36 Daring Khushi
Part 36 Daring Khushi
Khushi lifted baby Khushi.
"Mummy, you came..."
"Have not you worn your uniform yet? I thought to take you to school today" Khushi said, not looking at Sheetal.
"Haiya... jolly... I will get ready"
"Ok, go" Khushi put her down.
Baby Khushi ran to her room. Khushi looked at Sheetal who was seething.
"You would have been surprised, seeing me alive..." Khushi said sarcastically.
Sheetal looked at Arnav, gulping down.
"The men you sent are not powerful to the extent to kill us. What do you think? Would everything happen as per your wish? Do you know from where I'm coming?"
She paused for a while.
"Just filed a complaint in the police station about the attack"
Sheetal was horrified whereas Arnav smirked.
"You know what, I was hesitant to even talk to Arnav because he is married... but now, I have no hesitation because you are worse than anyone in this world. So, no mistake of mine will be equal to yours. I and Arnav are going to get married soon. Do what you can. Each and every step you take to stop us will erase the distance between us. I mean it..."
Sheetal was about to say something,
"I'm here...standing at your place... it's because of you. How dare you try to kill us? Do you think you can kill us just like hitting a mosquito? Police will come to your house to enquire you. Deal with them. From today onwards, Arnav is the one who is going to drop me home...If you try to stop him, he will stay at my place permanently... mind it..."
Khushi looked at Baby Khushi who came with her school bag.
"Shall we go?"
Baby Khushi nodded ok happily.
"Let's go, Arnav," She said.
Arnav nodded ok and walked with her. Sheetal stared at them, could not believe that.
Arnav started the car. Khushi sat on the passenger seat, taking baby Khushi on her lap. Arnav smiled at her.
"Is it true?" he asked.
"What?"
"Have you filed a case in the police station?"
Khushi nodded no and Arnav chuckled.
"You have guts"
"When we are pushed to the edge, showing our guts would become the only choice to us"
"That means, you need a PUSH?" he asked teasingly.
"Sometimes, yes" She countered.
"Be careful. She may do anything"
"Mmm"
"Does Sumi know where would you go?"
"Yup... he knows. I came only after telling him"
"Then, how did he let you go alone?"
"It's because you are there"
Arnav smiled.
"Sumi is better than anyone... he trusts me more than anyone," Arnav said smiling.
Khushi knew that ANYONE was none other than HER.
"Because of that ANYONE only, Sumi trusts you. If that ANYONE was not there, how does Sumi know about you?"
"So, what that ANYONE is going to do now?" Arnav asked, driving the car smilingly.
"What that ANYONE could do?"
"Anything can do..."
Khushi gave him a sidelong glance who was smiling.
"STOP SMILING," She said, and that broadened Arnav's smile.
He knew she could not stand his smile. She used to say that when they studied in college. Especially, when they fought because Arnav easily consoled her with his one smile and Khushi easily gave up her anger for his smile.
Both of them remembered that and smiled. They reached the school, all the way smiling at one another.
Khushi went to her class with Baby Khushi. After the assembly, Arnav called Khushi and Lavanya to his room. They saw Manju already present there.
"I'm going to appoint the third-gender people today. Before that, I want you to work on it." Arnav said.
They nodded ok.
"Students need counseling regarding it. They should behave with them respectfully. That is what we have to teach them. I know you guys will do that better"
"Sure sir," Lavanya said.
Manju nodded yes.
"Manju Di will deal with 11th and 12th classes and Lavanya will deal with 9th and 10th. Khushi, you deal with 7th and 8th"
They nodded ok.
"Your classes will be combined for the next hour. You can be counseling the student"
"Ok, sir"
Khushi. Lavanya and Manju went to the classes assigned to them. A few students responded to them nicely and a few uttered awful comments. They were students after all... but after the clear explanation, they understood.
The trio came to the meeting hall, finishing the task as Arnav had arranged a meeting. Arnav introduced Preethi and Vaishali to the teachers and staff. A maximum of them smiled at them formally. The remaining people didn't do that. Neither Preethi nor Vaishali cared about it.
Arnav led Preethi to the office and explained to her about her work.
"You can ask me if you have doubts," Arnav said.
Preethi nodded ok. Vaishali was assigned to take charge of a school bus.
Hotel the Paradise
Sheetal came to the hotel room and slapped Sarath hard. He stood clutching his cheek.
"Can't you do anything perfectly? Khushi is still alive... she came to my house daringly and challenged me. Shame on you..."
"You should have known about them thoroughly before hitting them. That Suman is a brown belt in Karate. If you had told me about it, I would have sent trained fighters to finish them. Adding to it, you said, they should know who killed them and why they die. Or else...."
"Or else, what? What would have you done?"
"They would have killed them without wasting time on declaring Suman and Khushi that who sent them"
"How do I know a transgender could be a brown belt in karate? I thought he would be a coward" Sheetal said wearily.
"You always underestimate people"
"What about you? Why didn't your brain work? Did it go on vacation?"
"I thought you would plan perfectly. How do I know you would act in haste?"
"Stop talking and leave. Or else, I will kill you"
"Relax... we will find a way"
"Shut up... she filed a case in the police station, on me."
"So what? We will prove we are not involved in it"
"How could we do that?"
"I have sent them out of the station. They won't come to Lucknow for the next six months. Then how do they prove, it's you who sent them?"
"Can't police chase them?"
"They can chase them only if they went by bus or train but they went by vegetable truck... So, no one could chase them"
"Brilliant..."
"Leave the remaining to me. I will take care of them"
"Mmmm"
"Give me your car key"
"Where are you going?"
"My uncle is coming from Bangalore. I have to receive him. Will be back in two hours"
"Ok..." Sheetal threw the car key to Sarath. He left the place taking the key.
Evening
Arnav called Khushi. She attended it.
"Wait for me. I will drop you"
"No, need, Arnav"
"I said I will drop you" he disconnected the call.
Khushi sighed. She waited for him at the bus stand. Arnav came and stopped the car in front of Khushi. She sat in the car and warped herself with the seat belt.
"When will Sumi come from the office?"
"He should have come by now"
"Oh... then I can meet him if I come home..."
"Mmm"
"May I come?"
Khushi looked at him and said nothing.
"If you are not comfortable..." Arnav paused and looked at her.
"Then also, I will come..." he said, suppressing his laughter.
Khushi rolled her eyes.
"Sumi will give me biriyani if he is at home. But I won't ask you to make biriyani for me... just a cup of coffee is enough..."
Khushi said nothing but smiled.
They reached Khushi's home but the door was still closed.
"It seems Sumi has not come yet," Arnav said.
Khushi nodded yes.
"Why it takes time for him?"
"Don't know... maybe, he would have stuck in the traffic"
"Mmm"
Taking his phone, Arnav called Suman but his phone was switched off.
"His phone is switched off," Arnav said.
"But, he never switches his mobile off..." Khushi said nervously.
"Let's wait for a while"
Khushi nodded ok. Arnav waited for Suman. The time passed but Suman didn't come home.
To be continued...
