Chapter 8

[MEMBERSONLY]

PART - 8

Once inside the room, Arnav hugged Khusi and captured her lips for a passionate kiss. Finally breaking the kiss, Arnav asked Khusi, if she would wear what he chooses for her. Khusi nodded positively as she was not able to speak because of the sense numbing kiss that they had shared. Arnav choose a beautifully embroidered red saree along with matching jewellery. He asked Khusi to dress inside the wardrobe, while he change in the bathroom. When Khusi came out fully dressed, Arnav's mouth was left hanging. He took predatory steps towards Khusi but before he could reach her, the trance was broken by the shrill ringing of his phone. Cursing the person he took the call, signalling Khusi that he would finish the call soon.

Both of them came down and NK who was sitting in living room informed them that Payal and Akash had already left. And Anjali has summoned the doctor as Shyam is very sick. To Khusi's confused look NK narrated his prank that he had played to which Khusi made her trademark O-shaped mouth. Arnav and Khusi left for GH. Reaching Laxminagar, Arnav parked his car and cupping Khusi's face said: "Khusi Take care of yourself. Though I don't want you to leave you here, but still have to do as Nani has told to. Dont listen to the rubbish anyone says you. Answer them back. If you have any problem, just give a call, I will be there as soon as possible. Okay"

Khusi: "Arnavji, I don't have my phone. I lost it yesterday while going to the Mandir. I don't know where it fell."

Arnav: "It's okay Khusi. No need to worry." He reversed his car and at the next moment they were out of Laxminagar.

Khusi: "Arnavji, where are we going. I need to go to Buaji's house. Why are you taking me back?"

Arnav: "Keep quiet Khusi. Stay silent for some time."

Khusi muttered "laad governor" and sat silently while Arnav smiled at her.

Arnav stopped the car before a Cellphone showroom and went inside leaving a confused Khusi in the car. He came back in 15 minutes and handed Khusi a brand new cell.

Arnav: "Here is your phone with new sim. I have asked Aman to block that old sim of yours. I have feed my number along with other important numbers."

Khusi smiled at his concern for her and nodded. Reaching Gupta house, Arnav kissed her forehead asking her to take care of herself. Khusi got off from the car and went inside GH. Seeing her gone inside, Arnav left.

Reaching GH, Khusi saw her parents along with Buaji and Payal sitting on the sofa. She called out to her Amma. Hearing her voice the Gupta's looked up to her with disgust.

Buaji angrily came to her and barked making Khusi shiver: "What the hell are you doing here? Didn't you insult us enough yesterday that you are back to insult us some more? We had told you yesterday itself that we have no relation with you? Then why are you here?"

Garima: "We told you na, that we have no relation with you, then why are you here?"

Khusi: "Amma, Buaji let me explain."

Payal: "Explain what Khusi?? EXPLAIN WHAT?? That how you made Arnavji fall for you and get married to you. First by your charms you trapped Shyamji but then seeing that Arnavji is more richer and younger than Shyamji, you bewitched him by your charms.."

Khusi was in total shock by the allegations that Payal was putting on her. In a shocked state she could only whisper "Jiji, what are you saying.."

Payal: "What I am saying?? I am saying the truth. Why would a man like Arnav Singh Raizada want to marry someone like you? Before some days he was supposed to get engaged to Lavanyaji, but what happened all of a sudden that he broke his engagement with her. And the man who doesn't believe in marriages eloped and got married. I am sure you are the reason. You did something which separated them. You would have thought that if you get married to him, then you can enjoy yourself both with Arnavji and Shyamji. Isn't it?"

Khusi had gone numb by hearing Payal. She was standing like a statue with tears flowing like river from eyes.

Payal: "Tell me Khusi, what you said to Arnavji that he married you all of a sudden. Did you sleep with and tell him that you have conceived his baby or did you.."

Payal's mouth came to a sudden halt, when she heard someone roaring her name. Looking at the door they saw Arnav standing, eyes red in anger and his nose breathing fire. Arnav after dropping Khusi, just had drove a few meters saw that Khusi has left her phone, he came back to hand over the phone to Khusi, when he heard Payal harassing Khusi by her words. Finally not able to take it anymore the lion in him roared, making everyone in GH shiver in fear.

Arnav came forward and took Khusi in his arms. Khusi feeling a known touch looked up to him and whispered "Arnavji". Arnav wiped away her tears and assured her. "Sshh.. Khusi. Don't cry. I am here."

Turning towards the Guptas he angrily roared: "How dare you all shout at my wife. You all don't have any right to shout at her. And Payal how could you say those things to her?? I am warning you; if once more you dare to raise your voice against my wife, you will face hell."

Buaji: "If you don't want us to shout at your so called wife, then ask her not to show her face to us ever again. To us you will always remain Payalia's jethji, but we have no relation with this girl."

Arnav: "Now that you have acknowledged me you dearest Payalia's jethji, then keep it in your mind very well that Khusi is her Jethani. Make sure she behaves properly and respectfully with her jethani, or else that will be her last day in RM." He cuddled up Khusi for a minute and kissing her forehead said: "Come Khusi, let's go this place is not worth for you."

Buaji: "Wait.. before you go, ask your wife to take all her belongings from here. We don't want any single item of her here."

Arnav: "She doesn't need anything from here. Do whatever you want with those things."

Khusi: "Arnavji, I need to take my belongings from here."

Arnav: "But Khusi.."

Khusi: "There are certain things which have my parent's memories. I don't want them lying around here. Please Arnavji.."

Arnav looking at the pleading face of his wife agreed. He asked her to gather her belongings while he waited in the living room. Khusi went into her room to her things while Buaji shouted at her back, "take all your belongings, we don't want any bad omen in our house." , making Arnav give another hate look to them.

Khusi came with her dress tied up in a bundle with the help of one of her dupatta and a paper bag which seemed to contain some papers. She looked at the Guptas and left with her husband without uttering a word to them.
