[MEMBERSONLY]
hi guys...so how are you all...thanks a lot for your comments and wonderful support...it really means a lot to me...here you go...the first chapter of this ff...falling in love with enemy...
CHAPTER 1
Her face turned pale and her ever shining eyes lost its texture as she stared blankly at the ground. The tears which welled up her almond shaped eyes indicated that the truth had begun to sink inside her. Her rosy lower lip was crushed in between her gritted teeth. Slowly disbelief on her eyes was replaced by anger.
She rolled her eyes up and he found himself being scrutinized by her hatred filled eyes. His heart broke into millions of pieces at the sight in front of him. He couldn't digest the fact that her eyes, where he had seen nothing but just love, were now filled with so much hatred for him. He felt suffocated and his heart beat became ragged when she opened her mouth.
"I trusted you." She said and a lone tear rolled down her cheek. He felt helpless, guilty and that was the second when Arnav Singh Raizada hated himself more than anyone in the world. She turned and left the place not even bothering to steal one last glance at him.
"Kushi." He screamed as he jolted up from his bed. He looked around and found himself on his bed; his body covered with sweat. He buried his face in his palms and the moment he closed his eyes, all that he could see was that hatred filled eyes piercing him. Her eyes. He couldn't simply get over with her eyes.
He groaned "nightmare." This was the nightmare which was haunting him for past three months. But today was different. Today she is sleeping just two rooms away from him. The thought of her, staying at his home reminded him about their earlier confrontation.
"Your child, Arnav, I am carrying your child."
He got up from his bed and started to pace around. He still couldn't take in the fact that she is pregnant with his child. If it is true, then why she is keeping the child? That too after what had happened between them, what could be the reason for her to keep the child?
If it was any other girl, then he would have easily assumed that money could be the reason. But it was not any other girl; it was Kushi Kumari gupta, who owned fortune nearly five times more than his own. Then why?
'Does she still love him?' he stopped pacing and then remembered the hatred he saw in her eyes three months back. That hatred could last for life time. She definitely hates him and love could not be the reason.
"You. Your happiness."
"b***dy s**t." he blurted out. She is keeping the baby to take revenge on him. He concluded that it could be the only reason. How low of her to use unborn like this? "Just like her father." He groaned.
"Your family."
Her words echoed in his ears. He froze for second thinking about her words.
"I will make sure that you have no one."
Is she planning to harm his family? His family, comprising of his grandmother, sister, niece and nephew, was his world. It took him seven years to build this family. It took him everything to bring back his three month pregnant sister out of the shock of her husband's death. Prem and pia were his life.
He will not allow her to touch his family. They are too precious to get ruined. He will never let her to ruin, what he had built with his love and affection, at any cause; even if it means he had to lose everything.

Kushi took in a deep breath as fresh air caressed her face. She admiringly looked at the sky which was packed with twinkling stars. She said "I know that you are angry on me for doing this, maa. But believe me, maa, I didn't have much choice. Of course, even if i had choices, I would have probably chosen this one because this is the only path which leads me directly to the success. Sorry maa, I don't think i can bear anymore defeats."
She stared blankly at the sky as her mind started rewind the happenings of that day. 'It went well, just according to plan.' It would have went much better, hadn't she became emotional and gave him more information than required. She should have not opened her mouth about his family. Now that she had alerted him, she was sure it will be a huge hindrance for her next move.
But the pain flickered in his eyes, when she mentioned about his family, gave her some sadistic pleasure and pushed her to challenge him openly. This challenge was supposed to be her wedding gift to her husband. "Never too late. Just play it chill, Kushi. You can pull it off well." She sighed.
Next step is very crucial for her. If she wins it, then Arnav Singh Raizada will be at her mercy. She knew that he must have figured it by now and he will be here in an hour or so. She started to prepare herself for the next encounter, where she cannot afford to make any mistake, when she heard footsteps approaching her room.
With a smile on her face, she glanced at the digital clock. It was an hour past midnight. "So soon, Mr. Raizada." She muttered. When he was about to knock the door, she opened it with a smile on her face. He looked at her a second before commenting "you are still awake." It was rather a statement than a question. "So you wanted me to be asleep?" she wriggled her brow.
He walked past her into the room not caring to reply. Her smile grew wider as she locked the door behind her and turned to notice that he was already seated on the bed. "Actually i was waiting for you. You are late!" she pointed her finger towards him before sitting beside him.
He observed her from side; no doubt she looked beautiful but what caught his attention more was her confidence. She looked like lioness who would settle for nothing but a victory. In any other circumstance, he would have let her to win just to see her like this, but not now; that too at the cost of his family's happiness.
"What do you want, Kushi?" his voice was low but serious. She blinked and said "i thought you would have figured it by now!" but all she got as reply was stare. She turned to his side, drawing her legs up and sat with crossed leg. "It's simple, Arnav. Marriage." He nodded his expressions calm and cold. 'Play it hard, Arnav.' He told himself.
"Marriage. You wanted to marry me. So that's why you are keeping the baby!" he said as a matter of fact making her to boil in anger. 'How dare he could talk like this? Cool, Kushi and play it cool.' She thought. She replied "i don't think anyone in the world would want to spend their life with the person who was responsible for their parent's death. And absolutely i am not that one."
She continued "moreover if marrying you was my only intention, then I don't think i need this baby to make you agree. I know many other ways to make you bend. But now, the only reason why i am here in your house is my child." He retorted "and the only reason why i haven't thrown you out is also the same."
Kushi gritted her teeth controlling her anger and got up from bed "listen, Arnav. I am doing this only for my child. I don't want the child to get any bad name even before the birth. Why should the poor soul suffer for the mistake we did? And let me make one thing clear to you. I don't want anything from this relationship; your love; your money; your family; nothing. I want nothing expect your name. And I will leave as soon as my job is over."
He too got up "and job, what you meant is destroying my family, right?" he stepped closer to her. She said "think whatever you want, Arnav. But what i told now is the truth. I am doing this only for my child. And I am sorry for talking about your family like that. I was just angry and i really didn't mean it. You know me, don't you?"
She knew that he won't believe it now. But it was worth taking risk. Arnav replied "good one. But it's of no use. Because what you want is not going to happen. This marriage will never happen. Di told me that you are planning to stay here for two days. Stay, enjoy and leave the place silently. Don't make me do things which I don't want to do."
He moved forwarded to the door when he heard her voice. "Two days, Arnav. You have two days to change your decision. Or else..." she was cut off by Arnav. "Or else." He closed distance between them in a single stride. "Or else what will you do kushi? You will tell my family about our one night stand. Go ahead Kushi. At least I will be free from guilt of lying to them for the first time in my life."
He knew that she won't tell them. That was the only thing with which she could blackmail him and if his family know about it, then there won't be any reason left for Arnav to marry her. He added "but i tell you, it's not going to do any good to you. What do you think? If my nani orders me, then i will marry you? Do you really think that?"
"Do you really think that anyone can force Arnav Singh Raizada? Let me tell you one thing. This marriage won't happen until i myself decide to marry you, which is never going to happen. So stop dreaming, Kushi." Having said so, he left the room making Kushi to fume in anger.
"Hell with her. What does she thinks? If she threatens me, i will do whatever she says? " He murmured in anger while punching some button in his blackberry. " pick up the phone, damn it." He shouted as he redialled the number.
"helloo...arnav..." answered the sleepy voice.
The voice made him forget everything. The voice asked "what's the matter Arnav? Why are you calling me at this time? Is everything fine? Arnav, say something."
He replied "nothing sweet heart. I just wanted to hear you voice. That's it."
"So the great ASR is in bad mood again. Let me guess. Did aman misplaced your file or did laxmi ate it?" Arnav smiled hearing the ramblings of the person he loved the most.
"Lavanya." He said.
"Hmmm?" she replied suddenly becoming conscious that he had called her by her name, indicating that he is going to say something serious. Her heart started to beat against her chest "what is it, Arnav?"
"i love you, Lavanya. I really love you."
