Chapter 38: Unforgettable past

''Don't touch me..''

''Shut up and show me your rashes..'' Her eyes widen in shock.

''Are you mad! I will not expose myself to you..''Taking out cream from desk he walk toward her. She moved backward until her back hit the wall.

''Arnav dekho don't come near me..its quite normal in pregnancy..'' She warn him showing her finger.

''Don't teach me and strip!''

''What?'' She stare him with narrowing eyes.

''Your stare not going to change my mind. Do what I'm saying sweetheart..Hurry up. We are getting late for office..'' He said normally.

''Are you insane..'' She shouted struggling by his steel grip and he smile pulling more near to him.

''Kyu sharam aa rahi hain..'' (Feeling shy) He lean and whispered near her lips.

''But in London you were quite bold..'' He teases her.

''Just shut up..'' She get angry again. He have no shame. It is so easy for him to say all this but for her, it is not easy to forget what he has done.

''Don't shout at your husband its not good for you..'' He slid his fingers inside her kameez and gave a gentle squeeze. She grew uncomfortable as his rough hand played with her sensitive skin. Their eyes locked and a current passed through them. The way she look at him he feel alive again. She retaliated immediately.

''You're scared..'' He pull her face near to his lips and look into her eyes darkly. Her lips quivered when his breathe fan her skin.

Arnav smiled at her expression. She look so untouched and pure. He never get tired staring her like that.

Slowly and steadily he is making circles behind her back. She clutched his shirt for support. He have no control over himself and continue massaging her rashes and pulling her more near to him.

''What are you doing..'' He held her waist for support.

''Shh..''

''Relax..'' He keep reassuring her in between and place her head on his chest. Though she protested but at last she had no choice other than giving into his demand. Whenever he touch her like this she couldn't control her hormones, he thought.

''Arnav please stop it..'' She tilted her head as he unzip the chain of her kameez and trail down his hand behind her waist.

''Kyu dar gayi..'' (Get scared?) His one hand slid behind her nape to make her look into his eyes as she is avoiding direct contact while with other hand, he is applying cream softly.

''Its okay! you have all right to stare at your husband and to get scared..''

''Hum kisise nahi darte..'' (I'm not scared of anyone) She exclaimed firmly fidgeting in his arms.

''Really! Toh tumhari saasein itni kyu phul rahi hain..'' (Then why your breathe get so tensed)

''That's ridiculous. There is nothing like that..'' Her kameez already slipping from her shoulder. To prevent him looking at her disheveled clothes, she hugged him tightly. His lips curved amusingly at her body gesture. She is still same khushi. Innocent and sweet. She is trying so much to act unaffected and strong but his heart knows very soon she will accept him.

''Arnav for god sake stop this..'' His this kind of behavior getting intolerable to bare for her.

''How many times I had to remind you don't talk to me like that..'' He glare her.

''Chodo hame..'' (Leave me)

''Relax I'm not going to cross my line until and unless you are ready..'' Her body went cold but he didn't left her. He continue applying cream on her rashes tenderly. Khushi close her eyes receiving his warmth. She hate his touch. It disgust her. But she doesn't have any option as she cannot let him to see her like that.

''She is as usual..stubborn..'' He wondered. The way she is relaxing in his arms, he felt himself in heaven.

''Tum theek ho..'' She didn't respond. They get drowned.

~~~

Only few hours Arnav Singh Raizada! Jitni ash karni hain karlo uske saath kyunki kuch hi palon mein tumhari khushi aur tumhara bachha tumse hamesha hamesha ke liye dur jane wala hain..'' (Have fun with her as much you want..within few moments your khushi and your unborn going to take her last breathe) He said standing at the top roof of the building just opposite to khushi's bedroom. Even though he hired men for this task but he didn't want a single chance for her survival so he himself came to see her death.

''Now you will realize Asr how does it feel when you saw your dear one dying in front of your eyes..'' He hissed with greeted teeth and help one of his men to set up rifle in the biped stand.

RAIZADA MANSION:

''This is a limit..how could he throw Lavanya out of the house..'' Dadi was boiling in agitation. At first Anjali is shocked knowing about it but didn't reacted the way she had to.

''It's all happen due to that characterless girl khushi..What did she want? Property, power, wealth.. I don't understand how more low she could go in her greed. Not once she thought breaking her best friend engagement! How selfish is she! Such type of women should die in shame..''

''Dadi just calm down..'' Anjali gesture her to sit and extend plane glass of water. But she throw it away. She is getting hyper. From the time lavanya rang her and narrated how disgracefully Arnav thrown her out she is unable to control her temper. Her hatred for that khushi increased tenth-fold. Now she is very sure, she is using her illegitimate baby to grab Arnav.

''I know you're feeling bad about Lavanya but we cannot force Chotte to be with Lavanya. It was his decision and if he love khushi then I think we should respect his decision..''

''Are you out of your mind..'' She slammed her fist ruthlessly and got up.

''That girl don't deserve to be my Bahu..I will never permit this relation at any cost..'' She snapped.

''Dadi Please! Its not a time to talk about this. We should take a wise decision and get them married. After-all she is pregnant of chotte's child..Its heir of our family..''

''I'm very sure that child is not Arnav's. Such type of girls used men for pleasure and breed their sperm for their own advantage. That prostitute's child can never be heir of my family. And about Arnav. It was only his attraction not love. You will see very soon he would threw her out once he get bored of her.

''Stop it Dadi. Don't insult the relation of love calling it a lust...'' Everything rolled back in front of her eyes. Rishi's humiliation, his rejection, every single word uttered by him making her remember how she became victim of someone's lust. Just like Khushi.

''That bit** is a..''

''Enough is enough. Don't say a word against her. It is so easy for others to put accusation on a women when men are equally responsible...'' Dadi look at her surprisingly when she took stand for her.

She very well understand the pain of that innocent girl because she herself went through the same. Wiping her tears, she look back at dadi with determination.

For the first time Arnav have taken right decision and I'm very proud of my chotte. If he would have been married to Lavanya then that would be his biggest mistake and for that I shall have never forgiven him. It is very easy to spoil someone's life and destruct their dream. Those who rectify your mistake and accept their mistake that is called true love. And my chotte love khushiji. It was the fact. He realize his mistake and trying to mend it. You should support him instead of creating more problem in his life. I know lavanya is heartbroken but this pain is nothing to what khushi is suffering being a unwed mother and keeping a baby against all odds. I'm very sure Arnav will won his khushi because his love is true..'' She turned to walk and slightly turn.

''And yes this time it is not his attraction. He genuinely love her I have seen it into his eyes and I will be with him in each and every decision of his no matter what other feels or do..'' With that she left from there leaving behind stunned Dadi.

''Not under any circumstances I would permit Arnav to marry that filthy women. I have to do something to throw that girl out of my chotte's life..'' She thought something for a while and made a call. A sarcastic smile appeared on her face.

~~~

''Someone will come..please leave me..'' Khushi said uncomfortable as he is in no term to let's go of her.

''Why you always run away from your Arnav..''

''You are not my Arnav..'' She made some attempt to waved his hand off but his grip is stronger than ever..

''Don't go away from me..'' He is surprised of his own behavior. He have no idea what is wrong with him. He didn't feel like leaving her. On the other hand, khushi is afraid thinking about Arohi. She is still at home and khushi don't want Aru came to know anything about Arnav not at this stage when she had fixed her alliance with kartik. Things would get more complicated by then if it happens.

He was about to take off his hand when something stop him. He is feeling strange. He is restless. His heart is throbbing violently. On the other hand Aman command his men to target her.

Suddenly a small mole distract Arnav's attention. A mole that was too sexy and adorable to feel. He remember the time he continue to admire her beauty several nights when she went asleep under his arms. Her innocence always soften his heart. This strange attraction often frustrate him initially. He get angry upon himself getting so affected by her and make love to her to erase those feelings. But with time he fall more and more for her and the thought of taking revenge began fading away.

He took Khushi's love for granted and hurt her, insult her and throw her out of his life. But now he realize he was so wrong. Her love stir in his heart but he keep denying that fact.

''Remember khushi when I first caught your mole and teases you. You made several attempt to run away and hide under our bed-cover...'' He chuckled hugging her protectively and then without her recognition compose her dress properly.

''Our bed..?'' She asked bitterly.

He laughed recalling her crazy antics to get rid of embarrassment.

''I was only a piece of garbage for you as you never treat me like a human being..''

''Now don't start again..'' He kissed her cheeks sweetly and continue to pamper her with his unconditional kisses.

''I always loved you..''

''What a joke..''

''Look into my eyes. Do you still feel my love is fake?'' He wrapped his hand around her stomach and look at her seriously.

She pushed him away.

'Its better to die rather than being with you and bearing your torture..'' She said hurtfully and went near the window.

''Here she comes..'' Aman exclaimed as he saw her in his trigger point victoriously.

That's it her words broke his patience and Arnav again came back to his old self.

''Don't you dare Khushi kumari Gupta Singh Raizada..I love you got dammit can't you see that..'' He grabbed her arms.

''Shot her NOW..'' Goon let out huge sigh as he placed his finger on the gun point.

''I said shot..'' His hand were shivering to shot a pregnant lady. Aman gave him a punch and get hold of rifle. He cannot take a risk of delaying. He is determine to kill khushi and was about to trigger khushi but again Arnav block his direct sight to khushi.

''Not so easy Arnav Singh Raizada..Her death is ought to happen..I would put the end to your love story within few seconds..''

Before she show her stunt, Arnav twisted her both hands behind her back.

''Arnav you're hurting me..'' She is fidgeting in his grip. He wish to smack her lips and gave her punishment for uttering those words. How can say all that about herself? Her life is very precious to him. For her, he can go to any extend. He wouldn't let a single scratch on her.

''You have no right to hurt yourself because your life is mine now..''

''You can't force me to be with you..I don't want you in my life neither I love you..did you understand!!! She lashed out.

''That's what I hate mostly about you..Your rejection..'' She was about to back answer him when suddenly she get alerted hearing Arohi calling out for her.

''Move move..'' Aman muttered under his breathe hoping Arnav to move away who is standing in front of khushi.

''You are wasting your time Mr Raizada..your this kind of attitude not going to work on me..you cannot dominate me..''

''I won't mind if you dominate me in our NEXT TIME..'' He whispered seductively giving a long sexy kiss on her neck. He continue to suck her.

''Please Arnav just go..Aru is outside..'' She push him slightly in between her heavy breathe. At the same time glancing at the door.

On the other end, Aru is banging the door by getting no response from khushi. She is getting tensed. Thousands of unknown thought coming to her mind.

''Don't seduce me showing your lips..it might be very injurious for your health..'' Before she again start fighting he lifted her up into his arms and took her near the door. Her eyes widen in shock.

''Right now your husband is in full romantic mood..''

''No please No..''

''Why not..''

''Don't open the door..Please''

''Whenever you say please with your melodious voice I feel like to do exactly what i wanted to do..'' He smirked.

''This is not funny..''

''Why you're scared. I'm there to handle entire world. You just be with me like this always..'' He interlocked his hand with hers and kissed her finger.

''Let the world know how much you are important to me..I love you, khushi and no one dare to come between us not even my saali saheeba..'' He smirked with his gaze fixed at khushi.

''This is not a time to argue, go from here right now..'' She get down on the floor.

''Excuse me..you're ordering Arnav Singh Raizada..''

''Damn!'' Aman bang his fist by the disturbance created by Arnav again and again.

Without breaking eye contact, Arnav open the door and turn to hug her. He don't care who is looking at them and what could be the consequence. He only know that he love khushi and she is his first priority.

Door opens and Arohi peep in. She is about to call her Di but the sight in front of her eyes froze her in spot. A person is hugging her Di with his back facing her. That's it. The way he is hugging her it gave her confirmation who it could be. Finally the time has come when she will come face to face to that person.

''You bas*** who permit you in!'' She saw a man hugging her Di and khushi is hitting his chest to get rid of him. His back facing to her. Furiously Arohi rose from her position and headed to pull him away from touching her Di. But her legs glued at spot as soon as her eyes fell outside the window.

Aman counted under his breathe seeing Arnav move away from khushi. Shock would be understatement for Arohi to react. She is unable to decipher what is happening. A man targeting her Di.

Her blood stop to pump. A sudden fear rushed in her veins. She didn't look at Arnav for ones as her concentration completely focused to a shooter few inches away from them. She didn't understand what she should do. If she would be a second late she could actually lost her. She hurried her footsteps and close the window and rushed outside without giving a single glace at Arnav. At present her Di safety is more important for her.

''Who dare to hurt her?'' Her blood boils thinking about the shooter. She marched outside to catch him.

Khushi pushed him off her and inch back.

''Hey devimaiyya did Aru really sees us? But why she doesn't reacted? Khushi murmured assuming things. She is confused as well as tensed by her unpredictable behavior.

''That's great she's gone and left us to romance even more! Isn't it?'' Arnav smirked tugging her hair lock.

''Shut up Arnav Singh Raizada and get lost..'' He raised his eyebrow.

''Listen! You have done enough mess in my life. For god sake let me live in peace..'' Once she make sure Arohi is nowhere around, she took his hand and drag him toward main door.

''Leave!'' She turn to close the door instead he placed his hand in the door to stop her.

''You are forgetting you are coming office with me...'' She was about to open her mouth to refuse when he pull her into his arms and began marching out.

''Let me go..'' She poke her long nails on his skin.

''Ouch..''

Leave me!

''Gave me honor to pamper my pregnant wife..''

''How many times I had to tell you I'm not your wife..chodo hame..''

''Fasten your seat-belt first..'' He put her into his SUV and commanded her to do what he is saying.

Three.. two.. one!

Aman finally pull the trigger when he saw them coming out of the house. With a super fast speed, bullet escape against his shoulder. There was a complete silence. A silence before the storm. Aman felt a heavy burden would wash after khushi's death. His sister soul would rest in peace but it prove to be wrong when he raised his head and lift his eyes to look at the person who is laying on death bed.

Arohi..? Earth come down beneath his feet.

''Oh shit..'' He couldn't believe his eyes. She come in between khushi while they went away in a car. She winced in horrible pain.

Then he heard his own heartbeat getting tensed due to sudden pressure.

He left everything and ran as fast as possible to reach at the street. His heart skipped a beat. The crowd gathered around her. She is breathing with lot of difficulty. Seeing all this, he couldn't control his emotions.

''Why Arohi why you..??'' He is not in a situation to speak. He took her head in his lap and patted her cheeks to keep her awake.

''Open your eyes..'' Painful tears rolled down. He is getting hell scared.

''Why you did this..why always you come between my mission..''

Bec..au..se I lov..e m..y Di..''

''You should be happy I'm dying..Your enemy is dying..You hate me right?''

''No i don't hate you.I hate your sister not you..You are my-..'' He stopped saying further.

''You have to face me everytime you would dare to hurt her.. I will come to protect her till my last breat..h..ee..'' She smiled closing her eyes. Blood ooze out from her shoulder.

No!!!!!!! He get shaken with terror.

''My Di is my life..'' She mumbled.

''She don't deserve your love..You are very nice girl but she...You have no idea what she has done..''

Her heartbeat slow down. He shook his head and hurriedly rang the ambulance.

Nothing will happen to you..I promise..'' As soon as Ambulance reached the premise, he took her inside the van and it drove toward the nearest hospital.

~~~

''Arnav where you're you talking me..this is not the route to your office..'' She asked with frown brow.

''Have patience Jaan..'' Finally her doubt began to rise when they reached at a lonely place far away from their destination.

''Where are we..?''

''In heaven..''

''Let's go..'' He offered her hand like a true gentleman. But she kept sitting in her place, fighting her ownself. When she didn't gave her hand, he held her hand and jerk her from the seat.

He pull her closer so close until her breathe stop to pump due to hyperventilation.

''Asr you..'' He placed his finger on her lips and look into her eyes with deadly emotions.

''Happy First anniversary khushi..'' Her legs wobble. His strong arm grabbed her waist, holding her securely. A beautiful smile curved his lips remembering the beautiful day when their love started to bloom.

Past memories came back into her eyes. It was the same day when he proposed her for marriage and they accepted their feelings for each other. A day that proved to be her biggest mistake she ever committed keeping all her moral values aside. At that time if she would have a slight idea she pay such a big price for trusting him then she never fall in love with him. All her dreams shattered in one instant leaving her with nothing. She scream, fight, beg him but he didn't gave her mercy and left her at a time when his love growing in her womb. But now he meant nothing for her. She learn to live alone. Why he wanted her back? Just because he came to know she is carrying his baby so that he can snatch only happiness that is the reason of her survival. No! Never!

She was so engrossed recalling past memories didn't realize when she been guide in the middle of the open area. He arranged a special date for his lady love for this special occasion. He did everything to bring smile on her face. He had a hope it will undo his mistakes and probably it may melt her.

By getting no reaction, he took her face between his palm and try to read her mind. Her eyes were closed. She don't want to remember that moment. It pierced her. She was in the arms of a man she loathed mostly.

''Look at me..'' Slowly, she open her eyes and gaze him. Pulling his hand off, she move backward. She is getting pissed off now. Just when she was about to say something, she noticed the entire venue with surprise expression.

What you want to prove doing all this? These useless flowers, roses, decoration cannot replace the wounds given by you..I will never forget the night when you and lavany-..

''Khushi that was your misunderstanding..I have no relation with her..Trust me!''

''Trust you?'' She laughed.

''You sleep around with girls every other day and expecting me to forgive you...'' His clenched his fist.

''That's not true. From the time you came to my life I never been with any girl..They were my past and you are my present..You and our baby are family..I left my every bad habits and wanted to start my new life with you''

''We can never be part of your life..'' Her rejection become indigestible for him.

''And who are you to decide..'' He try to be polite with her but his anger always worsen the situation.

''I'm his mother and after my delivery I will go far away from this city. Never in the life I would allow you to touch my baby..''

''You cannot keep my baby away from me..'' With greeted teeth.

''You are mine..''

''Apki isi zidd ne hamare zindagi ko khel banake rakha hain..nafrat karte hain hum apse aur apke har ehsas se..'' (Your his kind of attitude made my life a game..i hate you and every emotion that is connected to you) His heart constricted with pain.

''I'm going..'' With a sudden reflex action, she been again pull back under his grip.

''Not so easy to get rid of me..'' She try to push his hand away but it didn't budge him.

''You will not leave me till I die..'' His voice intimidating and low.

''Then I will pray to devimaiya you would die sooner and I and my baby get safe from a monster..''

He stopped hearing that and left her hand instantly.

''Itni nafrat karti ho mujhse..?'' (You hate me this much) His voice choked.

''Apne hame is layak hi nahi choda ki hum apse dubara pyaar kar sake..jiteji maar dala hame..'' (You haven't left me liable that I able to love you anymore..you kill me)

''Okay then from now I will not come in front of you..You are free to go anywhere and live your life with whoever you want..'' He said and commanded his driver to drop her home.

She failed to understand him. She stare him continuously as if she heard something wrong.

''You can leave now..'' He repeated as he turn his back toward her.

Slowly, she walking away from him. In between she keep turning to see him. But he is standing straight with his eyes looking at the open space. She could feel weird not believing he left her so easily.

As she is taking her step out of her hotel, her inside is aching with pain. She clutched her belly as her baby is craving for her father love. But she continue to walk irrespective of pain or cramps. She need to get away from that beast's place at any cost. She decided in her mind and waited for taxi crossing the road.

Asr's driver asked her to seat inside as per instruction but she refused and raised her hand toward left to stop taxi. No way she is going to take help from Asr.

Little master gave an angry pout.

''No this couldn't be the end of my Mumma-Papa love story..'' Baby sobbed dramatically and kicked his Mumma angrily like a punching bag.
