Part 2
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She had lost ... and she knew that the moment she moved away from him realising that it was him with whom she had dance all along.The shocking faces of their family members didnt help her resolve to continue the dance. She forced her eyes to look if he was as shocked or uneasy as her and what she saw made her boil with anger. He smirked ... yes the Laad Governor smirked ... that was when it all dawned to her. He had planned it all along. His so called banters with her during the whole sangeet ,trying to make her nervous by pointing that she was nervous ... the way he stared at her from time to time, to only give a smirk while she made a gesture that she had win . Those smirks had cost her the bet !!! ... yes ... although she felt that she was prepared , his poise all along of that of a very confidant person who had a plan had made her nervous. She smacked herself for that. And now ... she had stopped dancing ... It dawned to her , that the damage was already done ... she cudn tell that she didnt know with whom she danced ... it would sound stupid considering the fact that they had danced for 3 whole minutes closely ... or rather intimately ... she just made a hard fist ,with her finger nails digging to her palms ... punishing herself for being stupid ... and naive ... She had single handedly beaten nani's , mami' and Nk's score , thanks to two stellar performances with perfect 10's . but here she had lost to her stupidity ... that too when it was a tie ... Soo much for winnning !!! she cursed . Well ... what's done is done ... you promised you had do whatever he tells ... so dont chicken out ... No ... dont you dare chicken out Khushi Kumari Gupta ... Khushi Kumari Gupta could be anything ... but a cheater she wasnt ... like that Laad Governor ... oh wait ... said a part of her mind ... he didnt cheat ... he was just being him ... a sauve and sharp business man with a cut throat strategy which worked for him ...
The results were announced and the Raizaadas had won by a single point .But ... the judges had decided something else . They told, the Natraj murti would be given to the best dancer , and not necessarily the winning side had the best dancer. Her ears sharpened when she heard that and so did his . Nani looked indulgently at the judges giving a nod for their decision. It was announced that Khushi had infact won the Murti ... since without doubt she was the best dancer for tonight. she went ahead to the stage and recieved the murti from Nani , she took nani's blessings and looked at Arnav that she had won !!! But why the hell was he still smirking and not angry ?? This confused her, but she didnt have time to clarify since hordes of family members surrounded her to congratulate.
Anjali , Amma and Jiji hugged her , while Mama gave his blessings , Aakash surprising hugged his sali out of affection, NK patted her back and Bua ... her Drunk bua almost crushed her and had it not been for NK and Aakash , she would have been turned to keema ... she tried to take in some breath by moving away from the commotion, when Shyaam came to her to wish her. She was about to walk away from him, when she saw Anjali. She silently nodded for his "Congratulations Khushiji", and left smiling at Anjali. She cursed whomever possible on earth for not being able to enjoy her sister's sangeet. Unknown to her she reached the Kitchen, she just walked along until a voice made her come out of her reverrie ..

She cursed whomever possible on earth for not being able to enjoy her sister's sangeet. Unknown to her she reached the Kitchen, she just walked along until a voice made her come out of her reverrie ..
"Tum yaha kya kar rahi ho ?? " , said Arnav .
She stumbled a bit and by mistake the murti on her hand pushed the 'sweet box' opening it . They both stared or glared at each other ,they didnt know. Nor did the lethal creature which made its way out from the confines of the counter. It was trying to find a dark space to make its nest and hated light. Khushi placed the murti on the counter next to the box and unknowingly her hand just missed the first sting by a breather. The scorpio considered her to be an enemy or predator.
"aap ?? ... aap yaha kya kar rahe hai ??",she asked him. "Tum shayad bhool gayi ho ... ki yeh mera ghar hai ... mai jaha chahe waha jaa sakta hoon ...aur waise bhi ... yeh mere question ka jawaab nahi tha ki tum yaha kya kar rahi ho ??",he replied back, quite amused at her inconvinience caused due to him. He smirked agarin and that set her off , "toh ??? ... aap ka ghar hai toh kya hua ?? ... aap yaha humara peecha nahi kar sakte ... samjhe aap ??",she stuttered. He folded his arms in amusement and looked at her and again smirked,"main ?? ... tumhara peecha ?? ... apne aap ko kuch zyaada hi importance deti ho tum ... Khushi Kumari Gupta ??",he said. She narrowed her eyes and placed her hands on her hips,"accha ?? ... toh aap yaha kyun aaye hai ?? ... woh bhi sangeet ko chodke ??",she haughtily asked him."Mujhe naach gaana aur shor sharaba pasand nahi",he said. "Accha ?? ... naach gana pasand nahi ... aur Khud hi naach rahe the ??...",she bit her tounge once the last statement was out. He just cocked his eyebrows ,"oh yes ... mai bhool kaise sakta hoon ... mujhe toh tumhe yeh kehna tha ki mai kya chahta hoon ... aur tum wohi karogi jo mai kahunga ... right ?? ... kya kaha tha tumne ... kuch bhi karogi...correct ??",he said with hints of sarcasm and mischief.
"Kya ??? ... hum nahi haare ... hum toh jeete hai ...dekhiye ... humne kaha tha ki hum natarjji ki murti jeetenge ... toh hum shart kaise haare ??",she tried reasoning clutching on to last strands of hope .she took the nataraj murti and held it infront of him,again missing the sting from the poisonous creature which was fed up of her missing its aim.It then decided , next time , no missing , I shall inject all my venom into this enemy.
He again smirked , confusing her further, did she actually win and still lose or did she just lose ??. "Khushi Kumari Gupta ... tumhe shayad humare shart ke conditions yaad nahi ... maine kaha tha ki ladke wale nahi harenge ... shart mai maine yeh kabhi nahi kaha tha ki mai is murti ko jeetna chahta hoon ... Kuch yaad aaya ?? ... aur jaise ki maine kaha ... ladke wale hi jeete hai is muqable ko ... and obviously ... main shart jeet gaya ",said Arnav . Khushi just gaped , even in the heat of moment , he had kept his conditions clear. His only condition was that the boy's side will not lose , neither did he mention about a tie , nor did he mention about the murti and never did he mention about the murti .and she like a stupid prey had walked into his trap !!! Can this Laad Governor ever get real ?? she thought . "Kya hua Khushi ?? ... oh ... I know ... tumne itna socha bhi nahi hoga na ... tum toh kya ... oh yes ... abhyaas kar rahi thi ... and as usual , kismat ne tumhara saath nahi diya ... tum yeh murti jeetke bhi shar haar gayi ... I know ... tum yeh baat maan ne ko tayyar nahi hogi ki tum haar gayi ... but I will claim my win Khushi ... tum chahe maano ya na maano ...",he said with each word oozing confidence.
He turned to go away,but Khushi replied ,"Kya karna hoga hume ?? ...",with her head bowed. He just turned to have a look at her and gave that slow lethal smile of his , which never meant good news for her.But she was prepared. He slowly marched towards her and took out the murti from her and placed it on the counter. The scorpio was stunned by the new enemy and tried to sting Arnav,but it missed him. Now it was completely angry , if a creature as itself could ever be. "Mai chahta hoon ki...",he started with his hand dangling near the counter and the scorpio had marched towards him preparing to sting.
Khushi lifted her eyes to have a look at him and that was when she noticed it. She shifted her eyes from him to the scorpio and as if on reflex, "Arnavjii...", a gasp escaped her mouth. She tried to move his hand away from the counter using her own,but in the process, the creature stung her, sending all the poison it had into her body. "aahhh...",another gasp escaped from her mouth , when Arnav looked at her bewildered as to why she had held his hand.
He moved his gaze towards her hand and was his turn to be shocked. He noticed the scorpio ,still prepared to sting again at her and pulled her aside. In a matter or seconds, she took out the stone hammer of the masala crusher and hit the scopio twice with her unstung hand, trying to kill it. She had some difficulty doing that since she couldnt concentrate on the task ,thanks to spreading of venom in her body making her fuzzy. She realized that she had started to feel numb on the stung part of her hand. It had stung a nerve ,making the process of spreading of the venom faster. Arnav took the hammer from her hand and stuck a couple of blows on the creature killing it.
"Khushi !!! ... kya kiya tumne ??",he questioned her angryly. In the process of saving his life , she had put hers into jeopardy , he cudnt stand that thought. Khushi , he shook her by shoulders , trying to steady her ,while she tried to focus her eyes to get rid of fuzziness. Noticing the effect of poison on her,he decided to take her to the hospital. But before that he had to clean the wound. He led her to the kitchen counter, and tried washing her hands wish soap and warm water. He knew such details thanks to the NCC scout training he had undergone while at school. after he was sure that the wound was well washed, he tried to get tissues from the counter when she felt nausea take over her. She felt queasy and threw up,the fact that she was next to the wash basin was helpful. He saw her throwing up and knew that the venom had started to effect. He held her hair and saree pallu assisting her. Once she was done, he supported her and told her ,"chalo Khushi ... hume tumhe hospital le jaana hai ...". Without having any strength and starting to lose conciousness,she gladly held on to him.
He again smirked , confusing her further, did she actually win and still lose or did she just lose ??. "Khushi Kumari Gupta ... tumhe shayad humare shart ke conditions yaad nahi ... maine kaha tha ki ladke wale nahi harenge ... shart mai maine yeh kabhi nahi kaha tha ki mai is murti ko jeetna chahta hoon ... Kuch yaad aaya ?? ... aur jaise ki maine kaha ... ladke wale hi jeete hai is muqable ko ... and obviously ... main shart jeet gaya ",said Arnav .

He held her hair and saree pallu assisting her. Once she was done, he supported her and told her ,"chalo Khushi ... hume tumhe hospital le jaana hai ...". Without having any strength and starting to lose conciousness,she gladly held on to him.
On his way towards his car, he met with questioning glances of family and friends.He didnt have much time to explain everything to all, just barked "Biccho ne kaata hai isse ... hospital le jaa raha hoo ... ", and everyone gasped. the last image he remembered was of his family's , everyone was shocked ,but one face stood out. His jijaji's face was pale , as if blood had drained out of his body and beads of sweat were forming on his head and he looked guilty ... why so Arnav wondered. He brushed the thought aside thinking that Khushi's hospitalization was his first priority and the rest of the world and his family could wait .
Once inside the car, he made Aakash hold her steady with her hand at her heart's level to slow down the poison from spreading further and asking him to keep her engaged .She was drifting in and out of consiousness ,with Aakash and arnav patting her face and sprinkling cold water on her face trying to keep her awake. "just 5 mins Khushi ... just 5 mins ... stay with me ... he squeezed her shoulder with his left hand while the right one controlled the steering.
Once into the hospital , he barked at the doctors to treat her . She was taken into the ICU and subjected to large dozes of anti-venom. The doctors informed the brothers that it was upto her and her body to accept the anti-venom and hoped that she didnt develop an allergic reaction to the antivenom,which could be fatal. The doctor also informed that , her right hand, which was stung by the scorpion will be numb and it might take her days or even months to recover completely. Just hen the nurse came and told that she was not responding to the medicines although there was no instances of a allergic reaction. the doctor just sighed,"ab isme hum kya kar sakte hai ... it depends on her will power ... the ball is in her court and i hope she does have the strength to help us fight the venom"

Arnav decided to stay at the hospital and informed Aakash to go back to the family and inform them about the current situation. Aakash although a bit surprised by his brother's care, complied by it. Soon, Arnav went and sat next to Khushi's bed. He stared at her face ,which was pale and tired ,but still managed to look beautiful.He looked at her unmoving lips and did not like them the way they were , they were not speaking , nor smiling. He didnt like her like this, silent and weak.
He hesitantly held her stung hand in his and caressed the puncture mark with his other hand. Her hand was pale, lifeless and cold against his warm one with life . He remembered the doctor's word that everything was upto her , her recovery needed her will power to fight back. He slowly moved away the hair on her face and tucked them behind her ears. He moved his lips near them and whispered to her,"Khushi ... mujhe pata nahi ki tum meri baat sun sakti ho ya nahi ... but mai yeh sochna chahta hoon ki tum meri baat sun rahi ho ... Khushi Kumari gupta ... maine tumse kaha tha ki mai apni kismat khud likhta hoo ... aur maine tumhe abhi apni zindagi se jaane ki permission nahi dii hai ... aur nahi kabhi doonga samjhi tum ... haan tumhari kuch bachkani harkaton se mujhe gussa aata hai ... par tumhari chuppi ... tumhara mujhse door jaana ... mujhe maar daalta hai ... Listen Khushi ... mai chahta hoo ki tum lado ... is zeher se jo tumhari body mai phail gaya hai ... tumhe usse harana hoga khushi ... apne liye ... apne family ke liye ... mere liye ... samjhi tum ?? aur ek baat yaad rakhna ... Arnav Singh raizaada ki baat koi mana nahi karta ... aur tum toh bilkul mana nahi kar sakti ". He came back to his position of just holding her hand in his .
He didnt realise that he had slept off , until a nurse came in to check her stats . she informed him that there was a commotion outside due to the relatives of the patient. He sighed and went out with a last glance at her to handle a hysterical family ... correction needed families out there. It was decided that Payal would stay back since amma had to take care of Bua who was acting weird. Arnav bullied himself to stay back since supposedly there needs to be a male to run around for medicines or any emergency.By morning, the doctors informed him and Payal that she was responding to the medications , but her fuzziness will be gone in a couple of days . Even if she was concious , she would be confused and any attempt to talk to her would be futile.

Even if she was concious , she would be confused and any attempt to talk to her would be futile.
After a couple of days , the doctors informed that they could talk to the patient. everyone rushed in . Bua and Amma being the first with her Babuji, with bua's haaye re nandakishore ... and amma's crying for her daughter. Next was Payal and Aakash, with payal chiding her pagalpan and Aakash trying to control their crying. Then it was Nani and Anjali with his dii crying that she had scared them all and cudn think of what would have happened if they were late to hospital. surprisingly his jijaji wasnt there and another thought crosssed his mind, and yet again he put that aside since only he and NK were left to speak to her. Both entered and Arnav gestured NK to speak to her, "Khushiji aapne toh hume dagha diya ... ", he told . She looked quizzically at NK and Arnav told,"dara ... ", NK replied ,"oh yaa ..." . and it was his weird hindi if anyone could dare call it so that bought a slight smile on her face. Arnav instructed him to go since he wanted to speak to her alone . NK left and Arnav came and sat next to her life two days before.
He took her numb and limp hand in his and ran his fingers on the puncture wound which was showing signs of healing. He looked at her," Kaisi ho ?? ... tum theek ho ??" , she nodded. "Kuch mehsoos ho raha hai Khushi ?? ... tumhare haath mai ??",he enquired , she just replied "Nahi ... aisa lagta hai ki humare paas ek haath hi nahi hai ..." . He gave a pained expression to her. "Khushi Kumari gupta ... tumhari himmat kaise hui aise karne ki ... apni jaan ko khatre mai daalne ki ?? ... Kabhi yeh nahi socha ki iska anjaam kya hoga ??? kya beetegi hum sab pe ??",he spoke lethally at her. She just looked at him, " agar hum aisa nahi karte toh ... woh aapko kaat leta ... hum toh bass ...",she was stopped midway by his stare of awe. She did this to save me ?? Unbelievable. "tum jaan na chahti thi na ki mai kya chahta hoo ??", she nodded ,"Khushi Kumari Gupta ... listen to me very carefully ... Never ... Ever ... try to save my life again !!! " , and he smiled at her. She just gave him one of her gingerly yet bright smile.
