Part 34 Treat

Khushi was in the kitchen and was so absorbed in the work that she didn't even notice a man approaching her until he spoke.

"In which world you are dancing for a duet song with Arnav?" Suman teased.

Khushi looked at him and Suman found her restless.

"Anything wrong?" he asked.

Khushi nodded yes.

"I have done a biggest blunter, Sumi," she said agitated.

"What are you talking about, Khushi?"

"I have declared my love for Arnav in public," She said biting her nail nervously.

Suman gazed at her for a while and chuckled unbelievably.

"How did that good thing happen all of a sudden?"

"Sheetal got to know about my relationship with Arnav. She came to school and insulted me, connecting me with Arnav... I lashed her left to right" she sighed.

"You should feel good for doing such a thing, Khushi..."

"I don't know from where I got courage..."

"Thank God, you got the courage"

"Don't know what Arnav thinks of me"

"He would be flying in an alien world..." he chuckled.

"Sheetal is damn angry with me. She said that straight to me"

"She would be... by the way, what was the other's reaction?"

"They were shocked... and, the truth about you also revealed..." Khushi said hesitating.

Suman got stuck for a few seconds and huffed.

"Finally..."

"Are you upset with me?"

"No... I'm feeling revealed. From here on, I don't have to hide myself... I have to face the reality of my life... no compulsion... no conditions..." Suman said feeling relieved.

"But, you have to face the terrible world, Sumi"

"Let me face it... as Arnav said..."

Khushi sighed.

"I don't know where will this lead us"

"It will lead us to our destination" Suman smiled.

Khushi shook her head from left to right.

"Let me prepare dinner" Khushi walked to the kitchen.

Suman stopped her.

"Wait, Khushi"

"Whaaat?"

"Let's have dinner outside today"

"Outside? But why?"

"We are going to celebrate your declaration..."

"Whaaaat?"

"Yes, don't you want to celebrate it?"

Khushi looked at him, making a face.

"Relax, baby..."

"Feel the seriousness Sumi... Sheetal is a dangerous woman... she won't mind doing anything to stop our marriage"

"Oh... so you are worrying about your marriage....?" He teased.

Khushi glared at him.

"It's not wrong if you are worried about your marriage. After all, he is your Arnav and you guys missed each other for more than five years..."

"I'm scared, Sumi"

"Do you remember what you always say to cheer me up?"

Khushi looked at him and said nothing.

"Everything is already destined. We can't change it. Instead of getting worried about what already happened, we should think about how to handle the problem that is coming into our way"

Khushi was silent. Suman removed his phone and called Arnav. He attended the call with a smile.

"Congratulations, Arnav"

"For?" Arnav asked smiling even though he knew the reason.

"I can say you are smiling"

"So?"

"So, you know why I congratulated you"

"Come on, Sumi... don't beat around the bush"

"I heard Khushi declared her love for you publically..."

"It was even a surprise for me... I didn't expect she would handle Sheetal that way... Bravo..."

"Bravo...? She is scared"

"Why?"

"Thinking about Sheetal... she will try to stop your marriage"

"she can do nothing. I will take care of her"

"You too be careful, Arnav"

"I will be... take care of Khushi"

"Nothing will happen to her until I'm alive. Don't worry"

"You too should live fit and fine... that's what makes us happy. Don't forget that"

Suman smiled.

"We are going out for dinner"

"Oh... but why? You both are good cooks after all..."

"We are going to celebrate Khushi's daring wedding declaration"

"Haha... that's so nice of you. Whose treat?"

"Mine of course..."

"Enjoy"

"Won't you come?"

"Do you want me to come?"

"Of course, why doubt? You are the HERO of the declaration..."

"Ok, I will come..."

"Bring Khushi, baby, too"

"Ok..."

"She will be my company. I don't want to be left alone"

"Shut up man" Arnav smiled.

"Will be waiting for you at Hotel White Palace"

"Will be there at 7o' clock sharp"

"Yup," Suman disconnected the call and looked at Khushi who was gazing at him.

"Is it necessary to invite Arnav?"

"Is not it?"

"We are already in a problem. Why are you making it critical?"

"However, it could not be simplified. Then, why would we sacrifice our happiness?"

Khushi looked at him not smiling.

"Don't be moody... go and get ready... your HERO is coming. The hotel white palace is a little away from the city. We have to reach there on time"

"Why did you choose the hotel?"

"I heard, the place remains calm"

Khushi nodded ok and went to her room to get ready.

Khushi and Suman started to the white palace by bike. When they came near the area, a few men zoomed towards their bike and blocked their way. Suman pressed the brake and stopped the bike.

"Who are you? What do you want? Why are you blocking our way?" Suman asked.

The men removed dangerous weapons, making them horrified. Khushi and Suman looked at each other shockingly.

"Hey... if you are not capable to maintain this chick, you should have called us... we will take care of her" One of them said.

Suman gritted his teeth.

"I have already called someone... who is a real MAN... he will take care of her," Suman said.

"Why? Don't we look like MEN?" One of them asked.

"Let him show, practically" Another one said.

"Take her with us... she will tell him, what kind of MEN we are," another taunted.

"How dare you think of marrying Sheetal Madam's husband? What do you think, you can live with her husband after deceiving her? We are here to show you, what will happen if you mess with Sheetal madam"

"How could they see, if they die?" the second one said.

"Yeah... before dying, we will give a little demonstration about HELL..."

One among them advanced Khushi who looked at him tightening her jaws. He extended his hand to touch her, but a strong punch made his jaw collapse in no time. They were shocked, as the punch giver was none other than Suman.

Two more men ran towards him with knives. Before they got close to them, Suman took steps forward and beat them black and blue. That was unexpected. Khushi stood fearlessly, looking at the fight. Within a few minutes, all of them fell down with blood clots.

"What do you think, a person like me will cry, getting beaten up?" Suman asked punching them.

They looked at him as if he was from another planet.

"I'm a brown belt in Karate... A person like me would also be skilled in self-defense. Go and tell your Sheetal ma'am that she could do nothing. Tell her, 'Arnav and Khushi's wedding will take place soon" Suman kicked them hard.

They ran away from there.

"Didn't I say, she won't be quiet?" Khushi said.

"Trust me, I will find a solution to this problem" Suman walked with Khushi to his bike.
