19 Arnav's Argument
Part 19 Arnav's Argument
Anjali's strong gaze followed Khushi but she didn't ask her anything as Nani manage the situation, telling her that she was not going to go to the temple in the evening. Arnav called the doctor and helped Manorama to go to her room. Khushi also went with him.
The doctor came and examined Manorama's leg.
"It's a simple sprain. Don't walk... be in bed and take rest everything will be alright" the doctor said.
"I thought to go to the temple in the evening," Manorama said.
"You can go to the temple after two days," the doctor said.
Anjali was observing Khushi who gulped down hard.
That was when Nani came there.
"No problem Manorama... however I'm not coming to the temple today" Nani maintained her statement.
"It's aching like hell..." Manorama hissed.
"Take rest... however you are not going to do any work" Nani mocked and left the room. Arnav and Khushi followed her.
"When did you come Chotte?" Nani enquired.
"Just now, Nani"
"What the Inspector said?"
"He permitted us to start our regular work from tomorrow"
"That's great... Do they find anything about the killer?"
"Not yet, Nani"
"Be careful, Chotta" Nani said worriedly.
Arnav nodded ok.
In the meanwhile,
Lavanya went to NK's room to meet Akash.
"Hi..." She smiled at him.
Akash nodded slightly.
"How are you feeling now?"
Akash again nodded, not looking at her.
"I brought it for you from the US" She extended a watch to him.
"I already have three watches. I don't want this one"
Lavanya was disappointed.
"I didn't even enjoy my US trip but was so excited to meet you..." she said sadly.
"Listen, Lavanya, I already told you, this won't work"
"But why?" She exclaimed.
"You are my friend's sister..."
"Loving friend's sister is not wrong but loving friend's wife is..." She chuckled.
"This is not funny. I am talking seriously... Arnav trusts me... that's why he brought me to RM and treated me like his own brother. I can't break his trust. Please leave this room..."
"You are talking, as if, no friend on the earth loves his friend's sister..."
"I don't care who loves his friend's sister... But I won't... Understand that..."
"Is this your decision?"
"My final decision"
Lavanya's eyes tear up.
"Why don't you understand I love you so much?"
"Lavanya please don't make me embarrassed. I don't think of you in such a way. I just can't. Please, find someone who understands you"
Lavanya left the room. Arnav saw her coming from Akash's room.
"Lavanya... what happened? What is that?"
"I bought a watch for Akash but he denied taking it from me"
"But why?"
"He said he already has three watches"
"So?"
"So, he didn't want it"
"Come with me" Arnav brought her back to Akash's room clutching her hand.
Akash saw them coming. He sat straight.
"Why did you deny taking this watch from her?"
Akash was silent.
"You are one among them. That's why she should have brought it for you... you are our family, Akash. Don't hurt her" Taking the watch from Lavanya's hand he stuffed it in Akash's hand.
Aakash closed his eyes helplessly.
"Thank you bhai" Lavanya hugged Arnav with a winning smile, looked at Akash, and left the place.
"How are you feeling now?" Arnav asked.
"I am good. Maa is coming from Varanasi tomorrow. I am leaving RM tomorrow"
"Oh, that's why you asked Nani Mathura aloo puri?" Arnav chuckled.
Akash nodded yes smiling.
"Go ahead," Arnav said and left the room.
That was when Arnav saw Shyam and Anjali fully ready.
"Hi, are you guys going outing?"
"We are going shopping," Shyam said.
"Oh..."
"Anjali's parent's thirtieth wedding anniversary is going to be held in Singapore next month. That's why we are going shopping"
"Oh... are you guys going to go Singapore?" Arnav asked excitedly.
"yeah..."
"That's great..."
"Bye..."
"Bhia, one minute..."
"What?"
"Let me ask if Khushi wants anything... could you bring it for her?"
"Yeah, sure..."
Arnav came to Nani's room. Khushi smiled at him.
"Khushi, do you want anything?"
"Means?"
"Bhai and Bhabi are going shopping. I will ask them to bring if you want anything"
"Oh... are they going shopping?" Nani asked.
"Yes, Nani. Bhabi's parent's wedding anniversary is going to be held in Singapore next month. To go to Singapore, they are going shopping"
"But, they won't go to Singapore" came from Khushi. She closed her mouth as usual, getting horrified.
At the same time, Anjali and Shyam entered the room. Arnav looked at them perplexed. Shyam frowned in confusion whereas Anjali became furious.
"Why did you say so? Can't you talk about anything pleasant? Would your mouth always utter unpleasant words?" Anjali shouted, making Khushi jerk.
That brought Anjana and Lavanya to Nani's room.
"Anjali wait... I will inquire her"
"There is nothing to inquire her. She said Manorama Aunty will not go to the temple. As she said, she is sitting in her room, breaking her leg"
Arnav looked at Khushi who was standing with teary eyes. He felt bad for her.
"Do you say, she said something that's why Mami fell down?" Arnav asked.
"Arnav, don't support her unnecessarily"
Arnav stopped her showing his palm.
"She says what she feels and it happens. What was her mistake in that?" he broke the egg.
That made a few faces change.
"Can't she just keep silence?" Anjali asked.
"Won't anything happen if she keeps silence?" he questioned her back.
"Arnav, you don't understand..."
"Bhabi, not everything would be unpleasant... Sometimes, it saves our life too"
"What do you mean?"
"Because of her, I'm alive today." Arnav broke the egg again.
"Whaaaaat? What are you talking about?" Shyam asked whereas Anjali was gazing at him.
"I was supposed to go to the client meeting. She asked me not to go. I didn't trust her. So, she locked me in the washroom and didn't let me go. I too was angry like hell at her for doing such mischievous. But, when I went to the office, it was completely messed up. I was targeted by the killers. If I had gone to the office... I would have gone..."
Everyone was shocked to the core. Did Khushi lock Arnav in the washroom and saved him from the killers?
"So, don't think everything will give only bad outcomes. Mami would have fallen down... Who knows, it would have happened to save her from something big..."
"It's my parent's thirtieth-anniversary function. She said we won't go to Singapore. How could you expect me to be optimistic, Arnav?"
"I don't have the answer to your question as of now..."
"From when did you start believing such things?" Shyam asked.
"From the time, she saved my life"
"Anjali, you don't have to worry about her words. Let's go shopping." Shyam said.
Anjali was silent.
"Let's go, Anjali... She is not God. Not everything she uttered will happen. Let's go" He started dragging her.
Anjali shrugged his hand off and sat on the couch. In no time, she fell on the couch, losing consciousness, making everyone panic. Khushi stood, spilling tears.
"Anjali... Anjali..." Shyam tapped her cheek but there was no movement in her.
"Chotte, call the doctor," Nani said.
Arnav removed his phone and again called the doctor. The doctor who was on the way to her home came back to RM again. Before the doctor reached RM, Anjali slowly opened her eyes. She looked depressed.
"What happened Anjali? Why are you losing your temper for silly things?" Anjana asked.
"I was so excited to go to Singapore..."
"Anjali, why are you taking her words seriously?" Shyam asked.
"Didn't Arnav say, what she says will happen?"
Shyam rolled his eyes.
"I will see, how it won't happen... we are going to go to Singapore... I will make it possible. Make my words" Shyam said.
"Shyam will take you to Singapore. You don't have to stop preparations. Go ahead" Anjana said.
Arnav was silently sitting. He said what he knew. Nani was suffocating like hell. What she didn't want to happen was happening in Khushi's matter. Everyone got to know about Khushi now. Didn't know where this was leading them.
The doctor arrived. She checked Anjali. Anjali ran her eyes in the room but Khushi was not there.
"Nothing to worry... it's about good news. You are pregnant" The doctor said.
Anjali looked at her shockingly... sweet shock. It's been twelve years since she was married to Shyam but not blessed with a child. She was in treatment for the last three years. Anjali's eyes poured uncontrolled.
"Doctor, we are planning to go to Singapore next month..." Shyam said.
Cutting him,
"No way... she should not fly in this condition." The doctor said.
Anjali looked at Arnav who was smiling at her, like, DID YOU GET YOUR ANSWER?
Anjali got down from the bed and came out searching for Khushi.
"Anjali, where are you going?" Shyam asked, walking with her.
Arnav also followed them. They didn't know what she was searching for. As she didn't find Khushi in the guestroom, she shouted,
"Khushiiiiii..."
"Khushi came out of the Pooja room hesitating. In no time, Anjali rushed to her and hugged her tightly, and said,
"I'm sorry..." making Khushi dumbfounded and Arnav smiled.
