Chapter 87: Unexpected move

What the hell Akash. What do you want? Stop stalking me."

Arohi is getting fed up by his non-stop stalking. From the time she left Aman's house, he left no chance to pass by without talking to her. Wherever she goes, he comes behind her. His non-stop calls and coming to her office place made her hell agitated. As a result, her colleagues were passing deteriorating comments about her relationship with Akash. She can tolerate everything but anyone putting a finger on her loyalty toward her husband is something she cannot accept.

She thought after leaving Aman house, her problems will end and she will get peace to think about her future. But No. It increases tenfold. Credit goes to Akash. He keeps stalking her wherever she goes.

"We need to talk about us" Akash held her shoulder and brought her to an isolated place.

"Us? There were never us. It's only about you. You only love to impose rights over me. Our break-up happened due to your one wrong misconception. you decide to end our relationship and put false accusations on me. When I moved on and got my true love, you again came back.."

"Aman is not your true love. If he does, he will never doubt your love. I am your-" A hard slap landed on his cheeks causing him to step back.

The patience and sanity which she was holding for so long is finally broken. She lost all her cool and pushed him with such a force he stepped back.

"HOW DARE YOU COMPARE YOURSELF WITH AMAN. HE IS THE MAN I LOVE, RESPECT AND ADMIRE THE MOST. WHAT DID YOU SAY, HE DOUBTED MY LOVE? REALLY? HIS LOVE AND TRUST UPON MY LOVE IS NOT AS WEAK AS YOU HAD ON ME. WHEN YOU REJECTED ME, HUMILIATED ME, HE STOOD BY ME, PROTECTED ME, COMFORTED ME, PAMPER ME. HE WIPE MY SORROWS, BROUGHT SMILE ON MY FACE. HE GATHERED THE BROKEN PIECES OF MY HEART. WITHOUT ANY EXPECTATION OF GETTING MY LOVE BACK, HE DID EVERYTHING TO BROUGHT SMILE ON MY FACE. FOR MY HAPPINESS, HE CAN GO TO ANY EXTENT. THAT DAY WHEN HE SAW US TOGETHER IN HOSPITAL,HE DIDN'T QUESTION ME ONCE. INSTEAD, HE WAS READY TO LET ME GO. THIS IS HOW HE IS. BUT A SELFISH MAN LIKE YOU WOULD NEVER UNDERSTAND WHAT TRUE LOVE MEANT"

"Then why did you leave me?" A male voice came from back. She was about to go back, but the moment she heard this familiar voice, her heartbeat rose up. It froze her on stop as she understood who was standing behind. Tears made their way down her cheeks. Aman came forward and called her name. There is regret and pain in his voice.

Her heart is arching to go and hug him. But recent events stop her from breaking the walls.

Akash's eyes glinted in happiness. He gestures to Aman to clear out all the issues among them. It was his part of plan to provoke Arohi to such an extent that she left with no option but to confess her feelings for the man she loves. He knew her heart only beats for Aman. However, he triggers her and portrays himself as a villain in front of her eyes. After knowing she left Aman house, he was guilt ridden. Because somewhere he was responsible for their separation. He tries everything so that she goes back to Aman house. When nothing works, he applies reverse psychology.

"Sorry Arohi..I.."

As Aman tries to face her, she again turns her back.

"Please maaf kardo. I promise, I will never do this again." He waited for a few moments. By getting no response from her end, he sighs with disappointment and gets disheartened and begins to move.

When he was moving, he felt her hand upon him. He lifted his teary gaze and their eyes met. They said unspoken words to each other and then broke into a tight tug.

Akash wiped off a small drop of tear using his thumb and smiled widely seeing their union. Finally he is relieved. The burden which he was carrying for a long time finally lifted out.

Giving the couple space, he walked away and prayed to god to give them all the love and happiness in their married life.

"Don't say anything. Just hold me. Hold me tight and say that you never do this stupidity ever again. Arohi is yours, only yours. I lever imagined to love anyone more than you." She confessed and his heart melted into joy.

"I love you Arohi. I love you so much" He cupped her face and slowly took her lips for a passionate kiss. This kiss is the promise to give her security, trust, faithfulness and love throughout her life.

"We love you too" His happiness was no boundary absorbing her words. He placed a soft hand on her flat belly before bending down on his knees.

Thank you Arohi. Thank you for giving me a family. Few years ago, I lost everything. I had no one whom I call as mine. But today I have everything. I have you. I have my family". He cannot express his joy in words and continue shedding tears."

She goes down to his length and kisses his tears. "You deserve all the happiness in this world, Aman. I cannot give you back the one you lost, but I make new memories with you where past no-more torments you"

Sooner both drove into their loving world.

~~~

After a long honeymoon trip, Arnav and Khushi were ready to return back to India. The pregnancy news of Arohi made them super happy. More than Arnav, Khushi is excited to meet her little sister. Starting from London, Zurich, New zealand, they visited many beautiful countries in the last few days. Today is the last day of their honeymoon. Currently they are in a Goa Beach and relaxing under the sun.

Gloomily, he hugged Khushi tightly, enclosing into his tight embrace.

"Is it important to go back?" She broke apart and looked at her dearest husband's sad face with an awe expression.

"My darling Hubby. You are forgetting that my second love is impatiently waiting for me." His grip tightened around her waist. With a deadly pull, she felt a jerk and looked into his intense eyes.

"Only I have the right to love you. I cannot share my love with anyone. Not even with my son."

"Itna pyaar karte hai aap humse" (You love this much?) With an overwhelming voice.

"More than you can ever imagine." With that, he started to bite her lips first softly and then aggressively.

"Behave Arnavji. People are around"

"You think I care?" He continued kissing her lips and his naughty hands were playing nasty game to her skin. She protested and tried to break the kiss. But he didn't allow her to move and continued biting her lips hungrily. Today is the last day of their honeymoon and he would not let a single moment pass by without romancing her.

Without leaving her lips, his hand moved toward the strap of her bikini. He was about to pull it off when suddenly he felt a third gravity pull from the opposite end.

A 'what the' escapes his mouth. He turned back to bark at the person who dared to hit him. Before he did anything, a girl of late 20's slapped him hard on his face.

This was the biggest blow for him. Khushi was too shocked.

"HOW DARE YOU FORCED KHUSHI..YOU BLOODY CASANOVA. I WOULD SEND YOU BEHIND THE BAR IF YOU DARE TO GET CLOSE TO HER. HOW DARE YOU KISS HER WITHOUT HER PERMISSION..SECURITY..SECURITY..HELP..THROW THIS BASTARD OUT OF HERE"

The girl stood in front of Khushi in a way shielding her. He has no idea who this tiny girl who dared to slap Asr and what she wants. Is she mad? Who the hell is she to stop me from going close to Khushi. Most importantly, how does she know her name? Does Khushi know her? Arnav looks at Khushi for a moment asking through his eyes who she is.

"Hey, don't look at her and try to scare her. You are a rich spoiled brat. Who gives you a licence to do whatever you want."

"Excuse me? Who the hell are you?

"You may not know me. But I know you very well. What kind of person you are."

"Just mind your own business." In a non sense tone, he replied and held Khushi's hand.

"LEAVE HER" Anger rose up high on her head.

Khushi tried to speak in between but the girl didn't allow her to say a word. She continues accusing him thinking he forcefully kissed her without permission.

"I do have a license to touch MY WIFE. Why do you have a problem?"

"What Nonsense are you talking about?" She again raised her hand, but this time Arnav transformed into Asr and grabbed her hand.

"You have no idea whom you have messed with, young girl. You are lucky that Khushi is present here, otherwise I would have shown what is the consequence of messing with Asr" His voice conveys the threat and his eyes are splitting fire. Khushi gulped.

She wanted to save her friend. So, she tries to tell her what relationship she shares with Arnav. But the girl is brave enough to face him. She didn't allow her to speak and sign Khushi 'let me handle him.' Khushi slapped her head as she knew no one on the planet could handle him when he was in angry mode.

The girl continued arguing with him.

"Do whatever you want. I never allow anyone to hurt my friend-"

"Stop it RADHIKA." Khushi breaks the long silence and pulls her into a corner. But she is so pissed off. She wanted to teach him a lesson. Somehow Khushi dragged him in a corner and tried to make her understand what she was thinking was not true.

On the other hand, Arnav began to wonder from where this new friend of Khushi enters. He left in deep thought as this name 'Radhika' seems familiar to him. He must have seen her somewhere. He began thinking for a while and then it stuck him where he had seen her. Oh yes, how can I forget this wild cat? She is the same girl who created a huge drama in his and Lavanya's engagement ceremony. Ofcourse, for Khushi she came to break their marriage. Radhika accused him of being his wife. Later when he went to grab her, she flew away. Technically she is directly and indirectly becoming the cupid in their relationship. He smiles widely thinking about those golden days. He used to get agitated and pissed off by one middle girl. From the day Khushi entered into his life, she created hurricanes into his life. Who had thought one day the same girl would become an inseparable and integral part of his life.

"Stop it Radhika. What are you doing" Arnav's gaze was fixed on two of them. While Radhika shoots murderous glare at him.

"Did you see the audacity of that man? How is he staring at you? How dare he call himself your husband. Why didn't you punch him? Where is that brave, independent and strong opinionated Khushi lost who stood against injustice happening with her. That monster kissed you without your will and you didn't say a word. Why Khushi? Why are you still blindly in love with this Casanova?

"He is not the same Asr. He is a changed man. It's a very long story. That is what I wanted to tell you that-"

Oh come on Khushi. Such men never changed. He is again fooling you. It's high time you should take strict action against him. If you won't I would-" Radhika got furious and wanted to beat him hard.

Khushi tries to explain to her but Radhika doesn't let her speak a word. "You must have filed the case that moment when he ditched you and was going to marry Lavanya. It's my fault I shouldn't leave you when you need me the most. That time you thought he would harm me, so you sent me out of India. I thought his matter was closed and he might have got the punishment for his deeds by you. Why did you lie to me Khushi? You told me that you would make that Asr life hell. Why is he stalking you? You are married right? You must be with your husband. What is he doing with you?"

"Will you allow me to speak"

"No I won't. My blood is boiling seeing his smirk. What is he doing with you? Why did he kiss you?"

"Because I love her" Asr voiced out before walking toward them.

Taking long strides, he headed forward. In no time, he pulled his lady love close to his chest.

"Baby, you didn't tell me that your special friend is also invited on our honeymoon." Before Khushi opens her mouth to say something, he shuts her up by giving a peck on her right cheeks.

This bold act by him fueled Radhika to such an extent she didn't give attention to his phrase "OUR HONEYMOON"

Khushi became a sandwich between the two. Instead of revealing about their husband-wife relationship, he agitated Radhika by flirting with Khushi in front of her.

"Hey you leave her." Showing finger, she tries to warn him.

" Do whatever you like. I won't leave her"

"Listen Mister. I know you are a very wealthy man but that doesn't mean you do whatever you want. Leave her else I will beat you with my sandal." Hiding his amused expression, he continued to flirt with his official wife. But this is oblivious of her.

That's it. Radhika lost all the remaining patience. She removed her sandal and held within her hands to break his head when..

"STOP IT RADHIKA. HE IS MY HUSBAND. HE WASN'T"T FORCING ME. IN FACT HE NEVER IMAGINED TO FORCE ME. BECAUSE WE LOVE EACH OTHER."

What are you..? You mean..He..I..mean..I hit..my..jiju.."

Her face turned pale. Those words continue ringing to her ear. It took her some time to realize the fact. She can't believe this? Did Khushi really marry the one whom she hated the most?

The sandal which Radhika was holding hit on herself, leading both ARnav and Khushi burst into laughter.

This was the biggest blow for Radhika. She used to hate him as he made Khushi's life miserable. In the past, She helped Khushi to achieve her revenge so that she would get justice for all the wrong doing that happened to her. After their ugly break-up, she never thought Asr and Khushi would become one again. She had heard a lot of articles in the newspaper about his link up with other women. Was it all false?

Till today she thought Arnav Singh Raizada only knew how to use girls like a tissue paper. But after knowing about their love story from Khushi and how much he loves her, she gets tongue tied. Guiltily, she looks down. Radhika cannot meet his eyes.

"Sorry I thought.."

"Your one sorry is not going to change the fact that you slapped and hit Asr."

"Forgive her, Arnavji. It's not her fault. She doesn't know about our marriage and how much you matter to me."

"You stay out of this, Khushi"

"But.."

His one glare is enough to shut her up. Radhika nervously blinked her eyes when he stepped toward her. She has no idea what kind of punishment he will give her. Will he shoot me? Will he bring me to the roads? Will he bankrupt me? No..No..I am already facing a financial crisis. I badly need a job. I cannot take panga from him otherwise he will use his contacts and sue me from my current job.

"To gain my forgiveness is not easy. Ask Khushi. She knows what would happen if anyone triggers me. Especially a girl. Once Khushi slapped me and I ruined her life for the lifetime. What about you?" He folded his hands and stared at Radhika. His eyes convey the threats causing her gulp.

"No..No..Please no..I shouldn't have slapped you..I will do anything but don't remove me from my job. My boss is very cruel."

"That's not a big deal. I can give you a job in my company but..

"Really?" She jumped like a kid in excitement and looked at Khushi grinning. While Khushi gives her a thumbs up.

"Wait a second. I haven't finished it yet. To get a job in my company, you have to do something in return. Think it as a payback for your act"

"I will do anything," Radhika replied.

"Are you sure?" He asks with finality.

"Of Course!" She starts celebrating and happily hugs her friend. But there is no smile on Khushi's face as she knows there is something cooking in his devil brain.

"Okay then send me your family details. I will book your family tickets for India."

"Why are my parents required for this job? Wait a second. What kind of job it is"

"You have to be my brother Akash Singh Raizada wife to get eligible into my company."

WHAT?
