Chapter 49

- Recap

Khushi: "Arnav . . Wait.." She was about to step down from the bed but...

Arnav: "Don't you dare come down from that bed.. It won't take me a second to handcuff you. You better seat where you're right now!" He barked angrily.

Part 46

Khushi bite her nails while wondering what she should do now. She was aware that she already pissed off the man who just left the room few minutes ago. Arnav did try to protect his love and stand for the love mostly every time. Whereas, she did nothing to support him.. She believed that she and Arnav had different nature and different way of solving problems. He always gets whatever he wished no matter it was done with good or by showing aggression. And Khushi was totally opposite him. If he is the earth then she is the sky.

The knock on the door breaks Khushi's thought. She lifted her face to catch the human who just stepped in the room.

Maid: "Ma'am.. Here are your lunch and the medicines.." She kept the tray on the side table before walking out from the room.

Khushi: "Wait.." She called the maid immediately before she could disappear from her gaze.

Maid: "Yes, ma'am.. What can I help you?"

Khushi: "Can you please forward this note to Arnav?" She wrote her message on the piece of paper and folded it while giving to the maid. The maid nodded assuring Khushi that she would pass her note to Arnav Singh Raizada.

************

Arnav stood near the French window of his balcony looking at the green and well organized farm of his. Just few minutes back he was so angry and pissed off with Khushi who accused him selfish even when he was fighting for their love. He knew she still loved him. But her stubbornness was a real headache to tolerate with.

Suddenly, he turned side way when he saw the maid placed his juice on the table and passed him a small piece of paper that been folded already. He didn't ask anything from the maid but gesture her to leave. When he was alone he opened the note to read the content..

"I need my bracelet.."

The message that she left was short and direct. She forward what she want. But this time it wasn't that easy to pacify Arnav Singh Raizada. He had enough of her immature behaviour. She always precedence other's feeling before him. For a change he wanted to be a tough nut for her to break this time. No doubt he still loves her but that doesn't mean he would give up easily as he might feel pity on her.

After 10 minutes passed, he was again notified with another note. Arnav took the note and started to read ..

"We need to talk.. I'm waiting for you in the room."

This time she did write a bit long sentence then previous chit. And yet again Arnav didn't entertain her notes as she demanded. He put the notes aside while enjoying his juice at the balcony. The front view was much more entertaining than her message. And at the same time, he did think that she would give up if he didn't bother her. However, he underestimates her effort. The notes keep flying through the maid that been hired as Khushi Malhotra's post woman.

"Why you're not replying me?"

"For world sake, say something Arnav Singh Raizada!! You can't just ignore me like this!!"

"I'm getting tired with your silence.. Speak up DAMN IT!! Why can't we just have a normal talk??"

He couldn't count the numbers of paper he had received till now. There were many. He could feel that she was getting frustrated and annoyed with his silence. He wanted her to feel what he actually felt when she threw him away from her life like he was an used object.

Arnav stood up from the chair he was sitting for the past 30 minutes. He stretched his muscles before turning behind. His eyes narrowed as he wasn't expecting her to be here. He doesn't want to have any kind of face off with her as that would only make the situation look uglier.

Khushi walked nearing him with her mouth curving silently as she was cursing him in her heart. She stood in front of him with her eyes looking straight into his brown dazzling gaze. He looked calm that what she could define..

Khushi: "I was waiting for your reply.." She started with low pace. If it wasn't because of the warning he gave her earlier when they confronted in the morning, she wouldn't have send him all those notes and instead meet him face to face to solve their quarrel. "Did you read my notes?"

Arnav: "I did.." He answered lazily, showing his uninterested face.

Khushi turned her face on the other side as she was getting all fire up with his behaviour. And there she saw her notes that been smashed in a corner. She felt sad. She didn't expect him to treat her notes like this even when they were just a mare papers. Arnav saw what she had been looking at which lead him to break the silence.

Arnav: "That's how you threw me actually.." She looked into his eyes with her eyes turning moist.

Khushi: "You've the right to be angry on me.. BUT, that doesn't mean you can take my bracelet without returning back to me.. I need my bracelet..!" Suddenly, he smirked and followed by a big laughter that erupt the balcony premise. Khushi looked at him blankly. It took him few minutes before he could stop laughing like manic. From what she knew she didn't create any jokes then why the hell he was laughing like nothing???! She cursed beneath her chest..

Arnav: "Tell me one reason why you need that bracelet?" She looked at him without uttering a word. Even she had many reasons to give but she halted herself.

Khushi: "I need because that bracelet is mine.." She chooses an easy way.

Arnav: "Wrong! I'm the one who bought the bracelet.. That bracelet is not yours and can never be yours.. After this, I doesn't want you to ask me about the bracelet because I already trash the piece.." Khushi's eyes opened wide. She asked him again for a confirmation as maybe she heard him wrongly.

Khushi: "What??"

Arnav: "You heard me right Khushi.. The bracelet is no more..! NO MORE!!" He pressed the last word near to her face making her read his lips if in case she didn't hear him again.

But in that process Khushi pushed him through his chest. Non-stop tears started to make their way. She fell on her knees on the ground crying on her lose.

Khushi: "You're lying right??" Still she didn't want to trust him. As she knew that bracelet was not only important to her but also him.

Arnav: "I'm not lying.." Her teary eyes looked into his. While, seeing those eyes she could feel that he was actually lying. He wasn't even meeting her gaze and keep ignoring when she tried to look into his eyes. Khushi stood up on her feet and make him face her by cupping his cheeks.

Khushi: "I know that bracelet is with you.. You won't have the courage to trash the piece. You can't lie to me when it come to your love for me.. I admit that I did a mistake by neglecting you and imposing you for something you doesn't want. And for that I'll make up by myself. You just get ready to face me..!" She wiped her dried tears after leaving his cheeks. A smile adored on her face before she walked out from the balcony premise straight into her room.

Whereas, Arnav was standing at the same place even when Khushi already disappeared from his gaze. He sighed before walking in the house. Though, he needed to do some activity to get rid of his stress. The only thought come into his mind was horse riding. It had been quite awhile that he didn't rid horse.

Arnav changed into a white pants and dark blue polo t-shirt with a polo cap adoring his head. He moved towards the cage and there he saw Lucy, interacting with the horse. He approached her only to find her smiling at him in returned.

Lucy: "You want to ride?" She asked after scanning the attire Arnav was probably wearing.

Arnav: "Yes.. And I want this black one.." Lucy opened the cage door so that Arnav could take the horse out from the cage. He took the horse near the field before he jumped on the animal. From the way he holds the latex robe showed that he wasn't riding for the first time. Besides, the horse felt comfortable with him as he was going slow and wasn't pulling the string which could tame the animal.

From the second floor window of the room, Khushi was staring at the scene that was playing in front of her. The way Lucy looked at Arnav and the way he was giving her attention boiled Khushi's heart. It felt hurt. Now, she actually understands how Arnav felt when she was putting her priority towards Zain and neglecting his present around her. Khushi took a deep breath composing her that she can't make Arnav see her insecurity. That would only give him a plus point to break her. She rushes towards the cupboard to get change so that she could join them at the field.

Lucy stared blankly when she saw a woman in her early thirties walking down nearing them. She was wearing black pants with red t-shirt and a black hat. She complimented her beauty in her heart. She looked simply gorgeous even in the simple attire she carried.

Khushi: "Hi.. I'm Khushi Malthotra.." He extended her palm to have a handshake.

Lucy: "Hi.. Nice knowing you.. I'm Lucy.. I work here with my father.." Khushi nodded understanding her position in the place. "You're here with ASR?" She asked..

Khushi: "Yes.. Actually we're just friends.." She knew Arnav was leaning his ears to hear their talk and that was the reason she mentioned about friend. If she introduced herself as his Girlfriend that would only showed that she was getting jealous with Lucy nearest with him. And at the same time, she doubts that she is still his girlfriend?

Lucy: "Oh.. Friends.." She could feel that Khushi was probably lying. The way Arnav looked at her through the corner of his eyes proved that they were more than the ordinary friends.

Khushi: "This place look nice.. Can I have a look?" She asked Lucy politely to become her tour guide.

Lucy: "Sure.. If you've desire for riding I can suggest you some good horse.."

Khushi: "I don't know how to ride.. I'll just look around.."

Lucy: "I can teach you.. It's not that difficult.. But before that let me inform some worker to get the babies bath. I'll be back in few minutes.." Khushi nodded and allowed Lucy to complete her work before they could proceed. She walked towards Arnav and smiled looking at him.

Khushi: "She's a sweet girl.. I like her.." Her face lifted little up looking at Arnav who was riding the black horse.

Arnav: "So you want to marry her with me?" He smirked before giving her firm looked.

Khushi: "You've two choice either me or her.." She winked while walking towards Lucy who just came out from the back of the bungalow. Khushi turned to meet Arnav again while her legs still moving backwards. She screamed loudly as they weren't standing near.. "Arnav, If I die will you cry?" She laughed when she saw his face experience changed. She can be filmy sometimes. "Don't worry I'm not going to die that soon.. I'll get you anyhow.. Just get ready.." She smiled and run behind Lucy..
