SHORT STORY: HIS MISTRESS PART 1
Contents for people aged above 18.
It was 8 months since she had disappeared from his life. Good that is what has given him peace he convinced himself the 100th time. What the heck was happening to him?
Why was he so restless today? He had almost forgotten her he convinced himself but this past month her thoughts kept torturing him day and night and today he was not able to do anything else but think about her! He closed the file and cancelled all the meetings and decided to leave home as he was not doing much here anyways.
While Arnav is driving the car...FLASHBACK...a year and half ago...
It was Arnav and Lavanya's engagement day! Khushi had not confessed her feelings to him and neither had he. God dammit what a mess he thought! He could not getengaged to Lavanya when all he could think of was Khushi! He went in search of Lavanya deciding to break things off before they went irrevocable. Lavanya was surprisingly calm when he told her he was really not that into her and he had just agreed to marry her because of the family pressure.
'It's okay Arnav! I guess I always knew it in my heart. I don't think I was in love with you either! I was more in love with falling in love than you! I guess we have to wait for our loves to happen with someone else ' she smiled through her tears and decided to leave back to London.
Arnav felt a huge relief that Lavanya had been so understanding. He smiled now it meant he had to find Khushi and tell her his feelings. She had not come in today. He wondered why of all the days today she had not come had she finally understood her feelings and could not see him engaged to someone else he wondered. Arnav went and asked his Sister she said she had called up and informed there was some important function at her house and she was unable to come in today.
'Mujhe bhi dukh hua tha kya karen unki majboori thi unki bua unko jaane nahi de rahi thi kuch khaas function lag raha hai chotte. Khushi ji bata nahi payi bahut baar poocha tha meine phir bhi unhone kuch bola nahi' she said.
Arnav left the house in search of Khushi. He stopped at her house but it was locked. When he made enquiries he was shocked to know Khushi was marrying at a nearby temple. He drove like mad to the temple and ran up the stairs to get the shock of his life!
Khushi was sitting with his jijai as the groom. 'Dammit what the heck was she doing getting secretly married to his already married jiju Arnav thought crossly!!!'. Arnav came and pulled her roughly out of the mandap to the shock of everyone around.
'How dare you get married to my jiju?' he barked at her.
Khushi looked at him as though he had gone mad. 'Aapka jiju? she said. 'Yeh toh Shyamji hai hamari Paying Guest Arnavji mein aapke jiju ko nahi jaanti hoo' she said sadly wondering what he was upto.
'Mein kya karoo saaleh saheb meine kitne baar kaha tha is ladki ko ki mein shaadi shudha hoo par yeh maani hi nahi dhamki dhi mujhe ki mar jayegi agar mein isse shaadi nahi karegi toh'. 'Mein bahut darr gaya tha saaleh sahab kya karta mein bolo' he said cunningly putting all the blame on Khushi.
Khushi looked at Shyam startled and finally realized what a scumbag he was and who he was in fact. 'Meine kabhi aisa kuch bola nahi Shyam-ji aapko' she whispered with tears in her eyes
knowing the accusing look in Arnav's eyes that she was fighting a lost cause. 'Hey Devi Maiyya please help me she prayed'.
Devi Maiyya sent her guardian angel to save Khushi. Anjali walked in with the police. 'Yeh mere pati hai par is ladki se doosare shaadi kar rahe they inhe leke jayiye' she said. 'Rani sahiba aap humpe shakh kar rahe ho yeh sab Khushi ke wajah se huyi hai' said Shyam. 'Nahi mujhe pata hai Khushi-ji nahi jaanti thi ki aap mere pati they aur aapne mujhe hi nahi inko bhi dhoka diya hai'. 'Inspector aap inhe leke jayiye' she said.
'Di aap yeh kya kar rahe ho Khushi-ji ke liye jiju ko jail bhejoge?' shouted Arnav.
'Arnav mein jo bhi kar rahi hoo sahi kar rahi hoo yahi sach hai tumhare jiju acche insaan nahi hai Arnav aankhe kholke dekho' she shouted back. 'Mujhe ab iss insaan ke saat mat jhodo mein unhe jald se jald divorce kar rahi hoo' she told and crying left the mandap.
Khushi was stunned with the events and could hardly believe this had happened to her. Garima shouted and Khushi immediately rushed to her dad who was having breathing difficulties. She rushed him to the hospital. The doctor did the tests and informed her that she would need atleast 1.5Lakh rupees for his operation. Khushi was shattered where would she get this money she wondered.
Arnav Singh Raizada walked in and sat next to her. 'I'll give you the money and you can save your dad' he said. 'But there is a condition' he said when she started to get some hope in her eyes. 'My jiji did not see through you but I can you enticed my jiju into your web and you are the sole reason my sister's marriage is in shatters now and I will make sure you make payment towards this grave mistake!'.
Khushi stopped smiling he still did not believe her! But she needed the money so she asked him 'Kya karna hoga?' she whispered.
'You have to be my mistress' he whispered back. 'Every night satisfying my any desires at my beck and call but no formal relationship in front of this world'. 'Is that okay with you, Khushi?' he asked her.
She looked at him with tears in her eyes she knew he could be cruel but today he had topped everything. She shook her head and said 'No, please get out of here'.
'Think about it and call me, the offer stands for the next 24 hours' he said and left.
Buaji yelled for Khushi. Babuji's health was worsening. Garima was in tears doctors were walking in and out of the ICU trying to save him. The doctor walked out and told them to arrange funds immediately or he could die. Buaji showed her frustration on Khushi. 'Teri Kismat aisa kyon hai sankha devi pehale apni maa baap, phir apne yeh baap bhi'. 'Na teri shaadi huyi thik thak se ab kya karen' she shouted at Khushi. Payal tried stopping buaji as it was not Khushi's fault but buaji just kept yelling hurtful words at Khushi. Khushi was broken completely. She looked at her family and wanted them to be happy.
She went to the stairs and took out the mobile and dialed Arnav Singh Raizada! I agree but I need 3L not 1.5 she said.
'Money is not a problem' he said.
'Okay then', after my father is operated and discharged I will be at your service whenever you want she said and cut the phone. She put her head on the wall totally defeated and sobbed her heart out at her fate.
10 months later she was wearing the latest designer suit waiting for Arnav Singh Raizada at her penthouse apartment in the city. She looked out at the horizon where the sun was just setting with a reddish streak across the darkening sky. She sighed how had she done it she wondered? She had arranged a house for her parents in Lucknow and sent them there after her dad's operation and lied to them she was working here in city and would send them money every month. She never visited them in the last year she could not look at her parents in the eye she knew after what she had become. As for Mr. Raizada he had her whenever and wherever he wanted. He showered her expensive dresses and gifts and dined her at the expensive restaurants and made her stay in this ultra expensive pent house suite. But the life had gone out of her and there was just a dead body standing in front of him everyday. He realized this and it made him more angry with her which meant more barbs but they never affected her now because she had seen the worst!
Akash had met Payal in Lucknow and fixed his marriage with her parents. Khushi came to know from Arnav. She was so happy and thrilled for Payal.
'I don't think I can avoid you from this event though I have kept you away from my sister so long!'. 'Better come late don't talk to my sister wish yours and leave back here soon' he told
and left.
'Khushi did not want to go either but she knew she had to because not going would raise more questions'. She had to put another brave performance she thought.
He knew as soon as she entered his house. All the guests around hazed out and he could see only her. She was like a drug to whom he had gotten addicted to. The more he had her the more he wanted. But Arnav knew somewhere something had changed in her she had hardened now but today she looked completely vulnerable like the Khushi he had first met. 'Was it because her family was here' he wondered.
The first time he had taken her to the penthouse she had been very calm. She had looked at him with nothing but pity and told him that she was going to tell this only once and never talk about this subject every again in her life that she had been tricked by Shyam and had never blackmailed him to marry her as he had claimed. She loved and respected Anjali di and would never plan to spoil her life in anyways! Someday you will realize that I am telling the truth and I can only feel sorry for you she had told and walked inside the bedroom without turning back.
'Was there an ounce of truth in what she was telling?' a tiny voice from his conscience nagged at him. He shut it up.
That nigth was the last he had seen her as she had disappeared from the apartment. A week later she turned up at his office. Arnav was angry with her for leaving him.
He dragged her to his private quarters. Pushed her against the wall removed her chudidar and his trousers and without any preliminaries entered her. She was ready for him as he angrily thrust into her. Khushi hated her body for betraying her yet again and welcoming him into her. God she had missed him this one week she thought and cried as she reached her climax. Arnav came with a final thrust. He did not withdraw himself from her he took her to the bed and removed her suit and started biting and sucking her breasts like a man starved. She felt him growing inside her again and she ran her hands through his hair with impatience. He started thrusting into her again. And she welcomed his intimate thrusts by opening wider for him. And finally they both reached their climax at the same time.
Arnav left her on the bed to take a shower. Not a word had been said between them. Khushi felt so shameful for letting him do this to her. She had forgotten what she had come to tell him. She started to cry. She heard the shower stop and wiped her tears. Arnav came out in his towel. Khushi looked at him. He threw the penthouse keys at her. 'I knew you would be back'. 'Money is addictive and I knew you could not last long without it' he said.
Khushi got up dressed and left the office. Arnav turned and looked that the keys were still
on the bed. God dammit what was it about her that turned him into this he wondered. There were 3 calls from KKG after that but he had instructed his secretary not to pass on any calls from now on or allow her to enter his room without his permission. That had been the last time with her and he had jumped into work and had been working like mad to forget her yet all he had been doing this past month was remembering her again and again. It was almost like she needed him somehow his heart felt and he kept ignoring it repeatedly. He had reached home and he went inside to see his sister completely agitated.
PRECAP
Khushi was in a red suit which was very sexy. Damn had she done it wantedly he wondered.
She hugged Payal, Akash and wished them. Hugged her parents and buaji. After a teary reunion it was time for dinner. She was on automaton and had her dinner. She looked at him he did not even acknowledge her presence here or say hello. Why would he she was his secret mistress one hidden from the whole world. What was to happen now with her. She thought she was going to collapse and ran to the rest room. She locked herself in and sobbed.
Someone knocked on the door. She did not open hoping they would go away. But soon the door opened and Anjali-ji was standing in front of her. It's time we spoke she said strongly. Khushi did not want to as Arnav forbade her to but the night adn the situation she was in had taken its toll on her and she could not be strong anymore. She sobbed and Anjali hugged her and calmed her.
