44 Haughty Headed
Part 44 Haughty headed
The next morning
Neither Arnav nor Khushi liked to get off the bed. Neither they were sleeping nor did they open their eyes. Neither they spoke nor did they get apart from one another's arms. Both of them knew that both are awakened. Turning her face, Khushi looked at the clock. It was ten to six.
"Arnav"
"Mmm?"
"It's 6o' clock"
"Mmmm"
"Let me see what aunty is doing"
"We will go later"
"You come later... I'm going"
"Garima aunty and Buaji are looking after her"
"that's why I have to go. Ratna aunty won't say anything but my Amma and Buaji will surely scold me if I don't visit aunty early in the morning"
Arnav chuckled.
"I have to go..."
"Ok... you go. I will come"
"mmm"
Arnav loosened his grip. Khushi sat on the bed and neatened her dress. Arnav tossed on the bed and laid by his stomach. Khushi looked at him and smiled. She laid on his back and closed her eyes. That action of hers brought a smile to Arnav's face.
"Don't you go?" he asked with a smile.
"mmm"
"Buaji may scold you"
"Mmm"
"What reason will you give?"
"I will tell them a man, made me spellbound on him"
"Have you spell bounded?" he asked, chuckling.
"Don't fly high..."
"This is not an answer to my question" he waited.
"mmm"
"What mmm?"
"You made me spellbound"
"Really?"
"Mmmm"
"From when?"
"When you laid by your stomach..."
"Oh, God... I have missed doing that before. I would have done that if I had known it makes difference in you"
"Mmm... you look handsome"
"Thanks"
"You are welcome"
"Khushi..."
"Mmm?"
"Don't you think prizing me openly can make me haughty?"
"You are talking like, I'm the first person who is prizing you... (She paused) tell me, didn't anyone prize you ever before?"
"It's different"
"How? People prized you... it didn't make you haughty. Then why now?"
"Who said it don't make me haughty? Ask the people who prized me. They will tell you how haughty I'm"
"Oh..."
"What do you think?"
"I think nothing... let me see how haughty you are"
"Don't you trust my words?"
"Will try to trust it"
"Trust me, Khushi. I'm really a haughty man"
"Ok, from here on, I won't prize you openly"
He looked at her slightly turning his head.
"Are you sure?"
"Damn sure... I don't like haughty men and I won't like to prize them. Remember that. So, be a nice man."
She sat on the bed. Arnav clutched her hand.
"Leave my hand, you, haughty head"
"Why won't I be haughty? The girl who I loved the most told me handsome... so, it's obvious if I feel proud"
"It doesn't mean you should show your haughtiness to the girl herself"
"When did I tell you that I will show my haughtiness to you? I just told you I will become haughty. That's all"
"I don't mind if you show your haughtiness to me. I know how to treat the haughty man"
"How?"
She pinched his cheek and Arnav hissed.
"This is how..."
"What the..."
Khushi chuckled and was about to say something, they heard a knock on the door. They looked at each other jerking.
"Let me check," she said.
"Wait... I will check"
Khushi went to the washroom, taking her clothes. Arnav got down from the bed and went to open the door. He saw Neerav standing at his doorstep.
"Neerav...? What happened?"
"I need to talk to you, Arnav"
"Come in..."
Neerav got inside.
"I don't know what's happening, Arnav," he said with confusion.
"What's the matter, Neerav? You look confused"
"What happened to Laila? She is doing things that she never did before..."
Arnav understood what made him worried. Everyone knows Laila, especially Neerav. It's obvious if he gets suspect on Laila, seeing her changed behavior because no one can change all of a sudden nor would do things politely.
"Why does she take care of mom? Something is terribly wrong, Arnav. She is planning something, I suppose. She is not a girl who has the patience to look after a patient. Don't we know her? She is pure poison. I think she is plotting something to harm us when you and Bhabi are not here. I'm not going to leave Mom's side until you come from London"
"She won't do anything..." Arnav said calmly.
"No, Arnav. You don't know her"
"I know her... better than you. She won't do anything"
"How could you say that confidently?"
"We will talk about it later. Not now"
"Is there anything to talk about her?"
"Mmm"
"What's that, Arnav?"
"I said we will talk about it later," Arnav said.
"Anything serious?"
"You will throw her out of your life for sure"
Now, Neerav became curious.
"What's the matter Arnav?"
"Ok... promise me you won't kick her out of RM until I say"
"But why, Arnav? Don't you know I have been waiting for a chance to throw her out of my life?"
"I know. But before doing that, we should make her feel bad for her deed. That's what Khushi is doing now"
Neerav understood that something is there.
"Ok. I promise. I won't take any action until you say. Tell me what she did"
"Cool yourself down and listen"
"Ok"
"She is the one who made Mom fall down"
"Whaaaat?"
"Yes... because of her, Mom got hurt"
"But why?"
"To stop Khushi from coming to London with me"
"How dare she...!" he gritted his teeth.
"She dares, of course..."
"How do you know?"
"Khushi has video evidence. She had captured it when Laila spilled coconut oil on the floor to make Mom fall down"
"Why didn't you tell me about it? Why did you guys hide it from me?"
"She made mom fall. Do you want us to leave her just like that? she should compensate for what she did. That's why we brought Garima aunty and Buaji here. They will take care of her. You just stay calm."
"What do you think, Arnav? Will she be controlled by aunty and Buaji?"
Arnav was silent.
"She won't be quiet and will try to tackle them"
"Then you take care of her. However, before going to London, I would have told you about what she did. Keep an eye on her"
"Send me the video"
"Will send you but not now"
"Arnav trust me. I won't lose my patience. I won't do anything without your consent."
"You can do anything without my consent if she does anything stupid. You don't have to wait for me if she does anything again. Just do what you want"
"Ok... now show me the video"
Arnav sighed.
"Wait"
Arnav brought his phone and showed him the video. Neerav's blood boiled while watching the video.
"What kind this woman is, Arnav?" Neerav asked wrathfully.
"Maybe... not a woman kind..." Arnav said calmly.
"Let me watch her moves. She will surely get caught" Neerav said.
Cutting him,
"Only if you are calm. Don't show you know everything"
Neerav sighed.
"I know it will be harder for you but you have no choice," Arnav said.
"I will be quiet only if you tell Dad about her" Neerav demanded.
Arnav sighed.
"Please Arnav. He has to know how cruel this Laila is. She is pretending as a good woman and Dad will definitely fall in her web. It should not happen. Being cautious is more important to Dad. Or else, that Anup will try to manipulate him using this chance"
Arnav wondered. Neerav is thinking so deeply about the issue. Of course, he is very much hurt by Laila and her father. Then why won't he be?
"Ok... I will speak to Dad" Arnav said.
"Thanks... send me the video," Neerav said.
Arnav nodded ok. Neerav left the place. Arnav closed the door. Don't know what Neerav is going to do. He saw Khushi coming out of the washroom, looking at his restless face. Arnav smiled at her.
"What happened Arnav? Why are you looking fidgety?" she asked worriedly.
"Could you read my face?"
She nodded yes.
"Even after I smiled?"
"You can't hide your real condition behind a smile"
"I had done that many times... no one found it out ever before"
Khushi was silent as she didn't know what to say.
"I think you are admiring me a lot... that's why you can find a difference in my face," he said teasingly.
She looked at him sarcastically.
Arnav chuckled.
"It seems you have decided not to prize me..." he asked.
"Unwantedly..."
"Do you think prizing me is unwanted?"
"Do something big. I will surely prize you"
"Marrying a woman who is a touch nut is not a big achievement?"
"Am I a touch nut?"
"Are not you?"
"in what sense?"
"You didn't agree to marry me easily..."
"If it's the matter, what about you? You never agree to marry anyone... then you are the biggest touch nut of the world"
"Let me be... I don't want to be cracked"
"But I did..." she said folding her hands.
"I can't understand one thing"
"What?"
"How girls change quickly?"
"Means?"
"You wear rigid till yesterday... and today, you are talking with me so causally..."
"What's your point?"
"A NIGHT can make such a difference?"
"It's not about NIGHT..."
"Then?"
"Leave it..." She threw the towel on the recliner.
Arnav blocked her way.
"Then? What it's about?"
"I have been taken a vow... I'm not going to prize you unwantedly"
"Is that about me?"
"Maybe..."
"Tell me now..."
"No..."
"Why?"
"You may become haughty"
"Do you think so?"
"Yes..."
"This is not fair"
"Think whatever"
"Tell me, Khushi"
"You can't crack the tough nut easily," she said pointing herself.
Arnav rolled his eyes smilingly.
"Do you think I can't get the answer from you?" he questioned.
"Try..." she left the place smilingly, leaving sighing Arnav.
