13 Horrified Arnav
Part 13 Horrified Arnav
Arnav shouted from the washroom.
"Khushiiii"
He started banging on the door.
"Khushi I warn you... Just open the door. Or else, Khushiiiii" he pushed the door with his shoulder. Arnav was upset because it was a SLID door. It won't open easily if he pushed it. That was why Khushi chose her washroom to lock him.
"Arnavji, don't even try to break the door. I will lock this room door also. Not only that, but I will lock the main door also. No one is at home. Don't forget that. You should have to break two more doors then"
Arnav gritted his teeth.
"Khushi stop this nonsense. You don't know me. I just don't want to hurt you..."
Cutting him,
"I don't care if you hurt me... But, I don't open the door"
Arnav rolled his eyes. Taking his phone, he dialed security. But there was no signal on his mobile as it was a doomed washroom.
Arnav kicked the bucket angrily.
Khushi sat on the bed fearfully. What had she done? Just this morning she flaunted a lot about her blabbermouth. And now, she ended up locking Arnav in the washroom. She had no idea what he was going to do. He would kill her for sure. What would he think about her? He gave her shelter... Made her feel good with his cool behavior... Won't he think she took advantage? Whatever, she could not let him go. How could she let him go after knowing that he would get into danger? She was not going to care even if Arnav threw her out of RM. On the other side, Arnav kept on banging on the door. Khushi closed her ears tightly.
The time that never waited for anyone was running which made Arnav more furious. He never felt so helpless. A small country girl locked him in the washroom playing a silly prank. That irked him.
Opening the shower, he stood under the running water. He tried to cool his nerves down. He didn't want to hurt his guest. He was that furious no words could define.
After an hour, only Nani came to RM. Khushi rushed to her.
"Khushi Bitiya, did Chotte go to the office?"
"Naniji, I want to tell you something," she said panicking.
"Tell me Khushi bitiya"
"I locked Arnavji in the washroom," she said making face.
"Whaaat? Why Khushi Bitiya?" She asked with an unbelievable expression.
"You know about my Instinct right?"
Nani nodded yes.
"Arnavji was getting ready to go somewhere. As usual, I said 'don't go' in a flow. He was not ready to stop. I don't know what to do. Without any choice left, I locked him in the washroom" she bit her nail nervously.
Nani thought for a while and got ready to handle Arnav's wrath. Taking a deep breath,
"You go to my room. Don't come out until I call you"
Khushi nodded ok
"Shall I open him now? Or, he should be locked for some more time?"
"He can be out. He is out of danger now"
"Ok. You go"
"He is in the guest room's washroom"
Nani nodded ok. Khushi went to Nani's room. Nani walked to the guest room. She didn't hear any noise from the washroom. She opened the lock and looked inside. She saw Arnav sitting on the toilet seat, looking down, being wet. He raised his head, hearing the door opening sound. He saw Nani standing. He stood up, gazing at Nani. His LOOK itself told his uproar. He tightened his jaws with a sharp gaze.
Without saying anything he walked to his room. Nani didn't stop him. She didn't intend to talk to him. It won't be wise to talk to an angry young man in front of her. She knew it.
Arnav came to his room. Removing his suit, he threw it on the floor wrathfully. He had lost the hundred-million-dollar deal due to a silly girl's stupidity. She shattered his reputation... punctuality... prominence... everything... Just because of her superstition. Bloody hell...
He removed his wet clothes and got changed. Taking his car key, he left RM.
Nani saw him going. She let him go. He would understand when he got to know the truth.
Nani came to her room. She saw Khushi chanting a mantra, closing her eyes. She opened her eyes when Nani touched her shoulder.
"He must be angry..." Khushi said.
"He will understand..."
"That I know..."
"How?"
"I have seen many people getting angry with me when I utter something they can't believe. But, after some time, when they get to know the truth of my utterance, they regret not trusting me"
"I hope it will happen soon with Chotte," Nani said.
"He will," Khushi said confidently.
Nani nodded yes. She was glad Khushi saved Arnav. At the same time, she was restless about Khushi's prediction. What kind of danger it was? Was that a plot against Arnav? It seemed the pooja must be done as soon as possible. Thank God, Khushi was with her. She would save them anyhow. Nani thought.
On the other hand, Arnav was driving the car speedily. He didn't even attend to the calls that were continuously ringing as those were Aman and Akash's calls. He knew why they were calling him. They would be disappointed with him for not attending the client meeting. They were from Germany. That was the deal they had been waiting for for more than six months but today, when they came to AR, he didn't meet them. Being the CEO of the company, he was the one who should have presented there to welcome them. But he was still driving the car. What was there to hear? They would shout at him.
At one point he got irritated and attended Aman's call.
"Why the hell are you calling me again and again damn it? I'm on the way to AR. Wait for a while... then you can scold me leisurely... " He shouted as usual and disconnected the call.
As of now, Arnav reached AR. Arnav pressed the brake, in front of his office, bewildered. He saw the police in his office. Getting down from the car, he rushed in. He didn't find Aman and Akash in the office. The inspector came to him.
"What's happening here, Inspector?" Arnav asked.
"Some professional killers targeted you it seems..."
Arnav was horrified. Was not this sequence matched with what Khushi said? But how?
"Are they caught?"
"No... They escaped attacking your friends. They are admitted to the hospital now"
Arnav was more shocked.
"You should be careful until the killers are arrested, ASR..."
Arnav nodded yes.
The inspector extended the report file to him. Arnav signed in it.
"Give an off to your staff today. This office will be under our scan today"
Arnav nodded ok. The inspector left the place.
Removing his mobile, he dialed Aman.
"ASR, don't come to the office"
"Why?" Arnav asked as if he didn't know about the attack.
"They are not our REAL clients, ASR. They came to AR to kill you"
Arnav was thunderstruck.
"Thank God, you didn't come to AR... I can't even imagine what would have happened if you had come to AR"
"What happened?"
"First, go to RM then call me. We will talk later. Be careful. Don't know how many of them have been assigned to this. Please go ASR. This is not a time to fight but a time to be wiser... Please go back"
"ok...relax. where are you?"
"I and Akash are in the hospital"
"What happened to you?"
"They became tensed as you didn't show up. They threatened us by putting a gun on our foreheads and asked us to call you. When we tried your number, your phone was out of range. That made them more furious and attacked us..."
Arnav gritted his teeth.
"Who are they?"
"Don't know... They seemed a professional killer from some other part of India,"
"How is Akash?"
"He fainted, could not stand their punches"
"Take care"
"You too be careful ASR"
"Mmm"
Arnav disconnected the call.
Arnav was thoughtful. Who were they? Why did they target him? Were they his business rivals? If it was so, they would not have dared to hit him in his office itself. Then who the hell was they?
More than anything, he should know something else. The one who saved him from danger. How did she know the danger was surrounding him? Did she really predict it, or, she was one among them? No wonder Arnav suspected Khushi. He was not in the condition to trust anyone blindly. Life taught him such a lesson not to believe anyone.
To be continued...
