now please spare me..'' He could feel pain coursing his entire being hearing that. She took urgent steps and began marching away from his sight. The guilt he felt now enhanced. Closing his eyes vulnerably, he took few breathe.

''Never! I will not let you bear all this alone. I'm responsible for your this condition..'' By covering the distance between them, he literally pulled her making her collapse on his chest.

He looked into her eyes with lot of emotions and some hidden words which is yet to express.

''Your love is the most purest thing I ever known. Now I understand real meaning of love- You are my life, khushi.. '' He said under his breathe. His heart cries but his eyes fixed on her. He moved his hand and tucked her hair behind her ear. She tried to withdraw but Arnav placed his hand on her waist and brought her closer.

''Stop it..'' She pushed him away. He was still staring her.

''Look, I told you I'm not your type so for god sake let me live peacefully and stop following me..'' She greeted her teeth without facing him and walking out. His every touch on her body was like thorns pricking her.

''Khushi I will not allow you go alone.. Main tumhe chod deta hu..'' (I would drop you) She stopped in a sudden and looked at him in disbelief.

''Chod toh apne hame bahat pehle hi diya tha..'' (You had left me long time back) She chuckled in pain.

''What happen guys! Is everything alright..?'' Pallavi asked looking at the tensed faces of her friends, Akash and Arohi.

''You look worried to me?'' She rarely saw Arohi so serious as she was renowned as a prankster. Even in serious situation, she always saw her giggling and playing pranks on others.

''Yah everything is fine..'' She said and looked at Akash before raising this topic. Pallavi looked unconvinced.

''Who is Rohit shikhawat?'' Arohi asked after a pause.

''He was my Room-mate's Brother but why are you asking this so suddenly?

''Do you remember in my brother marriage, you met Aman Mathur and called him Rohit shikhawat by mistake..'' Akash asked and she nodded slightly as it clicked her brain.

''Oh yah I remember he was present there but I guess it was my misunderstanding he is not Rohit shikhawat, He was Asr's employee, Aman mathur..wasn't he clear that day..?''

''But you told us you knew him..''

''No Aru..i never met him before..''

''Are you sure?' She asked hopelessly.

''Come on yaar! You knew very well I have face amnesia..I doubt he was Rohit but it was my misunderstanding. But why you asking about him suddenly..?'' They sighed in disappointment.

''Nope! Just normally we asked..'' She gave a weak smile. After a formal chat, they both walked away.

''What to do now..I thought from pallavi we got some clue but she don't recognize him..'' She pouted sadly.

''Hm..''

''I got one Idea..'' She jumped in excitement and patted her back sheepishly.

''What?'' She told her devilish plan with an evil grin. He get frozen and his eyes widen in shock by her stupidity.

''Are you mad..We were not going to do anything like that..Never..''

''Do we have any option or you wanted her to marry your brother who is cheating him behind his back. Don't you wanted to expose that Bi*** deeds!''

''Of-course I do but not in the cost of risking your life again. They already attacked you..Thankfully you get saved on right time.. but if it happened again..I..'' She rolled her eyes.

''Nothing will happen to me. Trust me!'' She try to make him understand.

''Think wisely Aru..They can harm you in Raizada mansion during our presence then you can imagine what will they do if we..[Paused] No! I don't think it's a great idea to enter Aman's apartment without his acknowledgement..''

''But..''

''No more arguments. I said no means. That's final..'' He shut her up by putting full stop in their conversation.

~~~

As soon as khushi crossed the road, they were both hit with heavy rain. She was hugging herself with her body shivering when a car stopped with a jerk. She look away disinterested as Arnav open the car door and swung to his feet.

''Don't be stubborn khushi come on..get it in..NOW..''

''No thanks..'' He slammed the car door, almost breaking it apart. Without thinking anything, he jerk her arm making her stand face to face with him.

''Why you doing this, khushi? You have problem with me, punish me but why risking your health at this stage..''

''You don't need to worry about me..leave me alone..i will manage.'' She refused bluntly and looked at other side of road. She sniffed.

''Can you elaborate how?'' She look away sternly. She would die but never take his help. Panic rushed his veins seeing her shivering state.

''Khushi, not for yourself at-least think about baby..''

''You need not think of us, Mr Raizada. I will go by foot..'' He flare his nose showing his anger. She started going toward the direction of Karan's apartment. It was a height of tolerance. Why she is so tough nut to crack. He frowned and lifted her up to take her inside his car forcefully.

''Leave me! You only learn how to impose your rights on others..''

''You are right..'' He gave his trademark smirk and kissed her cheeks softly one after other. ''When my beautiful women is so stubborn and not ready to listen anything, I love to force you like this..'' She tilted her head awfully.

''You cannot force me. I m not your slave..'' She was punching him to let's go of his clutches.

''Shut up and sit quite..'' He scolded her and dumped her inside and about to start his car. That's when a silver car stopped in front of his SUV. Her eyes glinted. She shoved his hand furiously and moved out without any second wait.

''Thank god khushi, you are safe..'' Karan reached her and she hugged him. His jaw clenched with rage looking at his lady into his arms.

Khushi sat in his car without giving a glance at Arnav and both drove off leaving him burned in fire.

''You did a big mistake by touching my khushi..'' He raised his one eyebrow and shoved his hand in the pocket of his pants and his gaze swung to her who was still stick to Karan being in his car.

''Sooner or later you have to come into my arms, sweetheart..'' There is so much amusement in his expression.

~~~

''Di, please eat something. You haven't eat anything since last night..'' Anjali shook her head and plainly looking at the ceiling without any movement. Lavanya was getting really irritated by her tantrum. She touched her face to make her look at her but get shocked as she was burning in fever.

''You are having fever..'' Lavanya pretend to get worried. ''I will call the doctor..'' Anjali stopped her from dialing.

''Please Lavanyaji..I don't need anyone..leave me alone..'' She joined her both hands and Lavanya rolled her eyes.

Once she moved out, Anjali shut the door from inside and knelt down with her eyes soaked with tears. Her whole body was trembling lightly. Unwantedly and unknowingly, she was getting angry on herself and began throwing things on the floor.

''Is she mental! What is her problem!'' She was pissed off now. Not able to understand how to handle her, she remove her mobile to inform Asr but being stopped remembering his words.

''No! If Asr came to knew about his so called Di illness, he would surely blame me saying I'm not liable to take care of her..'' She was frustrated.

~~~

Akash just take out his car from parking area waiting for Arohi to come so they can start to her apartment. After waiting for nearly 15 minutes, he saw her walking toward him with her face showing her annoyance. Her temper is rising and her lips chanting some cursing mantras. He smiled knowing well why she was angry with him. He moved out from his car as soon as he saw a flower shop. This will definitely cheer her mood. He thought and walked toward the direction of shop to bring red rose for his cute angry girlfriend.

In the meanwhile, Arohi was standing near his car and scanning her eyes left and right from past 5 minutes. But there is no sign of her. She check the watch in between.

''Abhi toh yahi tha..where he went?'' She made a face. Annoyed, she started to pace in the middle of the road. She don't like when anyone make her wait. She pouted angrily and started to marching ahead giving a punch to his car.

''How could he say no to my plan?'' She groaned. I will go to Aman's house to search proof alone either he accompany me or not! I don't care..''

On the other hand, Akash came back and reached his car to look for her. After walking few steps, he saw glimpse of her from few inches distance.

''Aru where you going...'' She snorted.

''Don't talk with me...'' She gave a glare before walking ahead.

''Baby I'm sorry. Please come back..'' She shook her head like a kid. He was trying to pacify her but she was not going to melt so easily. He was about to enter his car but stopped when a white car was coming toward her end with a fastest speed.

''Arohiii..'' He shouted loudly making her turned around. She rooted on a road looking at Akash fearful face and then at a car which were now nearing her.

''Move!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..'' He screamed. She get totally numb, not knowing what to do and then a car dashed making her rolled on other side.
