19 Evil's Entry
Part 19 Evil's Entry
Khushi came inside after sending Arnav off. She was stuck, seeing her parents looking at her. She bit her tongue and scratched her head.
"You said you talked to your Boss about me. Is this why you talked about me?"
"He just proposed to me. I didn't know he would come here today itself."
"Mmm... So, you like him..."
"He is a gem of a person, Babuji. He patiently tolerates my antics... That's why I liked him. Don't you know how hard it is to bear my craziness? He does..." She said excitedly.
"Do you think he will bring his Nani and Mami?" He asked smiling.
"He will definitely bring, Babuji."
"Let's see..." Shashi went to his room.
Garima followed him.
"Isn't he looking so handsome?" Shashi asked.
"Yes, I can't believe we got such a big shot as our sun-in-law," Garima said excitedly.
"Wait. He hasn't mentioned our son-in-law yet. Let's see if he brings the elders..."
Garima nodded.
................
Arnav was driving the car smilingly towards his house. He met Khushi's father and talked about their marriage, too. The proposal was almost finalised. He hoped their wedding would happen soon, as Khushi had wanted it to with all the rituals. He didn't want to compromise. He wanted to make the girl happy who always wanted to be happy. He smiled thinking about how Khushi pleaded with her father to get his acceptance. His smile vanished as he saw two men entering a restaurant. His leg automatically pressed the brake. They were none other than those who attacked him. He was damn sure that they were the same goons. How could he forget those who wanted to kill him?
Arnav called the police who were handling his case. He answered the call.
"Yes..."
"I'm Arnav speaking."
"Hello, sir..."
"The goons who tried to kill me are in the restaurant in Parvathy Nagar..."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I just saw them entering the restaurant. I'm waiting here. You can arrest them if you come here immediately..."
"Sure sir..."
"I will send my location. Please come fast."
"Don't worry, sir. I will send the area police. They will be there in a few minutes..."
"Thank you, sir,"
The Inspector disconnected the call and connected with the control room. He passed Arnav's message. They sent local police to Arnav's location.
They reached Arnav.
"Where are they, sir?"
"In the restaurant." Arnav pointed to the restaurant.
The police surrounded the restaurant. The goons were horrified to see Arnav with the police. They didn't know how Arnav came there. They have no reason to expect him in the middle-class area. Arnav identified them and the police arrested them.
Arnav came home with satisfaction. He called Aman and conveyed the message of the goons' arrest. Aman huffed in relief.
"I hope soon the culprit will also be arrested."
"Think so..." Arnav said.
"I will follow up. Leave it to me."
"Mmm..." Arnav disconnected the call.
Arnav entered the home and saw Nani and Mami chit-chatting. He came to them and sat. They smiled at him.
"Nani, I met Khushi's father this evening."
They were surprised.
"Is it? What did he say?"
"Yes, I told him my interest in Khushi. He wants to meet my family elders."
"When do you want us to meet him?"
"Your wish... But, I want you to go as soon as possible."
"We will..." Nani said gladly.
"Thanks, Nani... And, police arrested the goons who tried to kill me."
"Wow, this is great news..."
"When coming back from Khushi's home, I saw them going inside a restaurant."
"Is it? But how were they so casual?"
"They would not have expected me in that area. I suppose."
"Thank god, you went to Khushi's house. Or else you would not have seen them."
"You are right," Arnav said.
"I will talk to Khushi's father on the phone tomorrow, before going to their house."
"Thank you, Nani..." Arnav went to his room smiling.
The next day
Arnav came to the office with a lot of expectation. He waited for Khushi's arrival because he wanted to know what happened at her home after he left. But before he called her, she herself came to his cabin and knocked on the door.
"Come in..."
Khushi entered with a bright smile.
"Good morning..."
"Good morning... What's your parents' reaction to my visit?" He asked curiously.
"They don't believe you will bring your Nani and Mami." She said making a serious face.
"Is it?" He smiled because he knew she was pulling his leg.
"Yes... They didn't believe you," she said feeling sad.
"Didn't you say anything about me?"
"What could I say? How could I assure them about you?" She asked without a smile.
"I came to your house, met your parents, still can't you trust me?"
"I trust you... But..."
"But, what?"
"Until you marry me, BUT will be striking into my trust."
Arnav rolled his eyes.
"Will you not doubt me after the marriage?"
"Of course, I will... But, it will be a different doubt. You should be happy about it..."
"For what? For being doubted?" He chuckled.
"No... For being informed about the doubt. I don't keep you in the dark, but telling you what I will do. So, you can be careful..."
"Wow... What a favour...!" He chuckled
"I'm so happy you came to my home..." She said and Arnav sensed real happiness in her tone.
Arnav wanted to tell her that he even talked to his Nani and Mami but he didn't. He wanted it also be a surprise.
"Ok, they will trust me when he meets my family."
"Yeah, he will. So, bring them soon..."
"Yes, madam..."
"Ok, bye..." She stood up.
"What's so urgent?"
"Work while you work... Romance while you romance..."
"When should I romance?" He smiled.
"After completing the work..."
"Ok, come and see this..." He pointed at the computer monitor.
"No way... I know what you will do. You will pull me onto your lap. Then I will become like a bewitched chick..."
"Bewitched chick?" He laughed.
"Then what? It feels like I want to be with you and look at you all the time. You made me like a love-sick puppy. I don't want to lose my mind. I'm going..." She left.
Before she opened the door, Arnav stood up from the seat and held her hand, making her stunned. He pulled her towards him and circled her waist.
"What are you doing?"
"Trying to see, how will you get bewitched..."
She scratched his shirt button pouting.
"Now tell, me didn't your parents like me?"
"Who won't like you? If you are so good?"
"What will a good man get from his girl?"
"The good man will get anything only after the marriage..."
"You said you will become a bewitched chick in my arms. It doesn't seem so. Your mind is so clear..."
"I'm controlling myself because it's time to work..."
"Oh... No..."
"Oh... Yes..."
"Am I not pitiable?"
Khushi held his face and looked at it, turning it from left to right in a searching manner.
"What are you doing?" He chuckled.
"Trying to find if anything there to be pitiable..."
Arnav flipped her lower lip and shook his head like, didn't you get anything?
Khushi looked at his lip and then at his eyes.
"I found something to kiss..." She pecked his flipped lip.
Arnav was taken aback. He leaned towards her and Khushi closed her eyes. He pecked her lips. Khushi looked at him.
"See, how I became in your arms..." She pouted.
"You look so cute in my arms..."
"Haaannn... You will say that now. Let's see what you will do after marriage..." She pushed him.
"Wait..."
"No.. A peck is enough... My condition will turn out to be worse..." I'm going..." she rushed out.
Arnav controlled his laughter until she left and burst out. He didn't know what his love-sick puppy would do after the marriage. He was eager...!
Evening
Veena came to meet Aman, using the location sent by him. She frowned seeing Khushi's scooter in the parking lot. What was Khushi doing here? She didn't know the name of her company. She didn't think Khushi was a PA of such a reputed company's MD who wanted to marry her. She wanted to do something to irritate her. So, she punctuated her scooter.
When she entered the office, she saw Aman entering a cabin. She thought it was his cabin. She advanced to the cabin and was supposed to knock on the door, but she stopped hearing,
"What about the red bag girl? Will she come here today?"
She looked inside through the small gap and her eyes widened seeing the same man who came to meet Khushi's parents last evening. Didn't her mother say the man was Khushi's MD? Was this his company? Was Khushi working here? Was Khushi going to become the boss of this company? Her stomach burned. She could not tolerate it. And what about the RED BAG GIRL? Why would they mention the BAG particularly? Were they searching for her or Khushi? But why?
She stayed without knocking on the door and heard their conversation.
"She said she would come today."
"Try to get the information about the red bag. I want to know who saved my life. She is the only source."
Veena understood that Khushi saved his life. But, they were in love. Then why didn't they recognise each other? She didn't understand.
"I will try to get the information..."
"Give her a lump amount if needed..." Arnav said that showed how eager he was to find the girl.
"Ok..."
"Did you make Khushi busy?"
"Yes, as you said..."
"I don't want Khushi to come out of her cabin when the girl comes here. Khushi shouldn't know about the attack. I don't want her to be tense. She would become restless if she knew the goons stabbed me..."
"Yeah..."
Veena's face lit. So, was this the reason Khushi didn't know about it? He didn't want Khushi to know about it. Then how did he know it was Khushi? Didn't he say SHE was the only source? He should have been unconscious when Khushi saved him. That was why he could not recognise Khushi. But what about that mad( Khushi )? Why didn't she recognise him? Let the reason be anything. She didn't recognise him. That was enough. She applied black magic on her just for a bag. Let's see what she would do now? Veena's evil mind connected the dots fast...!
Veena planned what to do and knocked on the door. Aman pulled the door wide, thinking it must be Khushi. He was stuck seeing Veena and Arnav frowned seeing a new girl.
"Hello, sir..." She smiled at Aman and she looked at Arnav.
She brought a shocking expression to her face. She smiled composing herself.
"Sir, you? Thank God you are alive. I didn't expect I would meet you one day when I saved you that day..."
"You are?" Arnav asked.
"Yeah, of course you can't recognise me because you were unconscious that day. It's me who saved you..."
"Was that you?" Arnav frowned.
"Of course, yes sir... You were in a pool of blood when you were saved..."
She saw joy on Arnav's face. She thought she had succeeded in her plan. Of course, she thought wrongly... Because she didn't know who she was dealing with.
