PART 7
Shyam waited for the car to stop. It was headed inside the city and Shyam was getting impatient as to where saleh sahab was taking his Khushi. It stopped at an office building 'yeh saleh sahab bhi na kaam hi karte rehenge kya Khushi ji ki saat honeymoon chodke. Cha mujhe karni thi shaadi Khushi se abhi tak sab kuch khatam karleta tha he thought in full lust. But he saw someone else get down from the car and enter the building. He quietly parked his car and went to the driver.
'Arre saaleh sahab ki gaadi idhar kya kar rahi hai' he asked the driver.
'Woh gaadi kharab ho gayi thi saheb toh Arnav Sir ne doosri gaadi leli isko repair hoke official kaam ke liye chod di' he finished.
Shyam was shocked this can't happen. In a week's time Khushi would succumb to her husband and why not it was their honeymoon afterall.
'Nahi yeh hone nahi doonga I'll find her before it is too late no matter what' he thought wondering at how his plans were failing now.
-------
Khushi was amazed seeing the inside of the Haveli. It was all decorated in maroon and golden just like a palace. The entrance lead into a huge living room where she was awed by the splendour of it all. There was a small open space following that where there was a garden with the most exotic flower and plants and fountains. Following that was the pool. She was awestruck she had visited some palace near Lucknow when she was a child but that was no where in grandeur as this one. Her father had bought tickets and taken Payal and her and they had even a cotton candy before they got home. It had been the happiest day of her life. It was since then she had started dreaming about her prince who would come marry her and save her from this wicked world.
'Do you like it?' asked Arnav. He was finding it amusing she was like a child at a fun fair.
'Koi pagal hi hoga jisko yeh accha nahi lagega. Bahut sundar hai Arnavji'.
'I know I re-decorated most of it myself'. 'The groundstairs have been untouched but the upstairs that is the bedrooms and bath has been renovated to the modern taste' he finished.
'Yeh haveli aapka hai? Mujhe laga hum ek hafte ke liye hai idhar bas' she said with her eyes going really wide.
She could be really intelligent in many ways and pretty dumb at other times thought Arnav.
'Baito' he said making her sit in the bench in the open area beside the fountain.
'Yeh haveli hamari family ka hai Khushi'. 'Bahut saalo se hamara hai yeh'. 'Amma bolti thi ki koi hamare ancestor ek ladki se bahut madly pyaar karta tha aur uske liye banaya iss haveli ko'. 'Unhon ne yeh haveli ko bhar di thi unke bacchon se'. 'Bahut baar aisa situation aaya hai ki humko aur meri ancestors ko majboor hoke isko bhejna padein par har bar kuch hoke humare paas yeh haveli rukh jata tha'. 'Something like a miracle everytime it had to be sold to someone outside...I think hamari ancestors ne joh isko banaye yeh sochke banaye yeh kisi aur ke paas nahi jayen shayad' he laughed. 'Amma toh aise hi bolti thi par mein nahi vishwas karta aise baaton pe' he smiled. She was looking so innocent and beautiful listening to his story with wide eyes and awe. He really wanted to tease her so he said 'Shayad mei aur jiji bhi idhar hi conceive huye you know and maybe many others in my khandaan too ' he finished watching her go red as she blushed.
'Mein change karke aati hoo' she said quickly vanishing inside and almost lost in the upstairs.
He dragged her to their room. He knew he could sleep in a different room and there was no need for them to stay together but the last two days had spoiled him. He wanted her in his arms and wanted to wake up with her he thought.
'Yeh rahi aapki luggage aur room'. 'Change karlo' he smile and left.
He went swimming in the pool which helped cool him down. It was nice hot summer night and nothing refreshing than a swim.
Khushi changed into her plain kurta and top which she loved. She had left her hair loose and she was sitting in the garden watching him swim. He had a great body she thought and blushed that she was thinking such atrocious thoughts. Khushi he just saved you for his own reasons don't expect anything more she chided herself before getting herself into deeper trouble by falling for him. She suddenly realized that while she had been thinking he had gotten out of the pool and was no longer there.
'Kya soch rahe ho' he said coming to sit next to her. He had bathed and changed she noticed.
'Tumhara knight in shining armour hoon kya mein Khushi' he asked her.
'Matlab?' she enquired him wondering what he was talking about.
'Mujhe khabar mila ki Khushi KG ka dream tha ki usko ek din ek prince se shaadi hoga aur woh usko puri duniya se bachalega'. 'Puri duniya ka pata nahi par Shyam se toh meine tumko bachaya aur yeh haveli hai just like your dream so am I your prince KKG?' he asked her.
'Aapko kaisa pata hamare...' she wondered.
'Payal ne bataya humhe' he finished. 'I think I know a lot about you now from Payal of course'. 'You are nothing like I thought you were' he finished in a whisper.
Khushi was lost in his words and looked into his eyes.
Arnav wondered why he had married her. There was no need for him to he could've kept her in a safe place just like he had kept her family. He could have exposed Shyam and had him arrested. He could have done a lot of other things but no ASR had not done that the very first thought that had entered his mind was 'She should be mine forever...and he had married her.'
'He had never believed in passion and always thought love and passion were a weakness and the spontaneity with which he always reacted with Khushi made him angry at himself and her'. He had tried everything shouting at her, yelling at her, forcing her to stay away from him, not talking to her but finally he always ended up being there for her whenever she was in trouble and caring for her when she needed someone the most. He sighed and looked up at the sky. She had once told him that 'Her Devi Mayya was making him do things by holding his hands'. 'Was this true?' he thought and for the first time ASR was doubting himself in this regards. He looked at her she had told him she would be far away at that time but she was
wrong he thought maybe 'Her Devi Mayya had other plans for her' he smiled.
'They were both on the same side now fighting Shyam but Arnav knew when it came to him fighting his weakness he would blame Khushi as she and the passion he had for her was his weakness'.
He also knew she could never share a detached relationship with him just giving into their physical attraction without feelings or strings. If she could it would make matters easier for him as he could get over this attraction once and for all. But he knew if she ever crossed the line with him it would be because she believed in her feelings towards him and that was what would make him cross this difference of opinion they had. They were both stubborn heads about this and he wondered who would give in first to accept defeat. He laughed quietly would ASR face defeat for the first time in his life and that too with the winner being this small
town girl. 'No way' he thought he was tougher than this. But then he turned and looked at her staring at him and he was lost in her eyes and he knew the day was not far when he would have to accept defeat in the hands of this angel who had turned his world upside down. Now he was in deeper trouble trying to control his passion when she was staring him in his face day and night. Some tough times ahead Arnav he told himself.
He got a call and he looked at her and said 'Chalo der ho rahi hai tum so jao I'll finish this call and come' he said thanking Armaan for saving him tonight. 'Hello Armaan haan bolo. Kya kuch aage khabar mila Shyam ke baaremein he said while watching Khushi walk gracefully up the stairs.
Khushi was awake and she was sad to know she was alone. Had he even come to sleep she wondered and turned her head to see there was an impression in the pillow next. She got up happily thinking it would be great to see the haveli in the daylight and wondered whether it would be as beautiful in the morning as it was in the night.
She ran downstairs after getting fresh like a kid running to for a treat.
'Dheere se aao' he told her.
They finished their breakfast served by the best chefs after which Arnav decided to take her out to show the village, the lake and dam nearby. He had a cold shower in the morning the amount of cold showers he was taking to cool himself down made him mad now! Why was his body reacting everytime she was even in the same room as him he wondered he was no teenage kid his hormones were just making him go mad he thought! They left for the day and Arnav thought the more outside they were the more safe he was!
