Part 24 Suspiciousness
RM
*I just can't believe Khushi Bitiya accepted our Chotte...* Nani said emotionally.
*Haan, Sasuma... I was so worried when she called Arnav Bituwa RAKSHAS... but Devi Maiya made her understand Arnav Bituwa... It's Devi Maiya's grace...what else we can say about her decision? * Manorama said.
*Haan, Nani. She was so furious when I saw her near the farmhouse. She must be a mild-hearted girl. That's why Chotte's past shook her* Anjali said.
*What did she say on phone? How is she? * Nani asked.
*She is fine and she asked about Chotte's favorite food...* Anjali said excitedly.
*Thanks to Devi Maiya...* Nani said joining her hands.
*So, she is going to make Methi ki paratha for Arnav Bituwa...* Manorama said happily.
*We have to bring them to RM soon...* Nani said.
Anjali nodded ok.
*Did you ask Khushi, how their marriage happened? * Nani asked.
*She said Chotte married her forcefully...*
*That means, he would not have married her Ritually...*
Anjali nodded yes, pressing her lips. Her face literally lit.
*Nani, shall we do it ritually? *
*That's what I'm thinking about...*
*Will Arnav Bituwa agree to it? * Manorama asked.
Anjali and Nani become silent.
*Don't forget Arnav Bituwa's condition. He has not recovered yet fully. Do anything, only after knowing his condition and his wish. Don't make him angry or upset...he is married... and the girl also accepted him as her husband, it's enough as of now...*
*But, what about Khushiji? Doesn't she have the right to get her share of respect in society? We should not let anyone raise their finger on her, Mami...*
*I agree with it. But we have to make Arnav Bituwa understand that...*
Anjali sighed.
*Don't hurry. Just let him be free with his wife*
Anjali nodded ok.
Farmhouse
Khushi came downstairs, after deleting Anjali's number from the dialed number list. She saw Koyla boiling milk. Seeing Khushi, she went to the cupboard and removed a Devi Maiya idol. She extended it to Khushi. Khushi lifted her brows up.
*When did you bring it? I just asked you last night... * She asked unbelievably.
*I had one. I bought it when I went to the temple* Koyla said.
*Oh...how much? *
*That's okji...I don't want money for this*
*No no... Devi Maiya will get upset with me...* she said smilingly.
Koyla also smiled.
*Tell me the cost of the idol*
*Hundred Rupees*
*Ok...*
She was about to go; Koyla gave her a small metal LAMP to lit, in front of DM idol.
*Thank you* Khushi smiled.
*You welcome*
*I will prepare breakfast...* Khushi said.
Koyla nodded ok.
Khushi came out of the kitchen and looked here and there for a good place to keep Devi Maiya idol. She saw a flower vase kept on a tea table. Brining the table under the stairs case, she created a small Pooja room there. Devi Maiya got a place under the staircase.
Arnav came from jogging. Khushi saw him climbing stairs, sweating badly. She rushed behind him to the room and stood in front of him panting. Arnav looked at her flinching.
*Arnavji, give me a hundred Rupee...* she asked, extending her hand.
He removed his purse and searched for a hundred Rupee note. There was only two thousand and Five hundred but Hundred Rupee Note. He gave her five hundred Rupees. Taking it from him, Khushi turned to leave but she again looked at him.
*Won't you ask me why I asked for money? * She questioned.
*It's just money...*
*but what I will do with the money in this lonely bungalow? *
Arnav sighed.
*What do you want me to do? * he asked.
*Don't you want to know what I'm doing? * she smirked.
Undoubtedly it made Arnav wonder.
*Do you want me to know what you are doing? *
*Maybe...* she rushed out giggling.
Though Arnav frowned there was a mild smile on his face. He went to the washroom with the same smile. He didn't ask her why she asked for money. That doesn't mean he didn't want to know why. He was sure she is planning something in her mind. Let's see what does she do.
Arnav came downstairs to have breakfast. His legs got rooted on the floor because the Methi ki paratha smell had hit his nose. Koyla is preparing his favorite breakfast, he thought. He came to the dining and waited. That's when Koyla and Govind came inside the house, with the vegetable bag.
*Where are you coming from? * Arnav asked them.
*We went to the market*
Market? Then how the smell coming from the kitchen? Is that Khushi who is cooking?
*Then who would prepare breakfast? * Arnav asked.
*Khushiji told me she would prepare...* Koyla said.
They saw Khushi coming with a plate and a bowl. She served it to Arnav.
*Why did you cook? * he asked.
She smiled and continued serving.
*Why did you cook Methi ki Paratha? *
*I like it very much... don't you? *
Arnav started eating said nothing.
*If you don't like it then I will prepare something for you* she tried to remove the plate intentionally.
Arnav clutched her hand and stop her from doing that. Khushi looked at him.
*I like it*
Khushi sat on the next chair.
*Really? Same pinch...* she pinched his upper arm smilingly.
Arnav looked at her hand and then her face. Khushi removed her hand and sat straight.
*What should I do? * he asked.
*What...? * she questioned him back.
*Should I say the SAME PINCH, pinching you? *
Khushi laughed nodding yes. Arnav pinched her slightly,
*Same pinch* he smiled.
*Do you like Methi ki Paratha so much? * She asked as if she doesn't know about it.
Arnav nodded yes and ate it.
*You made it tastier...* Arnav said.
*Thank You...*
She remembered something.
*One minute...* she rushed to the new Pooja room of the farmhouse and brought the Almond Halwa she prepared for the Pooja...correction, in the pretext of Pooja. She kept it on the dining table.
*Taste it...* she said.
Arnav looked at the bowl. Its smell itself told him it was Almond halwa.
*Almond Halwa... I prepared it to welcome Devi Maiya to OUR HOME* she said smilingly.
The word OUR HOME made him stuck. Why is she doing this? Is she ready to break his heart, giving him hope?
Khushi flicked her finger in front of his face.
*What did you say? Devi Maiya? When did she come here? * he asked.
*Koylaji gave me a Devi Maiya idol. I kept it under the staircase to worship her...*
*Oh...*
Arnav finished eating and stood.
*Don't you eat Almond halwa? *
Arnav took the bowl in his hand.
*I will eat it in the room*
Khushi nodded ok smilingly. Arnav went to his room thinking deeply. How does it feel if Khushi really does everything, without the escaping intention? Arnav thought she is doing everything to get his trust again. She would be left freely without any protection if Arnav trusts her.
We can't blame Arnav for suspecting Khushi because she is the one who is the reason for it. She made him believe her. When he started trusting her, she tried to escape from the farmhouse. But Arnav didn't know, she could escape from him without even getting his trust. Don't we know she already did that?

Mistaken belief
Arnav was relishingthe Almond Halwa. Khushi has magic in her hand. The Halwa tasted damn good.Though Arnav liked Almond Halwa he never lost his mind. But he couldn't holdhimself from losing himself while eating the Halwa. She is an expert in makingsweets. He smiled. Don't know what's there in her mind. If she tries to escapethis time, she will be taught a good lesson. His grip on the spoon tightened.
