Part 21 The First Change (Longest update)
The next day
Khushi sent food to Arnav through Hari Prakash, mixing the particular medicine that Swamiji wanted her to give to Arnav. She didn't want to go to his room before Shyam left home. So, she stayed back but Arnav who always ate food without fussing didn't eat it and kept it on the floor. Hari Prakash left the place getting amazed.
Hari Prakash came to the kitchen.
"Is Arnavji eating?" Khushi asked.
"No, Khushiji... he didn't even touch the food"
Khushi sighed in disappointment. She wanted to go to Arnav's room and made him eat the food but she could not do it until Shyam was at home. She waited suffocating like hell. It seemed Shyam was not going to go anywhere. Arnav should have the medicine at any cause. Making herself up, she walked to Arnav's room and sighed seeing him sitting on the bed looking at the plate as he was hungry. He rushed to her and lifted her circling her waist.
"Arnavji... put me down"
He took her to the bed and put her down.
"I know you are hungry. Why don't you eat?" Khushi asked smilingly.
Taking the plate, he gave it to her.
"What?"
"Aaaa" he opened his mouth asking her to feed him.
Khushi smiled nodding her head left to right and started feeding him breakfast. Arnav ate it without troubling her. He didn't feed her in return like he did in the previous day as he was hungry. She finished feeding.
"Good boy..." Khushi wiped his mouth with her saree pallu.
Taking her saree pallu, he too wiped her mouth and said,
"Good boy"
Khushi chuckled.
"I'm not a boy. I'm a girl... Khushi... your wife... ok?"
"I'm Khushi..." he said.
"No... you are Arnavji... Ar...nav...ji..." she stressed.
"Mmm... You?" he pointed at her.
"I'm Khushi..."
Arnav looked up frowning.
"Arnavji, listen to me"
Arnav looked at her. She stood from the bed.
"If I ran, you should chase me" She tried to make him understand through her action.
She started running and asked him to chase her. Arnav ran behind her when Khushi started running. She came and sat on the bed. Arnav also sat with her. Giving enough gap, she again ran and Arnav again chased her. She repeated the action two more times. She brought Arnav near the grill gate and sat there. So that, she could keep an eye on the way to Arnav's room. She knew no one came to Arnav's room but Shyam. He might check what Arnav and Khushi were doing.
As Khushi expected, Shyam searched for Khushi, not finding her in the living room. He thought something and came to the kitchen. he saw only HP there.
"Where is Khushiji?"
"In Arnav baba's room" HP said.
Shyam nodded ok and came to Arnav's room. He stood at a little distance and listened sharpening his ears. But Khushi saw him coming to Arnav's room and started running.
"Arnavji... please leave me... I just can't bear it..." she ran here and there. Of course, Arnav chased her as she practiced him well.
Shyam slowly peeped in and saw Khushi trying to save herself from Arnav. Arnav clutched Khushi's saree pallu and pulled her towards him. That's when they heard, Anjali calling Shyam. Shyam got alert and left the place immediately. Khushi made sure that Shyam went off. She sat on the bed panting hard. Arnav also sat beside her. Khushi leaned on his shoulder. Don't know how long she could manage Shyam with silly ideas. Tomorrow morning, there will be a big change in Arnav. What could she do? She was thinking about it. After a little while, she sensed that Arnav was sitting like a statue. Because he didn't want her to take her head off his shoulder. She raised her head and looked at Arnav. He pressed her head on his shoulder again. Khushi looked at him smilingly, leaning on his shoulder. She circled his bicep and closed her eyes forgetting everything. Arnav raised his brows pressing his lips together. He might have sensed something in him.
After a while, Arnav felt sleepy. Might be, that it was the medical effect. He laid on her lap and dozed off within a few minutes. It was the deepest sleep Arnav ever had. She came to the kitchen, neatening her saree. She put the plate in the kitchen sink.
"Did he eat?" HP asked.
Khushi nodded yes while washing the plate.
"I wonder... Arnav baba never refused to eat before like he did today"
Khushi smiled slightly.
"You have a lot of patience and also guts, Khushi Bhabi"
"Do I have any other choice, Hari Prakashji?" Khushi asked.
HP nodded affirmatively.
"He becomes wild suddenly... don't know when and how his mind changes," Khushi said worriedly and HP's facial expression told her that he believed her.
"He is a mental disorder patient after all. But don't feel bad, Babhi. Arnav baba will get cured soon. After you came to RM, I can see a lot of change in him" HP said.
Khushi nodded yes and left the place with a smile. HP felt bad for her.
Though Arnav slept Khushi kept an eye on Arnav. She kept on checking on him from time to time. In the meantime, she was thinking about tackling Shyam.
On the other side, Shyam was lying on the bed, relaxing. No matter how hard Khushi tried to tackle Arnav, it was not going to happen. Arnav will not calm down until he was taking the medicine. Poor Khushi, she had to be chased by Arnav for her whole life. Shyam felt relieved.
Lunch
Khushi brought the dishes to the table while praying to DM as her nervousness was increasing. Raizadas gathered in the dining room for Lunch. Khushi was the one who prepared lunch as she got time because Arnav was sleeping deep. She served it to everyone.
That's when Shyam got a call. He attended it. his facial expression changed with anger.
"Whaaaaat? Why the hell did you do so?" he gritted his teeth.
"...."
"I'm your lawyer. Without discussing with me, how could you meet him?"
"....."
"No... Until this case gets over, you should not have done that. The next hearing is in ten days. I already told you, before the next hearing, they will try to destroy our evidence."
"....."
"Just relieve me from this case... I'm done with you"
"...."
"Then what? If you are not ready to listen to my words, then what is the use of me handling the case...?"
"...."
Shyam ran his fingers in his hair irritatingly.
"Ok, ok, I will continue this case with one condition. You should not do anything without my permission regarding the case"
"......"
"I'm coming to Lucknow "
"...."
"Then how could I correct the mistakes done by you sitting in Delhi?"
"...."
"That's ok" Shyam disconnected the call.
"What happened, Shyamji?" Anjali asked.
"I have to go to Lucknow immediately. Or else, I won't win the case"
Khushi who was about to sip the tea stopped hearing that. Her face brightened. She sipped the tea with joy.
"But, you just came yesterday..." Anjali pouted.
"The biggest mistake happened... I have no choice"
"When will you come back?"
"After the next hearing. I mean after Ten days"
Anjali nodded ok.
"I will arrange your stuff"
Shyam nodded ok. They went to their room to pack Shyam's things.
"Today, I should offer keer for DM" Khushi thought inwardly.
Khushi stayed in the living room to see the pleasurable sight of Shyam leaving RM. He came with Anjali, packing his stuff.
"Take care," Shyam said.
Anjali nodded ok. Shyam felt RM.
After a while, Khushi heard Arnav's voice. It seemed he woke up. She went to his room and saw him sitting on the bed. He leaned on her shoulder as he was still sleepy. Khushi let him relax without disturbing him. Arnav again slept. Khushi made him lay down properly and came to her room. She dialed Swamiji.
"Tell me, beta. Any problem?"
"Arnavji is sleeping non-stop, Swamiji. Is that any problem?"
"No no... the medicine is working. Let him sleep. Don't disturb him. No problem if he doesn't wake up"
"ok, Swamiji"
"Ok"
Khushi huffed in relief. As she thought, she offered keer to DM and she gave it to everyone.
"What's the matter Khushiji, you cooked keer?" Anjali asked.
"Just thought to offer Keer to DM" she smiled.
"Khushi, how could you manage Bhai? Does he hurt you?" Lavanya asked worriedly.
Khushi thanked Lavanya inwardly for asking such a question. As of now, she needed it the most.
"No, Lavanya... at first he was harsh but now, he became soft. I can sense the difference in him. he is just like a child" Khushi said because when they saw the difference in him the next day, it will be easy for her to manage them.
"Whatever it is, Khushi bitiya, you are the dawn of our family because we know how Chotte had been. To bring Chotte back, you are putting yourself on fire" Nani choked.
"He is my husband Naniji. He will get cured even though if he got married to someone"
"No... I won't agree. We can see your dedication. I don't think anyone would have done the same" Anjali said.
"Everything will be alright... very soon, Arnavji will be like before" Khushi smiled.
Raizada women also smiled pleasantly.
Hotel the Blue Diamond
Aman came out of the five-star hotel's conference hall, finishing the businessman conference. He sensed someone tapping his shoulder. He turned around and saw a woman standing.
"Hello, Mr. Hanuman... I mean, Aman Mathur... where is your Sriram? (In the Indian Epic Ramayana, Hanuman is a sincere devotee of Lord Sriram) People gossiping that you are hiding him across seven seas..." it was pure Mockery.
She was Reena Sharma. One of the businesswomen in Delhi.
"He is in abroad," Aman said rigidly.
"Oh... are you really Aman Mathur or the recorded voice of AR? Don't you get bored of repeating the same lie?"
"Why should I lie?"
"To keep the secret about the great ASR"
"There is no secret in ASR's life"
"What kind of manager you are? He is the great ASR and you say there is no secret in his life...! I heard, his life itself became a secret"
Aman was about to walk away,
"Do you remember, what he said once, Aman?"
Aman looked at her and said nothing.
"He said, even a MENTAL (She stressed) won't marry me... remember?"
Aman gritted his teeth.
"There is gossip that your ASR became mental. Don't you know that?" she laughed.
"ASR was right, no mental will marry you" Aman walked away with anger.
"Go go... your ASR will never become the same as he was before" she murmured.
She talked like a GOD as if she knew everything and everything happens as per her wish. But she didn't know Arnav was a blessed soul who got a GODDESS as his life partner who was waiting for his recovery, and the very next day, she will taste the first fruit of her hard work.
The next day morning
Khushi was having tea with Raizadas. She didn't go to Arnav's room. She wanted him to wake up on his own. Suddenly, they jerked hearing,
"Khushiiiiiiii..."
Of course, Arnav was the one who called Khushi. All of them glanced at Khushi with great pleasure who was looking overwhelmed.
To be continued...
