Part9 

Arnav stopped the car in front of the temple. Khushi got down from the car and went inside. He didn't talk a single word after Khushi uttered about killing herself. That was a "life-threatening" for Arnav Singh Raizada. He was scared to death. Is he that cruel, a girl prefers death rather than accept him as her husband? He doesn't want to lose her... He couldn't. He took out his mobile and dialed Aman. He attended it right away.

Aman: Yes ASR...

Arnav: I want a girl to look after Khushi.

Aman: Look After Khushi?

Arnav: Yes, she should be like her friend and caretaker. She should be with Khushi for 24*7, like her shadow. Understood?

Aman: Yes ASR...

Arnav: She must be loyal to me. She has to update everything to me like a detective. And Khushi shouldn't know about it.

Aman understood that Arnav wants to watch Khushi.

Aman: Yes ASR...

Arnav disconnected the call. Aman dialed a number. A girl attended it.

"Hi Aman"

Aman: Hi Uditha....

Uditha: Hi, how is London?

Aman: Who knows?

Uditha: Are not you in London?

Aman: Nope. I'm in India.

Uditha: When did you come? How did your ASR let you go to India?

Aman: He didn't let me go but brought me with him.

Uditha: Ohh... is he here? But how? You said he won't come to India? Didn't he get his mother's letter or what?

Aman: His mother had expired yaar...

Uditha: Ohh God... I'm sorry.

Aman: It's ok... I want you to join in a job.

Uditha: But I'm already doing a job in a detective agency.

Aman: Resign it. Or take a long leave. The job which I give you will settle you in your life.

Uditha(curiously): Really? What's the job? Tell me about it.

Aman: you should be with Mrs. ASR.

Uditha(shockingly): Mrs. ASR? Did he get married?

Aman told her ArShi story...

Aman: You know about ASR very well that's why I have chosen you for the job.

Uditha: I will take care of her.

Aman: Don't forget, ASR won't forgive mistakes. He wants a loyal person. That's why I want you to take over the job. Because I can't trust anyone in ASR's matter other than you.

Uditha: I won't say I will be your trustworthy. I will prove it. And I will try to mend things between them.

Aman: This why I want you Udi. Thank you so much.

Uditha: I'm glad that you trust me Aman.

Aman: You can ask anything and use anything to do your job.

Uditha: Yup... when will I join?

Aman: In half an hour.

Uditha(exclaiming in shock): Whaaaat! In...half an hour....?

Aman: Yup... come to RM.

Uditha: God.... Give me some time to take a breath.

Aman: Come and take breath in RM.

He cut the call not waiting for her reply. Uditha sighed looking at her phone, understanding the importance of her job.

In the meanwhile...

Khushi went inside the temple. She wanted to make a call to Vidya and convey her condition. She saw a man talking on the phone. She rushed to him.

Khushi: Bhiyaji, shall you give your phone? It's very urgent... please...

The man extended the phone towards Khushi, seeing her nervousness. Khushi took it from him happily and dialed GH landline number. Vidya attended it.

Khushi: Amma....

Vidya(surprised): Khushi... where are you? Where did he take you?

Khushi: Amma, I know nothing. I don't know where his house is located. Please save me. I'm scared Amma...

Vidya: What he did? Did he rape you?

Khushi was stuck. RAPE? She couldn't resist herself from thinking, how he threw her shawl on her and what he uttered on their first night.

"What do you think of yourself? Did I come to Lucknow all the way, just to have you? If that's what my motive, I would have finished it in Lucknow itself. And for your kind information, if I want girls on my bed, I can get two girls for every hour. Don't make yourself cheap..."

Khushi: No, Amma. He didn't...

Vidya: without knowing anything, what could I do Khushi? Try to give me a clue. I will do whatever to save you.

Khushi: I'm in Delhi. I know nothing other than that.

Vidya: I will come to Delhi. You try to find out his address. Until I reach Delhi, don't let him touch you. It seems he is a "woman-seller".

Khushi(horrified): What....!

Vidya: Or else, why he gave me two lakhs? That should be his job. Be careful. Don't forget don't let him touch you. If he touched you, he won't sign the documents ever.

Khushi: I'm scared Amma...

Vidya: I will find you at any cost. Ok?

Khushi: Jee... Amma, I'm cutting the phone. I don't know what he will do if he sees me calling you.

She disconnected the call and returned back the phone, thanking the man.

Vidya looked at Reshma who was gazing at her.

Vidya: why are you looking at me?

Reshma: Did Khushi accept what you said?

Vidya: Yes, why?

Reshma: Even after seeing his wealth and richness?

Vidya: She is Khushi... Shashiji's daughter.

Reshma: But you were never good to her, still she trusts you?

Vidya: It's because of Shashiji's up-brining. She is grateful to me because I had done her heart transplantation. She remembers only good things, forgetting all the odds.

Reshma: But what about her husband? Why did he marry her spending a lot of money?

Vidya: I too don't know the reason. Before she sees something GOOD in him, we should reach Delhi.

Reshma: But how will we find their house in huge Delhi?

Vidya: Khushi will find it out for me... soon.

Reshma: What if he makes her spell bounded?

Vidya: She won't get spellbound that easily. She is a faint-hearted girl. She won't trust a stranger easily as it was her father's advice. Gaining trust from Khushi is not that easy.

Reshma: I think you underestimate her. She will fall for her husband soon as he is looking damn handsome. Mark my words.

Vidya: I'm sure that she won't fall for his HANDSOME LOOK. What fears me is, he shouldn't show love and care for her. It will definitely shake Khushi.

Reshma(cunningly): He seemed, dominating. Didn't we see how he married her?

Vidya: Then we don't have to be scared about anything.

She said in relief.

But the mother and daughter didn't know, the faint-Hearted girl's HEART belongs to ONLY her husband.

In the meanwhile, in the temple

Khushi saw a Devimatha's statue was being kept under the tree. She went in front of it and prayed. The floor was burning as it was a hot summer. She prayed standing on the hot floor, changing her legs one after one, couldn't bear the hotness. Arnav who came inside searching for Khushi saw her standing on the hot floor changing her legs. He got panicked. Without thinking anything, he rushed to her and lifted her in his arms. Khushi opened her eyes jerking.

Khushi: What mischievousness is this? Leave me...

Arnav: The floor is hot. Your God won't get angry if you pray, being in your husband's arms.

Khushi got stuck for a while. She looked at her surroundings. People awed seeing the scene.

Khushi: This is temple... not your house.

Arnav: But you are my wife and I can't see you getting hurt.

Khushi couldn't believe Arnav just said that. It was her father's stance. Shashi often utters it. She knew it very well, that's the reason Shashi registered the property on her name. After Shashi, she heard it from Arnav.

Arnav: You can pray now.

He stood firmly carrying her in his arms. Khushi couldn't know how to react to it.

Khushi: I have finished praying. Let me go.

Arnav: Are you sure? You have finished?

Khushi nodded yes.

Arnav started marching towards the car as he was not ready to make her walk on the hot floor. Khushi was embarrassed as all the eyes were only on her but the man seemed to have cared about anything. She gulped hard. What he is? Does he really worried for her or show his rights to her?

Khushi turned her gaze and her eyes stayed for a few seconds on something and her lips uttered a beautiful smile losing its control. Arnav who looked at her got mesmerized seeing her smile. He turned his eyes towards the direction to know what made her smile in the crucial point. His eyebrows went up seeing a Jalebie Shop. He looked at Khushi who gulped embarrassingly. Does she like Jalebies to this extent, that she smiled forgetting situation?

Arnav made her sit in the car and started the engine. He didn't look at her at least for once. He was upset by her stance of "killing herself". But we can't say Khushi didn't steal his glance. She felt something in her stomach and HEART... for the first time. She remembered how he carried her to the car.

"I can't see you getting hurt" was repeating in her head. Her lips uttered BABUJI softly.

RM

When they reached RM, Aman was waiting with Uditha.

Arnav looked at Aman and Uditha. Before he said anything,

Aman: ASR, this girl has no one. She is in need of a job.

Arnav: I don't want a girl in RM. Send her back.

He said roughly.

Aman: ASR... I thought, she will be helpful to Khushiji when you are not at home.

Arnav looked at Khushi who was thinking deeply. If she gets this girl's friendship, she can get this house address and bring Vidya here.

Arnav: I don't think she wants anyone here.

Aman: You can ask her once ASR...

Arnav: Do you want this girl for your help?

Khushi nodded yes.

Arnav: ok fine. Your wish...

He went inside not showing interest.

Aman: Look, girl, this is a very reputed house. She is Mrs. ASR. Because of her, you got the job. Be loyal to her. Ok?

Udi: Yes sir.

Aman left the place smirking. Khushi dragged Uditha to her room.

Khushi: Do you have a phone?

Uditha nodded NO sadly. Khushi sighed.

Khushi: Do you know which place is this?

Udi: Aman sir brought me here. If you want to know, I will tell you asking someone.

Khushi: Really?

Udi: Yeah... you are my boss after all.

Khushi: But don't say anyone that I asked you that.

Udi: ok.

Khushi: You stay in this room... with me.

Udi: As per your order.

Khushi sighed in relief as she got someone for her support. Uditha will be with her until Vidya reach Delhi. Vidya will give her the solution of how to handle Arnav, she believed.

To be continued....

Next part in Inkitt

Spur

Uditha came to the kitchen to prepare juice for Khushi. She saw HP already preparing. She dialed Aman, using the chance. Aman received it.

Aman: Yes Uditha...

Udi: Aman I want to ask you something important. I don't know what to do.

Aman: Anything wrong?

Udi: Aman, Khushiji is asking me the address of RM.

Aman: Didn't you ask her why?

Udi: No. how could I question her? I think she wants to give it to someone. What to do? Shall I give?

Aman(hurriedly): NOOOO.

At the same time, she heard "GIVE" from behind. She turned around and saw Arnav standing.
