Part 17 (Long Update) 

In the Kitchen

Uditha looked at Khushi whose face hung.

Udi: What happened? You look sad?

Khushi: Amma and Reshma are here.

Udi: Have they reached?

Khushi nodded yes.

Udi: But... you should be happy as you are the one who gave them an address?

Khushi: Don't know why I feel like, something bad is going to happen.

Udi: Arrey, Why are you confusing yourself? Be relaxed. What do you want? Tell me... I will do.

Khushi: They are hungry.

Udi: Ok. I and HP will serve them. Ok?

Khushi: I will also come with you.

Udi: Ok...

Taking a dhal bowl, she went to the dinning. Uditha slowed down her steps and whispered to HP.

Udi: Hp... listen, we have to be careful. Keep your eyes on them.

HP: Jee...

Udi: Let me know if you feel anything wired.

HP: Ok...

They went to the Dinning, following Khushi. Uditha kept the Rottis on the table and left the place. She stood in the distance in which she could hear them.

Khushi served them and sat in front of Vidya.

Vidya (eating): Are you really happy Khushi?

Khushi: Jee Amma. I'm really happy.

Vidya: Thank God.

Khushi: You also can stay with me Amma.

For a fraction of second, Vidya's mind got stuck. Reshma's face also radiated. She will get chance to trap Arnav if she stays here. Won't she?

Vidya: It won't be good. After all, this is your husband's house.

Khushi: You don't have to think about people. Arnavji will agree to me if I ask him.

She said confidently which poured oil in their jealous fire.

Vidya: It seems, you have started your marriage life?

Khushi nodded NO blushing, bowing down. Reshma huffed in relief. Thank God, they haven't started their marriage life yet? She hopped inwardly as they have already put fire in Arnav's mind about Khushi.

Vidya: Did you talk to him about selling our house?

Khushi: Amma, Arnavji will sign the paper for sure.

Vidya: Really? That's great.

Reshma: Then ask him.

Khushi: I will ask him right away.

Reshma: Arrey, not now. We just arrived. Ask him later. Now, be with us.

Khushi nodded ok.

....

Uditha was going to Arnav's room to give him juice as HP went to the market. Reshma blocked her way.

Reshma: Give it to me.

She was in full swing to trap Arnav.

Udi: This is for ASR. You can get it from the Kitchen.

Reshma: I will give it to him...

Udi: But...

Reshma(cutting her): You are servant here. You have to listen to me.

Actually, Uditha wanted to warn her about Arnav's hatred towards girls but seeing her haughtiness, she gave the juice glass silently. Who could save the person who is being chased by KARMA? Let her enter into the LION's den.

Uditha smiled inwardly.

Arnav was sitting in his room. Nothing seemed good for him. Everything was irritating him. He lifted his head hearing sound. He frowned seeing Reshma with a juice glass.

Reshma: Is this your room?

Arnav was silent.

Reshma: Looking neat and classy just like you.

She smiled greasily.

Arnav's expression became stern.

Arnav: What are you doing here?

She extended the juice glass. Without giving heed to it,

Arnav: Who asked you to bring it?

She kept the juice glass on the tea table.

Reshma: None... I myself came to meet you. (extending her hand) I'm Reshma.

Arnav folded his hand and raised his left eyebrow like "so?"

Reshma put her hand down gulping.

Reshma: Actually, when I say you for the first time, I instantly had fallen for you. I felt heartbreak when you married to Khushi. I can't understand how you choose her over me who is looking more beautiful and sexier than Khushi.

She said shamelessly. Arnav shrank his eyes.

Reshma: From the time I saw you, I couldn't sleep you know.

She came close to him extending her hand to touch him. Before that, Arnav stood from the recliner.

She heard... "OUT"

Reshma(frowning): What?

Arnav (gritting his teeth): I said GET OOOUUUUT....

He shouted.

Reshma (jerking): You don't have to worry about Khushi....

Arnav clutched her nape and pushed her away.

Arnav: Dare you... enter my room... I will kill you.

Reshma: Listen to me....

Arnav kicked the tea table wrathfully. The juice glass which she kept on it fell down and broke. Reshma became horrified.

Arnav: Get the hell out of my room....

He yelled...

She ran out of his room to save her life. She panted hard standing in the living room.

Reshma was furious. Is he mad? He is the first man who behaved with her like this. She doesn't know what made Arnav fall for Khushi. Let it be anything. Everything will get over. He has to pay for insulting me. She thought.

Uditha (controlling her laugh): Do you want water?

Reshma glared at her.

Uditha: Ohh you want juice?

Khushi rushed to them, hearing Arnav's shout.

Khushi: What happened? Why Arnavji shouted?

Udi: Actually...

Reshma(cutting her): He didn't like the juice as it had very less sugar.

Khushi: Ohh...

Udi: Sugar? But ASR is a diabetic...

This is new for Khushi too. She looked at her widening her eyes.

Khushi: Is Arnavji a diabetic?

Udi: Yes... don't you know?

Khushi nodded NO sadly.

Khushi: Then why did he shout for sugar?

Udi: You have to ask ASR...

Reshma: No no... he seemed very angry. Don't go now. He may hit you.

Khushi: Arnavji won't hit girls...

She uttered instantly.

Reshma: Ohh... he looked messy.

Khushi: Let me ask him what...

Reshma: Please Khushi, listen to me. Just come with me...

Reshma dragged Khushi with her leaving thoughtful Uditha.

.....

Uditha called Aman.

Aman: Yeah...

Uditha: Poisonous snakes are in RM.

Aman: What? Snakes?

Udi: I mean Vidya and Resham

Aman: Did they reach?

Udi: Yeah... in no time that Reshma started her filthy act of trapping ASR.

Aman(laughing): Poor girl...

Udi: It's not funny. Ok?

Aman: It is ... absolutely it is... No girl on the Earth could trap ASR... and definitely not after Khushi's arrival in his life...

Udi(sadly): Do you know how happily ASR went to the temple with Khushi? Their faces lost charms seeing these wicked women.

Aman: Listen... don't update anything about them to ASR but me.

Udi: But why? ASR wants me to update everything...

Aman: About only Khushi....

Udi: What if I update about them?

Aman: Let's see what Khushi's stance is, how she is going to handle them...

Uditha got irritated by his idea.

Udi: Ok... I cut the call, Khushi is coming.

She cut the call lying as she didn't want to hear more orders from Aman regarding.

Late evening

Reshma saw HP preparing black coffee.

Reshma: for whom you are preparing this?

HP: for Arnav baba...

Reshma: At this time?

HP: He asked me... so, I'm preparing.

Reshma: Ohh... actually I came here to ask you BALM. My head is aching.

HP: It's in the living room table.

Reshma: Please will you give me?

HP nodded yes and went to the living room. She mixed sleeping pill powder in it. She saw HP coming. She started filling water in the glass and drank. HP handed her the balm.

Reshma: Thank you, Hari Prakash Ji.

She left the kitchen. The main section of their plan will be done by HP, Reshma hoped inwardly. She saw HP going towards Arnav's room with a coffee cup. She huffed in relief. In a few minutes, Arnav will sleep. Before that, she has to execute her plan. She rushed to her room.

Khushi was with Vidya. She was witnessing Arnav's room door was being closed after vidya and Reshma's arrival. She somewhat understood Arnav was not comfortable. He didn't even come out for the launch. Vidya and Reshma were keeping her engaged with them. She didn't even get time to visit him. She was restless. She saw Reshma coming. Reshma took the documents out and gave it to Khushi.

Reshma: I think you can get his signature now.

Khushi readily agreed as she was waiting to meet him.

Reshma: I will be waiting. Don't take much time. Come out when he signed the papers.

Khushi nodded ok and went to Arnav's room.

Reshma was happy. Arnav will sleep soon after signing the papers. There is a chance for them to be close after signing the papers. But now, there won't be any chance of touching Khushi as he will sleep soon. After today, Arnav won't like to touch Khushi for sure. Because Asha will implement the plan at any cost. This is the punishment of insulting Reshma. She felt delighted.

.....

Hari Prakash was getting out of Arnav's room with the EMPTY coffee cup. Reshma's eyes sparkled seeing that. So, Arnav drank the coffee. At the same time, Khushi got into Arnav's room. Reshma sat on the couch, in a few minutes; Khushi will be out with the signed documents.

Arnav looked at Khushi getting amazed. Is Khushi here? He saw papers in her hand. Somewhat, he guessed why she is there. This is "Examination Time" he supposed. Next second, his lips spilled a teasing smile. Arnav leaned back on the recliner folding his hands.

Arnav: What made you come to my room?

Khushi felt a "different" in his tone.

Khushi (stammering): ohhh... I want something from you.

Arnav: That's it... Say it at first. People remember the person only if they need something.

Undoubtedly it pricked Khushi. Why he is talking this way? She gulped.

Khushi: I was with Amma and Reshma...

Arnav: Yeah... I know... Tell me, what do you want?

Khushi (showing the documents): I want your signature in these documents. So, my Amma will sell the property and do Reshma's marriage.

Arnav (teasingly): What do you think? Is Arnav Singh Raizada's signature a BRINJAL that you can get it easily?

Khushi got awe-struck for a while. She made herself up.

Khushi: I'm not asking Arnav Singh Raizada's signature but my husband's signature because I have the right to do so.

Arnav was looking at her with a daggered gaze as she spoke about RIGHTS.

Khushi: Please sign it. Without your signature, Amma can't sell the house and you know that.

She extended the document.

Arnav: your Amma will sell the property and your sister will get married. But what I will get if I sign the documents?

It was exactly a demand. As Khushi didn't expect this kind of DEAL, she was perplexed.

Khushi: Is it a business?

Arnav: Nope. Certainly not... if you can ask me with RIGHTS, I too have RIGHTS to ask my WIFE what I want. Am I right?

Khushi: You can ask me anything.

She said politely.

Arnav: Really?

Khushi nodded yes.

Arnav: You know what I want.

He said looking at BED. Khushi gulped.

Arnav: What else would I ask? Sleep with me... What say?

Khushi looked at him who looked totally different from what she saw in the morning. He is asking her to sleep with him, the man who didn't show interest to kiss her in the morning. What happened to him suddenly? Maybe, Vidya and Reshma's presence made him feel unsecured. She made up herself. He wants her to SLEEP with him. What harm if she sleeps with him? After all, he is her husband.

Khushi (looking down): ok...

Arnav's shock was not estimated. He didn't expect that she would agree to "IT" so easily. He asked her again.

Arnav: I can't hear you...

Khushi: I'm...I'm ready...

Arnav (smirking): Do you understand what I ask for?

Khushi shook her head bowing down.

Arnav: Are you sure....?

Khushi: Jee...

Arnav Singh Raizada felt a kind of nervousness, seeing her not nervous. Is suspecting Khushi wrong? His intention was definitely not to have her on his bed. It was his TEST to TEST Khushi. Undoubtedly she has passed. He didn't think anything more. This night will be his. That's what to be concentrated.

He took the documents from her hand and looked at it. There... he saw Khushi's signature on it. He took his pen out and signed the documents, not taking his eyes off Khushi who was looking down. He didn't even see the papers. Khushi sighed in relief. She extended her hand to take the papers. Arnav pulled it back.

Arnav: Your document is ready. You will get it only after I got what I want.

He kept the papers under the laptop and stood. Khushi's heart started beating faster. He came close to her. Khushi's gaze was glued on the floor. Arnav gathered her in his arms. Now, Khushi's eyes got fixed on his face in which there was full of passion.

Next update on Inkitt

My Mom's Heart

Reshma's nervousness rose into no limit. She was looking at the wall clock again and again. Ten minutes have already passed. Khushi hasn't come out of Arnav's room yet. Why? Don't know what's happening inside. She was pacing here and there, squeezing her hands.
