Unspoken love

Chapter 36

"Khushi...Khuhsi..." ARnav patted lightly on Khushis shoulder but in return she just covered herself more with the duvet.

"Khuhsi its 8.30, your college is in an hour." He told her and suddenly her eyes snapped open.

"What?" she asked suddenly rubbing her eyes and sitting on the recliner.

"Its 8.30." he said again.

"You are telling me now." she yelled and got up from the recliner and rushed towards the cupboard.

"You were so tired from yesterday that you hardly heard me." he kept his point.

"Oh my god...I am so late." She didn't heard him saying and rushed towards the washroom leaving Arnav sigh. He looked at the puppy sitting right next to him under the recliner who was staring him innocently.

"Isn't she out of her mind?" he asked and the puppy stuck his tongue out. All of a sudden the door of the washroom barged open and Khushi came out of rushing towards the mirror.

"Did you even take shower?" Arnav mocked her and she sot daggers in his direction.

"I have to take him to the doctor too." Khuhsi said in frustration.

"Him? why?" he asked looking at the innocent puppy.

"His limb is hurting. He won't let me touch it." she told him.

"So? you will take him to the doctor?" he asked in amusement.

"Ofcourse." She said while stuffing her books scattered in the bag.

"I'll drop you, you are already late." He told her but she looked uncertain.

"You are late, we'll reach on time with the car." he said to convince her and she nodded.

"I had the breakfast, you just quickly have yours." He informed her and lead the way but within in a second Khuhsi was right behind him with an apple in her hand.

"What about your breakfast?" he asked her.

"I can have this." she showed him his apple. He knew arguing was of no use he let her sit in the car and started the ignition.

"Arnavji, drive fast, I have only 13 minute to be exact left." She told him.

"Your college is around 4 kilometers away. just relax." He told her but as usual she couldn't be.

"You better have your lunch on time okay? I don't want anything like that day to happen." She said.

"You were scared?" he mocked her with a smirk.

"Yes ofcourse." She said hiding her embarrassment with her determination but her just 2 words made an unknown feeling of proud build in him.

"Why do you care?" he asked nonchalantly.

"I don't know." She said with a shrug praying silently for her college to arrive.

The silence consumed the car ride and the 12^th minute Arnav parked his car right in front his college gate.

"See I made you reach on time." He said with a grin.

"Yeah...thank you." she smiled and hopped out of the car.

"Finish this apple, you hadn't eaten anything." He shouted as she shut her door.

"Yes boss." She smiled at him and soon her figure disappeared amongst the crowd of student where she met her new bestfriend Priya.

"Hey..." she waved her to grab smiling Khushi's attention.

"Hii...sorry I didn't see you." Khushi apologized.

"NO problem, by the way who was that guy who made you smile so widely." She asked with a mischievous smirk.

"Who?" Khushi tried to play innocent.

"You know what I am talking about." She said in a duh tone.

"Oh...that...he-he is my friend like he is my husband Arnavji." Khushi said in a rush and hoped that there would be no further questioning on this topic but this one sentence led to plenty of questions.

"Oh my God you are married? When and how?" Priya shrieked grabbing the attention of everyone and Khushi shushed him.

"Please...you are going to get me killed." She told her but the bell rang interrupting them.

"You know you have to explain this." she said and Khsuhi nodded walking to the class.

"You may begin." She said.

"We got married a month back." she told her.

"Love marriage? Like a one in which you ran away with him and your family doesn't know?" Priya asked all of a sudden.

"NO arranged and everyone knows about it." Khuhsi told her. how much she wished that there oculd be a little love involved int his arranged marriage but this couldn't happen in real.

"But why were you hiding here?" Priya asked.

"See Priya, I don't want anyone to know about it. since you know it I want you to keep it a secret. I don't want anyone to know about my marital status." Khushi huffed.

"But why?" Priya whined.

"IT's complicated and iwant to be independent and make my own identity, so please." She requested and after thinking for a while Priya nodded and soon the professor arrived in the class.

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

Arnav reached his office wishing everyone backwho greeted him a goodmorning'. It was indeed a very goodmorng for some unknown reason that a small smile was playing in his pplace but it instantly got replace by a scowl.

"Arnav, where were you the whole day?" LAvanya asked.

"I told you I was resting." He said non chalantly rebooting his laptop.

"IS there anything to worry? I blood sugar dropped plenty of time before but you never took a day off." She asked.

"Khushi and Di wanted me to rest. Khuhsi was a bit extra worried as she thought something huge had happened." he smiled a he recalled her concerned face. "She somehow convinced Di and Nani that I shouldrest, so yes, I took a day off from work."

"You took a day off because your wife wanted tp?" LAvanya asked-cum-stated in a disgusted tone making Arnav pissed. This is the only thing she heard from the entire thing he said. isn't she a tad bit worried for him just likethe way Khushi was?

"I am not in a mood of an headache, just leave so that I can continue my work." He said ignoring her completely.

"But I am asking you something." Lavanya protested.

"And I told you i am not in the mood to talk to you. You very well know how the things between us started." He gestured between the two of them with his hand. " and the conditions which we both agreed to came along with it. So just try to act like a nagging and jealous girlfriend around me, because I just don't care what you think." His words were cold enough to freeze the entire continent. Lavanya sighed and left his cabin and Arnav exhaled the air he had been holding. Why can't he stay happy for a long? Why cant all his problems just stay aside? He never told Lavanya that he loves her. love is a strong feeling which he never felt and will have for anyone. It was just a simple relation for the world to see and him enjoy, but when the things started getting complicated he wasn't aware of. Barging in his life, came Khushi who is not leaving his brian even for a second. She keeps invading his mind even in the middle of an important meeting which would make him lose the track of his surroundings. This feeling was strange but was enough to annoy him.

The day officially began with a foul mood and he kept himself so occupied with the work that he lost the track of time. Suddenly his phone buzzed and an unexpected message popped up on his phone.

"Did you have your lunch?"

An automatic smile appeared on his lips but he felt guilty lying.

"Yes."

Soon his message buzzed gain and he hurriedly opened the message.

"Send me the picture of your lunch box." Came her instant reply and for the first time Arnva felt his lie couldn't last any longer so he didn't bother replying but his persistent wife wouldn't let him go so easily.

"Picture Mr Raizada?" Arnav huffed loudly reading her message.

"I hadn't okay? By the way you were supposed to be in your class?" he wrote and hit the send tab.

"Don't try to change topic Mr Raizada, better eat your lunch fast and send me the picture. And for the class, I have a break so I am in the library." Her message read and he smiled. this girl is definaelt different from what he had thought.

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

"You are a bit late Arnavji?" Khushi asked Arnav entered his room.

"Yes there was lot of work pending." He said and suddenly his eyes landed on the puppy who had his armed wrapped in white bandage. "What happen to him?" he asked Khushi.

"There is a hair-line fracture in his arm, so the doctor wrapped the bandage." She told him and he felt sorry for the puppy who was silently sleeping in the corner.

"I should have been careful." He mumbled softly.

"Yes you should be, you better learn the lesson." She told him and he nodded loosening his tie.

"Hey I forgot to tell you. today I met your friend, he dropped me home." She said and Arnva turned to look at her.

"Who?" he asked in confusion.

"Sahil. I was coming back from the vet clinic and he offered me lift." She shrugged.

"Aren't there enough cars in the house for you?" he said annoyingly and Khushi for a moment didn't understand what he meant.

"I- I..." she stammered but a mere name of Sahil' had fueled him to the edge.

"Listen, you better stay away from him." he said in warning tone.

"But why Arnavji? What happened?" she asked.

" I don't have to explain you anything okay? Just stay away means stay away." he growled loudly.

"But he offered me a lift what is my fault in this?" she questioned back.

"I have not bought these car for show...you could have used them." he yelled and she stood silent. Yes, she could have used any one of them but she didn't.

"Let me make it clear Khushi, there are some things which you have to keep in mind as long as you are my wife." he told her reminding her set of rules which he has framed for her. a sudden wave of reality hit her, the reality which she had forgotten in a while. His loud voice had waked the pup up but as he stood up he collapsed. Khuhsi rushed to him and taking him in arms she went out towards the poolside.

"I am sorry, it won't happen again Arnavji." She said and stepped out of the room leaving him alone to think how badly he had messed the situation again but sahil's name infuriates him and he very well knows he wouldn't offer Khushi lift unless he wants something from her. His intention was not to hurt her, but he wants to save her from Sahil who could hurt her in many ways one of the worst being telling her about his relationship with Lavanya.
