67 The hug from Arnav
Part 67 The hug from Arnav
Anjali who entered Khushi's room got stuck, seeing HP with Arnav.
"What happened Di?" Arnav asked Anjali.
"Nothing Chotte... I just came to talk to Khushi" she stammered.
"What so urgent that you entered her room without even getting her permission...?" he asked with a serious expression.
Anjali got stuck for a while.
"I just..."
"Just because she is a girl you BOUGHT for one crore, will you enter her room without her permission?" he asked lifting his brows, having loath in his tone.
Not only Anjali but also Khushi was embarrassed by his direct hit.
"I didn't expect you would be here in her room," she said gulping.
"I think you didn't understand what I ask you. I'm not talking about whether someone is in her room or not... I'm talking about entering her room without her permission..."
"No, Chotte... I... I was confused..." she stumbled.
Cutting her,
"About what Di? What's there to get confused...? That too in this time...?" he looked at the wall clock that showed 10'o clock.
Anjali was silent.
"But, Sale Sahib, what Hari Prakash and you are doing here, at this time?" Shyam asked.
"I wanted to discuss an important thing about the evil medicine with Khushi and Hari Prakash, (he paused) LAWYER SIR. That's why I called Hari Prakash here. Any problem?" he asked mockingly.
Shyam looked at Anjali.
"I asked what made you confused?" Arnav asked. It seemed he was not ready to leave the issue easily.
Anjali glared at Shyam. Composing herself,
"Because of you, I'm confused Chotte. I didn't expect you would be stubborn in your decision not to accept Khushi as your wife. I thought you would consider my request. I think I have done a big mistake by getting Khushi married to you. I understand that I have spoilt an innocent's life. I don't know how to compensate for it as the damage was already done. I'm feeling helpless Chotte..." Anjali said helplessly.
She left the place hurriedly. Shyam followed her silently.
After making sure that they left the place,
"Thanks, Hari Prakash..." Arnav said.
HP smiled at him and went out of the room and stood a little aloof. He didn't leave the place as he could not trust Shyam who could come back again.
Khushi huffed in relief.
"Don't you think you were rude to Di?"
"I was... but it was needed... I can't believe she even forgot the respect..." he said wearily.
"Shyamji would have screwed her"
"Doesn't she have a brain? How could she be manipulated easily? Won't she think anything on her own? Would she believe anything said by her bloody husband?" Arnav asked irritably.
"He saw you coming to my room, Arnavji..."
"So, what if I'm in your room? Will the world stop its rotation? She wants me to accept you as my wife but she would spy on us if I come to your room... what the heck..."
"This is why I asked you to go to your room. what if Hari Prakashji had not seen Shyamji checking my room?"
"I would have told them I decided to accept you as my wife... simple" Arnav said simply.
"Please don't come to my room, Arnavji. please avoid such an unnecessary happenstance"
"Ok... I won't come to your room until I accepted you as my wife in front of everyone..." Arnav was about to go,
Khushi clutched his hand. Arnav looked at her like, WHAT NOW?
"Are you upset with me?" she asked.
"So?"
"So, you are upset..."
"So?"
"Don't be so childish, Arnavji"
"So?" he folded his hands.
"You know what? It's too tough to handle you"
"So..."
Khushi closed his mouth with her palm.
"Stop your so-called SOs... you are a tough nut to crack"
Arnav circled her in his arms.
"You have to crack... after all, you are my wife. And, I know you would CRACK if you want to do it" his voice became huskier.
Khushi knew it was a sign of an upcoming danger.
"I think you should go..." she said dusting his shirt slightly.
"I was about to... it was you who purposely stopped me and pulled me into an argument..."
"What to do if your face hung?" she pouted.
"What will you do if my face hung?"
"It doesn't feel good..."
"Am I looking ugly when I'm upset?" he asked teasingly.
"You are looking so hot when you are upset," She said controlling her smile.
Arnav pulled his head back a little, surprisingly.
"You mean am I not looking good when I'm smiling?"
"You are always looking good..."
"It seems someone is getting crazy about me?" he smiled.
She nodded yes, rotating his shirt button with her index finger.
"Then come to my room. No one dares to enter my room without my permission"
Khushi bit her lip.
"I will come to your room RIGHTFULLY..."
"Do you really want me to go now?" he asked smiling.
She nodded yes sadly.
"Ok... good night" he kissed her forehead.
"Good night" she embraced him, that wondered Arnav.
"If you act like crazy, how could I go to my room?"
Khushi looked at him pouting and broke the hug.
"Bye," she said.
"Bye..." Arnav dashed her forehead with his and walked.
He stopped at the entrance and looked at Khushi with a mild smile. Khushi folded her lip and nodded, GO. Arnav walked away from her room thinking deeply.
In the meanwhile,
Anjali looked distressed.
"I can understand your state Rani Sahiba. How could Arnav talk to you like that..."
Cutting him,
"I should not have entered Khushi's room without her permission..." She said with regret.
"But what's wrong with that...?"
"It is... It's absolutely wrong to enter anyone's room without their permission. It's not a good manner... I think, Chotte is suspecting my intention..." she said restlessly.
"But..."
Anjali showed her palm and stopped him, glaring at him. Shyam gulped down.
Anjali walked to the bed. Shyam rolled his eyes irritatingly.
Anjali sat on the bed, closing her face with her palms. Shyam came and sit next to her.
"Rani Sahiba, you should understand Arnav is no more your old brother. In fact, he was never... it was you, who loved him unconditionally. But he never loved you as you do..."
Anjali looked at him gritting her teeth.
"Shut up... don't you dare talk to me like that about my brother. Don't you dare compare our love... Of course, he was never like me. So what? This is not a business... this is not a give-and-take policy. No doubt my love for my brother is unconditional... if I start expecting him to love me as I do, it will become a trade. I don't want to be a selfish sister. I just want him to accept Khushi... not just me. Khushi is a nice girl... Chotte will be happy with Khushi. She will make him happy. That's all that I want. If Chotte accepted Khushi, I won't be staying in RM after that because Chotte won't need anyone if Khushi is with him."
Shyam was awe-stuck. Would Anjali leave RM if Arnav accept her? His eyes sparkled. Damn... if this was what Anjali wanted, he would have gotten into the matter severely and made them together long ago.
"Rani Sahiba... what you just said is true?"
"Don't you trust my words?"
"But, Arnav will feel bad if you leave RM"
"It doesn't matter... it has to happen. I wanted to be here because Nani was ill and Lavanya was so young when we get married. If Khushi takes RM's responsibility, I will be peaceful because she is capable of doing anything"
Shyam huffed in relief. He was relieved. He wanted to find a way to make Arnav accept Khushi. If Arnav accepted Khushi, then, Anjali would come with him to his house. They could live happily without any disturbance. Shyam thought.
The next morning
Raizadas gathered at dinning as usual, except Arnav.
"Hari Prakash, call Chotte..." Nani said.
"He is not at home, Naniji," HP said.
"Where did he go?" Shyam asked.
"Don't know, Shyam baba... he was not in his room when I went to give him coffee... I searched for him all over RM but he is not anywhere"
All of them spared a glance, including Khushi.
"Didn't he say he will take Khushi with him to the commissioner's office?" Nani said.
"Haan, Nani... but where did he go so earlier?" Lavanya asked.
No one had no idea where Arnav went. Taking his mobile, Shyam called Arnav but he didn't attend the call.
"He is not attending the call," Shyam said, lowering the phone from his ear.
"Let him come home," Nani said.
Time was passing, and neither Arnav came to RM nor did he attend anyone's call. Everybody was waiting in the living room for Arnav but Lavanya could not. She called Aman to know where was Arnav. Aman received her call.
"Aman, where is Bhai?"
"He is coming to RM," Aman said.
"Was he with you?"
"I was with him"
"Where did you guys go?"
"We went to the commissioner's house"
"Commissioner's house...? But why?"
"ASR is taking the issue very personally. So, he came with the report of the evil medicine..."
"But, he just got the medicine from Hari Prakash only yesterday... then how did he test the medicine so quickly?" Lavanya asked stunningly.
"Your brother is ASR... don't forget that. Anything is possible for him. I think he should have approached some HIGH-LEVEL officer to do the test. Collecting the report, he met the commissioner at his house in person. The commissioner ordered the crew to follow the case in front of ASR. Then only he got satisfied."
Lavanya sighed.
"He will be at RM anytime. Disconnect the call..." Aman said.
"Ok, bye..."
She came to the living room, disconnecting the call.
"Bhai went to meet the commissioner to file the case very personally... it seems," Lavanya said.
All of them looked at her surprisingly.
"To meet the commissioner so earlier? But the commissioner comes to the office only after 10 o'clock..." Shyam asked.
"That's why Bhai went to his house to meet him. I think Bhai will not sit quietly until the main culprit get arrested" Lavanya said.
Khushi looked at Shyam who smiled at her awkwardly.
"He has to do it... no matter who they are... they must be punished..." Nani said.
"Yes, Nani... how dare they played with Chotte's life. Who gave the right to touch our Chotte? whoever it is, he should rot in hell" Anjali said furiously, not noticing how her husband was suffocating.
They heard Arnav's car horn. They stood up from the couch. Arnav entered RM like a storm as usual. All of them were looking at him, getting ready to ask him about the case. But as no one expected, he strode to Khushi and hugged her tight, making everyone awe-struck... including Khushi.
