He saw a small pond of water near by and tree of apple right opposite of tree house he sigh in relief.

Arnav climb little up the tree with great difficulty he plucked generous amount of apples for both of them. He pull of his waist coat gathered apples in them he run towards pond washed apples. He filled water in empty bottle and poured water on his right shoulder he hissed in pain controlled his yelp his right hand which was already injured with glass was again bleeding when he was climbing tree a sharp thron vine scratched his bandage along with his skin. He refilled bottle and drank water later filled it again for Khushi

Arnav ran back to tree house he sprinkle water on Khushi's face and brought water bottle to her lips Khushi gulp down almost half of bottle down her dry throat. Arnav drank rest of water he placed bottle aside. Khushi was much better now She open her eyes looked at him. Arnav held apple against her lips her gesture her to eat. Khushi bit into apple. She took apple from his hand. You too need to eat Khushi spoke in weak voice. Arnav nodded and started eating.

After eating apple until they satisfied their hunger. Arnav helped Khushi to laid down he covered her shivering form with his waist coat.

He pulled his mobile out. 20% battery was left but signals were not there. He turned revolving mobile in different directions to get signals but no avail at last he laid down beside Khushi it was cold night he was shivering himself. He didn't had meal since long more over his meds were not with him. It was getting difficult for him to breathe he was shivering so as Khushi. His waist wasn't enough to provide her warmth. He stepped out of small tree house. He was 5. 11 feets long but treehouse was 5 feets somthing long his back was bended a lot. He looked here and there spotted rusted leaves and hay sacks. And few woods. Gathering them he started stacking them in tree house. They weren't enough but help way enough tree house was feeling warm now he didn't had match box or anyway to lit fire. But he used those woods at door of tree house to block cold breeze adding hay sack and leave on wood in a way making it look like some curtain sort.

Khushi wasn't shivering much now Arnav laid down in front of door pulled her to him hugging her close to him getting warmth of each other.

Khushi slept long back right after their dinner. He too slip into uncomfortable slumber. He wasn't use to of hard floors, he wasn't use to of sleeping in dirty clothes, without blankets, and he couldn't even spread his body properly his legs were resting high in air and his feets on wall supporting his legs weight.


*~*~*

Arnav woke up early with first morning ray of sun. He went out toward pond washed his face filled bottle again. He came back to tree house woke Khushi up.

Arnav turned started walking towards apple tree. He didn't heard any sound from Khushi he turn and saw her lost somewhere, her lips pouting, brows frowning.

Arnav said softly but frown was still visible. She looked up shook her head more vigorously. Arnav sigh he turn to gi back thinking his wife is in her own world dealing with her moods. Her next words stopped him in his track.

Arnav ji stop...what if someone come here and found me...She looked down. No one will come here Khushi its jungle. She looked at him helplessly what if some animal... UFF go ahead ill stay here and yes will turn my face away. Arnav turned his back and stood.

Khushi washed her face looked up found her husband smiling at her. She pouted walking back to him. What's there to laugh or smile huh??? its natural ok. Arnav held his hands up gesturing he surrender. Did i said anything. Lets go we need to leave this place and search way out of this jungle.

Both sat beside each other quietly nibbling their apples. Arnav was done but Khushi was sitting slowly eating. Khushi be quick are you planning to stay here whole life. Don't complain later you had to bear me. Arnav spoke with amusement.

Khushi glare him quickly gobble down her apple. Khushi stood up saw pool of dried blood. She gasp loudly. She didn't felt pain anywhere in her body...she saw Arnav's using his one hand other one was stiffen. She could see his one shoulder was visible bigger then other one. That means ...ARNAVji is injured she mumbled.

Both resume their journey Arnav

They walked till a little while and came on main road Arnav carefully hide Khushi behind trunk of wild tree, he needed to check around. Khushi its clear i don't see anything suspicious. They resumed walking. Sun light was helping them to come over the cold they felt earlier but now he started feeling hot. He looked here and there to find something continent so they can use to travelling but roads were clear. Arnav took his phone out to their luck or ill luck phone was dead now.

Shit isko be abhi dead hona tha Arnav mumbled. (Shit why phone has to be dead just now) Khushi looked here and there to sit somewhere. Arnavji i am tired can we sit for a while please. Khushi requested. Arnav nodded.


Half an hour later

Arnav tried to get lift from some cars but nothing helped. Khushi came to his side let me help you to get lift. She spoke. No Khushi go back and sit there Arnav said in firm tone getting possessive about her. Arnavji it won't hurt if we get help from someone. He glare at her she quietly went back to sit on ground.

Another half an hour was gone it didnt help.

Arnav tried to stop car but they dodge him and went away. Khushi couldn't hold her laughter holding her stomach she laughed at his state how he signal people and when they don't give damn to his signals he swear loudly. Might ASR asking help from people...this was surely a shocking news. If his employees or business associates see him like this then Delhi hospitals needs extra beds in cardiac wards.

Buhat hasi a rahi hai tumhain khud try karo tu pata chalay. Arnav spoke angrily.(you're laughing too much if you'll try you'll learn how difficult it is.) Khushi got up trying to control her giggles failing miserably. I told you i can get lift sooner then you didn't you saw in hindi movies even heros don't get lifts Mr Oh I am so rich and perfect. Wait here. Khushi said in proud of being a women. Arnav knew this fact womens gets lifts soon but this is hell dangerous, he don't want any more danger for her now.

NO Need for you ok stay there. He ordered Khushi pouted angrily. Uff his high headedness. Arnav saw a car coming their way 70s model mercedes. He quickly lifted Khushi up in his arms.

ARNAVJI HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND PUT ME DOWN...YOUR SHOULDER DAMMIT...Khushi shrieked. Shut up and shut your eyes. He came to center of the road. His shoulder was paining but he knew he had to bear it for a while.

Car stopped an old couple looked at them. Man wearing white safari suit with black cap. Women wearing sleeveless sundress showing her big biceps. She was quiet overweight.

Feroz they need help. Old women spoke. I can see that Shree. Old man replied. Dikra what happen to your wife? Old woman asked.

Arnav looked at Khushi's face...Our car broke down we need help my wife Pregnant. Khushi snap open her eyes. She fainted with fatigue. Reminding khushi to pretend.

Feroz helped Arnav to sit in car with Khushi. Arnav sat beside her holding her by her waist putting her head on his shoulder he knew old couple was looking at them. He caress her cheeks lovingly pressing his lips on her forehead. He saw old women blushing nudging her husband to give them privacy.

Khushi nudge his stomach with her elbow making Arnav yelp. Oww. she went back to her unconscious mode Arnav gave her deathly glares old couple looked back to Arnav repeated owwoo these tendrils always disturb her sleep. HE quickly covered up for yelping

Frezo batliwala looking front and drive fast you naughty man. Old women gave him warning glares.
Arrey dikhra we forgot to ask you where you want to go.
Arnav was now thinking where he can go and contact Aman. Erm where are you going.

Arrey dikhra we have to go to Sikandrabad Feroz's sister lives there. Shree answered. Dammit its opposite side to them. Erm you can drop us to some nearest motel or hotel whatever comes. He answered.

Dikra you won't get motel or hotel here Only dhabba's with small rooms. Shree answered.

Shit ...fine drop us there. Arnav said do you mobile can i make a call.

Dikra feroz doesn't know how to use it he is not fond of cells wait i'll give you mine. Shree took out her.mobile handled it to him.

Should i call home? He thought
No this will be bad idea Di and Payal would be very worried. Emotional pressure will only increase and will weak us especially Khushi. She would not resist to talk to family and he can't let their last hope this car lift and mobile to go waste like this.

Aman best and save option will do as he tells him

Arnav carefully dialed Aman's number as it was safe to dial.

Arnav saw a lone tear fell down her eyes. He bend press kiss on her forehead She thought old couple is looking their way but he was only try to help her to gather herself emotionally and to assure her he is there with her.
