Part 22

Vidya sat on the couch, hitting her own forehead.

Vidya: What can we do now?

Reshma: We shouldn't have agreed to Asha. Because of her, we have lost our house.

Vidya: Yes... as Arnav signed the documents, we would have got our house easily. We spoilt it.

They stood squeezing their hands.

Vidya: Seeing his extreme wrath, I thought, he throw Khushi out of his house and we will get two crore from Asha. It seems he won't let her go from him...

Reshma: That's what I'm also thinking. He is mad it seems...

Vidya: We have no other choice than get Khushi's help. We have to get the house from her.

Reshma: I don't think so because Arnav registered the house on his name already.

Vidya: Haaannn... you are right.

Reshma: Let's see what Khushi's final decision.

Malik Residence

Asha jerked hearing "Ashshaaaaaaaa" in Arnav's voice. The coffee cup slipped from her hand when she jerked. Arvind and Tina rushed from their respective rooms to the living room. They saw Arnav storming towards Asha. It was not hard for them to understand that Asha had done something horrible. Asha's face became pallid, seeing Arnav's wrath. She stood shivering as Vidya already told that Arnav got to know about the documents. This is the first time, Arnav meeting her face to face. He never gave heed to her like he does right now.

As no one expected, Arnav tangled Asha's neck. Arvind panicked like hell. He took a step to come to them; Tina stopped him by clutching his hand. He looked at her shockingly as she nodded NO.

Arnav: I promised my mother that I won't hit any woman but I didn't promise her not to KILL (he stressed) any woman. Don't make me a murderer. I won't mind to kill you if you dare to separate MY KHUSHI from me.

Arvind and Tina shocked to the core. Asha started to cough. Arnav's gritted his teeth, hearing "Chotte" from Arvind.

Arvind: Chotte, please don't spoil your life by killing her. Khushi is there for you... Please leave her.

He pushed Asha on the coach. She caressed her neck while coughing.

Arvind(roaring): I warn you, don't interfere in my life. If you dare do that I will destroy you all....

Arvind: What happened Chotte?

Arnav: She got mine and my wife's signature in the divorce papers without our knowledge.... you made me orphan... I tolerated it for my Mom. Because of you, I have lost my mother... (He roared while Arvind bowed down) I never interfered in your life ever for my mother's sake but not anymore. She had waked the beast up in me. (Looking at Asha, he flicked his fingers) count your days... Asha Malik... you are going to see the hell on the earth.

Arnav came out of the residence all the way breaking things by pushing and kicking. Arvind clutched Asha's shoulders and lifted her from the couch. He slapped her hard and she again fell on the couch.

Arvind: What do you think of me? Why the hell you are pestering Chotte? What will you get making him suffer?

Asha: It's because of you... did he ask your properties? He is not at all respecting you... then why the hell you gave your properties to him?

Arvind: He is my son.... And who are you to ask my property? (pause) you want my property right... wait... you are going to see, how much he is going to give you... get ready to eat...

A trace of fear made Asha's face darker. Asha raised her face and saw Tina looking at her loath fully.

RM

With brimming eyes, Vidya was pleading Khushi.

Vidya: Beta, we did wrong. Please forgive us. Where will we go? How will we eat?

Khushi: Why Amma... why are you bothering? Within a few days, you have got many friends here...

Vidya understood that she is talking about Asha.

Khushi: Arnavji was right. You are so intelligent. You can influence anyone here. I don't have that much cleverness as you do. In fact, it's me... who lost everything. You made Arnavji hate me. I have lost his trust. I can't even have the right to talk to him. Before he gets angry please leave OUR house.

Saying she went to her room, not giving them choice to talk more.

......

Khushi was so much delighted as Arnav registered her father's house on his name. That means he won't leave her side. He will be connected to her forever. He is willing to be Shashi Gupta's son-in-law. She got hope of getting his TRUST back. She smiled with happy tears.

Khushi saw Arnav coming back. Of course, angry was bubbling in his eyes. He got stuck seeing her smiling at him. His anger cooled down in a jiffy, seeing her smile. He went to his room with a stern expression. Before Arnav locked the door, Khushi rushed inside the room and sat on the bed. Arnav got baffled seeing that. He understood that she is up to something. He made himself up for the impact.

Arnav: what are you doing here?

Khushi (gathering courage): I'm going to stay in your room from hereon.

Arnav: Whaaat the hell....

Khushi: Because this is my husband's room.

Arnav (folding his hands): What drama is this Khushi?

Khushi: This is not drama.

Arnav: Don't make me angry, get out.

Khushi: No... I won't...

Arnav: Don't force me to push you out...

He thought she will cry but he stunned by her reply.

Khushi: Try if you can...

Arnav looked at her like "Ohh really?" he advanced her faking an angry glare. He bent down towards her to clutch her hand.

Arnav: What do you think...?

Khushi (cutting him): Your eyes are so expressive.

Arnav got stuck like, what the...

Khushi: your eyes are enough to know your state of mind... anger, sorrow, fear, everything is shown by those. Now also you are trying to show anger but you are really not. (he gulped. Of course, he is not really angry with her)

Arnav: What are you trying to prove Khushi?

Khushi: I don't have to prove anything Arnavji. You will trust me if I remain myself.

Arnav straightened himself. Khushi clutched his hand.

Khushi: Let me be here... I won't disturb you. (pinching her neck) Sachchi... (It's true)

Arnav: You told, I will trust you if you remain yourself. Then do it. Be yourself, Khushi kumara Gupta...

Khushi (cutting him): ...Singh Raizada... (Arnav was speechless) that's what I'm and I would like to be not only Khushi kumari Gupta but also Singh Raizada.

Arnav looked at her astonishingly. He adored her brave and fighting spirit. He became greedy to see the extent of her spirit.

He held her hand and about to drag her out, Khushi shrugged his hand off and hugged him tightly giving him a shock. As Arnav didn't expect this kind of action, he stood like a statue. Taking a while, he made-up himself. He tried to take her hands off him which were circling him tightly.

Arnav: Khushi... don't behave like a child...

Khushi (raising her head): I'm not behaving like a child. Sachiiii...

Arnav(rolling his eyes): Leave me...

Khushi: Never....

Arnav: How long will you stay like this...?

Khushi's reply shook him.

Khushi: Till my last breath... for my entire life...

Without saying anything, Arnav tried to take her hand again. But he couldn't. Of course, he could take her hands if he really wants her to go away from him. After all, she is his Khushi. How would he send her out?

Arnav: Why are you doing this?

Khushi: Allow me to stay here Arnavji.

Arnav: Why? Why Khushi... is there anything remaining to hurt me?

Khushi: Arnavji... I agree I hurt you but I didn't intend. Trust me.

She broke the hug and cupped his face.

Khushi: please give me a chance to earn your trust Arnavji...

Arnav closed his eyes couldn't stand her plead. She pressed his shoulders and made him sit on the recliner.

Khushi: I won't cheat on you, having your mother's heart Arnavji...

As Arnav didn't expect, she circled his face close to her chest, making him hear her heartbeat. Arnav's eyes brimmed instantly. He closed his eyes letting the tears roll down on his cheek. He badly wanted to hug Khushi as tight as possible. But he stayed fisting his fingers. He was not set to give up easily. He wanted her in his life. He wanted her to work hard to prove herself. He wanted to be important to Khushi... more than anyone... and only one....

He knows the Truth

Arnav was in Khushi's arm circle, hearing her heartbeat. Breaking the hug, Arnav left the room. He needs time to decide about Khushi. He always prefers a LONG DRIVE. He rode the car, without putting AC, taking fresh air.

Life has no rewind button. But... unfortunately, our mind has... it rewinds all the happenings of our lives often. Sometimes, it makes us smile and sometimes it makes us cry. It depends on our FORTUNE.
