63 Suspicion
Part 63 Suspicion
Arnav could not understand why Khushi looked upset. Khushi was always thinking about Annapurna and her words. Though she was silent her mind got into a windstorm. She didn't know how to handle this and what to do to Annapurna.
In the kitchen,
Khushi was stirring the gravy that was on the stove. She was lost. She didn't even notice the milk that was about to overflow. Arnav saw that and turned the stove off hurriedly. Khushi looked at him bewildered.
"Khushi, what's the matter? Why are you looking lost?"
She nodded no and concentrated on the gravy. Arnav turned the burner off and made her look at him.
"What happened Khushi? You are looking dull..."
"Leave it Arnavji," she said wearily.
"Why Khushi?" he clutched her upper arms.
"You won't trust my words," she said, trying to remove his hands.
"Who's words would I trust other than you?" Arnav gripped her hands more.
She read his face and then nodded no.
"Khushi I know something is there for sure... tell me what's the matter"
Khushi sensed his anger raising.
"I... I heard Annapurna talking on the phone with her friend..."
"so?"
"She said, 'I like him very much'..."
"Don't you know Akash and Purna are the hot topics in our office?"
"She said, 'he is the only fetching man in our office'..."
"So what?"
"You are the only fetching man in our office," she said.
Arnav chuckled.
"Khushi, according to you, I'm the fetching man but not for everybody. Ask Lavanya, she will tell NK is fetching. It differs from person to person... she should have talked about Akash"
"If it is Akash, why would she say 'I will get him by hook or by crook? I will do anything to get him?"
"She should love him so much. That's why she should have told so..."
"No... she said, looking at YOU," she said looking at him firmly.
Arnav got stuck for a few seconds.
"I might have crossed her way when she said that," he said stammering.
Khushi left the kitchen and said nothing. Arnav followed her.
"Khushi, wait... what would I think if you leave like this?"
"I said you won't trust me. I'm right. You don't"
He made her sit on the couch and he sat next to her.
"Khushi, listen... we spoilt our beautiful days due to my misunderstanding. Please don't do the same. You know me. No one other than you are important to me. You are someone no one could get, Khushi. You are irreplaceable. Know your value..."
"More than my value, I know your value. That's what makes me scared. I need you Arnavji" her eyes tear up.
"What do you want me to do? Tell me..."
Khushi hugged circling his neck and cried.
"I don't know Arnavji... I really don't know what to do. I don't know what I'm thinking is right. But my heart tells me she is wrong"
Arnav caressed her back.
"Ok... she may be wrong but she can do nothing with us... no one can. You should understand that. You should be strong. Don't get weaker. You are Khushi... Khushi Arnav Singh Raizada... a warrior who melted a stone called Arnav struggling a lot. Don't get weaker because of a woman's useless words, Khushi. If she is a woman with a bad intention, she will face hell. Please, stop worrying"
Khushi tightened the grip around his neck getting emotional. Arnav broke the hug and wiped her cheek.
"Come on, go and take bath. We will have dinner" he pecked her forehead.
"I don't want to have dinner"
"Khushiiii... won't you listen to me?"
"Let's take bath together..." she said clutching his caller, making him stuck.
He tilted his head and smiled. She gestured for him to pick her up. Arnav gathered up her in his arms and pressed his lips on her cheek strongly. She circled his neck. They took bath together. Of course, they had a gathering but Khushi dominated Arnav unusually. It made him surprised as well as thoughtful.
Khushi brought the dishes to the dining table. Arnav dragged Khushi on his lap and started feeding her. Khushi ate it. After finishing eating, Khushi tried to get down from his lap. Arnav pressed her shoulder and made her sit again.
"Won't you feed me?" he asked.
Khushi fed him silently.
"I want a smile"
"Are you going to eat my smile?" she asked.
"I don't eat your smile but I'm breathing through your smile..." he said and it touched her heart.
Khushi touched his forehead with hers emotionally.
"I'm sorry, Arnavji... I..."
"Shhhh... I understand. Leave it to me... I will take care of it. ok?"
"Ok..."
Though Khushi said OK Arnav sensed her suffocating. She slept on his chest. Arnav was caressing her hair even after she slept. He didn't get sleep because he was disturbed. He knew Khushi. She was not a girl who suspected her husband for no reason. Now also she didn't suspect him but was suspecting someone. She should be right. She won't get anything into her head. She handled Shreya smoothly even when he was not on good terms with her.
Arnav made her lay down on the bed and came out of the room without making a noise. Taking his mobile, he dialed Aman. Aman frowned, seeing Arnav's number as Arnav never called him in the late hours.
"Hello, ASR..."
"Hi, Aman..."
"Is everything alright?"
"I can't come to the conclusion whether everything is alright"
"Anything serious?"
"It will get serious if I missed to sort it out"
"Do you want me to do anything regarding it?"
"Yes... I want your help... because I don't know anyone in Mumbai other than you"
"Tell me what do you want"
"I want to know about Annapurna"
Aman frowned.
"Annapurna?"
"Yes... her activities make Khushi insecure. I want to prove who she is."
"But why?"
"If she is wrong, I will show who I'm. if she is right, Khushi will be relaxed"
"Ok... I will update you about her as soon as possible"
"Please, hint Akash about her... ask him to be careful because I don't think Khushi's assumption can be wrong"
"Sure... I will take care of him"
"Thank you, Aman"
"My pleasure yaar..." Aman disconnected the call and immediately dialed Victor. He attended the call.
"Hello, Aman sir"
"Follow Annapurna..."
"Ok..."
Aman wondered. He thought Victor will ask for her details but he didn't
"Do you know her?"
"Yeah... didn't I say Arnav sir saved a girl from a rough a week ago and she hugged him in front of Khushi madam?"
"Is that girl Annapurna?"
"Yes... that time, I didn't know her name. After that, I got to know"
"Did you know her house?"
"Yeah... Arnav sir and Khushi madam went to her house to drop her off one day. I followed them"
"ohhh... ok, follow her... tell me if you find anything suspicion"
"Sure..."
They disconnected the call.
Aman became attentive. Did Annapurna hug Arnav...? Why? Could not she hold herself? So what if she was sensitive? Even though she was sensitive how could she hug a married man, that too, in front of his wife? It didn't make sense. Aman decided to wait for Victor's update.
To be continued...
