Chapter 41

Part 38

Finally, the engagement ceremony came to end. The guests already dismissed from the mansion by giving their best wishes for the newly couples. Everyone was present to celebrate the evening except Arnav Singh Raizada who left right on the time once the ring exchanged. No one knew where he been. Anjali and Tanuja tried to call him but it was out of reachable. However, Aman came in during the critical moment and saved the situation. He lied that Arnav had to attend an important meeting which needed his immediate action. Whereas, they seem satisfied with the reason and started to enjoy the party.

It was already midnight and everyone was resting in their room. While, Khushi was the only one awake for time being. She couldn't able to sleep nor was she able to cry. She been crying for hours in the bathroom and now her tears seems dried. She laid on the bed in the pajama and tee. Her hand stared the diamond ring which adored on her finger. She knew all that happened was wrong but how was she able to stop it? The family was cheering for the day and she couldn't able to ruin their happiness even she realized she was ruining her own life and so does Arnav.

The shirk silence in the large room been disturbed by the phone call. Khushi glance the caller ID which was none other than Arnav. She knew her next step would probably hurt him. But now, she needed to create distance from him. Their paths are different..

The called had been cut..! Just after few seconds, her mobile ring again.. And yet again she disconnected the call.. It keep happening for next few minutes before she received an text message instead of a call..

I'm waiting outside.. If you didn't come out in two minutes then I'm coming inside to meet you..'

It would be a lie if Khushi wasn't afraid with his text and the warning it carried. She went near the window and saw the white Honda parked at the gate of Malhotra resident. She started to pace in her room with her hands trembling in fears.. If Arnav come inside then a war might occurred and if she went outside to meet him then an confrontation would take place.. She didn't want to meet him now. She need some time to make herself ready before talking with him.

Khushi grabbed her iphone and dialed his number. It been answered just in one ring.

Khushi: "Arn - ..." been interrupted..

Arnav(Serene voice): "You coming out or you want me to come in..?"

Khushi: "Arnav listen.. I.."

Arnav: "I SAID IN OR OUT..?!!" He didn't yell at her but yet his voice was sharp enough to make her acknowledge that he wasn't in the mood to mess with.

Khushi: "I'm coming.." She was almost whispering but yet it was able for his ears to hear.

He waited in the car for her arrival. And there he saw her running out just in her pajama and a sweater covering above her tee. She looked behind before she jumped in his car. Indeed she was looking angry at him..

Khushi: "Now tell what you wanted to talk..?" He didn't even give a chance for her to relax. The White Honda drove away from the resident. Khushi was already shocked beyond words.. "Where are we going..? Where are you taking me..?" She yelled at him as he was looking extremely mad. His eyes and face was red.. She could smell some odd scent from him.. NO NO.. Her brain mourned.. "Arnav you are drunk..?" She almost screamed but that didn't even affected the man beside her..

Arnav: "Put your seat belt.."

Khushi: "Huh..??" She wasn't expecting that from him.. But the way he was driving make her realized she really need the seatbelt or else she would have jumped out from the window if he brake the car suddenly. Khushi hold the seatbelt tightly with her eyes opened widen then she shut in fears.. He wasn't even bothering the way he was driving and the way he slipped here and there between the other vehicles. "Arnav please stop the car.." She pleaded.. But there were no reply from his end..

The more she pleaded the more wild he drives. Khushi already shivering on the seat. She closed her eyes as she didn't want to see the scene happening in front of her. She felt her live already on her throat. It just needed one wrong move before it collapses lifeless. The sudden horn of the car in front popped Khushi eyes. She looked at the car which was coming at their way and Arnav who was looking calm..

Khushi: "Ar - nav move the car.." She shouts but he wasn't putting attention on her words. He wasn't even bothering on her pleads. Khushi burst into tears and started to hit his body.. "Arnav pleaseee..."

Arnav: "That's how I felt when I saw you getting engaged with someone else..!! The fear the pain the shuttered was the same I felt when I saw my life been snatched in front of me.." Khushi had no words to confess as she already trembling badly. The opposite vehicle already nearing them. Quickly, she hide her face behind Arnav's arms with her fingers digging nails on his forearms.. If she going to die today she don't want to see her death in front of her eyes..

Few second passed and there were pin drop silent. Her body wasn't aching in pain and she could felt she didn't even move from the seat and the arm she was holding didn't even flinch. Khushi carried her gaze and found no car coming on their way.. She looked around and turns to meet Arnav, who purposely did that to make her scared..!!

Khushi: "Stop the car- I said STOP THE CAR ARNAV..!!" She screamed .. Whereas, he just ignored her words.. He won't stop the car before it reach at the destination.

The white Honda halted at the big bungalow when the gate had been opened by the security. Arnav came out from the driver seat and moved towards the passenger side. He opened the door and dragged Khushi out who already start fighting as she didn't want to follow him inside. Well, her strength was nothing comparable to the strength of a man. He lifted her on his shoulder giving her the opportunity to hit his back. The pain that she was causing on his body was nothing when it comes to the pain she chanted on his heart.

Khushi been throw on the couch and the doors been closed from outside.. There were no ways for her to escape. Arnav was seating at the bar probably making his drinks.. Khushi's eyes scanned the entire place. The place look new to her.. She had never been here. The interior designs and the furniture's looked classics.

Meanwhile, she realized she had to do something to run from here. No one at home been informed about her absent. She didn't want to create any issues with her brother who would have make the guards life hell if he wasn't able to locate her.. That would make the situation worst than before. Khushi took out her mobile with her eyes still looking at the back of Arnav. She started to type a quick message to Aman and just described the place little as she had no idea where Arnav bought her.. Aman might know better..

The moment Arnav turned to meet her eye, hurriedly Khushi hide the mobile.. But yet she sighed because the messages already deliver. Aman might reach here by the time he read the text.

Each steps that Arnav took to erase the distance between them was making Khushi scared as she could see he was unbuttoning his shirt.. What is he going to do..?

Khushi narrowed her body on the couch tried to make her body small from his touch. Her eyes already moist.. Today she wasn't able to recognize the man in front of her.. He wasn't the same..

Arnav kneeled on the ground with his eyes looking sharp in hers. His shirt was still hangings on his body with the buttons were left opened. He gripped her wrist tightly forcing her to meet his eyes.

Arnav: "You are such a big LIAR..!!" He said sternly.. "Why you did this to me? Why you are pushing me away from you? Khushi why..? WHY DAMN IT..??" He shouted suddenly making her jerk on her seat. He raked his free hand on his hairs trying to stay calm but yet it wasn't possible. "Did you know how much you hurt me..? You had no idea!! I'm dying over here just because of you..!" Khushi looked at him before she cupped his cheeks.

Khushi: "Arnav.."

Arnav: "Don't do this to me.." His eyes moist..

Khushi: "Nothing can be change. . . You have Krystal now. . . You have to forget me.." He looked deep in her eyes..

Arnav: "Forget..?" He whispered almost like trying to study the word.. "Then how should I remove this from my body..?" The shirt been dragged a bit down letting Khushi to see the tattoo written Love Khushi on his forearm. Khushi's eye popped out in shocked.. Her trembled hands move to touch the designs that were drew on his skin. She had tears in her eyes.

Khushi: "Why you did this..?"

Arnav(Cupping her cheeks): "Because I love you.. I love you so much Khushi.." She waved his hands and stood up a bit far from him..

Khushi: "This is not the way of showing love Arnav..!!" She screamed due to un-satisfaction she felt for his action..

Arnav: "So you were trying to say your way was right..? You manipulated everything..! Who gives you the rights to take decision behalf of me..? Speak up..!" He roared like a hungry lion.

Khushi: "It's your mother's wish Arnav.." Her chest started to move up and down..

Arnav (Rage-fully): "My mother's wish die along with her.." Khushi was taken back with the selection of his words..

Khushi: "Ar-..."

Arnav: "No.. You listen to me. . . I admit I loves my mother more than anyone in this world.. I wanted to do everything I'm capable to do for her.. But this wish of her I'm not able too.. I don't have the strength to give you to someone else.. My mother is a history but you are my future Khushi.. She will understand why I disobeyed her wish Because I love you Khushi.." Arnav walked near her and cupped her cheeks. "Let's stop all this.. I can't take this anymore.." He pleaded to the lady he loves.

Khushi: "We can't.." Her voice was slow as she was recalling the events.. "Did you saw how much happy were they? I can't break their hearts.."

Arnav: "Then what about my heart..? Don't you bother..?" She put her hands on top of his palm which he used to cup her cheeks.

Khushi: "Please try to understand.."

Arnav: "I can't.. I just not able to understand.. Why you are playing this game..? It hurts me DAMN IT..!!" Khushi could see the pain that he was undergoing but she not able to stop the mishaps. She can't be selfish. Arnav might not bother about his mother's wish. And at the same time, Khushi don't have the strength to hurt her own family. They had put a lot of hopes and she can't snatch that due to her selfishness.

Khushi: "Once the time passed everything will be alright.. Krystal will always make you happy.." That was enough for Arnav to tolerate her so call nonsense. He was trying to mend the situation and here Khushi wasn't even coming out of it..

Arnav (Angrily): "To hell with her..!! I don't care about her.. It's final, I'm not going to marry her. So stop this bullshit..!" He eyed her once he turns to walk away.. However, he been stopped by her words..

Khushi: "Do whatever you want because I'm not going to stop my marriage.." His legs glued on the ground.. Her words hurt him brutally.

Arnav (turning to meet her): "Then what about the vows we took together..? It stands for no value?" Khushi gulped.. The words echoed in her ears.. The vows were still fresh.. "Don't tell me you already forget them too.."

Khushi: "I need to leave.." Hurriedly, she marched her steps toward the door but unfortunately she been gripped by him from behind.

Arnav: "I'm not done yet.." His fingers printed the red marks on her skin letting her hiss in pain.. "Your stubbornness will cause you a lot Khushi.." He started to drag her..

Khushi: "Arnav leave me..!!" She screamed for mercy..
