CARDIOLOGIST'S HEART ( Completed)
43 Insecurity
Part43
Khushi came out of the parlor. Arnav held her chin and turned her face left and right.
Arnav: I see no difference in your face.
Khushi(chuckling): My face won't change like a Ms.Universe in half an hour.
Arnav: I told you, you look beautiful always. Do you know that?
Khushi: Yeah, you told me...
Arnav: Then why did you go to the parlor?
Khushi: We will discuss it later. Let's go.
Arnav: Everyone is in the Hospital.
Khushi: We will also go there. I want to meet Shali.
Arnav: Ok...
He drove towards the hospital.
Shali was healing so fast. The pain killer was saving her from the pain. She smiled at Khushi thinking that she is her doctor Sneha.
Khushi: How are you baby?
Shali: I'm fine. Thank you.
Khushi: Thank you? For?
Arnav pressed her shoulder slightly. She looked at him not understanding.
Arshi: Mumma, she is thanking you for heart transplantation.
That's when Khushi understood why she thanked her.
Khushi: Your thanks will reach all the doctors who had done the operation.
She smiled. Shali also smiled.
Shali: Will you give me chocolate?
Khushi: Sure.... get well soon. I will definitely give you chocolates.
Arshi: Mom, shall I be with Shali?
Khushi looked at Anjali stunningly.
Anjali: Let her be with us. She is not at all disturbing Shali. I will send her to RM with someone.
Khushi: Arshi, you should not talk too much with Shali. She needs rest.
Arshi nodded ok agreeing to her. They came out of the ICU.
Khushi: Arnav... where are Payal and La?
Arnav: Lavanya will be in the Pediatric section which is on the first floor. And Payal should be attending patients in the second floor.
Khushi: Let me meet them.
Arnav: Come soon. I will come after instructing NK.
She went towards the second floor to meet Payal. She was checking a girl, pressing her stomach. Khushi stood leaning on the door folding her hands. Payal's face brightened seeing her. She gestured her to wait for a second, raising her index finger.
Payal sent a patient and hugged Khushi.
Payal(nervously): Khushi, you are burning... What happened?
Khushi: Yeah... I have a slight fever. Give me an injection.
Payal: But....
Khushi: Acetaminophen...am I right?
Payal smiled nodding yes.
Khushi: Thank God... I haven't forgotten what I studied.
Payal: You won't... because you studied with dedication.
She said while filling the medicine in a syringe. She injected it to Khushi.
Payal: Did you eat ice cream?
Khushi: No yaar...
Payal(teasingly): Or... did anything go overbroad last night?
Khushi hit her shoulder playfully.
Khushi: You are busy... we will talk later.
Payal: Yeah...
Khushi left her room. Arnav was waiting for her in Lavanya's room.
La: Hi Khushi...
Khushi: Hi...
La: Where were you?
Khushi: Just visited Payal.
Arnav: Didn't I say?
La: When will you join the duty?
Khushi: Soon...
La: What about Cardiology, don't you have an idea to do it?
Khushi: I don't think it's possible right away. I don't want Arshi to miss me.
LA: Good decision...
Arnav sighed.
That's when the next patient knocked on La's door.
Khushi: You carry on.
La nodded yes. Arnav and Khushi started towards RM. When they reached RM, Khushi got down from the car and went in. Payal called Arnav and he attended it.
Arnav: Haan, Payal...
Payal: Arnav, I forgot to give tablets to Khushi. Give her something for fever from your first aid kit.
Arnav: Fever? For Khushi?
Payal: Don't you know?
Arnav: No...
Payal: I gave her an injection.
Arnav: Ok... I will give her a tablet.
Payal: Yeah...
Arnav disconnected the call. Coming inside the room, Arnav locked the door. He touched her forehead and she indeed had a fever.
Arnav: You have a fever...
Khushi: Slightly...
Arnav: Payal said you had an injection.
Khushi: Hann...
Arnav: But you were fine in the morning.
Khushi: It's fever... not a guest to come after informing.
She smiled.
Arnav: Pagal...
He hugged her tightly and Khushi hissed.
Arnav(looking at her panicking): What's wrong?
Khushi nodded NO.
Arnav: Khushi.... you are hiding something.
Khushi: I can never hide anything from you.
Arnav: Then tell me.
Khushi: Not now...
Arnav: Means, you are hiding...
Khushi was silent.
Arnav: It's my promise... tell me Khushi.
Khushi sighed. She opened the top two buttons of her tops and evaded the tops slightly. Arnav's eyes widened, seeing his name is being drawn as a TATTOO with a small heart symbol on her left side chest. And it was swollen. No need to say Arnav became mad at her.
Arnav(gritting his teeth): What the... Why Khushi? Is it necessary? Why the hell are you behaving like a kid? Have you gone mad?
He shouted. Clutching his collar, she dragged him close to her.
Khushi: Don't you know? I'm indeed mad about you. I have lost everything Arnav... I have lost my precious years... my career... my daughter... my father... but I can't lose you. I just can't...
Arnav: You won't...
Khushi: No... you don't know about her. She looks like me... she will do anything, taking our resemblance as an advantage. I can't be careless.
Arnav: But, Khushi...
Khushi(cutting him): I don't want you to touch her....because you are mine...my husband... I want you to know the difference between me and her. This secret identification will make us different. No one knows about it except us two. So, you can easily find who Khushi is and who is not.
She said emotionally, looking at Arnav, panting hard. Her eyes became teary. Arnav cupped her face.
Arnav: Khushi...you are bothering unnecessarily. I'm always yours.
Khushi: I know... and you too know that you should not touch anyone other than me.
Arnav: I won't... I promise.
Khushi: But... what if she tries? She may cheat you... I don't want you to get confused. That's why I tattooed your name. Is it wrong?
She asked miserably. Arnav nodded NO. Khushi hugged him tightly. Arnav caressed her hair gulping down. Her fear is justified. Until Sneha gets caught, she will be restless.
Arnav: You have a fever. Take a rest.
Khushi nodded NO, looking at him
Arnav: Khushi, listen to me...
He stopped, couldn't continue talking as Khushi took his lower lip. Her grip around him became firm. She got separated from Arnav but her eyes were not from his lips.
Arnav: Are not you feeling tired?
Khushi: My husband is a doctor. He will make me brisk.
She said touching his cheek. Arnav picked her in his arms and made her lay down on the bed.
Arnav: Sleep for a while.
He was about to leave the bed, Khushi clutched his hand.
Khushi: Arnav wants a kiss...
Arnav: Khushi....i'm...
Khushi: I'm talking about this ARNAV.
She pointed out the tattoo. Arnav closed his eyes.
Khushi: Won't you kiss him?
Arnav looked at her sighing. Would he dare to say "I WON'T?"
To be continued...
Realization
Arnav was thinking deeply lying on the bed, caressing Khushi's hair. She was lying on his chest. As a husband, he is responsible to wipe her insecurity. Before everything, he has to settle her down first. he was thinking about how to implement it. He kissed her hair.
Khushi: Arnav...
Arnav: Mmmm...
Khushi: I know you love me but not to this extend.
