44 Arnav's decision
Part 44 Arnav's decision
"Khushi didn't know the ploy happened behind her back. Keep it within us." Arnav said, making them dumbfounded.
Didn't Khushi know what happened with her? But how? How did Arnav bring her out of the ploy without her knowledge? They were confused, thrilled and thunderstruck.
"Arnav bituwa..."
"Mami, please, we will talk later..." Arnav said as the Guptas came close to them.
"Where were you, Khushi? Garimaji said you were missed." Manorama asked.
Khushi smiled, looking at Arnav. Everyone looked at him.
"I was with Arnavji..."
"Whaaat? Were you with Arnav bituwa?"
She nodded, biting her lip. Akash gazed at her with confusion. What did happen? He sent Khushi to the temple as that was Goutham's order. Wasn't Goutham in the temple when Khushi went there? He wanted to know what happened there because it was about Payal's life. Goutham would be angry as his plan flopped. He didn't know what he would do. Akash was nervous.
Arnav observed Akash's facial expression. He didn't like what he did. He couldn't accept his move even though it was about saving Payal's life. He should have told him about Goutham. If he had told him that, he would have made arrangements to save Payal. Why didn't Akash trust him? This was what his trust in him? He was disappointed. To save Payal's life, putting Khushi's life in danger was what justice? He could not accept it. Without giving heed to Akash, Arnav said,
"Let's go..." he walked to the sangeeth hall.
Everyone followed him. Except for the Guptas, all of them were confused. Guptas were convinced because they didn't know the real picture, as Raizadas did.
"What did your parents say?" Arnav asked.
"My mother would have killed me if you had not dropped me." She chuckled.
"That's why I dropped you," he smiled.
"I wanted to surprise you. That's why I came to the temple. But before I met Akashji. You came there. I didn't expect him to call me to surprise me by sending you to the temple." She pouted.
That was what Arnav told her. He made her believe that Akash called her only to surprise her by sending Arnav to the temple.
"Only you can surprise me?" he asked, smirking.
"Haan haan, you too surprise me..." she pouted.
"By the way, Khushi, don't go anywhere if anyone calls you? Didn't I tell you to be careful? Why did you leave the house, breaking the security?"
"I went to the temple, it's because Akashji called me. He is your brother after all. Would I have gone if someone other than him had called me?"
Arnav knew this was why Goutham chose Akash to bring Khushi out of her house.
"Ok, you went to the temple because Akash called you. What if something had happened on the way to the temple?"
"But the temple is in the next lane only..."
"A few seconds are enough to happen something. Do you know how fast a bullet can travel?"
Khushi bit her nail in fear.
"I'm making arrangements for your safety, but you are casually breaking them..." He said disappointedly.
"But, Arnavji, you have already spoken to me about this. Why are you again scolding me?"
"It's because you are doing this for the second time. You went to the Dragon Mall once, and goons targeted you. Yet, you are doing the same again. I don't know how to make you understand and what to do," he sighed.
"I'm sorry, Arnavji. I really thought Akashji would have made the needed arrangements about my safety. I promise this is the last time. I will not step out of the house without your permission." She said, making a face.
"I will be happy if you do that."
She nodded.
"Ok, be cheerful. This is our sangeeth. You want to enjoy all the rituals, right?"
She nodded.
"Do it..."
"Are you angry with me?"
He nodded no.
"Really?"
"Really, I'm not angry with you... Your happiness and safety matter to me. That's why I ask you not to do something. Understand that."
"Thank you..." She held his bicep and leaned on his shoulder.
Arnav looked at Akash, who was restless. Raizadas didn't dance in the Sangeeth program, except NK, who was unaware of the scene. Of course, Khushi and her parents also. She was moving her body, according to the beats, in a sitting position as Arnav's words changed her mind.
After the sangeeth, Guptas took Raizadas leave. Arnav sent them with his guards and came inside. Almost all the guests were left. That was when Arnav got a call from Aman.
"Haan, Aman..."
"ASR, Goutham is arrested..."
"He should not come out of prison. Make all the evidence strong against him."
"As you say, ASR..."
Arnav disconnected the call. Raizadas were waiting for him to know what exactly happened with Khushi.
"Arnav bituwa..."
Cutting her,
"Goutham is arrested, Nani..." he said.
Akash looked at him, stunned. His face brightened, and they saw relief.
"Did you really do that, Bhai?"
"What do you think?"
"But, how could you do that without proof?"
"Who said I have no proof?"
"Didn't you say he threatened you?"
"Yes... So?"
"I told you the police trapped your calls."
"But how?"
"Can't I find the huge difference in you? After seeing the difference, do you think I would be sitting, doing nothing?"
"Thanks, Bhai... you saved Payal's life..."
"It's also my duty because I value every life in this family. This is MY family..." Arnav said that, which pricked Akash.
"I was scared, bhai..."
"You should have told me if you were scared."
"They warned not to tell you, Bhai."
"So that you would take Khushi to them?"
Akash looked down.
"How dare you do that, Akash? Don't you think about her...? At least about me?"
"I thought Bhai, but saving Payal seemed more important than anything for me."
Arnav looked at Payal, who was looking disappointed.
"Look at your wife, who was distraught due to your action."
"I'm highly disappointed with him for putting Khushi's life on fire," Payal said.
Akash looked at her sadly.
"Do you think I will be happy after making Khushi a scapegoat?"
"I didn't know what to do, Payal."
Payal sighed wearily and left the place. She stopped hearing,
"Leave RM taking Payal with you..." Manorama said.
Akash looked at her in shock, but Payal was not. It didn't mean she expected that.
"Mom, what are you saying?"
"After doing such a blunder, being together will not look good."
"Mom..."
"What if something had happened to Khushi? What would you have done?"
"But, nothing happened to her..."
"It doesn't matter... Arnav Bituwa was alert. That's why Khushi is safe. What if he didn't? Will you answer?"
Akash was silent.
"I don't want you to be here..."
"No need, Mami..." Arnav said.
All of them looked at him, surprised.
"Because I'm going to leave RM after my marriage with Khushi," Arnav said, making all of them dumbfounded.
"Why should you leave, Arnav bituwa? This is your house."
"My family too..."
"Then why are you going?"
"I can't tap everyone in this family, Mami. I don't want to do that. That's why I'm leaving."
"Don't you want to be with us?"
"I so wanted to... but the situation doesn't permit me. Don't mistake me, Mami. I hope you understand..." Arnav headed to his room, leaving everyone helpless.
To be continued...
