Chapter 73: Hidden truth

''Shut up, Khushi. He is mine!''

''No mine''

''Mine''

''Khushi''

''Arnavji!''

Like passing the parcel, both tossing little Ayaan one by one like a basketball. He became the sandwich between possessive Mumma Papa. They are fighting for their baby like a competition, On the other hand, Ayu became mad.

ENOUPH!!!!!!!

''No-one touches Ayaan Singh Raizada without his permission. If you guys phant to hold me tight..gibe me tight huggy then.. then..then..'' He took a brief pause. His eyes turn mischievous. ''There is a condition..''

''What?'' Both ask in unison.

''Give a longwala kissy..''

With a broad smile, both come forward to kiss him.

''One shecond..Not me buddhu (pause) to each other..'' He announced. Their face color changed.

Arnav get tongue tied while Khushi turn horrified hearing his unexpected demand. For a moment, no-one utter a word. They exchange glances then immediately look away.

''Baby this is not appropriate..I mean..we..'' Khushi approaches Ayaan but he gave a warning glare.

''Phull shtop mumma.. IIphf you bhant to lobe me, to pyaar me then kiss Papa..it's my older (Order) Waise bhi if you kishy me then why not papa?

''Don't behave stubborn like your Papa and come here. Arnav gives a accusing glare to Khushi by which she glare back. ''It's time for your medicine..''

''Me no hear any of your talk until you fulfill my wish..'' said Ayaan stamping his foot.

''Ayaan beta..aisa zid nahi karte..'' (Don't be stubborn, beta) Arnav lovingly touch his face but he shoved off his hand.

''Ap bhi toh zid karte ho Papa..main bhi karunga..Mumma ko kiss karo..now..now..now.. (You too show your stubbornness..I also do..Kiss mumma right now)

Arnav was about to scold him but suddenly he hear Ayaan yelped in pain. Both got scared and reached to hold him but he stopped them.

''You no pyaar me..you only pyaar your ego..me no important...me unwanted..'' Ayaan started his emotional blackmailing.

''No baby, your mumma-Papa love you very much..'' Khushi felt very bad seeing his baby in this terrible condition.

''But you no lobe each other..'' Ayaan said angrily with gritted teeth at the same time crying rolling on the floor. His injured leg is paining him. But in reality it is all his mind blowing act.

''If we didn't then how you have born..'' said Arnav. This made Khushi blush hard. More puzzled she got when she felt Arnav's arms snaked around her waist. Next moment she found herself close, very close to him.

''Arnavji yeh aap..'' Before she says a word, he smack a passionate kiss on her right cheek. She froze like an ice. Little Ayaan claps his hand cheerfully and immediately sneak out from the room to break this news to his massi.

Unaware to the surroundings, both eyes locked as if this is the last time they are seeing each other. Arnav has no clue Ayaan is not in the room as he is too lost in drowning into the depth of heaven.

''Apki mumma iss duniya ki sabse khubsurat..sabse pyaar aur sabse alag hain..Khushi hi vo ladki hain jiske apko papa ko pyaar karna sikhaya..Pyaar pe atut vishas karna sikhaya..jab apke Papa ne mumma ko pehli baar dekha tabse leke ajtak ek bhi aisa pal nahi guzra jab maine unke baare mein socha na ho..agar Apko ab bhi lagta hain papa apki mumma se pyaar nahi karte toh main apko bata du Khushi meri zindagi ki sabse badi deal hain..''

(Your mother is the word's most beautiful..most adorable and most unique person..Khushi is that girl who taught your Papa the actual meaning of Love. She is the girl who taught me to trust on your partner blindly..When for the first time I saw your mother till now there wasn't a single second spent I hadn't think about her..If you still think I don't love her then let me tell you Khushi is the most important deal of my life and my life only revolve around her)

She get speechless. Tears of regret fell from her face. She clutches his hand tight. His confession melted her heart. All the beautiful moments rolling back in front of her eyes. For the first time they crashed against each other and had a heated argument after his proposal for one night stand. It is still fresh in her mind.

*Flashback*

HOW DARE YOU!!!!!!!

Khushi was taken by surprise when a strong arm pulled her in a corner from the middle of the dance floor when she was dancing along with her friend Lavanya.

''I don't like any other man roam around you..''

''Excuse me who the hell are you. It's my choice with whom I want to be a dance partner.'' She said arrogantly and turned to go but once again found herself cornered by Arnav. This time he is in hell mad and agitated. No girl dare to deny him. But she is something different.

''How dare you bastard. Who gives you the right to bring me without my permission..leave me..'' She tried to push his hand from her but his grip on her waist tightened in a steel grip.

''This is Arnav singh raizada Party and I don't like sharing the things I own..find yourself lucky that Asr show an interest in you..'' She sharply glare him and open her mouth to shout. To see her parted lips, he drowned in them. He wanted to kiss those lips, to claim them for eternity. For the first time he felt so much attraction for a girl in their first meet.

''Luche lafange sharam nahi ati aise ladki pe dore dalte huie..tere ghar mein Maa behen nahi han kya..sandal se maarungi kamine kutte..'' (You idiot..shameless man..what are you staring at me?Don't you have mother or sister at home..I will beat you with my sandal) He smiled foolishly as her melodious voice played to his ears like a piano.

''Be mine for one night..'' This is more like a command than a request. That's it.  Khushi get trigger really hard.

SLAP

The sound of the slap echoed to the entire party and everyone stared back at the scene all shocked and perplexed.

''Next time don't cross my path..You are my best friend's boyfriend. That's why I am leaving you but next time I won't..'' Said Khushi giving him warning and walk away.

''You made a grave mistake rejecting me..You will pay heavily..'' He gulp the drink in one go with his heated gaze fixed to her.

*Flashback end*

''From that night, there wasn't a single moment, your Mumma didn't come to my dream..I started hating her from then and made her fall for this casanova. My only aim to take revenge for that one humiliation but I didn't realize it wasn't my hatred. It was my attraction which later transformed into love. 

''Arnav..'' She held his hand getting emotional, reminiscing that incident and leaned forward and kissed him over his heart. Every pore of her body is screaming to show the same faith which she had in her love before. Her heart is evoking those hidden feelings for her man. She stay into his arms for a while and heard his heartbeat. Each and every beat expressing unsaid words which his heart feels for her. His love and honesty is crystal clear now. She realize it late but now she understood it all. She made a terrible sin doubting his love and causing him responsible for Karan's death.

Breaking the hug, she look into her lover's boy eyes ready to confess it all out.

''Main bhi apse..'' (I also love yo...) Next moment, she felt a strong push from his side leaving her in complete shock.

''Ayaan is gone..No need to continue this drama..''

''Drama?''

''What else..I did all to cheer up my son..'' Arnav said in a non-sense tone and then tore his gaze. This really hurt her. He turned to move away.

''And what about US..'' He halted and looked back in a sarcastic look.

''Us? From when I and you become US? We are strangers.''

''You said you love me and I..'' He gripped her shoulder angrily. It is hurting her more.

''It was all an act Miss gupta. Don't worry I will free you once I settle Arohi with Aman and then you don't have to tolerate a murder near you..''

''Arnav please..you..are..hurting..me..I..'' Tears started rolling from her eyes. Every droplet twitching him like someone stabbed him with a knife. Angrily, he left her and turned to the other side.

Why does she affect me? Why her tears still hurt me..

Because you love me, Arnav.

No I can't love you, Khushi (They began to have a telepathic conversation. )

Why Arnav..?

Because our path is now different..

Can't we forget everything and start afresh..

It's not easy Khushi..

I need you Arnav..I need my Arnavji..I need my lover..Why you got changed..

I am still the same..It is you who have changed..

''Did you say something?'' Arnav turned back abruptly as his heart knocked him.

''Nahi toh..'' (No I didn't) She replied averting her gaze from him.

''I miss you, Arnavji..'' Her heart said.

''I miss you too, Khushi..'' Arnav's heart replied.

''Tumne kuch kaha..?'' Khushi asked this time.

''No..'' Arnav said sternly, making Khushi frown.

''Liar..'' She mumbled and rushed in the bathroom to change into her night suit.

After sometime, Arnav came back to the room after feeding Ayaan his tablet. The moment he entered, he found his mobile in Khushi's hand. He get horrified and immediately snatched it off.

''How many times I told you don't touch my private things..'' Khushi crooked her eyebrow in surprise.

''Relax I was just putting your phone to charge. You are behaving like I am stealing some treasure from you.''

''Khushi you..'' He was about to warn her to stay in her limits when suddenly his phone started ringing. Seeing the caller id, he gets tense.

''Who's this?'' She try to look at the name but he immediately put his phone to his pocket.

''That's none of your business..'' He took a step forward to excuse himself but she didn't let him. move and give him a doubtful look.

''Who is calling MY HUSBAND at this time..show me your phone NOW..'' She commanded possessively charging him.

''My girlfriend..any problem..kindly excuse..''

''Hahaha you tried this trick before also..now it will not work..I know you only love m... '' She paused and both stared at each other sharing an intense eyelock. His mobile again started ringing. Leaving her puzzled, he moved in a corner to have a talk.

Arnavji itne pareshan kyu lag rahe hain? (Why he looks so worried?)

~~~

''Why did you call me at night? I told you currently  I am staying with my family and my wife..'' Said Arnav to Anita

''If it wasn't important I wouldn't have disturb you Asr..actually there is a major problem which require your immediate attention'' Anita breaks the news leaving Arnav in shock.

''What are you saying..how all this happens? Okay I am coming..'' He shut the call and turn around only to find Khushi standing with folded hands.

''Kon hain yeh nayi chudail? Ap kahi nahi ja rahe..samjhe ap..'' (Who is this new vamp? You are not going anywhere. Understand) Showing her finger, she exclaimed.

''Tumse matlab..main kahi bhi jayu..meri marzi..'' (Why does it matters to you. That's my choice wherever i go) 

Her next stunt give him terrible shock. She attack him from behind  and twisted in a force leading him to fall flat on the floor. 

''Khushi stop it..what are you doing dammit..'' Using her dupatta, she shut him up and then tie him against the chair.

''You are not allowed to go anywhere without my permission..''

''Now you are crossing the limits..untie me..It's important to go..''

''What's so important..show me your phone..'' She began to search moving her hand inside his pocket.

''Dare you touch that..'' With a evil grin, she grab his phone and ready to open.

''I will.. do whatever you want..''

''KHUSHI NO..'' He shouted at her but she is adamant.

''I never saw you being so overprotective for me when we were dating.''

''Free me NOW..'' He get paniac seeing her opening his phone.

''Your shouting not going to work in front of your wifey..''

''You are not my wifey..'' By which she shows her wedding chain making him to roll his eyes. Her smile faded seeing password protection in his mobile. She fumed glaring at him while he smirk.

''I am not a fool to keep my phone without a password. Well I had an idea you would spy me some or other day. This is a safety measure I undertaken. You forget Arnav singh Raizada keep two steps ahead while dealing with rivals..

''Tell me your password..''

''Never..''

''What are you hiding..tell me..?''

''I told you I have a girlfriend and let me tell you after our divorce procedure done I am going to marry her..''

''Shut up I will punch you..''

''Go ahead..But first untie me..''

''So that you go back to that chudail..''

Entire night Khushi spent like this locking him up in his bedroom. Arnav tries to gather everyone by yelling but Khushi zips his mouth with her dupatta. This is too much to bear. His anger reached its peak. He gave her many warning to leave him but she didn't spare him. One side, Khushi is sleeping peacefully in the bed, the other side he remain in sitting position spend half of the night on the chair.

In the middle of the night, her sleep got disturbed due to a sudden blow of air. She rubbed her eyes and sat on the bed before carrying her hand toward the side table to drink some water. She yanked and open her eyes to check if he was okay or not. To her astonishment, he is missing.

Dammit..Where he has gone? The rope which she used to tie him is now hanging half to the floor.

~~~

''Hey devimaiya raat se subah ho gayi Arnav kaha han..'' (It's been morning from night..where is Arnav?) 

She is pacing restlessly checking the clock time to time. Her eyes were fixed to the door. She try his number too but unfortunately he left his phone in the room.

''Di, don't worry Jiju will come back..You haven't slept entire night..go and have rest..Once jiju arrive I will inform you..'' Arohi gives her assurance.

''I can't..I want to see him..he hadn't come home whole night..what if..No..''

''Relax Di. He is fine..''

After 2 hours, he came back home. Noticing his puffy red eyes, she suspects something is not right. There is something bothering him. She tries to confront him but he deliberately ignore. She starts spying him but he is too clever and sharp minded. She failed miserably. Wherever she went to follow him, Arnav made Khushi busy with AYaan making it difficult for her to shy him.

Next day Akash gets discharged from the hospital. That day a huge argument and tiff happened between Arnav and Akash. Arnav is not ready to tolerate him in the Raizada mansion after what he did with Arohi. Somehow Anjali and Shyam managed to cool Arnav's anger but for a short span of time. Later at night, Akash caught Aman in Arohi's bedroom. Again drama started when Akash again started humiliating both Arohi and Aman. But in reality it was his plan to bring Arohi and Aman closer. He trigger Arohi in such a way, Aman took a stand for Arohi and proposed to her in front of all.

''I will marry her..It's enough now..I can't see my Arohi to spoil her life for a man who doesn't value her..'' Said Aman holding Arohi's hand without any fear.

''Aman..'' Arohi press his hand, signalling him to stop.

''Why do you want to sacrifice your life? I respect your decision. Till now I keep quiet thinking Akash will keep you happy. He is your first love with whom you saw many dreams. I thought he would give you the love I was never able to give you. But I was wrong..I can't see you suffer anymore..''

''But..Di..?''

''Han keh do Arohi..tumhari Di bhi yahi chahti han..'' (Say yes..Your Di wants the same) Khushi speaks out bringing everyone's attention back to her. ''I am sorry Aman..I keep you responsible for everything that has happened in the past..It was my mistake. Thanks to Arnav who showed me mirror otherwise my silly sister was ready to do this stupidity..'' She pull Arohi ear and started to  scold her.

''Dare to say a word to my saali..'' Arnav protect Arohi from Khushi's wrath.

''Thank you Jiju..'' She hugged Arnav and cried on his shoulder. Everyone gets emotional including Akash. But he didn't let it be visible on his face. He pretends to be the most cruel man who is not ready to accept rejection.

''I won't let Arohi to marry anyone..This marriage will not happen..'' Akash get infuriated but from inside he is content to see Arohi get her true partner.

''Don't repeat the mistakes I already made in the past. I also made a girl suffer because she reject me but you are not like Asr.'' Arnav kept his hand on Akash's shoulder trying to make him understand one last time but he just pushed him away and dashed off from there.

~~~

''Our plan succeeded..Tomorrow is the most awaited wedding of Arohi and Aman.'' Said Akash wiping off his tears. His friend place a hand on his shoulder. But Akash reassure he is fine.

''Why are you making yourself a villain in front of your family members..why don't you go and tell them truth'' His friend asked.

''If I tell you the same to you..will you go and reveal your identity in front of all..Will You go KARAN..Why you go in front of Khushi and tell her you are still alive..Will you tell her what actually happened that night..''

''No never..I can't face her..''

''And what about my bhai and bhabhi relation?''

To be continued!
