Part 43 Contradiction
Khushi came to her room and attended the call after locking the door. Arnav who followed her saw that and frowned. To whom she was going to talk that she locked the door?
"Namaste, Swamiji..." Khushi said.
"Sorry, Beta, I was unable to attend your call yesterday. It was a critical case that needed my full attention. That's why I could not call you back yesterday. Are you ready to come here with your husband?" Swamiji asked.
"We are not coming to Tamilnadu, Swamiji," Khushi said sadly.
"Whaaat? But why? Any problem?"
"Arnavji got his memory back, Swamiji"
There was silence on the other side.
"Swamiji..."
"That means, he would have forgotten you..." he asked disappointedly.
"Yes, Swamiji. He has forgotten me completely" Khushi choked.
"How did he get his memory back? Did he get hit on his head again?" Swamiji guessed it right.
"Yes, Swamiji... Arnavji slipped from the staircase"
"Oh, God... how did it happen? He was recovering... then how did he slip? Was he careless?"
"I don't know, Swamiji. I saw only when he slipped from the stairs. He fell down and got hit on his head."
"When you saw him slipping, didn't you try to save him from slipping?"
"Before I reached him, he fell down in front of my eyes. And, within a few seconds, he went unconscious"
Swamiji became thoughtful.
"Did he lose his consciousness only after a few seconds, after he fell down?"
"Jee..."
"What was your reaction when you see him falling down?"
"What could I do other than crying, Swamiji? I shouted his name, could do nothing"
"Then...your voice might have registered in his mind..."
"Whaaaat? I didn't get you, Swamiji"
"He got his memory back after getting hit on his head, right?"
"Yes, Swamiji"
"He lost his consciousness only after a few seconds."
"Jee"
"He would have got his memory back immediately when he got hit. You shouted his name after he fell down. So, he would have heard your voice before losing consciousness. There is a chance for him to recognize your voice"
Khushi got stuck. Didn't Arnav say, he felt like he heard her voice before?
"Yes, Swamiji... he said my voice sounds like he heard it before..."
"Really? That's good..."
"But what's the use of him recognizing my voice? He had forgotten me..."
"Don't say like that, Beta... who knows what kind of feeling it gave him?"
Khushi was silent. She didn't know what kind of FEELING her voice gave to Arnav.
"How is he now?" Swamiji asked.
"He is normal... he talks nicely with everyone"
"What about you? Does he talk nicely with you too?"
"Jee..."
"Don't you tell him about your wedding?"
"No Swamiji"
"But why?"
"I don't know how would he react"
"It doesn't matter how would he react. You have to tell him the truth. Don't delay, beta... some things should be done at the right time. Don't take much time"
"I will try, Swamiji"
"God bless you, beta" he disconnected the call.
Night
Raizadas were having dinner. Khushi was serving them. When she came to Nani who was sitting next to Arnav, Arnav said,
"Di... I wonder..."
All of them stopped eating and looked at him to know what made him wonder. After serving Nani, Khushi came to Arnav and served him.
"Before I went into a coma, you were always nagging me to get married..."
Khushi's hand stopped hearing that. Arnav noticed it and smirked inwardly.
"But you are not even talking anything regarding my marriage now... what happened, Di?" Arnav read their expression.
Khushi gulped down hard, looking at Anjali.
"Why did you stop serving, Khushi?" Arnav asked.
"Haannn?" she nodded her head left to right and served him.
"Di, even Khushi wanted to know your answer it seems..." he smiled.
Anjali suffocated to answer.
"Sale Sahib, you just came out of the coma. Rani Sahiba doesn't want to stress you. That's why she is not taking marriage talks. Doesn't she know you don't like talking about marriage?" Shyam handled him.
"Is it, Di?"
Anjali nodded yes hurriedly.
"Thank God... I thought you are an incorrigible creature" Arnav laughed.
Anjali dropped her jaw.
"By the way Khushi, you came here to get a job, right?" Arnav asked Khushi.
She nodded yes.
"Did you attend any interviews?"
Khushi didn't know what to say. Anjali came for her help.
"She has been applied for a few companies and waiting for the call for"
"Mmm... when is your Pooja, Di?"
"Day after tomorrow morning, Chotte"
"After the pooja, I decided to go to AR. You too come with me to AR with your certificate when I go to the office" he said looking at Khushi.
Khushi got stuck whereas the other ladies became happier but only Shyam.
"Whaaaat? Didn't you get what I said? I asked you to come to AR with me..." Arnav said.
Khushi nodded yes.
"What did you get?"
"I should come to AR with you"
"Yup..."
He took a morsel and stopped. He looked at Khushi,
"Do you have any problem working in AR?"
Khushi nodded NO hurriedly.
"You are here searching for a job, right?"
She nodded yes.
"Then, how did you get a job if you are sitting at home? YOU SHOULD KEEP TRYING IF YOU WANT SOMETHING" he told the second sentence, giving enough space between the words.
*THAT'S WHAT I'M DOING, ARNAVJI* Khushi thought in her mind.
"Ok?"
"Jee..."
Arnav went to his room. Khushi sat on the chair nervously.
"Di, I'm nervous" she bit her nail.
"I can see that on your face" Anjali smiled.
Khushi pouted.
"Relax Khushi, you are going to be with your husband. Then why are you tensed? You should be happy instead" Anjali said.
"Yes, Khushi, utilize the chance and try to steal his heart...make him flat" Lavanya chuckled.
Khushi blushed unaware of the truth that Arnav was already FLAT.
After a while,
Arnav opened the door as someone knocked on it. He opened the door and smiled at Shyam pleasantly.
"Jeejaji... you?"
"I just..."
"Please come in" he gave him space to enter.
Shyam came in and sat on the bed. Arnav took the recliner.
"Are you alright, Arnav?" Shyam asked.
Arnav nodded yes.
"I'm fine, Jeejaji"
"I'm happy to see you fit and fine again"
Arnav smiled.
"Actually, I want to tell you something, sale sahib" Shyam started with hesitation.
Arnav became curious. He expected that Shyam was there to open up about something that women were hesitating to do. He was glad. At least, someone was there to tell him the truth.
"I think you are hurrying..." Shyam said.
That sentence definitely disappointed Arnav. It was not what he expected from Shyam.
"What are you talking about, Jeejaji?" he tried not to show his disappointment.
"Khushi is a fresh candidate. She just completed her graduation. Without knowing her ability, how could you offer her a job in AR? She helped Lavanya to pass the exams. It doesn't mean she is qualified to work in AR"
Arnav gulped down. What's wrong with Shyam? Arnav saw happiness sparkling in women's eyes when he asked Khushi to join AR. But why Shyam was against it? Khushi was his wife. According to others, Arnav didn't know the truth. If it was so, they should feel happy about Khushi getting a job in AR because she will spend time with Arnav and it will create many opportunities to get him attracted to her. Arnav wanted to see their reactions when he declared his decision of taking Khushi to AR. He was satisfied too. But, it seemed Shyam was not happy about it. But why?
Arnav was thinking all the points quickly. He could not conclude what he was up to. Of course, Arnav was dissatisfied with Shyam. He should not have gone against his decision as Khushi was his wife. Arnav got alert. He felt something fishy. So, he decided not to show his disappointment to Shyam.
"Don't mistake me Arnav. I just said what I thought"
"You have all the rights to discuss anything with me Jeejaji. In fact, I'm also thinking the same. I should not have hurried. But, don't worry. I will watch her work for a few days. If I'm not satisfied, I won't mind expelling her"
Arnav saw a sign of happiness on his face. What was wrong with this man? Was not he fine with *the working woman* concept? Would he like Raizada women to be at home? Arnav thought but Shyam's next stance shocked him to the core.
"I want you to settle down in your life, Sale Sahib. If you are ok, I will start searching for a girl from a rich and reputed family."
Arnav gulped down hard.
"Do you know how many people are longing to get you as their Damad?" Shyam smiled and the smile didn't reach his eyes.
"I will surely tell you if I feel to get married, jeejaji. Who else I have other than you and Di?" Arnav tried hard to smile.
"Don't waste your time, Arnav. You are already twenty-nine."
Was Shyam trying to know his mindset about marriage? Arnav thought.
"You are right Jeejaji. By the way, do you think, a rich and reputed girl could give a happy and peaceful life?"
"Of course, yes... then only you won't get conflictions with her if she is equal to you. Don't think of getting married to a simple girl, Arnav. That kind of girl won't suit you. Only a Morden girl can be a diamond in your crown. Maybe, Rani Sahiba and Nani will try to get such a Bahu to RM. But please don't spoil your life for any reason. You are Arnav Singh Raizada... don't forget that. A king must marry a Queen, not any random girl" Shyam said seriously.
Arnav didn't know what was happening. He didn't know how to react to it. He was sure about one thing. Shyam was not fine with his MARRIAGE... or maybe, he was not fine with KHUSHI. Or... did he hurry in judging things? Why would he trust Swaraj? What if he lied? He didn't know whom he should believe, Swaraj or Shyam.
If Khushi was his wife, why did Shyam want him to marry a rich girl? If she belonged to a rich family, why did her brother come to RM for money? He wanted to know the truth without asking anyone about it because it seemed many conflicts were running around HIM. But how could he know the truth? Something sparkled in his mind. Khushi's MOBILE...! Didn't her mobile unlock with HIS fingerprint? How it was possible if she was not his wife? Even though he was her husband, how did she let the mental handle her phone? Did her phone really have his fingerprint or did it get unlocked coincidently? Let's check it. Arnav thought.
To be continued...
