Chapter 64: Denial

Early in the morning, golden sun got up like a baby. Sun rays has fallen into a room. Arnav was in deep slumber and a satisfied smile adoring his lips. It's like after ages he was getting proper sleep. Credit goes to his wife.

A loud ringing sound disturbed his nape. Under the blanket, they were probably naked. Arnav slowly move as the mobile beep getting louder. Annoyed, he shut it off and then turned to his left to hug her. But found it empty. Clock strikes 9 am, he did not realize he slept so late. Alhough his eyes were closed, but he could feel her every breathe lingering his senses. He can't express into words how badly he had missed her. Without her, he was incomplete. But now everything settled. Her submission was the clear indication she loves him too.

After so many damn years, he felt so close to his dream, to his addiction, to his love. That's the magic of Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada that made the great Asr head over heel for her. He smile broadly and recalled how close they got last night.

''Khushi..'' Lazily he stretched his arms and got up wearing his slippers and then wore his pants. He glance at the washroom, waiting for her desperately to come out. His eager eyes constantly glued at the closed door of washroom. He wanted to see her, talk to her, hug her and pour out everything that he hardly express it into words.

''Why are you taking it so long, come out Jaan..'' He whispered with a smile.

Again no response. He got worried and walk forward to knock the door. His heart beating loudely.

''Don't tell me you're regretting what we--'' He was taken in surprise when he entered and registered there is no-one inside.

Anger rose up on his head. Her sudden disappearance making him insane.

He comes out from the room and search her crazily. But found her nowhere. Does she left? His inside burnt with intoxicated fire by the thought of being away from her.

''How dare she leave me without my permission..'' Angrily, he punched the wall and sat there thinking. His chain of thought was being distracted by ringtone of his mobile coming from inside. He walk in the room and grab it. He find so many messages and missed call from Di. His grip tightened when Di told him today is Khushi's engagement. But he don't know she lied to him and all was Shyam plan to accomplish their mission.

''How can she marry anyone being already married. Not so easily. You can't play with my emotions, Mrs Raizada..You are entirely mine..my wife..my property and whoever try to eye on you, i will screw him off..'' He hissed.

Grabbing his keys, he drove off.

~~~

''Why why why..Say something mom..speak up dammit'' Little Asr block her way, shooting numerous questions to Khushi. She stood there like a statue hiding her emotions. Her silence frustrating him.

''Do you know how me scared..Phere you were whole night, with whom?'' Asked Ayaan.

 The mere mention about last night causing goosebumps through her entire body. Her eyes get wet when he urge her to look up at him. He was just like him. Always caught her red handed. He have that skills and hidden talent to read her eyes, same like Arnav. Unable to hide her emotion, she ran inside leaving behind a baffled Ayaan.

''Why mumma clrying? Who hulrt (Hurt) her?'' He get intensified and moved to her room which is locked from inside.

''You can't run away..I need my ansher..now now now?'' He knock the door. She kneel on the floor crying her heart out. ''Why you crling mumma..shay na..'' He grew worried hearing her soft sob. ''Please open dool (Door) mumma..tell me name who make you cry i won't spare him..'' His grip tightened. He can't bear her sadness. It is hurting his fragile heart. 

Khushi undersood his worry and try to behave normally. 

''Baby..I'm fine..just little tired..You go and check when your Aru massi arriving home..go and call her''

''No me not going anybhere leabing you..'' He snapped, still glued to the door.

''WHY YOU ARE STUBBORN LIKE HIM...JUST GO..LEAVE ME ALONE..'' She shouted in frustration. 

Her reaction not anger him but worry him. He bare anything but not her tears. That was the another traits he got from his father. 

Ayaan began thinking what was the reason of her cry while scratching his head. But not getting anything.

''For the first time Mumma shhoted (Shouted) But why? What me did?'' He get sad feeling really bad. Indeed she hiding something big. But what was that?

His grip tightened as Mumma crying voice echoing to him outside and making him restless. She closed her mouth and stiffen her sob. She thought he has gone from there but he sat outside her room, waiting for his dearest mumma to come out Then they will start preparing for function that was going to take place on evening.

Khushi is silently sobbing cursing her helpless heart. Whenever she close her eyes, their love making session came before her eyes. His touch, his kisses, his breathe, everything made her feel horrible. Guilt passed through her making her cry more.

She got up from the floor and moved to the washroom to vanish his essence off her soul and body.

Standing in the shower, she rub her skin roughly.

''Why I allow that man near me..why DM..Why again I commit that one mistake..Why my heart not under my control..Why I can't able to hate him..Oh god why i did it..? She shouted in pain and frustration wanted to punish herself. Blinking back the sting of tears, she swallowed against the sharp pain of throat.

Several moments passed but she was as miserable than before. She is now laying in the corner of the dark room. Her clothes are still wet. She was continue fighting the inner struggle between heart and mind in an attempt to suppress those unwanted feelings forever. But does it that easy?

She slant her head and glance at the photo frame of Karan, hanging on the wall.

''I'm sorry..really sorry. Please don't hate me. Karan. I never wanted to love that man who was the reason of your-..'' She paused and weep covering her face. ''Why I become so shameless..How I allow him so near..what was wrong with me..'' She slapped herself two three times but the guilt getting worse than ever. She closed her eyes and recollect how her life changed drastically in one moment.

Flashback*

''Why You cheated me Aman..I will kill you too'' Furiously Lavanya turn the direction of gun from Khushi to Aman and was going to shot him. On the very moment, Arnav hit her head with a sharp rod. She screamed out in pain. Her head began bleeding.

''As..r..rr..yo..u...'' She collapse on the ground as he slap her hard on her face.

''This is for hurting karan..'' He walk forward and put another slap. ''This is for torturing my son..'' Ayaan claps his hand in joy and sign his papa to slap her one more from his side. ''This is for your dare to attempt my wife murder. My wife is my world and you bloody disgusting women..how dare you touch her..'' He slap her non stop. Her face turn swollen. It was Khushi who control his anger and calm him. She protectively press his hands telling him not to dirt his hand touching this women.

What's so special in this khushi that you left me for her? She is just a ordinary middle women who trapped you for..

JUST SHUT UP..DARE TO SPEAK ONE WORD AGAINST MY KHUSHI..'' He let's go off Khushi hand and walk to Lavanya who was in floor. ''I have never met or seen disgusting women like you in my entire life..''

 He entangle Khushi's hand and kissed her temple. ''You cannot separate us..no one can separate us..'' Lavanya glare at Khushi with hatred filled eyes.

''Don't sky so high, Khushi. You snatched my boyfriend and turn him into your husband that doesn't mean you had won him. I curse you  never stay happy. If he can't be mine, he can't be your too..'' Lavanya words enraged Arnav. He pushed her off from touching him and turn to Khushi but Lavanya again held his legs.

''Please don't leave me Asr. I really loves you even more than that khushi ever loves you..'' He glare her angrily with stern expression. His blood is boiling by every passing moment.

''Please give me one chance..I loves you a lot.''

''Really? Do you really know the actual meaning of love? No lavanya you just wanted to had me for my property. At first you trapped Aman, used him as a pawn to fulfill your greed and lust, poison his mind against me and when all your plans failed, you came to kill my family joining hands with Dadi. Your condition will be same as her. This time I won't do any mistakes sending you jail. How dare you hurt my wife and son. For that you will get the worst punishment'

' Grabbing her hairs, he pull her to stand. ''Well, before moving forward I need to confess. I should be very grateful to you for one thing. If It wasn't you, i never met khushi at first place and my life had been spoiled marrying you. Khushi not only transformed me from a jerk into a better person but also safeguard me from marrying you.'' Lavanya inhaled sharply. She cannot stand their closeness at all. Grabbing her bleeding head, she somehow managed to support herself and move backward. Seeing them all lost in their own world, she prepared to run.

''Where you going,..I haven't started my torture yet and you already planning to runaway'' She gulped as she was aggressively pulled and dragged by Asr in the middle. She fell back on the ground near Khushi's feet. Beads of perspiration form on her forehead seeing his rage.

''Please forgive me, Asr. I promise i will go far from your life and never look back. If you want get me to jail..'' said Lavanya.

''No darling. This time your punishment would not than easy one..I already made mistake getting you in the hands of police. But not this time. You dare to hurt the people I love the most..Now be ready to face the worst side of Arnav Singh Raizada..'' Said Arnav and then rang someone to the phone.

Right now lavanya is trapped between three people. Aman, Arnav and Khushi. Mini Asr don't want to miss the chance to participate in the task. But sadly he is too tiny and couldn't do anything other than enjoying and cheering like a audience.

Arnav tied her to the chair and sooner his men arrived bringing all the necessary thing he required. Lavanya get fearful when a huge box presented in front of her. Inside, thousand of rats and mice dancing hungrily for food.

 Khushi lifted Karan from the floor and check his wounds. He blink his eyes in assurance. But she can see how badly he was injured.

''Arnav, I..'' Aman look away, not understanding how to rectify his mistakes. 

''Don't be. You did what you felt right to give justice to your sister. Mahi and Lavanya played a very dirty game with you. I'm glad her deeds exposed to you and you realized your mistakes.'' Aman get astonished wondering how he knew about it..

''Don't give me such look. I know everything since a very long time..I had my sources''. Confessed Arnav and saw Khushi and Arohi. Whereas they were busy in clearing Karan's wounds till Ambulance came.

''Then why did you beat me if you knew about my motives..I thought you will kill me..'' Asked Aman doubtfully.

''Yes. I do wanted to kill you for what you had done to my Khushi. But when i look at Arohi face, my own deeds began to haunt me. You know Aman. Very few people got the second chance and I am among those lucky one who got second chance to correct my mistakes. There was a time I thought I lost my love forever and never get her back. But today when i look back, i realized How lucky I am that Khushi is in my life. Without her, my life was worthless'' Arnav said with a smiling face. His eyes fixed to Khushi. '' If I where at her place and some girl crushed my heart so brutally I don't think I have that guts to forgive that person. But Khushi does. Because has a big heart. Her love is unconditionally..I will only suggest you to do what your heart says. I made very big mistake in past hearing to my mind once leaving her heartbroken. You don't do the same. Own the things that is yours.'' Aman understood what he was trying to hint. He felt ashamed of thinking so low about Asr. Their rapport was so strong in the beginning but his stupidity spoiled it all.

Aman smiled back to Arshi and admire the couple clinging to each other.

Khushi who was crying on Arnav's shoulder. On the other side, Lavanya was shouting in pain. As per his instruction, his men cover her face with a black clothes with million of mouses inside the black cover eating her face like hungry animals. She was begging to spare her. But death was very easy punishment for such kind of women. She deserves worst than this.

''Your face become so ugly and deteriorated that no men will fell in your trap henceforth..'' Said Arnav.

''Please Aman atleast you helped me. You had loved me so much..'' Begged Lavanya crying mercillesly.

''This is your punishment for killing my innocent diama and spoiling my life..Today her soul rest in peace.'' Said Aman with so much bitterness. Her cruel way of killing diama still tormenting him. Arohi console him through her eyes which is not go unnoticed by Khushi. She didn't like this at all. But she remain silent due to Karan's current state.

Seeing so much brutality, she cover her baby Ayyan eyes but he frown and immediately shrugged off mumma face.

''Arnavji..''

''Not this time Khushi. There is so mercy for such kind of women..'' She hugged him and cried on his shoulder.

''Hume laga humne apko kho diya..'' (I thought I lost you) Said Khushi feeling relieved being into his protective arms.

Sooner ambulance came and few men help to lift Karan and put him to stretcher.

''He is fine Khushi, relax..'' She clasp Arnav's hand worriedly. Oxygen mask only helping Karan to breathe while putting him to the ambulance.

''Hame bachane ke liye karan ne apni jaan ki bhi parwa nahi ki..'' (To save me he never cares about his own life.)

''That's the power of love, Khushi.'' Said Arnav and went busy to instruct his men to keep close watch on Lavanya. He can't let her die so easily. He wanted to torture her more. Her death should be the most cruelest one.

Khushi go downstairs till Ambulance. She is feeling really guilty and couldn't met Karan's eye. He loved me unconditionally without expecting anything in return but I always taken his love for granted. Lavanya was right. I am very selfish. I used Karan for my advantage. She thought in her mind while staring Karan from few distance without realizing this is the last time she was seeing her best friend.

Seeing her disturbed, Karan remove oxygen mask and requested nurse to let him talk once before they drive back.

''I don't want to see tears in your eyes..Okay..'' Said Karan.

''Don't talk Karan..you are hurt..'' Sad Khushi. He felt happy seeing so much concern for him. But other side, he is empty handed. No matter how hard he try, he can't help without loving her. His one sided love getting on his nerves.

''Don't worry my wild cat, You can't get rid off me so easily..''

''Shut up..I will slap you if you say this again..Nothing will happen to you..did you hear me..You will be fine..'' Said Khushi touching his hand one last time.

''And if I die then..''

KARAN!!!!!!!!!!

*Flashback end*

Khushi come back to senses when Arnav came with a blast. Before she react, he directly jumped inside her bedroom and hover upon her. Her body went stiff.

''Remembering me?'' Said Arnav huskily.

''Why you are here?''

''Do i need anyone's permission to enter my house?''

''This is not your house. And if you are going to say I'm your wife. Let me remind you about OUR DEAL..'' Her last word infuriate him. ''You forgot or let me do the honor to remind you the terms and condition of that contract you signed 2 years ago..'' Khushi trigger to the side that hurt him the most.

She never thought she will make him remember about that contract. Out of haste and anger she made a contract and took his sign. Right now, her mind was clouded with hate for him. She was forced to do which her heart not willing to obey. Keeping stone to her heart, she reached to cupboard and took out file and started reading the clause written in bold letters.

I, Arnav singh Raizada, breaking all my ties with my wife Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada. Because I don't want to continue this marriage. After this moment, i will never try to contact my wife and my son. I never try to met my son. From here onwards his custody goes to my wife. If in future, I try to contact any of them, my wife had every authority to drag me to jail. She can even get hold to my all property if i breach the contract in future..''

''So Mr raizada..You yourself leave or may I call security to throw you out..'' Said Khushi without turning or look at him.

''Today is the most important day for me. It's better without creating any scene you take your leave. And yes. Go from window. I don't want my son to see his father and get upset..'' She spitted out. Her words were like acid to him. Furiously he whipped her around.

''Tell me it is not true. Tell me you are not marrying someone else. Tell me that you ..''

''I don't love you.'' She ignore his question instead of clearing his misunderstanding that it was her marriage. It's better he think it was her marriage. Currently she don't want her son to know about her father. For this, she is ready to bear his hatred.

''You respond to my touch yesterday. You did feel something. And now you are showing me this bloody contract telling me you don't love me''. Said Arnav urging her to tell the truth.

''Yes i don't''. She answered with new determination. Although from inside, her heart objecting.

''Then why the hell you make love to me. Why you submit yourself on me?''

''I don't know what it was. May be it was a mistake. I am so lost. I don't know why i did this but you and me. Not possible''.

To her astonishment he started laughing.

''What made you think just because i love you like a mad. You got the authority to do anything you want''. Monster is back.

''You are forgetting Who i am. I am Arnav Singh Raizada. A man who got everything he wanted. In the past i wanted to had you on my bed. I got you. And this time I..'' He stopped hiding his pain but the devil roared inside him.

''I have to marry someone else. I have decided to move on. You too find someone better and get married. We are not meant to be together..'' She lied because she wanted to stay away for him. But it turn out to be opposite she had expected to be.

''No! You are only mine''. He yelled and punched his hands to the mirror. She went horrified. So much blood pooled off his hands. She get afraid. Dunno what to do how to stop his madness.

 Entire room was a mess as he was destructing her room and breaking everything that comes to her way.

Hearing all the disturbing mishaps happening inside made little Asr hell disturbed. By now he was aware who was with her mother. Arohi too came there and consoling Ayaan. But he was hell mad.

''Dad hurting mumma..I won't splare him..''

''Ayaan no!!!!!!!!!'' Arohi make a vain attempt to stop him. By next moment, she found him kicking the door with his tiny legs.

God only knows what will happen when two Asr come face to face.
