Part 37 culprits

Khushi hugged Arnav emotionally. Arnav reciprocated to her hug. He understood what she in undergoing.

"Khushi, don't worry...it's all over..."

"Why people are so cheap? Why they go to this extent?"

"It does nothing with you Khushi...it's all about their character...we no need to talk or think about it...ok?"

She nodded ok.

"I have spoken to Nishan. We can do rehearsal later..."

Khushi nodded ok.

"Shall we go or shall we watch the rehearsal?"

"No... we will watch the rehearsal."

Arnav nodded ok and they sat there. NK came there with juice. Taking it from his hand, Arnav gave it to Khushi.

"Have it..." he gave it to here.

Without denying it, she had it. NK sat with them and started countering people in the auditorium. Khushi smiled at his jokes. Seeing her smiling, Arnav joined hands with NK. As expected, he saw Khushi getting relaxed slowly. In an hour she was ready for the rehearsal.

Arnav and Khushi finished their session and got a very big round of applause. The program organizing team confidently believed that their song will be the highlight of the program.

Arnav and Khushi left the program hall.

"Arnav, drop me home" Khushi said.

"Mmm..." he said driving the car.

In the meanwhile

Rohit was on the call with Akanksha.

"I have made all the arrangements to finish their chapter." He said proudly.

"My goodness.... Really?"

"Yeah... just now I have given final order..."

"You are great Rohit... I will pay the remaining amount after our plan succeeded. I want Arnav and Khushi to die"

"Make the amount ready..." Rohit said laughingly.

"Sure... I will do it gladly." Akanksha said happily.

They disconnected the call with excitement.

......

Khushi looked at him surprisingly when he didn't take diversion towards her home.

"Where are we going?"

"Home..."

"Are you taking me to RM?"

Arnav nodded yes.

"But, Arnav, we have shooting tomorrow."

"We will go to the shooting spot from RM."

"But..."

"No IFs and BUTs... you are going to stay with us, that's all"

Khushi sighed.

"I have already informed mom. She is waiting for you."

As Arnav said, Ratna was waiting for them. She also was tensed, hearing what happened in the auditorium. She hugged Khushi emotionally.

"Thank God, you guys are safe..."

Breaking the hug, she kissed Khushi's forehead.

"Come, eat something..." Ratna said.

"Mom, let her get fresh..."

"Go...no need... she must be hungry after the rehearsal... come beta..." She took Khushi to the dining table.

Arnav rolled his eyes and followed them. Arnav amazed, seeing the eatables have been brought from the shop. Of course, in the tension, Ratna was not able to cook anything. She served RAS MALAI and KACHORI to Khushi.

"Have it...Almond Halwa, Cashew pakore, and Ras Gola are also here..."

"Aunty, are you planning to make me fat?" Khushi asked teasingly.

Ratna and Arnav laughed at her.

"As if you are in the diet control..? Mom...she never been in diet control you know?" Arnav said laughingly.

"Really Khushi?"

Khushi nodded yes.

"You are so lucky, Khushi... you are not gaining weight and staying slim..."

"Aunty, I eat well but do exercise regularly."

"That's good... you can do exercise with Chotte after marriage," Ratna said.

"Yeah... you are right...she will do exercise with me after the marriage..." Arnav said, smiling at Khushi contently, remembering her about the PUSH UPS.

Khushi nodded NO, looking at him, widening her eyes. Arnav chuckled at her. Ratna lifted her brows, shrinking her eyes thoughtfully.

"You can do exercise even now. I have no problem." Ratna said teasingly.

"Nothing like that aunty..." Khushi said embarrassingly.

"Ok ok... relax. I don't ask you anything."

Khushi smiled.

"Chotte, take Khushi to the guest room."

"Yeah... let's go, Khushi."

Khushi nodded yes and followed him. He settled her in the guest room.

"Don't feel sad for not staying in my room..." he teased.

Khushi punched his stomach.

"You will be in my room very soon."

"I'm not longing for it..." she said with attitude.

"Oh... really?"

She nodded yes. He pulled her towards him and circled her waist.

"Are not you longing to be with me?"

She nodded NO looking somewhere.

"Look at my face and say..." he said smirking.

"Don't you know?" she asked fiddling with his button.

"You said NO..."

Khushi shook his face left to right, pinching his cheek.

"I love you and I so want to be with you."

She leaned on his chest.

"Arnav..."

"Mmmm"

"What if they try to kill us again?" she asked in a feeble tone.

"They can't," he said confidently.

"How do you say?" she asked looking at him, raising her face.

"They are going to be arrested. Police will take care of them"

She hugged him again.

"Don't worry... no one can separate us. Arnav and Khushi will be together always"

Khushi snuggled into his chest more.

......

Akanksha was horrified, seeing police in her place.

"What do you want, inspector?"

"As you are planning to kill Arnav sir and Khushi madam, you are under arrest."

"No... you are mistaken..." she said nervously.

"We have proof..."

"Proof...?"

"Yes, we recorded you and Rohit's conversation."

Akanksha was thunderstruck. She never thought this matter will take a horrible turn like this.

"No sir... it's his plan..."

"Plan maybe his...but the financier of the plan is you...right?"

"No, sir."

"You can say anything in the court and you can even prove yours innocence. Now... come with us."

"Sir, please... listen to me... we can talk... please free me from this case..." She tried to bribe him.

The inspector smirked.

"Let them in..." he ordered to the constable.

The constable went out and called the people who were waiting outside. In no time, a few reporters entered in and started clicking photos of Akanksha. She tried to go inside the room. A lady constable stopped her and pulled her back.

"Don't make us hand-cuff you, madam" The inspector warned her.

They took her to the commissioner office. When she entered there, she saw Rohit sitting with his face hung. She gritted her teeth, seeing him as she understood that there is no way to come out of the case anymore.

They spoilt their own life because of jealous. They could have led their life if they had satisfaction. But they didn't have satisfied with what they had... and they were facing the consequence.

Anyhow... our Arshi is going to be without their trouble from here on.
