Part 29 Frustrated Arnav

Khushi smiled at Anjali and Shyam. Anjali gestured to Khushi not to smile, seeing Koyla coming out of the kitchen. Khushi came to the composure and made a stern face.

*Who are you? Whom do you want to meet? * Khushi asked them, showing like she doesn't know them.

*May I know who YOU (Anjali stressed) are? *

*I'm Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada...Arnavji's wife* Khushi said with attitude.

*Whaaaat! Are you Chotte's wife? * Anjali asked.

*Chotte...? I said I'm Arnavji's wife...* Khushi said.

By now, Arnav reached them. He looked horrified. Khushi looked at Arnav.

*See, here he is... he is my husband* Khushi smiled.

*Chotte...* Anjali started...

But, before she asked him anything, Arnav clutched Khushi's hand and dragged her with him to their room. Khushi was perplexed by his unexpected action.

*Arnavji... where are you taking me? * she asked while climbing the stairs.

*Chotte... stop... why are you doing this? * Anjali followed them shouting. Shyam also went with her upstairs.

Arnav pushed Khushi inside their room gently and locked the door from outside.

*Arnavji... open the door...* she banged on the door.

Anjali came there with a horrible expression, couldn't understand her brother's action.

*Chotte... what are you doing? Who is the girl? She said she is your wife...she looks exactly like...*

Arnav did cut her stance before she completed, Khushi looks like who.

*If she said she is my wife; she must be my wife* he said gritting his teeth.

*What the hell are you saying, Chotte...? How could you marry her without even letting us know? She asked him.

*Now you got to know...right...? Just leave it*

*How could we leave you just like that? * Anjali asked him.

*Di... please don't mess my life... just leave the place* he shouted.

*Chotte... are you asking me to leave? I won't... I won't leave the place without you*

*With me...? It will never happen*

*Why Chotte? Why won't you come with us to RM? *

*RM...? Di, please try to understand what I want...*

*Chotte, whatever it is, if you would have told us that we would have got the girl married to you...*

*No need... I had already married to her...*

*How...? How did you marry her...? What ritual you performed? *

*Di, please stop the nonsense... you very well know I don't believe in such useless rituals...*

*What about the girl? Doesn't she want her marriage to happen with rituals? *

*Di, stop it... just stop it... I said we are already married...*

*This is not done Chotte... what harm if you get married to her with rituals? Do it for her if not for us... because the world will not accept your marriage*

*Di, she is my wife and she accepted me as her husband... I don't think there is anything needed more than our acceptance*

*No Chotte... you are wrong...*

*What the hell is wrong with you Di? I got married...I'm living my life with my wife... why are you troubling me now? *

*Don't you think you would be happy with your wife in RM? What do you think of us, Chotte? We too are concern about your happiness... just think of the truth that you are hurting us*

*Di, understand that you are also doing the same with me*

Taking a long sept, Anjali reached him and cupped his face.

*Do you think I would ruin your happiness? * she asked with teary eyes.

Arnav gulped down. He never wanted to hurt his Di but the circumstance led him to do it now.

*Di, try to understand...*

Cutting him,

*Why won't you understand that your Di will do anything for your betterment? *

Arnav took a deep breath.

*What do you want me to do? * he asked.

*Come to RM...*

*Ok... we will come tomorrow*

*Chotte...*

Cutting her,

*Please Di... neither I nor Khushi prepared for this situation... she needs time... hope you understand*

*Then we will be with you here... will you allow us to stay here tonight? * she questioned.

Arnav rolled his eyes. He knew Anjali doesn't trust him.

*We will be in the guest room...*

She looked at Shyam.

*Let's go...* she gestured him to come with her.

Arnav stood all disappointed. He opened the door and got inside their room. Khushi was sitting on the bed, biting her nail. She rushed to him.

*Arnavji, who are they? Why did you lock me in the room? * she asked.

*She is my Di...*

*Di? But...*

*She is here to take us to RM...*

*Oh...*

*We are not going to go with them...* he said frustrated.

*Why...?*

*Khushi you don't know them... they must be here with a plan*

*What plan? *

*they will send me to the hospital and will lock me there in the name of treatment...* he punched the wall not caring about the pain.

Khushi was horrified. She held his hand and examined whether he got injured.

*Why are you hurting yourself, Arnavji? * she asked worriedly.

Arnav tried to pull his hand off but Khushi gripped it tightly.

*Why would they send you to the hospital? What's wrong? Even though if they try, I will never allow them to send you to the hospital...*

*Khushi, you can do nothing, going against them...*

*But you can...*

*No, they will admit me to the hospital at any cost...*

She cupped his face.

*Arnavji, trust me... I won't let them do that...*

*Khushi try to understand... you don't know them... they did the same with me already...*

*I said I will not allow them to do that*

*Khushi, know their intention. They will separate you from me...*

*But, I won't go leaving you, Arnavji...*

*Khushi do you want me or my family? * he asked terribly.

*Of course, you...*

*Then do what I say...*

*But, Arnavji...*

*Khushi you have no idea what I went through... I really got a little hope in our relationship recently. Please don't make me disappointed... I will go to any extent to keep our relationship alive... and I will kill any relationship to do that* he was serious when he uttered that.

*Arnavji, why are you so scared? *

*Of course, I'm scared like hell... I just don't care about anything but you... ONLY you...*

*Of course, I'm with you... I will be...*

Arnav closed his eyes, tightening his jaws.

*Don't you trust me? * She asked.

Arnav was silent and also restless.

*So, you don't trust me... right? *

Arnav walked out not answering her.

Arnav went to the kitchen.

*Bring our dinner to our room and ask Di and Jeejaji to have dinner* he ordered Koyla and went back to his room.

Koyla brought them dinner and also asked Anjali to have it. Anjali didn't deny it. She wanted to take them to RM... for that, she shouldn't create scenes for silly things. It may ruin her plan.

Khushi ate silently. She didn't look at Arnav and Arnav noticed it. He knew she is upset with him for not telling her that he trusts her. He can't say he trusts her. If he tells, she will demand him to take it to RM. It should not happen. If it happens, then he can't implement his plan.

Arnav again came downstairs to know whether Anjali had dinner or not. He came back to the room after knowing that they had dinner.

Arnav locked the door and came to the bed. Khushi was standing near the window, looking at him. Arnav's legs got rooted at the same place, seeing Khushi's mangle sutra on his pillow. He was furious like hell. How could she do that? He walked to her with anger.

To be continued...

Arnav was on cloud nine

Arnav reached Khushi with a double-quick step and clutched her upper hand wrathfully.

* What have you done Khushi? Why the hell are you doing like this? Just yesterday you kept fast for me... And today, you have removed the mangal sutra... What's the use of your fasting then, Khushi? is this what your respect for our relationship? Tell me, damn it...* he yelled.
